Daily national Republican. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1862-1866, 1864-11-18

lFrom thy New York Herald, Nov. Ill
The Dictator has been for several days in the
harbor, running about to test her engin es, COM
pass, steering gear and other appurten ances of
the ship. The engines have proved tn themselves
to be, so far as they have been tried, quite
equal to the expectations of her constructor.
They have attained twenty.eight revolutions a
minute, working smoothly and without heat
Ing the bearings much more than usual in the
first trials In new engines.
The maximum speed yet attained by the
ship Is eight and half knots, by the log. The
steering gear works somewhet better, but 1t Is
yet far from operating as easily and smoothly
as is desirable. A careful examination has not
yet developed the cause of the trouble. Meas.
ures are now being taken, while she is lying
OIL Bedloe's Island, to adjust matters, and 1t IL
hoped that the difficulty will be removed with
out docking the ship.
The defects In the anchor raising gear have
not entirely been removed; but steps have beer
taken which, 1t is thought, will add to the facil
tiles for working this important part of thC
snip and lessen the time required 10 raise tn,
anchor. AS now constituted, the machinery il
lar from being a success. Other requirement.
developed in the receut trials will be fulfilled
at once, and 1t Is hoped, If the steering appa
ratus can be made efficient, the ship will b,
ready for sea in a short time.

A Panic In chambsrsburg.

The Franklin Repository says that Chambers.
burg was thrown into fever OF excitement on
Saturday night last, by the apparently well
authenticated rumor that Major Gilm or, with
nfty Of his rebel command, had crossed the
Potomac at shepherdstown on Saturday. Gen.
Couch made prompt disposition of his forces
70 meet any movement of the enemy by throw
Ing his men forward to the border to cover the
most exposed points; and as the troops left for
the border the people were apprehensive that a
small rsiding party might reach the town.
Considerable uneaslness prevailed during the
night; but with Sunday morning came assur-
snces OF safety, and the venerable village as
sumed It's serenity again.
The facts which led 10 the hutter on satur-
day night were about as follows: On Thursday
Major Gilmor with perhaps twenty men, was
in shepherdstown. He robbed the stores and
individuals in the most approved rebel style
and we learn, killed one man named Snyder fol
want Of promptness in delivering up his poke
book. After Cutting his appetite in the wa!
Of free booting, the command dispersed, and
portion Of the party crossed the river and scat
tered through the country In citizens dress
doubtless to look out good points for plunder

Ben.nt OF tho Ns,ysboy. Home. .

Tomorrow afternoon is to be devoted to a
grand benefit for the Home of the Newsboys;
and it is hoped that these itinerant vcnders OF
the current literature Of the day will be benefited
thereby. The theatre is generously loaned BY
the acting manager for this occasion, and the
company, with that characteristic liberality
which appears to be inherent to their natures,
have volunteered their valuable services. j.
W. Wallack, the celebrated tragedian, las vol
unteered his services, which in itself is a tower
of strength, aud cannot help but add aid and
comfort to the Home of the Newsboys.
Koppltz's grand orchestra will regalc thC
hearts of the charitable with choice selection
Of musical gems, which, in itself, is a treat
that our theatre-going people duly appreciate
1t is understood that Koppitz-the grand

An Australian Editors TroubIss-GOod
Reasons for SusptndinE n Newspaper.

The editor of the Geelong Chronicle, news
paper in Australia, tells the story of his woes,
in good.natured way, in the following list of
reasons for suspcndlng publication;
"Bccausc a large number Of subscribers
never pay at all.
because many of them pay once In two or
three years, while the proprietor pays every
Saturday (When he has the money!
" Because many of the auCtlOneers state their
clients are too poor to advertise in more than
one paper, and the proprietor Is too poor TO ad:
vGrtise gratis.
"Becsusc the farmers, who have been al
ways, and still are, our fast friends, have, by
u visitation of Providence, become too poor to
encourage literature this present winter.
Because the squatters say we go In for the
people who cat their beef and mutton, and not
for those who buy wool, aud that in cOnsc.
Quence the ChrOuicl' Is unworthy Of their sup
| pOrL-thC logic Of which reason II Is very hard
| to discover.
"Bvcause the Legislature imposes u tax on
| the conveyance OF newspapers through the post,
which presses very hardly on the proprietor,
he not only losing the papers Of his non paying
country Subscribers, but having to pay for the
privilege into the bargain.
| "Bucau5U the roads are 80 bad that II Ia i'm
! winsibG to reach many subscribers during the
amdtcr, and often when, after much lribulation
pos many bogginGs, 'Our collector does bur.
coed in 50 doing, he Is very politely told to
: call again next year.
! "Bocausc general apathy pcryades the en-
tire district, the people seeming to have made
up their minds that to battle with the mOnOp
oily Hnd class legislation Is to engage IN hope.
less struggle against might, the consequences
being that the farmer leaves his land untitled,
the small capitalists cross the Murray river,
! the larger ones 20 70 Queensland or New Zeal
! Elt in
vent Court, aud the labOrer feeds himself with
his family al the public soup kitchen-they art
all too poor to pay for newspaper and almost
TOO wrCtCnGd 10 read one.
"BuCausu tho proprietor of the GcelouJ
| ChroHtcIc Is Of opinion that every newspaper
/ should be thoroughly independent, and that
when its ceases TO be independent II becomes d
public nuisance rather than u public benefit
and the editor. becomes mere puppGt in thI
