ATERRIBLE NAVAL ENGINE DISCOVERED
The Boston Traveller has letter from on
board the sloop of war Kearsarge, which has
one item of very important intelligence if the
writer's statement is reliable. The letter is
dated at Algesiras, Spain, Sept. eth, and the
the writer says =
''The officers of this ship have, within the
last three days, been electrified by aninvention
OF our first assistant engineer, JAS. w. Whit
taker, Esq, of Trenton, n. j., which totally
eciipSes any thing yet announced on the all
important topic OF iron-plated ships. For OBJ
vious reasons, am not at liberty, at present,
to give the details Of this powerful agent, for
the destruction of such iron plated antagonists
as the Merrimac and Arkansas
''For its simplicity in design, completeness
IN construction, and certainty of execution, it
cannot be excelled by anything yet invented
or advanced. In fact, it is THE event of the
nineteenth centuary. 1t revolutionizes the
whole theory of naval warfare, and as long as
its use is confined to our own navy, no other
power in the world can be successful, no mat
ter how many or what class of iron-clad ships
may be brought against us. 1t can be applied
to any ship in the service at a comparatively
nominal expense, and when So applied even
the Monitor or New Ironsides would be, when
opposed, as helpless as were the Cumberland
and Congress when attacked by the Merrimac
''Our captain, chief engineer, and other
officers have examined it, and all concur in
pronouncing it perfect success and the cap
tain has detached the inventor from the shin
and ordered him home with his plans, to re-
port in person to the navy department. Mr..
Whitaker will probably leave on the 10th

The MAYOR OF New York AND THE Pro-
cLAMAr1oN.-MayorO pdike of New York, in
vetoing series of resolutions adopted by the
councils of that city, which condemned an
emancipation policy, makes the following al
fusion to the presidents proclamation =
The progress of the war has demonstrated
that this policy is a military necessity, and |
believe that the momentous step which our
cautious and conservative president, after ma
ture reflection, has felt it to be his duty to
take, is pre-eminently wise, just, and hu-
name, and that if followed by an earnest and
vigorous prosecution OF the war, it must soon
give the death blow to this wicked and gigan-
tic rebellion. The proclamation injuries no
one who is loyal; it is only treason and trai
tors that are to suffer from it, nor have the
rebels any right to complain OF it. The meas
ure is sustained by the laws and usages of
| civilized war; and the evils it may intiict on
them, if they shall fail to return to their allie
glance and duty before the first of January
next, are but the legitimate fruits OF their
wicked and wanton revolt against the mildest
and best government in the world.

The FUNERAL OF THE BRAVE AND
NOBLE LIEUT.. SpURR, was largely attended
yesterday afternoon, at the house of g. F.
Hoar, Esq, regardless of the unfavorable
weather. Had more public service been
consistent with the wishes of the family, the
wide spread and profound sympathy of our
whole community in the event would have
thankfully found even more marked express
sion. We hope to be furnished with materials
for an appropropriate notice OF the life and
character of Lieut.. Spur, and especially of
his part in the battle of Antietam, and of his
experiences and bearing from that time until
he died of the wounds there received. All
who heard the brief and touching remarks of
Rev. Dr. Hill must feel strong desire to
know much more than could then find utter
ance. The following hymn was sung on the
occasion =
Go to the grave in all thy glorious prime,
In full activity Of zeal and power;
Christian cannot die before his time
The Lords appointment is the servants hour
6 to the grave thy faithful labors cease:
Rest on thy sheayes thy haryesttask is done:
Come from the heat of battle and in peace
Soldier, go home; with thee the fight is won
G to the grave though like fallen tree,
AT once with verdure, flowers, and fruitage
crowned,
Thy form may perish and thine honors be
Lost in the mOuldering bosom Of the ground =
Go TO the grave, which, faithful to its trust
The germ of Immortality shall keep;
While safe, as watched by cherubim. thy dust
Shall, till the judgment day in Jesus sleep.
Go to the grave, for there thy Savior lay
In deaths embraces, ere he on high;
And all the ransomed, by that narrow way,
Pass to eternal life beyond the sky.
Go to the grayei-no, take thy seat above;
Be thy pure spirit present with the Lord,
Where thou, for faith and hope hast perfect love
And open vision for the written Word

THE CONDITION OF THE SrREErs.-Now that
the season of frost and snow has gone by, we
expected that the contractor for street cleaning
would make up for his past inaction by remov-
ing the accumulations of the winter from the
public thoroughfares. But instead of doing
this he has merely loosened the masses of ice
here and there, and left them to obstruct the
public traffic, greater obstacles than before,
till they melt away. This will probably occur
in the course Of a month, and meanwhile the
streets will be kept wet and dirty by the
gradual thawing of these piles and bouders of
ice and snow. We submit that II is, or ought
TO be, the duty Of the contractor to cart all
these away in the same manner that he is re-
ouired to do ashes and other rubbish. What Is
the use Of paying for street. cleaning IL the
eets are not Qleaned'
The New York herald., 1862-03-17

