New Vouk, Satu Maree BA LSsh.. =e The News. From our Washington despatche:, it appears tha: Col. Lamon, the President’s envoy to Charles- ton, deciined to exercise the discretionary power with which he was clothed, and issue the order to M jor Anderson for the evacuation of Fort Sum- ter He returned to Wa-hingtoa and reported the facta respecting the straitened condition of the @arriven to the President, who yesterday at an earty hour summoned the Cabinet to held a con- euitaion on the subject, Their deliberations led to a confirmation of the determination of the gov- ernment to abandon the tort. The order will be communicated to Major A:derson, and the garri- son will evacuate Fort Sumter as soon as the vea- sel to convey them away arrives in harleston harbor. At ia-t accouuts the garrison had sup- plier sufficient for a few days only. Contradictory repurts a8 to the designs of the governmert with reference to Fort Pickens have been orculated forsome days past. The repab- Jican journais assert that the fort is to be rein- forced— inde: d it is announced that both troops and supplies have already been landed. Our correspondents from Wa-hington, however, state that the Southern Commissioners, and also con- servative men of the border States, have been a@asured that no at‘empt would be maie to re- * eve the fort—that the military status of that fost would not be disturbed [tis furthermore Stated that the reports in the republican journals are putin circulation solely for the purpose of influenoing the coming elections in New England. The news from Havana bythe Quaker City yes- terday is of the highest importance. Spanish in- trigue for the annexation of St. Domingo has at length taken a visible shape. A concerted plaa for causing disaffection in the island, by the emi- gration there of persons hired for the work, has been ging on fur some time, and no little con- 6ternation was created by the hoisting in St. Do- mingo of-the Spanish flag on the 16th inst. Spain fs ostensibly to create a protectorate over these emissaries, for which purpose three vessels-of-war, With troops, arms and munitions, have been sent to Gt. Domingo. The result will be the forcible ac- quisition of the island. Other vessels-of-war, with 10,000 troops, are to be sent from Cuba avd from Spain. It is thought that by an arrangement with France Spain will also acquire Hayti, while Mexico qil!l not be forgotten. The internal oisse sions in the United States, and Eng- land's apathy on seccount of her cotton interests, teem to have prompted Spain to this bold step of national aggrand zement. The Quaker City brings among ber passengers General Miramon, who is en route for Spain via New York. The United States war steamer Mohawk was at Havana. The Havana snear market was quiet and freighta de- cliving. Health of the city good. - By the Quaker City we have intelligeace from Pritish Honduras to the'20th inst. The operations of the Joint Commission to determine the boundary Lnes b tween Guatemala and British Honduras had met with a great deal of dissatisfaction om the part of the residents of the latter place. many mer- chants complaining that valuable property had been cut off by the new boundary line. No other news of importance. The steam-hip Bienville, the particulars of the seizure of which we gave a few days since, has been reiensed by the customs au- therities, the owners having entered into bonds to pay any penalty that may be im- posed in-couxequence of the vessel having brought goods from New Orleans wikhout the proper United States clearance. The goods from New Oricans amount iu vaiue to above $1,500, and these goods are beld by the Custom House officers pro tem. The Bienville will positive y ail for Havana and New Orieans on Monday next. It appears that several vessels have recently arrived from the ports of the seceded states, the captains of which, not having the requisite papers, have been fined by the Collector, nut to prevent delay the fines have been psid under protest. Our correspondent at Bricgetown, Barbadoes, writig on the 12th instant, says —The British ship-of war St George, wich bis Royal Highness Prince Alfred on board, arrived here on the 4th instant, and for seven or eight days his reception by the authorities and inhabitants of the island wa grand inthe extreme. His Royal Highness he taken a tour through the islands, and was de- lighted with hia r-ception. On the 12th instant he left for St. Vincent, The Tribuna of Buenos Ayres, of February 1, comes to as in mourning for the events in San Juan, the details of which are as revolting and hear’ sickening as any