U. .. NAVY YARD, S1oSPohTi VA,
January 20, 1854.
To c. e. Denold, President ~. y. Ziae Coz ~ y.
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 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 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 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 10 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.

JHE Washington correspondent Of the y. Y. Cou
rier gives an account Of the troubles the Brcader
has had over sundry bills, for not having a mind Of
his own and will to act independently.
1t is stated upon the authority of an Administra
ton Senator supposed to stand high in the confidence
oil Gen. Pierce, that the President had resolved TO
veto the Cape Fear River Bill up to within a dav o,
two OF the time he gave it his approval So with the
Territorial Homestead Billion Thursday it was tho
Presidents intention to veto that bill and on Satur
DAY morning he sent it in with an unconditional an.
pro'al The Homestead Bill as passed by the House
Of Representatives, defeated in the Senate. i. is
said, from the apprehension or belief created by some
oil the confidential friends Of the President that he
would veto IT, and at that very time President Pierce
was giving his signature to the Territorial Homestead
buL IL was said that he assured Miss Dix that ne
"ouo sanction her bill for the grant Of land to the
support Of the INDECENT insane but he vetoed IL +,
auution TO the foregoing instances Of vascaton and
uuPhchy on tho part Of the President VIC might cit,
MS course IN the appointment Of Minister 10 France
ana numerous other instances Of a similar character
oucn acts nave been repeated so often within IN,
briei period OF his Administration that they can I
be attributed TO contemplate weakness ,yon, y
any manly independence to fit him for discharpin,
the responsible duties OF his post, or to the natura
inclination Of the man to play the bypocrte. Which
Of those two causes is to be assigned we believe hi
friends are considerably at loss at this time to de
eide. Some Of them have the charity to attribute hi
vascatng, inconsistent course 10 the former cause
and do HIM the credit to think tina, he has the ispos
ton to do right II he only knew how while others ar
strongly inciinng TO the opinion that there is moi
knays than fool in II after all.
