The What Is II!

This submarine battery, which has
been reported failure, was towed up
to Brooklyn navy yard yesterday, hav.
ing achieved an astonishing success
The rumor of its valuelossncss was prin.
ted for the purpose of keeping curious
foreigners from trying To witness the
experiments, which were made in Now
Y ork harbor. When we state that a
shot, discharged a considerable distance
under water, was sent some one hun.
dred and fifty yards in the air, the ma.
ture Of the results reached by Captain
Hunt may DC immagined. AT order
has been received from the authorities
to commence at once on large scale a
vessel built on tho same principle as
that tried, and the present one is today
to be hauled into the dry dock
The "What Is IT. which has Just
been so severely tested, is nothing more
than huge square box, almost twelve
feet high and six feet wide, with an in.
ternal diameter Of some twenty feet. a
port hole is on one side, covered 10y a
sort of arch. Within, a gun of indies.
crlOaOle make aud strange appearance
is mounted on the floor in such a man.
Ter that the muzzlo protrudes through
the port. The singular aspect of the
cannon, however, is eclipsed by the
queer construction of the ammunition,
which consists of square iron log or
ball, about ono foot wide and two feet
long. Egress and ingress TO the bat
terry are effected over the top, by means
ola ladder, anl in through the before
mentioned port The mode of working
the vessel is aud will be kept a secret
Tho present enc is merely a box to test
tho principle before mourning the ex.
pense of building a larger craft. The
inventor of this machine, Captain Hunt,
of the Engineers, is confident of making
a submarine battery that will be univer
sally adopted as the best of its kind

CHARTER ELECTION.

Before we shall make another appear.
ance, the Charter Election will have
been held and our city officers chosen.
So far as the political stripe of the cleo
ton is concerned, we arc ready to sink
everything in the consideration of fitness
We do not want boys nor disnterested
persons upon our school board, but
men who have the prosperity of our
schools always before them, and who
will make an effort to increase the faci!
tiles and benefits OF the school. We do
not want careless and Indifferent men
in the council. We have had enough
of prodigal;ty aud waste,-let US now
try economy and retrenchment We
are not interested in the burdens of
great spectators and landowners, only
to see that they pay their full share OF
tho taxes. Let us vote for business
men, men who have some idea of tho
value of moncy,-men who will ieal.
ously guard the credit and honor of tho
city, and who arc enough masters OF
their own business to assure us that
they can at least aid in doing that Of the
city. Until such men are chosen to al.
minister our affairs, we shall have no
end to high taxes and folly.

Near jackson, Tenn, :
Feb. II, 1868.

AT a meeting of the officers of the
81 Michigan Cavalry, the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty
God to remove from among us Lieut..
Terance p. McEntee, brother officer,
whose soldierly bearing and high toned
manhood had gained for him the respect
and admiration of all who knew him
and whereas his ubtimely end has occa.
stoned universal sadness,
Therefore, resolced, That the Sd
Michigan Cavalry, in the person of Ter.
ence u. McEntce, rohle and gallant
officer, who was ever where duty called
him and never forsook the post of dan
ger, and whose constant example Of
selfsacrifcing virtue, ever secured the
admiration Of those who entrus ted their
lives to his keeping, and inspired con
fidence that led them to face danger
cheerfully by his side, while noble
patriotism constantly leading him to Go
do and to dare, secvrcd the unbounded
admiration Of all those with whom he
came in contact.
Resolvea, That while we commiserate
the sorrow of distant friends and rcla.
tivcs, we scarcely lament t he glorious
end of him, who in that trying hour ex-
pended his last physical energies in de.
fence of his cou ntry, and his last breath
in communion with bis God.
Resolced, That we, the officers of the
Sd Michigan Cavalry, viii face this
wicked rebellion until we are avenged
an hundred fold for our companions
who have fallen while gailantly fighting
barbarous foe, who like the treacbcr-
ons panther, lies and waitfor is antago.

these resolutions to tho family of the
deceased, and to tho leading public
journals of our State for publications.
