THE AMERICAN A V

A visit to the n~avy-yards at Washing
ton and New York will afford IA convinc-
ing proof of the determination of the
Americans to profit by every lesson
which they learnt during their recent
war. During the last three years of that
great struggle the ingenuity of the peo-
pie was turned solely to- the improve
ment Of warlike appliances, and conse-
quently the lists in the Patent-ofice in
clude comparatively few inventions in
tended for manufacturing or domestic
purposes. All the skill of a sharp-witt-
ed race was bent upon "a particular sub
jrct, and the number and variety of new
arms or plans for constructing iron ships
which were laid before the Government
are past calculation. The necessities
of the weaker side led to the first and
greatest invention of the Wharf.-The iron
clad. The Merrimac was cut down and
covered with old railway iron, at the sug-
gesiion of "a Confederate naval officer,
and, although The regular navy will not
cOncede that the idea originated with the
"rebels," yet there can be no doubt that
when the Mrrrimac began its terrible
work, the North had no vessel fit 10
match her, but they soon produced an
imitation of her which was far better
than the original. From that time to
the present the improvement Of ir0nclads
has been The constant aim of the Navy
Department. II has tried every sugges-
ton that seems 10 have a reasonable
prospect of success, and it is the simple
truth to affirm that every Monitor which
is launched is stronger and more COM
plete in all it's details than the one which
preceded it. With our present know
ledge, at least, it is difficult 10 point out
any part of these formidable vessels into
which an Improvement can be introduced.
The labours of the Navy Department
have doubtless been greatly facilitated
by the fact that the administration has
not been subject to constant and sudden
changes, such as take place in our Board
of Admiralty with every change of Min
istry. One set of men, understanding
their business thoroughly, and with a
perfect recollection of all that has been
done in the Department, have had the
American navy under their control for
years past. There has, therefore, been
steady and continuous work Inventions

THE Lynchburg Republican observes
that there are very few travellers by any of
the lines at this time. Railroads and Ca
nails are doing scarcely any passenger busi-
ness beyond little local travel. On Sun
day morning the Orange and Alexandria
train came in with one passenger going
west of this place, and yesterday there were
three. Judging from this, the railroads are
suffering as much from the dullness as 9th
er branches of business. However, should
the cholera become general in the Northern
cities, this summer, we may expect con.
slant stream of people fleeing from its dan
gerous proximity to the beautiful watering

EUROPEAN WAR NEWS.

The European war springs forward with
a vigor truly astonishing. Within ten days
after the news of declaration of war be-
tween the belligerents reached America,
we are startled by the details of two grand
battles. The Italians have attacked the
famous quadrilateral near Verona, and suf-
fered heavy repulse with great loss. The
Prussian and Austrian armies were engaged
in Bohemia on the 9th and 28th, with
varying successes, but on the 29th the
Prussians are reported to have suffered
disastrous defeat, with loss of one third
of their army. In addition to these events,
the army of Hanover had surrendered to
the Prussians on honorable terms. These
facts exhibit remarkable activity on all
sides, and the prospect of speedier termi-
nation of the stuggle than was anticipated
at its beginning. Prussia and Italy seem
to have been worsted thus far in the cam
paign. The surrender of the army Of
Hanover small affair-does not compen-
safe for the loss of great battle. The
union of the minor German States with the
Austrians, gives them an advantage in
numbers not easily counteracted.
Austrian state policy and strategy in the
field, both seem to have manifested a
marked superiority thus far. The hasty
declaration of war by Prussia upon proba.
bly, insufficient grounds, has been made use
of by the Vienna Cabinet to great advan.
tage 1t has given it the sympathy of all
Germany, and as consequence, brought
troops under its standard in large numbers.
Later intelligence gives to the engage
ments of the 9th and 2Sth, the character
of important successes to the Prussian
arms. Many prisoners and large amount
of property fell into the hands of the vic.
tors The disaster of the following day,
deprived them of the spoils of their pre-.
vious victory, and caused retrograde move.
ment of the whole army. At last accounts
the Prussians were evacuating Austrian
territory.
The Italian army suffered severe repulse
at Gus tozza-the name given the battle
field near Verona-but are reported to be
in good fighting morale again. Their be.
havior is spoken of in terms creditable to
their nationality. The invasion of Venitia
has been completely frustrated by the
repulse.
Since the above was put in type, later
dispatches change the situation of affairs
very materially. See heading "Latest
News"

through the Executive Committees of the
Democratic and Whig parties. Those are
all the States heard from.

