Our Navy Department is accommodating
vast stores Of white oak suitable for the
construction Of fifty gun ships. In con-
sequence of the absence of pitch pine,
which can only be obtained from the
Southern ports, the new vessels will be
built entirely Of white oak, except per-
haps the deck-planking, which may DO
of white pine. The keelsOns, beams, car
lines, and some of the ceiling, which
heretofore were Of yellow pine, will be Of
oak. Nearly 10000 tuns have been con-
tracted for.
We learn that our naval contractor are
in favor of having the foundation of the
iron cased vessels of white oak rather
than of iron, because they can be built
more rapidly and at less expense. IL is
not generally known whether the new
sea-gOing vessels will have turrets of GU
pulas like the Monitor, or whether they
viii be partially housed over like the
Merrimac.
The steam frigate Roanoke has had her
spar deck removed, and will be cut down
still lower; her outside planking will be
backed by inches of white oak to feet
below the line of flotatiOn, and will be
plated with iron four and half inches.
The Bureau of Naval Construction are
said 10 be in favor of having the largest
ships built Of wood, of light draft, high
speed, and shell proof; their ornaments
TO be of the heaviest kind, principally
Parrot and Dahlgren guns. Recent ex-
periments, both in this country and in
England, have demonstrated that the
heaviest iron armOr which ship can car
ry is not proof against smooth bored ord
nance at a short range.
Our parrot gun, with a newly invented
shot, which we are not at liberty TO de-
scribe, has sent it completely through a
target formed Of twelve One-ince iron
plates and a backing of "a inches thicks5,
ness of oak, at distance or 800 yards.
At the same distance, another target
sloped TO an angle Of 20 degrees, repre-
senting the side of the Merrimac, backed
by "a inches of oak covered with six
one-inch iron plates, was completely per-
forated by every shot.

Let us all lay aside forever old pre-
iudices and predictions, and devote
all orr energies to cleaning out the chan
nels Of justice, now obstructed by the
perjury and baseness Of Gov. HARRIS,
and make She clear waters Of law and
order flow through them, and once more
gladden. the Commonwealth. The State
remains the same in all her powers, iu-
risdictiOn and resources, the laws are
the same, the same offices are TO be
filed as Of yore. II is a duty which we
owe to our families and society 10 pro-
vide for the regular administration Of
justice. There is but one way Of doing
this, and that is for oil TO aid in restor-
ing the supremacy of the Federal Gov
eminent over Tennessee. The moment
this is done the State administration will
resume its usual path He who stands
back at time like this from the cause
Of the Union, lends his influence TO an
arehy and despotism. Such one is
branding his own brow with the name
of traitor, and will forever debar himself
from all hope of honor and promotion in
the future. This is a critical time in
the fortunes of men. Oh for a few more

were on The point Of recognizing and
helping them, and that the Confederacy
would in few months make its scrip aud
bonds as good as gold. He was assured
by rich merchants, who had lucrative
contracts Of various kinds in the Con-
federate army, that he would not only
be well and promptly paid If he would
join that service, but that the wealthy Sc
ccssionists of Nashville would support
his family literally. COnhding in these
lavish promises and seeing no other
means of providing for his family he
Joined the army. Not long after he died.
His eldest son also had his hand shot of,
we believe, by the premature expulsion
Of cannon, and the widow had now to
rely solely on the charity Of her fair
spoken friends. But they were not TO
be found If they met her it was with
cold and aveFted looks, and she found no
admission into their luxurious parlors.
A Union man kindly gave her house
rent free for some months. She win now

Who shall furnish il? We copied few
days ago several advertisements signed
by rich and active rebels of this city,
originally published in the Nashville
LEsito4i ard AaierioGr, Offering houses free
10 the families of Confederate volunteers.
Now let these'men be forced TO make good
their promises, and furnish this poor
widow with comfortable house. They
murdered her husband and reduced her
TO penury, and before God they stand
guilty of fraud, robbery and murder.
we ask Governor johnson in the name Of
The deceived ind suffering victims Of this
wicked rebellion to interpose in this in
stance in behalf of widow and nine
little children. Let her be provided with
a. house even though some luxurious
maker of false promises be forced to leave
his stately mansion Of sfiluence and ele-
gance.
We learn since writing the above that
the Governor has referred this case to
Mayor SMITH and the City Marshal, and
we are informed by these officers that they
are determined that the rebel leaders
shall fulfill their promises TO the letter or
suffer the severest consequences.

been compelled 10 notice it, and issue an

so kindly refer, has given so much satis-
faction amongst your countrymen. IL

"At this moment there is here the ut
most tranquility in regard TO American

processes sympathy for the South My own
clear opinion is that an Overwhelming ma
yority Of the English people would rejoice
greatly at The complete success Of your Co..

that you viii not fail to fix an incurable
wound in the grand evil which has been
the one cause of your troubles.
We are interested in The proposition
of the President to compensate the States
which are willing TO give up their slaves,
and hope il may produce q good effect,
though il is very difficult for men who

WHAT CUMBERLAND GAP Is.-For the
information of those who have believed
that the Cumberland Gap is narrow
passage between two mountains, we give
the annexed extract from letter written
at the Gap:
Cumberland Gap is not as many suppose,
an opening between two large mountains,
bat simply road over a mountain, and this
road is called q gap--a place where wagons
travel over towards the valleys upon each
side. This Cumberland Gap is the main
stock road from Kentucky, Virginia and
Tennessee, aud It is called by some turn
pike FOR about tweniysx miles from here
is toll gate, where all persons pay for The
privilege Of travel--a turnpike not OF plank,
OF earth. but rocks, sharp pointed rocks, aud
hence conclude every blacksmith can max
fortune in five years shoeing horses in this
country.

A case Of suffering has recently been
reported 20 us by the highest authority,
which illustrates in q striking manner
the hehrtless deception practiced by
wealthy rebel leaders upon the poor and
friendless. More than a year ago a poor
laboring man named Jennings, having a
wife and a large family of children TO
maintain by his daily toll, found himself
out Of work in this city, and his family
on the verge Of starvation. The rebel
lion had almost wholly closed up all ave-
nues of business, and want Of the most
frightful nature stared him like a hungry
wolf in the face. In this situation he
was pressed by active rebels, men Of
wealth in this place, to enlist in the Con-
