Treatment of U. s. Seamen.

Mr.. EDITORIALS one of the "Poor Jacks
of the Navy, take the liberty to give you
the true reason of the great scarcity of sea-
men in U. S. Navy, and show you the latest
'sdodge" of the Navy Department to obtain
them. Having been one of those who served
under Commodore Stockton, in California,
and did the duty Of soldier for four months
on shore, (the different crews of the vessels
on that station being formed into regular
companies of Infantry and at times hun
dred miles from our ships, I have been
waiting patiently for some remuneration
for services which brought golden harvest
to the Government Lockers, and laurels to
our officers, but have waited in vain We
feel we are sighted, and until something is
done for us cold Salts" there'll be precious
few who will join the service. We have
waited since '48 thinking something would
be done for our land service of California;
we have waited since Al for remuneration
for loss of clothing by the burning of the
Missouri at Gibralta, when we were told
by our officers, ''to let our Bag and Ham
mock 60, and save the ship, as we would
be paid for them" We did let them 90,
and blessed if we've touched "Uncle Sam's''
pocket yet, tho his capacieus unmention-
ables have been pretty well stuffed of late.
And what is the Department doing now?
Why advertising for Seamen. When did
you hear of that before? And this not OBJ
tanning them, they manage when ship ar
rives to keep "Jacks" waiting some three
weeks for his pay, he having liberty in the

SIMPLE DIvIsIoN.-We heard story the
other night on the subject of division that
We thought "some" at the time, and never
having seen it in print, we are tempted to
give our readers the benefit of it:
A southern planter named P, pretty well

at number of names he thought should
not be in the catalogue Of relations, one
evening at tea he said
"My dear, thought there were only three
of you?"
