Wool GROWING IN SOUTH CARROLL,
NA,-The Charleston Mereu,y says
that the experiment of rearing fine
breeds of sheep for wool in the upper
part Of South Carolina promises to be
completely successful. Mr.. j. D.
WAGNER, the Hon. r. f. Simpson,
and other gentlemen in Fickens have
engaged in it, and they seem to have
established the facts that sheep -four
ish in that region remarkably well,
that they can be raised at trifling cost
compared with that of the wool-grow>
ing regions of the north, and that the
quality of the wool of the choice Eu-
ropean breeds do not degenerate. Mr..
Wagener has taken an active part in
this enterprise, and las imported a
stock Of the famous Saxon sheep. which
is found 10 thrive well in Fickens.
Specimens Of wool of his raising were
transmitted to ono Of the largest mans
ufacturers Of New England, who pro-
nounced a most favorable judgement
on them, and rated them at the top Of
the market. The Mercury attaches
no slight Importance to the introduc-
tion Of wool growing in the upper dis
tricts, which properly followed up,
will prove a source of wealth to that
part Of the State.-Albany Register,

OPINIONS OF ATTORNEYS GENER-

| having just published an octave edition of the
official decisions OF the Attorneys General OF the
/ United States, expoundng 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
1 $50 pages each, comprising all the decisions OF
that character made since the adoption OF the
4 federal constitution, and prior TO the 4th day oil
| July, 1851, and to be continued up to the present
time with synoptical notes and copious 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 jursts
and civilians, fully authorized to decide the vari-
Gus questions of civil, common International,
constitutional, commercial, and municipal law,
which have arisen in the course of the admins
tration of the government, and bearing, as they
do, upon nearly every subject Of civil polity and
jurisdiction, it necessarily follows that they are
scarcely inferior in Importance TO 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.
extraditon, &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-
quisltion to their libraries.
The editions put up in the style of Howards
Reports of Decisions of the Supreme Court, and
sold at the moderate price Of three dollars per
volume.
Librarians Of States and public institutions
reminded that they may conveniently obtain the

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, manufaciuredby 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 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 anG metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations, and then exposed alike for an entire

OF which illustrates. in the most striking manner,

your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds oi
