To Tax Eprror or TH HERALD:— In your paper of the 9th iust, uppeared a commant- catton under the head of “Engitsh as well as Yankee Privateers,” in which the writer, Mr. Rdward Lee, 99 William street, seems intent on scarmy the uni- versal Yankee nation out of the idea of going to war with Great Britam. He has carefully read all your @recles on the Alabama question, he says, and ‘wishes to be informed through the columns of the HIBRALD “What sort of privateers the Kuglish could make out of those magnificent, powerful and swift ‘galling iron steamships of the Cunard, Inman, National, Anchor lines, &¢., of British packeis.” 7 ‘will state that tuese vessels are unfit lor war pur- poses, for tho reagon Ingt thoy are ten times as long thoy are wide, and if thoy carried guns $n ther upper decks they would roli them ail overboard in the first storm they might experience filter leaving the Britisd.

Besides, they are propeicd by screws, and would be unable to man@uvre in such @ manner as to avoid the broadside shots Of @ sborrer aud wider side- wheel ship like those of American buttd, whose wheels and breadth of beam keep them upright a3 adish and enabie them to turn tn less space, and thus enable them to oulmanwavre We long, awk- ‘ward aud roliimg propellers, Moreover, veltug bullt of tron is another disquall- floation; for thelr sides could ve more easily pierced by the shots of the terrible guns which woula be used against them; and then what sort of plugs Would stop ine mauy-cornered ana ragged holes made in tho tron side? If those stips are depended on by Mr. Lee, he is Jeaving on @ broken reed. To offset all those pack- ets, even if they could be used in war, we have many sitewheel steamships that could be very quickiy clothed Wil Lhe panoply of war; for in- stance, those running to the Istimus, in the Calilor- nia Hine, and many other Coastwise steamstups, on tue Atlantic; while on the Paclitc there are the great packels ruaning between San Francisco and Japan, ‘whieh were built expressly to be Warned to war pur poses when the exigency might arise; and there are reer otner fine steamers on the Pacific that would rribly cripple tue commerce of Mr. Bull, in case of & War. En gushmen read our partisan newspapers and come to Lhe conclusion that we have neither a navy hor a commercial marine worth @ dollar; but expe- rience wiil teach them a diferent iesson if war does tase place, ‘he War Of lolz siuuld be a warning to them. When. that war was declared by the United against Great Britain a member of tae House of Lords ridiculed the idea of our navy being avie to ea demonstration, and said:—“What have we 0 jeur irom a lew Yankee cockvoats, with bits of » sriped bunting at thelr mastheads?

