tresWhich had for years been smothered in the
bosom of Henry Clay, were TO blaze out, and
their eruptions were to cover the world. We
fknew that General Jackson yet lived and we told
our readers that the publication Of the work was
very doubtful. and from that time nothing was
heard of it, till day two since, when it wasan-
noupced for publication in November Gen jack
son has been gathered to his fathers The sleep
OF death has sealed his mouth and personal contra
diction from him is impossible. His word, it was
known, would be potent. He who never cow
cred nor faltered; who never broke promise,
would be believed in opposition to political ro-
maneers, and during his life it would not do to
publish the book; but now Mr.. Clay visits Vir-
ginia and the bookris being published in Mary

The case Of Lieutenant johnson. The dec
sion of the Court Martial convened. short time
ago, at the Naval Asylum, for the trial of Lieut.
R. E. JOHNSON, has been approved by the Sccre-
tary Of the Navy, and made known. The charges
brought against the Lieutenant were numerous,
but were substantially three only-oppression,
dsrespect to his superior officer, and fraud. The
Court acquit him, in very positive terms of the
last, and also discharge him in effect from the first
charge, observing that although severe in his pun
ishment, in the incidents cited under the charges,
yet that the provocation given him was Of the most
irritating character, and such would naturally
excite severity on the part of the officer. They
regret that so much gravity was impaired to the
charges by the language in which they were
brought forward, and seem to think that noun
tain in this case had been made out of molc-hill
They acquit the accused of every charge which
reflected upon his honor as man, or his conduct
as gentleman, but convict him of severity and a
breach of discipline for which they sentence him to
suspension from duty for period of six months.
This sentence was more than was anticipated by
many who heard the trial, but it is not of char
acter to be seriously objected to by the accused, or
his friends PhiIsd. Ledger.

SECRETARY BANcRoFr.--The Secretary Of the
Navy arrived in this city, with his family, from
Boston, on Wednesday morning. The severe i'll
ness of one Of his children induced speedy depart
ure for the South, and he left by the cars for Phil
adelphia on Thursday morning. Mr.. Bancroft
embraced the occasion Of this brief visit to make
careful examination Of the navy yard, and the
works in progress for a dry dock. This visit was
strictly one Of business, and all parade dis
pensed with, at the request Of the secretary. The
ships, store-houses, and docks were carefully in
spectcd anda thorough examination made Of the ex-
tensve wharf recently commenced for the protection
and convenient mooring ofshipping in that part Of
the public property formerly known as Wallabout
bay. The result Of this examination was entirely
satisfactory, and the Secretary expressed himself
grati6ed with the plan and execution of the work,
The activity apparent in the several departments OF
the yard and dock were in high decree creditable
to Captain Stringham and his officers, and Mr..
Sanger, the chief engineer Of the dock and were
the subject Of favorable comment by the Secretary
This visit, though necessarily brief one, will
have enabled Mr.. Bancroft 20 become practically
acquainted with the extent. and capacity Of the
works on this station for usefulness In any exigen-
cy that may occur; and our citizens may feel as
sured that this branch Of the public defence is in the
hands of one who will direct its power with sapncity
and energy. Greater vigor and efficiency have
never been known in the various departments of the
navy than exist at the present time.
