NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.

The subjoined article, in the form of an Off
cial Report of the views of Commodore CHARLES
STEWART on the subject of Discipline in the
Navy, was placed in our hands by friend some
time ago, when our columns were SO much en-
gagged that we could not with convenience insert
it. We embrace with pleasure the present oppor-
tunity Of giving it publicity. The well-known
character of the well-tred veteran who is the au-
thor of it will command for it respectful and at
tentive perusal by every class; and certainly the
opinions of such an Officer on such subject are
entitled to great weight.
1t is perhaps proper to add, however, that there
is division Of opinion on this subject among the
Officers of the Navy, some of the most experienced
among them entertaining views Of the subject diff
ferent from those Of the gallant Commodore, whilst
others coincide with him in opinion.
The proposed +" reform in the discipline of the
Navy is at this moment in the full course of expe.
riment. Whether the experiment will be success
full or not we ourselves have doubts; but no one
would more rejoice than we in the realization Of
all the success for it that is hoped by its most
earnest friends.
