The Army Bill.

The army bill passed by the Senate
part Of which we give in another col
umn, goes conclusively to prove that
the Senate are scared, that in their
overzeal they have worked themselves
up to the opinion that something
desperate must be done or we are lost.
The people throughout the Confeder-
acy do not agree with these savans,
but with the soldiers in the field have
determined to gain their liberty. and
expecting the war to last for some
time, prefer to husband their resources
in order to ensure certain success, to
risking it all on the cast of die.
This bill conscribes generally from
eighteen to ffty-fve and leaves scarce
ly any one of any class out of the
ranks of the army. There must be
those at home to supply the wants of
that army or it will break down by it's
own immense weight The physicians
lett will be unable to attend on those
who are IN their immediate proximity
much less those who are q few miles
distant, there will be no men left to
raise subsistence in some localities or
superintend it in others, there will be
left no Mechanics and especially mil
lers, and the produce for the army. as
well as for home, must be eaten parehea
or raw or not at all The press Of the
country viii be suspended which will
be but proper as there will be no men
left at home to be kept advised either
of the opinions or actions Of the Gov
eminent. Altogether this bill is 8
monstrosity and hardly TO be realized
as having emanated froan an enfighs-
ened Senate. The House certainly
must bring that Calm reason it hiss
exhibited in regard TO other balls &c
bear, for that body which was know
as the grand conservative body, the
Senate, has ran mad or is Badly scared.

life cannot quite comprehend the meaning
OF this rule. l suppose it means-measure
the length from ceiling to ceiling on the ton
mage deck, deduct fair amount for the rake
OF stem and stern and for dead woods, and for
the amount OF rake contained In the thickness
OF the deck (which comes under the head OF
hair-splitting) and for part of the round OF
the stern where the length is measured high
up) or perhaps the old rule is TO be applied
of deducung 5ths of the beam for the rake
of the stem, which is a very arbitrary rule
So much for the length.
The rule for measuring depth, / confess, Is
wholly unintelligible to me. The measure for
width is clear enough-namely, from ceiling
to ceiling at certain given points.
Now we will suppose vessel to have a
berth deck and gun deck, with a hurricane
or spar deck over ALL She Is first to be meas
ured for length on the gun deck. and after
wards the measurement of the space between
the gun and spar decks is TO be added, wheth-
er that space is intended for cargo or only for
passengers or crew, and these two measure
ments, in tons of 100 feet. are to be separately
recorded in the register; also any other inclos-
ed spaces wherever situated.
/ believe this new rule of measurement is
somewhat similar to that adopted for sailing
vessels In England, the idea being to get at
the cubic contents; but 1t differs from that
rule when applied to steamers, inasmuch as 1t
makes no deduction in the registered tonnage
for the space occupied by the motive power
and coal bunkers in vessels Of that class.
Ii our Uncle at Washington intends that
measurers shall be prepared to do their duty,
he must furnish complete diagrams illustrating
clearly the meaning of the rules.
Yours truly, r. b. r.

New Rules for the Measurement OF Ships
The following Communication, from we'll
known nautical gentleman, is highly import
ant 10 shipbuiders and shipowners. We sup
pose the Secretary of the Treasury will have
70 issue circular explanations of some Of the
rules, embodied in the law TO which our cor
respondent refers
Mr.. EDITOR: Some friend has franked to
me copy OF the bill, approved on the 9th
instant, TO regulate the measurement of ships
i have looked it over several times and dis
cover that any vessel built in the United
States after the lst of January, 1865, and any
American vessel coming to the United States
after that time must be measured according
to certain rules therein laid down, and that
any vessel built after the passage of this act
may be so measured.
discover also that in vessels having three
decks, the second from below is to be the deck
for tonnage, and that where there are only
two decks then the upper deck is TO be the
one for measurement OF the tonnage. i note
also that there are six classes of vessels which
are TO be divided into sections, beginning with
vessels of fifty feet and under, to be divided
into six sections; up to vessels over two hun
dred and fifty feet long, which are to be di-
vided into sixteen sections. In section I'd II
Is laid down that the register shall express her
length, breadth, and depth, and 1t goes on TO
state how these dimensions shall be taken !;
but In section Sd the actual tonnage or in
terndt cubic capacity in tons of 100 cubic
feet" Is to be ascertained by different meas
urement from that indicated in section I'd.
Perhaps the mode OF measurement as laid
down in section I'd, is merely to get at the
class to which the vessel belongs. The rule
In section I'd is" Measure the length In a
straight line along the upper side of the ton
mage deck, from the inside of the miner plank
average thickness) at the side of the stem, to
the inside Of the plank on the stern timbers
average thicknessI, deducting what is due to
the rake of the bow in the thickness of the
deck, and what is due TO the rake of the stern
timber in the thickness Of the deck; and also
what is due TO the rake of the stern timber in
one-thrd OF the round of the beam, divide
the length so taken into the number of equa
parts required" as 10 the class to which th,
vessel may belong.
