The steamers Of our Navy, so far rs their
hulis are concerned are good and strong, q
mean those built Of wooden frames y but the
engines, which have been built by contract,
have failed to meet the expectations of Govern
ment, and the public too; and by which the
bulls were condemned by the ineficiency OF
those engines. One of the most striking cases
on record, is that OF the Princeton, lately re
built at the Navy Yard at Charlestown 1t Is
admitted by good judges, that if the engine
and propeller were taken out, she would, under
sails, compete with the fastest clippers afoat
1t may be asked why she will not do it With
the engine and propeller in, if the propeller
is raised above the water. The answer is, that
the vessel is overloaded by the engine and its
supplements. The boilers and propeller. we
understand, were furnished by contract at "a
certain price per pound of material for the
boilers and propeller; and to show how much
unnecessary weight was supposed to have been
put in, (the greatest profit was realised from
the castings) the weight Of the bearings or
supporters Of the shaft at the stern part,
weighed over four thousand pounds, large
enough for four times the porpose for which it
was made. When this is considered with the
fact that the Princeton had lead enough with
out any engine and propeller, it seems strange
that the public should condemn the Princeton
if these facts were known. asst5.y -f...,
But even admitting that our steamers of the
Navy are failure, would the Government do
better to take the steamers on the Aspinwall or
Nicaragua route, intending the unfortunate
Georgia? aI ~ - oHD
These vessels carry no freight but what is
needed to keep them in ballast trim, and yet
almost every trip some one of these steamers
break down, or require the united efforts of
passengers and crew in pumping and oailiug
TO keep them afioat. But the last Of all efforts,
and the most ridic ulous, too, to sponge Uncle
Sam, is that An agent for the owner or owners
Of the Inflated Great Republic, partially burnt
at New York, is in Washington for the pur-
pose OF selling to the Government the remains
= that vessel, to occupy the place of one ofths
new steamers . +H- t'-'i

than the Gardner claim. We do not know

SLAVES FOR NEBRAskA.-The Ann Arbor
Wing Of the Slst ult., states that a gentle
man.. upon whose accuracy full reliance may
be placed writes that while at St. Louis, a
few days since, he saw number of gangs of
slaves en- route for Nebraska, under the charge
of their owners. This is the way in which
Nebraska and Kansas are to be made slave
territories. Their contiguity to the slave
States of Missouri and Arkansas makes it
very easy matter for Shareholders to go with
their slaves, while their remoteness from the
principal points of emigration in the North
offers obstacles to their speedy settlement by
Northern freemen. The appointment Of
slaveholding officers for the territores will be
Immediately followed BY the election Of slave
holding councils in each, and slavery will be
established and regulated by territorial law.
Wetrust that the knowledge of these facts
will only the more stimulate the citizens of
the free States to make the more earnest ex-
ertions to aid free emigration into Nebraska
and Kansas Let no endeasors be spared TO
facilitate the emigration thither of the many
thousands who only want the opportunity
Now is the appointed time. Delays are dan
