which we have never lea,nt We are yet simple

THE ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE MISSOURI

A letter appeared in the New York Arena Of
the l1th, addressed to the editor, by an officer
of the Missouri and giving an account of
the late melancholy accident on board that ship.
The writer appears to have forgotten his discre-
ton, or not to have been duly sensible of the
respect and courtesy which were due from him
as an officer in the public service, to the consti-
tuted authorities Of the country. How little
did it become him to speak Of the Legislature
of his country, then in actual session, as "hose
contemplate aoretches IN Congress !" The
vanity of appearing in print should purchase its
qualification at less costly price, than such
sacrifice of the decorum of public station and
the decency of private life.
We understand that the writer belongs to the
Marine corps, and we are happy to learn that
his associates in that corps, as well as the naval
officers. with one exception, unite in condemn
ing, in the strongest terms, this inexcusable
breach of propriety. We know that it has been
severely rebuked by the Department

If the Madisonian improves in future, as much as
has lately in abuse of Mr. Clay, it will go hard
with it. but somebody will say that it has little life,
and that executive patronage is backed by executive
talent, TO keep it in tune.--U s. Gazette.
We contend that Mr.. Ewing's bill-which
would have conferred vast benefits on the coun-
try-was crushed by Mr.. Clay. Now the coun-
try IS crushed, and Mr.. G. would fain crush the
President. AS for executive patronage" thai
might have made the Gazette agree with us in
opinion.

U. 5. NAVAL MEDICAL CORPS.


We have glanced over, with great interest," small
pamphlet entitled "An Exposition ofthe Unjust and In
furious Relations of the u s. Naval Medical Corps
by member The writer presents views OF his subject
which certainly to us, and not less novel
than just Regarding the extensive attainments and
mature years requisite to fit Physician for the med
cal charge Of ships company, he regards II as an
outrage on all propreiy that their rank bears no pro-
per relation 70 that of officers of his age on board
OF ship appears that they are as Assistant SUI
geons only entitled to mess with young mldshipmen,
whilst the courtesy shown to them in passing to and
from the vessel as well as on board are much more
limited in extent than those assigned to the sea OH
GERS" of the ship. Among other things, the writer
shows that Navy Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons
are worse paid and less considered than medical men
of similar rank in the Army, difference for which
there appears to be no just cause and which, there
fore, should exist The description given OF the
accommodations afforded for the physicians OF our
Navy, at sea- is calculated to excite general surprise,
and proves that the service must necessarily suiier
where all opportunity for study and seltmprovemcnl
is, as if Intentionally, cut off, The following table
is given of the pay allowed TO Army and Navy sur
geons and Assistant Surgeons respectively, from
which it appears that an Assistant Surgeon in the
land service has more pay than Surgeon often years
standing in the Navy;
TABLE.
Army.
Surgeons of ten years standing $259 SO to 2ss4 50
q under ten years 1874 % to 2227 IS
Assistant Surgeons, 1883 % to 2l39 81
Navy.
Surgeons often years standing, $l400 90 to 2l72 on
q under ten years 1000 90 to 1872 0O
Assistant Surgeons, $50 Oo to l2I2 w
The injustice Of this arrangement is so palpable'
that it must strike every one and should at once be
remedied It will appear strange that Surgeon Is
not entitled to have one of his profession as a
member ola Court Martial by which he may be tried,
privilege extended every other rank Of officers in
the service. If had room to spare, we should feel
pleasure in making copious extracts from this little
work, but we conGne ourselves to this brief no
ce Of its contents hoping that the attention of those
who about to draught regulations for the Ma
val service, will lie directed to them. The author
states that in the British Navy, rank has been as
signed to medical men, in unison with the rea-
ton in which they stand TO the ships company as
men Of education and refinement, and we sincerely
hope that in this city at least shall be led TO ni-
tate the example thus by the greatest maritime
power in the world OF the authorship Of this pamph
let we know nothing, but would respectfully make
acknowledgement to the writer whoever he may be,
for the clearness and force with which he has advo-
Gated the right of profession second to to the
attainments, or high moral worth of its members

GENIUS AND TALENT.

A man may possess talent without possessing a
spark of genius. Talent is the power of exertion
and acquisition, and Of applying acquisition in judi
cious and effective manner. Talent is cool headed
genius is hot-headed talent may be cold-hearted
genius can never be other than warm-hearied; talent
is generally prudent, genius is often imprudent talent
steadily and regularly forward-genlus springs
on impetuously, and lags indolently by turns The
feeling of talent is Judgment the judgment Of genius
is feeling Genius is proud and confident; talent is
humble and unpretendng. The mind, in which both
united makes the nearest approach to perfection
since the GOODNESS Of talent corrects the mpetuosity
of genius, and the conceptions of genius dignity the
operations of talent