To 1B Eprror oF THE HERALD:-— The telegrams from England have startled the nation over its entire breadth, trom ocean to ocean, from quiet slumvers. We Americans appear to possess a stereotype phase ta our mode of looking at international affairs, When the old Revolution ended we supposed, or took it for granted, that peace and bilss would evermore be our Jot, and the question of national defence was not thought of. The war with the Barbary Powers brought us before the world in an unexpected manner; but after its close and-the grand victories aud achievements of our little navy, under the old commanders, brought fame to us as a people, the navy was. suifered to go mto neglect. Then came the war of 1812, -with England, which brought sim#ar results, and the seamen and the ships and the oMeers were laid away and suffered to rot. The etvil war among ourselves aroused us to new exertions, and when ships and officers were required the country was struck aghast to find it had no navy. ‘The rivers and the lakes and the ocean were all scraped and scoured to bring into the service strong arms and brave hearts for the common safety, But no sooner was peace pro- Claimed than the navy was forgotten, sold, broken up, and the welfare of the country was hazarded, or left to Fepose on the debris of a ruinous and ae. ‘Structive war. {t13 well for the country, at once, to count up its possessions in naval force, and in- vestigate wisely the means tt nas for events to come, There seems to be @ strange fatality about this arm of the country’s defence, or rather about the way tt is disregarded, One would suppose that we were deliberately discarding the teachings of experience, : Yur relations with Spatn are surely not of an agreeable character to contemplate, ‘There 13 noua naval officer of any expericace who would no have sala, if his opinion had been asked, tnat to protect vur flag gad our natlonal dignity from dis- honor by a petty State tt 1s necessary to maintain @ large and well appointed fleet in the West Indies and Caban waters. The very presence of force is a protection, Spain knows well enough thatif we fail to police our own commerce and our own ships she can and will do tt for us. As Lo the matter of the Alabama claims, wise men all over the country have vecn all along that the ctitical moment had not yet come. Correspondents frum Wasmragion tell us that our “President has put his foot down hard and firm,” It may reasonably be supposed that England has never raised her 100 an inch in this matter, Any one who has careiully traced the negotiations from the beginning may easily sce this, Nov need we befool ourselves vy supposing that the position assumed by her minis- ters 18 one of mere bluster. Che English govern:nent Know very weil that tose miitons of money which we demanded aretobe wrung out of the pockets of her peopie. Ail England knows it. The English overnment could not plant itself on a More popular asia, gud every manand woman in England, from the prince to the peasant, will be, and are, as united in their resolve not to pay that demand as it will be sure to come out of their purses ti they pay it, ‘Ihe atthude of Engiand 19 in reality to- day precisely what t% was in the be- ginning, Sno has fully and frankly, and, ‘we anust, sty, once fowall, deflantiy, offered us the alternative «lo withdraw our claims or go to war, For the first ume in the controversy Engiand bas offered to us and proffered tous the ugly thing— war, and she meansit, All England mean it. They had’ as weil lose Cauada and commerce as millions of gold pounds, and they know tt, e dignity of this nation now stands exposed as it never was before, God grant that no war may come out of it; but every patriot must equally pray that no dishonor inay coiue ont of It as well. It is now pertinent to ask, if our persistent and suickial efforts to cut down and destroy our nav have not been one timense temptation to ‘Bagiant to bring avoat this crisis, She knows our cry of economy at the navy. She knows we have no ships building—our navy yard material ts going into swift She knows that weare not rebutiding or preserving what we have. It 1s not long since 1t Was proposed in Vongress to'scll out the renmants which we have, and dutld merchant steamers with {he proceeds—a proposition equivalent to disband ing our nuval power altogether, As the linnALD sald not long ago—‘ont down the navy, even If we cut the throat of the nation by so doing’'—that ts indeed strange statesmanship, It is even now proposed to eliminate three entire grades from the navy—to save, at best, a few hundred dol- Jars. A navy without commanders would Indeed be a singuiar sight! It is striking, with one fatal biow, at all carly traditon, not only of our own country, but of ail others. Aad dy we hot know that the very heart, tre soul, the life of an army or anavy fs hai made up of Its old hergic traditions? Siatesmen read history to little etect Uf they do not kirow that. But we still hope that thera 1s sense as well ag patriotism leit in tuis republic, Buti does not exist in the Insane eforts to destroy our gallant navy or to depreciate it, or to build up the army at its expense, ‘Ihe welfare of tins country’s foreign relations depends, next to the stateamanship of the Foreign Office, on tho maintenance of a solid, ef ficient, sound navy, both as regards ships and officers, We know, too, that the gallant officers of tha American navy--the cumrades of Foote avd of Far- Tagut—and 1@ oflciai descendants of the old com. modorea of our carly Wars, Who brought character and fame on tne whole taud, felt too keenly tre negiect of them and their service, We need no words of boasting vow for out royal and loyal littic navy.

Some owners, it ds true, were prejudiced against so doing, aud their Vessels rotted at the dock or were descrove.l at sea. ‘Those who were wise, however, solicited the ald of their snglish frieads, and, under the benignant free~ dom ot England's “Merchanta’ Shipping act,” sold them their vesseis, taking back enher a perpetual charter or a mortgage equal to the value of the ves- sel. Applicauon for a temporary register was made, ana one obtained at the British Cousulate at the port where the chasge was made, and six nionths allowed before the stup,need go to a British port to exchange her tenporary for a permanent register. ‘Thus were American’ lnterests covered bv the ample and comiorung power of the meteor flag, while the British people or nation did nou receive one peauy’s advantage, except the coat ofa register at the British Consulate and at the port where the nal papers were made, And here, parentheticaliy, jeu me say that these craft Were not robbed at the consuls’ ofices, as iney would have been at yosr own Custom Houses, As a proof that } write of what I Know, let me add that it so happened that many of my shlpowning iieuus wained ny intervention im this maaner, and 1 suel- tered under my country’s flag as many as tifteen or twenty vessels, wilnout one cent of remuneration to myself, Ali these vessels continued 1 their usual trade, actuaily owned by Americaus, the profits, if any, inuring to tue benefit of americans, and the losses, HM any, being met by Americans—American in every particular, just agit there had been no transter made, even the captams, i Americans beiore, still remaimuaig—the sole difference belo; the color and yatue of the fag.

Yet, if the iasye must ve had, my side can be bat on that whercia I was born, and whien 1 believe to be the righteous one. Ip conclusion, | would call upon your countrymen (no, I cannot say that, for I believe that your stail 1s drawa from that kingdom woich you damnify so strongly) to consuler Wat may be the feeling in Europe at the insuittng braggadocio of the government of the United States, Asa sarople Of that which may assume wide proportions I reler them to av extract irom the Cologne Gazette as follows :-—"‘A mixed commission is to vecide on the American clams, * * ** which are so cuor- mous that they are too ridiculous for sertousiess and too serious for ridicule, Shuamelessness 18, ua- fortunately, a leading characteristic of the Yankees, aud public opinion in Europe will do welt to sup- rt England with energy in this question.

