STEAM GUSBoATs.-The war just closed in
Europe whilst it has shown the great value Of
steam power Is means of transport, was not
such as to give full development to its prsc-
teal agency in naval fights. Steam, nevsrthe-
lees, has made cad havoc in old liners and
frigates, having completely revolutionzed
ship architecture, and brought into existence an
entirely new class of vessels-steam gun.

are as yet entirely untried, their evident fit
ness for service made them the most interest
ing object presented to the naval critics
notice in the vast aggregation Of England's
sea force at the famous Spithead review.
The question naturally arises, does this new
element of naval warfare offer any j1st cause
of alarm to America
We at once INTERESTINGLY answer, no. For
we deem 1t almost a selfevideat fact that

steam thus applied is to prove our great
element Of strength, and that 1t will con-
utitute oar most active means for VI
gorous offensive defence. 1t is to be hoped
that We shall never commit the fatal mis-
take Of Russia, and rest as an inert
Diass waiting to be assailed. If, at the
commencement Of war, we cannot in all
cases be 30 fortunate as to remove the contest
from our own shores, we shall at all events
very frequently find 1t in our pc wer to bridg
on the actual conflict at our own chosen time.
It will prove no quiet berth to blockading
squadron lying off one Of our ports, for it will
find full play for all it's vigilance and activity
in looking to it's own safety. Should we once
ever be lucky enough to dispense any one Of
them, or break up blockade, we may then
Justly hope that the tide has turned and the
moment arrived for changing defensive into
an aggressive war.
Although the English are the first to bring
the steam gunboat into life, the idea is oars;
for our government has long had its attention
drawn to this very class of vessels as being
best calculated to give activity and develope-
ment to our vast dormant maritime resources
for naval warfare, especially as applicable to
our defence on the commencement Of HOSTILE
ties with great maritime Power like England.
While steam, as the Prince de Jolnville SO
ably showed, opens the shores Of England to
the legions Of France, and renders the crossing
Of naI row strait as certain as the passage Of
q river, which never yet checked the advance
of . .kilful general or q great leader,
the case assumes an entirely different phase
when broad ocean separates the belligerents
A vessel capable enough Of moving along its
own coasts or fighting on its own shores might
be totally unfit to cross an ocean, consequent
~ nation called upon to act on the dsfen-
sive against remote power, which has to
bring its forces over the sea- can use much
cheaper and therefore much more numerous
class Of vessels for defence than that with which
the enemy makes the attack. For the home
vessel although cheaper and less seaworthy,
may be feeter, and at the same time carry an
armament of as heavy a calibre and Of as great
range as any brought against il. Wherever
you can build river steamer, there we can
construct steam gunboat. Wherever you
can find man that can run an engine, there
we can get q crew for q gunboat Wherever
you can cast cylinder for steam engine,
there we can cast and bore Paixhan for the
gunboat Therefore let US have few steam
gunboats, just to see what we can do.

4 Touching Incident.

The saddrst story that we ever read was that
of a little child in Switzerland, pet boy, just
as yours reader, whom his mother one bright
morning rugged out in a beautiful Jacket all sbi-
ming +" ith gilt and buttons, and gay as a moth
erS love could make it, and then permitted him
TO go out 10 play. He had scarcely stepped
from The door of the Swiss Cottage when an
enormous eagle scooped him from the earth and
bore him TO his nest, high up among the noun
tains, and yet within sight ofthe house of which
be had been hejoy. There he was killed and
devoured, being at point which was lit
orally inaccessible to man, that no relief
could be afforded. In tearing the child to
pieces, the eagle so placed his gay jacket in the
nest that it became fixture there, and wheaev-
er the wind blew il would autter, and the sun
would shine upon its lovely trimmings and or
namrnts. For years it was visible from the
lowlands, long after the eagle had abandoned
its nest What sight it must have been to
the parents of the victim.

The Fremont of Debate.

The clamor raised by the friends OF Fremont
on account Of the alleged violations of the free
dom of debate by southern men has induced the
Plandealer TO reproduce from its coums Of
1850 an incident in the short senatorial career
of Colonel Fremont which torcibly illustrates
his fitness as the candidate Of the shriekers for
free Speech. II is as follows:
The FooTE AND FREmoAr DFrfcULry.-
The difficulty between Senators Foote and Free
mont, grew out of the circumstance that Foote
charged Fremont in the Senate, with seeking
legislation in reference TO the gold mines for
the sake OF his own private advantage, which
Fremont pronounced false. Afterwards they
met in the antechamber, when Fremont struck
Foote and brought blood. They were immp-
diately separated by Senator Clarke. Suisse
quently Fremont addressed note to Foote, de-
handing retraction of the language used BY
him in debate, to be signed in the presence Of
witnesses, and challenge note was left if he
refused.
Mr.. Foote declined TO sign the paper, but ad-
dressed note in reply to Fremont, disclaimiug
any intention of giving any personal offence in
the language used by him in debate.
Inc iieuuS oI ootl ldFtltS considered thiS
satisfactory to Fremont, but, at his instance,
the note of Mr.. Foote was submitted to Colo
mel Benton, who consented TO the arrangement.
The following card is the result
WASHINGTON, September 2S, 1880.
A cARD.-The undersigned are authorised
10 state that the difficulty between the Hon. Fl.
S. Foote and the Hon. J. C. Fremont, growing
out Of certain expressions used by the former in
relation 10 the California bill in the Senate last
evening, has been adjusted satisfactorily and
honorably TO both those gentlemen. Signed.

Married Women, with brutes for husbands,
may find their legal rights considerably extend
ed by the following, which is contained in an
act approved by the Governor Of Pennsylvania
on the lth ult:
Section 3. That whatsoever any husband
shall have deserted or separated himself from
his wife, or neglected or refused 10 support her,
or she shall have been divorced from his bed
and board, il shall be lawful for her 10 protect
h"r reputation by an action for Slander or libel,
and she shall also have the right by action to
recover her Sepprate earnings OF property Pro-
vided. That If her husband be the defendant,
the action shall be in The name of next friend.

New Bedford Express, which was started as an
American organ. refuses to be transferred 10 the

anan and Breckinridgr, aud is bathing manfllly

says that the democrats are cordially sustaining
him, and that amongst his warmest supporters
are many who have heretofore acted with the
whis and other parties but being national
men, with hearts too large TO love only fifteen

s'If the election were held to-day, Buchanan's
majority in Kentucky would probably reach
ten thousand but when the fact becomes, as it
will, more and more clear that Buchanan is the
only chance to defeat Fremont, there will, we
predict, be general stampede, and we shall not
be surprised ii his majority in Kentucky reach
double or treble, or even quadrnple, that
number. We speak seriously, deducing effect
