The United States Nautical Magazine
Tor September, in reviewing book called
Battles Of the British Navy" by Joseph
Allen, task which implies only pointing
out the most garing misslatement, tells
al anecdote of the immortal Decatur,
which, to us at least, is new. 1t seems
The Englishman, in the plenttnde Of has
assurance, intimates that Decatur was
mistaken i'll the identity of the Macedo-
man, and that he tricd 10 sscdpe when he
discovered the command of Capt. Garden.
10 show the absurdiIy of such romance.
the Magazine tells the following anec-
dOte;
Before the war, Capt Garden and the
Macedonian wero at Norfolk; Decatur
was there, too aud warm intimacy soon
joined in friendship two kindred hearts.
While discussing naval affairs one day,
Garden sadl Decatur, your ships are
good enough, and you are clever SGT of
fellows; but what practice have you had
in war; there's the rub. One Of these
days we will probably have brush to-
gether, and if catch your ship at sea, l
will knock her into cooked hat, Ste
phen." "Will you!" says Decatur; Il
0W bet .yOu lat on it," The bet was
agreed on, and the conversation changed
But few months elapsed ere the war
that had been threatening commenced.
and the two captains, by some singular
coincidence, met. The results of the ac-
ton are known. Capt. Garden; on going
on board of the United States was receiv-
ed by a lieutenant at the gangway, to
whom he rendered his sword. "Not to
me, sir, said the officer, "but to the Cap
tain" "And where is the Captainl" said
the embarrassed Englishman. "He is
standing aft there, that is the gentleman,
sir, in tarpaulin hat and round jacket"
Garden went aft. and his feelings, on
meeting. under such circumstances, his
old friend, may be imagined. As he Of
fered his sword to Decatur, that officer
said. mo, Garden; never take the
sword Of brave man; you have fought
gallantly." But said he. laying his
hand on the others shoulder, II will take
that lat, my dear fellow"
In transferring TO the United States
the suite of Capt. Garden, a fine band was
included In the afternoon. when dinner
was announced in tie cabin, Capt. Car
den said 10 Decatur. those musicians
are veIy skilllul, and have always had
them on deck while at my dinner"
very well, said Decatur, 1--WE will have
them up" The band was ordered on
deck To play, and Com. Decatur was ask
ed what air he would like to hear. LET
them play Britannia rules the Waves"

On presenting the same forpayment, the

ensuing month. Numerous transactions
of a similar character, it is understood,
are in The possession of members of the
next Congress, and we presume they
will be made the basis Of calls upon that
Department.
We are credibly informed that some
of the Secrotary's political friends in this
City have written him urging that the

would have disgraced any commercial

Tie st. Charles Hotel and The
DUtchluHEi,

Yesterday rich scene took place in
front of The St. Charles Hotel. An hon.
est Dutchman who had just arrived from
the Netherlands came up 10 St. Charles
street with his wife aad daughter hang
ing on his arm. In coming in front Of
the splendid edifce already mentioned,
he suddenly halted, and, with his mouth
wide open, exclaimed to his "vrow:"
"Mine Gott, Elizabeth, what a splen-
did church,"
Hans, said his wife, catching him by
the arm. "does you tink dat is a Luther
an o. Cadoic church. 1t doeshcnt look
much like de one. and den it looks a goot
deal like de toder, and den agin it does
bent look much like de neder"
"Stop. mine vrow," said old Hans, as
he shook the ashes ont of his wry-necked
pipe, 81 will 60 in an see what church it
am"
The old man went in and saw a mole
ly crowd at the bar, rows of brilliant de-
canters filled with the choicest liquors,
and every one apparently enjoying him
self. He rushed ont in perfect horror,
and clutchlng his wife by the arm, said in
tremhidg tones:
"Elizabetl Elizabet! Mine Gott. You
hear how de Saviour once drive de mon

And now come, Elizabet, lesh 90 back

advocate the emancipation of the Island

tors will come from Havana, where the
sum of Sl0,000is already available, for
thisnew enterprise; the other is already
in the United States, and if not in New
Orleans will soon be here. With re-
gard to its introduction into Cuba in an
Iticipalion ofthe hostility of General o.

HUMAN Bones AND THE END OF MIL
LITARy GLonY.-Il is eslim tied that moro
than a million bushels of human and in
human bones were imported last year
from the continent of Europe into the
port of Hull The neighborhood of Le-
ipsic, Austerlirz, Waterloo. and all the
places which during the late bloody war,
the principle battles we're fought, have
been swept alike of bones of the heroe.
Thus collected from every quarter, they
have been shipped into Hull and thence
forward to the Yorkshire bone grinders.
who have erected steam engines and
powerful machinery, for the purpose Of
reducing them 10 a granulary state. In
this condition they are sent chiefly to
Doncaster, one of The largest agricultural
markets in that country, and there sold
to the farmers to manure their land.-
The oily substance gradually evolving as
the bones calcine, makes mnre substan-
stanial manure than almost any other
substauce-particnlary human bones. 1t
! is now asceuained beyond doubt. by
actuel experiment that dead soldier IS
most valuable article ofcommerce; and
for aught we know to the contrary, the
good farmers of Yorkshire are in u great
measure indebted to The bones of their
children for their daily bread. 1t is GER
Itainly singular fact. that Great Britain
should have sent out such multitude of
soldiers to fight its battles on the conti-
nent of Europe, aud should then import
their bones as an article Of commerce to
fatten their soil English Paper,
