SIR: A series Of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years,
upon ali the various paints and artificial Prepara-
tions for the preservation of timber, have led me
10 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 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 a complete Sc
res of specimens Of wood anG metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
paratons, 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 obedent servant,

THE ELECTION ONCE MORE
TO THE POLLS.

Ata meeting of the pro-slayery men Of
this District, held on Monday last, In pur-
suance of previous netice, Thomas c..
Hughes was called to the Chair, and Jas.
NJ. Lyle was appointed Secretary.
The object Of the meeting having been
explained by r. r. Rees, it was moved
and unanimously confirmed that COM
mittee of three be appointed to draft
resolutions expressive of the sense of the
meeting.
The following gentlemen were appoint
ed as committee, r. r. Rees, Dr.sJ II.
Day and J. M. Alexander, who after a
short absence, reported the following reso-
buttons, which were, on motion of H.
Rives Pollard, adopted without a dissent
ing voice.
Whereas the Governor of this Territory
just upon the eve of his departure for the
East issued his Proclamation calling an
election for three members of the House
of Representatives from this, the Leaven-
worth District, on the 22d day of this
month, and whereas there has been here
tofore elected three members from this dis
trict, therefore.
ResoLued, That while we do not recog-
nize any right in the Governor to set aside
the election heretofore held, deeming it a
right inherent in all Legislative bodies to
judge of the qualifications of their own
members, and that while we deem the
proclamation of the Governor nothing
more than mere tom-foolery, we are never
theless willing to meet and battle the ene-
my at every point, and on every ground,
and as often as the issues may be present.
ed; and while we by no means concede
that the result of such election would in
any way affect the right of members al
ready elected to their seats, yet we are re-
solved to rebuke the Governor and his
abolition abcttors by casting again our suf-
frages for the members already elected,
and by looming up for them a majolity
that shall teach them in all after time not
to attempt to tire out western men.
ResolUed, That we urge all true pro-
slavery men to be at the polls on Tuesday
the 22d inst, and let no obsta cles prevent
them, and let no impression go abroad that
we have been, and can be beat, whether
upon false or real issue.
On motion of R. R. Rees, the meeting
adjourned to meet again on. Tuesday the
22d.
