Editors : Your explanatory arngraph respecting the Navy, 1 kc tba apology of ihe Il.i roi Edao', ia, miaientt nAlly it is ncped, more nijutthaa thn one which preceded it. You are correct ia ascribing ths deficiency i the mate rial of the N iv.v to "th- rel wnat of mani at the dorsal of thi head of tha depRr-iaent," ontratst unfair ia imputing j w0nt of zeal ra ctllcerj. Ii is easy to criticise and nn-eeencrate human nature prone to condemn, prtftrs reckless denuLCiatioa to a care ful investigation oi 4 'Cts, but ia it no, unreasonable to ex pect our hastily and unf-killiuSiy constructed veaae's io com pere with thosa of the eutrriy, which are thoroughly equio ed, far more heavil? armed, and overwhelming in nnmoe;? When an unfortunate r;o?im oi caccethes scribe-ndi, no torious for intermeddling ruh tfee. concorn of others, throws a handful cf dirt upon the escutcheon of th Navy, tho friends of tha latter are not disturbed, well knowue that impurity cannot long adhere to a fair and polished sur face ; out, n la d iiierent wnen one of a corps pre tossing to be an exponent of, but, in realty often loading: public opin ion, i6Baila an arm cf the pubiis service, v?hich yields to none in oevouon io tne cause. Your remark that the Navy hae proved a failure . when submitted to the alembic ot reason, can only mean that it has failed to achieve an impossibility. And as to the otner remark: that an that ha been done by the Navy was the result cf "dash," an impartial observer would decide, that with such defective means, all aggressive movements depends on dash to be efficient. A brief reference to past naval encounters will illustrate this far better than argument. In tho engagement of Roan oke Island, our force consisteicf twe armed river-boats and five Bmall gunboats, altogether mounting nine cans and carrying one hundred and forty men, while the hotilla oi the enemy consisted of twenty-three gun beats, mostly ci large size, mounting from four to eight guns each, with a crew ranging irom eighty to one hundred an twenty men. In the battle near Elizabeth City, throe days alterwards, we had our nvo remaining boats, and two guns in battery, agaiost seventeen cf the largest of the enemy's flotilla. The result cf those two engagements, the first lasting almost an entire day, was that one of cur vessels was Buf.k, one disabled, two destroyed by ourselves, ad one, mounting one gun, with a crow of eighteen men faii into the hands of the enemy. The Virginia destroyed two of the enemy's frigates and would undoubtedly have overcome the Monitor, had she been enabled to fire bolts, or even round shot into her an tagonist. Unfortaaarely she was provided only with shells which shattered against the thick aides of the iron clad. On the upper Mississippi cur small flotilla of nine boats held the enemy at bay until he brought iron-clads to rein force his t q iaaron, aire&ay numbering three to one. Respecting the capture of New Orleans, it is worthy of note that ah the fightir-g which preceded it was by the Navy, or utider direction, as it were, of naval ekill. Gen. Dace an commanded the covering force of Fort Jackson, but the batteries of that Fort were under direction of and fought by Col. Higgins, who, prior to tha war, was a Lieu tenant in the Navy, and in proof that he was recognized as thi Commander cf that Fort, Admiral Porter addressed his communicatiosH to him, and cor.joiatly with Gen. Dun can he signed the articles of capitulation after the men had mutinied, and all hope of resistance waa at an end. Our naval force consisted of one iron-clad, which being im moveable by her machinery, was cecesaariiv foucht at an chor : a small iron tug, which sunk one cf the enamv's vessels, and was destroyed in a broadside encounttr with one of the heaviest of his fleet, and one armed river boat. The commandor of the last, and thi tec.ocd in command of the fiist lost their lives, and the rther casualties of this en gagement will fchow, despite tha odds, how hotly it was contested. .There , were in addition five vessels fitted out by the War Department, with tha express ir junc tion of Mr. Benjamin, in his letter to General Lovell, that officers of tho Navy were specially excluded .rora their management. It so happened that Mr. Ksnnon, formerly an cfiicr of the Navy obtained tbe command of one of them, the only one cf them which CDgged t-p er emy. He fvutih: well, vaa overpowered aud taken prisoner, aod fcr his gallantry on that occasion ha since received an ap pointment in the Confederate Navy.

