Our STEAM NAvY-SAIIING SHIPS OBSOLETE
finest sailing frigates in our navy, was put out
OF commission, her crew sent to other vessels.
principally, however, to the steam frigate Nj
agara. The Sabine has been in commission
since the rebellion, and has rendered some very
valuable services; but, being sailing vessel,
of course she could not be sent with propriety
to cruise for the Alabama or Florida, although
she carried splendid battery and crew ex
ceeding fourfold in numbers those OF the pr-
vateers.
The question arises why SO noble ship has
not been able to perform duties which the num-
Der Of her crew and guns seems to warrant.
To answer it we have only to say that she
lacked that powerful agent. steam. The days
OF sailing vessels for war purposes have long
passed, and, with the exception of store vessels
and receiving ships, we should not have sail
ing vessel in the navy. The sailing frigatcs in
our navy could. at comparatively triling cost
be transformed into formidable war vessels.
while the sloops-oi-war should be laid aside
either as store vessels in foreign ports or sold
as useless lumber. We have only to look at the
British navy, which few years ago consisted of
scores of unwieldy and huge sailing vessels.
A new light broke in upon them: it was demon
strated that steam was necessary to success ully
carry on naval warfare. Machinery was placed
in these vessels, and to-day the old sailing
ships built nearly century ago become for
midable engines of war.
Tho usa of etaaun ovorcouns onathar Iifficnlfv
now sorely annoying us-the manning of YES
seis-oi-war. In sailing ships large proper
ton of the crew must be practical seamcn
while in steamers it requires only few to take
care Of the vessel. Sailing ships will do for
some kinds of mercantile purposes; but even
in that branch Of navigation steam is fast les
sening the number of vessels propelled by can
vass alone. For naval service steam is the only
proper propelling power, and it is time that the
old sail ships of the navy we're used no more,
until they are furnished with auxiliary engines,
at least. Speed and guns of long, effective
range are now the desiderdtd. 1t is a curious
fact, which our naval authorities should keep
in view, that very few Of the prizes taken
during this rebellion have been captured BY
vessels built for the navy. Nearly all have
been taken by chartered and purchased mer-
chant steamers.
The Navy Department should attend to this
matter at once, and let us have the Sabine
Santee, st. Lawrence and other vessels of their
class transformed into steam frigates that will
be able to 60 into action or cruise at sea with
probability Of being able to compete success
fully with vessels Of their own class, instead of
lying with sails becalmed and at the mercy Of
the guns of the steam vessel OF any enemy

-TIIE SITUATION.

Cavalry skrmishes continue in the Army of the
is no movement to report. On Thursday por.
ton of General Gregg's cavalry had fight near
Fayetteville but meeting the rebel infantry
our troops were compelled to fall back. On
Friday our forces again attacked the enemy
and drove back the cavalry; but when they came
in contact with the rebel infantry, they appear to
have been again repulscd. On Saturday portions
of Gen. Gregg's and Gen. Buford's cavalry divi.
sions had an engagement with the cavalry and
infantry of the enemy, and were driven back to
Liberty, beyond Bealton Station.
The recent attack of the rebel General Imbo-
den or Char;cstown, Va, is reported in the
Richmond Dispatch of Saturday, in the shape of
telegram from General Lee, stating that Gene.
raj Imbodcn had captured four hundred and
thiriy-four prisoners and all their arms.
The latest rebel accounts from Charleston state
that our troops are putting the Notifications at
forts Gregg and Wagner in order, and that they
expect stormy times very soon.
The advance Of the rebels into Kentucky, which
we have already reported, seems to be confirmed
by the fact that Governor Bramlettc sends from
Frankfort, Kentucky, despatch to the demo.
cratic committee at Buffalo, cxcusing
himself from attending the meeting
there, in which he says:-"wc now have a for
midable raid upon US, our banks arc robbed and
towns sacked within forty miles of the capital
No man. says the Governor. 'can think of quit
ting his post while this continues" Dispatches
from Louisville yesterday also state that the
quartermas,crs stores there and robbed several Of
the citizens.
Our news from the Southwest, though not very
important, is interesting, the position of all the
Union generals being stated with accuracy. The
division of General Ostcrhaus had severe fight
with the rebels, in which he los, twcnty.seven
killed and wounded, among whom was Colonel
Lorcnz, of the Thirtieth Iowa. who was killed.
The recently reported mutny among the Ten
nessee troops in front of Chattanooga proves to
have been very serious affair. II appears that
whole brigade attempted to desert TO the Union
lines, and in resisting their attempt over eight
hundred men on both sides were killed.

The NEGRO IN MAssACaUsErTs.-Who shall say
the world does not move? Who shall say that
its revolutions are not felt within the walls THAT
famous State House in Boston, familiarly and
profanely known as the Hub of the Universe ?''
In January last an article was published in
our columns showing conclusively that by the
statute law Of Massachusetts, negroes were and
always had been excluded from the State mill
tia. The article was not copied into any Bos-
ton paper, SO far as we know; but the acts and
resolves Of the State Legislature, then in ses-
sion, give very significant proof that the legis-
lators Of that sharp old Puritan Common wealth
are in the habit Of reading the New YoRx
HERALD and profiting thereby. The following

satisfied with the result. especially us there may
be still good many citizens of that State who

Tho ELECTION Contesta.

Tuesday, Wednesday. md Thursday Of
last week were occupied-in taking testimony
in the cases Of the contests of the election
OF Amos Glover Treasurer, David Harris
Probate Judge, and Wm. Wilkinson Com
missioner. In the taking Of testimony the
contestants Patterson, Nciswsnger. and
Chambers-were permitted to take their
own course, and prove, as they did, rumors
aud hearsay without objection. The depo-
sitions occupy about lS0 pages of foolscap.
II was very manifest tlnt great diligence
had been used by the parties and their
friends in hunting for testimony. In the
whole Of this large volume of evidence there
Is no ground for a suspicion Of even unfair
ness in any Of the judges or clerks of elec.
tion in any township OF the county, except,
perhaps, in one case. 1t is also worthy Of
remark, that this testimony does not war
rant suspicion that any Union man at.
tempted to deceive voter, or knowingly to
obtain al Illegal vote, except one case oil
double voting. In the case ofdouble voting
it does not appear that any other person,
beside the man that voted, knew of his vo.
ting twice until after the election f..
On behalf Of Clever, Harris, aud Wilkn
son it is claimed that it appears from the
testimony that three votes we're cast for
their opponents by lunatics; that three votes
were east for their opponents By men who
had no right to vote On account ofrcsidence;
that Glover and Wilkinson lost three vetes
ench, and Harris two votes by miscount,
aud that two votes were cast for their oppo-
nents by men having visible adunixture of
African blood. Ha r7 e..sii.|. n..1 f.r
1t appears from the testimony, taking
hearsay for evidence, that one mnn voted
twice, and probably voted the Brough tick
ct, and that one man who came from an
other county in the State, where he had a
residence, less than thirty days before the
election, voted the Brough ticket. .a
Belmont isa border county. The cleo
tion was very close, and the charge has been
often made that it was carried by fraudu-
lent voting. The Vallandighan men have
opened up way by which to test the truth
of this charge. 1t has been tested, and of
evidence to support it there is none, none
whatever 1t is not possible for any party
TO vindicato itself from such oharsos more
effectually. We doubt whether any one, in
the face Of this evidence, will repeat the
charge. 5000. .. xxx. A. ..

The above list shows that foriy-six have
