1t is well known that efforts are now be-
ing made to make Germany naval power.
A late European paper says that the cele-
brated historian Schlosser has refused to
give anything to the subscriptions which
are being made for the construction of a
German feet. have not" be said, 'stu-
died the history of nations and States for
sixty years without learning that fleet
cannot be created by charitable dona-
tions."
We commend this sound dictum to the
attention of those who suppose that war
can be carried on by irregular supplies, and
that the South, in spite of financial weak
ness, is able to carry on long struggle
against regular operations.

" His Grace, the Earl Of Shaftesbury.'

The telegraph has already informed us
that the Earl of Shaftesbury, the great
patron of English abolitionism, declined to
attend meeting at Exeter Ball to pray for
continuance of peace with this country
on the plea that it would be interpreted by
Americans as cloaked rebuke of the Eng
lish Government. Possibly another cause
influenced the declination of the noble Earl:
the apprehension that in praying for peace
with the Lincoln Government" he might
wound the virtuous sensibiities of his new
friends of the Slaveholding South. The
Albany Journal, upon information doubtless
received from Mr.. Weed, says:
The Earl of Salisbury recently remark
ed to gentleman who had a conversation
with him on American affairs 81, in
common with almost every Epglish states
man, sincerely desire the rupture of the
American Union. 1t has been the policy
of England to brook no rivalry, especially
in the direction of her own greatness. We
justly fear the commercial and political ri.
valry of the United States. With pop
ulation of thirty millions now, they will
soon, if rot checked, overshadow Great
Britain. We cannot look upon such a
monstrous growth without apprehension.
That the Earl of Shaftesbury speaks Of
a powerful class, there is too much reason
to fear. The influence of our Democratic
institutions upon the English masses, has
been a source of just dread to the aristoc-
racy. They have seen in that influence an
agent that was slowly but surely undermine
ing their own power. They know that if it
is not counteracted, their supremacy over
the destinies of the country will, if not
overthrow, be greatly impaired.
The fact cannot be disguised that the Brit
ish arlstocracy not only fear, but hate US
That they will do all in their power to
compress or overthrow; that they will
gladly strike hands with Southern rebels,
in the hope of breaking our power as a ma
tiOn that they will leave no stone untarn~
ed to bring our Government to an end
there can be no shadow of doubt. How
far they will be able to accomplish their
amiable designs-how far they will deem it
safe to drive twenty millions of free people
into war of self-protection-remains to be
seen.

The venerable Judge McCook, of
Steubenville, Ohio, father of the fighting
family" has now gone to Kentucky, rife in
hand, to pick off some of the secesh." He
has been all summer along the Potomac,
and has numbered his game by the scores
from WilIiamsport to Budd's Ferry. The
Louisville Journal, noticing his arrival, says
be has gone to the advance camp across
Green River, expressing great regret tina t
he missed the Munfordsville skirmish.

The Military Board for the examination
Of cavalry officers is still atwork. Nothing
is positively known Of its proceedings.
There Is reason to believe that the axe ID
kept rapidly in motion, and that officers Of
all grades, from colonies down, are its vic
Tins. Colonel Van Allen, the President of
the Board, has recommended to general Nc
Clellan the indiscriminate removal of all
colonies Of volunteer cavalry who have not
had military experience, and the appoint
ment in their stead of officers Of the regular
army. This recommendation is supported
by facts deduced from experience. 1t is
apparent to the committee that good COLI
onel makes invariably good company off.
GERS, and ultimately good regiment. The
volunteer cavalry regiments that have been
placed under command of colonies selected
from the regular army, however disorgan-
lied and undisciplined at first, are now
among the most efficient in the service.
This arm of the service, above all Others,
needs particular attention.

Spirit Of the Jack Tars.

The following letter from the sailors and
marines on the United States steam frigate
Mississippi,to Commodore Mex ean, asking
permission to participate in the attack on
Pensacola, will be read with much gratifi
cation, as it shows the patriotic spirit
which prevails in the Navy:
~. 10. 8. 8. MISSISSIPPI.
OF Pensacola, Nov. II, 1851.
SIR-We. the undersigned, petty officers.
crew, and marine guard of this ship, beg
leave most respectfully to express our most
earnest desire to participate in an attack upon
Pensacola. We entered the service with the
expectation Of active duty, and with trusting
hope of maintaining the reputation of this
good old ship and the honor of the glorious
stars and stripes. We have done good service
in bl0ckading duty We presume; we hope not
too much in being allowed to remain, or to
return in time. We shall most cheerfully
abide your decision. Signed by Chas. Smith,
chief b0atswain's mate, and IT'S others. All
hands would have done 80, but were prevent.
ed for want of time.
To Flag Officer, WIN. w. McKEoN,
Gulf Blockading Squadron
Approved. Capt. 7. O. SELFRIDGE,
U. S. s. Mississippi.
Commodore Mexican was compelled to
refuse the request, because the Richmond, u
owing to her light draft Of water, would
in the event of an attack be able to take a
position which rendered her entire broad
side effective, while the Mississippi could
only use her pivot gun.

Very little has yet been done in Con-
gress j. though more than has been usual in
advance of 1.-THE holiday vacation. The
state Of the country demanded that mem.
bers Ishould work, rather than talk Bun.
combe and thus, while very few bills have
passed, there has been prepared, in COM
mittees, large amount of business which
will soon be perfected, now that the hollis
days are over.l
There has been thus far manifest diss
inclination to press important matters to
vote and especially so, where the ques'
lions involved would bring the admins
tration and its policy to test before Conr
grees. At the opening of the session, there
was clear determination on the part of a
large traction of both Houses, comprising
the radical element, to force the President
into an entire change of policy. This ele-
ment had IAN appearance of great, if not
controlling, strength and, at first, it ap'
peared that the administration would be
obliged to succumb to its demands. We
believe, however, that the conservative ele-
ment has been steadily gaining power,
since the first week of the session until
now, little danger need be apprehended,
that the President will be left without a
clear majority in both Houses to sustain
the measures OF the administration.
President LINCOLN, however, will not be
permitted the enjoyment OF this majority,
without an effort to deprive him Of it, on
the part Of the radicals We look, there.
fore, now that the holidays are over, and
the real business of the session is about to
CONNIE nee, for stirring times in Congress,
for the month to come. Lines will be drawn
between the Conservatives and Radicals
the former heartily sustaining the policy
and measures of the administration, and
the latter opposing both to the extent that
their sense of safety will permit. There
have been marked evidences of bad blood
already, in both Houses; and these eviden-
ces will increase. in defiance of all the de.
mands of patriotism, until Congress shall
become as openly divided between Conser-
vatism and tRadicalism, as it has bereto'
fore been between Republicanism and De-
mocracy. And out of this struggle of the
conflicting elements, we do not hesitate to
believe that the President and his policy
will come forth triumphantly sustained.
