THE GULF STRFAM.

The present warm weather has evoked a discussion
on the Gulf Stream, which institution is called upon
to prove that it exists. Lieutenant Maury is for the
time disregarded, and Mr. Findlay has publicly
declared at the Geographical Society, that that
eminent " observer" has stuffed the world with a lot
of bosh. The Lieutenant, however, is not without
defenders, and Mr. Findlay will have to answer a lot
of objections before his new theory will be generally
received. It is an ascertained fact—or supposed to
be—that across the Pacific a stream of water—a
kind of river in the sea—is continually running ;
that the thermometer shews this current to be of a-
higher heat than the surrounding waters, and that
below it the water is of the usual temperature. The
question is whether this water washing our shores
increases the temperature of the land. It is at pre-
sent a mere question of Maury versus Findlay, and
while it remains so most non-professional people will
defer judgment.

Porte sent a commission to .tsagaaa to inquire into tne
disputed points and definitely settle the boundary ques-
tion. This commission did its work well for some time,
but it is now announced that it has broken down alto-
gether, and hence the quarrel. On what special point the
difference has arisen is not yet clear. Equally difficult is
it to decide which party is in the right ; but it is to be
hoped that the Conference will have a reflective influence,
and prevent any serious issue. As the Shah of Persia
is now little more than a Russian satrap, a war of this
kind might probably affect English interests in the East.

disappear. I see the New York Times notices the
pleasure Grant expressed from his reception at Bal-
timore, particularly with the manner in which many
of those heretofore regarded as sympathisers with the
rebellion put their political differences out of sight
and mingled in the best spirit with their most Radi-
cal opponents. The occasion is believed to have
done much toward removing the intense asperity of
feeling that has existed in that city.
The French Transatlantic Cable Company allege
that the resolution referred to the Committee on
Foreign relations requiring the consent of Congress
to the landing of a foreign sub-marine cable is in
the interest of the Newfoundland and Valentia
line, and ask to be heard in the Senate by counsel.
Dr. Mudd and Mr. Sprangler are likely to be par-
doned by the President. An amusing instance was
furnished to the Joint Committee on Ordnance to-
day of the jealousy with which inventors regard
each other's creations in their own line. How does
your Whitworth and Armstrong pull together, as
I propose to show what sort of a team our Dahieren
and Rodman make. Rodman has just been exa-
mined by this Committee, and freely stated that
the Dahlgren gun was worthless. Admiral Dahlgren
was examined to-day, and mournfully testified to
the utter failure of the Rodman gun ! Both are
scientific officers, but I think the Committee might
look elsewhere for information on artillery. General
Ingalls considers that the Ordnance and Artillery
should be merged, and the Engineer Corps
perform the duties of Coast Survey. This offi-
cer was chief quartermaster of the Army of
the Potomae, and gave his opinions to the Mili-
tary Committee of the House. He thinks the
quartermaster, paymaster, and commissary depart-
ments should make one bureau, with a third of the
present employes. General Rollins is to be examined,
and it is supposed he will speak Grant's views;
General Thomas's opinion also will be taken.
Robert J. Walker came voluntarily before the
uorknnitfen nn Public expenditure to state his con-
tempt for the paragraph circulating about him and
his Alaska fee. Ile cared nothing, but others urged
hiar to this action. Martin had called on him in
a vain attempt to levy black mail, and a self-styled
newspaper correspondent had communicated to his
associate counsel that he was able to control the
press and many members of Congress. Walker in-
dignantly sent him word that he had no such money,
and if he had he would not thus use it, on which
the correspondent became riled and threatened to
kill the bill and call on Walker, but this honourable
Robert said if he came to his office be would kick
him out. Why, while giving all the voluntary
testimony, did he not say something about the
Alaska fee?

MY Adventures Afloat in the Sumter and Alabama.
By Admiral Raphael Semmes.

