Our EAST INDIA SQUADRON AND SECESSION.
The Washington correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press says:
Some complaint has been made in certain
quarters that Commodore Stirling, COM
mander of our squadron in the Chinese
waters, was recalled, and Commander Cap
tain Engle put in his place; and this cora-
plant has grown greater since the news of
Commodore Stribling's speech to his crew,
in favor of the flag, when he heard of the
difficulties growing out of Secession. The
action of the Government in changing Euple
for StribliDg was undoubtedly produced by
the fact that the son of Commodore Strib-
ling had gone over to the Confederates and
that 1t was better to take time by the fore
lock and prevent trouble than to trust to con-
tiDgeDcies.
When Commodore Stribling has returned
and reported, he will, no doubt, be duly
honored for his loyalty, and will give credit
to the Government, which, in these dark
times, is compelled to act upon the idea of
preserving itself, and even sometimes to deal
harshly with its most loyal supporters, be.
cause of their Southern birth and connec-
tions. Several other cases of this kind have
latterly happened in reference to officers who
were born in the South, or who are married
to Southern women. One case is that of
Southern commander in the navy, whose
family had become so thoroughly Secession
that an order was issued for his arrest on his
arrival in the United States from foreign
station-but since his return he proves to be
so resolutely loyal that he has given his wife
the preference to come to live with him un-
der the flag, or to be separated from him for
ever.N

The REBEL TREAsURY-NoTEs If the Rich
mond papers are to be believed, the attempt
to force the rebel treasury notes into circu-
lation by compelling the banks to receive

GENERAL MCCLELLAN VIRTUALLY II SU.
PREME CoMMAND.-"0ccasionap makes the
following important statement, relative to
the Generslship Of the Army of the Potomac,
in his letter to the Philadelphia Press of the
llth inst;
An extraordinary Cabinet meeting was
held last evening, from half-past seven to ten
o'clock, at which Generals Mcclellan and
Mcdowell were present. General Mcclellan
stated his plans in detail, and he has, by con-
cent Of ell parties, assumed, not only nomin-
ally, but actually, the entire control of the
Army Of the Potomac. He will consult and
listen to the opinions and advice of General
Scott and other authorities, but he must be
henceforth left entirely to his own Judgment
and decision. Nspoleon.like, he hears the
opinions of others, but forms his own con-
clusions, and acts upon them. He asks this,
and it is ceded cordially to him To him,
therefore, must hence be credited the sue
cess, or charged the defeat of our arms.

Certain Duties

IF we come out of this great contest re-
specially, there are other duties besides
fighting to be performed. The expenses of
the war, every one Of them, must be met
promptly, and the express and implied obli-
cations that attach to the belligerent condi-
ton must be paid. To defrRud or deprive
those upon whom the labor of the conflict
may fall of that which is their due is wrong;
and no blessing can descend upon war that
is so conducted that unnecessary pain or
privation is inflicted upon those by whom
the fighting is to be done.
The soldiers who return among as, sick
from exposure or the fatigues Of the cam.
paign, speak of neglect and privation, such as
can not but awaken feelings of indignation
in the breast of the listener-occasioued, not
unfrequently by the ignorance or the care
lessness of those to whom their welfare has
been intrusted. Officers, who have had
plenty of time to learn their duty, appear to
have made no progress in that most neces
sary part Of their business-to see to the
health of the soldier while on duty, and to
provide for bis comfort when sick.
The families of the soldiers who have gone,
periling their lives for their country, should
be looked after, and the amounts which they
receive should bear some proportion to their
necessities Lett not be said that while we
are contending for the very existence of re.
publicanism, we are committing that sin
with which republics have been too often
charged-the sin of ingratitude.

REVIVAL OF MINING ENTERPRISE IN CALL
ToRNIA.-The San Francisco Daily Mirror Of
September says;
Attentive readers will not have failed to
notice the astonishing revival that has taken
place in the field of mining research, not
only in this State, but in Oregon and Wash
ington Territory, as well as in Nevada. New
companies are constantly being incorporated,
and prospecting parties are discovering new
and prolific diggings in many localities hith-
erto undisturbed by the gold-seeker. We
hear continually of rich strikes and heavy
yields, and occasionally rich nugget re-
wards the toll of persevering deliver. Some
companies are unearthing fortune at every
cleaning up. The mines of the Fremont es.
tate are yielding prodigiously. And all this
while the Union is in the midst of a civil
war, and the fife and drum are heard in every
camp and village of the interior. The energy
Of the people of California is one of the most
remarkable facts of the age.

The Trustees of st. Johns College, Annap-

stitution last week, by declaring the seats of
al the professors, save one, vacant, for no
other reason than that they were Union men.
They immediately elected the one Secession
professor to fill the chair from which they
had deposed him. Thus the college is left
without a President or Faculty, and is vir-
tually broken up; the only mark left of its
former venerable name being a grammar.

A murderous attack was made on the

upon the three forts in the harbor of Boston
is about one hundred aud twenty. OF these,
eighty will be mounted at Fort Warren. A
pIoportionate number of these are of heavy

upon Fort Winthrop, and about the same
number upon Fort Independence, making the
full number Of seventy five upon the last

Dor will then be in good condition; but in
case Of emergency there is ample space upon
Fort Warren for nearly two hundred and
fifty guns. Although much smaller than
some Of the forts upon the coast, this fort,
from its position and the character of lis
works, is equal to any in its capacity for pro-

AFreuch Military Improvemeut

The Paris correspondent of the London
Morning Herald makes the following rather
wonderful statements:
The military preparations of the French
Government are going on with great activ-
ity. Experiments are just now going on at
VinCeDnes, with view to use common rif1ed
howitzers as mortsrs, by fixing them at a
very sharp angle, which enabled small shells
to be thrown some six thousand meters,
But these experiments excite but little at
tentiOn in comparison with O new invention
which has been tried with perfect success,
and by which foorHsoldier, in heavy march,
log order, is enabled to sOaEk on The wdter
acithout sinking 1t consists of pair of In =.
dia rubber boots and troWsers, all of one
piece, which are filled with air O little below
the waist, and heavily weighted at the feet.
with these troWsers on, a detachment has
frequently crossed the lake of Vincennes,
where the water is about fifteen feet deep,
firing their muskets, and loading as they
went. The men sink about two feet, the
water barely reaching the top of their thighs,
and appear not to have any difficulty in
keeping their balance and moving alone.
The experiment is to be repeated in the
presence of the Emperor, and there is not the
slightest doubt of its being adopted for the
army. The consequence of the adoption of
this system need hardly be pointed out.
Fancy on calm day at sea how easily it
would be to land three or four thousand
men, who would forthwith walk ashore aud
secure a landing for the rest OF the force,
For the crossing of rivers the advantage of
this system is still more obvious, and the de-
lays caused by the necessity for constructing
bridges or discovering fords would be done
away with. may add, as it is not improb.
able that a plan for making soldiers amp phib-
.ous may meet with some incredibility, that
can vouch for the accuracy of the particu-
lars given above, which have reached me
from military friend who himself witnessed
what l have attempted to describe. can
readily believe, however, that you will re-
quire ample corroboration.
