Naval Affairs.

The report of the Secretary of the Navy
states the force in commission to be eighty
two vessels, carrying upwards of 100 guns,
besides several steamers and other small
craft, temporarily in service. Twenty three
gun boats are contracted for. Since the
4th of March two hundred and fifty nine
officers have resigned and been dismissed.
The report recommends the appointment of
director of ordnance, to have the super
vision of the details of that branch of the
service. Also the appointment OF board
to Inquire into the expediency of building
iron clad steamers; also an increase OF the
clerical force of the Department; also the
appointment of an Assistant Secretary.
The estimates for the service are $50, 800,
$40,

The CLERK AT EPHEsUs. Military men
all agree in commencing the movements of
General Scott as wise and discreet. 1t will
do to cry, On to Richmond" but who
would have the important advance maze
without every proper precaution ? Cotton
Mather used to say there was gentleman
mentioned in the nineteenth chapter of Acts
to whom be was more deeply indebted than
almost any other person. And that was
the town clerk of Ephesus, whose counsel
was to do nothing rashly. Upon any pro-
posal of consequence it was usual with
Mather to say, Let us first consult with
the town clerk of Ephesus." Those who
are necessarily urging the precipitation
OF our troops upon Richmond and other
southern cities, and who seem anxious to
instruct the experienced hero of Lundy's
Lane and Mexico in his long life business,
ahould consult with the town clerk OF Ephe,
sus, and learn the lesson so well improved
by Cotton Mather, sensbly writes the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Post.

To the Editors of the Pioneer and Democrat:
We have at last the Republican estimate
of the value of the Union as compared with
tie value of their platform. They are will
irg to sink 4OO,O0O,OOO of dollars and
100000 lives to secure the Union. They
were not willing to sink their platform to
do it last winter, although everybody else
was-even Davis and Toombs-if Mr..
Douglas in his speech on the second of
March told the truth. He acted with them
on the Committee of Thirteen, aud knew.
The Union is worth $40O000,000 and
100000 lives, but is not worth as much as
their platform, which was too sacred to be
compromised even to save the Border
States, much less the Union. The inexor-
able logic is therefore that the platform is
worth more than 400 100000 OF dollars
and 100000 lives, and more than the
Union. What will the people who have to
pay and die say to this? The polls are not
closed yet, even if the writ of habeas corpus
is suspended. UNION.

SUDDEN AFFLICrIoN family of Que
of our esteemed citizens, Mr.. Isaac Elliot,
was suddenly visited on the 4th, by bitter
sorrow. The burning fragments of an ex-
ploded FIRE cracker, lying on wheel bar
row, on which their little daughter, a
most charming child of ten years old, sat
down unwittiugly, fired her dress. With
heroic presence of mind, and an affection
which to parent is among the compensa-
tions of such a sorrow, her brother next in
age to her, seized with his bare hands the
blazing dress, and while be called for help,
in part succeeded in extinguishing the
flames. The sequel is soon told. Father
aud kind neighbors rushed to share the lit
tie fellows heroism and the sufferers pain,
but the work was done. At eight next
morning, after night of heroic gentle pa.
thence, the sweet sufferer rested to suffer and
to fear no more.

The Presidents Message.

This important document was issued from
this office in an extra Sunday evening, and
distributed to a portion of our readers.
We republish it in corrected form on
the next page.
We have no disposition to criticise the
general character of the message, but have
cause to regret that at this critical period
in our history the writing of so important
paper was not committed to more Wig.
orous and practical hand. Now, more than
ever, does the world expect, and will seek, a
clear and forcible statement of the princ-
piles of our constitution and the theory OF
our government.
The principal feature of interest to the
people of the North is the call for four hun
dred million of dollars and four hundred
thousand men, which, il the necessity be
fairly demonstrated in the reports of the
Secretary of War, will undoubtedly be ac-
quiesced in with few dissenting voices in
Congress or among the people ofthe loyal
States. Upon this point we quote the re-
marks OF the Chicago Tribune:
No war ever yet waged has cost s4O0, 0Oo 900
in single year. The British army of 2l2,773
men, embracing an artillery force of 1873
men, and cavalry to the amount of Is, I'll men
scattered in the colonies, embracing India
and the Chinese acar--cost only SIC, $40, 734,
during the last fiscal year, of which eXpendi-
ture Sill 900, 900 was paid in pensions. The
French army numbers 100000 soldiers. of
whom 76, 903 are cavalry, and the artillery
2S529 The annual cost of this force is only
$S7 .774l77, OF which sl6,0O0,OO0 is paid in
pensions.
OF course the original equipment of these
forces is not embraced in the above state
ments, but it is difficult TO see how they can
be more than double the expense of maintains
ing the entire armies whole year. We do not
assume to be wiser in the matter than the Off
Ger who is responsible for the figures presented
ia the message, but we cannot repress the
thought that the Secretary of War has made
his estimates on a basis about twice as large
as any existing facts can warrant. The cost of
maintaining the Navy is about $40 600, 900 per
annum, when the vessels are kept abroad on
expensive stations. 1t seems that $40, 600, 900,
or $50 600, 900 at the outside, ought to be sufi.
cient for present purposes for that depart
ment. The remaining 1915, O00,0 600 is proposed
to be swallowed up by land operations.

