THE FIRE SHIPS.

In the hold of each vessel, along the whole
length, was laid down n solid flooring of brick
and mortar one foot thick, and five feet wide.
Upon this was built a chamber of marble ma
sonry, forty feet long, three and and halt feet
broad. as many high, and with sidewalks five
feet in thickness. This was the crater. 1t was
filed with seven thousand pounds of gunpow-
der of kind superior to ANYTHING known, and
prepared by Gianibel himself. 1t was covered
with roof six feet in thickness, formed of blue
tombstones, placed edgewisc. Over this crater,
rose hollow cone, or pyramid, made of heavy
marble slabs, and filled with mill-stones, can
non balls blocks of marble, chains iron
hooks, plough coulters, and every dangerous
missile that could be imagined; the spaces be-
tween the mine and the sides of each ship were
likewise filled with paving stones, harpoons,
and other projectiles. The whole fabric was
then covered by smooth, light flooring of
planks and brick work, upon which was pile

time, in order that the two vessels might pre-

INSTRUCTIONS IN THE WAY OF THE
GOVERNMENT.


The Albany Ereaing Journal, whose editor
has had opportunities to know the course of
events at Washington, thus enumeratcs some
OF the distractions met with BY the new admin
istration in its effort to save what remained of
the government from utter wreck :-"No one
can realize the amount of embarrassment which
the government has encountered from the ne
cessity of entrusting the execution of its orders
to an army and navy almost half demoralized
by officers of reasonable sympathes. When
1t was decided to employ troops for the defence
of the capital, staff officers, after remaining long
enough in the war department to acquire as
much knowledge as possible of the details, re-
signed, TO carry that knowlege into the camp of
the cnemyl When the Norfolk Navy Yard was
found to be in danger, orders were despatched
from the Navy Department to have all the ves-
sells taken out. Officers at the yard, secretly
sympathzing with secession first prevented the
execution of the ORDERS on the ground, that it
was not necessary, and then resigned. The
Navy department, on being apprised of this,
instantly sent Commodore Paulding down to
save the property. But it was then too late
All that could be done was to destroy it, to pre-
vent its falling into the hands of the secession
lists, and that he did cfectualy. When the
seventh regiment and the Massachusetts troops
arrived at Annapolis, the capital was almost de-
fenceless. A quartermastcr was ordered to 20
to Annapolis from Washington to hasten their
march. He went, as was supposed to execute
his mission, but, instead OF bringing in the de-
sired reinforcements, coolly, at his leisure,
brought in his resignation When the river
steamboats, were seized at Washington for gov
ernment use, they were sent round to the Navy
Yard to be armed for service. Immediately on
their arrival, every officer in the yard but one
resigned, in order to stop the'work These are
but few pages out of a whole volume of un-
written history. AT every step, for a while, the
government was clogged and crippled by trail
tors. who drew their pay and affected loyalty so
long as nothing was required of them, but who,
at the critical moment when their services were
wanted, deserted to the enemy. But the active
operations of the past few weeks, and the mex
orabe sternness with which every officer is
stricken from the roll who has any qualms about
his duty have purged the service. The army
and the navy, at last, are Differed by men who
are loyal to the flag, and who, when they receive
orders, will execute tn IN. The whole of this
experience on the part of the administration,
gives additional illustrations of the utter lacl,

Capt. Butter6ivll, Of the Eighth Ohio

and required both spurs and whip, which
tho Captain had provided himself. with,

old sorrel and his brave rider, and in a few
minutes up came the gun: Its position

but the Captain came rushing back, in

or something else had made the old sorref
almost unmanageable, for in trying to
wheel him from in front Of the gun, the

spur the more the old sorrel would not 60.
This kept the gunners in terrible suspense

away, and it proved good shot, for it

old sorrel, frightened at the discharge Of
the gun, which had scorched his tail, and

Of protection a. any other rights. Nor il
it deemed that there is and probably laI
ways will be4a relation between labor and
capital producing mutual benefits, q Ths
error is in assuming that the RholeIahor
Of community exists within that relatio,ls,,
A tcw men own capital and that few avoid
labor and With their capital hire OF buy i
few to labor for them. A large majority
belong to neither class, neither work for
others or have others working for them.
In most of the southern states MAORI.
ty of.the whole people, Of all colols.-a ore
neither slaves nor masters while in the
northern, a large majority are, neither hi
rsrs nor-men with their families, wives,
sons and daughters, work for themselves,
on their farms, in their houses, and in
their shops, taking the whole products to
themselves, and asking no favors of capi-
talists on the one hand, nor Of hired labor
ers or slaves on the other. 1t is not for
gotten that a considerable number of per-
sons mingle their own labor with capital !;
that is, they labor with their own hands
aud also buy or hire others to labor for
them, but this is only mixed and not a
distinct class. Noprinciple stated is dis
turbed by the existence Of this mixed
class
Again, as has already been said, there
is net Of necessity any such thing as the
free hired laborer being fixed for that
condition for life. Many Independent
men, everywhere in these States, few
years back in their lives were hired labor
ers. The prudent penniltss beggar in the
labors for wages awhile and saves sur
plus with which to buy tools or land for
himself, then labors on his own account,
and at length hires another new beginner
to help him. This is the just, and gen.
erous, and prosperous system which opens
the way to all gives hope to all, and con-
sequent energy, progress, and improve
ment of the condition Of all.
No mon living are more worthy to be
trusted than those who toll up or on from
poverty, none less inclined to take. or touch
ought which they have not honestly earn
ed.
Let them beware of surrendering po-
litical power which they already possess
and which, if surrendered, will surely be
used to close the door Of advancement
against such as they, and to fix new disa-
bilities and burdens upon them till all of
liberty shall be lost.
From the first taking of our national CEN
srs to the last are seventy years, and we
find our population at the end of the peri
cd eight times as great as it was at the be-
ginning. -.
The increase of these other. things
which men deemed desirable has been
even greater. We thus have at one view
what the popular principal applied to Gov
ernment through the machinery Of the
States and the Union has produced in a
given time, and also, what if firmly main
tanned it promises for the future. There
are already those smong US who, : if the
Union be preserved, will live to SEQ it con-
