RECOMMENDATIONS


January 20, 1854.
To C. f. DetMold, President ~ J. Zinc Co., " K.
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-
tons 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
barnacles whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing a full report on this lmpor-
tan subject 10 the Bureaus of Yards and Docks, at
Washington, and shall send with il a complete Sc
ries OF specimens of wood anG metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
paraions, 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 OF
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,

AUSTRIA AND PRUssIA.--We are not one
Of those who credit the rumor that Austria
and Prussia are to side with the western
powers against the Car. They, no doubt,
deprecatc war, and above all, war in the
heart of Europe. But their sympathies are
with Russia, and they will indirectly sustain
her in her movements against Turkey.
Russia does not require them TO take the
field in her behalf They can indeed best
serve her by observing strict neutrality.
From their geographical position, they pro-
tcct her most Vulnerable frontier; with Aus
tra and Prussia neutral, her western provin-
ces, which comprise the finest portion Of
the empire, are inaccessible to an enemy ;
aud Russia is abundantly able to defend the
extreme points of her territory.
It is the policy of Nicholas to keep the
public mind in perpetual state of uncer-
tainiy in reference to his own design and in
reference to the designs Of his natural allies.
Time is everything to him; and so reluctant
is England to go to war, that she will do
nothing to precipitate hostilities and these
false rumors are put in circulation that there
may be indecision in her councils N. Y.

THE PERRYSBURG JOURNAL.

Senator Douglas has had some difficulty
III 1lXlng his scheme, to introduce the slavery
question again into Congress to his own
liking lie has had three different forms of
expression by way OF explanation to his bill.
The last one is as follows:
" 1t being the true intent and meaning of
tins act not to legislate slavery into any
Territory or State, nor to exclude it there
from, but to leave the people thereof per-
: teclly free to form and regulate their do
: nestle institutions in their own wav. sub
Iect only to the Constitution of the United
{ States
This is precious piece of CANNON. and
worthy of the demagogue who got it up.
Senator Smith was right when he told Doug
las that there was no hope for man when
he takes it into his head that he is cunning.
He is from that time lost to honesty and in
tegrlty.
Now, this very bill of Senator Douglas
tor the government of Nebraska provides.
that the President of the United States shall
appoint the Gorernor and Judges of that
territory. These appointments must be
confirmed by the Senate. The bill also pro-
yldes that this Governor, appointed by the
PRESIDENT, shall have an unlimited Ueto po1ver.
ne can prevent the passage OF any law by
the representatives of the people Of the
Territory. And farther still, Congress has
the right to pass upon any and all laws that
may be passed by the Territorial Legislature,
and sanctioned by the Governor, and to re-
Ject or confirm them as it sees fit.
All these clogs and restrictions are put
upon the people of Nebraska by the bill of
Dougt :. And yet he talks of permitting
the people of Nebraska to ''regulate their
domestic institutions as they see fit. Why
not lot them elect their own Governor? !?
Why compel them to submit all their laws
to Congress? Why give a Governor sent to
them the veto power? Will some friend of
the bill! explain to the people these mon
strouS inconslstencies.-tO 10. S. Journal.

Another dreadful shipwreck has occurred
off the coast of Ireland, by which the ship
John Tayleur, bound from London to Mel
bourne, proved total loss. She was $500
tons burthen, and was considered one Of the
finest specimens of naval architecture ever
produced in England. She had 488 passen-
gers, l6 cabin; officers, crew, &c, were 70 !;
and five stow-aways'' were discovered, ma
king in all $40 The number saved is $50,
leaving thus 349 as perished. The John Tay-
leur was driven out of her course by stress
of weather, and ran on rock called the
nose" of Lombardy Island, which is near
Dublin Bay. After striking she turned broad
side on, filled with water, slid off, and sunk,
leaving only the top of her masts visible
A seaman who lashed himself to the top of
a mast, was rescued by the Coast Guard.--
The amount of loss or insurance has not vet
been stated, but as the vessel had immense
accommodations, and had upwards of 1900
tons of cargo on board. the loss must neces-
sarily be large, ,-[San. Reg.

with the Omahas, whereby our Government
purchases a tract of country estimated at
six and half millions of acres at ten cents

afforded Mai Gatewood has not been as

guilty Of the murder of Mr.. ALEXANDER
CRAIG, suffered the extreme penalty of the
law, at this place, on Friday last. a large
number ofpersons witnessed the execution.
We learn from those who were present, that
Tony, in his last dying confession, accused
the negro Dave (his cousin) Of being an ae-
couplico with him In the horrible deed.
This is confirmation of what he had be-
fore declared in Jail. IIe spoke very
inteligently We are told, cautioned his
fellow servants Of the horror Of his pres
ent situation which was caused by desire to
bo possessed of n paltry SUN Of money. He
then prayed to God to forgive him--sang a
hymn in which he was jcined by other sla' es
and was then launched into eternity.

implicated in this foul murder, commenced

and Williams, counsel for the defence and
