Sarr Poxrsuovra, | } Noxra Paciric Ocwan, Aug. 10, 1853. j Much has been said during the last year in regard &o the discipline of the navy. It seems, sir, that it is Jhigh time that there should be less talk aud more one, and that «oon, too, or the navy had better be ‘bolished extirely. ‘This is now the fifteenth year of may serving on board of 8 United States vessel ; my Girst appearance in the service was in the year 1833, wander the gallant and lamented Hull, on board the Dhio, sbip of the line ; Captain Joseph Smith was Ber Commander, That ship was in commission whirty-four wouoths; every man on board of her was happy The laws of the navy were stri tly worried out; every one who knew Captain Smith knew if they disobeyed those laws that they ‘would be puni-hed. Here let me mention that mo map was ever punished until he had had a hearing before the first and two other lieu- Renanta; if by them be was found guilty, he was pure to be punished. By this mode no man was ‘ever punisbes wrongfully. Ihave conversed with a hundred of old man-of-war's men, and their cry is, “Give ut di-cipline without flogging if it can be—if not, restore the flogging law; for then the old ‘sults’ wrill not have to do the duty of a lot of land-lubbers ‘who now ship in the service, who would not dare to enter it if the cat system was in vogue.” There is no gioubt but the flogging law was abused, but that vould have been casily remedied by a drum head court martial. [t is no punishment to a lazy man to fake him and place him in confinement under the fentry’s charge. Nine cases out of ten he bas some fuvurite book to read, and he commits some alight etfence, knowing that he will get contiaed rome five or ten days, and, during this time, his messmates have got to do his duty, carry him his rations, and, when night comes, get his hammock for him, he, perhaps, in an exulting manner, laugh’ ing Lew ‘or ther trouble, This is what is ealléd “ puuistinent.” The ship that I now serve ia has four ceiis erected on the berth deck; they &re fourteen ches square. If a man commits him- Felf, he is placed in cue of them from one to ten Gays, according tw the nature of his offence. He has fo stand up iu tris cage until the dram beats to quarters, and receives nothing but bread and water for fis food. At quarters be is taken up to the brig omthe deck ; here: a nice feast awaits him; his comrades rough the day look out and have a good dish fixed up for bim. ana, through the negligence of the sentry on post, it i. passed iuto bim. Thus is the commandi’g officer's orders violated in the outset, and 1 will defy sny man to keep a prisoner on bread. ené¢ water ov vourd of oor ships, more especially as the sentry bav-ng charge of him cares no more for the orders be receives from his orderly than he does Jor an old cout that he is too lazy to clean aad fbrows overboard The appointment of foreiguers fto fill the various petty situations on board of Our ships, ix a great aud growing evil, and has done more to create dissutisfuction ou shipboard than any- toing else. In vive svips out of tea you will fiud a Inajority of the petty officers are foreigners; some of them, according to their own account, had to fiee their own country. It may be asked, how is this? It easily a:-wered; @ foreigner on shipboard sets self to work, and exdeavors to gain the @ood graces of the officers, either by being wery atrentive to his affairs, or perhaps makes him a fancy boy; is full of the “yes’’ and ‘no, sir ;” bis bat off every time an officer passes im, &c., &c. ‘This dore, he is sure of a petty offi- cer's billet, whetber qualified for it or no. Again St may be asked, ere there any American; in these @bips! (for, certainly as far as the crews are concern- ed, our navy 1s now a foreign navy, which is a dis- race to the vountry.) Certainly there are good aud Yankees, full of love of country, and ready to die for it—meu, who all their days have been mari- yners—wen who are perfect seamen—men who have pb - beper wo eT a a a seen voter days," every way capable ling any Situation on ‘abt pboard; but they are eo independent, too democratic, to stoop to these mean and coa- temptisle sources to obtain those situations, and for being thus independent they are by B_ majority of the officers considered unfit fur Office. Again, the commander of a vessel of war, re