Just before the memorable victory of Fannaovr at Mobile in August, 1864, two power- ful iron-clade, the Winuebago and Chickasaw, hod been built near St, Louis, and were ordered down the Mississippi to join Fanraaur's fleet in the Gulf, The question of sending them from Ponten’s fleet, through which they were com: pelled top: y of the Depart. ment, referred to Admiral Porter, who reported that their builders knew nothing about the re- quirements of sea-going vessels; (hat they would break to picees in the least swell; that they were very valuable, and that they were unfit to cope with anything carrying heavy guns, or to engage fortifications, Nevertheless, the iron-clads were sent to Mobile Bay, which they reached without necident. They took part in the sea fight of Au- gust 6, and one of the most powerful iron-clads ever built by the Confederates, the Tennessee, was mainly whipped by the Chichasaw, which obtained a position under the stern of the rebel rem and poured in such a storm of eleven-inch solid steel and cast-iron shot that the flag was finally hauled down to her. The Winnebago in this action fired fiftytour charges from her cleven-ineh guns, and was struck nineteen times, Capt. Stevexa, her commander, said ia his re- port of the action, ‘Ihave no casualties to re- port.” As to whether Penren’s report to Wash Ingtonin regard to theve iron-clads was instigated by jealousy of Fannsovr, or dictated by his igno- tance or incompetancy, people will probably differ as they variously cousider the character istics of knare or fol to predominate in his men- tal organization. 4, was, by contrtes —— The managrers of the Soldiers’ Orphang’ Fair, at the corner of Brondway and Thirty-fifth stree sent to A.

Ifa statue is also wanted in the Central Park, very well; but let this one be in Twoed Plaza. cai aha That noble and great hearted man, Grnnit Sairm, has published a letter to Mr. Cuvrcum, the Representative of bis Congressional District, against President Grant's plan of annexing San Domingo. Mr. Surrn contends that San Domingo is « natural home of the black rico, and that “to annex the island to our nation—in other words, to annex this portion of the tropics to the temper ate rone 1 be a robbery great in itself, and leading toa far greater, Tsay ‘the island,’ he says, thet the President goes for an vexing the whole of it.” Mr. Surrw looks for. ward to the building np inthe torrid zone of black nations, “if the temperate zone should deal with it im that fraternal apirit which shonld glow in every human race toward every other human race.” He contends strongly against President Gnaxt’s idea that the aunexation of San Domingo is ‘the means, as the President believes, the only sufficient means, to pay our great national debt.” But although he thus op- poses the President's favorite measure, Mr. Swirm none the less earnestly desires that the United States should do what is possible “to relieve Cuba of her intruders, of her cruel Spanish tyrants.” But is it Wkely that the President will be governed by this sound and respectful advice $ We fear not; he is wedded to his idols, Preiss shuttle The Cardiff giant is really a wonder, One day the mail brings intelligence of its being seized for debt in the western part ot Now Yor and the next day we hear of it on exhibition in New England, The editor of the Northampton Free Presa has been to sce it, and is profoundly impressed, ‘ We believe it to be just what it purports to be,” be says, “ the fossilized remains of w gigantic human being, into whose nostrils God ouco breathed w living seul.

