a Naval Fight t.

There is a good deal Of eXultation over the
naval exploit of Chilli in the first engagement
of her war with Spain. The Chilinoes CALAMITY
took the initiative and gained success, but
we do not perceive that there was much TO
brag of The Chill vessel, the ESmeralda, was
a steam corvette of about nine hundred tons,
carrying eighteen guns, twenty tours anu 'hlr-
ty-twos. The Spanish vessel, the Virgin, was
a dispatch boat carrying only three rlned
guns, one thirty-two and two slXty-elght-
Founders. The number of men in each Vessel
was about the same but as the flrlng was dohe
at the distance of nearly half mile, and there
was no coming TO close quarters, there could
be no test of the relative prowess OF the TWO
combatants. The Esmcralda fired fifteen shots,
nearly all of which hit the Virgin and the
Virgin fired nine, but none of them hurt the
Esmerolda The com bat In ted twenty minutes,
when the little Spaniard, who had been pound
ed to pieces by the heavier armament ana supe-
rior runnery OF his antagonist, hauled down
his flag When it is added that the Esmeralda
was commanded by an Englishman, JOHN Will
IIAMs and that her first lieutenant, Mr..
TuoNpsoS was an American, we are unable TO
discover how Chill is entitled TO any special
! glorification for such an achievement.
| The sympathies of Americans must, of
| course, be with American Powers i'll contests
with European nations, and especially when
they are the weaker party. Spain would have
| shown more wisdom III avoiding collision
with Chill, but itseems very absurd and I'M
just to parade such a:naval action as this as
any proof that the Spanish are inferior to the
Chilians in the capacity of sea fights. Our
own great commanders in the last war with
England would hardly have considered 1t any
great feather in their caps, with such ship as
the Esmeralda, TO whip a gunboat like the
Virgin. We dare say that the WILLIAMS"
and "THoMPsoNs"' are somewhat astonished
at the fame they have won, and wear their ho-
nors meekly. but for the WILLIAMS, THoMP-
SONS, JoNEss, SMITHS, JoHSsoNs, Browns and
BLACKS, who are always found in command
of South American ships, the ocean in those
ATTITUDES would be entirely Pacific.
Poor old Spain Once the mistress of the
seas and almost of the shore, now to be
humbled by Gillian corvette, and booted by
WILLIAMS and THOMPSON. Let her confine
herself 10 the other hemisphere. Chill may
be a small affair, but the WILLIAas's and
! THoaPsoNs are innumerahle, and intend 10
/ keep America for the Americans.

DIVORCE MADE EAsY.-The Senate of Mis-
souri, has before il bill to facilitate the di-
yorcement of such husbands and wives as find
the bonds Of hyInen not easy to be borne. The
bill, as originally reported, went very far ir
that latitudinarian policy which is rapidly un-
dermining the sanctity of themarriage relation
in this country; but it did not go far enough
to suit the ideas of some of the Senators. Ac-
cordingly, motion was made to amend so as
10 make habitual intemperance for the space
of one year sufficient cause for divorce. An
amendment was offered TO this amendment
providing that if the habit of intemperance
was acquired before marriage divorce should
not be granted 1t was argued that If the
husband was Incorporate before marriage,
and the wife united her fortunes TO his with a
knowledge of his vice. she ought not 10 be en-
titled TO divorce. But the Senate, animated
by a double zeal for distressed wives and for
the cause of temperance, voted down the
amendment 10 the amendment.

French and virginian Line of Steamers.

