MILITARY ETIQUETTE.
Captain John A. Rynn-The saIut

Captain John A. Rynn-The Salute.
We this morning received the following communi-
catioD, to which, as In all similar cases. we cheer
fully give place-
PHILADELPHIA, July 2s, 1870. -Editor EVENING
TELEGRAPH In your edition yesterday, in speaking
Of the review TO his Honor the Mayor you observed
that did not salute that gentleman. You attribute
my conduct to want of respect to our chief magis-
trate, which insinuatlon regard as unjust and cal
culated to do me great injury.
Regulations require no salute to be rendered to a
person reviewing troops inferior in rank to the officer
in command Of the troops being reviewed; but,
should 1t be necessary to make the ceremony COM
plete in this respect, the commanding Otficer, or
some oficer of equal rank, shall place himself beside
the individual in whose honor the troops are
paraded, go that the salute shall be given him. I
am not aware that his Honor has any recognized
military rank attached to his position as Mayor Of
the CITY, nor did see any military oflcer by his side
entitled to receive such compliment from officers
passing in columns hence, feel justified in passing
without saluting, and cannot think the omission an
insult, either implied or intended.
BY giving the above placein your columns you
will very much obige,
Yours, respectfully, JOHN w. RYAN,
Capt Co. A, 4th Regt., N. q. P.
When we wrote the article which appeared in our
columns yesterday we were perfectly aware that
there was no clause in Upt0n's tactics requiring
Captain Ryan or any other officer to salute civi-
liam. But military etiquette does provide Tor such
cases. 1t has ever been the custom amongst the
military and especially amongst State militia. when
reviewed by a civilian, no matter of what rank or
title, to pay him the compliment Of salute, and
in the 1st Division better aware of this fact
than Captain Ryan. On several occasions lately
he has seen it carried out, and more
latterly in the of the review of the New York
7th Regiment, at which Colonel Clark did not fail to
salute his Honor Mayor Fex. And he had still suf-
fcient example IN the conduct of Major General
marian and a stickler for all military rules did
not forget the courtesy due towards one
who BY his presence T1tS 81 in his onlcal Eaa
excuse Of Captain Ryan Is rather tame, and did we
wish to give the full facts Of the case could we
think, show that feeling and not military law was
his DrinCipal motive.

Collision mt sea-Loss of Seven Lives.

The Boston papers of the 21st say
ga letter received here to-day reports that the
ship Bengal, of Boston, Captain Burgess from
Cardiff for Singapore, put into Rio Janeiro June
IL, in consequence of having been run into by
the British bark Royal Berkshire, Captain
Grant, from Mauritius for Cork. Captain Bur-
CESS writes that on the night of the 28th of
May, when twenty miles north of the equator, in
longitude "A 40, going eight knots under all SAIL
with good lookout and sidelights burning
heard the second mate shout hard up
jumped on deck and saw light two points off
on the weather bow, close to, and we instantly
came in contact, striking the bark forward of
the fore rigging, and sinking her almost imme-
dlately.
During the collision six men got on board
the Bengal. We lowered boat to search for
any other survivors, but did not find any till
after daylight, when we found two men floating
on a spar. One of them said, when taken on
board, that the collision was the fault of the
bark as there was no one at the wheel, and that
they were all employed in catching water from
a shower then falling.
''The saved were the first and second mates
the carpenter and four seamen. The lost were
Captain Grant, his sister, three boys and two
men.
'The Bengal was badly damaged in the stem.
She would partially discharge cargo, repair,
and proceed on her voyage about the LIST of
July. The Bengal is owned in this city, by
Messrs. Curtis 81 Peabody"

PHOTOGRAPHY UNDER DIFFICULT
TIES.
Confidence Men Refuse TO Sit for Their Pic


lures.
Special Officer Sherman, of the Twenty-siXth
precinct, noticed two suspicious-looking charac-
ters on the pier of the Pacific Steamship Com
pany at the foot of Canal street. After watch
ing them for some time he accosted them, and
as they could not give any satisfactory account
of themselves, the officer arrested them and
took them to the City Hall, and from there to
Police Headquarters (by order of Captain
Thorne), where they were at once
recognized by superintendent Jourdan and
Captain Kelso as notorious confidence opera
tors. The names are George English, alias
Carroll and John Resigne, alias Pickle Johnny.
On their way to headquarters English said that
"he'd be = if he would allow his photograph
to be taken for any purpose" In the presence
they had not enough detectives on the force to
compel him to sit for his picture" The Super
intendent told Kelso to take them to No. 22S
Bowery and get their picture, and to take as
many detectives as necessary to hold them.
Captain Kelso sent Detectives Woolrich Clapp,
Tieman, Tully, Irving, Dusenbum and Eus-
tace with them. On arriving at the above
named gallery, they found that the
proprietor had gone out: they took
up the line of march back to Captain
Kelso's. They then took them to Riker's Gal
lery No. 234 Bowery. They were brought up
stairs and into the receptiOn-room, when Eng
lish said-"You Dutchman, if you attempt to
take my picture 1t will be at your peril" The
detectives then took them up stairs to the gall
lery. English very coolly walked up to the
camera and kicked it over, breaking it in pieces
Tieman jumped at English and caught him by
the throat, and would have strangled him had
not some OF the other officers separated them;
as Ricer did not want TO risk another instrument
they were taken baea to headquarters. Captain
Kelso then took them to the Tombs, where he
intends having them lithograpbed.-N. y. COM
