The Efficiency of the Navy.

The President has approved and signed
the bill to further promote the efficiency of
the navy. 1t provides that whenever the
name of any naval officer now, or who may
hereafter be in the service of the United
States, shall have been borne on the reg.
lister fortyaive years, be shall be retired
from active service, and bis name entered
on the retired list Of officers of the grade to
which be belonged at the time of such re.
tirement. The President is authorized to
assign any such officer to shore duty who
shall receive the shore pay of bis grade, and
to detail from the retired list of the navy
for the commands of squadrons and single
ships, such officers as he believes the good
of the service requires to be thus placed in
command, and such officers may, if, upon
the recommendation of the President, they
shall receive vote of thanks from Congress
for their services and gallantry in action
against the enemy, be restored to the active
list, and not otherwise.
The President has also authority to sc.
lect any officer from the grades of Captain
or Commander in the navy end essign him
to the command of squadron with the
rank and title of Flag Officer any officer
thus assigned to have the same authority
and receive the same obedience from the
commanders of ships in tie squadron hold.
iBg commissions of an older date than his,
that be would be entitled to receive when
so employed, the pay to which be would
have been entitled if he continued on the
active list: All officers retired under this
act are to receive the retired pay of their
grade as now fixed by law. The Secretary
of the Navy is authorized to cause 2OO me-
dals Of honor to be presented with suitable
emblematic devices, which shall be bestow.
ed upon such petty officers, seamen, lands.
men and marines as shall most distinguish
themselves by their gallantry in action and
ether seamen.like qualities during the pre-
sent war and that the sum of 81 900 is ap.
propriated for carrying this section into eff.
feet.

The Telegraphie News.

The late dispatches are not very full, and
contain but few matters of interest. The
most important are those from South Car
DINA. A feet of twelve gunboats had gone
up the North Edisto river, and a battle
was expected to take place between them,
with perhaps land force, and the rebels
under command of Generals EVANS, the hero
of Balls Bluff. The North Edisto is less
than ten miles from Charleston, q pleasant
mornings walk. 1t is hardly probable
however, that General SHERMAN has force
enough to attack the city yet, but is ats
tempting to cut off the communications Of
Charleston and Savannah, By Selling q
point on the railroad:

The British regiments designated for
service in Canada are those which rarely
recruit in Ireland, being known in the SER
vice as English regiments" from the fact
that they always have very few Irish or

TIE PRIvATEs IN THE SOUTHERN ARAY.-We do
not believe that the world has such material
as compose the rank and file of the Southern army
Napoleon never led drawer and better set OF men, In
many respects they are superior even to the vete-
rams of France for they are animated by higher mo-
tves and have made greater sacrifices. They have
left comfortable homes, where none of them ever
knew the want of one single thing necessary to
human comfort. Unlike the troops Of the North,
they have not been forced into the army to obtain
subsistence. On the contrary they have entered the
army voluntarily and given up the comfortable sub
sstence which they of at home for the pur
pose Observing their country They have lived upon
such food and dressed in such clothes they would
not have given to their own negroes they have slept
upon the bare EARTH and been exposed to the summer
and the winter SHOWS, for the pure and unseish
love of independence. They have not been animated
vulgar love Of glory, by any ideas OF conquest
and far less Of spois and rapine Many OF them are
men Of property not few Of wealth, and all accus.
toned to ease and comfort They are willing to
do anything, to endure anything, to dare anything
in defence Of their country. All honor to their
officers but their officers honor themselves most in
honoring their men. We feel no such reverence for
any class of men, in camp or council, as for those
noble men in the ranks, those noblemen Of nature,
who are fighting not for fame or gold, out for coun-
try, and Indifferent whether their names are ever
inscribed upon the records of glory that they do
their duty. But they will have their reward. Their

WHO ARE THE TRAITORS

One of the worst features in the whole matter is
that the men who are making money out of the
lives of their neighbors are generally those who
were most anxious to bring on the war-who were
going to pour out blood and treasure in the defence
Of the South and who denounced as traitors all who
did not readily come into their secession plans 10

man would have expected 70 incur their lasting dis
pleasure by offering to fight when the hour of trial
came-so anxious did they seem to have the credit
of breaking up the old government and building up
the new. But what q changer Now, where death
shots fall thickest, where carnage rides upon the
gale, where every rivulet runs with the blood of
freemen, there the old Union men are found, breast

MAJ. A. M LEwIs.-SIR: My son, Cameron Wad.
DELL, who is connected with the Bethel Regiment at
Camp Mangum, informs me that you recently treated
him with very great indgnity in your Office, threat
ening him with personal MISUNDERSTANDING on
him with stick-ordering him out of your Office,
and calling him "a contemplate puppy" This
statement is SO extraordinary, that though know
my son to be perfectly truthful yet preferred to
have the confederation Of some less excited, and
this have received from witness who was present
Now, Sir, there is no man of honor who could
expect such treatment to be passed unnotced, and
as my son is under age l feel it my duty, as his
protector. to require of you an explanation of your
conduct l ain at Yarborough's HOTEL and will
await reply at your earliest convenience.

RALEIGH, May 9Th, 1862.
SRI have before me your letter of the 7th
instant in which you state that you have been ill.,
formed that your son, Cameron Waddell, had been
treated by me with great indgnity in my Office
threatened with personal violence advanced upon by
me with a stick, ordered out and called contemp-
tibls puppy" You further state that no man Of
honor could expect such treatment to pass unnotced
and your is under age, you felt it your duty,
as his protector, to require of me an explapa-
ton, &c.
cheerfnly admit your right, as the father of Mr..
Cameron Waddell, to ask this explanation. By
regulation of this office, money due to military
officers not properly payable and demandable until
the end Of the current month. The application OF
your son was made few days before it was due
under this regulation although bis commission,
dating goth March, there had elapsed more than 3
month ut the time the application was made) and in
consequence was refused. Irritated, as suppose
he was by this refusal, he made use of al express
sion which charged that upon me as the result of
caprice which was in fact only compliance with
the regulations and instructions of the Office.
Cohceiving at the moment that this was an impu-
tation upon my personal character by stranger, 1
certainly resented it by language and conduct which
confess upon reflection excessive unjustifable
and not warranted by the language used by him,
and which was doubtless nsconstrued by me- |
know that spake passionately, but do not recol.
lect the particular expression to which you refer
being certainly improper, cheerfully disavow it.
Let. me assure you, Sir, that l am incapable of
doing you or your son any deliberate injustice or
wrong and if done in hasty passion regret it, and
being made sensible Of it, l will ever be ready to
make all amends. Trusting that this explanation
will be satisfactory, and regretting the whole occur

RAILWAYS REGULATING PILLS

Are the great regenerative medicine of the
age. Ladies for years the victims of depress-
ing, hte-consuming complaints of special
nature, are restored to health and vigor by
their use. All the ordinary affections of the
stomach, bowels, and liver, yield to the first
or second dose. Six Pills suffice in the worst
cases, and they operate in from three to six
hours, more effectually than 80 of the drastic
class given in such nauseating quantities.
Coated with sweet gum the Pills have no dis
agreeable flavor. They not only cure Costive-
ness quickly but permanently. and in bilious
ness they are infallible. Dyspeptics who have
suffered for years, recover in few weeks un-
der this painless operation. They act power
fully upon the circulation of the blood, rem
dering it uniform and equable throughout the
system. hiVe
