A New REBEL 1NvESrIoE,--A Charleston letter
says:
A large number Of something our officers have
named Rebel deyi-iish, were found floating in
Lighthouse inlet aud the creeks around the
islands in this vicinity yesterday, which upon
examining proved to lie Internal machines about
four feet long by one inch, shaped like fish, and
kept together by pieces of wine about ten feet
long. The design OF the inventor evidently was
to have the bows Of our vessels got entangled in
tho ropes, bring the machines suddenly up against
The sides of the vessels, aud by the force Of the

DEATH OF CAPTAIN q. W. RODGERS.
The good news ifom Charleston will bo to
many slroudcd in gloom by the announcement
OF the death of Captain George W. Rodgers, lie
was killed in the tnrret Of the Monitor Catskill,
in the attack on Fort Wagner, last Monday
Captain Rodgers was Fleet Captain to Admiral
Dahlgren, but had voluntarily taken command Of
his old vessel. and went in with her to within
hundred and fifty yards of Fort Wagner, shot
from which, us it appears, broke the interior
lining Of the turret, killing him Instantly. 1t is
difficult for one who has been privileged to share
the sweet and sacred friendship of so fine n soul
to write calmly of him thus taken away from us
Rodgers character was that fine blending, We
sometimes see, OF an almost feminine delicacy,
gentleness and sweetness cl uature, with tho most
heroic CALAMITY.
In the attack on Fort iiumter last April ho
carried his Monitor, which was among the last
in the line Of battle, impcluously past all the
others, running her up almost under the walls Of
Sumter. The writer, thcn with the fleet as cor
respondent of the New York Times, was TO have
gone into the attack with ltodgcrs hut when
the moment came he was unwilling that | should
run the risk in his untred vessel After the
ships came out spent the night with him on
board the Catskil proposing to accompany him
in the morning when the attack was to be
newed. Rodgers, Il predominant trait in whose
character was Il deep natural piety, passed the
whole night in reading the Scriptures aud prayer
The attack was not renewed | LEFT the tlee
and saw Rodgers no more. lie was loved with d
singular affection by the whole navy, among
whom his death will cause the profoundest grief

In consequence of the extraordinary success
Of rebel priyatecrs on every part of the ocean,
and the immense destruction Of Northern com

Of our naval power, large number Of Ameri-

their registers and sail under the protecting

in all conscience, and Of the greatest humilia-
ton TO us a. leading maritime and CONNER
cial nation. But by our naval correspondence
from Brazil, published in another part OF to-
days paper, IL will be seen that we have not
felt the worst of our sorrows yet. Owing TO
the ravages committed by the Georgia, Florida

or else sail at hazard to be burned or sunk by
pirates. Anything more bumiliating or dis
graceful to nation like ours, and more de.
structive to the interests of our commerce and
free navigation, we can scarcely conceive.
What is the use Of our splendid navy we should
like to know, II three or four pirates are to be
allowed to roam the seas forever without let or
hindrances
If our slow coach Secretary of the Navy will
allow us to suggest means by which these
rebel pirates may be summarily disposed Of,
we will readily do SO. The difficulty Is that no
sensible and practical suggestion il ever acted
upon by the Navy Department As our ships

The President of the United States should ais

The Game IN Europe Blocked In Re.
gard 20 Our Rcbeilion.
The recent news from Europe shows that
the game of England and France in Ameri.
can affairs Is blocked. Both Powers were
extremely DESTROYS Of recognizing the Davis
government SO that tho power and influence
Of the United States might be greatly les
sened or completely broken. But each Of the
nations in question wished to profit exclusively
by the operation, and therein lay the difficulty.
England, acknowledged to be tho first nation
commercially since the commencement Of our
rebellion, would have rendered that position
secure, could she have made an exclusive
alliance with the confederacy. But the states
men Of England we're we'll aware that both
France and the North would oppose her in such
o course and so they hesitated.
Napoleon, on his side, would like nothing bet
ter than TO recognize the South, il by so doing
he could have exclusive commercial intercourse
with the seeded States. But here he would
find himself opposed by England, who could
not allow France to obtain the control of
the cotton, sugar and tobacco crops of the
South. Napoleon must be aware that, rather
than see him become the ally Of Davis, Eng
land would make common cause with the
North, and then of course his race would soon
be run. The mutual fears and jealoases OF the
pretended allies have so far operated against
recognition, and the news Of the victory OF
Gettysburg. followed by intelligence Of the
fall Of vicksburg and Port Hudson, has pre-
duced such an effect upon the public mind Of
England and France, that II would be now i'm
possible for Napoleon or the statesmen in the
British Cabinet to carry out their designs.
The intrigues Of Messrs. Rocbuck and Lind
say in favor Of recognition Of the Davis gov
eminent had one result: they caused Napo-
leon TO make It apparent to the world that
he would not be made catspaw Of. and that
