A New Alabama.

4 The London Morning Post says 1t is
now well-known, especially among those
interested, chat Capt. Semmes, of the Ala
tbama, is about to change his flag aud
hoist it upon a more substantial, but
equally as fast ship as the Alabama -
Captain Bullock, who for the last year and
more has been in this country, superin-
tending the construction of vessels for the
Confederate service, is now about to leave
the Clyde, and will probably call at Car
diff, with il large iron vessel for the Con-
federates. Captain Bullock will afterward
take the new privateer to a port at pres.
ent a secret, and there transfer the COM
mand to Captain Semmes. The COM
maud of the Alabama will then devolve
upon Captain Bullock, until such time as
Captain Mafit, of the privateer Florida, is
enabled to take command of the Alabama.
The Florida will then be under the gui-
dance of Captain Bullock until Captain
Jones is appointed. n. .... -,
The last transfer is easily accounted for.
Bullock is more Of a naval architect than
an energetic or experienced seaman. 1t
was Captain Bullock, and not Messrs.
Laird Brothers, who modelled the Alaba-
ma, and superintended her construction.
Of course the builders have been obliged
to- bear the blame or praise attached to the
construction of the famous 1890 :" but
that Captain Bullock is the man who mo-
deled and watched over the erection of the
Alabama, there is not the slightest doubt.
The vessel on which Capt, 'Semmes hoists
his flag is "a large iron screw vessel,
mounting twenty-one guns, and, as we
have stated before, combines the two great
requirements of manrof-war-speed and
strength. uanS .... .-.,.r'. =.

upon any of the coercive instrumentalities
of military power. We have seen in the
experience of the last two years how fu-
tile are all our efforts to maintain Che
Union by the force Of arms but even
had war been, carried on by us successful
ly, the ruinous result would exhibit its ut
ter impractibility for the attainment of
the desired end. Through peaceful agen-
cies and though such agencies alone can
we hope s'to form a more perfect Union,
establish justice, insure domestic tranquil
ity, provide for the common defence, pro-
mote the general welfare, and secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity," the great objects for which
and for which alone, he Constitution was
formed. If you turn round and ask me,
what if these agencies fail; what if the
ballot-box is sealed? Then, all efforts,
whether Of war or peace, having failed,
my reply is, you will take care of your
selves; with or without arms, ,awith or
without leaders, we will, at least, in the
effort to defend our rights as free peo-
pie, build up great mausoleum of hearts
to which men who yearn for liberty will
In after years, with bowed heads and rev
erently, resort, as Christian Pilgrims to
the sacred shrines of the Holy Land.

sNEw PLAN FOR FILLING UP THE AR
MY.-A Washington letter says that the
Government has determined to adopt a
plan for recruiting the army which has
long been under consideration, and that
measures will be Immediately taken to
carry it into effect. By this plan it is
hoped that a very large proportion'of the
two years and nine months men just dis
charged may be induced, to re-enlist for
Pthe war. These veterans are to be offer
ed, in addition to the one hundred dollars
bounty and pay which all the national SOL
diers receive, bounty of three hundred
dollars, and are to form special corps,
distinguished both from conscripts and
from other three, years men. The Gov
ernment , is to be reimbursed, man for
min, for this three hundred dollars, from
the substitute fund to be raised under the
draft, and which by the terms of this act,
must be devoted ito this purpose. =. These
advantages are to be forfeited, in case the
men to whom they appeal do not avail
themselves Of them within fixed time,
which will probably be sixty days, The
large bounty offered is to be paid in in
stalmcnts, to suit the convenience of the
Government and the wishes of the sol,
diers. ...-.

Down WITH MOB LAW.-Mobbine

Down WITH MOB .LAw.-Mobbing
newspapers is again becoming species Of
popular amusement. A very exciting
time canabe had in this way without much
personal exposure and from the impuni.
tywith which such acts have been tolera-
ted heretofore, the perpetrators, as a gem
eral rule, have reason to expect credit for
having done smart thing. But the time
has come when it should be understood
that this crime is heinous offense :, The
freedom Of the press is guaranteed by the
highest authority known to our laws, viz,
the Constitution of the United States. -
Even Congress is, powerless to abridge it.
How, then, can solemn statutes be annull-
ed with SO little ceremony in a time of
popular tumult z Or how can an intelli-
gent community sanction such proceed
ings, by withholding their stern remon-
STRANGE, and preserving silence while the
broken law cries out for vindication p
Radical journalists have been guilty in
this matter in times past. They have
connived at, if not openly encouraged, the
violent demolition Of the offices Of their
political opponents But now that the
same criminal conduct is turned against
them, they see plainly that mob law is, as
we have always pronounced it, atroeious,
and they are ready to agree with us that
all concerned should pc dealt with in the
sternest manner known to the law. They
agree with US in the belief thatriotous CON
duct is crime nearly or quite equiyalent
to treason, to be crushed our at every ex-
pense. This is the correct view Of the
case. Il should be always observed that
laws cannot be construed according to the
bias Of transient passion.-N, Y. Jour