that have ever disgraced the Spanish-american name. Colonel saa follow- ed up bi- victory over Aberastain by can-ing that brave but unfortunate gentleman to be wantonly Qasassinated on the road, after having made him march barefooted and almost naked till he drop- peo down with fatigue, and becausw he was unable to walk further his savage guards murdered him and chopped his body into fragments, Saa con- tinued his progress to the town of San Juan, which he delivered up toathree days’ pillage. He had the three interesting daughters of Aberastain dragged into the street and publicly violated py his licentious soldiery. Every grown man found in the place he ordered to be shot; declared the town fia a state of «lege for a period of forty days; and, then, in the midst of more thaa «ix hundred victims, he writes to acquaint the government that “ law has triumphed in San Juan.’’ Gov. Mitre, of Bucnos Ayres, immediately issued a prooiamation to the people, who were perfect'y furious with indigna- tion, in which he endeavors to calm them by pro- Mising that the actors in that f-arful tragedy shall be punished Letters published in the Trfbuna, by eyewitnesses of the scene we are speaking of, say the battie of Posiro only lasted half an hour, and that for three hours +ubsquently Saa's men were engaged in deliberate'y mordering their prisoners, most of whom were mere boys.

The news is not of special importance, Commercial affairs continued depressed. ‘Phe Legislature ef Catifornia bud been engaged in bal- loting for @ United States Senator. They ad- journed on the 16th to the 19th, and Mr. MoDou- gall’s supporters were confident of electing him at the next meeting. In the State Senate yesterday a number of bills were acted upon. Among those reported upon favorably was that passed by the Assembly some days since in reference to the Post Office site in this city. This bill, as amended-and passed in the Asrembly, gives the consent of the State to the purchase by the federal government of any site within the city that it may select. Several other bills baving reference to this city were either or- deredto athird reading or reported upon favor- ably from the committees, but nothing of very great importdnes received final action. In the As sembly the pyevious vote on the Albany and Susque- hanns Rairord was reconsidered, and the bij! pass- ed, The conewarent resoludons from the Senate id favor of pre ug for an amendmentto the consti- tution io pwohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors wore called ya, and elicited g Wapth debate, Sut were finaliy vou-concurred tm, A number of re- psirances were received im the Assemoly inst the proposed Breadway Railroad. The ‘ca mittee oo Cities and Wilages had under con- leration the g@ity tax levy, but, without deciding opemeunts, portponed it to Tuesday next. The bil in redorenioe i¢ the powers of the Aldermen in regomd to cowwacts was made the special order in the House for next Monday aftermoon. The Canal Board at Albany on Thursday gave the forwarders aud millers a hearing, and read- justed the tolls, as follows:—Fiour, wheat, corn, &c., two and a balf mills; barley, three mills, It is expected that this spring, for the first time, the full benefits of the enlargement will be realized the entire length of the Frie, Oswego and Cayuga and Sereca canals, as the work of preparing them tor seven feet of water, by the opening of naviga- ion, is going on vigorously. Orders have been received at the Brooklyn Navy Yard from the Department at Washington to get the storeship Release ready for sea immediately. Accordingly yesterday provisions and stores of all descriptions were being put on board with all despatch, and her rigging was undergoing the ne- cessary overhauling. It is not yet known who are © be her commander and officers. The same se- eresy is observed in regard to her d@stination; but it is believed she is being sent to convey supplies to the Gulf squadron. We are again under mang obligations to the kind and considerate purser of the steamship Ma- tanzas, Mr. J. E. Huertas, who brought us Ha- vana news, letters and papers of the latest dates, as well as files of his own and other newspapers published in Matanzas. We beg Mr. Huertas to receive our thanks for these and numberless other kindnesses for which we are indebted to him. . The steamships Star of the West and Coatza- coalces, from New York, were seen on the 23d inst., Within a day’s sail of Indianela, Texas, for which port they were bound. The co-ton market contigued firm yesterday, though ome less active. The sales embraced about 3,000 bales, closing