A CHILD FLOGGED TO DEATH BY ITS FATHER.--
A preacher, by name Joel Lindsley, residing in
Albion, Orleans county, New York, in Juno last delibe-
rately beat his own child to death because the little fellow
would not repeat certain prayers. The child was, at the
time of the murder, only three years of age. The evidence
given on the trial of Lindsley shows that the crime was
attended with circumstances of the greatest atrocity.
Lindsley beat his child uninterruptedly for two and a half
hours, using a strip of shingle, or thin clapboard, as the
instrument of castigation. Lindsley finally discovered that
the child had been seized with a fit. He laid the little
fellow down, and the mother ran for assistance. The
child died in a few minutes. When examined the
body of the child was found to be literally covered
with bruises and abrasions; the finger nails had been torn
up, and the hands almost pounded to jelly; the soles of the
feet were blistered ; the body was ene gory wound. It
was charged that Lindsley had previously tortured hie
child by roasting its feet with a lamp ; there was no direct
evidence on this point, however, although the juryplaiall
believed the charge well founded. Lindsley is a graduateof
Amherst college, Massachusetts ; he has been known se
a rigid Puritan. The jury found him guilty of man-
slaughter in the second degree—it having been shown that
he was a man of almost ungovernable passions—and he
was sentenced to two years' imprisonment in the peniton-
tiary at Auburn.

THE MILITIA SYSTEM OF AMERICA. —The
Nation writes one of its able articles to prove
that the National Militia of America cannot, for
reasons it enumerates, be made the well-disciplined,
well-appointed, effective force it is popularly repre-
sented to be. The Governor, in his late message,
stated that the National Guard of New York con-
sisted, on the Ist of December, 1866, of 104 regi
ments of infantry, 3 regiments of cavalry, 1 regi-
ment of artillery, 1 battalion of infantry, 2 bat'
talions of artillery, 1 battalion of cavalry, 1
.inde-
pendent battery, 2 light howitzer batteries, and
squadron of cavalry. The Nation declares this
force exists substantially but on paper. That out-
side cities there is neither company nor battalion
drill—that in time of war it is difficult to get militia to
take the field even for a few weeks, and that theplaee'l
of the unable and unwilling are filled by raw re;
cruits. Many members, when ordered, have refused
to go, for, so long as they were not mustered into
the national service, they could not be tried by
United States officers, and they felt secure against
the result of a court-martial, managed by State
officers. It asserts that in case of war the militia
regiments now forming or formed would not be tiie
force relied on, but the volunteer organisations that
would then spring up of themselves. It deprecate
therefore the large sums which of late have been apPr°-
priated to this object, and the bill now introduced
into Congress, to add the costly, cumbrous, and
utterly inoperative machinery of the national ia
system, to the legitimate functions of the War
Department.

portion of the resources of Portsmouth yard for the
past six months, but has now for some days been
understood to be ready for service, is ordered for
temporary commission this morning for troop service
to Ireland if required. She, however, has no stores
on board, and yesterday when it was considered very
probable that her orders might be to immediately
embark the Marines Light Infantry detachment and
start at once with it for (1 aeenstown it was dis-
covered, of course, that the dockyard staff had not
yet done with the ship. A swarm of men were set
to work upon her, laying down oilcloth on her
saloon and cabin floors, and making other altera-
tions of her interior equipment, which should, as a
matter of ordinary precaution, have been done drys
ago. The Bellerophon frigate, at present in Ports-
mouth harbour, is available and ready to reinforce
the fleet off the Irish coast if required.
The departmental officers at Woolwich, whose
duties at the approach of the new financial year are
naturally heavy, in preparing and auditing the ac-
counts and making arrangements for tho Estimates
required for the ensuing season, are more than usu-
ally engaged in meeting demands both for the navy
and army of a renewal of equipments according to
improved plans. The method of defending and
arming the country, which only a few years ago was
pronounced to ba the most effectual of the age, has
now been totally abolished, and a thorough revolu-
tion has been recognised in that branch of the War
Department on which the most material interests of
the country depend. The new system,which has re-
ceived the sanction and approbation of Gen. Peel,
is ordered to be introduced as speedily as the re-
sources of the establishment will admit. The Pal-
liser shot and shell (chilled) and the Fraser cheap
guns are to replace the Armstrongs ; the boxes, car-
tridges, and ammunition, and the Snider breech-
loading rifles are being issued with the promised de-
spatch, and the wrought-iron gun carriages, plat-
forms, slides, &c., for land and sea service on the
Woolwich principle have been shipped in large num-
bers, and are still in renewed request by the Admi-
ralty and the Secretary of State for War. At no
time since the Russian war has the establishment of
Woolwich Arsenal been more actively engaged than
at present, notwithstanding the numerous new re-
sources of improved machinery and mechanism
which have advanced with the time. A moderate
supply of the new rifles and ammunition is de-
spatched periodically by the Ordnance store vessels
to the whole of the out stations, and in cases of
emergency by railway and other means. Last night
a large number of cases of the new cartridges and
ammunition were sent off from Woolwich Arsenal
as a reserve for the army in Ireland.
The trials permitted by the Lords Commissioners
of ithe Admiralty with the petroleum boiler in
Woolwich dockyard have resulted satisfactorily as
anticipated, Mr. Richardson, the inventor, having
succeeded during the latter period of the experi-
ments in evaporating 18-911 b. of water per lb. of
creosote, during a trial of seven hours. The new
fuel gave off at times a great deal of smoke, which
caused a most offensive effluvium, the construction
of the boiler being such as to impede a full gaseous
blast sufficient to destroy and consume the smoke as
intended. Mr. Richardson has, it is understood, in
consequence, applied to the Admiralty for the use
of a large common marine boiler for the purpose
of future trials. It was stated as the opinion of
the local naval engineers and other officers who

were present that with such fuel the gunboats
in the tropical seas would be rendered habitable awl
comfortable. The experiments were attended by a
very large number of persons, representing the prin-
cipal engineering and shipping firms, and also by

