O t li Xt y Ah EXPERIENCE.
It iu related of John Quincy Adams, in
the late memoirs of his sou, Chas. Francis
Atjams, that while minister to Russia he
had the especial trial of being obliged to
lx* the distant witness of the war between
his own country and Great Britain. It is
almost grotesque to observe the mode in
bieh the news of what was doing here,
r even on tip* ocean, dribbled through all
Fort ? of channels to the diplomatic exile.
We read that ut a Tc Drum for some Rus
ts. "I met Mr. Willing andMr.
who told me the story of the
capture of the Brit ish frigate Guerrier«
by our frigate Constitution. 1 consider it
n joke invented by some Americans here."
The next doy, October 27,1812, it wascou
liriiuul.
This Utile fragment, from Mr. Adams's
diary may suggest to the men of this gén
érât ion mich an idea of the difference be
tween "now" and "then" in the position
of the United States ns a naval power as
possibly never, occurred to them. That
able and experienced American statesman
Mr. Ad:
an American frigate had captured a Brit
ish frigate thought it "a joke invented by
some Americana" in St. Beters burg. The
"joke" was repeated so often before the
*n England and America closed
> no "joke" at all but a great
"bore" in the end to the party of the oth
er part. The incredulity of Mr. A dama
win nat ural enough, in view of tho fact
I hat Britannia ruled the seas completely
at that time that any attempt, ship to
ship, to dispute her supremacy was look
ed upon to be as great a piece of presump
tion as the contest of David with Goliath
was regarded both by his own brethren
and the Philistines. Before the war was
t the Americans,if we recollect aright
had conquered in every action except two
and had demonstrated to the world that
this country had elements of anaval pow
er which would one day dispute the per
manent dominion of t he sea with G
Britain.
I low far the changes w h'cii tlieintrodi c•
I ion of steam andir
t reduced in the agencies of naval warfare
may effect the position among the navies
of the world achieved by tlielJnitcdBtates
iu the last war with* Ireat Britain remains
m. These combats have now be
* less dependent upon seamanship
manhood than upon machinery and
iron, and tiie manner in which they are
handled. Great Britain lias attained
great perfection in the various warlike
appliances
hereafter we shall have to rely more up.
•hanism than men. It is nota hap
py augury that wo have few ships in
navy at this time which will be able to
cope with those of England, and that in
the opinion of a prominent United States
naval officer, as expressed in a recent lee
tun*, none of tin* vessels that we have are
as well adapted to future contests on the
seas as the Confederate.steamer Men-imae
which played so conspicuous a part in the
late civil war at Hampton Roads.— Balt.

»INA COAST.
Tlio .simple natives «>T tluisu now lands
had not yet learned to distrust white
adventurers, and discovering no signs of
lio;;t : ' ty, they received them on landing
with jJie most generous hospitality. Their
fetirs being a n ayed, they returned the
visit, bringing with them all their arms
fu" of peace offering; and under those
fan* southern heavens, the sun was shin
ning upon what seemed of the most beau
tiful scenes yet enacted on the earth.
These Europeans, clothed in the gorgeous
cost nine of »Spain, and living in what must,
have seemed to tho Crude children of
t'ue forest floating palaces; surrounded by
by implements of power and beauty, they
looked to their strange visitors with awe
and believed them to be the children of
the Great »Spirit. But this fair illusion
wo3 soon to bo dispelled, and a great
* perpetrated, which could be atoned
for only by four centuries of blood-thirsty
vengeance. In the malst of this vision of
enchantment and festivity, and wh
betrayed Indians had been seduced below
tin* hatches were closed, all sails set, and
the expedition started for San Domingo.
The wails of the helpless captives were
heard i »vor the water, answered by screams
of terror and agony from wives, mothers,
parents, and children, on tlio shore !
From that hour, the terrible news went
quick]v through tlio forest, from wigwam
and village,until erelong, the maddening
tales of treachery had reached the moat
distant tribe in North A uicrica; thus sow
ing in the bosoms of the Red Men the
: of implacable hate that were to
• such baleful fruit in coining ages.

