RECOMMENDATIONS

January 20, 1854.
To C. e. Detn,old President ~ J. line Co., ~ T..
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-
iions 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, al
Washington nd shall send with il a 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 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 obedent servant

KANS A s.

1t appears by the following, accounts which
are taken from a communication written by
Mr.. Monypenny, Commissioner of Indian Al
fairs, bearing date Of July 18th, published in
Western paper, that more than ten millions
OF acres lying to the north Of the river Kan
sas, which waters the territory of that name,
have been Internationally coded to the United
States by treaties made with different aborigi-
nal tribes, and those treaties have been ratified
by the Senate at Washington. These are all
subject to the right of pre- emption. So far
as the title of the Indians is concerned the
greater part of the territory of Kansas to the
north OF its principal river, is open for emf
grafton. There are other treaties already con-
cluded for the unconditional cession of the
greater part of the Indian lands to the south
of the river, which await the sanction of the
Senate, amounting to nearly two millions Of
acres, which as soon as the treaties are ratified,
will be in like manner subject to the right of
presumption.
"All the treaties concluded with the tribes
north of the Kansas river have been ratified
by the Senate, and embrace the Omahas, Of
toes and Missourias, Sacs and Foxes of Mis-
souri,, Iowas, Kickapoos and Deawares.
The cessions of land to the United States by
these treaties amount to about eleven millions
five hundred thousand acres, all Of which is
Internationally ceded, and therefore subject
to presumption, except about six hundred
and thirty four Thousand five hundred acres,
which is to be sold as the lands of the United
States are sold, with this difference that Con-
gress may, after limited time, graduate and
reduce the price, and the proceeds OF the sales
are to be paid to the tribes, after deducting
therefrom the cost of surveying, managing and
selling the same OF this six hundred and
thrty-four thousand five hundred acres, five
hundred and thirty eight thousand five hum
dred belong to the Delawares, and ninety-six
thousand to the Iowas.
should the treaties concluded with tribes
south Of the Kansas river be ratified by the
Senate, the amount of land ceded by them is
about two millions and twenty-six thousand
acres; all OF which, with the exception Of