ed se his eo have confidence cers; they treated as 3 t. wb et Decaste to Tespect them, they “faahi be altowed more privileges, and as long as they be- daved themselves be permitted to goon shore; and again, whev a petty officer reports a man, that re- ee be uoticed, and if the offender is guilty should be punixhed accordingly; do this, and you will do much to reate good discipline in the navy. I do not wish t be understood as advocating flog ing 28 ap abstract measure, but I say, if we cannot Eave our sbips kept in an orderly and man-of-war Etyle, give us the old cats. Anotuer great evil is the chipping of every lundsman that now goes to revdezvous ; hundreds go there now that would sooner jump overboard than go &o waif there was any punishment in vogue. As I Said before, what iszy man or loafe: cares for con- fixoment? He has all night in and no watch to keep. I would recowmend the establisting of adrum head court martial, to be held once a week (if needed) on board of our -hips of war. Let the accured have a Yair trial, and if and patty, let his punishment be confinement in the cells, day and night, on bread Snd water, and a forfeiture of pay, and be prohibit: ed from going on shore. The punishment to be warded according to the nature of the offence. As &e any serious offence, such a: stealing, dezertionfrom oats, smuggling rum, and habitual drunkenness, I would recommend that on the third convic- tion, the commanding officer be bound to dis- c him in any port, forfeiting all pay. Pat hia solitary cot finement day and night, on bread and ter a6 food on shi |, and you will see better rin bards ge war. Again, I would urge that the Navy instract all commanders when they put these ships into commission that le petty officers, situations must and shall be given ) Americavs. Once appointed, let them be respect- fed as such. I would also recommend that the lieu- tengnte of cach division, be bouad to make outa written report, every six months, of all men and a in their respective divisions, who have behaved il, and performed their duty faithfully, and hand it to the commanding officer, whose daty it shall be & have it transmitted to the Navy Department, aad at the end of the cruise that each of these men and boys receive some additional pay as a reward and an inducement for others to re-enter the service again. As to the of the men and boys in our navy, it is certainly too little. Since Cal for- nia and Australia broke out with their gold mines, the demand for seamen, ordinary seamen, and boys, has increased beyond all account. 1 will ask what seaman is going to ship in the navy for $12 ver month, when he can gt $20 or $25 in the merchant service? The pay of the petty officers, seamen, or- fo ve a seamen, landsmen boys must and ought . I think, sir, should Congress pass abe drumbead court-martial law, have the solit confinement day and night carried timely into effect, Sorfeit some of their pay for every offence, appoint Americans to the petty officers’ situations, aud in- crease the pay of all, and of all things let the offi- = love snd have boot Reger of the men in their carte, USE severity to have an order fulfilled, how Feisty, Pren no parti , and I, as an old salt, believe the navy in a great measure will be recluimed from its present deplorable state.

The Grand Court of this settlement has recently had befure them for tria' a case of such an extraor dinary nature that [ have thonght it worth while to fend you the facts as they were elicited on the day of trial. It appears that a Spaniard, who came to €his place from Havana, named Andrase, purchased @ emall vessel, which he“manned with a crew, nd having taken on board a small quantity of notions, proceeded with his vessel to the cuast wf Yucatan, where, expecially at the villages of Ascencion and Saneti Spiritus, he induced a number of Indians to come on board his vessel wnder the pretence of trading with them; that having made the poor wretches drank and otherways harmless, he then proceeded with these kidnapped on board his vessel to the island of Mageres, where a certain Don Francisco Marty y Torrons has ‘an extensive fishing establishment, and where the aid Indians were transferred to one or two small ‘weasels belonging to said Marty y Torrens, and con- ‘veyed to Havana, where they are held by the latter wamed person as slaves.