For the Journal. Mobilk, Ala., Ang 6, 1864. Mxssaa. Editobs : Early on yesterday morning, as tbe sun rose to dazzle the cloodless iky, tha enemy's fleet were observed to be in fall tide of preparation for a demoEBtia tlon against Fort Morgan, tbe principal work of the outer defences of this city. The rapid exohange of telegraph?, and tbe cob st ait plying of boats to and from Admirtl Fara gut's Flag Ship Hartford, gave assurance that the hour for action was at hand. At six A. M. their line cf battle com menced to move two deep ; first were two turretted moni tors, followed by two iron-plated double-enders, then tbe Hartford, with a small Bteamer on her cfif side, ber near side being well protected with chains, run from stem to stern and below her water lines; the small vessel was evi dently intended to render her assistance if required. When near abreast cf tbe Fort, the monitors, double-enders and Hartford opened fire, which led along their entire line The Fort replied with vigor and good precision, as one of the monitor, commanded by A. M. Craven, sunk almost instantly. Three men swam to the Fort. Cravm jumped into his boat and poshed cfl; only one man succeeded in getting with him, the balance of one hundred and eighteen men went down, the water closing ever them like an angry wate breaking on the beach. Immediately iDcide the Fort lav Admiral F. Buchanan, of Hampton Hoadi celebrity, in his iron clad 'am Tennes see, of six gu&s ; the Morgan, Gaines and Selma, side wheel wooden vessels of Bix ucs each, which wer in line of battle, acd at once opened fire npoa the advancing ene my : acd here the 8:ght was magnificently grand to see ; broadside frfter broadside poured into the enemy, who now mmbered fourteen sail ins-ide t)?e Fort. But it was noon manifest that our iittls eqiidron ot f ur Vriieels cou'd. not long contend against bo powerful a fleet, 'ihe con est had now lasted about two hou-8, bo h parlies IssHencd thei' fire as if by consent. Buchanan run up his sipn&l?, " follow tha motions of the cemmanding officer ;" ,k iirk, bat don't surrender," oa which the engagement re-oa-mecced with greater fury thau before. The Fort was then out of range to do mach injury. The Gaines had a shell in her magazine, and anoth er ia ber bread room, which cauted her to leak badiy. She was fast settling by the stern, and soon went down ia three fathoma water, with seventeen shot in her holl. She was commanded by Lieut. Jchn W. Betiiat, of Mary land. Tha Morgan was attacked by a frigate, from which she retired while t'gh'.ir-g into shoal water. Her encrmous adversary could not follow, r nd she escaped with very little damage. In thia latter engagement the monitors and tb two double end-jia iurronnded Jhi " Tennessee ;" k9r steericg giar was s'rnck, whici left her unmanageable ; her smke-stack was so perforated with shot that it felt overboard close by the deck, 'and this prevented the possibility of makiag a eam, end filled her gun deck with smoke. Then, and not till then, did this brave old veteran surrender; neither d'd he q lit her deck uutil shot down. A despatch from his Sni-ge-on, D. B. Conrad, describes his wound as a fracture of the tiigB, whic'i may require amputation. In thia engagement tbe Old Njrth 8tate furnished one Comn ander, P. M. Mnrphv, of ihe " Selma," who fought hip ship against the Hatt'ord (sixteen guns,) with much biil, until ail hope of victory vanished, and then a ir Qiti d nt 83 drove him cn, he ran up, fi'6d a broadside into her and snrrei dered. Thus er d'd aa engagement which will be long remem bered, and ca;.not fan to find a high place oa the calendar of history's page.

Editors Wilmington Journal : While the entire Confederacy I justly mouiTang ever the uniooked for loss of Forts Gaines and Powell, it is painful to e? that th3 lament can find no other utterance in pri vate and public than by heaping shame aud obloqay on tbe officers and men entrusted with the defence of theao strong holds. All tbe journals of the day, in editorials and no tices of correspondents, the bravos and tbe geriV.rala of the street corners and shop-counters, and the old ladies over their tea, combine in one howl of " treachery, cow ardice and shameful conduct," which they take for granted principally becauee nothing better presents itaelt to tbe-ir minds to solve the mystery, and which means in fact notti- irg more than that principally ihe event is unexplained.