on the basis of 12%c. for midilig uplands, though some sales were reported at 1250. The flour macket was less active and buoyant, wiile sales were fair, but the prices for common and medium grades of sta'e and Western were easier, Wheat was also loss sctive, while prices for common qualities were rathor lower. Corn was also heavy and easier, while a fair demand existed for boih home use and for export. Pork was ivactive at $16 76 for moss and at $12 50a $13 for prime—the latter figure for extra. Sugars were active and prices steady; the rales footed up about 3,224 bhds,, at prices given im another column. Coffeo was stoady, with limited sales. Freights were unchanged, while en- Bagrments were made toa fair extent. The Great Revolutionary Crisis—What is the Duty of Our Capitalists? The moneyed men and oapitslists of our large cities, hold the furure destinies of the country in their hands. They represent the surplus wealth of the pation, and from them glove can be derived the means, so eagerly sought tor by the governments at Washington and Montgomery, of plunging the two sections into a bloody civil war. If they do their duty; if they are fully alive to the fearfulness of the respopstoility which resta upon them, they will not contribute a single farthing to forward the iniquit us and suicidal purposes cherished by both the secession aud abolitionist administra- tions. Two Secretaries of the Treasury are in the market fe loans Mr. Memminger re- quires fifteen millions of dollars—a tnird of which is to be paid immediately; while Mr Chase demands seventeen millions, of which eight wre to be bid for, on Tuesday next. They went the money, in order to assemble troops, provide munitions of war, concentrate naval suength, and develope, in hideous detail, the horrible programme that shall render reconci- liaion impossible, and secure the supremacy of their respective factions. If the capitalists of New York and New Orleans are fuithless to the constimency of wealth and prosperity they represent, and grant the loans thdt have becp asked for the last hopes of those who de- sire areconstruction of the confederacy will be destroyed. They will bave prepared the way for the expeadi ure of hundreds of millions mere, which will be swallowed up ia the same awfal vortex Universal bavkruptcy, und a wanton, causelers pational ruin will be the final result of their shortsighted calculations, and confl- dence and credit will be destroyed by the very hands that have been industriously engaged for three-quarters of & century, in elevating the country to its recent pinnacle of greatness The British House of Commons is 80 consti- tutea that it represents the interests of pro- perty in the United Kingdom. All moaeyed intgresis are properly interpreted there, and no government can obtain supplies, until the ob- ject for which they are granted bas beea ma- tarely copsicered, and until those who lend, have well weighed the propriety of the course rowolved upon, by their respoosible agents who borrow. Such is not the case in the United States of America. The members of the House of Representatives are chosen by majorities, who frequently care little how the property of the country may be dirsipated; por is the Senate composed with any direct reference to economy in the administration of affairs. The Capitalists of our large cities, are, however, a class apart, holding within their grasp the power which our national legislature cannot possess. They represent the aggregate accu- mulations of manufacturers, merchants, agri- culturists and mechanica; they distribute the surplus wealth which flows from commerce and trade; and are the reservoirs to which govern- menta and individuals have recourse, for objects of necessity or enterprise. They con- stitute much of the worth, intelligance, ia tegrity, and patriotism of both the slavehold- ing and non-tlavebolding States. Their ta- terest in the preservation of peace, is prodi- pious, and the people have @ right to look to and firmness the Derqui, notwithsranding his circular, is suspeoted j emergency that nas een grasted by the fao- Of being privy to these monstrous Proceedings, By te Nevived Of the overlond exprem at Fort gogues. If the mheries of Jaterneoing strife | war promises to be eputied, tions cource of Northern and Soatherg dema NEW YORK HERALD, beve beep so far averted, it has not been owing to want of a vicious and depraved policy, oa the part of the Lincola admuwtration and rulers in the Confederate States, but to the de- pleted treasuries at Washington and Mont- gomery. It is i be hoped that a flaming sword will vot