nPINIoNs OF ATTORNEYS GENER-

~ al OF the United States.-Ihe undersigned
having just published an octave edition OF the
official decisions Of the Attorneys General of the
United States, expounding the Constitution, sub
sisting Treaties with foreign nations, and the In
dian tribes, and giving construction to the public
laws of the country, in five volumes, averaging
$50 pages each, comprising all the decisions oi

time with synoptical notes and copous indices,
he respectfully announces his readiness TO answer
orders for the work, and to forward the same by
express, or otherwise, TO any part OF the United
| States.
Being the productions of distinguished Jurists
and civilians, fully authorized TO decide the var
Gus questions Of civil, common, international
constitutional, commercial and municipal law,
which have arisen in the course of the admins
traton of the government and bearing, as they
do upon nearly every subject of civil polity and
Jurisdictions it necessarily follows that they are
scarcely inferior in Importance 10 the Constitution
which they defend, and the laws which they ex-
plain. They not only set forth the political econo-
my and fundamental principles Of the federal gov
ernment and the rules and regulations enforced
in its administration, but they also define the
powers and duties, and, in many instances, the
Compensation of its civil and military officers
The subjects OF national sovereignty, neutrality.
extradition, &C., are therein thoroughly discussed,
and our revenue laws, land laws, patent laws
pension laws, &c, commented upon and eX-
planned. 1t is, therefore, believed that public
ministers, consuls, governors of States, district
attorneys, marshals, collectors of customs, sur
veyors of ports naval officers, receivers of public
moneys, registers Of land offices, Indian agents,
officers of the army and navy, and, indeed, all
public men will find these volumes valuable ac-
QUESTION 10 their Libraries.
Tie editions put up in the style of Howard's
Reports of Decisions Of the Supreme Court, and
sold at the moderate price of three dollars per
volume.
Librarians Of States and public institutions are
reminded that they may conveniently obtain the
work, through their representatives in Congress,
if the latter are Immediately addressed upon the
subject. I

RECOMMENDATIONS

U. 5. NAVY YARD, GospoRT, VA,
January 90, 1854.
To c. E.. Detmold President ~. J. Zinc Co, ~ 4.
SIR: A series of experiments 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 White Zinc
Paint, manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves perfect protection against the
ravages ofthe marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject to the Bureaus of Yards and Docks at
Washington, and shall send with it complete Sc
ries Of specimens Of wood anG 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,
