The destruction Of the sloop Of war
Housatonio, of Charleston harbor, demon-
stFates very conelusiVely that the rebels
have anticipated rs in the practical appli.
cation Of engines Of submarine warfare.
The fact is q mortifying one, but it should
invite our inventors to perfect more spesd-
lily the appliances which have already
been partially developed, especially e
other nations seem to be turning their ct
tention to this important subject. By our
foreign files we observe that experiments
were made few days ago in the port Of
Rochelle, to test q submarine vessel Of war,
the invention Of Captain Rochelle, Of th6
French Navy. 1t was stated that the Vss-
sci was 30 constructed that Il might Be
submerged almost instantly by means Of
compressed air and q peculiar apparatus
with which 1t was provided. When ready
for action, the only part Of the craft which
remains visible is 8 small tower whence
the commander may observe the positioa
Of the vessel to be attacked, and direet
the crew which way to steer, in order 70
strike her hull with the formidable spur
which is q chief means Of attack Of the
new eontriVsnee. But the offensive oapae-
ity Of the craft is not limited to its power
a. ram The spur which discharges shia
duty is formed like q tube, and an ineen-
diary shell may be placed in it. After
striking and crushing in the side Of hos
.ile vessel, the PLoBgslT,-for that is the
name Of this naval submarine engine,-is
supposed to retreat, unrolliDg at the same
time q wire consected with an electric
battery, by means Of which the shell may
be exploded ct the proper moment. The
engine OF the craft is Of 90-horss power,
and her crew consists Of II men, who are,
Of course supposed to be completely pro-
tected from sll external danger. ,
As is generally the case in preliminary
trials Of this character, the experiment ct
Rochelle was far from satisfaction. An
hour was consumed in getting the Graft
submerged, snd she then went doWn with
sn indolent see-ssW motion. When under
motion she went at very low speed, and
her steering apparatus proved 70 Be 50
imperfect that she narrowly escaped test
ing the power Of her speed upon 3 mer-7
chairman in the hsrbor. The French
journal which gives Us these facts, states
that the spectators were very indulgeHt
under this partial disappointment, inas-
much as al present were satisfied that,
with some improvements, the new oontri-
vance might become terrible engine cf
war.
Our inventive reputation is at stake in
this matter, and it will never do to let
either the rebels or the Frenohmen get the
start Of US in perfecting and utilising
these submarine engines. 1--we had them
at our disposal, they might do inestims.
BILE service in removing the Distinctions
in Mobile and Charleston harbors; and,
in case Of foreign war, their defensive
powers might prove to be invaluable. 1t
is to be hoped that the untiwely death Of
the lamented Major E. B. Hunt, Of the
engineers, who was killed while expert
menting with submarine battery Of his
own invention, has not deferred others
from further attempts in the same diree-
tion.-ATmy and Navy Journal. -

Mr.. GFeeGy on the Presidential QnestIon.
On Friday night last, the friends Of John
C. Fremont had q mass meeting in New
York, to advocate his claims claims fOs the
next Presidency.
Mr.. Greedy was 8 speaker at the meet
ing, and gave his support to the nOmins-
ton Of Fremont. In his speech he con-
sidsrsd, at length, the spirit IN which the
Presidential Campaign should be con-
Quoted.
he complained about the protrscted
Presidential contests which were getting
ia vogue in these latter times, and thought
the work might be done after the 1st of
September.
Mr.. Greedy, while an earnest advocate
Of the One-term doctrine, and believer in
John C. Fremont, is unwilling to have
any distraction in the Union ranks, after
the nomination takes place
al en- not an enemy to any gentleman pro-
possd az The nominee for the Presideaey By
the Union party; I erpeet to support that
nominee. and IvOuId all the more heartily If
I could feel that I had been fairly dealt vith
By their trisEds IN the preliminary eaHVais."
Better oOunssls are prevailing every
where, and although the Coppsrhsads are
working desperately 10 SOW distractions
among the Union men, although impet-
uous men have declared their unwilling
ness to support any man but Fremont, sll
who wish the Union party Ill, are destined
to sore disappointment if they expect any
division in our ranks. The Press and the
people everywhere are unwilling to give
such vantage ground to the copperheads
Of the North. With one solid front Of 10y
81, earnest hearts, they will elect the man
whom the majority shall nominate ct Bal
imore.
While there is every reason for the re-
nomination Of Mr.. Lincoln, and while we
shall labor to accomplish that end, we yet
hold ourselves ready to unite on any man
whom the loyal people shall call to the
helm Of State.
We are therefore grstifed to hear from
Mr.. Greedy that he will earnestly support
the nominee Of the Union party.