The lock-out has lasted tlirougli the
idanting. tending, aud far into liar vest
ing ; and yet, by tact and energy, the
farmers have succeeded in getting their
work done. Self-help and the free use
of machinery and some assistance from
liou-Union men have carried the day, and
the poor, deluded laborers are now out of
work, out of money, and almost out of
hope, with the failure of their rasli ex
periments. The executive committee of
Hie Agricultural Union, lo whose follies
the luborers owe their misery, confess
their defeat, and can now advise nothing
belter tlian the immediate emigration of
their victims to Canada or elsewhere.
The committee having spent all tne mon
ey raised for fighting the farmers, now
appeal to various trades-union lor con
tributions, and with these will try to as
slat the laborers to leave the eouotiy,
Such is the bitter fruit of a struggle urg
ed for five months, for no higher oblect
than to please a few demagogues who
have placed themselves at the head of
the Agiicultural Union with large salar
ies. The avowed designs of this Union
forced the farmer, in self protection, to
baud themselves into a counter parly—
the declared purpose of which was to
lock out all men belonging to the Union
of the other side. The farmers opposed
the laborers with precisely lheir own
weapons—to thejusticeof which pian the
laborers could not in fairness object. At
any moment the. laborers could havo ob
tained employment by quitting the
Union, which was impoverishing and
ruining them. Even now i hey have only
to comply with that, condition and work
is theirs at once.- Journal of Commerce.

LETTER FROM DU. E. WORRELL.
Mr. Editor: 1 tliauk you most sinccre
ly i'or the courtesy already shown me iu al
lowing the use of your columns to express
my sentiments, ns un individual, upon the
subject that 1 thought would heabeneliit
to the party as a paity, and with no desire
lo"rule the county"or even a hundred
individual. 1 a in too far over the sea of life
to cherish an ambition "to rule,"but am per
f« ctly willing to pluce 1lie ruling iu young
er and more able hands. I simply want to
see re-action of the party so ruled, that the
ruling shall advance its success and redowu
to its honor. I ask, sir, a luither indul
gence to present my impressions in regard
to another subject. 1 lenrn by the public
press that a tree train has been engaged, but
by private information I learn it has not
positively been chartered, and it such is the
«aise, or if it has been chartered, 1 hope upon
further consideration, it may be abandoned.
I have heard several gentlemen of thought
and juJgraent express themselves in oppo
sition to it, and I rosily tbi M,r ••
use could be made of live hundred dollars,
which 1 hear is to be the cost of the train.
Would it not be better to make arrange
ments with the Railroad to issue excursion
tickets at a lower rate of faro lo the Dele
gates, and those who wish to go to Dover,
and have the traiu start at an early hour
as to give the delegates from this county
t 5 *ne in Dover to consult helbre the meet
ing of the Convention. There is no dele
gate but what would be willing to meet
. ...'angemeut with his own menus,
".ud fho live huudred dollars could l>e ap
propriated to the pjy ug of the taxes of
'he laboring man, win , at this lime ol'pios
buie m tinaiicT.il limitera is little able to
meet the crushing taxitiou that Ins been
forced upon the community. What will
we gain by inducing a largo number ol
outside persons from Wilmington, but few
from the rural district?, will avail them
selves ot it to go to Dover, to make a show,
und take there a band of music to make
noise and confusion. Let the music ol that
Convention be made by its adoption ol u
platform that will sing its pure tones
through the press to every conn ly through
the State end eveiy State in the Union.
By this tree train arrangement, it will add
double the expmso of tho delegates without
eoimmnderate remuneration to those of ihr
rural districts, i learn that it is propstul
that each Delegate pay $5 UÜ to aid in the
payment ol the $500, which this tram ami
music w II cost,when the
not lie over half ol live dollars, except from
Wilmington. Independent of this livo dol
lars I ho contingent expenses must be nut,
which will be at least $1 50 or $2 00 more.
The times aie too hard to add unnecessary
expense to those acting lor the good ol the
whole- uot individual interests—who
acting not to advance his desire *'to rule"
but to elevate his party. 1 think, with many
others, that a free tra mi will gain nothing
for the parti/, but it will loose much to in
dividuals. Some ol us hope it will be changed
us there is ample tiino to do so. "Delegates"
complain ol the expenses of tho Conven
tion as u cause of opposition to two, but the
free train wiM tnrtku it equal to two.

the building, yet it was E. E. that was i n

When Mr. Cameron was named on the