The contract between the Thames Ironworks and
Shipbuilding Company and the Prussian Govern-
ment, for the purchase by the latter of the Fatikh
armour plated iron frigate, was signed in Berlin a
few days back ; and this formidable vessel will now
be completed by the company with all possible de-
spatch, for delivery to the Prussian naval officers
appointed to receive her in this country. Her name
is to be changed from the Fatikh to the William I.
A model of her is being completed by the Thames
Shipbuilding Company, which will first be exhibited
at the Paris Exhibition, and afterwards be for-
warded to the King of Prussia. The frigate was
originally laid down by the company to the order of
the Sultan, from designs by. Air. E. J. Red, by the
special permission of the British Admiralty. On the
frigate approaching completion, however, the
Turkish Government were unable to meet their
financial part of the contract, and the purchase of
the Fatikh was thrown open under these circum-
stances to other Governments, Prussia eventually
becoming the purchaser. The Fatikh, or, as she
may now be called, the William 1., is remarkable
(in addition to being a ship of unexceptionable
strength of frame, thickness of armour, and high
engine power) as possessing batteries of guns fought
on her upper deck on arcs of circles behind armojrl•d

fixed shields, over her bown and stern, and on her

broadsides forward and aft of her centre on each

A seduction case which has excited some intt
has occupied the Court of Common Pleas for some

was Mr. Chas. Murphy, whose only daughter, a
very young lady, had died in consequence of giving
birth to a child, of which the defendant, 111?. Rubt.
Doughty, was alleged to be the father. The parties
were engaged to be married, and the alleged seduc-
tion occurred when the defendant was on a visit at
her father's house. The families were very intimate,
and both were people of property. Damages were
laid at £5,000. The jury, after an absence of 15
minutes, brought in a verdict of £l,OOO, and 6d.
costs.

LADVERTISEMENT.]-11ollowny's Ointment and Pills.—
Self sickness it was a momentous matter to find
an easy, ready, and reliable remedy for outward disfigure-
ments and inward disorders before the inestimable dis-
covery of these preparations. No invalid need now be at
a loss for §uccessfully managing Ulcers, sores, tumours,
boil; bruises, sprains, &c. Enveloping Holloway's me-
dicine are very intelligible printed directions for using
them, which should be attentively studied and immediately
followed by the application of his treatment. Sooner or
later the sufferer will assuredly triumph over the worst
diseases. This searching ointment disperses all those
malignant humours which aggravate many diseases of the
skin, often prevent the cicatrization of ulcer; and never
kindle inflammatory tendencies in the system.

POSTAL IMPROVEMENTS. - Postmaster - General
poßalnitdicaalll
. provement into the service of his department.
' Since Mr. Blair and Mr. Kasson left the office,
little or nothing has been done, until now, to
bring up the service to the popular demand. The
postal distributing cars, which they originated
and Mr. Dennison broke up, before they had had a
fair trial, are now being introduced on the IVash-
ington and New York route. All the way, mails
on that route arc to be carried by the express
trains, and dropped and taken in as the cars sweep
by the stations, and overhauled and distributed by
clerks in the cars during the trip. In order to take
aboard the mail bags at stations where the train
does not stop, a post with an arm, or a crane, will
suspend the bag, and a crane attached to the car
will catch the bag, which will fall into a network,
as the train passes. The mails from the cars will be
thrown without difficulty at all points. Similar ser-.
Tice ought to be put upon all our main routes, and
will be, if the right spirit pervades the department.
Mr. Randall is doing something, also, to sim-
plify and improve our arrangements for sending
mail matter to foreign countries. They are now
very intricate, unreliable, and expensive. We pay,
for instance, 2-1 cents on a letter to or from Great
Britain, and 4 cents for a paper ; which is an
abominable swindle, and a burden upon free corre-
spondence between the two most intimate countries
of the world, that is a shame to both Governments.
Mr. Randall gives us encouragement that this may
be improved in about a year ! A twelvemonth to
reform such an evil ! It ought not to last another
thirty days, and would not if the spirit of CYrns
Field or any respectable Boston or New York
merchant .could be infused into the heads of the two
departments. To many of the countries of Europe
and Asia, it has heretofore been even impossible to
send papers or periodicals from this country by
mail. They could always be started ; the Govern-
ment would take papers and money to pay the
postage; but the chances were ten to one, even if,
for such a country as Switzerland, that they were
never received, and when they were, there was
always another postage to pay by the receiver. Mr,
Randall now announces arrangements for the re-
formation of all this ; and that papers and periodi-
cals may be sent to the following countries of
Europe and Asia, by the Bremen and Hamburg
mails, at the affixed rates of postage, which are
exacted in advance, and which pay through to the
point of destination. These rates are high and
cumulative, awkward, and burdensome, but it is
something gained to be assured that the work will
be done at any price :