Jennings was tried and found guilty, and others are yet to be tried for the offence, It is est mated that ten or twelve thousand persone were present to wit- ness the execution. 4 The condemned for a week or two previous to his execution, manifested considereble interest in the subject of religion, ard he was attend+d by the Rev. Messrs. Boyakin and Vandeventer, who afforded him all the consolation in their power. Before leav- ing the jail be bade adicu to his fellow posone: who. it is suid, wept bitterly, while Jenni pressed all emotions. He then took leave of the Jailor and family, and expressed great gratitude for the kindness he had received at their hands. He also expressed the same for the Sheriff, and then took his seat in the carriage with the Sheriff, three winisters, and one or two other persons. A large procession, atterded by the Robideanx Greys and a posse summoned as guards, accompanied h‘m to the place of his execution. Duricg the whole of this tune he mais tained the utmost tranquillity, andaever betrayed the least sign of emosion or fear. After reaching the gallows, be took his stand upon the platform, when the Rey. Mr. Vandeventer ad- dressed the Aunighty God in a ‘erveut and appro- priste prayer.

JENNINGS, fon, AUGUS(US Another Haul of Cincinnati Counterfelters, THE COUNTERFEIT BILLS FOUND IN THEIR POSSps- SION— ESCAPE OF THE CHIEF DES! Ty px aMINA- TION OF THE PARTIES—*OUND OVER TO ANSWER— INTERESTING D*\ELOPEMKNIS—FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS COUNTERFEIT MONEY RECOVERED, ETC. {F.om the Cincinnati Gazstte, Sept. 16 ) The police have been aware, for mouths past, that ‘ang of counterfeiters have been at work at thair | infamous business for a long time in and about Hamilton, in Butler county. Through the agency of Edward Paxton, the Mayor of this city, and three offi- cers, became acquainted with the names of certain par- ties who were largely engaged 1n the sale of connter- feit notes to persons who were willing to incur the risk of giving them currency. Paxton has been engaged for several weeks past in the purchase of these notes with the cognizance of the Mayor, but the matter has been kept quiet with the hope of ascertaining | the parties who dealt in the fraudulently issued notes of the Ohio State Stock Banks. In this way he became acqnainted with not less than thirteen different parties, most of them living in retired, out-of-the-way places, in the county, from all of whom counterfeits of every variety and denomination, and to any amount, could be pro- cured. From several of these Paxton had purchased counterieit bills, chiefly, however, on the City Bank of New Haven, (Conn.) Further developements were anticipated, but suspicions having, in some way, got out among the counterfeiters in respect to Paxton’s trustworthiness, it became necessary for the police to act with what information was in their possession. Marshal Elliot, of Hamilton, who had been kept informed of the state of affairs, pelepanted on Wed- nesday to Marshal Hitshcock, of Dayton, and the officers from this city, whose names we have already given, ull of whom assembled in Hamilton late on that evening, and made immediate arrangements for the neceesary arrests. Officer Hayman, with two as- sistants, went, about 11 o'clock at night, to a room in Hamilton, where three of the implicated parties, Mores Mann, Thomas MeGhehan, aud Samuel Stod- dard, alias John Wright, were found engaged in a game of poker ; on their persons were found coun- terfeit fives on the Trader's Bank of this city, twos on the State Bauk of Indiana, and tens on the City Bank of New Haven. These three men were among those from whom Paxton had purchased counter- feits. They were immediate y lodged in jail. The same’ evening about 9 o'clock, Paxton had gone tothe house of Matthew Cummins, situated near the lock on the Miami Canal, about a mile and a balf from Hamilton, with the view of purchasing from him some counterfeit bills, On arriving at Cummins’ house, Paxton was taken to an adjacent store, where he bought of Cummins two tens of the City Bank of New Haven, though great reluctance was manifested by the latter to sell so small a quan- tity, especially to a comparative stranger. After drinking together several times, Cummins informed Paxton of the names of several dealers, previously unkvown to him, but who have since ascer- tained to be engaged in the business. When Cummins handed over the two bills to Pax- ton. he selectsd them from a larce joi! drawn from his pocket. For these bills he received twenty-five cents on the dollar. A further arrangement