His appointment Is commended generally by

THE Montreal Rerdzd earnestly looks to
the peaceable solution Of our difficulties with
Great Britain. The Herald says the tone Of
the American press looks fair and candid. 1t
thinks that commission Of eminent 1awgers,
chosen BY the two nations, could settle the
dispute in very brief period. To start with,
there should be diEagowa1 on our side ofany
intention to insult, and on the other side to
menace. The Toronto Globe also commends
the modcration and fairness Of the American
press. It thinks three months will be con-
sumed in the discussion Of the difficulties be-
| fore any results be reached.

It is none of our business, but Egypt is
quite disgusted with certain conduct Of Mi
chael z. Law1er, Of the 18th regiment, at
Cairo, and demands bis resignation on tie
alternative Of a disorganized command. The
Carbonda1e Times and correspondent Of the
Cairo Gazette take up the cudge1s against him
In labored articles. As we understand it, Col
Lawler forced his election originally under
flse prctences; offended the regiment by ap-
pointing John Olney Quartermaster also by
the appointing Of q Catholic priest to be chap
lain, while not one in ten or hundred were
Catholics; got his Lieutenant Colonel and
Minor into serape and caused their removal :;
arbitrarily appointed his son-in-1aw Captain
over company who had not chosen him;
also, appointed another stranger Captain over
company who had rejected him. The Chr.
bonda1e Times says:
The Colonel has lost the respect OF his men

From the Montreal Commercial Advertiscr.1
This swarm Of hornets, destined in case Of
war to play an important part in the contest,
consists of about 70 ,S;essels,. and is divided
into four classes. The first class, Of which
the FLYING Fish, one Of the Prince Of Wales's
squadron, was specimen, is composed OF
screw steamers Of 200 feet in length, md $50
horse power, and carry two 100-pound Arm
strong pivot guns, and four 42-pound Arm
strong broaaslds @ guns: m Ihe pivot guns sa arr arc
tween the tunnels. These boats arc very fast,
and draw about niue feet Then Light. The
crew IS 100 mcn.
The second class are $50 feet long, 200 horse
power, carry four 6sponnders, and the crem
The third elass are about 100 feet long, Of
60 horse power engines, armed with one Is
FOUNDER pivot gun, and two brass q FOUNDER
howitzcrs On the broadaidc. This class IS by
far the most numerous Of the fotfl1a, their
light draft, from 4 to feet, enabling them to
steam into shallow creeks and inlets, while
their formidable armament renders them ef-
fcctisc against the strongest forts, The
whole bulwarks arc provided with movable
| wrought iron plates, rifle proof, and reaching
! about seven feet above the deck, SO as to pTo-
| tect the men from the cneny's rlacmen, IN
| case OF having to force the passage Of mar
row rivers defended by sharpshooters.
The fourth class is also q useful hotllia for
| very shallow streams and close in-snora ser
| vice. It comprises vessels Of about 50 feet
| long, the engines averaging 20-horse power,
| cach boat carrying two 32-pounder pivot guns
anidships, the crew numbering tlirty-siz
hands, exclusive Of officers. The draft o1
I watcr, with stores, ammunition, provisions
and guns on board, docs not exceed 1-2 to
feet.
The whole hotil1a Is provided with high
pressure locomotive boilers, the place neces
sarily devoted TO the machinery rendering thi:
cApraient absolutely imperative to economist

power appears, the speed Of the feet Of gun

From n1tmbcr Of refugees which I have
met with at this pIace, I have gathered inter-
csting information concerning the fortidca-
tions Of the rebels On the Tennessee and Guns
brrland rivers. The only fortidcation on the
Tennessee River, Of much importance, IS Fort
Henry, situated near the line Of Kentucky and
Tennessee on the east bank Of the stream. It
stands in the river bottom, about the high
water mark, just below bend in the river,
and at the head Of q straight stretch Of
about two miles. Il therefore commands
the river for that distance down stream.
and very little else: The land around it Is = q
Little higher than the fort, and portion Of it
is covered with heavy timber. On the oppo-
site side Of the river are three hills command
ing The fort completely. The armament Of
the fort consists Of eight Sopounders, four II
Founders, and two 6-pounders. The 81 and
l2.pounders arc heavy guns, and the 6.po4nd-
r. on Thursday, the 12th inst, at which time
large lot of intrenching tools had Just been
brought tlither to be used in foftifying the
hills on the opposite side Of the river. :