be put into their hands, by tho who will become its first victims, in case the demon of war is let loose upon the land. The preservation of amity betwebn the two sections; initiatory eteps towards a recognition of southern rights by the North; the ubandon- ment of every show of hostile array agalost the seceding States; and a dismissal of the troops tbat bave been concentrated, in oiff-rent localities, by both goveramens, are conditions, witbout which not a dellar ought to be advanced upon either of the two loans. What do we see now? Organs ef the Washing- ton administration boast that four bundred troops have, probably, by special order from tos Secretary of War, been already throwa into Fort Pickéiss; Genera! Reaae is drawing troops together, with bloody design, at Ponsscola; President Jefferson Davis has made requisi tions, on various States, for several thou- sands of men; General Houston has been authorized to concentrate an army in Texas. to “administer a useful lesson to the traitors ;” our naval forces have been recslled from thy Mediterranean, Pacific, and Gulf of Mexico; apd every symptom is exhibited of a perverse and dogged determination to precipitate col- lision, aud overturn what remains of general proeperity, Will the moneyed men of the United States become the instruments of uch diabolical schemes? Will they fire their own dwellings? Destroy with insane hands the magnificent social and political fabric, of which the corner stone was cemented in the blood of their forefathers? The prospect before the’ nation, is dreary and checriess in the extreme. The future never has been so dark, or the clouds that obscure the horizon so menacing. Corrupt leaders are straining every nerve to hurry the people of the United States into civil war, aod, great as the reaction bas been against section! treason, no time or opportunity has yet been afforded for an expression of the popular will. Four-fifths of the masses everywhere desire peace, They condemn the conduct of their rulers, and these latter are conjuring to their aid storm and tem- pest, without which every vestige of their power will soon be swept away. They can do votoing however without money, and it is the imperative duty of our capitalists to see thai they do not obtain it. Toe Barcaw Between Tammany Hat anp TE ALBANY LeGIsLaTURE.—The republican corruptionists at the State capital are once more at work, at the dirty business of concoct- ing schemes to plunder this city, under pretext of amending its charter. A commission has been appointed, half of whom are republicans, and the otber half Tammany democrats. Many of the latter, are of the lowert stripe of Pewter Mug and Coat Hole eorruptionists, and two ot tbe former are said to be silent partners in the firm which has the Croton Aqueduct contract No good can come from their deliberations, nor do they intend any. Their efforts will be directed to the consummation of the bargain, wade previously to the Presidential election, by which the Tammany clique bound them- elves to give indirect suppor: to the abolition ticket in November, provided the aid of the re publicans wus guargnteed to aid the Tammany ticket next fall. The slate made up by Vani many, contains the worst names that could have been selected. It is so bad thut each in dividual upon it, is endeavoring to betray all of tbe rest, in order to secure his own position, which is endangered by the others. Not one candidate trusts the other, and the masses bave faith in none of them. A split of some kind is probably inevitable, and the sooner the better; but, meanwhile, all are cordially united ia sac rificing the interests of this city, in order to put as much plander as possible iato their owu pockets. Our taxes are twelve millioas of dollars, of which the greater proportion is to be divided among these republican and Tam many regues. ’ Aristocracy Noxta anp Sovra.—The repub- lican papers are continually representing thw the slaveowners of the South are all aristo- crats, apd comprise an odious oligarchy, waile al] the democracy of the country is to be found atthe North If the posression of wealth cousti tutes an aristocracy in the owners thereof, we think that there is far more of it to be found ia the Nortbern than in the Southern States All the bapkers and financiers, the rich merchan's and shipowners, and more especially the mili owpers and manufacturers, according to this rule, form a vastly more numerous body of aristocrats and oligarchs, and @ more mis chievous one, too, as far as the interests ot the masses are concerned, than the Southern slave- holders. The truth is that