AAA ~ -
The attention Of the Government has been
called to the suffering condition Of the resi-
dents In rebel districts within our army
lines, and we are glad to note the promise Of
the adoption Of a plan to bring relief to these
unfortunates.
In the Senate, yesterday, Wilson Of MasBa-
chusetts launchcd hcayy shell ut the traitor
Dayis Of Kentucky, which, even though it
may not oust tllat blatant advocate Of seces-
sion, will startlc him into more dccency.
Yesterday the forty-ninth anniversary of
tho battle Of New Orleans called up psomi-
alcntly before the people the memory of the
hero Of that great event. Andrew Jackson's
name deserves even higher honors as the first
statesman to meet ut the threshold the ear
Hest proposition Of rebellion, and to meet II
with the threat Of hanging the first rebel.
Had he indeed hung Calhoun, the bloodshod
OF cur day wou1d have hocn.spased this gen
Grafton.
Tho death Of TAaakeray is announced. An
other illustrious name has passed from those
Of living men, to takc its Plaee among the
Btars. Elsewhere NC give place to sketch
of tho literary career Of the illustrious de-
GGascd
cicnt extracts from the immense report Of
Gen. Mcclellan. This Is all Of this interest
ing military history tllat will appear in these
columns. The rest will be found in the
1,000 pages, large duodec1mo, now in the
hands Of the Government printer. 4 mouu.

Other great commanders hive eoIled a few
pages Of foolscap to tell how they did It, and
wlat they did. It was left for Little Mac to
build up m immense verbal structure, with
cracks carefully puttied, to conceal his fail

something suggestive Of the fear this hero

CONTROVERSY.
We insert this morning IN elaborate de-
fcnse Of the steam machinery introduced into
our naval vessels By B. Isherwood, Engineer
in-cllief Of The United States Navy, going to
show that or new steam sloops are possessed
of sufficient speed The first half Of tho ar
ticle is devoted to an attack on a New York
Attorney named E. n. Dickerson, who Is IN
tcrested in The patent known as the sickles'
<scut-ofl." In the now famous case Of Mat
ting rs. the Washington Steamship Company,
1sherwood the Nnrn1 Engineer was intro
duccd rs witness against the plaintiff and
eWore strongly against the Sick1cs' cut
off," proaouncing it a useless humbug and
denying that 1t saved fuel or Increased speed.
Dfckersou was sent for to New York and
came to Washington in hot haste and took
hold OF tie case. he introduced Witnesses to
prove thnt the Sick1es' "cut-ofr'' was NIL It's
inventor c1aimed for it, and then opened q
vigorous attack on the style Of engines intro
duced into the navy by 1shcrwood, alleging
against The latter corruption md ignorance,
and coutcnding that he was nsing his high
position In the navy to make money for him
self md friends, and that no steamer built
under his supervision possessed the spccd
requisite to catch the British built blockade
Iunncrs.
Tic statement on the other side NC publish
this morning, alleges that Dlckerson himself
as an engine builder, is humbug, and has
botcAcd everything he has undertaken. Two
prominent cases arc adduced and discussed at
great length: an engine for the Watcr Works
of Detroit and the engine put into the naval
steamer Pensacola. AS here slated, the
showing makes strong case against Dicker-
son. On the Other hand, in his speech on the
trial, Dickcsson gives wholly different ycr-
ion Of the Pensacola engines. and asserts
Tint their 1aflure to perform satisfactory was
III consequence Of the deadly hostility of
IsLcrwood, who broke l,cm down. and was
resolved that they should not succeed. as that
would Interfere with his own pet plans and
devices. Without passing Judgment On the
merits Of this fierce controversy between
Diclesson aud 1sherwood, We are bound to
say, TINT 1t is a very pretty fight. Sometime
five can spare the space we may give por-
ton Of Dickcrson's version Of the matter.
As 1t stands, the country is certainly lily
served In It's steam navy, paying large sums
for small results, that would shame any pri-
yatc contractor. 1t Will be well if this asita-
tion Of the matter rids The naval service Of the
evils ttat arc reciprocaliy charged to both the
conteeting parties. But ut present, like the
recent Camp Fry imbroglio In this city. where
the soldiers were frozen but nobody to blame.
We hare a steam navy needing reform. buf
every officer connected with It's construction
1as done Ills full duty. Let the "ialline oat"
perfect its results.

SHor.-A young mana raftsman-
was killed Tuesday night at Montrose.
The particulars, as we gathered them, are
As follows:
The murdered man, with two compan-
ions, entered the saloon of John Lamotte
and took drink. His companions went
ont, and Lamotte asked the young man to
pay for the liquor. He refused, saying
he had not called for it. Some violent
words passed between them, and tho young
man left the saloon. Just then some stones
were thrown and struck the saloon.
Whether the young man was concerned
in it does not appear but Lamotte i'm
mediately shot him. the shot taking afect
ia his breast and chest. He sprang back
into the saloon saying be was shot, and
died almost instantly. About one hun.
dred shot were extracted from his body
A truly tragical affair.
