rErn IrcRnAsE OF TaE rAvr

A bill for the temporary increase of the Navy.
authorizing the purchase or hire Of saca vessSs
as may he necessary during the war 20 suppress
piracy and render efectaai the blockade, was
passed in the Senate yesterday, having previously
been passed in the House. To carry tbs Las
into effect, the sum Of $1,000 900 is appropiatsl
This measure comes not an hour too seon fhe

have been seized BY the pirates, and either d.
spoiled, confscated. or destroyed. And with Ne

lance on the part of the Government aessf
would have taken place, we have the dessructisu
of our West Indian and South American trsds,

now being able to obtain freight OF charter In
that quarter. Add to this the great depreciatisa
OF European freghts in American bottoms, wifh
the heavy insurance risks, and the importanes a
promptly aGording adequate protection TO Amexis
can vessels is apparent. Not an hour should bs
lost In taking the necessary measures; and 90
far ss the means are concerned. they are sbua-
dsot and already at hand. In this port siosss.
yesterday, were IL steamers, l29 sbips. iie
banks, lO5 brigs, and l50 schooners. Two of
the steamers were British, in quest Of csrgpos.

port Gdzetis, a paper which has been
AbolitioDist TO the marrow, declared Oh
Monday last that "rather than see our
glorious Republic dismembercd We had
rather the black pail Of slavery over
spread every foot Of its Territory"
The is the most remarkable political
conversion we have noticed among the
newspaper Press.
For entertaining and expressing just
such sentiments as this quoted from the
Gazette, that paper has been indnging
in the caIumny of calling US traitor.
Well, considering its being blinded by

From Alexandria

ALEXANDRIA, July ia deserter
from thee Confederate army was brought
to headquarters last night. He was
a resident of Madison, Indiana, named
VIM. r. Wilson, until last spring,
when he went to Louisiana, on Mis-
sissippi boat, to trade, and finding
himself in the midst of storm of Sc
cessionists he entered the Sixth Loui-
llama regiment, which was about leav-
ing for Virginia, and awaited chance
to get among his friends by desertion.
He found an opportunity yesterday,
VIII en- on picket duty near Bnrk's sta
ton.
He gives a very intelligent account
regarding the position of the enemy.
There were 2, 600 troops at Fairfax
station on the Orange and Alexandria
railroad yesterday morning, including
the Louisiana regiment. He is not
informed as to the number of troops
at Fairfax Court House.
An apival from the lower Potomac
brings information that regiment of
rebel troops ore encamped in the Vi
cinity of Acquia creek.

THE ORD DOMINION is once more
represented in the United States SEN
ate. The willy Hunter and pompous
Mason having gone the way of all
traitors, the loyal people of that State
have filed their places with good and
true men, On Saturday the creden-
tials Of Waitman T. Wiley were pre-
sented as the successor of Mr.. Mason,
and those of John S. Garlic as the
successor of Mr. Hunter. This CRATE
fnl Office was performed by Andrew
Johnson, of Tennessee. There was a
poetic propriety in this conduct of
Mr., johnson, for no one could have
been mora fttingly selected to intro
ducc the loyal Senators of Virginia
into the councils of the nation than
the loyal Senator from Tennessee.
We have no doubt but that Messrs
Wiley and Garlic will be admitted to
their seats.
