duced into this market, now nearly thirty years
ago. they being sole proprietors of all the identical
yineyards, cellars, &C., which the founders and
originators Of this celebrated brand had owned.
Such being the fact, we need not dwell upon the
superior quality of their Wines, the reputation Of
the same among the American public being already
identified with unsurpassed excellence;
We beg particularly to notice that their brand
still bears the same name Of Heidsieck & Co., 10
full, by which it first became 80 favoraby known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH
lar marks which have since appeared.

SIR: A series of ofexperiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years.
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
tions for the preservation of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the w White Zinc
Paint, manufacturedb by the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as a perfect protection against the
ravages Of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect,
| am now preparing full report on this tmpor-
tant subject to the Bureaus of Yards and Docks at
Washington, and shall send with il a complete Sc
ries Of specimens of wood and metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations, and then exposed alike for an entire
season, in salt water, opposite this navy yard all
of which illustrates, in the most striking manner
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
paints especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty TO give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor-
tance to be kept from the naval and commercial
world. / am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

The remarks Of the Senators upon it. The
document is as extraordinary as it is
brief We doubt if as much shocking
presumption can be found in as few words
elsewhere. They protest " in the name
Of Almighty God - Surely, these men
have overlooked the import Of words.
Who authorized poor, frail, fallible NOR
tails TO protest in such name In the
name Of common veneration for sacred
things, we protest against such profanity.
We are glad the Senste resisted and re-
sented the presumption. They undertake
to inform Senators that their act has ex-
posed the country to the judgment of
Heaven. This is little better than the
beginning. What do they know about
the question Of the judgment of Heaven
upon it, more than the members of the
body they propose to frighten !-LOuis-
