NINTH VOLUME OF THE
WASHINGTON SEMI-WEEKLY NEWS,


Devoted 10 City AGapys, Education, Literature,
oud General Intelligence.
TIME Ninth Volume Of this Paper being
about 10 be commenced, the proprietor and
editor, after making his grateful Acknowledgements
for the steady support which he has received dur
inc the last eight wears, respectfully solicts a
continuance OF the same and such additional s1tp-
poyf as will enable him TO continue his paper, as
an indepen ndent journal, and in the support OF
those conservative and constitutional principles
which were involved in the late municipal cleo
tion and which il is his fixed purpose TO maintain,
40 long as he is connected with this or any other
public journal On his future course the editor
deems IL unnecessary 10 dilate. Suffice II to say,
that while the original plan Of his paper will be
duly carried out, the editor will also feel himself
hound bv the convictions of duty and propriety TO
maintain the constitutional rights Oh every native
and adopted citizen, and TO oppose every secret
organization that is founded on proscriptive and
exclusive basis. What he intends to do in this
respect may be Judged of 10y what he has already
written and published in the columns Of this jour
nal To his friends, and the friends of civil and
religious liberty he respectfully appeals for ade-
quate encouragement.
The Semi Weekly News will shortly appear in
an improved dress.

To c. e. Detnold, President ~, j. Zinc Co., ~ y.
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
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 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 II complete Sc
ries of specimens OF wood anG metal plates which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
paratons, and then exposed alike y an entire
season in salt water, opposite this Ivy yard all
of which illustrates in the moststr. -. manner,
the invaluable qualities and decideO Up eriority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all, er kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes
You are at liberty to give full puo. city to the
above stated facts, which of too much impor
tance 10 be kept from the naval and commercial
world. am, respectfully, your o6edlemi servant

Horse Thieves Arrested.

The Jefferson Inquirer of the 29th ,ilt.,
says: "farshal Meredith assisted by sew
eral citizens, on Sunday last arrested two
horse thieves. It seems from dispatch
the Marshal received, that they had stolen
the horses from Messrs Claggett and Hlrst,
living in Cooper county, about three miles
west Of High Hill P. o. The horses were
stolen on Saturday night and ridden to
this place, where the thieves tried to sell
them, and succeeded in striking bargain,
but as soon as the purchaser got possession
Of the horses, he told them that he would
deposite the money and horses with Mr..
McCarty, and as soon as they made title
to the stock they could get the money. In
few hours the Marshal received the dis
patch, and arrested them after chasing one
of them into the river. The names Of the
thieves are John Phillips, who says he is
from St. Clair county, The other says his
nameis Joseph Lloyd, and that his relatives
live near Glasgow. Sheriff Gunsaullus left
on Monday morning with them for Cooper
county,"

is cheering, and that all signs betoken a
magnificent triumph in November, The
