the old days Of na!al warfare In the galleys on
the Mediterranean sea, when the Ph0nicians,
Greeks, Romans, Carthagensans and vsnitians,
in turn strove for supremacy, the prows Of
their vessels were the most formidable weap-
ons they employed. Prows we're armed with
iron or brass, fantastic, perhaps grotesque, in
figure but terrible to destroy. The fighting to
leys that were best built and we'll handled,

ourselves fighting again with strange vessels,

OF the act abolshing slavery In this District.
One section contains defect pointed out BY the
fresident in his message accompanying his sig

guardian or husband, and those Who are officers
OF the army or navy 70 give their evidence in
writing, propsrly attestsd, 70 the Senate.
The Committee on Commerce have under con
alteration resolution enquiring what further
legislation u necessary on the subject Of vessels
seized BY the rebels and recaptured by our
cruisers. SAT- %
Senator Morrill, has proposed report and bill
which viii probably be adopted BY the Commit
tee. They are framed on the superstition that
the property In vessels seized BY rebels never
passed out of the original owners possession,
who are therefore, entitled to them on their re.
capture, free from oil claims from prize money
or salvage. rat. 49,
The members of Congress from Virgins have
been before the Territorial Committee of the
House with memorial praying for the admis-
sion Of West Virginia as State. Referred to
the Committee and talked over. The question
was presented and authorized . bill to be report.
ed admitting the proposed Stats~on condition
that her boundaries be changed 20 % to run the
line along the Blue ridge instead Of the Alleehe-

five instead OF three representatives., and on the
further condition that slavery be abolished
throughout the State forthwith, loyal masters to
