FEW WORDS ABOUT CAPT TAYLoRs sUB-MA
RINE EXPLORING APPARATUS
The President of the United States, accompanied
by tho Secretary Of War, Commodore Warrington
and others, visited the schooner Spithre yesterday
fof the purpose Of seeing the efficiency Of Captain
Taylor's submarine apparatus illustrated. There
were also present several members Of Congress ana
other eminent individuals; among whom noticed
the Hon. Mr.. Woodwork Of New York, dis
tnguished for his attention and lberality to scien-
tic Investigations.
Previous 10 the operations, Captain Taylor ex-
planned to the company the pecuarities and advan'
iagcs Of his diving.b bell over those formerly used
These peculiarities were evident to ALL and clearly
and fully sustain the high reputation Of Capt lay
lor. His diving-bell is truly model Of perfection
as a submarine Investigator. BY il, one can OK.
plore the depths Of the ocean with much case and
safety as explorations can be made upon and-the
explorer being, in fact, so far as regards respiration
and freedom of motion, in possession Of all the facil-
tiles he could have were he on land
The great improvements Captain Taylor has
made consist in the substitution OF copper for iron
and wood-one or the other of which, previous to
his invention were used-and the attachment OF the
submerging weight to the inner and lower part OF
the bell; thus securing TO the operator the means oil
detaching the weights and of rising to the surface,
without assistance if accidents should make 1t ne
cessary. This very material and essential means OF
safety may, with great truth, be claimed as the mos!
valuable invenuon OF apphcauoh oi Phiiosop,''
laws Of the age. The submarine explorers dress
also, am told, possesses improvements emanating
from Captain Taylor, which Time did not permit 70
examine.
do not write this notice with the expectation OF
doing more than calling the attention Of your read
crs to Captain Taylor's notwithstanding them
they will be delighted with view of it, and VIII
find the inventor disposed to render their visit 70 his
vessel both instructive and entertaining. At some
future time may ask permission to give more ex-
tended notice of these valuable and exceedingly USE
full improvements. Z.

To the Editor Of the Union:

To the Editor Of Inc Union:
1t afforded me great pleasure and qualification,
while reading the Hon. G. Bancroft's report on the
condition Of the navy, to observe he has directed
that "American waier-rotted hemp" shall be con-
tracted for instead Of Russian.
This subject originated with the Hon. J. X.
Paulding late Secretary Of the Navy, at the sug-
gestion Of Mr.. David Myerle, of Kentucky. Every
American must feel great pride that the efforts Of
these gentlemen are to be crowned with success.
The government pledged its faith to remunerate
Mr. NJ. for any losses he should sustain in his eff.
forts to introduce water-rotted hemp into general
use. II is TO be hoped the present Congress viii
redeem the faith Of the government by awarding to
Mr.. ID. Myerle fair and liberal compensation fol
the many losses he has sustained in advancing this
most important agricultural and commercial article
of hemp. Too much credit cannot be given to Mr.
M. for his perseverance and patience in overcoming
the many difficulties and obstacles which have beer
thrown in his path. ID.

Mr. Bayly maintained that the subjects of suf-
md Of citizenship are distinct. Natural-
concerns the latter, but only indirectly
=. former. Authority over the last was dele
.s,.a 10 the general government, but over the
g., j was exclusively in the States, as none
az a,,oca,ed 10 the general government in refer
~ !, Naturalization conferred the rights Of
.;,i,.rsbip, but not Of suffrage. From the latter
.;~b, be States had authority to exclude whom
nav peased; as they had the right to confer 1t on
u,hom thew pleased, without reference to citizen
hin |, was true, most of the States conferred the
,rh, Of voting only on citizens; but it was compe-
-, for them to confer it on whomsoever they saw
1, Naturalization only conferred the rights of cit
,,Osbip, which, independent of the State constitu-
nam, aid not confer the right Of voting The great
,;rhs which it conferred were of protection by gov
.r,men, with the right to acquire and possess
,,ooery of every kind, and to pursue and obtain
h,nnness and safety These were the rights which
4. rrolongation of the period of probation Of for

vou,d not, without the concurrence of the States,
I,rrive them of the right Of voting.

from Philadelphia to New York 1.-TWO wires) will
probably be completed merit reek. But it will scarce

The following article pays high compliment to
the las, letter of Mr.. Buchanan; and, indeed, il
seems to be given up, by gentlemen of both parties
that a more CONCLUSIVE document has seldom ap.
peared one which sets forth the claims of the Uni.
ted States in the strongest light and answers all the
arguments which have been urged by the British
minister. A letter has been received here from q
distinguished gentleman of the wing party, who
had entertained some doubts about the validity oil
our title, but is now convinced of its stability, and
prepared to support it in every manner.
The hope is even expressed that Great Britain
may feel the force Of our rights Ind that it will not
be without its effect in producing deep and favor
able impression in Europe Scarcely higher COM
pliment could be paid to Mr.. B. letters than to
say, as many nave declared, that it may even con-
tribute to preserve the peace of the two countries,
