\ EARLY CLOSING OF NAVIGATION. Every
thing at present indicates that the business
of ne nevigetion this season will be closed up
at much earlier date than for several
years past, owing to the scarcity of freights.
Our lake commerce, the past season, has
not been very profitable many doubtless,
having barely met their running expenses.

SAM mnpAnr oN NeoLnLlAN.

We copy the following paragraph, from
tho onss, the organ of the Copperheahs of
Ohio. This paper is published and edited
by Sam Medary the war-horse of the De-
mocracy of that State. Judging from this
article we are inclined to believe that Little
Mac" does not stand we'll where he is best
known, among the people of Ohio, aud that
they have not very high opinion of his
qualifications for the Presidency.
at is we'll known that General Mcclellan
has not one spark of pretension. to the
Presidency, except what he has made out of
this war, under MIR. Lincoln. He never
held civil office in his life, and was un-
known to the public when Governor Denson
brought him forward as q military man.
Yet, in three years as q mere soldier, he
rises to the demands Of the Presidency, to
head party which is for Psace-a position
recurring statesman of enlarged views and
statesman's experience. If we are TO
| plunge into interminable wars. each section
or portion following its military leader, as
in Mexico or South America, then Nc
Clellan might be proposed with some more
show Of consistency but, as it is, it would
be utter annihilstion of all constitutional
politics and wiping out of the Democratic
organization. And for what? That few
men who have got his ear may get foreign
missions and home positions, at the expense
| of the peace of the country, and the live;
of their constituents. This is paying toe
dear for such whistles, and for one we pro
test against it in behalf of our bleeding
ruined, and distracted country. If peac,
will not preserve civil society, war will not
and we are lost people. anyhow.

TWO NEW REGIMENTS.

We learn that Governor Cannon, has sue.
ceeded in getting authority from the War
Department. to raise two new regiments in
Delaware, one for one hundred days, and the
other for one year. Capt. Thomas Crossley,
Captain r. Holt, Captain Richards and
Capt. james Wilson, have opened rendes-
vous, and are now recruiting. Men are vol
unteeriDg quite briskly. Governor Cannon
has labored with much zeal to secure this
result and deserves the thanks of our citi-
sons. If the proper effort is made, the quota
Of Delaware can be filed, and our people
saved from the draft. We hope for the
honor of our State that every encouragement
will be given to volunteering. Let those
able furnish substitutes. Let our patriotic
young men enrol their names at once, and
show to the country that they fully appreci-
ate the value Of our government, and are
willing to do their share towards striking a
final blow at the slave oligarchy of JEFF,
Davis, and re-establishing our nation on the
sure foundation of freedom,
We must act promptly in tho matter, as
but few weeks remain before the time allow
ed US will expire and the draft take place.
Worthy scions Of an illustrious ancestry. lot
us prove by our acts, that we revere the
glorious Gag under which.our fathers fought,
and will uphold and defend the noble heri-
tage which they bequoathed to us.

SECRETARY wELLES CoNGRATULATEs
ADMIRAL FARRAGUT.

Washington, August l6-The Secretary of
the Navy has addressed the following to Admiral
Farragut:
NAVY DEPARTMENT, August 10, ls64.-Sir:
Your despatch of the 9th instant, stating that
you had on the morning Of that day entered
Mobile Bay, passing between Forts Morgan and
Gaines and encountering and overcoming he
Rebel feet, had the satisfaction to receive to-
day.
Some preliminary accounts of your operations
had previously reached us through Rebel chan
nela.
Again it is my pleasure and my duty to con-
gratulate you aud your brave associates on I'm
achievement unequaled in our service by any
other Commander, and only surpassed by that
unparalleled naval triumph Of the squadron
under your command in the spring OF 1862,
when, proceeding up the Mississippi, you passed
Forts Jackson and St. Philip, and, overcoming
all obstacles, captured New Orleans, aud re-
stored the unobstruoted navigation to the lm-
mercial emporium Of the great central valley Of
| the Union.
The Bay of Mobile was not only fortified and
guarded by forts and batteries on shore and by
submerged DISTINCTIONS but the Rebels had also
collected there formidable fleet, commanded
by their highest naval officer, former Captain
in the Union Navy, who false to the Government
and the Union, had deserted his country in the
hour of peril, and leveled his guns against the
flag which it was his duty to have defended
The possession Of Mobile Bay which you have
acquired will close tue Illicit traffic which has
been carried on by running the blockade in that
part OF the gulf, and gives point and value to
the success you have achieved Great results
IN war are seldom obtained without great risks.
and it was not expected that the possession q
The harbor Of Mobile would be secured without
dsaster.
The loss Of the faithful Craven and his brave
companions, with the Tecumseh, vessel tha
was invulnerable to the guns of Fort Morgan
by concealed torpedo, was casualty agains
which no human foresight could guard against.
While the nation awards cheerful honors I,
the living, she will ever hold in grateful remem
branee the memory of tho gallant and lamentej
dead, who periIed their lives for their countr,
and died in her cause.
To you and the brave officers and sailors o
, your squadron who participated in this grea
, , achievement, the Department tenders its thank
and those of the Government and country.
Very respectfully, GIDEON WELLrs,
Secretary Of the Navy.
