sEAsIEN FOR THE NAVY. Nine years have
elapsed since the introduction Of Mr.. Coins plan
70; naval school to supply our ships of war with
home-bred seamen. BY all, but the envous and
ignorant, it was predicted that Mr.. G., from his
immense experience, would give to the country
from Is to 10000 wel-educated seamen, in the
course of very few years. The nation is disap-
pointed-but not from any fault of Mr.. g., or Of
his system, which has been examined and ap-
proved by the king of the French, and by the Bril-
fish Admiralty, and which has the appreciation
of the most skillful and philanthropic statesmen
of the age.
Instead of finding, al the present crisis, bull
wark of 20 900 stout hearts ready, at the first blast
of wars dread trumpet, to fill the post of danger
and of honor, we are reduced to the paltry con-
temptbe condition of begging for seamen and
green-horns." What is the use Of our fine
ships, if we cannot man theml We have materia
to produce them in abundance. There are, through
out the Union the children of the soil, and the Off
spring Of our adopted citizens ready by thousands
to flock to the Naval School when once its gates
are thrown open TO the sons of the humble but
honest and industrious citizen. Give us plenty of
encouragement for Naval School, and it will be
filed.
Some carelessness, and much jealousy, have
lately thrown this fine institution into disuse But
the people of this Repub lie are not to be trified
with-and, as this school was intended as a nurse
ry for the reception of the children of every coun-
try, we find that all sectional feeling has vanished,
and that many Irish and German charitable socie-
ties have resolved to urge the interests of this
school onward to the full tide of success. Thus
we shall soon have a new edition of the "Barrys
and Paddy Reads" of former days, to offer the
tribute of their gore to their adopted country.
Whilst our merchant service hourly increases,
and the navy is unsupplied, and whilst three
thousand five hundred sailors die per annum, we
have no school to supply the deficiency replace
the dead.

RAILRoAD.-The constant increase oftr,v-

investments in railroads amongst the best if

that few years ago paid nothing, are now

Pald are now paying more.
lhe Western railroad, which connects the
cIlles oil Boston and Albany, did not, if We re-
collect right, the first year. pay its running ex-
penses. But now it pays dividends, and il,
stock is held at par.
The HOusatonic road. which was bankrupt
and to pay its debts, the private property of
the citizens Of Bridgeport was threatened
with sale, has so recovered from its embar-
rassment that its directors are now engaged
in laying it with 7 rail.

to be profitable.

THE HARMONY MOVEMENT.

II affords us the profoundest qualification
TO record it in our columns, as we regard II as
placing the Two great Railroad Interests oil
Vermont upon their proper and natural ioun-
dations. and annihilating all cause for contro
versy or jealousy between them. II is the
Olive Branch which signaliZes the restored
harmony Of two great and not necessarily
conflicting Corporations. Ii multIplies a
hundred fold the assurance that BOTH the
great trunk lines Of Railroad in our State will
be constructed. The competition between
these noble enterprises, both of which have
hiiherto been managed with consun.mate
skill aud ability. though unfortunately not
without, some acerbity of feeling. will hence
forth be the only honorable and fair one
which properly springs from the course Of
business and trade. Both will pour wealth
into the lap of Boston and both will conrri-
butte TO The prosperity Of Burlington and the
State.-[Bu Free Press.
This very courteous eifusion Of the editor
OF the Free Press. however it may harmon
ize with the public pulse at the common ter
minus Of the hitherto conflicting roads, does
not exactly accord with the feelings Of the
people III lIlS bCCllOu VI hOSC
of the Centrals who have signalized them
selves in attempting to cripple the Rutland
road may have found reason to restrain their
impotent blows. although this circumstance
can furnish but slender evidence that the
leopard has changed his spo,s. But We
shall never be able to speak Of The skill and
ability 1eih othich these noble enterprises hare
been conductcd,' without at the same time ad
verting with just severity to the cruel &
graceless coalition which until recently has
existed between the Fitchburgh and the Cen
trail to crush the Rutland. The preamble Of
the resolutions which we have published,
abandoning the unholy alliance, shows clear
ly that the parties had pledged themselves
to Withhold all their aid and encouragement
from the Rutland, while the misrepreseuta-
tons which were speedily set OH foot. exag-
yerating the disadvantages of the Rutland
and concealins or palliating those Of the Ceu-
trail, show how faithfully the indcnture has
been lived up TO by at least one of the pariie,
who subscribed it.
1t may be a matter Of rejoicing that the
Vermont roads ale now placed upon their
legitimate foundations the Central counec-
ting with the Concord and the Rutland vi th
the Fitchburgh. But it will be long before
the people Of Western Vermont can forget
the abominable arts and intrigues which
have been put in requisition for two years
past by those who can find no other apology
70 perrerting the order Of nature, than that
he ruin Of the Rutland was indispensable TO
The success ef the Central.
