ago, they being sole proprietors Of all the identical
vineyards, cellars, NC, which the founders and
originators 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 Hedsieck d Co., in

being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH

who had the sole charge of its liquidation, con-
tinued the business, retaining exclusive possession
of the VINEYARDS, vaults &c, which the origina

Our new firm are his immediate successors and
sole proprietors of this weknown brand.
In order to distinguish the same from limitations

peared and may hereafter appear in this market,
the name of our firm in full will be found on the

To C. E. Damold, President N. J. lime 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-
tions for the preservation Of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufactured by the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation oi
barnacles, whilst other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject 10 the Bureaus of Yards and Docks at
Washington and shall send with it complete Sc
res 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 to give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor-
lance to be kept from the naval and commercial
world. am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

Lord Raglan's despatch, refers to the aw-
iul spectacle presented by the field after the
battle. The correspondent of the Herald
says that the horrors of the scene beggar
all description. Groans and screams OF
agony were rising up from all parts of the
field, while the Russian ships and fortifca-
tions threw perfect storm of shell over it,
killing indiscriminately the Russiani Eng
lish, and French wounded. A correspondent
of the Times asserts that many of the
wounded died for want of assistance, even
water being scarce, and brought from great
distance. AS the ground was thickly cover
ed with dwarf oaks, and the wounded lay
scattered among them. it was work of time
to hunt them out, even with the necessary
force to do so. The dead horses were so
numerous that it was no easy matter to get
even the camp clear of them, and the ground
being hard and stony, it was very difficult
to dig graves for even the dead men, so that
the horses could only be collected and drawn
to distance. The dead soldiers were buried
in great pits, the Russians being kept sepa-
rate, and the French and English together
The English have been ordered hereafter to
fight in daylight in their red coats, as in the
late battle the French mistook their great
coats for those of the Russians, and fired on
them.

BATTLE OF INKERMANN.-The official ac-
counts OF the battle of Inkermann are as
follows: In this tremendous conflict, ac-
coEding to Lord Raglan, there were only g.
600 British and 5000 French troops engaged,
and yet they beat back and defeated, in the
estimation of the same authority, 10000
Russians-the enemys loss being nearly s.
600 killed and 10000 wounded. Lord Rag
Ian had seen in his early days much service
in the great Peninsular campaigns; but in
describing this terrific engagement he makes
this forcible remark, which reveals the terri
Bile nature of the carnage-"I never before
witnessed such scene as the field present
ed.' The Russian and official statement
admits that az officers and 1869 privates
were killed-total BOIL. Their wounded.
they say, were 206 officers and 5,70l soldiers

the wounded, which had caused explana-

LORD RAGLAN.-When the announcement
was made that Lord Raglan was appointed to
the command of the British land forces des-
tined for the Turco-Russian war. it struck
men, familiar with the names of public men
of England, with surprise
1t appears that the individual named, has
been known as Lord Fitzroy Somerset. He
has been for long time, high in command
in the army, and enjoyed distinguished
position in India, and was recently second
in command in the British army. He is 70
years of age, and great-uncle to the present
Duke of Beaufort. He must have been quite
recently created peer. His title is derived
from castle Raglan. an ancient feudal castle
in Wales. His family like the collateral re-
lations of other noble families, are of course
quartered on the public. 1t is of his broth
er Lord Charles Somerset, that the following
anecdote is told.
"He was Governor of the Cape of Good
Hope, and was minus large amount in the
government chest He returned to England
on the plea of ill health, and at the same
time when his defalcations were not gener-

him to relinquish the Governorship, he re-

AMERICAN SETTLERS IN PALEsTINE.--About
two years ago eight American christians con-
ceived and carried out the novel idea OF
planting an American colony in the Holy
Land. They first located near Jerusalem, but
subsequently removed to place near Joppa,
in the Plains of Sharon. Here they devoted
themselves to the arts of agriculture and to
the cultivation of friendly relations with the
Arabs The New York Sun says they pro-
cured American implements from that city,
and adds:
The emigrants, in their letters home, give
the most glowing and attractive descrip-
tions of the fertility of the soil. They are
able to raise three crops in the year-two in
summer, by means of irrigation, and one in
winter, when they have the aid of the win
ter rains. The crops grow luxuriantly, and
yield more abundantly than in the United
States; and nearly every kind of vegetable,
fruit or grain raised in this country can be
procured in Palestine" ."aa aa3i ,s"o
