MR.. STEVENS, WAR STEAMERS.

An appropriation was recently made by Congress
tor building steam vessel on plan suggested by
Robert l.. Stevens. From the description of this
structure, given by the inventor it promises
be most formidable engine of war. X.
The vessel is TO be of iron, shot and shell proof;
she to have greater speed than any vessel OF
now afoat the engine and propellng apparatus are
10 be placed that the latter shall be submerged
and the whole engine out OF the way of shot from the
vessel Of an enemy. She is TO be of 500 tons bur
den will need rigging, and with anthracite fuel, it
will emit neither sparka nor smoke TO attract notice
She will catry heavy guns adopted both for shot and
shells Her port holes will be but little larger than
the muzzle of gun, yet arranged as TO allow to
be fired at any angle; they will be protected
by cable screens capable of being withdrawn and
replaced with facility.
Mr. Stevens has also invented species of shell
for the use of this vessel These shells are hermetri
caly sealed and eectually secured from acciden
tai explosion, either from fire or from violent
SON they are perfectly safe, also, from injury by
submerson in water. They constructed as to
explode after having penetrated the object against
which they discharged and being elongated con-
tain thr e times much powder as the common shell
of the callbre; they do require the use o
mortars, but may be fired from guns Of the ordinary
kind Mr.. Stevens states that out Of twenty of these
shells which were discharged into timbers, or into
bank, of sand nineteen exploded in the manner anti
cipated rendering their action sufficiently certain,
e,ncing the possession Of properties possessed by
any other she'll and producing effects which We're &C
tually tremendous The following IS an account OF
experiment made by Mr.. Stevens, under the direc
tons OF the Government to test the qualities of these
bells:
target of white oak constructed in the strong
est manner, by of the best ship builders; it mea.
sured five feet in hickness and the tmbers
cured together by iron screw bolts passing entirely
through the whoe. This target perforated by the
explosion of sing lie she'll hole being made in it
through which horse might have passed. Seven
tmbers Of white oak, each measuring twelve by six
teen inches, into shreds and scattered to
great dis ancc
The plan which we have thus skelched from the
aements of the Inventor for constructing and arm
most of lis Details for many years. The present
thought to be favorable period for its practical adop
ton and in this belief Congress has concurred. The
necessary appropriation for constructing the vessel
with prompness has been made, and we may expect
soon to hear that she is afoat.

THE COMMISSARY GENERAL

The Senate on Friday last rejected the nominal
lion of J. WASHINGTON Tyson Esq, as Commissafy
General of Purchases This result has for some time
been anticipated by Mr. Tyson, and he was conse-
quently prepared for it But whether anticipated or
not, We consider the act nudiclous and uneaed for
and that il has been occasoned by the grossest mis-
representation and the viest ISLANDERS. Mr. T. was
only good officer in the ordinary acceptalion of
the term burhe in every respect admirably suited
to the stuation-was obiging, attentive and econo-
mizng-and from the rigid sys EN- he had introduced
this office, wou have saved the nited States
ten times the amount Of his salary every year. The
salary which formerly made 10 amount To about
$1,000 he reduced to $3 600, the amount provided by
law, having refused TO avail himself OF any of the
shavings coming under the doubtful term Of perqui-
sites An officer like this, should never be sacrificed
for light and unsubslantia reasons-much less should
bareiaced misrepresentation and personal rancor be
allowed to triumph over him.
We are greatly mistaken if the President permits
this triumph to go unshorn of its exultation, long
a. he possesses post sufficiently acceptable, be-
yond the reach of ulleror Influences to bestow upon
Mr.. Il.

TIE DISTRIBUTION BILL.

Let it not be forgotten that the period had arrived
when there existed an absolute necessity for raising
the tariff above the point fixed in the Compromise
Act--that the wheels Of Government we've clogged-
that the sary increase of the tariff would itself
in few weeks, suspend the operation of tie Dlstribu
ton Act and get, when the President in anticipation
of this state OF things proposed 10 place the credit of
the Government upon firm footing by di, eel and
immediate action this rery Wig measure Of suspen-
sion in the contingency provided for is denounced
and abused and hue and cry raised throug bout the
country, that the President is for defeating the Wing
measures OF the extra session i! Are those who now
denounce the President for this recommendation pre-
pared to admit, that when this suspension clause was
inserted in the Distribution Act, they we've acting n
bad faith Was this clause inserted to caiole and
deceive those who then believed this fund would ulti-
maeIy be wanted for the legitimate purposes of Go
vernmentl Was it inserted for deception Was it
the result Of chicanery Did the Wings do one thing
and another 2 Or, did they really intend that

above the rate of 20 per cent the suspension should
take eifect7 If they meant the latter, they cannot
upon any reasonable ground, disapprove Mr. Tyler's
recommendation. But if they inserted the 9Th sec
ton of the Distribution Act, in fraud and with the
intention to decepe their associates and constituents
is only carrying out their principles to den ounce
Mr. Tyler, for conforming his recommendation TO
their legislative declaration of then purposes.
Now, let it be understood, care not ho,c hiph the

the result at all. We would not crook our finger to
prevent the highest tariff that an American ever con-

ing the outrageous injustice done the President by
those who inserted the sixth section in the Disribu
ton Act, and who denounce him for acting up
on the belief that this clause fairly and honestly in
serted. He is but carrying out the principles upon
which that suspension clause was inserted and Meu
are abusing him for supposing they were honest when
they inserted it.

Il Mr. Tyler is not for retaliation in fixing imposts,
