the completion of this tremendous ship OF war.
She will be truly "thundering mountain" as
her name implies. Already her huge proper.
tions rise up SO that passers.by are attracted by
her appearance and almost inyoluutarily enter

tail.
Not long since Admiral Milne, who was for.
mcrly OF the Admiralty Board visited this YES
sci and spent several hours In closely inspect
Ing her. To say that he waG pleased with her
conveys but an Inadequate idea of the terms in
which he expressed himself in relation to his
appreciation OF her every point Of symmetry
and adaptabllity for the purpose for which she
was designed. He acknowledged that in this
ship there were the elements OF a terrible engine
of war, and that principle was developed in
her that would In time revolutiouize the present
favorlte system OF iron-clad shipbuilding.
We note this visit of this distinguished Brit
ish official at this time to show that there Is
sometimes an Englishman who, when he sees
a good thing, can appreciate ii, and at the
same time TO put on record that to America be-
longs the credit of inventing all the good iron

shortly after the visit of the English Admiral
the Russian Admiral paid the Dunderberg visit
aIeohPahieu ny hie stan. lney spent nearly
whole day In inspecting her and the Italian
irigates. The Admiral was surprised and de-
lighted at the enormous ship and her peculiar
formation. The truth is-and we learn from
various authentic sources-that the Dunderberg
is creating deal talk in naval circles all ovur
Europe, and celebrated English officer is said
10 have remarked, after her being described to
him, When will these Yankees end with their
new inventions In armored vesses2"
There Is no doubt that this vessel, in her per-
formances, will startle the world. Her battery
will berery heavy, her speed great, aud her
powers OF offence and defence unequalled by

Gov. Bradford and M.jor Gen. sch.neI.

Our city was yesterday considerably excited
by the open antagonism which had developed
itself between Major Gen. schenck, as the
representative Of the military power of the Gov
ernment, and Gov. Bradford, as the representa-
tive of the sovereign power Of the people of the
State. The facts were as follows
Major Gen. Schenck on Sunday issued an
order relative to the elections of the State, con-
tanning the following clause:
|. That all Provost Marshals and other Mill
tary Officers do arrest all such persons found
at, or hanging about, or approaching any poll
or place OF election on the 4th of November,
1858, and report such arrest to these head1uar.
tiers.
Gov. Bradford protested 10 President Lincoln
against this order, and especially the foregoing
section OF 1t, and issued a Proclamation, which
will be found in our columns this morning. al.
rected to the Judges Of Election. In the mean
time the President modified the order of GEN,
Schenck by striking ont the Objectionable clause
and inserting the following:
]. That all Provost Marshals and other mill,
tary officers do prevent all disturbances and
violence at or about the polls, whether offered
by such persons as above described, or by apy
other person whomsoevsr.
This change, however, did not altogether sat
isfy the Governor, and hence his proclamation
was issued on Monday evening, instructing the
Judges Of election to obey the election laws OF
the State, and promising them the protection
oi the State in so doing.-Baitin,ore american.

tFrom the Milwaukee Wisconsin, oct. 81 J
The sa9arity OF Gen. ThU,nns,

There can be no question that Gen. Thomas
saved the army Of the Cumberland in the criti.
cal battle Of Chckamauya. The Georgia papers
say that the plan of the battle was detci mined
upon by Gen. Bragg after consultation with
Gen. Lee The plan was literally to destroy
our army. 1t was, TO cross the Cbckamauga
creek on our left lank, where Thomas corps
was placed, and then force him back upon Crit.
tcndcn and McCook.
After Thomas was thus driven, another rebel
column was To cross the creek and strike
Thomas again as he was forced back, thus
completing his rout. Thomas, with the saga
city of great soldier, perceived the object of
the rebels. He did not wait to be assailcd, but,
with Napoleonic tactics, he concluded to be the
assailing party, and hence issued the following
important order!
HrApQrhRrERs I4ru ARMy Cosrs,l
NEAE Nj DANIELS HousE,
september l9-s A NJ.
MAJOR General PGiSrr
The rebels are reported in quite heavy force
between you and Alexander's Hill. If you ad.
vance as soon as possible on them in front,
while attack them In flank, think we can
uso them up. Respectfully,
your ob't sery't,
GEO. II. THOMAS,
Major General Commanding.
This order, the Georgia papers say, saved
Gen. Rosccrans' army. The Southern journals
came to q knowledge of this order from the
fact that the Adjutant of Gen. Palmer's staff
was taken prisoner, and this order was found
in his pocket. There is no man in the nation
who thinks that Rosecrans could have been
superseded by better man than than General
Thomas. There is an earnest heartiness in this
note, In speaking of the enemy as "rcbels."
Il think we can use them up" are words the
patriot likes To hear.
As an illustration of Gen. Thomas sagscity,
general officer now in this city says that II
Thomas could have had 10000 fresh men on
Sunday afternoon he " Uuld have utterly routed
the rebel army. This officer says that Gen.
Thomas clearly saw the prize of victory within
his grasp; but, after the brigades of the ro-
served corps had been hurled against the rebels,
Thomas had not another thousand fresh SOL
diers whom he could use.
He saved the army, but he would not have
been content with that. He wanted and would
have had such victory as would have carried
dismay throughout the South. This field officer
says that there were other generals besides
Thomas who saw what prize was lost for the
want Of ten thousand men.

THE POLICE.

A morning contemporary, in continuation Of

where on Thirteenth street, and "lay on the

came to his senses and contrivcd TO reach his

pedestrians to one policeman passing over that
street, will that paper be good enough to in
form the public how Mr.. ConkllDg came to lie
there so long without being discovered by any
of these pedestrians, any one of whom would
certainly have picked him up If they had OBJ,
