The War Steamer Arctic.


Many Jokes have been current OF late In regard
TO this vessel sent out by the government under
command OF Of our first naval officers to set the
British 10 rights in the Gulf One writer says her
greatest speed is three miles 10 the hour. while
another declares that she goes backwards a fast
she does bow foremost. The New York papers say
she went out Of port with fuzzy foot of grass and
barnacles attached TO her bottom. What Is worse.
the British officers in the Gulf are said ~ have
laughed outright when she made her appearance in
those waters as a vessel Of war.
We think IL probable, from the history OF the
Arctic, that all these filings contain more or less Of
truth She was built for q light boat aud at one
time stationed on Martins Industry, off the mouth
Of the Savannah. To resist the heavy seas at
that point she was constructed with great strength
and when the government concluded to send out an
expedition to the Arctic seas in search OF Dr. Kane
this feature recommended her TO the department as
one Of the vessels for that pcrilous service.

rally and TO the entire satisfaction Other commander
and the government; but there Is evidence Of her
fitness for any other service unless it be that for
which she was originally designed. We were not n
little surprised that Captain Harstene consented 10
cruise In the Gulf, where there was at least some
risk OF hostile collision, witi such a vessel un.
worthy alike of himself and The purposes OF the

that the British were willing 10 give voluntarily

Senator Davis Among the Yankees.

Ifrom the Portland (Me) Argus, July lO.l
Some of citizens last evening saw fit 70 treat
the distinguished Senator from Mississippi TO SCI
renadc, and accordingly assembled with the Port
land band about ten o'clock at the boarding house
Of Madame Blanchard, on the corner OF Park aud
Danforth streets where that gentleman s stopping.
The evening was cool and pleasant. Chambers
band discoursed some Of its sweetest music, and
very soon an immense concourse OF people, hclud-
ing large representation Of the fair sex, was
ssnbled in the vicinity. AT the conclusion Of the
music, Col Davis appeared upon the steps. and, af-
ter an introduction by James L. Farmer Bsq., was
greeted with enthusiastic cheers from the concourse
OF citizens He then spoke for half an hour, making
q chaste, eloquent and very happy speech, which
was received with frequent and hearty manifesto
tons Of applause. Another compliment of three
cheers was then given and the people dispersed all
appearing TO be delighted with the address 20 which
they had listened with almost breathless attention
II Is enough 10 say, that Col. Davis found the way
direct to the hearts Of our people, who warmly re-
sponded TO the sentiments which he uttered, and
which evidently came as warmly from his own
heart.
