MARITIME warfare.


The Rsienee Of maritime warfare mutt
hereafter, be transferred from the Navy
Department to the Patent Office. Our iron
plated vessels appeared to be reaching the
extreme perfection Of impenetrable arm0r,
and the Monitor had taught its lesson to the
world, when Mr.. Duffy, at New York,
claims to have perfected an invention
which viii Immediately sink any iron
sheathed vessel Experiments were made
at Jersey City last week with his newly
projected gun, which is intended to be
placed in the prov Of a ram, at any depth,
from one 10 twenty feet, under water. On
this occasion O small boat ten feet in length,
Of capacity to carry two or three men, was
provided with 3 gun that projected from
the bow about two feet below the surface.
Bymeans Of q spring It was discharged by
concussion with . target, the boat rowing
at very moderate speed.
This target was composed Of two three
inch planls with o space between them rep
resenting the ordinary thickness Of a yes-
sells sides. The ball perforated both and
vent through the side Of an old barge
against which the target was Suspended
Mr.. Duffy claims that the PARROT or any
other large bore gun can be discharged in
the same manner The muzzle projects
through packing, and when it is drawn in
to be loaded, valve falls to prevent the ad-
mission Of water. From these expert
ments, which were decided success, it is
evident that we have the germ Of q process
by which vessels can be attacked below the
water line, and beneath their iron-plating.
This must lead to q new style Of Earfare,
and, should the theory Of Mr.. Duffy prove
correct no vessel that floats can stand the
attack Of 8 small submerged ram, carrying
a gun Of large calibre, which would make
a hole in a ships hull large enough to ad-
nit q mans body, and would send her to
the bottom in ten Enthusiastically Jour

WASHINGTON, July >, 1907.
A little light is breaking in upon what
has been dark, connected with late army
operations. And as, by the maxim, it is
required that every one should be given
his due it becomes duty to state that GER
tain responsibility for the late disaster to
McClellan's army, which has been put
upon Secretary Stanton, really rests upon
other shoulders.
It has come to be known that on the Sun
day preceding the seven days conflict be-
fore Richmond, that is, June 22d, an order
was issued by the War Department to Gen.
Mcdowell, to advance his army Of about
10000 men from fredericksburg to the
right wing Of the army Of Mcclellan, and
cooperate with that wing in the then pro-
iected attack upon the enemy, and assault
upon Richmond How timely was this or
der, and how effective its execution would
have proved, is now most obvious. The
force Of Mcdowell would thus have arrived
at McCleilan's right the evening preeed-
ing the first rebel assault. The flank
movement which lost our army so much,
would thus have been met by a force that
would have entrapped and conquered the
enemy, and opened up the way most sue
cessfully for the march on to, and the cap
ture Of, Richmond. Oh, how unceasing
must be the regrets that this was not done
--that the order referred to was not carried
cut and Why was it Dot2 That this Is net
TIE faux Of Sserstary Stanton, deserves to be

stoned by the strange and mysterious
charges put forth few days since by the
Louisville Journal:
MAJOR GENERAL MITCHELL-DEAR SIR ::
Your attention is hereby called to an ex-
tract from the Louisville Journal, of the
10th inst. Those Of US who know you
personally know that the charge is utterly
false. The world needs only your denial,
under your own signature.
Yours, very truly,

WASHINGTON, July IA.
To Hon. B. F. Camp
Ihave your note Of the 18th inst, call
ing my attention to an editorial in the
Louisville Journal Of the 10th, in which
am charged with conduct, not only injuri-
Gus to the Government but disgraeeful to
humanity. AS there is no specification in
this charge, can only pronounce it to be,
in the broadest sense, unjust, unfOunded,
false and calumnious. Ibave never in all
my life done an injury to any human be-
ing. As to deeds of cruelty and guilt, my
nature revolts at both, and my countrymen
can never be persuaded that I have been
guilty of either. l demand the speeifca-
tons, pronouncing the charges utterly and
absolutely false.
Very respectfully, your obt sery't