My advice to these great warriors 1s, fe Wo work; pay back the thousanite of doilars taken. rom the bard-Working servant girls apd the gene- rous, hot-neaded, ignorant, working Irishinen, be- Jore you oiler so flerceiy the bodies of 50,000 men as targets, None ol us can forget who were the peopie who raised and sustatued the dratt riots or Wat caused those riots. “W. HL,” who, though an Amerivan (God help mim, he must be in his dotage), wants toofer his aged arm, and, in trae Corsican vendetta wtyle, revenge the wrongs done to his lorefachers by men who lived three genera- tons ago. J thins tne notsy bluster of the ignorant or foolish on botn sides will never cause war or control the issue ol eveuts. ‘Thanx God, there are ENOUGH WISE AND GREAT MEN on both sides to settle this untortunate difference Without the aid 0. the Irish lmimigrants or ine dot: Ang ont patriotic hero. ‘To tue strangers woo have been well received by the American peopie I would onty say, 101s very bad manners to interere with Your host's household aifuirs until you are asked, more especially whea, you may remember, aot many Years ayo these samw people were nov quite so ready to help when called upon; and to the patriotic vid gentiemaa [ would only Say, please ‘rest easy in your easy chair; you ouly injure your nerves or run great risk of being carried off by an apoplepuc fit if you allow your angry and vindictive passions to rule.

A. American Ignorance Versus English Intelti- gence. New Brunswick, N, J., Feb. 6, 1872 To Tae Epiror or Tux HeraLp:— I presume that the majority of Americans know at this time what England meant by the World’s Fair that she delivered in 1861; and the majority of Americans know that England always has been and is atthe present time a very proud nation. And Americans ou2znt to Know tu the year of our Lord 1872 that intelligence irequeatly makes some people proud, and that ignorance makes others equally proud and @ litte prouder; and if the American People are not prouder of the latter accomplish- meut than any ofler nation that aims to be inde- pendent, then 1 am no judge ol tue sigus of ibe mes, ‘une New England peopte hve made a great to-do Jor @ number of years past about seheol houses and education, and have spent large sums of money to promove education, that they mignt lead, as tuey 00, in good habits, the people of other sections, who are not so fortnnately situated as themselves am point of priylicges; and, witn the educational facilities that are now within reach of ali who teet disposed to partaxe of them, without price, I think that the American pevopie had better lose the small sum they claim trom Engiand for damages done to our commerce while engaged _ a rupvure with the Soutnern States, than to sacrifice aay more lives for the ostensibie parpuse of collecting u few paltry dollars. My stay in Brunswick is limited to three or four days, aud I hope,that 1 may receive in the meanume ocular demonstration chat there 1s one man in America Who respects the powers that ve. Respectiuily, R. 1VES, ‘ANOTHER LUCRETIA BORGIA. Re She Is Accused of Poisoning Two Husbands ‘and the Wile of Her First Husband, {From the Louisville (Ky.) Ledger, Feb. 8.) Some twelve years ayo tnere came to Loutsville, from Germany, # very attractive-looking German girl, of about eigiteea years of age, named, if our Tecollecuon serves us right, Cathurine Melchior, She was what is termed a bdeauttiul woman, dnely developed, witn fauitless form aud graceful mo- ton—a Worman Wuo would attract attedtion wher- ever seen, She remained at Loulsville but a short UUme, when she left the city for the town of Rock- port, on the Indiana vide of the river, about fity miles apove Louisville, where she soon obtaiued service in the family Of an old and wealthy farmer awed Sharp, residing some two and a hall or three mutles above the town. Mr. Sharp and his aged wife lived alone together, their children having ail marries and removed from, the vld homestead. ‘The old people were very highly esicemed, and were well Known Lo neary all the citizens of the county. Catharine found her new howe a Very pleasant one, and was apparently weil contented and very happy. About two years’ aiter she had entered tne Suarp family Mrs, Sharp was taken ul, She was contined to ner ved for some time; ont, growing better; her speedy recovery was fondly hoped ior by her husband and children, Very sua however, sie was taken worse, suffering intense pats in the abdomen for some hours, When she died. The symptoms of her fatal ilidess, 1b was rememoered a few. years later, w deciie(ly those of poison from arsenic or strycn- nine. Mr. Sharp and his children mourned her death, but no one seemed to feel it more deeply thau Catharine, and this was remarked throughout the neighborhood; and so Mr, sharp prevailed upon her, which was not dimMcult, to remain in his house as his housekeeper and general superintendent of ine domesuc departinent ot his extensive farm, pesos her @ handsome salary for her services, me wore On, as time 1s always doing, and the wounds that grief at the demise ot his wife had inflicted upon the heart of Mr. Sharp were healed. And then it betnought nim that, with Cathatine as lus wite, his declining years would be full of com- tort, and so he patd court to the young matden. She’ was averse tothe union proposed by the old man; it would be too much like uniting June with December, she argued, as she looced up languish- ingly from. her lustrous, black eyes and beautiful lace into the countenance of ner aged lover. Those giances, a8 she well knew, were not to be with- stood; and so the okt man’s passion was only tn- famed and his sult pressed with more earnest de- termination. Catharine took a few days to deliberate over the matter, and then she returned answer to ter perse- vering but gray-haired lover that she would marry im on condition that he would. deed her hts farm, valued at about twenty-five thousand dollars, and certain over moneys and property, This the old man do, and in due course of time all the nece! ry for the transier were legally drawn ana ive in Catharine's hands, Then the wedding K place, and lor a couple of years or more the in- favmaicd old man bathed im the sunshive of her auiles, and received her toying with all the delight Org child. But suddenly he died. His disease was @ langurshing one at first, and indicated toward its fatal termination @ speedy recovery. But those dreadful pains that haa been noticed in the flines: of his wife immediately prior to her demise super- vened, and as suddenly and painiuliy as his aged wie nad died so died he, His children and many of his netzhbors believed that both he and his frat wite had died from potson at the hanas of Catha- rine, but they dared only breathe their suspicions suppressed in whispers, lest the law should take hold of them in the shape of an action for slander. Cothariue was rich, Sve had bus just reached tne prime of womanhood, was the most beautiful wo- manin the couuty, and itis noi at all surprising that the days of her widowhood weré made bearable by the attentions she received from bot men and women, Indue course of time her grief was so much assuaged that she recetved as a suitor for her hand @ Wel:-known and popular merchant, named Batchelor, who did business, we believe, at Rock- port and kvai ville, Mr. Batchelor was supposed to be wealthy, and so his sult for Catharine's beart and hand prospered, and they were mariied. ‘the course of their married tife ran smoothly enough, Indeed, their apparent happiness became subject of remark. Both were apparently deeply devoted to each other, But after a year or two of bliss Mr, Patchelor was atiacked by a languishing iness, Whica increased and diminished in severiiy by turns, until the dis- ease, Whicd puzzied the skili of nok, ysicians, took a favoravie turn, and sirong hopes were entertained for its ly and favorable termination. It was a noticeable feavure of Mr. Batcnelor's disease, as It bad been of tho disease of which Mr. Baarp and his first wife had died, that i was seated in the “stomach, and no medicmes seemed to reach or con- twollt. His partial recovery was therelore unac- countable to the physician on any other hypothesis than the great pliysical recuperative powers of Mr. THE INTERNATIONAL AX) GAMBETTA.