After some stay at the Cape the Alabama stretched
away into the Indian Seas, carrying dismay among
the islands of the Chinese archipelago and on the
coasts of India. Singapore became blockaded with
American vessels, and the bay of Bengal illuminated
with their bnrning hulks, and having effected as much
mischief as possible, she commenced her homeward
voyage. On the 2d of May the cruiser recrossed the
Equator, but not what she had been ; " she was
like the wearied fox-hound limping back after a
long chase, foot sore, and longing for quiet and
repose. Her commander, like herself, was well-nigh
worn down. Vigils by night and by day, the
storm and the drenching rain, the frequent and
rapid change of climate, now freezing, now melt-
ing, or broiling, and the constant excitement of the
chase and capture, had laid in the three years of
war he had been afloat a load of a dozen years on
his shoulders. The shadows of a sorrowful future,
too, began to rest upon his spirit. The last batch
of newspapers captured were full of disasters.
Might it not be that, after all our trials and sacri-
fices, the cause for which we were struggling would
be lost ? Might not our Federal system of govern-
ment be destroyed, and State independence become
a phrase ; the glorious fabric of our American
liberty sinking, as so many others had done before
it, un ler a new invasion of Brennuses and Attilas ?
The (bought was bard to bear." On the 10th June
the Lizard was made, and next day the Alabama
let go her anchor in Cherbourg, the last port she
was destined to enter. The Kearsarge arrived from
Flushing on the 14th June, and after making an
unsuccessful application for the prisoners landed
from the Alabama took her station off the port.
Admiral Semmes sent to inform Captain Winslow
that he would engage him if he waited till he had
coaled. The crew of the Alabama were not only
willing, but anxious for the combat. "The stories,"
says S.numes, " that ran the round of the Federal
papers at the time, that my crew was composed
mainly of trained gunners from the British prac
tice ship Excellent were certainly without foun-
dation. I had on board some half-dozen British
seamen, who had served in ships of war in for-
mer years, but they were in no respect supe-
rior to the rest of the crew. As for the two
ships, though the enemy was superior to me both
in size, stanchness of construction, and arma-
ment, they were of force so nearly equal, that
I cannot be charged with rashness in having of-
fered battle." The Kearsarge mounted seven gnus :
two 11-inch Dahlgrens, four 32-pounders, and a
rifled 28-pounder. The superiority of the United
States man-of-war lay in her two Dahlgrens, which
enabled her, though mounting one gun less than the
Alabama, to throw a heavier broadside. The for-
mer had a crew of 162 all told, the latter 149. The
French frigate Couronne accompanied the Alabama
out of port to prevent French waters from being vio-
lated. It was a fine Sunday, the heights were crowded
with anxious spectators—many from Paris, and seve-
ral boats came out, among them an English steam-
yacht, the Deerhound. The Kearsarge lay about six
or seven miles off. When under-weigh and ready for
action, Semmes called his crew aft and addressed them
in a few animated words, which were received with a
stern silence. On nearing to within a mile and a
half the Kearsarge suddenly wheeled, presenting the
starboard battery, and heading in shore. The Ala-
bama then opened with solid shot, the distance being
about a mile. Both ships came on under a press cf
steam, and to prevent their passing ea,ch other too
rapidly they moved round in a circle, the distance
across ranging from one-half to three-quarters of a
mile. When within shell range the Alabama used
that Proion.tile. but nhqprrincs that filoy had Fifth.
effect on the Kearsarge Semmes returned to solid
shot, alternating, however, with shell. In ten mi-
nutes, the spanker-gaff being shot away the Confe-
derate flag came down by the run, but it was re-
placed at the mizzen-mast head. The shells of the
Kearsarge began soon to tell fatally, killing men and
smashing in the sides of the Alabama as they ex-
ploded. After an hour and ten minutes she was in
a sinking state, and Semmes made a desperate
effort to drive his vessel upon the French coast with
both steam and sail, but she filled so rapidly that
the fires were extinguished, when he hauled down
his colours, and sent a boat to inform the Kearsarge
of his condition. During the twenty minutes which
remained every exertion was made in the Alabama
to save the wounded and such boys as were unable
to swim in the only boats not destroyed by the
enemy's shot, the quarter boats. Then the crew,
as directed, jumped overboard, and the Alabama
went do Nn stern foremost. At first no movement was
made in the Kearsarge, but when the Alabama sunk
one boat was sent out, then another, but the Dee--
hound steamed into the midst of the drowning men
and saved the captain and forty of his crew. Nine
of them were killed in the action, twenty-one were
wounded, and ten were drowned. The Confederate
Admiral brings two charges against the Kcarsage.
That she violated all the rules of chivalry, as she
accepted and fought a single combat, deceiving her
enemy into the belief that both were woolen ships
and fought on equal terms, while beneath the dis-
guise of a thin planking the liearsarge was in reality
iron-clad. Her cables had been fixed perpendicu-
larly from the rail to the water's edge, thus coat-
ing the outside amidship on both sides. The other
charge is that she not only fired five shots after the
Alabama had struck, but she left the men to drown,
although she could easily have saved them, being but
some 400 yard§ off when the vessel sank and Sena-

