that of the Plantagenets, and just as the
muzzle-loader has been reduced to- a
mere fraction of its value by the inven-
ton of breech-loaders, the ships which
twenty years ago were said to make
England impregnable, and to console us
for the want of unlimited armies, are now
found to be useless against a ship that
hardly shows itself above the water, and
that can discharge with perfect steadiness
and accuracy a projectlIe which even our
best armour-plating is not quite proof
against. But if even our best and latest
ships have now to consider how they
may fare in the hands of this new anita
gonist, what hope is there for swarms of
obsolete curiosities now encumberlng our
anchorages?
It is almost oppressive to think of the
immense amount Of resistance that will
inevitably be reused by any attempt TO
bring our Navy up to the mark Of the
day. In the first place, there is the enor-
NOUS mass Of costly property to be sa-
cri6ccd, pulled to pieces for the materi-
ais, or sold for an cold song" Anybody
be ready to shed tears at the thought of
such solid constructions and such excel
lent material being thrown away. The
worship of work and Of material is natu-
raj to all of US, but man is q still finer
piece of workmanship and a still more
costly material, and we cannot afford TO
pile sailors in tall ships where they are
as devoted 10 destruction as the captives
said to be crammed into huge figures of
wickerwork by our British forefathers
and burnt in honour of their gods. 1t is
hardly reasonable to expect that anybody
who has had a share in the creation of
one of our magnificent three-deckers
should ever consent to its destruction,
or cvon its disnse. it is fortunate that the
stern sentence may have TO be pronounce
ed by others. This obstruction NAV be
got over. Another remains, which we
confess gives us greater anxiety. The
officers of Her Majesty's naval service
are a very gallant body of men, and they
are prepared to brave the foe and fury of
the elements but they will not easily be
persuaded to live below the water line
and to be supplied with air by a steam
engine. 1t is said that these vessels are
much more comfortable and agreeable
than could be anticipated, that there is
no feeling of insecurity, and that the
temperature is well kept down; but
when we see the obstinate %unpopularity
of our iron-clads, we can scarcely hope
to see the day when the flagship of the
Mediterranean Fleet will only rise 36
inches out of the water. We wait for
war to convert old sailors to such a no.
velty as this. But how many ships and
how many noble crews that no money
can replace may be sent to the bottom
before Admirals can be brought to rea-
son 1t is the public, not the service,
that will lead the way and now, if ever,
is the time TO inquire into the changes of
the art of naval warfare, naval gunnery,
and naval construction, as they affect the
ships and vessels now composing Her
Majesty's navy.-Ibid.

Execution of the HeFernan Murderers
3 el' % '&a at Nashville

2
I This long anticipated event took place on
Friday last The public is familiar with the
circumstances of the horrid murder of Mr..
William Hefernan, one of. the most exem-
splary,. useful, and highly esteemed citizens
of Nashville, which occurred on the night of
November 22d, 1865. At thirteen minutes
after twelve o clock on Friday, the culprits
paid the heignominious price of their inhuman
crime on the gallows. The Press and Times
says It was a scene worthy of Hogarth' 8
pencil, and the pen of Dickens.
In the angle of the prison wall, seated
on benches about the glowing stove, sat the
condemned The high, cold, white-washed
walls, the barred-in, inaccessible windows
with their dim and prison lights the freez-
ing pavement the sickly jaiI-like smell
which aUiI pervade a prison, no matter how
cleanly-the ranging galleries with their
rows of. opened cells the curious crowd (;
the vOluble gossipers, who knew more than
/ anybody else; the uniformed representa-
tives Of war on duty bent Beside the pris-
oners sat the priest, IN low tones admOnish-
ing them of the briefness Of time, In terms
only for the ears of those who have
to meet the last dread hour face to facs.
We are glad to learn from Father Bergrath
that he considers their condition spiritually
as an evidence of repentance and pardon,
and that he had administered the sacrament
on "Wednesday to all four of the feiOns.
And yet, when the priest left them for a
time they INDUCED In ribaldry. Lysaught

ARTEMus WARD ON TRAITons.-Artemus
Ward, in q letter to "Punch," describing
his visit to the tower of London, thus
speaks of traitors: "a warden took us in
charge, and showed us the 'Traiter's
Gate,' the armers and things. The Trai-
ter's Gate is wide enough to admit about
twenty traiters abreast, l should jedge;
but beyond this I couldn't see that it was
superior to gates in gen'ral. Traitors, I
will here remark, are a onfortnit class of
people. If they wasn't they wouldn't be
traiters. They conspire to break no g
country-they fail, 6 they're traiters.--
They bust her, and they become states
men an heroes.
"Take the case of Gloster, afterwards
Old Dick the Three, who ma be seen at
the tower on horseback, in heavy tin
overcoat-take Mr.. GIoster's case. Mr..
G., was conspirator of the basest dye,
and had he failed he would have been
hung on sour apple-tree. But Mr.. g.,
succeeded, and became great. He was
slowed by Colonel Richmend, but he lives
in history, and his equestrian fgger may
be seen daily for six pence, in conjunction
with other eminent persons, and no extra
charge for the Warden's able and butiful
lectur"

Consolation for the People.

