The Misma cement and Imbcci1ity OF
Secretary Welles-More vigor Wanted
fn the Navy Department..


Secretary Welles-M0re Vig0r Wanted
in the Navy Department.
We published yesterday the interesting in
teligence that the rebel privateer Florida is
still at large, capturing and burning our vessels
and repairing her damages in English ports.
We commend this news to the special atten-
ton Of Secretary Weles. 1t is the best possi-
BILE commentary upon his mismanagement of
the Navy Department for the past three years.
If that department continues to be conducted
as it has been under the present administra-
ton II will be absurd to talk Of war with any
European Power. France or England could
sweep our squadrons from the seas. and devas-
tate our commerce with the most perfect case.
What the rebels have been able to accomplish
with their half dozen privateers the history Of
this war clearly exhibits TO the eternal disgrace
of the venerable, imhecile and laundering Sec
retary Of the Navy. What England or France
could accomplish with their powerful naves
may be only too readily and sadly conjectured.
The reports OF the Navy Department show
that we have about three hundred vessels now
In commission This is tremendous force on
paper, but practically it amounts to very little,
except for service against the rebel fortifica-
tions on our coasts and on the Mississippi. As
far as this sort Of service goes Secretary Weles
has found II all plain sailing. 1t was an easy
matter for his friends aud relatives to purchase
and charter AL sorts OF ships at New York,
Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia, and re-
ceive from tive. and half TO i've per cent COM
mission from the government, In addition to
the sums extorted by them from the parties
who sold the vessels. u was by no means
hard task for Secretary Wslles to order these
ships upon blcckading duty, or 10 send them
apwn TO Fspragut, Foots, Porter, Dupont and
DahIcrcn, 70 attack rebel batteries and fortif-
cations. This done. the oaerous laboss Of the
Navy Department were over. Our brave
almirals, commodores, captains ani sailors
were LEFT to do the best they could with the
vessels under their command. That they have
done glorioasly is the result OF their own skill
and bravery. Had the Navy Department. sup
piled them with proper vessels and adequate
means they would have largely Increased their
lsureis The victories won by our navy nave
beeo gained rather in spite OF the Navy De
parsmea, than with its cooperation. Tho in.
efficiency Of Secretary weiles has been drag
upon the navy ever since the outbreak Of the
war.

THE CorrERHEAD ORGANS ON THE DRArT.-
With their usual consistency, the copperbead
organs, like the World and Albany Argus,
urged Congress to pass . conscription act, ap-
plauded II after Is was passed. and then turned
around and assailed II most bitterly as soon as
they thought they coald make little political
capital BY 10 doing. They thus played directly
into the hands Of the niggerhcads, who stopped
enlistments In order 70 make coBscription ne
cessary. Had these coppsrhesd organs folow-
ed the lead Of the HsRsrD In deneuncing Will
son and Company for stopping enaistmsnts no
draft would have been ordered. Had they even
followed the lead Of the HERALD in steadily
supporting The Ccnscripsion act after ii became
a law no riots would have ensusd. But tho
copperheads, like the nggerheads, have adopt
ed the rule or ruin policy, and to save the
country the conservatives must put down both
these factions together

THE HERALD OF THE Riors-Poor Greeley
was dreadfulIy agitated during the recent riots
because the HERALD contented itself with re-
porting the atrocities Of the rioters. and did
not endeavor to embarrass the authorities and
excite the people by attacking and abusing
everything and everybody, as the Tribune did.
We make up for this brief silence now, how
ever, by having a great deal to gay about the
riots and those who excited and continued
them, and we speak by the book basing our
articles upon the official reports of Generals
Wool and sandford. How does poor Greeley
like our plain speaking! Why Is II that be has
so much objection TO write about the riots now
Are the reports Of Wool and SANFORD too
much FOR him? Would he prefer The Hf7Ato'-
silence roor Greeley

cal and nefarious plot got up by the Satanic
radicals, with Greeley at their head. to ruin this
city by bringing about conflict between the
State and national administration, followed
with martial law, military governor, and diota-
tors in future electionss That we have escaped
that is almost miracle, and is due to the firm
ness of our conservative citizens and their CO.
operation with the Governor and Generals Wool
and Sandford.

had succeeded in mounting battery of siege guns

The bombardment was very heavy on Saturday,
and everything was going on favorably. Boats,
under flags of truce, were engaged in exchanging
the wounded on both sides.
The Charleston papers contain some very in

its commencement, extracts from which are given

Of our wounded at Charleston and those returned
by the enemy, as well as the names of the dead,
as far as can be ascertained, within the rebel
