TOrpedOes ID The Civil War.

The two Russian engineers who fast
ened torpedo under the bow Of Turk
ish monitor in the Danube and on their
return to the nortsern bank discharged it
by means Of an 81 uric bSttery and de-
stroyed the vessel have taken hint trom
Lieutenant William b. Cushing's exploit
in the Roanoke. He slipped up the river
in steam launch under fierce fire from
the Confederate ram Albemarle, which
was lying in her dock behind a barricade
of logs. He lowered torpedo boat,
rowed it up to the Albemarle and fred it.
The ram went down like. stone. At the
same instant one of the enemy's shots
crashed through the torpedo boat and
utterly destroyed it, and the launch was
also disabled; but Gushing, calling upon
his men to save themselves as best they
could, dropped into the water, swan down
stream half mile, crawled out at day
break to hide himself in swamp, and
finally found skif and escaped to the
Federal feet. The Russian engineers
rowed ashore and called electricity to
their aid; Cushing had no such luck.
Torpedoes we're not used to any extent
during the American war. The iron Te-
cumseh was shattered to fragments in
Mobile bsrbor by one of these deadly i'm
plements. At the siege of Charleston a
monitor stood in so close to Fort Sumter
that for twenty minutes she lay imme-
diately above large Confederate torpedo,
connected by wires with magnetic bat
terry on shore. The electric fluid was shot
along the wires until they were red-hot,
but the torpedo failed to explode, and it
was subsequently found that cart had
passed over the wires while they were ex-
posed upon the sand ringing the sea-
coast, and that their power to convey
electricity was thereby neutralized. -NeaO

A Rule that VIII Work Two wnxs.

The order of the Secretary of War with
regard to the treatment of the raiders of
the Mexican border, suggests that little
of the same severity might well be APP
piled to the marauders in the interior of
some of the Southern States. There the
White Liners trespass upon the premises
oil the colored people as if they were
slaves still, and shoot aud knock down to
their hearts content. Now, using as
nearly as possible the language OF this
order from the war Office, suppose the
Secretary should say:
General Ord will OF once notify the Mis-
sissippi authorities along the Kemper
county border of the great desire of the
President to unite with them in efforts to
suppress this long continued lawlessness.
At the same time he will inform these au-
thorities that if the government of Mis-
sissippi shall continue to neglect the duty
of suppressing these outrages, that duty
will devolve upon this government, and
be performed, even if its performance
should render necessary the occasional
crossing Of the border by our troops. You
will therefore direct General Ord that in
case the lawless incursions continue he
will be at liberty to use his own discretion
when pursuing band of marauders, and
when his troops are either in sight Of or
upon a fresh trail, to follow them across
the Mississippi border, and to overtake
and punish them, as we'll as retake polit-
ical prisoners found in their hands on the
Mississippi side of the lines.

FIRE IN ST. CHARLES.
From the Herald, June 2:

About ten o'clock on Wednesday night
the residence of the Rev. Father Suiriry,
adjoining Red Church, was discovered to
be on fire, and though herculean efforts
were made to save it, burned to the
ground. Father Suiriry lost all of his
own private papers and the valuable
records and papers of the church, which
were consumed by the flames. 1t is sup
posed to be the work of an incendiary.
1t is impossible to conceive of motive
for the sacreligious crime.

A Horrible Punishment.

The Persian Government intlicts ter
ribls punishment upon robbers who are
captured by the authorities. Bsrbarous
expedients are resorted to in order to
frighten them from their lIlegitlmate call.
ing. Of fifty who were recently capttr-
ed, twenty-ihsee had their throats cut ;
Others were crucified, being nailsd to the
wall of the town by their hands and feot,
and then left TO perish slowly of exhaus.
ton and starvation; others again were
buried alive in pits of, brickwo1k, in
which they were placed erect, with their
heads just above ground, Pinioned and
naked, the robbers were placed IN these
short, open columns of brickwork; and
a white plaster, not unlike plaste4 OF
paris, was then poured, neck teep, over
Their bodies, around which it set into the
lhatdness of stone. : In their dying hours
the miserable men were barbarously i'll
treated, on their exposed and defence,ess
heads. by tile rabble and soldiery of Shi.
lraz. Despite the adoption of these fright
full measures for the punishment OF high
way robbery, the crime is of constant
occurrence, especially in Southern Persia,
and. except in the most bitter WEATHER in
the winter, the persons and ELECTS OF
travellers are in constant peril.