To such of our Southern friends as are
about frightened out of their propriety at
the growls of old man Stevens & Co., we
would commend the following sensible
and philosophic article, copied from the
Richmond Examiner
The truly philosophic mind-and such
our Southern people have proven them
selves to possess-can evoke some embers
of comfort out Of whatsoever ash-heap of
adversity. Such a mind is, in fact, the
legitimate product of a brave endurance
of misfortune or of care. 1t is the mind
of Candide, who, after experiencing the
mishaps of world, was happy to culti-
vate his garden. It is the mind of Dio-
clesian, who put aside the cares Of State
in the contemplation of his big cabbages
It is the mind of that humane little beg
gar, who, shivering under his only bed
Clothes. door, would compassionately
say to his mother: "How badly off the
poor people must be who have NO door
to cover them p
This philosophic Southern mind has at
present a real and substantial comfort in
the fact that, morally and physically
speaking, the political "outer darkness"
into which Radicalism has so kindly cast
us, is, after all, simply not very dim and
quite endurable twilight. In other words,
that part of US, Individually and socially,
which is put to torture or even to incon-
venience by political wrong or disability,
however great soever, bears such small
proportion to the entirety of our individ-
ual and social being, that the hurt redu-
ces itself into q mere -bite-something
to vince at, it may be, but not to be
dreaded, nor to cause real concern. Prac-
tically viewed, there is not mosquito in
the swamps of the Chickahominy but can
occasion man more real worry than oil
the madness of the revolutionists in Con-
gress. For this political existence of o
man has no more influence upon his real
existence-providcd he takes the matter
philosophically-than the smoke of foul
chimney has influence upon the miles OF
atmosphere above us. 1t may vex us,
unfolding our paper at breakfast, to read
of the congregation of knaves and tools
at Washington, but we drink our coffee
nevertheless, eat our eggs and rolls, talk
with our wives and children, and 60 to
our affairs with countenances whose Sc.
renity is nowise disturbed Can we call
that genuine disability which does not
interfere with our digestions Why, one
twinge of the gout were worse than all
the debates ever chronicled in the Con-
oressionaZ Globe One pang OF the tooth
ache can breed more blue-deylls than ever
were conjured by the united energies Of
Butler and Stevens.

The bill which Senator Yates intro
duced today, relates to the publication OF
the constitutional amendment, which pro-
vides that upon information being receiv-
ed by the Secretary of the Senate and the
Clerk of the House, of the ratification of
any of the amendments to the Constitu-
tion by the requisite number of States
duly qualified to pass upon the same, it
shall be the duty of the President of the
Senate and the Clerk of the House to
publish the same in the newspapers now
authorized to publish the laws, specifying
under their signatures that the amend
ment has been adopted, and is now valid
and binding as part of the Constitution,
in the same manner as formerly certified
to by the Secretary of the State. The
object of this bill is to deprive the Presl-
dent and Secretary of State of any action
in the premises.
In the House, Mr.. Paine introduced
bill to erect q light house at the entrance
to Mendate Harbor, Michigan; which WAS
referred to the Committee on Commerce.
On motion of Mr. Hartliffe, delegation
of three from the Committee on Public
Expenditures was authorized to proceed
to New York to finish taking the testi-
mony in reference to custom house frauds
Mr.. Scbofeld introduced bill to extend
the Jurisdiction of the United States Dis
trict Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania; which was referred to the
Judiciary Committee Also, bill rela-
tive to rank and pay of army officers;
which was referred to the Committee on
Military Affairs. Mr. Cooper presented
the credentials of Mr.. Wiley, Representa-
tive from the second Congressional Dis
trict of Alabama; which were referred to
the Reconstruction Committee. Mr.. Bid
we'll offered resolution instructing the
Post Office Committee to inquire into the
expediency of re-establishing another
overland mail route from San Francisco,
via Los Angeles, to Memphis, which was
adopted. Mr.. Jencks, from the Commit
tee on Civil Service, reported substitute
for the civil service bill which was re-
committed, and ordered to be printed
Under the call for reports of committees,
Brundigo, from the Naval Committee,
reported bill for paying to the comman-
der of the Pride of the Navy his pay from
July 16, 1862, as if the order discharging
had never been issued. A discussion
arose on the bill, Washburne, of Illinois,
opposingit it, on the ground that it propos-
ed to give pay to the officer for the time
he was out of the service. The bill was
finally referred to the Committee on
Claims. Lawrence, of Pennsylvania, in
troduced a bill repeating the fourteenth
section of the Act Of July %, 1866, to
protect the revenue, and ordering the di-
rect tax commissioner, in any insurrec-
tionary districts, to impose the fifty per
cent. penalty and ten per cent. per annum
interest on paid taxes; which was re.
ferred to the Committee on Ways and
Means.
Congress has agreed to adjourn from
the 10th instant until Sd of January.