there does exist » kind of pretentious aristocracy in the country, whore rank is based on wealth; but it is +cat- tered all over the couvtry, in every quarter, end is peculiar to no particu-. lar section. It comprises, for the most part, persons who have come into th« porsession of large fortunes, but who have very litde intellect—whose breeches pockets vastly outweigh their brains—but all tis will be equitably sectled in about the tnird generation It is absurd to locate this class at the Sou h, while the fact is notorious that there is hardly & more\potent oligarchy existing anywhere than in the manufacturing districts of New Kogland—a body which controls almost the souls and destinies of the operatives as com pletely as the cotton lords of Manchester. _ More Disustow ann Diviston AMONG THE OPERA Maxacers—We are to have week after next & flying visit from the associated Italian artists, who are about winding up their very success ful reason, and will sing here during Kaster week, en route to the Quaker City. For the coming season there are entirely new arrange- ments, which promise considerable entertaix- ment to the public. Ultman, the little Napo- Jeon of Irving place, has returned from Elba, and is anxious for his hundred days, er six nighte—the difference is so slight as to be ut terly immaterial. He expecta to replenish his military chest from Wall street, and has joined hands with bis old enemy, Max Maretzek, who is about to commence a campaign in Mexico. Ullman and Maretzek purpose to control ope ratic affairs in New York and Havana daring the next season. Signor Garibaldi Muzio, buw- ever, objects to this monopoly, and will ar range for a season at the Winter Garden, on gaging Tamborlik, the prince of tenors, and iiedorl, the quee’ of tzrto The Oo . sprss ‘mPorTant From St, DomtxG0—ANNEXATION or THE IsLanp BY Spatx.—Ooe of the first re- sults of our intestine troubles 4, as we aatici pated « few weeks since, a movement on the part of Spain to take possession ef St. Do mingo. She bas beea long intriguing to get the Dominicans to acknowlecge her proteo- orate; but failing in that, she hus been proosed: ing warily to accomplish her object by induo- ing ® large Spanish emigration to the island. Matters being ripe, and opposition from the United States no longer to be apprehended, the Spauich flag wus formally howted on the 16th inst. This bold step is to be supported by three Spanish war vessels, with large body of troops, the departure of which from Havana is already announced. France is said to be s consenting party to this scheme, as alo to other similar arrangements in regard to Hayti and Mexico. Thus, abroad as well as at home, we are realizing the humiliating frais of the celusions. which have borne a bypocriti- cal and unscrupulous party into power Soon otha a pelty goverament in either hemisphere that will not deride 224 openly defy us. Drrtomatic AprorntMenTs—Mistaxen Poiicy OF THE ADMINISTRATION.—The last batch of diplomatic appointments sent to the Senate is very curious and suggestive. The President and bis advisers have curefully passed over all the prominent journalists hereabouts, and bave given important places to lager bier ora tore like Cari Schurz, aud Washington report- ers and correspoadents, persons who have no part whatever in the real profession of jour- oulism. The de-iga of the administration seems to be to secure the support ot the New York press by providing for its subaltecas, aad several of thore so rewarded are Swiss merce- naries in the service of the lobby. They use the honorable protession of journalism as 4 cloak for their netarious practices. The administratioa makes « great bluoder ip these appointments. During the last qoarver of a century the New York ‘press nas steaitly advanced in intelligence, in enterprise aad’in power. Now the press is king. The press makes and unmakes parties, The press is the first estate in the realm, and from the leading metropolitan journals flow the ideas whereby the country is governed. A New York jour- nalist of the first rank ia quite ax powortul as a Uabinet Minister, Just at this moment the cowbined New York press is more important than the executive branch of the goverament. The country is undergoing a revolution, peaceful as yet; but bloodshed is only pre- vented by the free discussion of the questions of the day through the newspapers of the day. In the South the people at large have no voice in the governmeot, and in the North there is vast majority against the govern- ment. This majority can only be heard through the press. The republican party itselt is divided upon