SIR: A series of fexperiments 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 lmpor-
tant subject to the Bureaus of Yards and Docks at
Washington, and shall send with it 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 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

REAL ESTATE AT WAsmNGToN--An Incident.
A Washington correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune writes to that paper as follows:
have been astonished at the comparatively
low price of property in Washington. There
are very few business lots that would command
800 per foot front, while the most charming
residence property, fronting on the Capitol
Parks, can be obtained from $40 to $50. Lots,
fronting the Patent Office Block--the largest
and most beautiful building in Amerlca--or
convenient to the Treasury, War and Navy
buildings are still cheaper, ranging from SiV
to $50 per foot front. There are various eau
ses for this,--the almost complete absence OF
business during the recess Of Congress, and
danger of the removal Of the Capitol being the
principal ones. 90
My attention was called to az old gentleman,
an office holder here, in the street to-day,of
whom there is story told, so amusing that
cannot refrain from giving it to the readers OF
the Tribune: XIII. 81 rrt 300.
Major w., some twenty years ago, lived in
North Carolina, and was the only man IN his
section of country who could read The Major
took newspaper--the only one sent to that
part of North Carolina at that time--and his
neghbors for many miles around would gather
at his blacksmith shop every Sunday morning to
hear him read the paper, and thus keep posted
up concerning the news. Whatever the Major
| read was received with confident faith in its
truth, very unlike what is entertained by read
ers of newspapers nowadays. 1t happened,
one morning, that he got his papers mixed--he
had carefully preserved all that he had ever re-
ceived-and instead of getting the latest, picked
up one printed twenty years before. When his
neighbors assembled, the Major read this, in
which was statement that the British, under
Gen. Ross, had burnt Washington and were
marching upon Baltimore; and also procama-
tons calling the people to arms to repel the i'll
vaders. 1t created the widest excitement, and
Immediately company of so riflemen was form
ed, with the Major at their head, who forthwith
marched for Washington. Their establishment,
on learning that they had been humbugged, may
well be conceived. Major w., was deeply cha
grined, and never went back to North Carolina,
and Gen. Jackson was pleased with the alac-
rity with which he responded to what seemed
his country's call, that he gave him good Of
flee, which he has held ever since. 1t is also
said that the North Carolina volunteers never
again had anything to do with newspapers, and
the Major did not divulge to them the real facts
of the case.

RICH BUT DECIDEDLY EXPENsIvE.--IUO dol
lars per day and roast beef--The Milwaukee
Free Democrat furnishes the following account
of militia practice under the Fugitive slave law,
in the case of Glover, who was rescued from
the Jail of that place, which is worth perusal.
4" 1t appears that on the day of the rescue of
Glover, Deputy Marshal Cotton called on the
Commandments Of the Military companies to call
out their troops, but they declined to obey such
a requisition without the proper authority. He
then called on Gen. McNIanman, requiring him
TO call out the troops under his command. He
said his captains were military men and would
not net unless the provisions of law were strict
ly complied with, and unless some authority
would guaranty that the troops should be paid.
Finally, the U. S. Attorney Sharpstein, after due
consideration, certified that, in his opinion, Un-
Gle Sam would be bound to pay. Accordingly
the necessary requisition was made, and, on the
order of Deputy Cotton, two companies, com.
prising IL l men, were stationed at the Armory,
and required to remain there till further Or
ders.
Con Tuesday the Commandant waited on
the Deputy, to know how much longer the
troops should remain at the Armory The De-
putty Marshal, in great surprise, replied You
havn't kept the troops at the Armory all this
while have you!
"Certainly. You gave directions to keep
them there till further ORDERS"
Uncle Sans agents were now in a quandary.
One hundred and eleven troops had been watch
ing for four days to prevent the escape of Clio.
yer, though Glover had made his exit from Mil.
waukee three days previous. What was to be
done? The troops would not disband without
their pay, and after some quibblng as to wheth-
er the Commandant sho'ld receipt for the troops,
or the troops receipt individually for themselves,
it was finally agreed that the latter course
should be pursued, and the Marshal had to pay
the eight dollars head, or eight hundred and
eighty-eigM dollars, for watching the Armory to
prevent the escape of Glover from jail, three
days after Glorer had left for Canada

The Gadsden treaty was rejected in Execu-

The Sloo amendment was lost by two votes.
Much speculation exists as to the effect of its
rejection.
1t is intimated by the President and certain
members of the cabinet while the treaty was
under discussion, that the refusal Of the Senate
to ratfy it would BIZ followed with immediate
war with Mexico, the President considering him

This ultimatum was considered an attempt
to intimidate Senators, and those best informed
here say that the President will appoint another

plate replacing part of the skull. He wears on

THE GRAND RIVER TIMES
f GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN:
WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL &c, 1854.

EASTERN AFFAIRs.-The recent news from
Europe is of the most exciting character. Al
ter a peace of nearly forty years duration the
three most powerful nations of the old world
are involved in a struggle, the end of which the
most sagacious can not foresee. On the Goth
ut., a convention between England, France and
Turkey was signed embracing five articles, ac-
cording to one of which England and France
engage to support Turkey, by force of arms,
until the conclusion of peace that shall secure
the independence and integrity Of the Sultan's
domnons. On the 28th war was formally
proclaimed by England. In the mean time vast
warlike preparations have been going forward,
and the campaign seems to have opened in earn
est A new levy of $4,000 men had been or
dercd by France. The British land force was
to be greatly augmented, and the Baltic fleet
under Sir Charles Napier, already consisting of
% ships, carrying 1852 guns and $4,000 men,
was to be increased. Sir Charles Napier had
been ordered to commence hostil.ies, and the
Russians were making vigorous preparations
to resist his fleet in the Baltic. From the seat
of war the tenor of the latest news is unfavor-
able to the Turks. They had been expelled
from every port on the left bank of the Danube
except Kalafat, and the Russians to the number
of $4,000 had crossed over and occupied the
Turkish side of the river. From the dispatches
of Omer Pasha it seems that this movement
on the part of the Russians was not unexpected,
and that he considered that it would be of great
service to his own plan of operations. Impor-
tant events will, therefore, in all probability,
soon transprc, and the news from that quarter
as well as from the Baltic will be awaited with
intense interest.

DEMAND FOR LUMBER IN CHICAGo.-There new
er was such demand for lumber for building
purposes in the city as there is at the various
lumber yards at present. The merchants can
hardly supply this unusual demand for this ar
tcle. They are kept hard at work turning out
the boards however. AS might be expected the
prices of lumber are high. The stocks have not
yet been received from the other side. Should
we have fine weather however, the yards will be
repienished in few days. and our merchants
thus enabled TO supply every demand upon
them.
Atpresent the great demand, as we have sta
ted, is for building purposes in the city. large
number of contracts to build have been made, so
much so that boss carpenters refuse 10 take any
more, and their foremen and hands are conse
quently in some instances solicited to take con-
tracts. This will be great season in this city
for carpenters and masons and we rojoice at it ,
for it will tend to bring down the present en-
ormous rents, which have become crying
evil
We trust that few months will see largo
addition TO the number of buildings in our city

itor in the coasting trade, but inasmuch as he
seems cut for the business, has had many years
experience therein, and keeps prices even below
opposition rates, none will regret the monopoly
which he now enjoys.
