The sInI,ing of tlle AIabarnn.

j Since the taking of New Orleans, and
the defeat of the Merrimac at Hampton
Roads, our Naval department had seemed
70 have relapsed into state of sleepy in
activity. For some two years We have hard
ly hadRn,, opportunity to chronicle a single
success worthy Of note, for our Navy. This
state of things is most happily and COM
pletely changed by the glorious news which
reached US yesterday of the sinking of the
Alabama, by the staunch Kearsage, under
Commander Winslow. The news is said to
have perfectly enraptured the Navy de
partment, and well it may, for it is the
most decided success for our navy that has
been won since the breaking out Of the
ersbeIiion. =
Tie Alabama, Florida, and other pratt
cal craft Of that ilk, have been constant
and unceasing bug-bears to the naval de-
partment, not SO much on account of the
real damage which they inflicted on our
commerce, though that was considerable,
As by reason of the annoyance that they
continually caused us BY the suddenness,
ease and utter impunity with which they
prosecuted their freebooting operations
They were standing demonstration of
the inability of the naval department to
destroy or fetter them. No pent up Utica
contracted their powers-the boundless
ocean was their domain, the trackleas high
way on which they came and
went with perfect freedom, burning
and plundering what came in their
waF, unpu1shed. They were the
guerrillas Of the sea, and raided it, the
Morgans and Ashbys Of the ocean, around
the world. But now theirprestige is gone.
Their Proudest and staunehsst vessel, the

William Smith O'Brien, the header Of
the irish Rebellion of ls4s died on the
18th ult, in Bangor. Ireland He was
born in 1903 at Dromolaud, Clare county,
offs good family which claimed descent
from the ancient Kings of Munster He
received a liberal education, and sat in
Parliament in 1890 for the borough of En-
Ris, and from 1885 to ls4s as a member
for Limerick. Though a Protestant, and
connected with the aristocracy, he allied
himself with O'COnnell, and was more in
tensly anti-English than that great leader,
espousing principles of radical Repubi-
canism. At the death Of O'Connell IN
ls47, OBrien became the leader Of
the g Young ireland party. In
1913, the French Revolution, headed
by Lamartine, broke ont, and O'Brien,
after visit to PAYS with Meagher and
0Goman-the trio whom Thackeray
pursued With such merciless and vigorous
satire-returned, and instigated a rebell-
ion in ireland, in hope of help from
France That hope was vain, and the
revolution fell still-bOrn 1t was in con-
nection with this outbreak that the New
York Tribune, which was warmly in sy8a-
psthy with O Brien and his fellow rev9lu-
tionists, was deceived into publishing the
famous Observation-Disclosures oallDd
sar-1On-hoax, announcing a bloody
battle and a complete victory for the Irish
men. O'Brien was arrested tried for high
treason, convicted and sentehcedto death
a sentence which was commuted
70 transportation for life. In 1856 he re-
oeived full pardon and returned to Ire
land. In 1858 he visited the United
States, where he was extremely well re-
eeived. During the present war he used
his pen very freely, in the Dublin press,
against Union principles and politics
thus following the unenviable example Of
his old friends and compatriots, John Nit
ehen now of Richmond, and Richard
OGorman.
Smith O'Brien was a man of earnest
sincerity, but did not possess eminent abil
ity, either as O speaker Or writer He was
50 intensely republican that he very indig-
nantly declined the prefix of q Honorable
to which he was entitled, as brother Of a
peer A more an1iable man never lived
1t was his fortune to have "fallen upon
evil days," and to have loved Ireland,
"not wisely, but too we'll" Had he sue
ceeded in breaking the Union in ls4s, he
certainly would, though a Protestant, have
been unanimously chosen first President of
the Irish Republic.

famous Alabama, under the command o
that vaporing braggard and piratical mur-
derer, Captain Semmes, has been met in
fair fight, begun by ITSELF and has been
vanquished, scuttled, sunk, by the gallant
Kearsage, after a most bloody and determ-
ined contest It's details are given in an
other column Our readers viii observe
that the statements there quoted from that
British secession Sheet the Morning Her
aid, are contradicted by later telegraphic
accounts. The victory has been a glorious
one. Captain Semmes and his comrades
have skulked back, like Vallandigham, to
the egis of the British Lion, whence they
will not be likely soon to emerge. Hurrah
for Commander Winslowl He deserves
the promotion which the Government con-
templates comforting upon him.

