A TernIhlc EAgine of War.

\ New York correspondent writing 10 an
exchange. gives the following description /
the Floating Battery which has been for
several years in course of construction
| suppose you are aware that a large iron
floating battery has been building III New
York for some years past. This fact, how
ever, is not generally known Several
months ago, believe the Secretiry of the
Navy seut an Intel igent naval officer TO in.
spect the battery and report progress. This
report is now on file in tie Navy Depalt-
ment. Ii is an interesting document at this
time, when gun boats and all sorts of de-
fen,ive and offensive modes of warfare are
being developed.
The iron vessel, so mysteriously decked
and hid from public view, has already beeu
fourteen years under way, and of course
considerable progress has been made in her
construction, and she could be finished, if
necessary, in one year. She is four hundred
feet long, and thirty ortorty feet in breadth.
She is built entirely Of wrought iron plates,
and each plate seven inches in thickness;
these are attached to her iron frame work.
She will have eight steam engines, and is to
propelled by two screw paddles, one on each
side OF her stern post. In smooth water she
VIII run, it is expected, from twenty to
twenty. five miles per hour and rs she is
intended solely for harbor defenccs, she will
have smooth water to run in ut all times.
She can, by her double propulsion power,
by reversing one of the screws, turn in her
own axis, or i'll space of four hundred feet.
She is to be mounted with twenty guns, of
the heaviest calibre and longest range.
The dock where this wonderful floating
battery is now lying is very mysteI iously
guarded, Owing to the extreme length OF
the vesse,, ,'rocks have been excavated, and
one OF the steeets of lIoboken has been tun-
nelled to admit one end of the monster.
When Mr.. Robert l.. Stevens died, lie left
models 70 enable Mr.. Walker, the superin-
teudent Of her construction, to complete the
vessel in accordance with his original con-
ceptiOn She has cost the Government thus
far, over half million of dollars. all Of
which has been expended, and lately the
work has been carried on out of the private
funds of Mr.. Stevens.
This vessel, or two or three like her, will
guard New y ork from any force that may he

which she is constructed are each thorough
ly tested by cannon shot before being fasten

twenty or thirty gun boats of the modern
style. With two or there such vessels, New
York would indeed be impregnable.

THE MEssAGE.-The Washington correspon-
dent of the ". !. Times, says the President
has certainly created a sensation by means of
his Message, although not one of the most a.
greeable character. 1t continues TO be de-
nounced in the boldest language by men who
stand high as leaders OF the Democratic party,
and even some members of Pierce's own Cab
met shrug their shoulders ominouslv when
the subject is mentioned.
The friends of Mr.. Buchanan, who had ho-
ped that the sectional excitement Of the last
few months would die away before the 4th of
March next, are firm in the conviction that
Pierce had the deliberate purpose of kicking
up row for the annoyance OF his successor.
Postmaster Cambell had assured his Penn
sylvania frierds that the Message would be
very soothing in regard to Kansas and Slavery,
and calculated to smooth the way for the new
Administration This he honestly supposed !;
but Jefferson Davis got the Presidents ear,
and put the birthstone into his ink when Camp
bell and Marcy were away"

A SERIOUS CHARGER. Z. Sherwood, OF
Cincinnati, in a communication to the Gazette
of that city, of December l, charges Arch
bishop Purcell, (RomanCathoIic,) of tina: city,
with having advised and assisted in the abduc-
tion OF the wife and three children of said
Sherwood. and their secret conveyance to
France, whence, by the aid of the American
Embassador at Paris, Sherwood finally recoy-
cred them. and has them again with him at
Cincinnati. We know nothing of the merits
of the case, beyond what is set forth in Mr..
Sherwoods s card. from which we make the fol-
lowing extract:
..Had L not lived in the midst of you some
twehty-one years, / might be deferred from
making such public exhibit of my wrorgs.
But, feeling that my grievances are really mat
ters of public interest, and that those who
know me will vouch for the truth of my state
ments, l cannot consent to sit down quietly
under such burden of wrong, and content my
self with having at length, and at very heavy
pecuniaTy loss, recovered my stolen little vrcs
again. do not make such heavy charges a.
gainst him, who is the head of the Romish
religion in your midst without sufficient proof.
L nave IN my possession written e'luehce OF
his agency. / kno,v what 1 charge upon him
is true. His letters induced the Nunneries Of
Montreal and Paris 10 lend their powerful aid
in concealing my family, and their journey
! ngs from all effort TO trace them.''
ssWhen did discover the direction which
they had taken, the same powerful and despot-
| ic church hedged in my way at every step,
making it next to impossible in this country
to obtain such passports and proofs as were ne
! cessary, without their being advised Of my
| every movement. The French Consul in this
| city is Romanist. The clerk in charge of
| the passport department, at Washington, is a
/ Romanist Should circumstances of a like
nature ever make il necessary for any OF you
| to pursue like course with myself, all your
movements will be watched, and duly report
| ed to those who have desolated your frcsides ::
/ and your chances of discovering your lost
ones will appear ike mine, almost hopeless. >
| s.It may, and probably will be asked, why 1
| do not seek redress at the hands Of the law !!
Ny reply is, tnat the law gives me no hold up
on the individual in question-my only direct
| evidence of his guilt being the testimony of
my wife, and, in the eye of the law, her testi
mony counts nothng.'