sundry important questions, and the journals range themselves upon one side or the other, according to their interests or convictions. The time when a newspaper followed blindly in the path of party has, we are glad to say, gone by. And if Mr. Liacoln imagines that by throwing a bone here and there to a reporter he can secure immunity from newspaper criticiam, he is very much mis- taken. Itis very evident that the forsils ar Wa-bington have not progressed an inch in twenty years. Thatis not the case with the press of New York. If the border States are kept in the Union, if a satinggc- tory settlement with the Gulf St shall be made, if peace, plenty and prosperity shall be restored to the country, the result will be due entirely to tho effurta of the combined press of New York and the large cities North and South. Wielding this power, and knowing its importance, is it likely that such men as Greeley, Bryant, Webb and Ray- mond will seek important offices? Not by any means, They have a right to expeot that office will be tendered to them. If journalirm is to be officially recognized, if the rervices of editors are to be appreciated in apy way, the posts of honor should be offered to the communading officers, and the camp followers should be satinfied with the broken victuals from the kitobea, The Presi- dent and his advisers, by pursuing an opposite course, will defeat the very object which they hope to gain. That is all. Wuen Rooves Fats. Our, Er Orrera—We pubhsh in another column a stateneat from Mr. Godard Bailey, late olerk in the [nterior Department at Washington, whose conuection with the abstracted Iudian trust bonds is fresh in the public memory. His statemeat is made in reply to that of ox Secretary Floyd, which «ppeared in the HeraLp of the 9th inst., ad- dressed to “the public,” and its main purpose “ppears to be to show that the abstraction of the bonds from the safe in the Interior Depart- went was undertaken with @ view to shield Mr Floyd from the consequences of his act in istuing acceptances to Messrs, Russell, Majors & Weddell Mr. Bailey is indignant at the ver- sion wh ch the ex-Secretary gives of that en- tire transaction, feeling that it reflects uojustly upon bimeelf, If all the members of Mr. Buchanan’s bean. titul Cabinet would only teil all they know of each other’s doings— Holt, Thompion and Cobb, as weil as Floyd-—we would gladly aifyed them any amount of space necessary for its publi cation, Tt would be a charming story, and would probably not be excelled by the perso. val memoirs of the various vang-leaders at Sing Sing, if these accomplished exes from society could be induced to become each his own hie torian. During Me. Holt’s administration Fow- ler was for six months or so perfecting a nice little piece of detalestion in the New York Vost Office. Mr. Cobb, on his sudden retire- ment, left the treasury in a state of inextrios. ble confusion, as Mr. Dix, his successor, made manifest. While Mr. Thompson was away down in North Carolina, locking utter the se- cession business, the Indian Trust Fund bonds were stolen from the Interior Deperimont, and in connection with this latter te: o. ection Mr Floyd and his acceptances turn + We repeat, that if the members of the late Cubinet foel dixpored to tell all they know -about each other during their four yoars’ sor- vioe—afler the manner of Floyd and Bailey— we shall be delighted to open our columas to them.

We think that the assertion of our cotemporary may safely be put in the same cate- gory with that of Mr Lincoln, when he de- clared that “nobody was hart!” Tee Cuevavier Wevs 4 Lrrruz Too Fasr.— Not having answered at once the polite request of our Wall street military cotemporary, to in- form him whut we would do at this crisis were weip the position of Presideat Lincola, it is assumed by our interrogator that we have no answer to make In this conclusion he was mistaken. Our answer is before him, and we sball probably have his views upon it this morning We think it will puzzle him to prove our peace propositions either insufficient or impra-ticable. We bave great faith in them. We believe that if the Crittenden constitutional amendments were submitted to the several States by a two-thirds vote of each honse of Congress, under the auspices of our republican administration, those amendments would be carried in three-fourths of the States. And they could be brought speedily to the judgment | of the peaple by «Congressional provision sub- mitting them to a State Convention in each State, and naming an early day, and the same day in each State, for the election of the