1t must have been sweet TO the heart OF
the christian to have heard the sound Of
prayer, in behalf of the enslavcd millions
going up from the halls of Congress-
The following is the account given in the
Emancipa.or.
Monday, Feb. &c.
The Rev Mr.. Phelps, OF Pine Street.
Chaplain, made the prayer in both Hous-
es. Among other patriotic petitions, he
pray ed that God would preserve the Un-
ion of these States unimpaired to the end
of time, and that he would keep our ma
tional rulers from taking any step that
was calculated 10 weaken.lts bands or en-
danger its dissouticn. q work Injustice
to any part or secticn O. The con federacv.
He further prayed the Almighty 10 grant
the necessary light and love, wisdom and
faithfuness, to those who have it in their
power to reach the great social evil Of
slavery in this country, and that The time
may come, aud come speedily, when the
foot OF a slave shall not press the soil of
the republic. The manifest sincerity and
deep feeling with which the prayer was
ulteree, seemed to meet foil response in
the minds Of our legislators, SO as 10 leave
no doubt that the petitions went up as the
united wish and will of Massachusetts,
The thought was deeply affecting, as the
scene was impressive, Massachusetts can
be heard at that throne without indgnity,
and her prayers, so offered, will not be IN
vain.

All business seems 10 be suspended In
Washington, and The city wears an air o.

Mr.. Nelson. the Attorney General, has
been appointed by the President Secretary
of State, pro. tenn, and Com. Warrington
Secretary of the Navy, pro. tenn. Today
the President sent Message to the two
Houses of Congress communicating the
information of the awful event.
The House, on motion of member
from Virginia, passed resolutions Of con-
dolence with the bereaved families of the
deceased, and voted to attend the funeral
in body. which will take place to-
molrow-(Friday.)
The Senate passed similar resolutions,
after some affecting and deeply impressive
remarks from the Hon. WIN. G. Rives,
Senator from Virginia. At 2 o'clock this
dav. the six bodies were taken 10 the
Presidents house followed by one hun

heads, by which arrangement The apart
ments Of the men and officers may, in ar
instant, be thrown into one, and degree
of spaciousness and comfort is attained
unus ual in a ship of her class. The
Prime eton is armed with two long 22s
pound wrought iron guns and twelve AZ
pound carronades all of which may be
used at once on either side of the ship
She can consequently throw greater
weight of metal at one broadsde than
most frigates. The big guns of the
Princeton can be fired with an effect ter.
rife, and almost incredible, and with a
certainty heretofore unknown. The ex.
traordinary effects of the shot were
proved, by firing at target, which was
made TO represent section of the two
sides and deck Of IA gun ship, and tim :
bered, kneed, plahked and boted in the
same manner. This target was $50
yards from the gun. With the smallest
charges of powder, the shot passed
through these immense masses of timber,
being 81 inches Thick tearing it away,
and splnteling it for several feet on each
side, and covering the whole surface Of
the ground, for a hundred yards square,
with fragments of wood and iron The
accuracy with which these guns throw
these immense shot, (Which are three feet
in crcumference,) may be judged by this,
that six shot fired in succession at The
same elevation, struck the same horizon
tai plank in target more than half a
mile distant. BY the application of the
various arts to the purposes of war on
board the Princeton, it is believed that
the art Of gunnery for sea service, has, for
the first time, been reduced TO something
like mathematical certainty.
The distance to which these guns can
throw their shot at every necessary angle
of elevation, has been ascerlained by Sc.
ries Of careful experiments. The dis
lance from the ship to any object is readi-
ly ascerlalned with an instrument on
board. contrived for that purpose, by an
observation which it requires but an in.
slant to make, and by inspection without
BY self,acting locks, the
guns can be fred accurately at the neces-
sary elevation, no matter what the motion
of the ship may be. 1t is confidently be.
lieved that this small ship will be able to
battle with any vessel, however large if
she is not invincbie against any foe
The Improvements in the arts Of war,
adopted on board the Princeton, may be
productive Of more important results than
any thing that has occurred since the in,
vention of gunpowder. The numerical
force of other navies, so long boosted, |
may be set at nought The ocean may
again become neutral ground, and the |
rights of the smallest as well as the |
greatest nations, may once more be re.
specied.
All of which, for the honor and defence
IF every inch OF our territory, is most re.
spectfully submitted to the honorable Sec
reIary of the Navy, for the information of
he President and Congress oflhe United
States.
