President Pierce has been more fortunate than
some of his predecessors in the unity of his Cabi

Next to the department of the Treasury—if in
deed not with it or before it—no one of the Exe
cutive branches is more closely identified with the
great interests of commerce than that of the Navy
Department. It was well said by Carlyle that
“Commerce is King.” The country, therefore,
owes to Mr. Secretary Dobbin maay acknowledg

discharged his arduous duties.

rail roads which surround us have drawn off a
large portion of our trade; and that others pro
jected will have a like injurious effect if we do
nothing to counteract tlcir operation. In that
event, no one can doubt that the diminution of
business must inevitably lead to a loss of popu
lation and wealth, and a loss of population as in
evitably produce a depreciation of property. That
such would be the result of inaction, is as plain
as that the sun shines in the heavens. No one
can be found to dispute it. It is not less plain
that a rail road in any direction would give an
impetus to trad«, add to our population, and ap
preciate the value of property. Such results have
followed elsewhere, and would follow here. Above

aud they will have to stand or fall. Must we
fall? Is any one prepared to say yes! to this
berious question?
What was the Cause?—The Raleigh Stand
ard, some weeks ago, announced that it was able
to explain the cause of the defeat of the Fayette
ville Coal Fields Railroad Bill. We had some
curiosity to hear the Standard’s explanation, and
asked for it. But the Standard is mum. The
explanation might not be judicious.
In the meantime people down here are puzzled
to know how it is that Gen. Dockery had influ
ence enough with the Democracy at Raleigh first
to carry and then to defeat the W’^est«rn Exten
sion involving millions of dollars; to carry the
Cheraw Coal Fields Road, and thus force the
Democracy, as the Wilmington Journal has it,
to “cut the throat of the State;” to control the
legislature generally and particularly; and yet
could not prevail upon it to make a trifling loan
(well secured) of the State’s credit, to aid Fay
etteville in a work generally admitted to be the
most advantageous ever projected in the State.
The General worked for our road with a will;
he has been for many years not only a talking
but a practical friend of Fayetteville, and he
hoped much for its benefit from the late Legia.

ruling powers at Raleigh so hostile to Fayette
ville that even their affection for Gen. Dockery
was insufficient to overcome it?

Pecuniary Persuasivrs.—Speaking of bribery
and attempts at bribery an exchange relates
the following case which lately occurred in
Louisiana;
A resident of New Orleans, who is the propri
etor of a “Commercial academy,” which he wished
to have incorporated, had a bill for that purpose
presented to the Louisiana Legislature now in
session. By way of securing or hastening its
passiige, he adlressed to one of its members the
bell replied, finally cornering the Secretary, that
the section of the act of July 21 referred to was
repealed on August 31, 18.52!
We suppose that the clerks will have their pay
now.
The Corruption Cases—Another of the im
mortal four, Mr. Edwards of N. Y., resigned his
seat to avoid being expelled—committed suicide
to escipe hanging, as some one well expresses it.
This makes three of the corrupt crew who have
thus virtually confessed their guilt whilst protest
ing their innocence, viz: Messrs. Gilbert, Matte-
son, and Edwards, all of New York State. In
the case of Mr. Welch of Connecticut, the com
mittee thought the evidence sufficient to justify
his expulsion with the others, but the House was
more charitable aud let him off. The two Re
porters implicated, Simonton aud Triplett, were
also expelled. |
Shockino Affair in Washington.—At the |
President’s Levee on Friday night last, Col. D. j
C. Lee, a clerk in the Pension office, seized by ,
the collar a highly respectable and wealthy!
gentleman of Alexandria and accu^ied him of
picking his pocKet of his pocket book. An al- j
tercation ensued, ending for the moment in an ^
exchange of cards. Soon afterwards Lee was in- .
formed that he was mistaken in his man, that '
this was a gentleman of high character. Yet
when Hume called on him the next day, with a
friend, and stated his well known position in .so- j
ciety, Lee refused to retract his charge. Hume j
then struck Lee three blows with a cane, and
Lee shot him dead. The occurrence produced ;
great excitement in both cities. A committee of j
100 citizens of Alexandria proceeded to Wash- j
ington to convey the body to his home.
New Orleans, Jan. 10, 1X57.
Hon. Henry St. Paul, Senator, La—Dear Sir:
—If you get my bill through among the first, you
can put me down for a fee of 850. It passed the
House and two readings of the Senate. I depend
on you. It is impossible for me to be there.
Respectfully,
On receipt of this epistle, Mr. St. Paul rose in
his place, and read it to the Senate. Whereupon
a motion was made and unanimously carried, that
the bill in question be immediately taken by the
Clerk to the open space in front of the capitol,
and then and there burnt! All of which was
done forthwith.
Silk Going up—Everything is “going up,”
owing to the war with China. First it was tea.
—and now it is silk. The Manchester Guardian
says:—
“The destruction of the crop in France, and
the war in China, have given a great impulse to
the silk market, prices having gone up Is. to Is.
6d. per lb. this year.”
Now is the time, then, to set about taking in
a reef or two of those hooped skirts,—the silk
ones, we mean.

