English and American Navies-On an
Equal Footing.

hQuul rOOtInRs
Speaking of iron war vessels, aud the res.
pective strength of the English aud Amerl-
can navies, an Eastern writer says:
1t follows that the naval power of great
nations must be reconstructed. The Eng
lish nation, already burdened with a taxa
ton wei! nigh intolerable, must prepare for
disbursements still more extraordinary.
The wooden walls, which have been the
strength and pride Of that arrogant gov.
ernment, behind whose defense she insult
ed and outraged nearly every people on the
globe, and trusting to which she has, on all
possible occasions, armed her vocabulary
of insolence at us, will now prove useless
az a bulwark TO greed and usnrpatioH. The
ringing of the wrought iron bolts Of the
Monitor against the quvering sides of the
Merrimac might well sound to English ears
like the knell of British naval supremacy.
The long accumuating navy of England is
rendered unavailing in the twinkling of on
eye, and we now start fair. She has one or
two iron-clad vessels. built at vast expense
aud clumsily designed. The advantage
upon her side, If any exists, is SO very trifr
ling that it is scarcely worth considering.
The superiority Of American ship-wrights
and mechanics has long been admitted. We
need never fear holding our own in these
branches of mechanism. 1t is thought by
those best qualified to Judge, that even in
our first inexperienced essay at iron-pat-
ing, we have produced piece Of work far
excellng those upon which England has
lavished so much of time and treasure. Ex.
periments recently made in Woolwicb de-
monstrate the fact that the armor of the
Warrior and the Black Prince is not invul-
nerable to the riaed projecties of Arm.
slrong's guns, and English mechanics have
asserted that the only effect of plate armor

ing from battery Of eight guns, two of
them being one hundred FOUNDER PARROTS,
and at the end of that awful fire the only
result discernable was the blazing of the
paint in two or three dozen places, the star
ting of "a rivet or two, and (enough TO prove
the tremendous momentum of the opposing
battery the breaking of wrought iron
bar in the pilot house, nine inches 10 thick;
ness. America seems not only TO Ee the
finest nursery of constructive genius in the
world, but also TO have the happy faculty
Of appropriating to her special uses the en-
est talent of other peoples. Fulton was an

SECRETARY CAMERON.-The following not
improbable story is related of the late Sec-
retary of War:
A Pennsylvania, now in the army, re-
lates TO us traditional anecdote OF the
Secretary OF War. which is probably as true
as the posthumOus stories of the juvenile
days Of great men generally are, and we
therefore put 1t on record for the benefit Of
the future biOgrapher:
II was the custom aforetime in Pennsyl-
vania for mothers to place an apple, sill
yer dollar and Bible before their children,
as soon as they were able to toddle about,
and with a mothers interest and satlsfac-
tion. watch them take their choice. 1t was
considered Indicative OF their more matured
predictions. In accordance with this Gus
tom, the mother of the infantile Simon, as
soon az he was able TO stand on bis pins,
produced the articles and set them before
the child. hoping in her heart be would sc.
lect the Bible. But no so with Simon. The
future Secretary Of War took somewhat
deliberate view, and with less reverence
than King Alfred, mounted the Holy Writ,
pocketed the dollar and commenced MUNICH.
ing the applet II is needless to add that be
has been at the business ever since.

Bogus Guns at CcuterviIlc.

The Washington National IntellIgencer
of late date. gives an account Of the wood
en- gun operations of the rebels at Center
vile, which were brought TO light by their
recent evacuation. That paper says
Human History contains no parallel TO
the military performances on the Potomac,
of which the finale is the bill pending in
the House, TO impose an annual internal
tax upon the people of this country, estima-
ted TO produce Que hundred millions of
dollars. When the facts are all brought
out and established 10y such evidence rs is
necessary TO inspire belief in what is appa-
rently so incredible, IL is not merely Amer.
lea which will be amazed Blundering so
stupendous will receive, as ii deserves. the
attention of the world. We obtained yes
terday, from a most careful and reliable
gentleman, for many years a member of
Congress, who had just arrived here from
thorough personal inspection Of Centerville
and Manassas, the following accounts:
Here follows a list of nine Notifications,
with fifty.four embrasures aud thirty y-one
wooden guns pointed terriGcally through
them:
The guns were pine logs, charred black,
with muzzles deineated with chalk and
properly prOtruded from the embrasures.
No real guns had ever been mounted. This
was the representation made by the negroes
aud the appearances inside Of the work
prove this representation to be correct. A
negro. who bad been kept at work for
months by the rebels, reports them as hav-
ing said that these pine logs would answer
just as well to "skeer the enemy"
or the number of the rebels, the highest
estimate obtained from the negroes was
10000 men. and this was predicated upon
the basis of 900 men TO regiment, which
is about double the actual fact. The bulk
Of the rebels were of Centervile, as appears
by the buts in which they lived. Our in.
formant says that the most intelligent per-
son he saw thought that the number at
Centervile was 10000.
The rebels had had at Centerville about
20 pieces of field artillery. The fortifica-
tiOns at Manassas, ia number, had been
mounted with real guns, and guns, too, of
good size and description. But, of course,
they were not formidable TO those who kept
out Of their reach, aud these works could
easily nave been passed on either flank, and
reduced by cutting off their communications
10 the rear, III direct assault was not
thought desirable. But the works at Cen
terville were a mere sham, built only TO
"skeer." and most admirably serving that
purpose.
II was for the nineteenth century, and for
this new world, that these performances on
the Potomac were reserved. The Old World
was too much exhausted, and former centu.
ries had not the necessary science and mon.
ey, even If they had the genius An army
nearly double that with which Louis Napo.
leon fought the battle of Solferino, held at
bay for nobody can recolect how many
weeks, by 81 wooden guns, is something
which mankind never saw before and may
never see again. Let us of the cotempora-
ry generation rejoice. that il has been our
pre-eminent fortune to witness it.

