PORTSMOUTH NAVY YARD.-A gentleman re-
siding in the vicinity of this yard writes us:
"The excitement in the navy yard has not
subsidized, though the men have resumed their
labors. Captain Stringham has modified his
order 80 as to have the gates opened half an
hour before bell-ring, and has disclaimed any
intention of imputing dishonesty to the men
employed in the yard. So far this would seem
enough; but they desired things to be placed
in statu quo, and hence their dissatisfaction es-
pecially as the order states that they must not
Ioiter or aoander about the gard before bell-ring
which they say is an insult to them"
We are promised some more minute informa-
ton upon this whole affair than has yet found
it's way to the public. In the mean time the
missing property and the veritable thieves are
being brought to light.

THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIoR.--We have
long since announced that, so far as our limits
would permit, We would hold our columns open
for political or other appropriate discussions by
men of all parties. We to-day publish a COM
munication under this rule with some regret,
but it follows as the natural sequence of the (as
we think) wanton expression of the Secretary
of the Interior in his Richmond speech, made in
the presence of the President of the United
States and the Postmaster General. The bowie
knife, as we have heretofore remarked, has been
drawn in the Departments elimination and re-
elimination have arisen, and Mr.. Stuart best
knows where and when they shall end Ostra-
cism has been proclaimed. 1t is or is not to be
followed up. The interested desire to test the

and the earth, and the winds and the waving

man was independent of all but the hand that
creates, and moves, and guides them all; and
all seemed to testify that His smile was upon
us, and that ours was a land plenty, of secu-
rity and peace. And so sleep rested upon us
until the light of another beautiful and happy
day had dawned.

It is known that in the absence of the Presi-
dent and Cabinet the affairs of State devolved
upon US and it may be known that no public
Acknowledgements have ever been rendered us
for the able and faithful performance of the
incumbent duties.
We are not yet free from responsibilities Of
grave nature. We are now authorized to say
that the following seeming political edict, from
the Philadelphia North american, has been sub
mitted to the President of the United States by
distinguished Wing citizen of Pennsylvania,
and that the President utterly repudiates its
temper and import, and declares that he will in
no manner interfere with or take part in any
of the State elections.
Sand now few words in regard to the
Wing party Of this State, to ITSELF to the Ma
tional Administration, and to Governor John
ston. 1t has been part of the tactics of the
enemy to represent that there will be defec-
ton in the vote Of this city and county. We
have not been able to force upon ourselves the
belief that this representation is true, or that
any Wing, protesting to recognise Wing prin-
| ciples and Wing faith meditates deserving the
banner under which he has served so long and
so well. He is no friend-whatever he may
claim to be--to the National Administration at
Washington, who, under cover of any misera-
| BILE pretext, should secretly or publicly oppose
the success of his party ticket, or its principal
candidate We have the best authority for say
ing that all such--if any such there be--will
be regarded as the enemies of that Administra-
ton ~

A GREAT CHrss.-The Franklin (iSf diana)
ExansiaeS, and many other papers out ws st, are
loud in praise Of = wandering Indian ehis 1. who
Is quite the hon OF the day. That paPs says
"Last evening we had the plsss ,ure Of
listening 70 the musical performances OF the cele-
brated lndian chief, 0kah Tubbee, on variety
of instruments, which upon tho flute, fageolet
and other instruments Of that class, far urpassed
any thing of the sort we ever before hss rd-pro-
ducing such volubility and variety Of il ltonation
as we could not have believed pOssibl had we
not heard them. He is operating al nong the
| American people with view to tho ultimate
admission of his people to the rights of citizen
ship in the United States, for which he con
siders many of them now qualified. He speaks
the English language with singular ia city and
appropriateness when it is considere d that he
has never learned letters; and whs t is still
more rkable, can speak in fife en- living
tongues and claims considerable kne 'wledge OF
three or four dead languages"
But the Louisville Courier tells us that this
Okah Tubbee is none other than Carey, q negro,
or rather mulatto, who lived in that city some
ten or twelve years STAGE He was an excellent
performer on the fife, flute and other musical
instruments, and belonged to the band of the
old Louisville Guards, and when this fine CON-
pany pa,,lded he discoursed his music to the
infinite delight Of the crowds of urchins who
followed the sogers!" Carey thought it would
I prove more profitable to turn Indian, and for
several years he has been " starring" it through
the country as DR.. Okah 7ub6ee, giving concerts,
:, Sc. Carey, the Courier remarks, has shown
himself to be worthy rival of Bnrnum in the
humbugging line. He claims to be an Indian
chief and that his wife, who assists at his con-
certs is an Indian princess
