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, manufacturedb by the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as q perfect protection against the
ravages ofthe marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacies, whilst no other paint 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 a complete se-
ries of specimens of fwood 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, yonr obedient servant

Our Kansas Territory correspondent in

to speech he had heard Senator Atchison
make at Leavenworth, Mo-, which the no or.
able speaker uttered with a bottle Of whis-
key at his elbow, and at its close, was SO in
toxicated that he could not walk. We have
conversed with gentleman who heard this
same speech, and he verifies the statement
of our correspondent. He says moreover
the speech was interlarded with oaths and
vuigarity from beginning to end. Ard thi:
man has been held up as model Democrat
ic statesman. He has occupied the position
of President Of the United States Senate
and by the death of one man is possible Pre-.

which arrays itself under the banners o
men of such moral weakness as Atchisor
and mental weakness as Pierce.

CITY OF EVANSVIL,
MONDAY MORNING, ::::::::::::::NOv.
State stock Banks.

The excitement in Evansyi le relative to
gradually subsiding. We notice that sever
al OF our prominent stores advertise to take
the notes of any State Stock Bank, Corners
vile included, and that people generally are
beginning to handle Stock Bank Notes
again. We presume that in few Gays TINS
money will again be circulating freely IN
business circles hereabouts Believing near
ly every one Of these Banks, 1t not all OF
them, are safely secured la their issues, we
think is community should receive some
better evidence for distrust than that afford
ed by the refusal of our banks to take the
notes of some of these institutions, before
they consent TO sacrifice the bills to any
amount, or even refuse to receive them in
ordinary business.
Committees have visited Indianapolis from
several cities, for the purpose of obtaining
Information relative to the securities of these
Stock Banks, and of their real solvency.-
These Committees have reported most EN-
phatically in favor of the entire responsible
ty of the securities, and that they are salts
fed of the safety and solvency of these
Banks.
In view of the attempts being made 10
discredit these Banks outside of Indiana
and originating among those financial ras'
Gals, tie Cincinnati brokers, we think it the
duty Of our people, If satisfied Of the solven
cy OF these Stock security Banks, to DEF enO
them, at least so far as receiving with con-
fidence their notes. There may be few
rotten concerns among these Banks, fol
there is scarcely any State Banking system
but that may be abuse J, yet they should
not condemn the whole system or all othe
Banks under it. We have no thought, how
ever, that the some fifty odd Banks whose
notes are not received by our Evansville
Banks, are Of this worthless kind, nor tina
our Bankers here knoU them to be, or evsr
have grounds for strong suspicion against TIT
tonished that the three Stock Banks Of Ev
ansvllle, have not united in doing what the.
can to support the system under which the
hold their c. arters. They could do this i
no better manner than by receiving on de
posit the notes of every State Stock Ban
which they do not kno,o to be unsafe.

VIM. A. caves, for the Evansville and Bowl
ing Green trade, and left here Saturday af-
ternoon on her first trip up Green River
She was built at Pittsburgh, at a cost OF Sl4-
900. H-r dimensions are as follows: Length
100 feet; % feet beam; feet hold; three

about 800 tons. She is Of very light draught,
and in every particular well adapted to the
trade. Capt. Bard will command her. He
still holds his interest in the Eaves, which
will run in the Evansville, Bowling Green
and Louisville trBde.
Capt. Baird has made proposition to the
Department,to carry weekly mail between
Evansville and Bowling Green for $4,000
per unnum- His proposition is IN the
hands of Mr. Guthrie, who, it is supposed, is
awaiting some action on the part of Evans.
vile. to exhibit her disposition to have such a
mail. We trust some action will be taken
at once by our business inen on this subject.
We need not enumerate to them the advan-
lages to us and to our Business of such a
mail. Capt. Baird is the very man to take
such a contract, and we believe he can get
it without difficulty if our citizens but take
some action on the subject expressive of
their earnest desire for such a mail and TO
be carried in such manner.
We wish the Evansville great success
She bears an excellent name, and one that
would adorn any steamer aaOat.
