Burning a Ship under the Guns Of Fort
CaBWell.

The Navy Department has received despatches
from Commander Glsson, Of the United States
steamer Mount Vernon, dated of Wilmington,
n C., giving an interesting account of the
burning Of light ship
Ilaving heard that the rebels made use of it
as "a beacon for guiding vessels in aud out of the
harbor, aud for the purpose Of annoying our
vessels by hoisting lights ut night, he determined
to take advantage of hazy night, with the wind
off shore 10 effect her destruction.
lie accordingly despatched a cutter under
command cf Acting Master Alcck Allen, with
John p. Foote, coast pilot, and a crew of five
men, and u gig under command OF Acting Master
Sturges and a crew of six men.
The boats soon got within short distance Of
the light vessel on the of side of Fort Caswell.
The two officers, boatswain's mate and II
quartormaster climbed on board by a rope which
was hanging at the side.
The lightboat was quite deserted. Carpenters
had been at work. The vessel was being pierced
for eight guns.
No attempt was make to molest the expedition
until they bud kiudled the fire, which eiiectualy
destroyed the light shir. The fort did not open
upon our boats until they we're clearly out OF
harms way.

nE WANTS TO FEEL EASY.

Nurse johnson in his Breckinridge-se-
cession sheet of Friday, recommends james
A. Bayard as a suitable person for Attorney
General of the United States, under Presi-
dent Lincoln. That would suit the nurse
exactly. He could then print and talk trea-
son to his hearts content, and have "friend
at court to defend him. Wouldn't the
nurse have "a high old time" if Mr., Bay
ard should happen to be so lucky? The
only drawback to his appointment however,
that we can see now is, that he aigtt hare
some private business at Montg9msry Or Richmond
sometime when his services would be most
wanted at Washington hence we think Mr..
Bayard will have to stand ont in the cold
yet awhile,

THE AMERICAN NAVY.

The Paris Journal des Debats publishes an
article on the American question, signed by the
Secretaire de la Reduction, which gives II
semi official character The conclusion is curl
Gus. II is as follows;
"Chanoe has thrown into our hands the diplo'
matic correspondence of NJ. Serrurer, who al
that period llSl2) worlhily represented Imperial
France at Washington. One OF his dispatches
contains an account Of q conversation he hau
with the President, who was the lustriOus
Madison, few days after the declaration OF
war. Among other observations, Mr., Madison
said TO NJ Surrurier, 'Alinister to the most
powerful potentate in Europe, you must think
us rash, and perhaps ridiculous, to look the
first maritime power in the world In the face
and to declare war against II with our 6,UOO
soldiers and our four OF Ave frigaies You may
see that we ate not prepared, and that we have
nothing TO expect but blows for some time ai
least. And nevertheless, we did uot hesitate,
for had we waited until we were ready We should
never have done so. But with us the foundation
is better than the suriaee-you will admit that
in time. 1t remains for us TO become maritime
mower, to which we are invited by our immense
seac0ast, our excellent ports, our spirit OF navga-
linn ani commerce, and even England herself
by her iuIerminable injustice. AZ the conclu-

the present period America came out OF the
struggle Of 1872 with honor. She gained the
last victories even on land, where at first she
had experienced hnmiating reverses. II is
certain that Mt the commencement Of the next
war, if there had been one, the would have
found herself almost ut the same point as TO

irgates But it is more certain Al present than
at that period to predict that America al the

franchise to the State. The written opinion
of Messrs. Smithers and Comegys also ac-
companied the report
The ground taken by them was, that the
failure of Richard France to pay the install
ment of eighteen thousand dollars, due on
the first day of July, rendered the grant
voidable merely, and not void and that TO
deprive him of the privilege vested IN MN
by the grant it was necessary that the lie
rislature should declare the resumption oil II
by the State.
That the reception of the instalmen'
above referred to by the State Treasurer ana
the disbursement of it, would not operate as
waiver of the forfeiture on the part oi the
State. inasmuch as it was debt due aud
