CHARLESTON HARBoR.-Itis said that a new sbit
channel has been discovered in Charleston Harbor
The Mercury says that Lieut. Mafit, of the Coast
Survey in prosecuting his labors in our harbor has
made such discoveries as to induce the opinion that
what is known as the Swash Channel, and hereto
fore used only for the smallest class vessels, affords
as great depth of water the main ship channel,
whilst its facilities for ngess and egress are vastly
superior But this discovery derives additional i'm.
Porance from the fact that the bottom of the chan
nell nuts shoalest parts is composed of hard mari
and shells, showing that the current has already
swept away the lighter and softer materials. and
aftording well grounded hope that by little as.
sistance in dredging any requisite depth of water
may be obtained. If further investigations, which
will be diligently pursued, shall realize these antici-
pations, the importance of this discovery to the
commercial interests of Charleston can hardly be
over estimated.

a growing stupor-a sensation of 'subsding softly

what may be seen in those lofty mountains, whose

vegetation uxurates at their base, and dwindIes in
the approach to the regions of snow till its feebest
manifestation is repressed by the cold The So
called agony can never be more formidable than

| BRITISH NAvY.-Sir Charles Napier has adj
dressed letter to the public, which fills five closely
printed columns of the Times, upon the subject OF
the Navy and its expenses. The sum and sub
stance of what he says seems to be, " that we have
spent about ninety millions sterling during the last
twenty-eight years in rebuilding our Navy twice
over, and now we cannot even find the fragments"
Sir Charles says: We have got rid of, or kicked
down, or made away with 10 three-deckers, I44
two-deckers 81 first class frigates 155 second class
rgates 30 third class, and 1874 vessels of still in
ferior rates-total III vessels, over and above
some 7Oi receiving ships. Inplace thereof we have
Ia new three-deckers 40 two-deekers 81 fngates
and l6l vessels of inferior rates. exclusive of steam
ers--in all, BOG vessels" He goes on to say: OF
the y three-deckers borne on the Macy list of
1915, 9 are accounted for and 10 have vanished
OF lj9 two-deckers, As are reported and Ill are
missing OF n SOS and AIS, there have disap-
peared 27, and remain none of 161 war frigates

FOREIGN COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION OF THE
UNITED STATEs.-By the report of the Register
of the Treasury rthe last fiscal year. it is shown
that the value Of goods and wares imported into the
United States for the last year. ending Both of june
was Sl47, S57 ,437. The exports amounted to the
large sum of Sl4j, 7j5, s2O. The domestic exports
alone reached the sum of $132 666,955. Our ex-
ports to England amounted to $780, 161 1892 or near
ly one-half of the entire exports of the country.
Two-thirds nearly of this amount were exported in
American vessels. In addition to this, we sent to
Scotland exports in value SO, j49 800, Ireland So
9l6,342, British East Indies 1892 1862, British
Guinea S662,315, British West Indies nearly S4,
100000, British American Colonies So, j00O 600, so
that our export trade with the countries of Great
Britain and dependencies amounts to over SS4 OOO
600. To the British West Indies the exports are
almost entirely in American vessels, to the British
Colonies one-third, and to Canada more than one
half. Our exports to France reached S12, 900.
Of which over S10,0000OO were in American YES
sells. Our exports the Island of Cuba stand third
on the list, and amount to the sum of S464l ,I45
Our exports to Holland, the Hanse towns and Bel
GUM, amount to more than ST 100000 The ia
bles will be found full of information upon this sub
ject, and very interesting. They show the high de-
gree OF commercial prosperity which the United
States enjoys and the extent which our agriculture
and manufactures contribute to it.-PhiLa. Ledger

10 The Administration papers are unnecessa.
rly rrtated the opposition squibs on the STYLE Of
the Presidents Message, and go into angry decla-
nations about malicious criticisms on typogra-
phfcal blnndeE. Their best way would have been
to insist that there no blunder at all in the para
graph quoted, and they could sustain this very
well for though not very elegant English, il is
not clear there is any blunder at all. When the
President said that we were at peace "with all the
world" and desired amicable relations with the
"rest of mankind" the word crest has not ne.
cessarily any reference to the whole "worid' ),
The "rest of mankind means mankind other
than ourselves" "all the world " in the sentence
means the same thing. 1t is as though the Presi.
dent had said "we are at peace with everybody,
and desire to cherish peace with everybody The
correctness of the language will be understood bv
merely interchanging the words-saying that we
are at peace with the "rest of mankind" and
desire to cherish amcable relations with all the
world" Nobody would say there was blunder
in this, and yet it is no more correct than in the
other form The dsputation about it is little
Ridiculous poor quiz on one side, and foolish
temper on the other.