To Tae Eprror OF Tae HERALD: — The erroneous statement which appeared in this day’s HERALD, having reference to the soldiers of Hayu, and ascriving vo a mere farce their usual mode of fighting when at war with their enemies, Is too obvious to find credence with any sound and impreyndiced mind; but those whose Lil-feelings to- ward their fellow men prevent their acknowledg- ing in any case the true merit of the latter, not even atter seeing, with their own eyes, enough to disabuse thetr minds on the false impressions they May have injadiciously entertained against those whose worth and valor cannot be denied tiem, General Preston, one of the .military glories of Haytl, whose sensitive feelings must have been sorely wounded by the malignant reflections cast upon his brave comrades in urms, has already given suMicent proots to the world wha Hayuen soldiers could do wien under hls general- ship, Jn fact it cannot be denied that they are equal to any emergency, and, indeed, to ary soldiers in the world, aud may be compared to those of Lodi, Jena, Eylau and Wagram, under Napoleon the Gre Abundant prools of thelr achievements are stil iresh, both in filstory and memory, to attest ‘What they are capable of when at war with a foreign Joe, Yes, the very negroes ailnded to, General Preston, a3 every one knows, fs a dashing and gallant soldier; he has on more than-one ocea- sion led tle brave division under bis command to vicvory; and there is not the least doubt that if Haytt were to embark ina foreign war to-morrow, he js the man who wonld be calied upon to assume command of the whole army, as under sucu a brave military tactician the u boii old and young, Would do prodigies and reap the laurels of the day. Althougo suci geuerals as General Preston are few In Hayu, still, with regava to sol tiers in rank and an! file, no culogium of their real valor can convey Q just idea of thelr innate ardor for hard fighting.
