n the manufacture of Yellow Metal Sheathing it
IL has been the universal practice hitherto, ii still
IS with other manufacturers. to the Sheets
after all rolling is done in acid bath. The effect
sought and obtained, by this process is to give the
metal the fine yellow color to which it its dis
tinctive name.
But this effect is of necessity attended by results
injurious to the metal. The hard and highly polish
ed surface, formed the sheets by successive heat
ing and cooling and the action OF the rolls, is re-
moved, and surface left in its stead-bright indeed
butrough. pimpled and unequally coroded, and con-
siderably softer Than the surface removed.
No one can doubt that any given sheet of sheath
ing metal must be better with hard, smooth sur
face than with a softer and rougher surface.
This improvement in the art of sheathing ships has
been secured by Letters Patent OF the United States
to the New Bedford Copper Company.
The composition of this metal is exactly the same
as that OF the yellow Muntz metal the sole differ
ence being in the surface finish. 1t is believed that
this is very important and will add months to the
wear of the metal.
The Bronze Metal is sold at the same price as yell
low Metal.

Correspondence Of the Free Press.1
FROM MONTPELIER.
MONTPELIER, Oct. l9th, 1866.

MONTPELIER, Oct. 10Th, 1866.
Dear Free Pres:
The Legislature has adjourned, nomlnally
from Saturday to Monday afternoon but
actually from Friday afternoon till Tuesday
morning. Perhaps the members think they
have earned this vacation by the promptncss
with which they have despatched business
thus far and perhaps they have. But how
would it do for once, for them to do all their
business as promptly as Is consistent with
safe legislation 10 occupy thus all the time
for which they take the ray Of the State /;
and then as promptly to adjourn and 20 home?
The new Treasurer Of the State takcsposscs-
sion Of the Office to day. The record of the
retiring Treasurer, Hon. JONI B. PAGE. is
omphatically an honorable one. The increase
Of busirois fnd responsibility IN the Office,
consequent on the outbreak # the war, was
OF course enormous, and tic new labOrs and
responsibilities were met by Mr.. Page in
manner equally TO bis credit and to the ad-
vantage Of the State The whole business
Of the raising Of needed funds, of pay
m-nt Of past obligations, Of the com
! heated details of the State pay and State
,.l for soldiers families, ana Of the War
expenses generally. has BEEN managed with
laiJhic!uoss, method, accuracy and prompt
ness showing very high fnaaeiil ability
An expenditure Of ten millions for the war
has been made with total increase Of the
State debt Of bat $1,000, 600. Every obi
cation has been met when it became due,
the State credit has been kept high As the
highest, and Mr.. John B. hands over the
oii'c to Mr. John 4. Page, with every clearly
ri-htlul clam paid, and every dollar ac-
counted for.
For those who are awaI, what faithful
eAhibi, Of the finances Of some of the States,
o! some Of the New England States even,
would disclose, Of straits for money, large
floating debt, protests Of State paper in the
banks and numerous suspended claims, the
contrast Is a creditabie one 10 our State and
to the managers Of its finances
The probable settlement Of the Congress
81 nal contest in the Third district, has
created no h;;ls talk here, and Is, think,
very gratifying to all except Mr.. Baxter's
partizans.
Yours,

That this last statement is mainly tue,
We do not doubt. There seems to have been

more. Col. F. G. Butterfeld, who has just
