We invite attention 10 the following communica
non, the facts of which alike unquestionabe anC
| important. Without any interest in the question,
which have been raised between different kinds OF
docks, we have no hesitation in expressing the con
yicdon that urgent public necessity calls for the
prompt construction of some dock or other in IN,
Gulf of Mexico. To the selection of the plan by
means OF proper commission, there cannot, Of
course, be any reasonable objection from any quar-.
teri
-... For the Union.
REPAIRING OF THE GULF FLEET.
There can be no question that the public service
mperauyely, at this time, calls for the speedy con.
struetlon Of dock for repairs at the Pensacola sta
uon. No provision for this all-important purpose
exists south Of Norfolk, and the gulf feet is totally
destitute OF any resource near at hand in Of ne
eessity. At all times important, ii is made doubly
30 at the present time from the large concentration
OF naval force in the Gulf Of Mexico, and the cas-
ualties which may grow out Of the events Of the
war.
IL Is known that last year the rigate Potomac lay
for weeks at Pensacola in very leaky and danger
Gus condition, needing repairs and unable TO venture
to sea without serious apprehensions, even for the
purpose DIGGING round TO the north to reach dock,
and that at last, after being patched up temporarily,
deemed necessary by the department to authorize
steamer TO accompany her round.
At the present moment, too, we learn from the
newspapers Of the day that three vessels are lying
at Pensacola greatly needing repairs-the Lawrence
the Austin, and the Falmouth-whieh will be CON-
PEELED to come round to the north for the purpose,
II they can get there.
The late Memphis convention urged this point
strongly in their report referring To the recent case
ofthe Potomaci and one Of their resolutions was;
Resolved, That dry-dock, and convenient ar
rangement for the repairs and reftting Of govern
ment vessels, should be established al some suitable
point on the Gulf Of Mexico"
The Navy Department is also we'll known to be
soeitous for the speedy provision Of a dock al PEN
saeolai and there is probably not an officer in the
service who does not share in these views
As for the particular plan Of dock, whether bal
snee-doek, or secuonaldoek, or any other plan Of
dock, that Is Of no consequence Pensacola and the
service provided only the best plan be selected by the
department, with the aid and advisement Of suita
Die scientific commission. We care not which II
Is; but, on broadcast national grounds, we trust that
IN their action on the navy appropriation bill the
Senate will not be unmndf1l OF the urgent imme-
diaIe necessities Of the public service at
PENSACOLA.

tied back at the worst luck, by Southgate Il Co,
when tickets to the amount Of $500 are ordered
The purchaser may select any lottery, can take
regular packages Of tickets, or shares, or portion
of each, or can take promscuous tickets and out of
as many different packages as may be desired, or
any particular numbers he may fancy so run
upon.
Southgate & Co are the only vendors in the Union
that ever offered such superior chances to ticket
BUYERS. Il will be seen we risk more on the guar
antee than the purchaser but we are not the least
fearful Of the result as confident that among
such vast quantity Of tickets there must be drawn
several three-number prizes, and very probably
some of the capitals. If shares are taken in As
scheme it will give the adventurer twelve hundred
numbers! and fin 50 50 lottery, twice the former
number!
On the receipt of 5000, will send the certificate
that cost $500.
Now is the time for clubs to be formed in thi,

ourselves, we have every confidence in a glorious
result ofthe needfu. Let the project be tried Ad-

MELANCHOLY CASUALTY.

We copy the following from the Rich- mond Compiler of the 2d instant:
 MELANCHOLY CASUALTY. Mr. John Wes- ley Finch and his wife met with melan- choly death on the Els, instant, near Abine- don, Virginia. They were travelling, and had encamped for the night about six miles west Of Abingdon. and were quietly reposing in their carryall, together with nephew, when the horse being ,ethered to the wheel, took fright, turned the wagon bottom np- wards. aud she two old people were suifo- caied before they could be relieved The young man who was with them states that they were returning from visit in North Carolina to their residence near Dresden Weakly county, Tennessee
 The gentleman here mentioned, Mr. John W. Finch, was in this City on ,he 7Ih ot August, when we saw him and transacted some business with him. We parted with him on the evening of the 7th, and on the 10th he told us he expected to start from GranviIle with his wife for Weakly county. Tennessee He was somewhat advanced in years, but was an active, robust man; and 1t seems strange ,o us iha, he should have met his death in the manner represented. Mr. Finch was an honest and intelligent man, and sustained an excellent character.
