The Navy.—The papers :irc publishing lists of the hundreds of officers of the navy who have been summarily dismi.s.sed, or turned adrift on half pay, by the Board of Navy Officers author ised b> act of last Congre.ss, wbo.se doing.s are stated to have been sanctioned by the Secretary of the Navy and the President, without any ex ception whatever. It is without doubt true, that there have l»i-en in the Navy a number of officers who.se old age. or infirmitie.^, or di.ssipated habits, have disquali fied them from the performance of active and full duties. But was it right to turn such men adrift by such a Star (^lamber process a.s that of the late Board, whose inquiries and decisions were all made in .secret, without the slightest op portunity for an accused to meet his accusers, or oven to know that he was accuaed? We cannot admit it. Such a process is abhorrent to every feeling of our nature, and is an outrage upon jus tice. In this country, every man should be en titled to a fair and open trial, before he is found guilty and subjected to an ignominious punish ment But these officers, some of them after tifty years of service, having perilled their lives and shed their bloo! in the defence of their country, have been accused in secret, tried in se cret, condemned in secret, and dishonored before the world. It is cruel, shameful conduct, and works the severe.st injury to the officers them selves and to their families, thus deprived of their means of living, after having disqualified them selves for the successful pursmit of any other pro- fes.sion. It will be eventually of great injury to the Navy itself; for capable men will shun a ser vice in which their old age is to be visited with such injustice and dishonor. \Ve .said above that the doings of the Board had been approved without exception. This is true. But it is reported that an exception is subse(|uently to be made of tho case of the vet eran Commodore Stewart, (Old Ironsides as he is called,) the oldest (,^aptain in the Navy, who ac quired such glorious laurels during the war of 1S12.» He is placed on “leave of absence’' by the Board, and the President and Secretary approve. But it is said that he is to be re-appointed to the command of the Philadelphia Navy Vard. This exception shows the iniquity of the whole affair. Commodore Stewart is too old for actice service. As “a tub to the whale” he is therefore .set aside; but the country would complain of such an act of ingratitude to so distinguished a man. The country must be propitiated, and therefore, the prf'ti nifet/ dismissal, as it would in effect be, and l>rftemh’i} approval, are to be revoked as to him, whilst hundreds of other, and perhaps far severer cases of hardship, will go uncorrected because the injured parties cannot command so much influ ence, and have never been named for the Presi dency, as Com. Stewart has been.