Be on YOUR GuARDi-A cotemporary ex-
presses the belief that the small clique of pol
iticians who. by keeping up division among
the forces opposed to Locofocoism, secured
this State for Buchanan, and thus elected him,
have only partially carried out their purpose
that they will attempt to play of the same
game in the approaching Gubernatorlal con-
test. at which they succeeded but too we'll IN
the late Presidential campaign These trick
sters, it would seem, are now busiiy engaged
finding fault with men, prominent in both the
American and Republican ranks, who are
likely to be candidates, for what purpose can
readily be Judged: if they are not preparing
excuses to oppose the candidates of the Oppo-
sition, no matter who they are-whether they
are pure Americans or pure Republicans, or
compromise candidates-thenw we will acknowl-
edge that the conduct of men is sometimes de-
ceptive At the same time, they are using ev-
ery means, even of the most unscrupulous
character, to generate suspicious among the
masses of the party against those who took a
more active part in the late contest-casting
reflections upon the motives which actuated
the latter-impugning the party integrity Oh
all who did not act in accordance with their
wishes, and charging supporters of the Union
Electoral Ticket with being insincere or cor
rupt. If the politicians who make these char
ges were themselves sincere in their preten-
sions of hostility to the Locofoco party, would
they do, as. they are doing, all they can to an
tagonise Hose who oppose the Democracy
Would they exert themselves to divide our
forces Would they attempt TO array one
portion against anotherl Will any sane man
pretend to assert that such would be proper
Course 2 We think not-for it is self-evident
that union and harmony are essential to sue
cess-that party split up into two, three, OF
a half dozen factions, will fail. Personal con-
slderations should, therefore, be laid aside
we should contend for principles-we should
allay nimosities-encourage fraternal feelings
adjust differences-be united among our
selves-puH together like brothers-and act
in general with reason and prudence. Any
one that advises contrary course, is not q
true man, and should be spurned from ouI
midst as a disorganiseri "a word to the wise
is sufficient -

NIcARAGUA.-The latest advices from Mica
ragua are important. Gen. Walker has been
completely successful in a series of battles
with the combined Central American forces.
On the 10th of November, Gen. Hornsby,
with force of 200 men, attacked and defeat
ed 100 of the enemy, under the Costa Rican
General, Cavas. The enemy's loss was 200 in
killed and wounded.
There had been four days hard fighting at
Masaya, the battle ending in the entire defeat
of the enemy.
Gen. Walker, after the battle OF Masaya. re-
turned TO Granada. and after giving the in
habitants three days notice Of his intentions,
in order to allow time for the removal of ali
valuables, set fire to the town and destroyed
it, even to the last yestige.
Walker then removed ali his effects, men,
and the inhabitants TO Rivas, which viii here

Ncaraguan war schooner Granada, Capt. Foy-
seux, and a Costa Rican brig of war OF three

SLAVE EXCITEMENT IN kEsTucKY AxD Ten
sEssEE.-Much excitement has lately been
caused in Tennessee and Kentucky by the dis
covery of plot for the uprising of the negroes
in different sections of those States. In South
ern Kentucky an attempt at open rebellion is
said to have been made. Several OF the ring
leaders had been arrested at Dover and seven
executed. The projected insurrection in Ten
nessee was first discovered in Montgomery
county, and it is alleged Christmas night had
been fxed on for the rising. One white man
and a large number of negroes were arrested,
and collection of arms and ammunition seiz-
ed. The Church at Louisa Furnsce had been
undermined and powder placed beneath it to
blow it up. when filled with people. The plot
is supposed to extend over wide range of
territory. In Perry 10 or l5 negroes have
been killed by their owners At Dover, one
white man, found disguised as negro, had
been sentenced to receive 900 lashes, but died
before the penalty was fully inflicted. The
whites were arming and organizing for de-
fence, as it was believed that general upris-
ing would take place during the holidays.

INEQUALITY OF REPREsENTArIoS.-The po-
litical preponderance of the South in our Ma
>tional Councils is fully explained, from the
fact that the State of New York, with only 80
electoral votes, polled at the late Presidential
election 595, $50 votes, while twelve other
States. having together 6S electoral votes,
polled $685. ,973. These States are Florida,
Delaware, Arkansas, Alabama, Maryland, Tex
as, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
Vermont, New Hampshire and California.