LETTER FROM COMPANY A.--THE BOYS ALL
RIGHT.
CAMP GoRMAN, NEAR ALEXANDRIA,
July 4th, 1861.
We arrived here yesterday, in tip top
health and spirits. We have surprised the
whole country down here with our gallant
Minnesotians. 1 don't think there has
been single regiment in Washington yet
which has received one half the praise that
we have. We are considered the fnest
regiment that have arrived in Washington,
both by civilians and military men. Our
marching and drills has completely taken
the wind out of the sails of some of the
crack regiments now here. Well, I must
change this to the more interesting part.
This morning Capt. Adams Company 81,
were ordered off to guard the railroad and
telegraph station, about four miles from here.
A picket arrived about an hour ago bring
ing the joyful news of the Minnesota boys
having a small brush with some rebels,
killing two, wounding five, and capturing
fifteen horses. Bully!
The regiment has received marching Orr
ders for to morrow night, July 5th, towards
Big Bethel, or Falls Church. Six regi-
ments will go with US, and we will be joined
by two more, four or five miles from here.
We are now encaInped with the 5th Mas
sachusetts, Ellsworths Zouaves (freman)
4th Michigan, and 9th Peunsylvania--all
good fellows, and perfectly rampant to get
shot at something in the shape OF a
bona fde j" sesesher." Look out for the
F. F. V.'s--First Fighting Volunteers.
We will come out with honor or enrich this
poor "sacred soil" with our carcases.
Kindest regards to all friends. In haste,
double quick Excuse all mistakes, &c.
Truly yours, &c.

The American Revolution i'm Europe.

The American Revolution in Europe.
The London Times, in an article specu
lating upon the probable course of events in
America, says:
The energy the Free States have displayed,
the great number of men they have raised, and
the good material of which their army is com.
posed, are beyond all praise. 1t is easy to see
that great deal of their irritabilty toward
England arises from feeling that justice has
not been done to their patriotic spirit by public
opinion here. Looking, as every American
does, to the opinion Of England, they have
been mortified at finding that an effort which
they feel to be worthy of admiration has been
are that we are bound to refrain from enthusi.
asm for their military ardOr, when the object
of it is to crush those with whom we are as
much in relation as with themselves.
The Paris Potrie has published a semi.
official statement announcing the probable
establishment of relations between
France and the court of Turin, und the
consequent recognition of the new italian
kingdom. This statement was afterward
copied in the Moniteur, and is of peculiar
interest to America, on account of the in.
situation conveyed in the following para
graph:
France, by her new attitude, would not pre-
tend to interfere in' any manner in the internal
or external affairs OF the italian kingdom.

II would act toward it as one day the great
European Powers will act in the American
question, by recognizing the new Republic of
the Southern States, when that Republic shall
have constituted government on basis
which will allow international relations to be
entertained with it of advantage to general in.
terests.
The publication of this in the Moniteur
was significant, for nothing appears in that
sheet which has not received the Imperial
sanction. But the telegraph yesterday in-
formed us that it had been explained to
Secretary Stewards satisfaction. Prob

A. we remarked few days ago, The views and
sentiments OF the Southern Rights party in this
city will not be indicated by the result of days
election. No candidates representing the policy
which that party advocates are soliciting the votes
of the citizens of Bal imore. Under these circum
stances very many Of those who are thus precluded
from eXpr'ssing their opinions through the ballot
box have determined 10 abstain from going 10 the

reasons which have brought many individuals to
this conclusion we should regret il anv consider

to pursue the same course As Messrs, NAY and
Preston on the one hand, or Messrs DAVIS and
LEARY on the other, will certainly be returned to
Congress, those persons who differ radically from
each and every one of these candidates have
nothing to gain by refusing to participate in the
election. On the contrary, they have much to
lose, for they will be suhjeced to the eravest
