The New York Tribune says it is informedfrom
a source of the highest respociability' that Sir
Charles Naper,s experience has proved that
steam propelled vessels of war are useless for pur
poses of actual fighting, owing to the liability OF
the machinery to get cut of order from the concus
sion of the ships own broadside and that this Is
the real reason why neither Cronstadt nor seyas-
topol are seriously ass sailed by the gigantic arm
aments sent against them.

"Mr. MliIsoN, Yes aud old fogy. All that i

headstrong, fool hardy, it sees no danger and
avoids none. The disciple of Young America
would loose the avalanche from its bed, and leap
on il to guide It's course down the steep side of
the mountain, and the same rocks against which
he would be hurled, and which would throw back
his mangled and iecss body TO the ground

advocates of progress would plunge into the swift
current of Niagara, and waive their hnnds with

WAsHfNcroN .AFFA1Rs,-In the House

WAsHiNGToN AFFA1Rs.-In the House,
Cummins' resolution calling for copies Of
the correspondence between Secretary
Guthrie and Collector Bronson, after de-
bate, was tabled-146 to 6.
Congress has performed an act of tar
dy justice to the services of Gen. Wool,
by voting him sword. 1t is reproach.
indeed. that any courtesy should have
been so long withheld from the officer to
whose gallantry and skill our army in
Mexico owed so much of its success.
The intelligence from Mexico is highly
important, and fully justiies the opinion,
which | have heretofore stated, that the
negotiation between our Minister and the
Mexican Government is an utter and ire
trievable failure.
Congress has a pile of work to talk
over:
First.-The Railroad to the Pacific.
Second.-The Annexation of the Sand
wich Islands.
Third.--The question of Cuban indie
pendence.
Fourth.-A new settlement with Mexi-
co, including the Mesilla Valley and Te-
huantepec disputes, and Santa Anna S
Imperial pretensions.
Fifth.-The practical assertion and vim
dication of Monroe doctrine, against Brit
ish colonization schemes in Central Amer
lea.
sixth.-opening the Valley of the
Amazon to American trade and enter
prise.
Seventh.-Adjustment of the Fishery
question.
Bedsides these, there are purely local
questions of great interest.
