The Revolutionary Letters.

We especially call the attention OF our readers oil
all classes, sizes, sexes, and sentiments, to the Sc
veral original letters, published to-day, on our hrs'
page, taken from the extraordinary collection De-
longing to George Clinton, and now IN possession
of his grandson, Col Beekman, OF Flatbush, Long
Island.
We give to-day, eight of these deeply interest,
ing papers, containing one of each from oenerai
Hamilton, Lafayette, James Duane, George Clinton,
General Howe, John Jay, and Robert Livingston.
The incidents related in those letters are curious
the sentiments most noble-and the burning patriot
ism, worthy of the study of the present age. We
particularly note the enthusiasm of Lafayette-the
profound wisdom of General Hamilton and the
calm practical patriotism Of Governor Clinton
What noble contrast between the principles, senii-
ments, ideas and feelings Of these revolutionary he
roes and patriots, and the demoralised statesmen OF
the present day! Read ye Of the present generation
and mend your ways!

The general explanation for this reduction of his
expenditures, on his construction of facts, the
superior efficiency in the administration.
Mr. WooD said, from his knowledge of the adj
minisraton of the navy yard at Brooklyn, there was
change at all and he could not see the for
the reduction of expense stated by the gentle
man.
Mr.. CUSHING. The gentle an from New York

ton. He repeated the reason--there was change
in the directing head. The change in the super
intending primary intellectual direction of the work,
and the infusion Of order, industry, method, attention
to work, and accountability.
Mr.. Woop was not altogether satisfied with
this explanation, and made further inquiry on the
subject.
Mr.. WISE made an explanation in reply, which
was scarcely heard at the Reporters desk. He be-
lieved, he was understood to say, that there were
hundreds of such facts in the Navy Department.
The Secretary of the Treasury was endeavoring to
ascertain the cause of the enormous disparity in the
expenses. The fact was, there was neglect some
where They had found fact after fact where infe-
ror ships had been made to cost most the case
in the public buildings here. Could any one tell how
the Post-ofice building, which fre-proof, was
made to cost so much less than the Treasury building
1t was owing to the fact that built by con-
tract and the other by Government officers. So it
was with the building of vessels. Where the Gov
eminent vessels were built under the direction Of
thorough and efficient officers they could be built as
cheap as the vessels for the merchant service.
The Secretary Of the Navy was trying at this mo-
ment to make the standard of the cost of the con-
structon of vessels of the American navy, the cost
of the merchant vessels. Give them this re-organi-
cation of the navy with bureaus, including one
of construction and then there would be accountable
