The Round Table" on Northern and
Southern Generals.

The Round Table contains liberal and well
executed critique upon COOKIES "Life Of
SToSEwALL JACKSON" Of this great Southern
champion il speaks in terms of admiration,
saying" He was the HAvELOCK of the war;
"a brave, good man, who loved the excitement
90 but not the carnage of conflict" Again
Sc He was the hero of the first two years of the
war. and as such his fame will not readily
"pass away"
The Round Table selects from the rolls of
thinks will find an abiding place in history.
Itsays-"On the Northern side, We shall be very
much surprised if the developments of time
do not place upon the roll as one of the most
" distinguished as we'll as one of the most un-
4" successful of all the commanders the name
" of General MCCLELLAN. First in honor, be-
" cause greatest in what he accomplished,
90 careful history will record the name of Gen
90 eral SHERMAN, close beside that of General
GRANT. General SHERIDAN and Admiral
d" FARRAGUT will alike inspire the admiration
C. and gratitude of the people for their brilliant
8. achievements. On the Southern side We
SO shall have first and greatest the name of Cen
G, eral LEE. Next to him will shine the glo-
&C rious daring aud wonderful exploits of Gene
"ral THOMAS JACKSON, who will always be
known by the soubrquet given to him at Ma
nassas The third name upon the Southern
list will be that of General JOSEPH JOHNSTON,
and beyond this we do not conceive that his
tory will have many names to perpetuate.
G. And if we shall prove mistaken with regard
90 to some of these here mentioned, we feel
.sure that the name of SHERMAN ON the one
"side and JACKSON on the other will be among
the last to be forgotten"
We could add several names on the South
ern side to the list Of those for which The
Round Table anticipates permanent place in
history; but our object at present is to quote
from that journal rather than offer speculations
and opinions of our own.

Remarkable History of a Torpedo Boat.

bl>loTF VI
General Maurys report of the defence of Mobile
narrates the eveRtIul history of a torpedo boat as
follows
at was built of boiler iron, was about thirty fvc
feet long and was manned by Il crew of nine men,
eight of whom worked the propeller by hand. The
ninth steered the boat andregulated her movements
below the surface of the water She could he sub
merged at pleasure to any desired depth could be
propelled upon the surface In smooth, still water
her movements were exactly controlled, and her
speed was about four knots. II was intended that
she should approach any vessel lying ut anchor pass
under her keel, and drag floating torpedo, whic h
would explode on striking the side or bottom of the
ship attacked.
''She could remain submerged more than half an
hour without Inconvenience to heT crew.
Soon after her arrival in Charleston, Lieutenant
Payne of the Confederate navy, with eight Others,
volunteered to attack the Federal fleet with her,
While preparing for her expedition, the swell of a
passing steamer caused her 10 sink suddenly, and all
hands, except Lieutenant Payne, whO at the mo-
ment was standing in the open hatchway, persisted.
She was soon raised and again made ready for SER
vice. Lieutenant Payne again volunteered to COM
mand her. While lying near Fort Sumter she cap
sized and again sunk in deep water, drowning all
hands except her commander and two Others
Being again raised and prepared Or,actiOn Mr..
Aunley one of the constructors, made an expert
mental cruise in her in Cooper river. While sub
merged at great depth, from some unknown cause,
she became unmanageable, and remained for many
DAYS on the bottom of the river, with her crew of
nine dead men.
:. fourth time was the boat raised, and Leuten.
ant Dixon, of Mobile, of the 2lst volunteers with
eight Others went out of Charleston harbOr in her
and attacked and sunk the Federal steamer Housa-

peared forever with her crew. Nothing is known of
their fate, but it is believed they went down with
the enemy"

The SOUTHERN RAILROAD To THE PACRIC.-
The Louisville Journal contains an interesting
letter from a distinguished Georgian in rela-
ton to the condition and prospects of the
Southern Pacific Railroad. He speaks ap
proyingly of President Waskom's report, and
of the harmony and good feeling which pre-
vailed among the stockholders at the recent
Louisville meeting. Considering the immense
endowment of the road by the State of Texas,
the rapidly increasing population of that State,
the abundance of labor and provisions, and
other advantages, the enterprise is regarded as
more promising than that of any other unbuilt
road on the continent. This road runs west, in
the very centre Of the cotton belt it is free
from the SHOWS and engineering difficulties
which present themselves on all the more
northern routes, and already a California line
has been started 70 meet half way. In view of
these facts, st. Louis has been advised TO
abandon her struggles for a central route at
present, and running down through Kansas and
the Indian Territory, form connection with
the Galveston and Houston road. Afterwards,
when trade demands it, and population be-
comes denser, the other routes may all be re-
quired, though the deep mountain SHOWS will
always present difficulties on every route north
of Fl Paso. There an open gateway through

The Evil of the Civil Rights Law-Ncgro Suf-
rrage TO he Thrust OH the SOuth-The PreSi-
dents AstutenesS--The Treasury--The Banks and
Currency.
WASHINGTON, April TO- 1S66.-It is a very general
opinion that the evil of the civil rights law will
chiefly he in the encouragement which it will give
to the radicals to persevere in their efforts to impose
by force upon the lately insurrectOnary States
system of negro suffrage, whether limited or uni
yersal and may say confidently that is the inter
pretation of the measure far the radical repub
iicanS are concerned. Besides it tends to bring all
the repubcans-that is, all Union men, TO the rad
ical ground The President saw this. lie is the
shrewdest of all living politicians. His fears are
justified The people of the North accept the civil
rights bill with almost universal acclaim. They
believe in it, because they do not understand it
How few can pretend to unrlyel all its mysteries
and solve all its doubts! Who is to say what the
trainers of the bill meant by certain provision
which has been declared by learned men of law TO
have been left ineXpcable2
But let MS pass to more agreeable subject. The
Secretary of the Trcasuary the great conservative
financial authority of the country, has been sustain
ed by the Senate in his policy of contraction and
resumption with the almost unanimous vote of the
Senate. The passage OF this bill mt this time will, |
may venture to say, do more of good for this
try than the radical faction can by their measures
do it harm. Propositions for the increase of the ma
tional bank currency have been met by provisions
for the more equal distribution of the amount of
such currency now authorized 1t is to lie hoped
