u. S. NAVY YARD, GosPoRT, VA,
January 20, 1854.
To C. E. Detn,old, President ~. J. Zine Co., ~ Y.
SIR: 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, manulacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves 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 and shall send with it complete Sc
res of specimens of wood anG ..etal 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 al liberty 10 give full publicity 10 the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor
lance TO be kept from the naval and commercial
world. l am, respectfully, your obedient servant,
JAMES JARVIS,
Inspector U. s. Navy Yard, Gosport, Va

a Preacher in a Fix.
Philadelphia July %, 1854.

The editor of the St. Louis Christian
Advocate, in a recent issue, relates the
following incident:
1t was late Saturday night ere our friend
had completed his manuscript discourse for
the ensuing day. The family had long
since retired, and all about the house, him
self excepted, sound asleep. The whist
ling of the cold wind, the occasional rattle
over the hard paved street, of carriage
whose passengers had been somewhere
keeping late hours, and the whack of the
watchman's club, were about the only
sounds to be heard, when our faithful man
wrote the last sentence of his "Sunday
mornings sermon" Meditating upon a
preachers "hard lot," he then retired to
rest, where he fondly hoped to quiet the
storm which hard study or stimulating eff
fccts Of tobacco had raised in his nervous
system.
1t was late next day when he again en-
tered his study, to take one more look at
his manuscript before going to church.
But, alas, some one of those changes which
effect all things sublunary, had been made
His manuscript, with which he had taken
so much pains, was non est inventus.-
Where could it be? 1t had been carefully
prepared from "Beloved brethren" to the
last amen. Every 1 had been dotted, and
every crossed, all completed and left there
upon the table on the preceding night
Where could it be? "Nor wife, nor chill
dren" could tell and, alack, the bells be-
gan to ring! Call up Biddy, the house.

the Green Isle as one could wish to see.

determined and thorough evangelization
If she continues much longer, under her
present political and ecclesiastical govern
ing powers, to save her from the repetition
Of that dreadful catastrophe Give the
gospel to France and it would change her
literature; licentiousness would not find
market, and her whole host of vile fiction
mongers would be universally discarded.
Shall we then submit our national litera-
ture to all these influences? Will we not
rather cultivate those principles which
have contributed to give our own theologi-
ans, historians, and poets even an enviabIe
European reputation. Are we not all
proud of the names of Edwards, Davies,
Dwight, Buckminster and Channing--men
reared under the wholesome influences of
Puritanic thought and feeling, all of whom
were deeply in love with our republican
principles? This race of Titans is not yet
extinct, and we look forward in the hope
that others will reap rich rewards in the
learning of kindred consecrated themes
We have already many poets of whom any
nation might be proud, whilst in the de-
partment of the arts, the names of West,
Aston, Greenough and Powers, have gain
ed for. us acknowledged pre-eminence.-
But our own success is only an illustration
of the results which accompany the cult
vation of science under any Protestant
government; and making all due allow
ance for our Saxon energy, other nations
show similar results. Professionalism and
general intelligence are synonymous, and
the apparent contrast in this respect shows
the legitimate product of each system.
In all Italy there is no general system
of education. None of her swarming beg
gars can read such is the fact as to the
tier of people above the beggars. The
merest fraction of the people know how to
read. Kirwan says, in Naples "there is
college for the sons of the aristocracy,
whose students wear military uniform; ;
there are schools where, at great expen'e,
the children of the wealthy may be educa-
ted but nothing is done for the instruc-
ton of the people. There are neither
"godless" Or godly schools there. Some
how Or other, priests and ignorance are al
ways found together"
We owe all we have, as a nation under
God, to the influence of the Bible. 1t is
the bulwark of our education and freedom;
it is not true that Catholic schools have
any superior advantages, that they are
generally under better government, or
have higher standard of education In
stances might be given to show satisfacto-
rily the utter fallacy of all these preten-
sions. As Protestants and Americans we
can have no good reason to distrust the
present system Of education, and surely
none why we should jeopardize the real
interests of our children by sending them
to Catholics schools. If we wish to perpet-
uate these great national and religious
privileges, let us early instil into the minds
of our children love for those principles
under whose blessed influence we have
grown to be great people, and through
which we may yet become blessing to the
world

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT ANOTHER AP-
rEAL-1he Board OF Managers OF the Washing
ton National Monument Society have published
sn address 10 the people of the United States,
asking Tor funds to assist in the work now in
progress on the banks of the Potomac. Seven
years OF time, and two hundred aud thirty
Thousand dollars in money, have ALREADY been
consumed in this work. and 1t is not yet one
third completed. A further sum of one million
OF dollars is required. Thus stands the matter
at he present time. The society's affairs have
been conducted in very slow way heretofore
The managers have been quite as dilatory as
the gentlemen having charge of the erection of
the Bunker Hill Monument They required
seventeen years to build q plain granite shaft,
which was no great affair after sll The people
get Disguised with such mism ana cement, and it
is not singular that they hesitate about putting
their hands into their pockets to sustain it.
Give them guarantee that the monument will
be finished and the money win soon be forth
coming Young America has now voice ia
the councils Of the Washington Society," new
Board Of Managers was elected for the current
year, in February last, aud the people expect
something from them. With an entirely ne
set of executive officers, the society should show
some signs Of life.
