vessels.

The termination of the rebellion found our
Government in the preparation Of large
fleet of new and improved naval vessels to
meet any EXPERIMENTATION by foreign in
reference in our national affairs or otherwise,
that might arise. Among them were seven
teen frst-class sloops of war, which will COM
bine great speed and more than the usual in
vulnerabii1ty of wooden vessels. The build
ing of so formidable feet of this class of
vessels in preference to iron clads was forced
upon the Navy Department, based upon the
opinions of skilled naval and nautical men,
who unanimously declared that the former
class iron clads) could not be made servicea-
BILE for the cruisers. The fleet above described
and named below are all contracted for, sew
eral are LAUGHED and the remainder are on the
stocks. Those that have been launched thus
far are remarkable for their fine lines and
clean MODELS and they bear every character
istic of fast sailers. The following is the list
of the new fleet:

The LABOR QUESTION. The troubles
among the shipwrights, and other engaged
in our ship-yards, still continue to exist, there
having as yet been no satisfactory basis of set
Element proposed by either the employers or
employees In the meantime, however, the
shipwrights of East Baltimore, including the
joiners, carpenters, and painters, have resumed
their labor at several points by taking con-
tracts for work from the owners themselves,
thus ignoring the employers to certain ex-
tent. This, however will leave many unem-
ployed, who are quietly awaiting further de-
velopments in the issue between them and
their former employers, and for the present
the shi pbuilding interest of East Baltimore
are suffering from the cessation of labor in the
yards.--Baltimore Gazette, 14M.

Important Correspondence.

Neso York. Oct. 1.-Two important his
torical letters are published in to-day's Post.
The first, dated 9th March, 1884, is from
Grant to Sherman, informing him of his APP
pointment as lieutenant general.
In bidding him goodbye, Grant says his
previous success is due to his energy, skill, and
harmonious putting forth OF the skill and en-
ergy of those who occupied subordinate posi-
tons under him. To Sherman and McPher-
son above all others he felt indebted for his
success. he concludes as follows:
CHOW far yours and McPherson's execution
OF whatever has been given you to do entities
you to the reward I am receiving, you cannot
know Us well as l."
Sherman, under date of March, 10, replies,
saying Grant does him (Sherman) and Nc
Person too much honor. He tells him that he
is now in Washington's place, and occupies
place of dangerous elevation, but if he contin-
ues to be himself as heretofore, simple and
honest and unpretending, he will, through
life, enjoy the respect and love of his friends
and the homage of Millions He repeats that
Grant did him and Mcpherson too much hon.
or; the former illustrated his traits at Bel
mont and Donelson, and astonished Sherman,
especially at the latter place.
He believes Grant brave, patriotic, and Just
as his great prototype, Washington; but his
chief virtue was the faith he had in ultimate
success; faith which Sherman likens to that
of Christian i'll his Saviour. His faith, he
says, gave Grant his victories at Shiloh Vicks-
burg and Chattanooga.
The only doubts Sherman ever had of
Grant and his knowledge of grand strategy
and of books of science and history, but he
confesses Grants common sense supplied all
these. He concludes by advising Grant not
to stay in Washington, but come West, and
and clean out the whole Mississippi Valley
He is sure that under his leadership it can be
done. After that he thinks short work can
be done of Charleston and Richmond.

is raging all through the State, and although
every precaution has been taken to prevent its

probably will continue to do SO all through
the winter. Efforts have been made there to
engage physicians for the small pox hospitals,

A Curious Story.

The following story appears in late num-
ber of the New Frankfort Gazette:
A few days before the Grand Duke Con-
stantine's last visit to Berlin, a commissioner
of the Polishh National Government arrived
there with Swedish passport from stock
holm. On presenting himself to his fellow
commissioner in the Prussian capital, the lat
ter informed him that two Russian officers,
who had formerly served in the instruction,
had determined to assassinate the Grand Duke
on bis arrival, wishing to revenge themselves
upon him for having ordered three of their
comrades to be shot. The two commissioners
feeling that such an act would only bring dis
grace on the Polish cause, determined to pre-
vent it, and at the same time not to betray the
officers in question. They then began to
search all over the town, for the officers, and
at last, after wandering about for four days,
they met one OF them in cab They fol-
lowed him to the Russian embassy, where he
alighted and asked the porter when the Grand
Duke was to arrive. The porter answered,
Tomorrow evening, at 10 o'clock.
The officer then turned away, and was
about to get into his cab, when he was stopped
by one of the Poles, who thus addressed him:
Sir, you are Russian officer: you have
served in the Polish army, and you intend to
murder the Grand Duke of Constantine
Come with me at once to the Polish Commits
sioner, Or l will have you arrested by the
Prussian police" The officer, young man of
twenty-seven, then allowed himself to be taken
to hotel, and to be shut up in a room, where
the two Poles mounted guard upon him in
turn. The other officer was captured by nine
or ten Poles, resident in Berlin, who had pro-
cecded to the railway station for that purpose,
and six-shooter was found upon him. A
quarter of an hour afterward the Grand Duke
arrived at the station, with the brother of tbs
King of Prussia and the Prussian Ambassa-
dor, little thinking that he owed his life to his
most determined enemies, the Poles.

THE ELECTIONS.

The elections which have been and are to
be held this season are not wholly without
interest. The reports which we have already
from Vermont show us that New England,
now more unanimously than ever, stands by
her glorious faith. In New York the con-
test has not yet opened but by the time this
reaches our renders We shall probably have
learned that there, as in Maine, the COPPER
head serpent is endcavoring to put on some
other less rcpulsye shape. In New Jersey
he makes no effort to hide his fangs but he
will doubtless be more modest after the elcc.
tion, for he will then, we reckon, be
harmless as dove, and it is possible he
may at the same time become wiser
serpent. Pennsylvania holds an election
for minor officers and she is all right
In Ohio, Long and MORGAN, the rival fac
tiOnists Of so-called Democracy, will both Le
buried deeper than NALLANDIGHAM - the
only question to be decided being that pre-
sented by Mr. SHERMAN and Gen. ScHEsCK
as to the Senatorial succession. In Iowa the
COppcrheads have fairly given up the con
test, covering their retreat under the gen.
eralship Of Mr.. +, J. PORTER, gentleman
whose efforts in that line if we may judge by
his doings at Gaincs's Mills, in 1862, do not
give any lattering promise of success. In
California the election which took place on
Tuesday will result in very exciting can.
yass-we trust it will not degenerate into an
unseemly squabble-iu the Legislature for
the Senatorship.
But it is to the lately rcvolted States that
we look for the solution Of the great problem
of the day. The President has opened wide
the door for their return and they will
chow, in their elections to be held during the
coming ninety days, in what spirit they ac-
cept the mHgnanimous propositions of the
Chief Magistrate. Not from the writings Of OBJ
scure journalists, who fear to find their occu-
patton gone when they can no longer devo,e
themselves to the work Of firing the southern
heart with hatred of the Government and of
those who administer it, not from the insane
rawlings Of drunken pardon-scek in the
streets and at the hotels; not altogether Fl om
the acts Of conventions composed of men
scarcely yet free from the incubus Of the
Conlederacyi not from the sayings and dongs