Toe detail.? which are given in this report will effectually snip the enemy of the laurels of victory, albeit success crowned their ef forts. Bat for the as yet unexplained surrender of Fort Gaines, we could roint to the defence of Mobile, with sentiments of uDmjogled prida. The -following is tbe official report : Mobilk, Aug. 9tb, 1864. Hon. S. R. Mallokt, Secretary of the Navy : Sir Tbe enemy steamed in through the main en trance with four monitors and about eixteen heavy ves sels of war. The Tecumsch, ommacded by T. A. M. Craven, was sunk wi b nearly all her crew, and also an other gunboat, the FLiilippi, which I subsequently burned. The Richmond, Hartford and Brcoklyn, in line of battle, followed by the remainder of the fleet, pushed by Fort Morgan under full headway, where they were encountered by tbe Tencesaee, Morgan, Gaines and Selma. 1 be Tennessee and the other vessels s'eam ed in close range of the advancing force and poured a heavy fire into the leading ships. After a desperate en gagement between the fleets, theJGaines retired io Fort Morgan in a s'tLktDg condition theSelms.cutcff.sar rendered and the Morgan escaped to Fort Morgan. The Tennes3ee, so far nnirjured, steamed towards the whele fk'et, and alter au obstinate fight, surrendered her rudder disabled her Emcke stack carried away ; and, as we suppose, her ere in an exhausted and smothering condition. Oa tbe Tennessee, Admiral Buchanan was severely wounded by a t plinter in the leg, and two were killed and several wounded among her crew. On the Gaines there were two killed and two wounded. Oa tne Morgan, one was wounded, and on the Selma there were eight killed, including her ex ecutive officer, Lt. J. H. Comstock, and sivtn were wounded. The eneosy suffered severely, and he request ed permission to bury his dead. Respectfully, W. W. Harbison, Oomd'g C. S. N. Comparison of Federal and Confederate Naval For ces Engaged. FEDERAL F0RC2.

Wolfgang Mozart, the great German composer, died at Vienna in the year 1791. There is something baiutiful and touching in the cir cumstances of bis death. His sweetest song was the last be sang. Tho Requiem- He had been employed upon this exquisite piece for several weeks, his soul filled with inspirations of richest melody, acd already claiming kindred with .immortality. After giving it its last.touch, and breathing into it that undying spirit of song which was to consecrate it through all time, as his " cygnean strain," he fell into a gentle and quiet slumber. At Isngth ihe light footsteps of his daughter Emilie awoke him. " Come hither," said he, " my Em ilie my task ia doner the Kequidm my Requiem is finished." " Say not so, dear father," said the gentle girl, inter rupting him, as tears stood in her eyes. "You must be better you look better, for even now your cheek has a glow upon it I am sure we will nurse you well again let me bring yon something refreshing." "Do not de ceive yourself, my love," said the dying lather, " this wasted form can never be restored by human aid. From heaven's mercy alone do I look for aid, in this my dy ing hour. You spoke of refreshment, my Emilie take these my last notes sit down to my piano here sing with them the hymn of your sainted mother let me once more hear those tones which have been so long my solace and delight." Emilie obeyed, and with a voice enriched with tenderest emotion sung the follow icg -stanzas: Spirit ! thy labor is o'er i Thy term cf probation is run, Tby steps are now bound for tho untrodden shore, And the race of immortals began. Fpirit ! look not cn the strife, Or the pleasures of earth with regret Pause sot on the threshold of limitless lifa, To mourn for the day that is set. Spirit I no fetters can bind, No wicked have power to molest ; There the weary like thee the wretched Bhr.ll fiad A haven, a mansion of rest. Epirit ! how bright is the road Fcr which thou art now cn the wing. Tby homo it will be. with thy Saviour and God, lhtir loud hallelujih to sirg. Aa she concluded, she dwelt for a moment upon the low melancholy notes oi the piece, and then turning from tbe instrument; looked in si!encc for the approving smile of ter father. IL was ihe Btiil passionless smile which the rapturous and iovous epirit left with tbe 6eil of death upon those features. Bad Effects of Puffing.

