br1t1Sh OutrREeS on our COlnmerce-Our Navy
Now and In 1916.
In our issue yesterday we showed to what humilia
ting condition we were reduced, so far means
concerned of avenging the insults given to our
commercial marine by British cruisers. Werepeat it
thirty efeolve slips Of oil classes compose the present
navy of the United States these are all in commission
and upon them alone to rely for protection against
insult Is not this deplorabe state of things? We
have commercial marine exceeding in tonnage and
terprise any other nation the globe. Does Congress
know this Do the people know these facts? If Con
gress does not it should and the people will not accept
ignorance excuse. If the people knew be-
fore the deporabe state of our navy, they will know it
now. The whole country is rising man, and de-
mandng redress positive and tangible such redress
will insure US against future outrages.
The recollection of our naval successes in the last war
has served us long enough to harp upon. We have
advanced wonderfully in all things which constitute
eral wealth since that time but navy has in fact
retrograded instead of keeping herewith On this SUBJ

MttyUe Uesses of all classes while the United States
navy consists of thirty an commission, and probably ffg
effective vessels of all classes although the commercial
marine tonnage of the United States exceeds that of
Great Britain.
In view of these facts it is wonder that Pamers-
ton left legacy to Lord Derby the admiralty orders
to search well all United States merchantmen even Sus-
pected of being engaged in the slavcrade If they do
give offence in executing those ORDERS apology will
make the amende honorable they know the President

artful dipomatst has missed his mark for once The
Premier is, to great extent the Government of Eng

Government of this country The people can be heard
here, and on some subject their voice is like thunder
and this is one of them its tones becoming so clear
and distinct that Cabinets and Congress- if res
poets it brief authority, must listen.
There could not have been more propitious moment
for u.s. in the last fifty years. to adjust this principle OF
free trade and sailors than the present, and
more unpropitous one for England We are free from

and tried statesman, who baffled Pam himself while in
London, and for which the Premier has, perhaps
forgiven him. AS coadjutor in the venerable Secre
tary of State who gained his first prominent diplomatic
fame in battling when in France, against England on

Gentlemen of Congress, you now see where we
stand-you perhaps have it for time-and we
believe you will do your duty.

The proceedings of Friday says the Petersburg Er-

something from perusal of the following:
Levi Pearce presented report No. 8 OF the Commit

The Committee on Boundaries having duly considered
memorials from sundry persons within the bounds of the
North Carolina Conference praying for transfer to the
Virginia Conference and also remonstrances against the
same, submit the following
Resolved l. That the request of the memoralists be
granted far that portion of the State of Virginia
lying in the North Carolina Conference is concerned by
transfer of said territory to the Virginia Conference
Resolved 2 That the boundary line between the Vir-
ginia and North Carolina Conferences be Albemarle
Sound and the Roanoke river up to the point where the
State line the said river, and thence with the
State line to the top of the Blue Ridge.
The report lies over under the rule.
