cation from Governor Steele in answer 10 article
on the :" supervision OF public works." which APP
peared in our columns few days since Our article
was intended TO show that the conduct OF the War
Department. in regard to the public works, was fully
warranted by law. and therefore that 1t could not be
justly censurabe Governor Steele does not seem to US
make response to facts and arguments, but TO in
dulge in opposition characterized BY good deal OF
bitterness the military men to whom be refers. 1t oc-
10 that the question as to the employment OF civil
military superintendent of public works can be better
investigated and satisfactorily settled by relying
upon facts and legitimate deductions from them, than by
assaing the motives Of those with whom we may dis
agree. We do not think that Governor Steele has weak
ened any OF the positions advanced by that he has
conroverted any OF facts aud hence give place

THE BALTIC ETFET

Inc departure of the first division of this
Meet, and the review by the Queen, as describ.
ed by the English papers, must have present
ed one of the most imposing and magnificent
spectacles of the kind ever witnessed. 1t is
the strongest and best equipped feet which
ever sailed upon the waters, provided at eve.
ry point with all the improvements of modern
broad shouldered lion hearted veterans Of
the deep, and commanded by one of the first
naval captains of the age. Beneath calm
sky, with propitious breezes, and in the pre-
senee of the Queen and myriads of specta-
tors, this majestic fleet, mostly three deckers,
each under cloud of canvass, set sail for
the seat of war. 1t must have been most
august and inspiring spectacle especially to
Englishmen, who take peculiar pride and
pleasure in moral superiority. And no
American, no matter how strong his anti
English antipathies, but must acknowledge
that an Englishman has great reason for be
ing proud of his country. No American but
must respect an Empire which protects the
| humblest of its own people in every quarter
| of the globe, and maintains everywhere and
at all times the dignity and honor of the ma
| tional name. If the Black Warrior had been
an English vessel instead of an American,
| half dozen line of battle ships would, at
this moment, be arguing the question with
the Moro Castle in the only manner in which
such outrages ought to be discussed
We cannot but admire the quiet energy of
the British Government. With how few words,
how little parade, has this great British feet
| been prepared. The true eloquence of war
is action. But when America is wronged,
our Congressional orators content themselves
with firing hard words at an enemy. If Great
| Britain has quarrel, she builds screw propel-
lers and lets her iron mouthed orators do the
| talking.