I have seen tie sabj-'ct frequently no f.ctd, out I have -never seen the following bcu-ate ver sion oJ the occurrence which led to tbe generally re iv ed and erroieons story of tbe Kilkenny Cats. PuriDg the rt.bft'ion which occurred io Ireland ia 1798 ( ir may b in 1803) Kilkenny wts garrisoned by a regiment ut UtSiiau holiiit tp, whose custom it was to tie together in one of their barrnck rooms two ca;s by their nBpec live thils, and then to thro-v tbeai f ice to face across a hue genialiy used lor drying clothes. The cats nat urally bec'ne iniorited, and scraiched eaci other in the abdomen uutil deth ensutd to one or bo'h of them, and termioatt d their euS-rings Vue office s of tha c rpa tii ultimate y made aiquaintid wicb ihene fcartiaroUi acts of ciueuy, d tht y r solved to put an end i them and punish the tffjnders In order to tffr-ct this purpose au ifik-er was oidered to inspect b;s ach bar rhek room dily, and to report to the coram? ndiot: o ffi cerin wrsat state he found the room. The cruelsoldurs, determined not to lose the dily torture of the wretch ed cats, generally employed one of their comrud.d to watch the approach oi tne officer, in order tfc-t tbe cats might be . liberated and take refuge in flight be fore the visit of tbe officer to the scene of their tor ture. Oa one occasion tne look out man'' neglect ed his duty, and the officer of tbe day was heard ae cending the stair while the cats were undergoing their customary torture. One cf the troopers immediately siezed a s-ord from the arm rack and with a single blow divided tha tails of the two cats, The cats of course, escaped through the open windows of the room, and immediately afterwards the officer entered, who inquir ed what was tte cause of the two bleeding cats' tails being Bcspended on the clothes line, and was told in re ply that 'two cats bad been fighting in the room, that it was found impossible to separate them, and lhat they fought so desperately that they had devoured ech oth er up with the exception of their two tails," which may have satisfied Captain Schummelkettel but would not have deluded any psrsoa but a beery Prussian.

Whatever may be thought of the prudence of Captain Semmes' duel with the learsarge, there is but one opinion of the gallantry displayed by him and all his crow.

York, the design of which looks as if it St be topavo the way for a formidable resistance to the draft in September. The war is fiercely tenounced aa one waged by capitalists against laborer?, and the Ad mmistra ion is arraigned in a style which has never been ventured upon as yet outside or Richmond. Mr Lincoln, we are told, refuses to make peace until white men and negroes are reduced to the same level. More over, the workingmen of New York are informed that (I quote) 4 'ihe slaveholder is your (their) natural ally and tbe defender of your (their) rights and interests." A gain, we are told, that "in thia war the rich es cape the burdens it imposes, while the poor do tha fighting, and have to pay the coefc. Free negroes are overrunning the North aa paupers for white working men to support, or as low-priced laborers, crowding white men out of ihe maiket." "The laborer is thus beir-g reduced to the vassalage of the Middle Ages in order only that the negro should be free," eVc., etc. The class of the address indicates that it is intended to operato at the Chicago Convention, as well as upon the minda of the workingmeu here. A " Peace " can didate for President is demanded, and tha demand, T?e are told, will 44 have to be respected." Lord Brougham. The following is from the Lon don letter in the Birmingham Daily Pest : ' I adverted a week or two ego to the natural feebleness incidental to his great ege which isgrowirg upon Lord Brougham. On TLursdity a s.nte of the approaching change brought tears into tne old men's eyes, some tremulousnees to his tone, ard stopped his utterance. Ila was referring to the honible murder on the North London Railway, and ,pleading for the means of communication between tho guard and the passengers, Buch as exist on tho Conti nentel lines. I cannot say, for myself, my Lords (he added) that I partake of the prevailing alarm, because, at my time of life, " whether my life is shortened by two or three months or cot, (here be stopped from emotioc) is a matter ol comparative indifference. A night or two before tha venerable philanthropist wes in much better spirits, for Le had told their Lordships he had paid that day a visit to the new cooking depot in tha New Cut, Lambeth, wtere for a penny the working man got a beiD ot soup, which he had lasted, and better than that v?nich their Lordships could not have at their own taoles. For fourpance tho work., men could have a plate ot wholesome meat, peas acd potatoes. Tne house wai moved to a good dcul ol mirth, partly at tee earnestness of the o.d man, and partly at his advice to his brother peers to pay a visit to the New Cut tor themselves a region rendered classic by tbe Victoria theatre, but smelling too strong of fried tub and 8 ale vegetables to be very attractive : to sucn au astern oiy.