KILLING PEOPLE IN SIAM.-AmoDg The
charming customs of the Siamege people is
one which will particularly commend itself
to people who hate children aud are both
cred by noisy boys. Homicide in Siam is
punishable at a regular tariff of prices
Thus the penalty for killing babe of from
one to three mOntbs, is six 'ticul,' or $3.50;
for child of four years about $40; for a
boy Of fifteen about Sl5; and for man be.
tween twenty-six and forty years nearly
$50. Beyond the age of forty years the
penalties decrease, so that it is no more ex.
pensive to kill an old man from eigbty-six
to ninety years than an infant Of two
months. Women can be killed at two.thirds
Of the rates for men. Another pleasing GUS
tom is that which allows man to hire out
his wife to his creditor as q slave, and thug.
cancel his debt by means Of her toll.

HARD ON THE REBEL GENERALs.-Tbe
Memphis Argus, Of late date, referring TO
the conduct Of Floyd and Pillow at Fort
Donelson, says:
Floyd ran like moral coward from the
field, aud by bis disgraceful weakness caus-
ed the capitulation and surrender be lacked
the honesty to share, and by his example
sullied forever the reputation OF Pillow, by
inducing him TO forget duty aud but re-
member number One.' We bad intended

serts his command in the hour of disaster,

ample. published bis statement in utter dis.

their example, and enforce the military
law Of the land, which would meet to ali
due punishment for evil.

New Orleans.

II is estimated that there are stored in
New Orleans and on the neighboring
plantations 100000 hogsheads of sugar,
and 100000 barrels of molasses. The
specie in the Bank of New Orleans at one
time was said to be $15,O00,OOO This
money has possibly been conveyed away,
though where seems rather difficult to
imagine. The New Orleans banks to
some extent by coercion, but to some ex-
tent from sympathy, have been abettOrs
of the rebellion. The Mint is a very
fine granite building in the lower part of
the city, and was always, under the
United States authorities, well managed
Its machinery for coming having been
very perfect. One of the first acts of the
Rebels was to rob the Mint of specie and
bullion amounting to $4,000, which
was long ago expended No coin has
been struck under the Rebel Government
paper being, under its benign sway, a
legal tender The Custom House (unfin-
ished) is one of the finest buildings Of
the kind in the world. 1t has been over
fifteen years in construction, by which
means the Southern Democrats, under
Slidell and Benjamin, have had a large
number of employees in their service paiC
from the National Treasury. In This
building are the Offices of the United
States District Attorney, the United

institution, like those Of the Bank of

trust to another place. We wonder what

No Compromise.


We believe chat we speak ihe senu-
ment Of every sound Union man in
Tennessee, when we say that our Gov
eminent should not listen one moment
to any proposition for a compromise,
coming from the rebel leaders. We
hear rumors from various quarters that
some such offer will be made 70 the
Administration Let the reply be that
we will listen to no proposition from the
rebels save that OF unconditional and
immediate surrender, and a return to
obedience to the laws Of the land. We
cannot compromise away one jot or tit
tie of the laws and Constitution Of the
Union. They must be obeyed implicitly,
without reservation or abatement by all
sections. We will not treat with rebels
and traitors They know their duty,
let them perform it. Let there be
lenity and forgiveness for the masses
who have been deceived, and Danish
ment, Imprisonment and death for the
leaders, who have been the deceivers. II
the Government does less than this, it
will itself be guilty Of treason 90 the
