HUMANITY BETTER THAN FLOODING
We have read the public testimonial from
the petty officers and Grew Of the Brandy
wine, to the good conduct and humanity OF
Com. Parker, their commander, with the
sincerest pleasure. We join in the sen,i
ments expressed by the Norfolk New Era
in reference to it, and can but hope thai
the former irrational and barbarous treat
men, Of the sailor will not only be mitiga-
ted but abolished. The cruel foggings
prac,ised in the Navy are not only inhu
man, but unphi!osophical. 1t is found.
since Reason and Humanity have abolish
ed The lash, and substituted kindness and
gen'leness. that the worst case Of madness
and insanity have been cured 1t is sta.
,is,ical fact that under the old mode of treat
ment, by punishment and the whip,not one
case in ten was cured; nov when he most
soothing Offices Of humanity are employed.
scarcely one in ten fails TO recover. The
most ferocious beasts are tanned by kind
ness. And is il so, that sailors are more
incurable and untamable than madlnen or
wild beats? The advocates of the colt and
the cat will hardly insist on this.-IhF

IMMENSE LOCOMOTIVE EsrABLIsHMENT.-
The London Minister Journal gives brief
description of the gigantic locomotive es-
tahlishment at st. Petersburg, Russia, or
ganized and directed by Messe:s. Harrison
and Estwick, formerly Of this city, IN con-
junction we believe, with Mr.. Winans, Of
Baltimore. Ii characterizes ii as The mos,
extraordinary as well as gigantic CONNER
cial establishment which can be found in
the history Of the world, ancient or mod
ern." This establishment was called into
operation to supply the large number Of
locomotives required for the great chain Of
railroads which the Emperor of Russia has
directed 10 be constructel-Major Whistler
Bostonian being chief engineer; -and il
is so huge IN dimensions, that $500 oper-
atves are ene7Ioy ed in it. To keep order
in this mixed mss of Americans, English,
Scoth, Irish, Ge. mans, and Russians, a
company Of soldiers is kept on duty in con
junction with police force. whose duties
are confined 10 the works. | f the opera
ives are refractory, they are discharged,
unless there happen to be Russians among
them; and when any ofthese offend against
the disc pine of the place, they are imme-
diately tied up TO the tranges, soundly fog
geo. and sent to work again; and this is
continued, notwithstanding Messrs lIarri-
son & Eastwfck have strongly appealed a
gans' it, When n man presents himself
for employment at this establishment, his
name is not asked, bu, lie is presented with
medal having on it number. 10 the pay
house are $500 wooden boxes, and when a
laborer presents himself en- Saturday night
for his money, it is given. This medal is
dropped into the box corresponding to its
number, and new medal is given to the
laborer, as pledge of employment for az
other week.

BATTLE OF BUNKER IliLL.-D;scorery
of ancient + Eelics.-For some days past,
wo, kmen have been engaged in digging a
well on the Bale ground, in Charlestown,
on land owned by Phineas J. Stone. On
Saturday, quite an excitement was produ-
ced by The discovery of several entire hu-
man skeletons, and on some careful search
being made, a large number of other artic-
les were found, which at once identified
the shot as the depository Of the remains
ola large number of those who fell in the
memorable battle Of the l7lh June, 1776.
The skeletons were in an unusually sound
condition, and on one Of the skulls,a wound
apparently in1ic ed by a sword, was plainly
visible. On another. the hair was found
almost entire, and in remarkable state Of
preservation. Quite a number of metal
buttons, numbered from 43 TO 50, were al
so ihrown up. These would seem TO have
belonged TO the enemy, as they bear the
numbers Of several Of their regiments, and
as il is well known that none such were
worn by the Americans. The other artic-
les consist Of knee buckles, musket balls,
and copper coin, the latter being TOO much
corroded to discover their character or
dates. The place where these remains and
relics were found, Is supposed 10 have ior-
med a art OF one Of the main enlrench-
menrs at The time Of the battle, and that
The Lodies were covered up where they fell
or were thrown ir. Immediately after the
conflict.
