The misunderstanding between the Commandant
and the Mechanics Of the Gosport Navy Yard has,
we are glad to learn, been reconcled, and the men
returned to work yesterday. Mr. GRAHAM, the
Secretary of the Navy, in considering the memo
rlals presented to him on the subject, acknowledged
the general regulation Of the navy yards to be vest
ed in the Officers appointed to command them.
He, however, advised Capt. STRNeHAM to rescind
the Objectionable order, which, though intended for
the protection Of the public property, had wounded
the feelings of the workmen and this advice. it
seems, was followed by Capt. STR1NeHAM.

THE UNION OF OUR FATHERS.

It is well now and then, (says the Savannah
Journal,) when it is proposed to DESTROY the Con-
federacy of the United States to refresh our memo
res from the sentiments of those Who to realize its
blessings, periled fortune and life. Our wisdom is
not superior to that of the herospirits who bright
ened the evening of the eighteenth century. Our
goodness, our ability to do right, our power 10 reach
happy and high condition of life, are not above
the goodness, the ability, the power possessed by
those who made our fortunes for us, and gave us a
name which looks bright to all the world.
Let Northern agitators, then, with their skepti-
cism and vandalism go back to the rich store-houses
OF our Country's Wisdom, and learn rebuke for
profanity. Let Southern agitators, who think they
may rear republic upon the ruins of our glorious
Union better fitted to the wants of the nineteenth
century, consult the wisdom of their sires and see
if their plans shall succeed.

A discussion has already sprung up in ONO on
he great constitutional question, what is the mean
ing of the license clause now enprafted into the new
constitution Some contend that the adoption of
this clause leaves the traffic in ardent spirits as
free as the traffic in iron, -four, &c. Others con-
tend that under it the traffic can be entirely prohi
bited. The article itself reads as follows
mo license to traffic in intoxicating liquors shall here
after be granted in this State, but the General Assembly
may by law provide against evils resulting hsrefom."
The "strict constructionists hold that the Tie.
gisaure cannot prohibit the sale, but only provide
for the evils thereof, while the "latitudnanans''
contend that the best way to prevent the evils will
be to prevent the sale.

Governor SEYMOUR, of Connecticut, has retoed
sundry bills chartering Banks which lately passed
the Legislature. His reasons for Withholding his
approval Of them are, that he is opposed to special
legislation; that the banks are not wanted by the
people that the system of banking is not safe un-
der all circumstances, &c. II requires only a ma
jority vote of both Houses to pass the bills over
the Governors veto, which it seems likely will be
done.