Thus this comprehensive order not only In
spires our soldiers with enthusiasm and nerves
them for heroic exertions, fatiguing marches,
desperate combats and hard privations, but it
alike rebukes those fanatics who complain OF
past inaction, and those Europeans who de-
clare that the issue of this war is uncertain and
its probable finale military despotism.
When Mcclellan took command the Army of
the Potomac was to be disciplined, armed and
instructed. 1t is now ready for action, "a real
army" admirably disciplined, excellently arm
ed and equipped. That heavy artillery, which
Napoleon declared omnipotent, was to be pre-
pared. 1t is now supplied, and is magnificent
in material and formidable in numbers. The
armies led by Haleck, McClernand Wool,
Buell. Thomas Grant, MITCHELL Banks Smith,
Schoepf Curtis, Sigel, Pope, 7. w. Sher-
man, Burnside, Rosecrans, Lander, Mulligan,
Candy and Geary, and the fleets and gun
boats Under Dupont, Goldsborough, Stringham,
Mexican, Farragut, Porter, Ward and Wor-
den, had their preparatory work to do in Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Tennessee, Western Virginia,
Arkansas, North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi'
South Carolina and New Mexico, and their re-
suits had to be accomplished before the Army
of the Potomac could move to complete the
plan. Now these results are attained, and
Mcclellan moves His armies have encir-
cled rebellion like the coils of an anacon-
da, and now, like the head of the serpent, the
Army of the Potomac strikes the death blow.
The abolitionists need no longer search in vain
to find the master mind which has organized
victory. They may read his name signed to
this Order of the Day. General Mcclellan an
nounces, what we have always claimed,
that he alone has devised tie great CAM
paign which is to annihilate treason;
has planned those preliminary results
which the nation so heartily applauded; has
held back his favorite division that it might be
led by himself to glory; has so arranged his
plans that, under his own command, the Army
of the Potomac shall win the decisive battle, to
which all others have been but preparatory,
and which will save the country Whether the
rebels make stand upon the line of the Rap
pahannock and Rapidan, or whether, dispirited
and demoralized, the rebel army retreats and
dissolves, is now of but little moment. The
General who asked of us confidence and pa
tience now announces our speedy reward.
The nation endorses the promise that hence
forward there shall be no higher grade of honor
than that of soldier of the Army of the
Potomac
The New York herald., 1862-03-17

PROMOTION OF GENERAL WooL.-We learn by
intelligence from Washington, which we pub
lished yesterday, that in the executive session
of the Senate on Friday afternoon strong feel
ing was manifested in favor Of placing General
Wool in more important position than he now
occupies, and involving more active and COM
prehensive duties. This feeling was developed,
it is said, in marked manner during the dis
cussion upon the confirmation of Major General
Mcdowell The truth is, that not only in
Washington, but throughout the country has
the feeling been universal for long time that
General Wool is entitled to the position of
Major General, and to the opportunity of active
service in the field He is only Brevet Major
General, an honorary title conferred upon him
for distinguished services in the Mexican war.
That title does not enable him to rank with
Major Generals in the field. We think he de-
serves such promotion, not only from his long
military experience and fidelity to the govern
ment, but for his efficient and judicious dis.
charge of his duties since he assumed command
at Fortress Monroe. No military blunder has
since happened in that district General Wool
is better entitled to the full rank of Major
General in the army than some who have been
promoted to that position. No one will pretend
to compare his military capacity with that of
Fremont Justice, as we'll as expediency, de-
mands that he should receive the appointment
without DELAY.
The New York herald., 1862-03-17

POSTAL FAcrLrTEs.-We are glad to observe
that the Post Office Department is ready to es-
tablish as soon as Congress shall give the ali-
thority, the free, delivery Of letters in cities,
with uniform rates of postage for local and
general letters. This is an improvement in our
postal system of which we are much in need,
and il will doubtless be fully appreciated by
the public, anS lie contributing to the gene
raj convenience, nave considerable effect in in
croasng the business of the department. At
present there are so many drawbacks attending
the employment Of the Post Office, especially
in the transmission of city letters, that the COM
morcial and social intercourse of the commu-
nifty is seriously affected thereby. The people
of all sections of the Union would be brought
into closer relations by such system as that
which prevails in England, and we hope that it
will not be long before the Post Office In Ameri-
ca will become "a popular an institution a. II