Con- vention. We believe that in this way the border slave States would be secured to,the Union, and that they would soon bring back the seceded States. Meantime, asa preliminary peace measure, this Morri)l tariff should be repealed; and Congress should be catled together as soon as the policy of fair play to all the States will allow, to do this work, and to try the compromise we have suggested. The Union cannot be re stored by gunpowder; it cannot be restored by “masterly inactivity” on the part of the government at Wusbington. Som-thing mus: be done in the way of a compromise to secure the border tlave States or they will be gone Old Abe's administration myst act, or it will soon be compelled to give up one-half the loaf io order to save the other half. There liee the whole case in a nutebell. . American Yacatinc.—For a number of years there bas not been experienced such @ epirited feeling as has been manifested within the last month or two in regard to this delight ful pastime. Usually the mouth of May is fully upon us before the yachtsmen begin to thiok of bringing their boats out of winter quarters. This season, however, the idea is already entertained by a number of gentle men of availing themselves of the fresh breezes which prevail in early spriog, and starting out on a sort of preliminary cruise. All, however, depends upon mild weather. The esprit to which we allude is, in part, to be accounted for by the addition to the Club of several new boats—models of beauty and speed—whicb have excited the mingled curi- ority and expectatious of tbe entire yachting fraternity, Itis also due to that feeling of emulation which bas sprung up on the occa- sion of squadron .cruires, and grown out ef frequent visits to the United States of gentle- men connected with tbe English clubs. Yachting, too, is becoming more fashionable than formerly, and those who have the means of enjoying the luxury of a trim craft, with its concomitant enjoy ments, find in the sport a re creative and healthy compensation for their outlay which is afforded by no other pleasure that can be selected Much remains to be done, however, before the pastime can be brought to the high stand- ard at which it is maintained in Great Britain. Superior as are our yachts in poiot of speed and beauty, they yet lack that durability which characterizes the British craft, and enables their owners to travel, if necessary, from one end of the world to the otber, defying wiad and waves. Their owners, too, are hearty, sturdy specimens of gentlemen, who handle their beats as well as their captains, and “rough it” in all weathers that may attend them on their voyoges. In this country, on tbe contrary, there is leas of science and more indulgence in the mere enjoyment of yachting. They se+k rather the pleasure of « single day's sail in smooth water than the excitements of a month or two at sea. We trust this defect may be cured. There is ample room and opportunity for improve- ment, and there is no reason why, with a fleet that is unrivalled in the world for its magnifi eedt ‘models, a stretch of seaboard with har- bors unsurpassed, a temperate climate and moderate gales, American yachtamen shonlé not avail themselves of facilities to make them- selves famous. Turn out, gentlemen; pat on your coats of paint, polish your irons, store your lockers fora cruise, and give us an op- portunity to chronicle your movements a month or two earlier than ususl Wantep, aN Oversenn For Turrty-Four Farms —By reference to our advertising ool- umps, among the notices, and under the cay- tion of “ Advertisement Extraordioary,’*our readers will find something that may be to the advantage of some of them. It is aa adver- tizement for an overseer for thirty-four ad jacent farms, who will take charge of their general management and superintendence, and will have under bis.control any number of deputies and farm laborers. The owner is liberal as to salary, paying as high as $25,000 per annum, besides perquisites too nume rous to mention. Hw name is “Uncle Sem,” pot unknown to fame; and though bis money chest is emptied by robbers and swindlers, he has still valuable property left and good security for the payment of his debts, provided he can get the right kind of man to take hold of the business of govern- ment. As he says in his adverdsement, all is chaos and anarchy, and instead of the old wo- men in pantaloons who is now bis manager, he wants a man of pluck and nerve, who has a backbone and stiff kneer, aud who will not take flight upon every little panic. The pro- perty is going to destruction; the situation is very valuable.
