DIR NAVAL ERATIONs.

Our rapidly growing navy IL creating alarm
in the South for the remainder of their sea-
ports. At Charleston, the commander has
given notice TO non-combatant inhabitants
that they had better provide for their re-
moyal at once. The Richmond Examiner
takes to heart the capture of Galveston, and
INDUCES in grave apprehensions oi the
operations of our navy, and of the working
OF the Emancipation Proclamation IN the
cotton States, If the Government shouId get
an opportunity TO put it i'll force by the
possession of their seaports. II says: II
is useless to deny the advantages which
would ensuc to the enemy from the capture
of our remaining ports, or TO slight such a
misfortune to MS by the consolation that we
can still whip the enemy by interior war
fare" And if Charleston, Savannah and
Mobile are to fall into the hands of the enc
my this winter, then we may prepare for n
train of disasters that will reach the heart
OF the South and teariully try the lorlitudc
of our people,
That train of disasters. is Just what we
are preparing for and with our growing
navy il seems reasonable that they may all
be visited ON the ConGcdcratcs this winter.

The House being in the Committee Of the
Whole, Oh the state of the Union.
Mr.. RICHARDSON. A short time ago,
some fifteen gentlemen issued an address
over their own signatures through the pub
lie press to the people of the United States,
That address has provoked great deal of
controversy and has been assaiied with
great violence. 1t has disturbed the peace
ofmind of many gentlemen upon this floor,
caused tie n sleepless nights. They have
frctted away their hours here in assaults
upon it, Their assertions ir opposition to
that address do not rise to the dignity Of
reason, but descend to the contemplate
resort of those who cannot reply to an ar
gument, and, therefore, are driven to rib.
a dry and abuse.
In this case, members in opposition to
the doctrines contained in that address
have singled out some one whose name is
attached to it find fault with some opin-
ion which he does or does not entertain, or
some pretended speech Of his, swear he is
the author; that all of his speech which
was never made or these opinions that were
never entertained are covertly and secretly
in that address, and that the public should
be guarded against it, because of these sup
posed things.
That address is nothing more or less
than compilation of the opinions and
views of some of the most eminent men that
have adorned this country For the ar
rangement of these views, am response
BILE.
In the anxiety of the "shoddy' politi'
clans to assail that address, one other OBJ
lection to it is that it does not dcnounce the
rebellion and abuse the rebels. Each
thought and sentence of that document is
for the preservation of the Constitution, for
the maintenance of law, for constitutional
liberty. If the Constitution is preserved
and the law maintained the rebellion viii
be put down, for it is in violation Of both,
and destructive of each.
If the rebellion could be put down by
denunciation, the aboltionsts and those
who are engaged in plundering the Treas :
ury in and out of Congress, would have
accomplished the work long ago. They
have exhausted the vocabulary of invectiy'
and exhausted the subject, but by theS'
means have won no victories nor accom-
plished any beneficial results. They have
done no more towards success, but as mucl

Soldiers Coming Home.

They are coming home, coming home,
Bro her and lover, father and son,
Friend aud foe-they are coming home
To rest, for their work is done.
They come from hospital, picket and field,
From iron boat and fronwing fort,
In silent companies, slowly wheeled
In the rythm Of a solemn thought.
This was father of women and men,
Grev.haired, but hale, and strong Of limb.
The bayonet flashed and flashed again,
And the old mans eyes grew diml
Here was a form of manly grace:
The bomb shell grooming through tho air,
Drenched with his blood pictured face,
And curl of silken hair.
This was brightcyed, venturcsome boy
Back from the pGrilous piCket.ground
They bore him. walked from his dream ofjoy
TO gastly, fatal wound.
Aud thus for three days lingering,
He talked in wandering, rapid speech
ofmother, aud home, and the cooling spring,
His lips could almost reach
They are coming heme, but not as they went
With the flying flag aud stirring band,
With the tender word, and message sent
From the distant waving hand.
Up the steps and into the door,
With hidden face our loved ones come
We may cry their name out o'cr and DER,
But their pallid lips are dumb.
q friends untimcly snached from hence,
May VIC find, beyond heavens lowering dome
Some blissful future reCompense
For this sorrOwful coming home3

GRRAr Con our heartfelt thanks to Thee
We feel Thy presence everywherc

And gav'st the sun.hinc and the rain.

The fragrant grass and golden grain.
And now VIC reap! and oh! our Cod!

We send our song of Thanks abroad
Aud pray Thee, bless onr boarded store
