Sinking OF the Stone Fleet,

Davis, in his official report says: "Tn ali
this work | have been ably assisted bv
Commanders Gordon and Colds borough.
and by Lieutenants Commanding Stevens
and Balch. ard have derived much valu-
able Information aad important aid from
the skill, local knowledge. and zeal of
Acting Masters G. IL Bradbury and Mr
Godfrey, who acted as rilois, both Of
whcm arc worthy of your highest con-
idcnce."
Also, in relation to the active part Of
the expedition, Captain Davis says "On
tae night Of my arrival off Charleston the
lighthouse was blown up, by which oc,
currence the purpose of my visit was es-
scntiaIy promoted Afterthe bar had been
sounded cut, two ship were sunk. one on
the eastern aud one the western limit OF
the chauDcl, which served to limit the
field Of operations. After al! the ships
which were to DC sunk, sixteen in num,
ber had been brought here, and in a pc.
sllion to be easily moved, they were towed
in by the smaller steamers and placed
upou and inside the tar in a checkcred or
indented form. lying as much as possible
across the direction Of the channel in sew
eral lines, some distance apart, and they
are made 50 nearly TO orcflic each otter
that it would be difficult to draw line
through them, in the direction of the
channel, which would not be intercepted
By one OF The vessels,
Commander Davis states that he was
guided By several princi piles i'll closing the
place, and in the manaGr for sinking the
vessels, viz: First, The bar was selected
because it is the prnci pal and eliminating
point of the naeural deposit in this line.
BY adding the material contained in the
huIks 20 those already placed there by ma
ture, it may be expected that the natural
forces which aggregate the latter will tend
TO keep the former in their assigned posi-
tlon. Second. BY putting down the YES
sells in an indented form, 1t was intended
TO create material obstruction to the chan.
nel, without seriously impeding the flow
Of the water.
/ If it were possible to build a stone wall
across the channel, the river, which must
aow to the. sea. would undoubtedly take
another and similar path. But if, on the
contrary, the blockading of the natural
channe! is only partial, the water may re
tain Il part of it's old course and require
the addition only ola new channel Of small
capacity, Third. The mode Of sinking
! the vessels is intended to establish a com
binalion of artificial interruptions and il
regularities resembling on small scale
these of He'll gate, or Holmes Hole, and
! producing like them edd'es, whirlpools
and counter currents, such as render the
navigation of an otherwise difficult chan
nel hazardous and uncertain.

@-One year ago, when Maryland was
beset with the enemies of the country,
and when oue stout heart might have
saved her much blood. Gov. Hicks was
urged by men loyal 10 the Government
20 give his sauetion 10 the attempts Their
being made 20 save the State from the
anarchy aud ruin that has since visited 1t,
and to dscountcnancc the deeds of the
di.unionists. Weak and yascilating he
dared hot make loyal blow, but content
cd himself by changing his Unionism from
hot to cold as the chances Of Il successful
rebellion presented themselves. When 4
mans opinions are formed and their truth
tested bg experience, We do not complain
Of his not changing them at every adverse
breath, but when, as was the ease with
Gov. iiicks, the matter presented to him
was such as to presume that he had not
Us vet formed al opinion based upon ex-
pericncc or even the senbiauce ot truth,
and when as he was in duty bound TO do
he was called upon by the Constitution
Of the country 10 attempt to aIlay the
frenzy of those who were dragging the
State with them, his failing to attend
to the call both of duty and of law
proved that hc was either a passive in
strument in the hands of the rebels, CT
that his CHn heart justified him in cp-
posing what be had sworn to support.
But as the season changes and Nature
dots her ga:b Of white for her garb OF
green, so the Opinions-outwardly cx-
pressed-of this Governor changes. In
lis last proclamation 10 the Legislature
he urges all that which should have been
done last winter, namely: The putting
ot the State upon loyal war footing Using
the means for fllIDg the quota called foi
from the State, and appropriating all the
necessary means for the proper clothing
aud arming Of the Maryland troops.

When the General arrived in the neigh.

fight, he found that ZolIicofer had been

New Publications.

AMONG THE New Books, lately issued by
Ticknor & Fields, none are more worthy of
attention than the "Record of an Obscure
Man." and "a Tragedy of Errors" They
belong together, the first being preliminary to
the second. The Tragedy of Errors" is
thoughtful poem Of high merit, dramatic in
form, so far as to use dialogue and arrange the
story in several acts of expression rather than
movement. 1t is understood to have been writ,
ten by the "Obscure Man." whose history is
sketched in the first volume. Both books
however, are from the pen of an accomplished
lady, not unknown to the public, she having
some years since drawn attention by the great
learning and ability displayed in elaborate ar
ticles on Kossuth and the Hungarian patriots
that appeared in the Christian Examiner.
The books can be found at Holbrook's
THE PILGRIMS OF FASHION, by Kinahan
CORVALLIS, published by the Harpers, is an
English book of considerable merit. 1t is ar.
tisticaly constructed the style is pure and
scholarly /; the moral is healthful It abounds
in vivid descriptions of nature and life, and
the interest never flags from the opening to
the closing chapter, The scene is originally
laid in England, but is transferred to this coun.
try near the close. For sale at Mellen's.
Practical CHRIsTIANITY, by j. S. C. Alb.
bolt, published by the Harpers, is for sale at
Mellen's. Like everything else from the pen
of this writer, the book is easily read. The
style is very clear and fluent and the discus.
sions are made attractive by an abundance of
anecdote and illustration.
A STRANGE STORY, by Sir E. Bulwer Lyt.
ton, with illustrations, has been published in
cheap form by the Harpers, and is for sale at

respects, and may be classed with his "Zano-
nj" although quite different from that 'stranRe
story"