French and Virginian Line OF Steamers.
The bill for the ocean line of steamers con-
Meeting Virginia with Europe direct, which
was passed by the Legislature before its recess,
will be followed up, il is TO be hoped, by
vigorous prosecution of those works of inter
nal Improvement, the completion of which is
essential 10 the support of direct trade. A
Norfolk contemporary states that the steamers
will be al once put on the ocean line by the
St. Nazaire Navigation Company. With the
success of this line n new era of commercial
prosperity will dawn upon Virginia. Hitherto
one half of the profits on our exports have
gone TO the coasting trade and commission
merchants of Northern cities. The conse-
ouence is, that the harbor Of Norfolk, the finest
harbor on the North American continent, in
stead of being crowded with the commerce
of the world can only exhibit n fleet of
OYSTER boats If Virginia can succeed in esta-
blishing direct commercial communication
with Europe, Norfolk will rise 10 the dignity,
mdica ted for her by nature, of great sea port.
But to secure this end her business men should
take the lead in urging on the extension OF the
Central railroad and the James River canal,
the former aflording, rs we lately showed in
this journal, the most direct route for emigra-
ton from Europe ria ST. NaZaire and Norfolk
~ the heart of the American continent ana
the latter capable of supplying cargoes for a
whole fleet of Great Easterns.
With the introduction of capital and enter
prise from other States and countries, new
stimulus will be given 10 commercial and in
dustrial enterprises, and those extraordinary
| natural advantages of Virginia which have
beenEso long and shamefully neglected VIII be
| turned TO account. We shall have ships owned
by Tirginians, and become the carriers OF our
own products as we'll as those OF others.
| 1t is to be hoped that the pioneer enterprise
| the ST. Nazaire and Norfolk line, will belnau-
gurated in time 10 accommodate portion OF
: the large European immigration which is an
ticipatcd in the spring, and to land it direct
! nDon our shores.

Admiral SenlmeS.

When we first learned that this gallant Of
ficer had been arrested we were AT a loss 10
know what charge was alleged against MN
We presumed, of course, IL could not be PIRACY,
for he was regularly commissioned officer
under the Confederate Government, and car
ried on war in manner recognized as legltl-
mate by all nations which have not acceded to
the terms of the Convention OF Paris. he
was not even a privateer. He was the COM
mander of a public ship. We supposed it
would be quite as proper TO arrest and try
General LEE, for If SEMMEs was a water pirate
LEE was a land pirate; understanding the
word pirate as ii is defined by the law books
that is, 'an enemy of the human race" or,
more properly, of all nations. II his offences
had even been piratical, we supposed he would
have been exempted by having received Gene
raj SHERaAN's parole when he surrendered
with the rest of General JoHSsToS's army
We soon found, however, that there was no
charge Of piracy against him, but that he was
accused of having induced the kearsarge in
her battle with the Alabama to cease firing
by hosting a white flag, in token of sub
mission, and of having escaped under cover of
that flag.
This version of the escape does not CORES
pond with our recollection of the affair. We
were under the impression that the Alabama
was sinking when she struck, and that before
she could be taken. possession Of she was going
down 80 rapidly that Captain SENaEs was
either washed overheard, or leaped overheard
to save his life, and was picked up by a boat
belonging 10 a neutral vessel. Whether. under
such circumstances, he was bound according
10 the laws of war, 10 surrender himself TO
the enemy, must admit, at least, Of a doubt
since there has been an infinite deal of discus
sion on the point. Besides, has not every
prisoner Of war a right to escape If he can I?
The Affirmative of that question is sustained
by the conduct OF the Federal officers who es-
capped after surrender, in the Merrimac affair,
and who received the appreciation Of their Co.
vernment, as alluded TO yesterday In an arti-
Gle extracted from the Norfolk V1roinfan.
But, even admitting Admiral SEnxEs to have
been guilty OF the offence with which ne Ia
charged. IL should not be forgotten that IL was
perpetratsd In time OF war, and that war no
longer exists. II tried, he must be tried under
the laws OF war, and In time OF peace. Accord.
Ing TO q very recent decision, the laws OF war
are superseded IN time Of peace by the civil
law. Nor does there any longer exist any

thing at all about the printing business. 1t is
fact not generally known, perhaps, that the public
printers for the State of Virginia for many years
past though editors of newspapers, were not prac-
teal printers and had to rely entirely upon others
with perhaps carte bldnche) to execute the work,
calculate the costs, fix the profits and certify the
accounts. Now, any one acquainted with the bust
ness can readily see that the old plan of selecting
such men is liable to many abuses and | would
respectfully suggest to the Legislature if ii would
not be well. in their attempt at reform, to look
around and if they cannot fix upon printer
(either by election or conract) who is master Of
his profession, has reputation for competency and
integrity and who has not been connected with the
abuses complained of or allied to political organ
cations Let them inquire how many OF those who