said to reside a lady who has six sons, each of
whom is six feet four and three quarter inchcs

in the right direction, which it is to be hoped may
not be permitted to stop. In the department of
ordnance and gunnery great improvements have
beeu made. Judicious measures of a prelimi
nary character have been adopted to secure for
sea-serviee a supply of experienced seamen, well
qualified by training for the exercise of heavy mi
naval armament, and for having the ordnance of , The above unexpended balance is applicable to

no longer problematical; and it now only remains
that our men-of war afloat may be amply provided
with all the well proved aud positive inventions
and discoveries in small arms which may be made
from time to time, to render this branch of ths
service eminently efficient
It is to be regretted that the proposition so for
cibly urged by Mr. Dobbin in his annual report
for the construction of additional sloops of war,
with the auxiliary power of steam, which from
their comparative small draft of water might be
serviceable on shallow coasts and within the ports
of our Southern .seaboard, has met with so littie ■
of legislative favor. Unless this increase shall
be made and the old account kept good by razee- ,
ing or repairing tho ships of the line and such old
frigates as the Brandywine. Potomac, Savannah
and others, now lying at our Navy Yard housed-
over and in ordinary, our nominal naval force
must soon dwindle down to half its apparent
strength, and the vulnerable shoal harbors upon
our Southern coast, which cannot be penetrated
and defended by vessels of a larger class, will
continue to be without adequate protection. Since
the successful experiment of razeeing the frigates
Macedonian and Constellation to sloops of the first
class, the opinion prevails very generally that all
the old .ships of the line and the old frigates
should be similarly repaired upon the basis of
the next lower class,—and that the favorite Eng
lish plan should be adopted, of giving to those
which may be so altered, the auxiliary power of
steam, whenever their dimensions will permit it.
Perhaps the best feature of .Mr. Dobbin’s ad
ministration of the Navy Department haa been
his constant and unremitting care for sea
men. The system of honorable discharges for
good conduct, and the law for increased pay of
seamen, adopted by Congress under his recom
mendation,—the system of inspecting supplies
more closely at the several naval stations, accord
ing to the suggestions of the Chief of Bureau of
Provisions and Clothing—that of manufacturing
the medicines required for ship’s use by our Navy
Surgeons, under the advice of the Chief of the
Medical Bureau—and the careful steps which
have been taken to have the companies of ships
more comfortably berthed on board—each and all
have had a tendency to render the seamen of our
Navy not only contented and healthy, but ever
willing for the most perilous service.
Not the least of the monuments which Mr.
Dobbin will leave to mark his Secretaryship, are
the magnificent “six frigates,” and the govern
ment foundries at the navy yards of New York,
Boston, Washington and Norfolk. These will ever
be associated with the recollection of his efficient
naval administration.
It has been too frequently the case that new
Secretaries of the Navy, iustead of taking up the
service at the points of reform and progress at
which their predecessors had arrived, have pre
ferred to begin anew and reconstruct the entire
work for which they are, of course, responsible
to the country. While we would not be obnox
ious to the charge of making impertinent sugges
tions, we must express a hope that the successor
of Mr Diibbiu will commence where his predeces
sor has left off,—that the apprentice system, which
has thus far worked .so well and promises so
much of substantial improvement, may be en-
couniged, and a few of the best of the youths
thus apprenticed to the government, annually
ailmitted to the privileges of .the Annapolis
Academy,—that the cruises of our ship of war
may be limited to two instead of three years: and
that seamen shall not be detained in service on
foreign stations over and beyond the period of
their enlistment
We are well assured from the statements of
the incoming President, already expressed, that
he will not fail to care for the Navy as the guar
dian of our foreign commerce,—and we trust that
the new Secretary, whoever he may be, will in
most respects carry out the work so well begun
by his predecessor.—Journal of Commerce. .