BEAUr1rUL.-When the summer day
of youth is slowly wasting away into the
nightfali OF age, and the shadows of the
past years grow deeper and deeper, as il
life wears to close, it is pleasant to look
back through the vista OF time upon the
joys and sorrows Of our earlier years. 1t
we have home to shelter and hearts to
rejoice with us, and friends who have
been gathering around Our fresides, then
the rough places Of our wayfarlng VIII
be worn and smoothed away in the twi-
light of life, while the bright, sunny spots
we have passed through will grow bright
er and more beautiful. Happy indeed
are they whose intercourse with the
world has not changed the course of their
holier feelings or broken those musical
chords of the heart whose vibrations are
so melodious, SO tender and touching in
the evening of age.

A CHEERING S1aN.-The English pa
pers record, with expressions of surprise
at it's novelty, the fact that several large
ship loads of emigrants have recently left
their shores for the Southern States. The
bulk of these emigrants seem to have
gone to Texas, because u belief exists
amongst foreigners that not only are po-
litical troubles and civil disturbances at
an end in that State. but they are less
likely to recur there for the future, than
in any other portion Of tho South. The
fact that all of these emigrants were the
best and most respectable class of Eng
lish, Scotch and Welch agriculturists, in
dicates what choice portion of foreign
immigration would seek the South, if our
enemies would only permit the pacifica-
tion and repose Of our country. If We
had only fair showing, it would be seen
that whielthe North and West got all the
undesirable Teuton element, that we
would get the pick of Anglo-Saxon and
Latin races. The foreign clement which
has settled in the South, though not large,
has always been eminently respectable.
We have never had those ;hordes of Eu-
ropean paupers and convicts which have
rushed to the North and West as to places
just suited for them. None OF this class
of emigrants fancy the South they ma
nothing congenial here; they flock where
there are birds of like feather, and we
make no protest against it.-R'chn'oa@

A JEALOUS HUsBAND-HE FINDS PAIR
OF BooTs.-One of the little episodes in
life occurred night before last that should
be lesson to all jealous husbands. There
is family living in one of the best loca-
ted houses in South Memphis, whose
worldly means are above the fear of want.
Tho wife is one of those generous hearted
women who loves her husband with all
the devotion of true. heart; but her lord
is one of those mixtures of the brute, with
an occasional good trait. He, however,
loves his better-half, but allows his love
to be lost in his jealousy. The lady has
been in the habit Of meeting his lordship
at the door each evening with welcome
kiss. It 30 happens thatfor over month
the green-eyed monster has interrupted
their domestic bliss, although the faithful
wife never missed meeting her husband
at the door with the usual greeting of o
kiss. On Friday night, however, the
brute went home later than usual-some.
thing near ten o'clock, and the wife had
retired. Not meeting her at the door, he
iealously arose to fighting point, and he
instantly went to the back door, expect
ing to find mares nest; and sure enough
he did. The first thing he saw, after en-
tering the house, was pair of boots! !!
have him, thoug hit he. He next locked
the boots in closet, and obtained light
he entered his sleeping apartment, but to
his astonishment, he found only his wife
He next searched the house from top TO
bottom, but no Don Juan could DO seen; D.
We need not say that the night was passed
most unpleasantly to both husband ana
wife. The brute, however, told his bet,
ter.balf that he had her lovers boots, and
through them he would yet know the
scoundrel. Divorce was talked Of, and
the wifes protestation that she was in.
nocent only brought the reply OF "boots" !"
She cried, II am not guilty" and he vo-
ciferated "boots." Morning at last came,
and the enraged husband went for his
shoe loather-he brought them up stairs,
shaking them in his wifes face, when
upon close examination, the discovery
was made that they were his own boots
The wife, like sensible woman, forgave
him, and she has only to say "boots!" to
make her husband plead for mercy
