For the New Era
SEAMEN.

The government should not pay their men in
advance. So far from paying them in advance
they should not take them without they have
clothes enough to last them until they have paw
due them to buy more. Let the quantity of
clothes, however, be moderate, say, Il working
suit, blanket and change of linen
Paying sailors in advance, has done deal of
mischief. The sailor is always tempted TO run
away as he runs from his creditors, and the Off
GERS, 10 prevent them from running, oflen,mes
subject them TO unnecessary restraints
sailor might be made TO take better care of
himself than he does at present. In the first
place, you should say to him, we will not receive
You unless you have few decent clothes, and in
the next, we will not require you to have more
than suitable wardrobe for comfort and show
The rest of your pay shall be yours, with oppor-
tunities of spending it, Thousands of lads would
60 abroad in our men-of- war. if, when they got
abroad, they were allowed their pay and oppor-
tunities to spend it, The old system was to force
the sailors into spending their money at home.
We do better now, but there is room for doing
more. merchant ship has lately sailed without
the men taking any advance Those fellows will
get their money abroad if they want it. Where
our lads have scores to settle let them, when the
ship is ready for sea, have advances proportoned
to the remoteness of the stations to which thew
are going, so that by the time they get there, they
will be out of debt, or, if they prefer it, let them
leave quarter or half pay tickets as, indeed they
are now more or less in the habit of doing

Then they will dread rather than court collision
with US.
In order TO this it is of the utmost importance
that we should be forthwith supplied with com
pement of steam vessels. Other nations are pro-
vding themselves with this most efficient auxil-
larry to the Naval arm. We must increase our
number or be left in rear of the onward march of
improvement. The nation will not consent TO be
thus distanced while we have the energy, enter
prise, genius. and resources to enable us to out
strip, instead of tagging behind all others Steam
vessels then to be constructed and we would
most respectfully suggest to the Honorable Secre-
tary the propriety of recommending to the next
Congress, that a foundry with all other necessary
machinery for the construction and repair of en-
gnes, and all of their APPENDICES be here erected
We would suggest that this would be far more
economical course, than TO be always dependent
upon private contracts for all work of this kind
required in the service. There are many reasons
why our Yard should be selected for the locate
of such an establishment We have the most
extensive Yard Our Dry Dock is large enough
to receive the largest class of ships. Our climate
is favorable, vessels can be taken in and repaired
at all seasons of the year We are comparative
ly near to inexhausiable supplies of timber for
ship building. In fact every consideration seems
to point to this as the proper location.
OF the eXpediency of the government doing
this as well as other kinds of work, for herself.
by workmen employed for the express purpose.
there can be no doubt. And in addition to the con d..
siderations before mentioned for the establishment
of steam marine, is the fact that we would thus
be provided with the most prompt, efficient, and
least expensive means for transportation of stores
of every kind, to whatever portion of the world
it might be necessary. Then, instead of Depend
ing upon hired transports, often at exorbitant
charges, we should he prepared to transport our
soldiers at from one portion of the seaboard
TO another, where their services might be neces-
sary for instance transfer of troops as of late to
Texas, or elsewhere. We should also be efficient
ly prepared for defence any moment. Willnot

this important subject.

BILLIARDS..

We accord mos, fully in all the views expr ess-
ed below, in the article extracted from the Rich
mond Wing. There can be no doubt that the
unwise restriction of the game of Billiards in the
Territory of Virginia, has done more to promote
gambling, and all It's concomitants, than any
other negative act passed by our Legislature
Billiards is like chess, game of science, action
and thought, and will not allow of heavy hazards
1t contains enough excitementin ITSELF and does not
require the stimulants that games of chance do to
make them even bearable. 1t was mistaken
idea to have driven this amusement from the
State.
ANTI-GAMBLING AssoCIATIoN-BrLLIAR
We have received, and shall publish to- morrow
if possible, a communication from the pen of
friend, addressed to Ro. r. Collier, Esq, asking
some more definite specifications against the pro-
fessional gamblers, recommending Society for
the suppression of Gaming, and requesting a re-
ply to the suggestion, (from Mr. Collier)
Much unquestionably could be accomplished
for the suppression of the vice of gambling by in
dividual combination. That which men of honor
would unanimously or even generally concur in
dsconntenancing, would fall of itself The lamp
would expire for want of the oil necessary to feed
the flame. 1t is such men--the unwary and IN
suspecling, the ardent and the uncalculatinp-
who have chiefly contributed by their own ruin to
sustain and enrich the gambling class An asso-
citation among these, would prove fatal to Illicit
gambling
But, If this is too much to anticipate or to hope
it is in the power of legislation to lend the most
powerful and effective assistance The method
is perfectly simple, and as efTeclual as simple
LEGALIZE BILLIARDS: Repeal the statute
ry prohibition against game which of all games
is the most innocent and unproductive of betting.
the most philosophical in its physical and mental
combinations, instructive amusement TO the
mind. and an agreeable and sauary exercise to
the body.
The suppression of Billiards in Virginia, was no
doubt suggested by the most patriotic motives :
but that it was unwse, the result has established
in the promotion Of secret and mu1derous ram.
bling-gambling hidden from public observation :
gambling destructive in the ratio Of its secrecy -
This was the opinion of John Marshall, and in
one of the last conversations which the author Of
the observations held with that great and GOOD
man. more truly great perhaps than all save
Washington and Franklin, to whom that epithet
has been applied among our cOuntrymen, he urged
the restoration Of Billiards, as a measure which
would prove more eflicacious in suppressinp vi
cious and predatory gaming, than all others com
bined, which it was within the power of .Lepis-
latlOn TO adopt. Amusement, he said would be
sought, and it was presented by no other game.
in form so harmless and at the same time so at
tractive, as to subdue the thirst for more danger
Gus games Amusement, he farther continued
was craved by nature, and necessary, ifnot to all,
certainly to most, and it ought to be the study Of