was made between them that Cummins should meet Pax- ton at the State Fair at Hamilton on Satur fay of this week, when he should sell him five hundred dol- lars of covey (flash name for counterfeit bills) at the same rate. In the course of their conversation, Cummint sata that he “hed facilitice uring any kind or amount of money from headquarters continually,” and that some Hartford. Conn. ,money of thé denomination of $5, $10, and $20, would soon be 1eady, the plates having recently been prepared. He further remarked that “a man has to be shary in this country,’ but that he would never be count: This was said with reference to Paxton’s being a safe man to do business with. About midnight Marsbal Elliot, with officers Phillips and De Haven, knocked st Cun mins’ door, which was opened by a weman, when they entered and found Cummins just rising from bed, whose resistance, aided by the screams of the women, did not prevent his arrest. No money was found on search around the premises, but from’ his coat pocket a large roll of City Bank, New Haven, counterfeits was extracted, Cum- mins, greatly excited and stammering badly, claim- ed that he had been on a spree, got drunk, &c., and that this money had been placed in his pecket with- out his knowledge. Previous to this, while the offi- cers were vainly searching for the money, Phillips asked Cummins where it was concealed, to which he replied, “ go to h- | and find it.” Cummins was also safely locged in Hamiiton jail. Another of the accused parties, William Marshall, & man of wealth, residing abous three miles from Dantown, and twelve from Hamilton, and wh) was considered the leading spirit in these frauds, was ar- rested between four and five o’clock on Thursda’ morning, by Marshal Hitchcock, officer Hayman and cthers, unger the following _circumstances:—Sur- rounding the house, Marshal Hitchcock knocked at the door, which was opened by Marsball, who was instantly seized by Hitchcock. The women of the house maée_a furious attack upon the officers with chairs, &c., but their resistance was of no avail. After securing Marshall the house was searched, and one $100 bill. of the Bank ot Peoria, about a hun- dred dallars of the Ohio State Stock Bank of the de- nomination of ones, twos, and fives; fives, threes, and twos, of the Farmers’ and Merchants’ Exchan, Company; tens and twos, of the Canal Bank, Mid- dleton, Ohio, part signed and part unsigned; ones,on the Thames Bavk, Connecticut, were found concealea either in the house or beneath a stone in the yard, back of the house. The eutire amount seized was between two and three thousand dollars. Marshall was carried to Hamilton, where he ar- rived in charge of the officers about § o'clock, Re- ceiving notice that the other parties, whom it was intended to arrest, had_ made tcir escape, it is sup- posed throngh the indiscretion of one of the parties entrusted with the sesret, the persons already arrested were carried before Mayor Dougherty,-who required $10,000 bail for the appearance of ‘each that after- noon at 3 o'clock. Four of the accused were imme- aay committed to jail, but Marshall was taken by Sheri tte around Hamilton, in hopes of pro- curing bail. ailing to do this, he was brought back to the aoe office, when the Sheriff refused to commit without a mitimus, which was then handed to the Sheriff by the Mayor. At this point, the lawyers of Marshall interposed, and said as it was so near the honr for the examina- tion—it being then about 1 o’clock—it was not worth while to commit him, and reqnested the Mayor to apr oint a special officer to take charge of him during the ,interval. Robert E Duffield was then specially appointed to watch over Marshall, and in fulfilment of his trust, walked around the streets on one side, while his prisoner walked on the other. At the first opportanity Marehall bolted, and that ia the last that has been ‘een of him. Great excitemeut ensued among the citizens of Hamilton in consequence of the negligence of the Sheriff and of Doffield, both of whom we:e soon compelled to start in search of him. At three o'clock Matthew Cummins was arraigned on two charges—one for having in his possession, and the other for dealing in and disposing of coun- terfeit bills of the City Bank of New Haven. The eviderce being concliwive, he was held in $2,000 bonds to answer at the O:tober term of the Com- mon Pleas Coutt ot Butler county. Thomae McGhehan and Moses Mann were arraign- ed, but, pleading that they were not ready for tral A their cases were continued until pine o'clock this morning, and they were re-committed to jail.
