To c.. E. Dstuloid Preside,a ~. J. Ztne Cos ~ \.
SIR A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years
upon all the various paints and artificial prepare
lions for the preservation of timber, have led me
10 the important discovery that the White Zine
Paint, manufactured by the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as perfect protection against the
ravages ofthe 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 il complete Sc
res of specimens of wood anG 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 10 give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor-
tance 10 be kept from the naval and commercial
world. ! am, respectfully, your obedent servant

NORTHERN MEXICO,

Our correspondent in Northern Mexico com
nunicates some highly interesting intelligence
with regard 70 the progress Of the Revolution IN
that country and the designs. of the Revolution
ists. 1t seems that they are on the eve of a
decisive battle with Gen. Vol, the commander
under Santa Anna at Matamoros. Oar coz
respondent is confident that they must carry the
day, and the feet tnat Vol has sent his valua-
bles across the river to Texas would seem TO
indicate thst he also expects TO be beaten. la
case Of success in this conflict the Revolutionary
party will at once get possession of the frontier
Custom HOUses, which Will enable them to
raise the money necessary to carry out their
schemes and secure their position against any
attempt on the part of Santa Anna to recon
quer them. They propose to establish fedora
ton Of the three Northern States OF Tamaulipas,
Ceahuila, and Nuevo Leon; bat why they thus
limit their plan does not appear. San Luis
Potosi and part Of Zacatecas and Durango also
lie on this side of the Sierra Madre, and 10 pre-
ylous copsprecies Of this sort the practice has
been to include them in the proposed new ma
ton. Probably however their inhabitants lack
hat confidence in Caryajsl aad his coiR peers
which would incline them to enIs. in the
pre.ent enterprise. 1t seems that these gentle.
men are great admirers Of American instilu-
tions, whether of Slavery among the rest our
correspondent. Omits TO state. at any rate the
establishment of the Republic Of the Sierra
Madre cen only be regarded as ceremony pre-
liminary to application for admission, or rather
this Interior necessity which renders the move
ments there particularly important to the peo'
pie of this country. Our next adyices from that
quarter will inform Us whether Carvsjal or VOL
is triumphant.
