EFFICIENCY OF THE IRoN-CLAD NAVY.
Much valuable information appears 10
have been elected by the resolution adopt.
ed some weeks ago by the House Of Rep.
resentatiyes, calling upon the Secretary Of
the Navy in relation to the siiciency Of the
irOn-clad vessels, as exhibited in official re.
ports. Admiral Goldsborough thinks that
but indifferent success has been reached.
He says every irou-elad should be ram,
and strong in every part Of her hull he
believes our irOn-clads to be open to serious
objections, and that there Is marked def.
cheney Of ability for general naval opera
tons, being more suitable for smooth water
and harbOrs than for sea service. We
should, however, prO6t by experience. He
regards the 1Ses LroAsides as more efficient
than its predecessors. Gen. Barnard, hav.
ing given particular examination to the
subject, says that the turreted vessels Of
the Ericsson design are the best yet known
for harbor defence. The Dieiator aud

The LAWS OF CoNGREss.-As will be
seen BY our readers, we devote the space in
our columns, this week, heretofore occupied
BY light reading matter, to the publication
of the. laws Of Congress. The apprOpria-
tiOn of so large a space to this purpose is
rendered necessary by the delay in receiving
the work, which has been accommodating
since the meeting of Congress, in December.
In the course Of three or four weeks we
shall dispose Of the greater part of these
laws, when we win again return to the mat.
terwhich they necessarily crOwdO out. Mean
while we trust the laws will not go unread
BY all of our readers, a portion of whom at
least may CLEAN useful knowledge from a
perusal Of them.

At the election for members Of the Leg
islature and local officers, held in this Ter
ritory on Monday last, SO far as we have
yet learned, with the exception of Pierce
and the adjacent county Of Mason, the
Union party has triumphed. The adverse
result in this county is justly attributable
to the agitation of the Capital question
that being the lever used with most marked
effect to induce voters to vote the Union
Democratic Ticket" so called. But fol
this issue, which the opposition knew too
well how to turn to account, we have but
little doubt the Union ticket would have
been elected here, as elsewhere.
1t is gratifying to know, however, that
success has crowned the efforts of the Union
party in other counties. ThurstOn County
elected the entire Union ticket, save one
member of the Legislature, and his election
will be contested on the ground Of illegal
voting. King and Kitsap Counties have
both given handsome Union majOrities, al
belt the former has always been regarded
and claimed as strongly Democratic. Wat
son, Of the Gazette, and Mercer, late Prin-
cipal of the University, (the former for the
House and the latter for the CounciD have
been elected to represent these counties in
the Legislature. This is far the best re-
presentation, intellectually, King and Kit
sap have had for many years.
From meagre reports from other counties,
more distant, we judge that the Union party
has generally succeeded, and in the next
Legislature will have at least a good work,
ing majority. When we get the official re,
turns, we shall lose no time in placing them
before our readers.

J. N. SWAN AND c. II. SPINNING.
To the Editor of tile Pu0et Sound Herald :

OLYMPIA, June Sth, '64.
was much surprised, last evening, on
being informed that Frank Clark, ESQ, Of
StcilacoOm, had on exhibition, prior to the
late election, letter purpOrting to have
come from me; the said letter stating that
Mr.. Spinning, Candidate for the LegsIa-
ture from Pierce County, if elected, would
advocate the removal of the Capital from
this section by legislation next winter.
If it is true that Mr.. Clark had such a
letter, he must find another author for it,
or permit the impression that it is child
Of his own begetting, as have written no
such letter, nor have entertained any such
opinion in regard to Mr.. Spinning. On
the contrary, l believe that any and all
legislation which might tend to advance
the prosperity and interest Of the Puget
Sound District of the Territory would have
in Mr.. Spinning faithful advocate and sup
porter, and by what know Of his past
actions and expressions on national issues,
| believe him to be, like myself, consist
ent supporter of the principles of liberty
and popular government
l conceive the object Of such letter to
be the defeat of Mr.. Spinning, the accom-.
plishing of which would but be the success
Of the COpperhead (alias DemOcat) party,
a measure which no consideration would
induce me to support, believing, as l do, the
success Of that party nationally to be the
success of secession, and that the sympa-
thy which they manifest for and with trea-
son justly merits the execratiOn of all true
Datriots

REBEL INvAsIoN.-Rebel papers oi
April last loudly urged another invasion
of the North. The Savannah Republican
urges this war policy as necessary to the
sustenance of their army, and as well cal.
culated to develop the peace party of the
North. The Montgomery (Ala.) Mai
says that the trans Mississippi army must
invade Missouri, Gen. Lee must enter Ohio,
and Gen. Johnston move through Ken
tucky and Tennessee into Illinois and In
diana. Without such sweeping more
ment, it says, tour agriculture will be
ruined and our manufactures will be de-
stroyed." It says also that "the Copper
heads will swell our ranks" and it adds
"Better die there, with our arms in our
hands, than starve here or expire 10 chains. !"
The vail Of despair is in such utteranccs as
these. Uuhappily for them, il is out of their
power to again invade the North; the force
on which they relied to accomplish this plan
hay'-S as much as they can attend to at
home. Doubtless Northern Copperheads
regret this as keenly as Southern rebels.

ny A called session of the City Coun-
Gil was held last evening. sundry petit
tons to keep cOffee.houses wereheard and
granted. A petition from DR.. Kirker'
surgeon in charge of the hospital, asking
permission to open drain from the privy
vault of the Athensum prison into the
city sewer, was referred to the chairman of
the Committee on Streets and Alleys,
without power to act.
John busch petitiOned for the restora-
ton of his license revoked at the last ses-
sion of the Council. After passage of a
resolution to reconsider, the matter was
discussed and the license restored.
The two branches then met iu joint ses-
sion and transacted some business Of minor
Importance; when the 1st branch retired
to its own chamber.
A petition of the Trustees of the 7th
Ward School, for the use of the old City
Council chamber as school house, passed
the 2ud branch upon condition of the pay
,ment of $25 per amman. The action of the
seeOud branch was cOncurred in by the LIST
branch, with the exception of that part re-
curing the payment of rent of S25,
pending the consideration of which the

E8-A LIGHT SNOW fell on Monday night
and made yesterday regular Winter day
the first we may say of the season. The
wind blew cold and cut keen as every one
was aware who ventured out few minutes
without overcoats and furs. The boys dis
played their instructive knowledge of an
opportunity and initiated the glorious fun
of riding down the sidewalks just to grind
the Summers rust off their sled soles.-
Police items of any importance have come
to be rather scarce, the fact ia even the
most internal quality of chain lightning
which is generally the principal Ingredient
in all first class police items has gone up
to gold prices and the buffers who used
to drink the spirit stirring fire largely on
the principle of "I'll treat and you pay"
have to be content with the milder and
more genial lager.

H6-FoR many days past there has been
constant stream of refugees and deserters
from the rebel lines and the rebel army,
pouring into Ohio and the West. If this
uue1ampled hegira had been in progress
before the 9th ofNoyember, one might have
supposed it was link in the chain of ope-
rations contemplated by the cOnspirators,
whose plots were SO completely frustrated
by timely discovery. That dead point of
danger having been safely passed the
Wholesale emigration and desertion now
going on, can only be accounted for on the
supposition that the people who have been
SO vigorously ruled and consoripted by the
JEFF. Davis oligarchy. after grooming under
the iron yoke of that despotism till hope
and patience ceased to be virtues, have
concluded that the only place of peace and
quiet safety is in Abraham's bosom, thus
Wheeling has become the "point de qpGi'

son Davis intimstes isabsent without leave,
