The Stevens Bonn Proof Battery.

It is stated that during the last visit
Mr.. Edwin A. Stevens to Washington. be
obtained a promise from the Navy De.
partment that measures should be I'm me :
diately taken with a view to complete the
famous Stevens bomb proof battery, now
ivips at Hob6keD. A commission
will be appointed, and, after examining
the proposed plans and the work thus far
com pleted, will decide upon their merits.
It is claimed that this battery could be
used without doubt successfully, to re-
take Fort Sumter, and would rot mind
the assaults OF the small land batteries it
soald be obliged to pass. Owing to a
peculiarity ia its construction it can be
raised or lowered in the water at will,
aud when going into action only about
seventy feet of bcr is exposed to the fire
of the enemy. On crossing bar, or in
shoal water, she can be sunk so that only
her working battery will be above water
As for as criPpling her machinery is con-
cerued, that is next to sn impossibility.
The battery will have two independent
acrcws. Her armament would consist OF
'ifed guns of the most approved pattern,
and OF much larger calibrc than those
uow in use. Thus armed and protected
she might defy dozen batteries, and if
called upon to engage iorti6cation OF
10 asonry, it would be question Of short
time, in regard to preaching its walls and
the enemy TO retreat. Mr..
Stevens has strong hopes that the COM
mission aill urge upon the Government
to push the work forward, aud in this
hope The public coincide. The New Jer
-cy Legislature have memorialized the
Secretary Ct the Navy, and it is thought
the matter will be brought up 10 the CON-
ing session Of Congress. 1t will take a
boat four or Eve months to complete thi,
gork. which will cost about 81 ,0O0 600

Another Case of Secession.

The Washington Republican has thi;
paragraph:
The wife of the Hon A. r. Boteler, a
member of the last Congress, from Har-
per's Ferry district, tut now Secession
leader, has seeded from her husband and
gone to the more congenial atmosphere OF
Hagerstown where she will probably re-
main until her husband gets over his Sc
cessiou proclivities. 1t is said that, as
she left him, she remarked that "as soon
as he came back into the Union she would
join him"
Mrs. BoteIer is of New Jersey stock,
her ancestors having been Sussex county
people, and noted fer their activity in be-
half Of Independence during the Revolu-
tionary era Her love for our gallant
little State has been egneed by the care
with which she preserved certain valuable
papers Illustrative of the status OF Sns
sex, 10 Revolutionary times, aud Der 90

Farmers and the War.

the peaceful industry Of the coia % Gnity
was directed to this end. 1t would sim
ply be necessary to divert the labors Of
those who are bow engaged in u aking
superauous Injuries, to the production Of
food and clothing. This diversion of Ia-
Dor will be gradually effected by q de.
cline in the price of uxuries AMI az ad-
vance in those Of the necessaries Of life.
This already begins to besfelt; while
works of art, books, jeWelry. &c. are Of
very slow sale, the eoarser styl les OF wool
lea cloths aud satinets have advanced
some 3O per cent in price ia such colors
as are adapted for military purposes. If
the community is intelligent, they will
anticipate this change in the market de-
mand for articles, and will. by prudent
forecast, save US from a scarcity Of pre-
ducts absolutely essential to existeuee.-
This applies with especial force to far
mers. Let them BOW their seed With per.
feet confidence that there will be GER
tain demand for their crops, which will
bring better prices than ia preceding
years. Above all things. let us not baye
