Several gentlemen, carrying the idea OF the round

DEATH OF COMMODORE wooLsEY.

Commodore MELANcTHoN L. WooLsEy
of the United States Navy, died at Utica, New
York, on Saturday morning last, of the dropsy.
He was about sixty years of age. He had
borne n commission in the naval service for
thirty-eight years, sustaining it with equal Gre
was appointed Lieutenant, April 9th, $500,
and Captain, April 9th, 1916.
From Il OS or %, he commanded the squad
ron on Lake Ontario, till replaced by Commo-
dore Chauncey in 1912; but continued to
serve in that squadron during the war;
Pressed by Sir James Yeo, he was in iminent
danger of being captured with all the Ameri-
can stores and equipments, but he skiliully
preserved both, and CALAMITY captured the
whole force sent against him with all their
munitions of war.
In 1916 he commanded our West India
station subsequently, that of Pensacola and
afterwards the coast squadron of Brazil; from
whence he returned in 1884 or s.. Since
which period, he has been on special services,
such as examining the Southern coast and har-
bors, &c. ...-....
He was with Commodore Chauncey, we
believe, in oil his naval engagements during
the war; and was generally entrusted with
covering the landing of our forces on the
Lakes.
Few have led more active life, or seen
harder service than this gallant and lamentcd
officer. He was an excellent discipnarian,
but without the least severity. The leading
traits of his disposition were kindness and be-
nevoencc; those Of his mind, love of litera-
ture and science; hence he was beloved and
esteemed by all who knew him, enjoying
popularity at once just and enviable.
To him we believe the navy owes its pre-
sent code of Signals, which, if we mistake not,
he arranged and established before the last
war,Rhile he was yet Lieutenant.
He has left large family to lament his loss,
and numerous circle of friends and acquaint-
ances to sympathise with them in their be-
reavement. He leaves a son in the navy, who
has only to initiate his fathers example to in.
hert his honors with his name.

We cannot find terms Recommendation that will suit

er OF Nickeby is entirely in the power OF the writer
who makes him love and hate, scorn and pity all
his characters, whenever he pleases. The great OBJ
ject Of all this authors writings is moral insruc-
ton and social reformation; and yet he coaks his
aim beneath the garb of wit and humor, knowing
that it will not do toell people, with long canting

THE ENQUIRER--THE sUB-TREAsURY.
A distinguished friend Of the editor Of the
Enquirer, thus admonishes him. You ought
10 cease abusing the Sub-treasury. Every
body knotcs your opinion on The subject, and il
is unnecessary 10 sag more" To which the
veteran editor replies: /" We ,oould say as lit
lie as possible-iadeed not a ,cord, If other
Republican (Sub-treasury) editors ,could also
sink The question" :
Any cause or proposition must be bad,
which will not bear free and open discussion.
Why "say as little as possible on SUBJ
ject Of great National concernment and impor-
lance affecting every interest, and every indi-
vidua in the community 1t is by discus
sion, that the public becomes possessed Of the
merits or dement's Of all important matters
submitted or recommended to the considera-
ton Of the National Legislature. 1t is the
expression ofpublic sentiment that ought in
great degree to influence Legislative action on
those subjects. Instead, therefore, OF saying
as little as possible" it is the duty of an in
dependent press to say as much as possible, to
assist the public mind in arriving at proper and
just conclusions.
Our veteran friend of the Enquirer still
urges his special Deposite Bank scheme
That, like the Sub-treasury scheme, is an sun
tried erpedient;' and, stands condemned and
repudiated by the leading advocates and sup
porters of the Sub-treasury, and of Mr.. Van
Buren,. We suggest whether it might not be
as well for the Enquirer to say as little as
possible" hereafter in relation to it.
We shall continue to oppose the special de-
poste scheme, alike with the Sub-treasury;
believing they are one and the same thing
under different names. The more they are
discussed, the fewer supporters, in our OPT
Mon, will be found for either.

THE MANDANS.

The name of Mundane in the beautiful po-
EN- on Babylon, on our first page, struck us
as singular coincidence with that of tribe
of American Indians. Mundane was the
daughter Of Astyages, the last King of Media,
and given in marriage to Cambyces, an ignoble
person.of, Persia. There was .Mandanes, too,
an Indian Prince and philosopher, whom Alex
ander invited by his ambassadors, on pain of
death, to come to his banquet, as being the
son of Jupiter. But the philosopher ridiculed
the threats and promises of Alexander, and
disregarded his compulsory invitation. How
much like the Aborigines of America, this
philosophy and independence of spirit May
not the tribe Of the Mandans have inherited
the spirit and the name of the Prince and phi
losopher! ..."
