NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

u. s. NAVY YARD GosPoRT, Va,
January 90 1854.
To G. e. Detnold, President ~ j. Zinc Co., " y.
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-
lions 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 as perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnaces, 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 il complete se-
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 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,
JAMES JARVIS,
Inspector U. S. Navy Yard, Gosport, Va.

~
NJ pagne.-The subscribers having been ap-
upoited by Messrs. Heidsieck N Co. TO succeed
Mr.. Charles Engler, heretofore sole agent in the
in the United States for the sale Of their Wines,
who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention of the public to the subjoined
card.
The Messrs. Heidsleck & Co., as set forth there
in Justly claim 10 be alone enabled to send TO this
country the genuine Heidsieck a Co. Champagne,
under the same name and ayle as originally intro
duced into this market, now nearly thirty years
ago, they being sole propretors of all the identical
vineyards, cellars, &c, which the founders and
orignators 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., IN
full by which il first became so favorably known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH
lar marks which have since appeared
New YORK, January l., 1854.
CRAMER & ABEGG,

STANISLAUS MURRAY is our sub-agent for

CARD.-Upon the dissolution of the old
firm Heidsieck & Co., in 1884, the senior partner,
who had the sole charge of its liquidation, con-
tnued the business, retaining exclusive possession
OF the vineyards, vaults, &c, which the origina
partnership had enjoyed.
Our new firm are his immediate successors and
sole proprietors of this well-known brand.
In order TO distinguish the same from limitations
and marks similar to our own, which have .ap-
peared and may hereafter appear in this market,
the name of our firm in full will be found on the
labels and around the corks.

The Spirit Of Atolitionism

The spirit of abolitionism is hellish one.
To accomplish its ends, it shrinks no, from
resistance to law; it hesitates not TO iInbiue
it hands in human blood. Treason and
murder are its familiar demons.
So declares the Burlington Gazette. -
What is the spirit OF Aboltionism' The
Gasess has termed all who were opposed tc
the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise
Aboltionis.s; the spirit Of Aboli.ionisn
then, according to its vocabulary. must be
Anti-Nebraskaitm. Wonder if all those
who are willing 20 be called Anti Nebraska
men can endorse the above sentiments
The man who would use such language g:
the sbcve quoted, is frebrand in any com
muuity.

Tho Priee Of Hees.

A writer in the Scientific American main
tains that the present high price of beef is
occasioned BY its scarcity, which in turn il
caused by farmers selling their calves to the
butchers. Last year. for instance, $4,000
calves were butchered and consumed in the
city Of New York. Had these calves been
raised they would have averaged at leas,
500 lbs. each. which would have amounted
to la,ooo,Oo0 lbs. This amount would
have supplied every man, woman and child
in the city with one pound of beef eachfor
three weeks, whereas the veal didn't last
three days. He might have added, at the
same time, that candles and soap would
have been cheaper and hides lower. In
Brazil it is penal offence to kill calf.
consequently that country supplies us with
tallow and hides.

The Waukesha Democrat has an edtorj.
al about the speed of cars on certain wes-
tern railroad. of which the following is the
closing paragraph.
"Travelers Of leisure say they like this
road better than any other in the country, it
is SO much like the Erie canal, they can Jump
offto pick strawberries hoot pigeons, liquor
up &C., and occasionally return to sit on the
cars to rest Last week we conyersed with
a farmer on the line of the road who hap-
pened to have three sheep killed on the
track. He spent ten days in vain endeav-
orlng to find out who owned the road, that
he might sue for damages; he then consult
ed an honest attorney, who informed him
that he could not prove that the cars run
fast enough to overtake sheep or anything
else. /" e

somebody don't get bit at these rates We are
no prophet. We advise farmers to sell of
I'll their surplus speedily as possible. Our
eastern exchanges speak fayoraLly Of the
crop. The Western New York papers say,
that it win be better than last year both in
quality and quantity. In some towns in
Massachusetts they are selling at 25 cts.
per bnshel. while everywhere they are de-
clining in price.
