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.

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.

Tho BriLisli farmers Lave scored an easy victory over the Agricultural Union. 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. The Widow of Stonewall Jack son. —In a letter to the Augusta (Ga ) Cosntitutionahfit, from the Warm Springs, North Carolina, the following paragraph occurs : "Among the most notable visi tors 1 will first mention, with a reveren tial bow, the widow of the immortal Stonewall Jackson, who reached here, in company with her little daughter, eleven years old. a few days siuce. Modest and unaffected in her mauners, of a sweet, intelligent, and animated face, she moves through life as though share in the glory of her husband's name.

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.
