THE NEW GUNBOATs.

The first of twenty-three new gunboats now
launched Saturday. The following description
will be found interesting:
Thouch nominally gunboats, the size, strength
and armament of these vessels place them among
the first-cass ships of war.
They are TO be OF equal dimensions, and as
nearly similar as it is possible to make them.
The extreme length is one hundred and sixty
six feet, the width twenty eight feet, and the
depth OF hold twelve feet. The timber is mostly
of white oak, and the knees, braces and iasten-
ings are OF the strongest and competest dcscrip-
ton. The draft OF water t ia calculated will be
about nine feet.
The armament will consist of twelve 32 poun.
ders, with pivot gun amidships-probably q
columbiad of the heaviest description. A small
Ter pivot gun may be placed on the forecastle
deck
Tire vessels viii be schooner rigged and pro
PEELED by two screws, driven by two back-actior
engines, with thirty inch cylinders, each com
plete in itself. An auxiliary engine will also bs
on board. The speed to be obtained from ,h.
steam power alone is reckOned to be fourteen o.
fifteen knots an hour. Thus these vessels vii
be faster than any other war craft ahoat. Tn,
speed of the English gunboats is scarcely NOR,
than nine knots.
The complement Of men required is under
stood to be less than two hundred, though
that number might be advantsgeously EN-
ployed.
! In less than two months, probably, the gov
ernment will be in possession o. the whole nun
! Der of these vessels-;he best and most effectiv
OF the class ever built.

NATIONAL HYNS-The Committee upon a
Prize National Hymn report that they received
nearly ] 200 manuscripts in answer to Their call,
of which about one.third furnished new music as
well as words. To the examination and COM
parison Of these, the Committee addressed them
selves at the earliest moment, ard gave to the
task very much more time than they supposed
that they would be called upon to give. Every
manuscript received was opened in Committee,
read and duly considered. Every musical COM
position was performed once, and those found
sufficiently meritOus TO be worthy Of more care
fll examination were heard in solo and chorus.
With comparatively few exceptions, the hymns
sen, in proved to be OF interest ony to their wri-
ters as rhymed expressions Of personal feeling or
fancy. Ofthese exceptions many were excluded
from special consideration as being purely devo-
tiOnsl, or because they were written either 10
the national airs of other people, or to those in
certain vogue with Us, the acknowledged insult
fciency of which was the reason for the appoint.
men' of this committee After careful and re.
peated consideration Of the remainder, the Com.
mittee are unanimously OF the opinion that, al
/ though some of them have a degree of poetic
excellence which will probably place them higt
in public favor as lyrical compositions, no one o.
them is well suited for National Hymn. They
/ therefore, make no award.

GEORGE \. SANDERS.

This somewhat notorious politician, 20 whose
knavish as well as to whose jolly eccentricit'es
political friends were wont 10 exercise a ques-
tionable liberation, has been brought in deaul
ter TO the Government to the extent OF S2l 900.
Sanders bad JOYOUS and seemingly good hear
ted element in his notorious want of principle,
which enabled him, though evidently uHlrust
worthy, to obtain offices Of trust. Strange sto
ries are told OF his doings in The autumn of 1885,
when he made himself in New York the head
and director of all the knavish expedients to pre-
vent the election of Fremont, and 10 secure the
election of Buchanan. He had his headquarters
at the New York Hotel. and there, :" his Il on a
throne of royal state" surrounded by bottles
of splendid hook and champagne, the imperial
bully sat dispensing stimulating hquits to his
subordinates. Nobody knew how he ob,ain his
money or acquired his right to command, but mon
ey he had in abundance and his right 10 command
was not disputed. There, with his shock of shining
brown hair, curling over the lowest of human
foreheads and the most impudent Of human faces,
he freely dispensed the influence which car
ried Pennsylvania for Buchanan, in spite of the
"Quaker vo.e." His reward was the Office OF
Navy Ageut in the city of New York /; but
George the President. maker. like Warwick. the
King maker had no respect for the official he
had elevated to power. He treated Buchanan
as his tool, instead of quietly subsdng into a
tool of Buchanan. His astounding impertinence
may be said to have eliminated at the Charleston
Convention, when he sent the longest and most
insoIent of all upaid telegraphic dispatches to
the Presidential once touching the latter pride
and pocket. He nsulted Buchanan in he coar
sest manner. and at the same time made him pay
COR every Insulting word at the rate which the
Directors of the Telegraph only charge to ndi
viduals. After this grand audacity, Sanders wa.
necessarily bothered TO find any field for the e1
ercise of his peculiar talents which could advanc,
his reputation. Ee seized, however, on the
question of secession, hoping, by the most non
sensical exsggeratiOn of the claims Of the South
10 over op the brazen impudence OF his telegraph
| dispa;ch TO Buchanan. But he failed The pub
| lie wondered as well as laughed at his insult u
the President of the United States; they laughed
and only laughed. at his championship Of Davi
and Tcombs. He is at present settled at Louis
vile, preaching rebellion against the Gove-nmen
which it is now discovered he has swindied.-
