THE ARMY BILL And THE RE
ORGANIZATION OF
syxTEa WV
THE NAVY.

Extract from Washington letter to
the GAzETTE, dated February 9th, 1870:
On yestarday the much talked of Ban
ming army bill was introduced as an
amendment to the army appropriation
bill, and after considerable debate it
was ruled in order. The discussion that
followed was one of the most exciting
of the season. The new bill removed
337 officers mostly from the staff. The
officers of the army are in the proper
ton Of one to every ten priVates, and it
costs half million more every year to
pay the officers than it does to pay the
soldiers of the army. a final vote it is
thought will be reached to day, and be-
fore this reaches you, the fate of the
much debated bill will be known.
Mr.. Sargent presented, in the Senate
yesterday, letter from the Secretary
Of the Navy, in which he states his obli-
CATION to Mr.. Blaine's bill for the re-or-
Ranization of the Navy. He points out
the small number of cadet midshipmen
that will graduate under the present six
years course with the Limitation put
upon the appointments at large under
the recent construction of the law, and
expresses his belief that the casualties
in the higher grades will continue to
make vacancies in the ranks of ensign
equal to the number of cadet midship-
men graduating. Neither does he deem
the number OF officers in the Navy dis
prepOrtioned to the number of men that
should be Employed in the Navy. He
points out the necessity for more men
when the addition to the naval vessels
now ready tobe made are completed,
and urges provision for such increase in
the force of seamen. He says the mod.
ern style of war ships requires an addi-
tional number of men for the guns, and
unless an increase of force lis authorized
the Department will be unable to man
age properly all the vessels intended for
the several squadrons. 9. a. ,.

A TRUE NEWSPAPER.

The Nashville AMERICAN has thoroughly estab-
Ished itself as the truest and best of Newspaper
publications IN the Southern section of the Union
It's news is always the freshest and most enter
tanning that is to be obtained, and its editorial COL
umns are just to opponents, and severe to false
friends. 1t never dictates, but warns. While it
is fair in discussion is positive in its views and
by friend and foe is esteemed true to its cOnvc-
tions. By its answering attachment to the rights
and interests of the People, it has become power
in Tennessee which no other journal attained;
and its influence is only surpassed by its populari
ty, not only in Tennessee, but in all the adjoining
States.
The readers of the GAZETTE will also find that
the miscellaneous columns of the AMERICAN en-
brace all that is interesting and useful in the va
rious fields Of human enterprise; and it can be
safely commended, as a most excellent and valua-
BILE paper in the Household, the Workshop, the
Store-house, and to all people in every vocation.
The Weekly edition is of mammoth proportions,

Rules and Reasons.


The Boston Transcript gives the
following nine commandments to
those who write now and then TO the
press:
1. Write upon one sid, of the
leaf only. Why? Because it is
often necessary to cut the pages into
takes for the compositors, and this
cannot be done when both sides are
written upon.
2. Write clearly and distinctly.
being particularly careful in the
matter of proper names and words
from foreign languages. Why /?
Because you have no right to ask
either editor or compositor to waste
his time pnzzling out the results of
your selfish carelessness.
8. Don't write in microscopic
hand. Why? Because the compos-
itor has to read it across his case at
distance of nearly two feet. Also,
because the editor often wants to
make additions and other changes.
4. Don't begin at the very top of
the first page. Why? Because if
you have written a head for your ar
ticle the editor will probably want to
change it. and ifyou have not-which
is the better wayne must write
one. Besides, he wants room in
which to write his instructions to
the printer as to the type to be used,
where and when the proof Is to be
sent, etc.
5. Never roll your manuscript.
Why? Because it maddens and ex-
asperates every one who touches it
editor, compositor and proof
reader.
6. Be brief. Why? Because PEG
pie don't read long stories. The
number Of readers which any two
articles have is inversely proportion
ed to the square of their respective
lengths. That is, half column ar.
tic,e is read by four times as many
people as one of double that length.
z. Have the fear of the waste.
basket constantly and steadily be-
fore your eyes. Why? Because it
will save you a vast amount of use
less labor, to say nothing of paper
and postage.
8. Always write your full name
and address plainly at the end Of
your letter. Why? Because it will
often happen that the editor will
want to communicate with you, and
because he needs to know the writ
er's name as a guarantee Of good
faith. If you use pseudonym or
initials, write your name and address
below it. 1t will never be divulged.
9. These precepts in the men,
DRY keep" and, for fear you might
forget them, cut them out and put
them where you can readily run
through them when tempted to spill
innocent ink.

Gen. Robert L. Lees Arlington
Estate.
Special to the Cincinnati Gazetts.l

special 70 the Cincinnati Gazette
Washington. January 31.-It is
the general opinion among lawyers
familiar with the subject that the Ar
liDgton ejectment suit. which the
United States District Court has jnst
decided in favor Of Gen. Lee, will
be decided by the United States
Supreme Court. to which it has been
appealed in his favor. The judg-
ment Of the lower court restores the
entire estate to him, and calls FOR
the ejeclment of all tenants who
have been in possession since the
sale of the estate under tax sale in
1868. This includes the United
States as a tenant of the National
Cemetery, the $4,000 Union soldiers
dead that lie therein, and the Gov
eminent Signal Office anG station
at Fort Whipple. This decision I'M
doubtedly will give encouragement
to the managers Of the bill now
pending, which proposes that Con-
gress shall purchase the property.
1t is just to Gen. Lee to say that he
has no desire to disturb the patriot
dead or regain possession Of that
part of Arlington Cemetery proper,
which is but trifing portion of the
whole estate. Gen. Lee has only
wished TO establish his entire pro-
perry rights, and is quite willing TO
surrender that portion Of the estate
or the whole of it to the Government
at fair valuation. This decision
shows that the courts have been un.
willing to sustain one Of the arbitra.
ry acts of the great war minister,
Secretary Stanton. 1t is certain he
declined to receive a tender OF taxes
made prior to The sale by Northern
relatives Of Gen. Lee, on the ground
that Gen. Robert f. Lee was a rebel.
and no relative should be permitted
TO redeem his property. Secretary
Stanton, the Court says, had no au-
thority to do this, and it is practical
ly upon that act alone that the whole
case turned. The jadge who render.
ed this decision can not be charged
with being a Southern sympathizer.