This ex-soldier who has declined fighting

famer of the Northern soldier, should have

The Recent ARMY Losses.

The Commercial, complaining of the
disposition to magnify losses in recent en-
gagements, says
"We have good authority for asserting
that the sum total of killed, wounded and
prisoners, exclusive of the cavalry and
Hunters column, viii not exceed fifty
two-thousand.
Take the casualties below the James for
instance. These have been variously esti-
mated at frem 10000 to 10000. A note
from one of our prominent citizens at
General Grants headquarters, dated June
9th, contains the following: sour losses

the James will not exceed 1900. went

=. lAeAA4AEhAls
IS The President has issued APPROXIMATION
bearing date July 5, 1864, declaring the
suspension Of the writ Of habeas corpus in
the State of Kentucky, and the establish
ment for the present of martial lawin that
State. The Proclamation sets forth. fully,
succinctly, and clearly, the legal authority
which justifes and the practical causes
which necessitate this step. It requires
the military authorities to provide for and
the civil authorities to aoeuiesce in its en-
foreement. 1t explains that it Is not in
tended to interfere with holding Of law
full elections; or with the proceedings of the
constitutional Legislature of Kentucky; or
with the administration of Justice IN the
courts Of law existing therein, between
citizens of the United States, in suits or
proceedings which do not effect the militia
ry operations or the constituted authori-
ties of the Government of the United
States"
All doubts and cayils as to the legality

Congress- approved March Sd, 1863, pro
viding that, during the rebellion, the Pres
ident should have power, whenever in his
judgment the public safety should require
it, to supend the writ of habeas corpus
throughout the United States or in any
part thereof It was in accordance with
the provisions Of this act that the Presi-
dent Issued his proclamation of September
18th, 1868, declaring the suspension of the
writ Of habeas corpus in certain cases IN
der our military laws. 1t is under that |
proclamation that this one is now issued. |
The necessity Of the measure is as clearly |
apparent as its legality. The facts stated |
by the proclamation itself-the recruiting
for rebel armies in Kentucky-the inva-
sion Of fKentuckyat different times, with tie I
aid and connivance other disloyal citizens
and the existence of secret coHspira-
cies within the State for the purpose Of
inviting a new invasion-an demonstrate
its expediency. In view of these facts wo

salmon I. Chase, though now but apri-
vate citizen, has not ceased to be useful to
his country. The national services of q
man who had the manliness to utter the
following words are not merely official, and
cannot easily be measured:
Permit me to add that, while we rejoice
in the successes Of our armies, and give
thanks to God for them, we should not for
get that there IS one class Of defenders of
the fag-one class of men loyal to the
Union-to whom we yet fail to do COM

future historians that statesmen of this day
were willing to risk the success Of the re-
bslion rather than to entrust to black 10y
alists bullets and ballots"

CHAPTER IX.--THE Kiss IN rffE DtrE.
After waiting six long hours
And with hunger almost dead
News came that the track was mended
And the train soon vent ahead. H
Soon we passed place called Johnstown
FILLED with iron fuundries
Where the people all were working
Like a lot Of busy bees.
Then we came to a great tunnel;
Near me sat pretty miss,
And when all was dark midnight
Quick from her 1 stOls kiss.
.'Oh, she cried, the people shouted,
And, before we reached the light
was peering through the window
In my seat again all right.
After passing the great tunnel,
To place we quickly came
Upon the highest mountain top,
And CTesson Is its name;
Many people in the summer
To this pleasant spot repair,
To enjoy its cooling waters
And its pure, fresh mountain air.
At Altoona we took breakfast,
1t was one O'Clock or more;
such lot Of hungry mortals
l ne er laid eyes before;
All the good things on the table
In short time did disappear;
And they all shouting wildly
Quickly bring more breakfast here"
