The SULLIVAN CoURr MARrrAL.-Tbe
court martial convened to investigate Ger.
tain charges made against the LOYALTY of
Capt. Sullivan by D. O. Mccarthy, has
developed the fact that there was no earth.
ly ground for the accusation. Capt. Sui.
Ivan, rho is Chief Commissary of Sub.
sistence, was charged in two different ar
ticles in the Flag, one headed CONTRACTS
Let on the Sly" and the other IA Shod-
dy Arrangement" with corruption in Civ
ing out contracts. Mccarthy of the Flag,
when before the court.martial, testified
that he knew nothing ofthe matter except
what he heard from Mr. Beal, reporter of
the Commercial Gazette and Shipping
Register. Mr.. Bcal was sent Gar ~VVl ~
denied any knowledge OF the authorship
Of the articles in the Flag, and Of their con.
tents. 1t was then stated by Mccarthy
that Castle Brothers and Mr.. M. P. Jones,
merchants on Front street, we're the gen.
tlemen who first made the charges against
Sullivan. They we're likewise sent for
and examined, and disclaimed all knowl-
edge Of the affair. So far it seems that
the charges were made in the Flag for the
purpose of compelling Capt Sullivan to
advertise in the Flag instead of the Even.

Tue FIRST NEWSPAPER Several con.
Trajectory statements have been made in
regard to the commencement of journal
ism. Agnes Strickland, in her Life Of
Queen Elizabeth, says that the first gen.
uine newspaper was the English Mercurie,
which was issued by the Government dur.
ing the progress of the Spanish Armada,
to prevent the circulation of false reports.
This paper was printed by Christopher
Barker, the Queens printer, and the first
number was dated July 23d, 1858. The
"lnvincible Armada" was fitted out by
Philip II, King of Spain, and when it en-
tered the English Channel, consisted of
one hundred and fifty ships. It was at.
tackled by the English fleet ofeighty ships,
and the battle lasted sixteen days, result.
ing in the defeat of the Spanish fleet. A
terrible storm completed the destruction
Of the Armada.

The STANDARD REDUCED. A late order
OF the War Department reduces the min.
imum standard of hight required from
volunteers from five feet three inches to
five feet; or in other words, volunteers Of
only five feet in hight will be accepted,
and the "shortics" who have been signing
for an opportunity to serve their country
on the battle field, but couldn't get in on
account Of their size, will now have a
chance to 60 in and win glory and green
backs ad libitum.

McCLELLAS receives the smallest vote
of any Presidential candidate except at
the election in 1904, when Pinckney; the
Federal candidate, had only II votes
Republican ex.
1t is true that, owing to the loss of sew
eral Of the States by very close votes,
General Mcclellan has small number Of
electors, but he has nearly double those
cast for Stephen \. Douglas, in 1861
Douglas received II electoral votes and
Mcclellan 81 votes. This is, however. no
indication OF his popular strength. Lin
coin received one electoral vote for every
ten thousand of the peoples votes that he
got. General Mcclellan. on the contrary,
is only credited with an electoral vote for
every ninety thousand of his popular vote.
In other words, Lincoln received nine
electoral votes on the same amount Of
strength that gave General Mcclellan one.
1t is not wonderful, therefore, that there
is great disproportion Of electors. Look
at it /: !, ZOO. 600 Of the peoples votes give
General Mcclellan 81 electoral votes; L.
csc. 900 of the peoples votes give Lincoln
2lO electoral votes. Mcclellan and Pen
deton have received more votes from the
people than were ever given to any Pres
ident or Vice President elected, with the
single exception Of Lincoln and johnson.
This may be very bad and overwhelm'
ing defeat, but if it is We fail to see it,

To THE IsLANDs.-Such was the order OF
the day yesterday. The GazeIle, coming home
last evening, was literally covered all over
with men, women and children who had been
on avisit to the Islands. The day was bright
and beautiful, but the ocean breezes were so
light that they failed TO cool the air down to a
comfortable degree. 1t was so hot the mack
erel did not sport on the surface ofthe sea, but
as the fishermen said, "they went to the bot
tom to ind coo.er quarters.ps Long before
night the water was white with the sails of the
returned mackerel catchers. We have never
seen our harbor SO crowded with vessels. Yes
tetday there was not mackerel to be seen
bit the day previous the ocean was covered
with them; so said the fishermen. Fish have
their own peculiar habits, and keep SO much
out sight that we have much less knowledge
OF them than We have of warm-blooded ami
mails. The glorious uncertainty of angling
is one Gifts peculiar charms. % ioas
