SHERMAN ON THE QUESTION OF NAVAL RawKk.—Admiral Porter, some days ago. wrote to General Sherman, asking his opinion upon the Staff and Line controversy in the Navy. Gencral Sherman replied, and his letter is now before the House Naval Committee. Genera! Sherman says he has had sea, and does not want to go upon a vessel with more than one ca in. He says: “The object of all rank is not so much to confer power or honor as to fix responsibility. Thus, if the changes at sea on a long voyage would leave a ship with staff officers on board senior to the actual naval commander, the Government could not afford to let that commander off in case of wreck, di or defeat; therefore I take it for ranted that no law will be enacted that will feave it doubtful who is to be the responsible party. In the Army all our officers have positive rank, but the sixty-second article of war clearly establishes who is to command. If an officer in a corps should become disabled. then the next officer highest in the line should take command; theretore it frequently happens when a captain or lieutenant finds himeelt se, nior he commands the whole, though there may be under him surgeons, paymasters, &c., of the staff, with the rank of colonels, majors, &: who must obey his order.” In this line he sa) “On the whole, our Army system seems to work well in practice. But I do not feel justified in saying how far the same plan would work in the Navy. Asa matter of course, all kinds of bills find “easy admission into Congress for debate. But I feel certain the majority of members will not force on you any system of naval govern- ment that you think will result in the demoral- ization of ‘the service. I rather think they will defer to those who go down to the sea in great ships to make the 8 Which will preserve the liscipline of the Navy, and make it what it has 's been—the pride of our country.” ——+e0e- = THe Senate Commirrex on Counence, thi morning, had the Consular service under con- sideration, but took no action on any Cousular nominations. som experience at Tue Cunan QuEstion.—The House Commit- tee on Foreign Affairs, this morning, had under consideration the Cuban resolution introduced by Mr. Banks yesterday, but came to no vote upon it.

There was a very large and fashionable audience at the National Theater last night, and will be again this evening no doubt, as she appears in her new play of “Lorle.” To-mor- row evening she is to have a benefit.

On Monday afternoon about 2 o’clock, a desper- ate attempt at outrage was @ negro within half a mile of Dover, Delaware. His in- tended victim is a Miss Flick, a young lady of 16 or 17 years of age, who has recently moved to that neighborhood from Pennsylvania. She had been in town attending the noonday prayer meeting, and was on her way home, when she wassudk nly seized by the wretch. ‘A violent struggle ensued, during which the young lady successtully resisted him until her screams had called assistance, whereupon the negro turned and fied. The gentleman who had been called by the lady’s screams, as soon as he picked her up, started in L aetnsiy of the negro, but was unable to overtake him. Miss Flick was severely hurt about the throat, the villain having tried to choke her, and she was also much bruised about the limbs. She says she would know the man if she were to see him. Two men were ar- rested, but both were discharged, as the young lady declared neither of them to be the gailty party.— Wilmington Com. — THE GEORGIA SENATORS ELECT.—It wa+ announced yesterday in the Georgia Legislature the result ‘of the election of United Senators.