mes draws a contrast between this fight in day-light
and his action with the Hatteras at night, when he
saved all the crew of the vessel he sank. The author,
however, sneeringly adds, that he acquitted Commo-
dore Winslow of any intention of permitting the
men to drown, or even of gross negligence, which
would be almost as criminal. "It was his judgment
which was in fault." This relieves us from the dis-
cussion of the facts whether the sailors were left to
perish, as be thus acquits Commodore 'Winslow of
intentional wrong. As a rule Admiral Semmes gives
a true version ; therefore it is not his facts, but his
fancies, which we call in question. Dropping, then,
the latter charge, we may observe with reference to
the former that the Kearsarge had been sent to the
English Channel to destroy a vessel its Govern-
ment regarded as little better than a pirate. That
cruiser was known to be well built, well fittei,
aimed and manned, and commanded by a brave
and skilful officer. It was therefore the business
of the captain of the Kearsarge to lose no op-
portunity of protecting his ship and qualifying
her for an encounter with so formidable an ad-
versary. Admiral Semmes insinuates that the
boarding which covered the iron cables was in-
tended to disguise the fact that the vessel was,
in a measure, ironclad. Bac a sailor will see a
dozen reasons why such boarding should be used—
for sightliness, cleanliness, for speed, and the better
security of the fixing; the wash of the waves against
the iron chains could not fail to retard speed, un-
less thus cased. Semmes used all sorts of devices
to deceive the vessels he captured, and his answer
when the Hatteras hailed, even after there was any
necessity for such disguise, was an untruth. Yet
he "howls a hurricane" over the chivalry of the
Yankee who allowed him to leave the protection of
Cherbourg to pit his wooden ship against an iron-
clad. Winslow ought, he thinks, either to have
stripped off his chain armour, or to have told him
he wore such a coat. The sense of this is some-
thinglike his insisting upon a frigate, which had over-
hauled him, casting away her strength in excess of
his, that he might have the opportunity of fighting
on equal terms; or as if the captain of the Ariel had
requested him, when captured, to put half the Ala-
bama guns into her, that they might have a fair fight.
The charge is, in fact, supremely ridiculous ; the
two vessels were not unfairly matched, the Kear-
surge being a shade the stronger, but this strength
the skill and foresight of Winslow had increased by
means equally open to Semmes. As usual in the
tale of the vanquished, (the coat of mail notwith-
standing,) but for a trivial accident, Semmes would
have sunk the Kearsarge in thirty minutes, as he had
lodged a shell in her sternposts which did not ex-
plode. Then he comes out roundly in abuse of the
chief Vandal, W. 11. Seward ; and at last settles
down into a hearty good cry over his ship, sobbing
"No one but a seaman can realize the blow." It
does not occur to him that he furnished himself
with many opportunities of seeing it realized in
other skippers. Finally, however, he bethinks him
" that she is safe from the polluting touch of the
hated Yankee," and he dries his eyes and is com-
forted. But while he was whining " great rejoic-
ing was had in Yankeedom when it was known that
the Alabama had been beaten. Shouts of triumph
rent the air, and bonfires lighted every hill. But
along with the rejoicing there went up a howl of
disappointed rage that I bad escaped being made a
prisoner." Here, then, was another source of com-
fort. It was natural that, after this gallant fight,
Semmes should be kindly received in England, as
was the Kearsarge. It was an action almost within
sight of the island, which must appeal to the heart
of a►naval people, but it is passing strange that a
sister of the Prime Minister, a Miss Gladstone, should
be one of the earliest in the field with a long letter
of sympathy, appeals to noble influences, and offers
of aid. Her brother thought Mr. Davis had made
a nation, and perhaps she thought she had caught
a lion and a hero. The Sumter had been run into
Gibraltar and so closely blockaded that she had been
sold, and as a cattle ship was afterwards lost in the
North Sea. Semmes having thus got rid of his
two vessels thought of retiring, but he could not
keep away from action—if not at sea, at least on
shore ; so, reckless of danger, he went back to the
Confederate States, though .6 the very mention of
my name had as yet some such effect upon the
Yankee Government as the shaking of a red flag
has before the blood-shot eyes of an infuriated
bull." After reaching Richmond towards the end
of January, 1865, he was promoted Rear-Admiral,
and appointed to the command of the James River
fleet. What he saw of the country through which
he had passed showed him that the days of his cause
were numbered, and this conviction was written in
the manner of all the leaders with whom he came
into contact. His fleet consisted of three iron-clads
and five wooden gunboats, but he soon found that
the sailors were as much demoralized as the soldiers,
and the latter were deserting in companies. Sher-
man, about this time, was at Columbia, South
Carolina. " The Puritan was at last in the city of
the cavalier. The man of ruder habits and coarser
civilization was in the presence of the more refined
gentleman, whom he had envied and hated for
generations. The ignoble passions of race-hatred
and revenge were gratified, and Massachusetts,
through the agency of a brutal and debauched
soldiery, bad put her foot upon the neck of prostrate
South Carolina ! This was a humiliation indeed.
The coarse man of mills and manufactories had
at last found entrance as a master into the
halls of the South Carolina planter!" The last
days at Richmond and the final collapse of
the Confederacy are fairly and graphically de-
scribed, but the Admiral can never touch on the
North, its leaders, and their motives without de-
scending into abuse. The murder of President Lin-
coln to him looked ".like a just retribution, that he
should be cut off in the midst of the hosannas that
were being shouted in his ears for all the destruc-
tion and ruin he had wrought upon twelve millions
of people." Not bad this, considering that one-
third were the slaves he had emancipated. '6 With-
out any warrant for his conduct he had made a war
of rapine and lust against eleven sovereign States,
whose only provocation had been that they had
made an effort to preserve the liberties which had

