A WORD TO THE ORGAN

1t is but right and proper that the Fredericks.
burg Recorder should he heard in our columns in
reply 10 the Union, which took up the remarks
OF the Recorder in a different spirit from what
they were intended, and which were copied bv
US.
sit is strange that the Washington Union
should have so misunderstood our remarks upon
"organs, as to make us assaii the 'organ instead
OF the policy which first brought "orUans'' into
use, and still continues them in favor Such an
eTr0r-as an innocent error we must regard il
does the grossest injustice TO the more friendly
sentiments we have always entertained towards
the venerable editor of that paper. We have
never intImated or felt distrust in the political
integrity of the President his Cabinet. or his
''organ;" and it is nngenerous in the Union to
represent us the jackall of tho Wing party. be-
cause some of them happen to adopt some of our
notions upon question which can have no
possible connection with party politics We shall
say no more here. because the only question at
lssue-the necessity of an official paper-the I'm
ion cannot with proprle:y, discuss"
Naval SoHooL.-There is being constructed
at the Navy Yard, Washington, very neat and
beautiful little steam engine for the Naval school
at Annapolis This is very good idea. far il is
quite important that these young men shonld
thoroughly understand the powers of steam and
the working of eng ines.
So says the Baltimore Sun Would it not be-
as well TO teach the young gentlemen the art and
mystery OF packing meat, making coats, &C., as
well as all other mechanic arts? We have so
many officers now that they are nominally EN-
ployed IN the inspection of slop clothing, and the
Investigations of the beef and pork barrel. II
would be well TO make them jack of all trades at
once, and then they could do all the business pei
taining to their vocation. BY all meaus they
should be made "Skilful Naval Constructors, p
and expert and shrewd dealers in merchandise
and provisions, for The law calls for such, and we
are obliged to violate it. because none of the Old
CommodoTes, were taught that branch of their
profession.

We are very much obliged to the editors of

gives us pleasure to subjoin. If the invention be
genuine, it is certainly of the most interest

day muitiplies the improvements of the world
Wonder is excited by the boldness and multitude

IN many cases. to surpass the boldest predictions
of the past. The problem is, Where shall we

Questions Of dihcnIi solution with regard
10 The nights of citizenship. often arise a, the
polls--dlfcul. because no man unacquainied
with the common and state laws with rsspeci

laws are. either from common sense or analogy.
The following questions arose at an election
10 this county. A native of New York mi.

His coUn,rymen regarded him az the iackdaws
regarded their unfortunate fellow. whose feaih-
era had been piucked by The pea fowl. and
challenged his vote. The Judges concluded
there was an analogy between his case and
mans serving two masters. He could not
owe Allegiance 10 God and Mammon, America
and Britain al the came time. Bu, human
governments ale no, so reasonable as the Good
Being. or as Satan himself. A dozen govern
mems sometimes claim service and allegiance
from the same person The cord of allegiance

may adopt him. Should any native Of the II.
States unite with his adopted country in wage

There is nothing in the impression Of