DISSOLUTION OF THE CABINET.
"The Cabinet is at last dissolved" is the
gratifying announcement that reaches US
this week. STANTON, HARLAN, SPEED
and DENNIsoN have rendered their resig-
nations to the President, which were prompt
ly accepted. The immediate cause Of this
move is said to be found in the Presidents
determined policy of restoration, and his
advocacy of the Philadelphia Convention.
Several months ago, Mr.. JOHNSON an
nounced to those members of bis Cabinet
who manifested opposition to his admins.
tration, that their designations would be ac-
ceptable to him whenever rendered. Stick
ing to the interests of their party, and trust
ing to their important positions in the Gov.
ernment, to aid in obstructiug his policy,
they have stubbornly and indecently re-.
tanned their places until now. The issue
has become too wide to admit of further
cooperation between the Departments of
the Executive Office. DENN1soN, the Post
Master General, in his letter of resignation,
with probable candor suggests the reasons
for his action. He says: ....
"In Withdrawing from your Cabinet, it is
proper to say that I do so chiefly because of
the difference of opinion between us in re.
gard to the proposed amendment of the
Constitution, which I oppose, and the move.
ment for a Philadelphia Convention, to
which I am opposed. My confidence in
the patriotism of the Union Republican
party, and the conviction that upon its per-
manent control of the Government depends,
in large measure, the peace and happiness
of the country, will not permit of my hold
ing any equivocal attitude in respect to i"

sylvania, has been nominated to fill the va.
canoy in the Post Office Department. The
nomination has already been sent to the
Senate. Gen. DIX is spoken of for Secreta-
ry of War, and Senators CowAN, JOHNSON
and DooLITTLE are among the supposed
nominees for the other positions. These
men are supporters Of the President
SEWARD and MoCULLocH, it is asserted
will not resign. They are known to be in
the confidence of the President and will
sustain him in this trying emergency.
Great difficulty may be expected in &c.
curing from the Senate a confirmation of
the new appointees. The Radicals will
endeavor, doubtless, to embarrass the ope.
ration of the Government by refusing to
confirm the Presidents selections. We
shall see more anon, of the progress of this
interesting .fasco in the Chief Departments
of the Government.

The Constitutional Amendments proposed
by Congress, after one of the longest ses.
sions on record, do not seem destined to
meet the wishes of the popular heart. One
or two of the New England States has, with
unbecomiug haste, already passed upon the
question and the rump Legislature of
Tennessee-an unconstitutional body, rep
resenting exactly one-tenth of the voters of
the State-will probably, do likewise. Az
few more of the New England States may,
also, adopt the amendments but beyond
these, there seems to be no prospect of
successful reception in any Legislature.-
Popular opinion has had time to express it.
self, since their adoption in Congress, and
the verdict of the country will, unmistak-
ably, oppose their passage.
We look upon this as hopeful sign of
returning moderation. The agencies now
at work to produce such result, are pow
erful enough in all conscience to effect this,
and even more. Congress, in its mad ca.
reer of prescription, has overreached itself,
and gone far in advance of the popular will.
The country seems to be slowly, but surely,
recovering from the thraldom the Republi-
can party has SO skilfully and successfully
wrapped about it. The indignation the
tariff bill has elected the sympathy with
Mr.. DAVIS, called forth by the publication,
of the record of his sufferings and impris-
onment, and the favor with which large
portion of the Northern people have receiv-
ed the call for National Convention, are
indicative of better future.

PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION

PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION.
There appears to be much enthusiasm
prevailing both North and South, in favor
of the proposition for the National Conveu-
tion at Philadelphia. 1t has inspirited the
friends of Constitutional liberty, and exeites
confusion and alarm in the radical camp.
We profoundly trust that its efforts may
avail in arresting the evils that now depress
US. We have no strong data upon which
to base such a trust. The good sense of
the American people-a very doubtful els.
ment-is calculated upon, to effect the
desired result
However that may be, the Convention
will be held, and the family of States
should sena their best men to represent
them there. With the help of God it may
succeed in the design of its projectors, and
spare the country from the impending ruin
now apparently awaiting it. 1t can do US
no harm to send our representation there,
even if it fails to eventuate in success.
The interests at stake are worth the effort.
Among the States that have already ap-
pointed delegates to the Convention, We
notice the following: Delaware, New Jer.
sey, Rhode Island, New York, Tennessee,
Louisiana and North Carolina. Pennsyl.
vania will elect delegates through State
Convention; Virginia will select delegates

THE Liberal party in Mexico, stim.
ulated by the favor the United States has
exhibited to their cause, has recently gained
important military advantages over the I'm.
perial troops. The town of Matamoras,
famous in the history of TAYLoR's cam
paign, has surrendered to the Liberals; and
other successes Of some magnitude evince
their increased strength. Unfortunately,
the Liberal chiefs are quarreling among
themselves about supremacy, and all their
success will probably be lost. A constitu-
tional defect of character never allows q
Mexican to enjoy success quietly. It spoils
him as soon as:saocomplished. Mexico has
given sufficient evidence of incapacity for
self.government, to remove all hopes OF the
Liberal party being able to restore her to
the dignity Of nation.
The war between Paraguay on one
side, and Uruguay and Brazil on the other,
still continues. Two great battles have
recently been fought-the first, resulting in
a victory for the Paruguayaus, and the
second in a complete disaster. Soldering
