For the Washington Sentinel.
The National ArmorIes.

1t is suggested in one Of the city papers that
because portion of the fund appropriated for
the armories was not specifically set apart for
the salaries Of the superintendent, therefore
the President cannot carry into effect the re-
cent change ordered by Congress, and appoint
civilians over these establishments. We have
no doubt those who have so blindly resisted
the restoration Of these national workshops to
civil control, would be glad to avail themselves
of this, OF any other pretext, for defeating the
will Of Congress but the President has too
Just sense Of his duty, and too high regard
for public law, not to scorn all such contempt
ible subterfuges, and will carry out the act OF
Congress in good faith, no matter where pride
is touched, or where sensibilities may be af.
fected. All that the friends Of the civil system
require ofhm is, that he will select men ofhigh-
toned character and proper administrative
qualities, with such experience as is needed in
the management large manufacturing estab-
lishments, and this be will do despite the wishes
of those interested in defeating the laudable
purpose Of the law.
We ask the sage originator Of this bright
idea, if there ever was specific appropriation
for the salary Of any civil superintendent during
the whole period those armories were under
civil control? He will find, upon examination,
that for nearly a half a century the civil super
intendents were paid out Of the general appro-
priation for the armories; and who ever
dreamed that, because the salaries we're not
specifically set apart, the officers must there
fore be dispensed with ? Such a principle
would drive thousands Of officers from the
public service. What law sets apart the sala-
ries Of the civilians upon the coast survey, the
architect at the Capitol and the Patent 0fficei
None These officers are paid out Of the gene
raj appropriation for those purposes, and in nc
other way.
The expense Of supervision is clearly q ne
cessary part of the cost Of manufacturing, and
Congress rightly designed that It should be pait
for out Of the fund appropriated for that object
The further suggestion that the master armo
rers should be appointed acting superinten
dents, is only an expedient to perpetuate tn,
present system Of control, by retaining mel
who will reflect all the worst characteristics o
those under whom they have been so lonJ
tutored. But where, we ask, will means be oh
tanned to pay the acting superintendent,
they are not available for real superinten
dent2 Will the oracle tell us7
But, we repeat again, the President will no
permit himself to be controlled by any sucl
absurd suggestions, and will carry out the will
Of the people and execute the lay in good faith

THE BLOCKADE OF SAN JUAN.

Letters from private sources received by the
Star of the West---the last vessel which arrived
from San Juan state that Captain Jolly, of
the British ship Bermuda, had declared that
place in state of blockade. When this fact
was stated in the New York Herald, the cap
tain Of the Star Of the West published the fol-
lowing card:
Greytowa Quiet, and not Blockaded.
The report in the Herald yesterday morning
that the port of San Juan, or Greytown, Nj.
caragua, is in state of blockade, and that
Point Arenas is held blythe British commander
for any purpose whatever, is entirely un-
founded.
On the contrary, when the Star of the West
left all excitement had subsidized at Greytown
and Point Arenas, and everything was in as
quiet and satisfactory condition as could be
desired. e. l.. TINKLEPAUGH,
Commander of steamship Star of the West.
Since the publication of this card the letter
on which the original statement was made has
been published We learn from it that the
British ship Bermuda, which left San Juan on
the 18th whilst it was in flames, returned to
that place on the 10th of last month. The
Cyane was then in the harbor, and the British
vessel remained quiet and inofensive. The
Cyane sailed for home on the 18th, and imme-
dately on her departure, Captain Jolly of the
Bermuda, landed and posted q proclamation
on the site of San Juan declaring the place
blockaded.
Of course the letters written during that time
stated this fact. The "Star of the West" brings
ten DAYS later news-having left San Juan on
the 29th of last month and her captain makes
the statement which we publish above.
AT the first glance there would seem to be a
conflict in the news; but,we feel sure that this
is the true statement of the case:
The presence Of the Bermuda and the en-
couragement other captain induced the people
Of San Juan to act in such o manner as to
bring down upon them the merited punishment
they received. After that vessel returned on
the 18th, and when she was olonger awed by
the presence of the Cyane, which left on the
18th, Captain Jolly felt the necessity of doing
| something to sustain his promises and main
tain British influence. He, therefore, posted his
proclamation for effect and spoke largely Of
what British authorities we're doing and would
do. This little tempest in teapot commenced
on the 18th, and lasted for few hours; but it
had subsidized by the 18th, when the "Star ofthe
West sailed SO that her captain knew moth
ing of it. and reported correctly that all was
quiet
This is our Interpretation of the conflicting
statements, and we have no doubt it will prove
| to be correct. A real blockade under the cir
cumstances and in the manner mentioned, is
| simply absurd and ridiculous.

its and dement's of any subject that may sud-
denly present itself. 1t is either patriotic,
honorable and glorious, or it is traitorous, base,
and disgraceful. And il so happens, very fire.
quently, that what they have glorifed, they are
compelled to denounce, and what they de-
nounced, they are constrained TO eulogize, just
as soon as they learn the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth bearing upon the case"
1t is much to be regretted that the press of
the country is not more cautious and delibe-
rate in the formation Of opinions than it gen.
orally is. Many conductors of newspapers, i'm
patient of delay, express their opinions on the
the gravest affairs of State in hot haste and
with fippant pertness. Great questions that
perplex' the most eminent statesmen, they settle
at glance, and elucidate with dash of the
pen.
Such is the weakness of human nature that
the most laborious and pains-taking men, who
study every subject on which they write, are SO
much the slaves Of political bigotry, and are so
blinded by long cherished prejudices that they
can see nothing commendable in an adversary
or measure that emanates from an adversary,
nothing censurabe in friend or in measure
that emanates from friend. They abuse the
first and praise the last, no matter what they
may be or do.
There is still another class--the enterprising
but mercenary press Of the country, that cares
nothing for men or measures, unless they be
men that can befriend them, or measures that
may rebound TO their profit. They care not
whose feelings they wound, whose fortunes they
mar, whose character they asperse, so they can
reap from such outrages and iniquities har-
vest Of profit. A public measure settler good
or bad in their eyes according as it will give
them influence and add to their circulation.
This is the much Wanted and selfstyled indie.
pendent press. BY independent is meant
that it has no fixed principles in morals or
politics. The proper term would be the mo
party press" An independent press properly
understood, is a press with fixed principles,
which it enforces without fear, favor, or affec-
ton. This SO called Independent press is every
thing by turns. 1t is either flesh, fish, or fowl
as it may suit its purposes. 1t is a pirate on
the high seas, bandit on land. AS they be-
long to no nation, 1t belongs to no party.
Like Major Dalgetty, that which styles itself
the independent press, is soldier of fortune
that will join any army whosepay is the highest
and the most certain. We have no faith either
in the virtue or the influence in this Wanted
independent press.

~ Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy

II Sick Headache Remedy remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
to the public, is attracting great attention, only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials to
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there are so great number of people who are af-
aicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman who discovered the efficacy of his s'rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
great confidence is placed; andwe do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed has attractedthe attention
of all sufferers from headache who have heard Of il.
From our own knowledge of Dr. Eastman's char
acter and practice we have no doubt that the med
cne deserves the favor receives and that it will
prove 10 be great benefit TO all who may give il
trial.-Lynn Neps, December 20, 1853.