been bonded down to them by their fathers. These
States bad not sought war, but peace ; and they had
found at the hands of Abraham Lincoln —destruc-

tion. As a Christian it was my duty to say, Lord !
have mercy upon his soul ; but the devil will surely
take care of his memory." Ile then gives a sketch
of the career of Andrew Johnson, against whom he
evidently entertains the bitterest feelings of dislike.
The light between the President and Congress he
designates as the falling out of thieves, both ac-
tuated by low motives, and regardless of the means
by which they accomplished their objects. Both he
considered equally unconstitutional in the course
pursued, being mere usurpers, and thus his book
elids. Every ship he touched was sunk or burnt,
alike whether under his command, or the vessels of

the enemy with which he came in contact ; and the
destruction of the fleet placed under his com-
mand in the James River was his last act as a
sailor, and fitly heralded the collapse of the Con-
federate Government.

It is a pity that the Spectator should mar a good
article by such blunders as stating Mr. Jenckes to be the
United States Senator from Rhode Island, and of
the bill which has given him such prominence as hav-
ing been introduced into the Senate Chamber. Mr. Jenckes
is the Representative from Rhode Island iu Congress, and
has never sat in the Senate, and the bill was reported to

the House from the Joint Select Committee on Retrench-
ment., May 14, 1868. In the same article the Spectator
alludes to Mr. Welles as Special Revenue Commissioner,
though it is the Secretary of the Navy who thus spells
his name, while the Commissioner of tho Treasury is
David A. Wells.

GRATUITOUS ADVERTISING.

---
The dodges a newspaper has to guard against of
schemers who endeavour to benefit, without cost to
themselves, by its sole trading stock, using its pub-
licity to forward their own objects (and generally
very disreputable objects), would astonish outsiders
if everything were told. On this side we are suffi-
ciently exercised in this way ; but what editors
suffer is " a caution" on the American side. The
high moral-sentiment dodge--the philosophic dodge
—the charity dodge—the suaviter in mode dodge"
the fortiter in re dodge—the patriotic dodge—ill
short, we might run down the whole column in enu-
merating their vaiiety. Some are barefaced in their
impudence ; others so skilfully designed that even
if the editor detects the swindle he cannot fail to
admire the ability displayed. Sometimes an editor
is led on like a donkey with a wisp of hay tinder
his nose ; sometimes he cuts up rusty, as did the
New York Tribune in the following instance:—

lessions in rascality, sends us the following circular: „
