In the old wars, the kill, judgment, and determination of our naval commanders were chiclly exhipited by the man- ner in which they suteht out thefr adversaries and brought them to battle. Iostile flects were romnctimes fu sight of each other for days— ealma, | iht winds, or foga presenting their ap- ‘ach cammander endeavoring by skille ful scamanshio tozain the weather-gauge. But the action fairly commenced, there was littla maneuvering—it was hard fighting; the ships were skl alongside an eneme, anil the valor of our saflors scttied the matter. If the Captaln were ‘disabled, the duty of his succeasor was rimple and relf-evident: If he were incompetent, Lia deficiencies could be made up by bis princi- pal officers; {f ke lacked courage, his men sup- plied the want, Nelson's genlus had made all the neceseary dispositions for hattle both at the Nile and Trafalear long before the battle com- menced; the Captalns had only to steer their #hive for thelr alotted adversary, and tho rest was done by thecresw, Tlad Nejson heen killed by the lirat shot fired at Trafalzar, the issue of the battle would have ticen the same. But how different now! From the hezinning to the end of an action, rapld and constant maneuvering Wil ba reunired s the ships must ba kept firmly 1 hand and skillfully guided: all the best ex- verlenca of the Admiral will be in continual re- «quest, and, should he be killed or disabled at o eritical moment, the onsequences wouid orob- ably be most serious, It 18 not too .nuch to say that the result of a naval engacement {n these days will depend entlrely tpon the skill of the euperlor otlicers, in defavlt of which the cour- nye and dlscipline of crews wilt avadl little, KENPER COUNTY.
