The COaSt SurICI.

The opertions of the Coast Survey during
the present year have been of a most ardu.
Ous nature, and Of great value to both the
army and navy. Without the carefully
drawn charts procured by the officers con
nccted with this bureau. it would be i'm
possible TO make SO effective the blockade
of our Southern coast. Approaching their
invaluable services, the Secretary of the
Navy bcstows upon them a just compliment.
when, alluding to their effectiveness. he re.

at is due to the officers connected with
The Coast survey that the assistance which
they have given to our tquadrons should
be Acknowledged The value of the infor-
nation which they have furnished our
blockading forces throughout the war can
not be ovcr-estimatcd. Not only on the
coast, but on the great interior rivers, they
have aided the service, and promoted its
efficiency and its intelligent action. Rear
Admiral PORTER expresses his great obliga-

Slavery The Cause Of The War.

Sound views OF the cause of the war and
of the vast resources of the Nation are be-
ginning to prevail in England. Mr.. Cobden
was enthusiastically applaudcd by British
audience during the delivery of long
speech. which throughout was mastery
vindication of the Union cause The speech
contained many points like the following
is it not astonishing. in the face of facts
like these that any one could have the tc-
mcrity. with any regard to dcccncy or any
sense of scli-rcspcct, TO get up in the House
of Commons and say that the secession OF
the Southern States has been on question
OF free trade and protection? This is war
to extend and pcrpctuate human slavery.
II is war not to defend slavery as it was
left bv their anccstors-a thing to he re-
tanned, and 10 be apologized for II is a
war to establish a slave empire. where
slavery shall be made the cornerstone Of
the social system, whore il shall be defend

Plain Talk TO heniucklanS.


Hon. r. T. JACOB, The Lieutenant Gov
crnor of Kentucky, on tnkng his seat rs
presiding officer of the State Senate, thus
addressed his tellow-citizens:

Madmcn would not listen TO her sage ad-
vice. They rushed TO war with tn" parrici-
daI hands, attempting to tear down the
work Of our fathers. What has been the
consequence? The institution they rushed
to an unhoIy war to protect from future
consequences is ON the verge OF destruction,
The only slave property that is at a Il safe

of Kentucky, If she had not been loyal
her slave property with all other kind,

association of more than two years. which
binds together commander and his trusted

The circumstances which render this step
proper will be appreciated by every good
soldier and true patriot The last appeal
the general has TO make to the gallant army
which has SO long nobly sustained him is
to give his successor that cordial and gen
cruus support essential to the success of
your arms. I'm that successor YOU have n

In the House of Representatives. on
Wednesday, the Speaker stated that the
next thing in order was the consideration
of the following resolution. submitted by
the gentleman from Pcnnsylvania CNlr
MoorhcadD the pending question being to
strike ont "CommittCe on Naval Affairs

WHEREAS the value and usefulness of the
Ohio river, which passes through several
States Of the Union, is frequently intcritr-

Mr.. Washburnc. of Illinois. If the House
agrees to that modification, will withdraw
my motion to refer to the Committee ON