They have been planted # long time, and the public are beginning to suffer for want of Cardiff giants, i ; The new mining territory which is devel- oping in the extreme West promises to add enors mously to the national wealth within a very fow years, In addition to new discoveries of gold and silver, a large yield of lead, copper, tin, and other metals from new sources may be expected, The San Francisco Commercial Herald says that, as much as it may surprise those who ure not posted in these matters, the product of our bul- lion the current year promises to equal, if it docs not exceed, that of any former yeur liane While over two thousand of the Crispin fraternity in this city are on astrike for living wages, We ure informed Ly the Boston Advertiser that (he manufreture of boots aud shoes in New England doring the past year has been quite mo- cessful, and that the business for 1870 will prove 8 renrnerative to the manufacturer and ws protitable to the workmen as for any year since the close of the war The demand for boots has veen unusually heavy, as the negro population of theSouth, which formerly wore coarse brogans, are fast sul tituting boots « nd the fancy sorts of shoes for that deseription of goods which reminds them of their bondage, Collections e been promptly made, and added comforts and increased luxuries in thousands of homes in the shoe towns furnish evidence that the profits arising from a successful prosecution of this great industry are ared by the workmen as well os the manufac turer, In view of this gratifying state of affiirs in the Eastern States, it would scom that if there Was not something radically wrong in the relation between employers and tho workinen here, there would be no occasion for the trovble now existe ing among those dependent upon the shoe trad for support. Simply remaining idle will not rectify the evil; the primary cwuse of the diffi culty should be definitely ascertained, and then Measures could be intellig effectual remedy, — Closely following the announcement that Bishop | orren hus decided to forbid the elabo rate ceremonial at St. Alban’s, comes a report that Dr, Ewen, of Christ Chureh, has returned frem Europe considerably shaken in bis belict that “ Protestantism isa failure,” and that, in con- sequence, the his church will henee- forth conform more closely to those customary in Episcopal places of worship.

In twe com al © districts, the Tribune saya, there is a difference of only fifty souls between the number of the June census and that reported by the census of December; and this small difference shows a diminution, and not an in- crease of the population, At the same time we learn from the Herald that there has been som discussion with the officers of tho Troasury in Washington in reference to the payment of the assistant marshals engaged in taking this illegal census, The Fifth Auditor contended that there was no provision of law for such edditional work; but the Jfrald tells us that Anally a law of 1852 was found making provision for just such emergency, The truth is, there is a law pro- viding that when the census has becu improperly taken, the Secretary of tha Interior may order it to be taken over again, In the prosent instance, however, there is no pretence that it has been im- properly taken, and the order to take it over again was issued by the Presideat. To take o census improperly is to take it contrary to law; and nobody bas ever imagined that the work done by Gen, Smanre last summer failed iu any respect to comply with the statute, Gen. Grant's order directing « new census is an act of pure tion; and when the men eng: they will really be pid in the phra to mak rp agod in it are paid, jolation of law, however y of the statute may be strotehed it cover their act, Last Monday, the 26th, was observed as a holiday in this city, Chri son the preceding Sunday, Everything in the natar of religious observance of the anniversa appropriately held on Sunday, 89 that Monday was entirely a secular holiday, Nearly all places of business were closed, aud the groat masses of working men and women enjoyed a day of un customed leisure. It will naturally be suppose: that the publie libraries and reading-rooms of the city and its suburbs were thronged through. out the day with crowds of ardent seekers after knowledge, to whom the unwonted freedom of the day afforded 9 rare and priceless opportunity. So they would have been, no doubt, bat for the strange and short-sighted policy pursued by the managers of most of them this as on prey A person who visited the rooms of Young Men's Christian As sociation and the Mercantile Library Associ- ation of Brooklyn, the Cooper Institute, the Astor Library, the Mereantile Library, and the Young Men's Christian Association of this ci reports that, with one honorable exception, the doors of all these inst tutions were closed; the xception being the Young Me tion of this city, which was open in ali its departinents just as usnal, At some of the placos which we have named young men approached, tried the door, looked wistfully up at the windows, and sorrowfully turned away, We learn that itis the intention of the managers to pursue the same course on Monday next, We put it to tbe re- ligious professors of the Christian Association in Brooklyn, to the philanthropists of the Cooper Institute, to the young officers of the Mercantile Libraries, whether they can justify such course to their consciences, In all probability mo than one young man will take his first tosson in vice on Monday, who might be saved but for the irrational aud unchristicn policy of closing their doors on public holidays. a 5 SSE Tt is reported in the World that the atten. tion of the House of Representatives will at an early day be called to the custom of requirir the President to forward his messages and com munications to Congress by his private secretary At present the private secretary, Mr. Dovaias, never appears in either House of Congress, and messages snd communications from the Pre dent are brought there by Gen.
