Written for the T'iBUss. C
We ought to consider our navy t
whVt it has done, and what it is capa- r
ble of doing. Wo look back with e
-pride, and study ~iith much satisfac- c
tion this branch of the public service.
We can imagine McDonoagh on the c
lakes, and hear him say "we have met i
the enemy and they are ours." We f
can see Farragut in the rigging of the c
Hartford entering Mobile bay, guidi s
ing the ship through a sea of fire. s
We ponder ever the deeds they have
done and the examples their lives 0
have given us. There is no history a
more valuable or more desirable to s
know, than the history of our own c
times. With that end in view we will c
look at a Yankee Man of War.. t
In the summer of '61 there arrived c
in Washington navy yard, war ship
Pensacola, now famous in the annals I
of the country and still in service. t
The Pensacola was built at the Pensa- ¬
cola navy yard in Florida, hence the C
name. The Norfolk navy yard was
set on fire and the shipping burnt or
destroyed. Major Shuttleworth, of t
the United States Marine corps, com
manded the Marine barracks at Pensa
cola, and cut out the Pensacola sloop I
of war and sent her on to Washington
to be completed. His action was
timely. The Confederates subse
quently burnt and destroyed the navy
yard, Maiine barracks and fortifica
tions. The loss of the Pensacola at t
that time would have been a severe t
one. Oar Government had few yes
sells within reach, no money in the I
treasury, and very little credit at home E
--l-one abroad. Such were the con
ditions staring President Lincoln's 1
administration in the early days of
the war. So many officers, some of a
the highest rank in the army and t
navy, abandoned their country to
fight against her, that great mistrust
ensued thereafter. The govornment
was feeling their cway slowly but sure- C
ly. It is a singular coincidence that f
not one sineIo eolisted maan, soldier I
or sailor, could be found to follow the t
pernicious courseoo their command- i
ers going over to the enemy. Every
enlisted man stood by the flag he i
swore to defend. I
Many of them were imprisoned, c
notably so: in Texas by General C
Twiggs and remained in prison-until t
exchanged. The selection of officers
for important commands, was one of 7
the greatest difficulties besetting the
administration. The Pensacoa cornm- C
pleted and equipped, was placed in c
command of Henry W. Morris a Post I
captain in the navy: It may be in t
place to state here that in '61 there v
was no higher rank---Post captain
was Farragut's rank when he captur
ed New Orleans. There might have v
been half a dozen captains in the same l
svuadron, each receiving same pay c
and allowance. But the senior officer a
took command by right of seniority r
in case of death next in' seniority, so
that in the battle of New Orioans 1
CaptaimB' Baley, Farragut and Mor
ris were of level rank. The order of.
the secretary appointing Captain I
Farragut in command of the gulf a
squadron, gave him authority and pre
edence over all other . Commodore
was a title of courtesy morw than any
thing else. There was no such grade
on the navy Register, .
There is on board every U. S. war
ship a complimeut of officers in pro
porties to the number or strength of
the ship's company. A vessel such as
the Brooklyn, Hartford, Richmond
I and Pensacola, are sister ships, or
1 ships of the same class and denomin
ation. There is no longer any Frig
ate or line of battle ships on sea. The
fight of the Monitor and Merrimac,
revolutionized the navies of the world.
The monitors, rams, iron clads and
torpedo boats are the fighting instru
ments of the future, until they in turn
are suoeeded by something more de
structive.
A sloop of war is a two decker, the
gun deck, and the berth deck. The
berth is forward, or the front part of
the ship from the engine. On the
desk the firemen, sailors, Marines and
patty Oflicers abhide The potty oSicers
are to the navy what non-commission
ed officers are to the army. The pet
ty officer s8jan important factor in a
ship at"sea. There are rfour uarter
masters, selected from able :erienc
ed seamen, either of whom are camp
ble of navigating a ship. -One of
those is on the look out~ ostantly,
spy glass in han~bd, report to:the
deck officer who iscnmmisned,every
objector neident his duty requires.
Nothing escapes their notiee, any
negleot or dereliotion of duty brings
repmanid or reduction to a lower
grade in rank. The Boah waiu's mate
ar qually iportat they keen foir
saerlto ntenv h f
fieer of the day in the army. The
first cutter is called for the executive
or first officer pext in rank to the cap
, tain, or such officers as may rank
with the executive, such as the chief
1 engineer, paymaster, medical officer
or officer commanding the Marines.
. The 2nd cutter is for officers sub:
a ordinate in rank, or who d5 not meps
t in the ward room. The launches are
e for the ships's company or mei going
o on shore in numbers or bringing
supplies on board. The dingy is a
3. small boat for general use and for !
e general purposes for officers and men
s alike, particularly so when a ship is
y at anchor near a town or city: The
o executive officer, will often use the
a dingy in preference to having the
.1 cutter unfastened and lowered, but
the gig is supreme---when the gig is
[ called away-or when the gig of:
p another ship is approaching the
s boatswain's mate and four or six
messenger boys stand each side the
gangway,when such officer is going
e or coming; this is equal to a present
s arms in the army. When the presi
r dent or members of the cabinet; sea-n
,f tors or members of congress; generals
- of the army or admiral of our own of
- foreigh country come on board, the
marine guard get in line. There are
n so many rolls of the drum, and present
s arms. The most popular and finest
. show of honor is in manning the
y yards. Every yard, mast and ships
- side, is covered with seamen, and
t three cheers given, a waving pf caps
e throughout. In the days' before
Commodore Foote, splicing the main
e brace, followed great occasions-
e such as maning the yards. Splicing
the main brace consisted in issuing a
s ration of "grog." Until 'G62 two rations
f of "grog" were issued daily in the
,fnavy, in the morning and at noon
d time, and in the army to fatigue or
o working parties. Gunners mates look
t after the ordnances, ordnance stores
t and gun gedr, under the supervision
of the gunner, who is a warrant of
,t ficer. The magazines are in the gun
r ners sharge, and yon . generally find
o the gunner a very smart man, who
- thoroughly understands his duties,
y and performs them beyond guestion
e ing. The sailmaker's mates attend to
mending sails and making tarpaulins
I, or such other duties as may be re
.1 quired. The carpenter's mates do all
1 the wood work, look to the pumps,
s and see if any water of leak is 'round.
f The master at arms, oftener called
a "Jimnny legs," keeps the lower decks
- clear and clean; searches all persons
s coming on board ship, suspected or
t likely to smuggle liquor, and places
z the prison on board ship. In this
work he is assisted by a ship's corpor
all offenders in irons orin the brig. ie.
a!l, also a sailor. Should a case arise
where the master-at-arms is defied, or
his authority resisted, the marines
come to his assistance. The marines
are a distinct and separate body of
men, from the army and navy and
may well be designated police at sea.
Few commanders like to go to sea
without the marine guardZ They
guard the magazine, officers quarters,
prisoners, and to prevent smoking, or
any lights forbidden or prohibited.
In case of fire they guard the boats.
No boat can be taken or apjperched
without an order from the e~euutivo
officer: In case of war, they mnaw the'
heavy guns, and act as sharpshootcrs.
The headquarters are at Washington,
convenient to the navy-yard. The
entire force numbering about 2,000
men. The ranking officers and staff
officers reside in Washington. They
have barracks at Brooklyn, New York,
Boston, Portsmouth, Philadelphia
and Mare Island,. California. The
shore duty of the marines con
sist in grading the navy-yards and
government property.. They receive
same pay as soldiers in the army, and
are under the authority of the navy
department. They are subject to be
sent slnywhere, at atny moment to
serve on land or on sea. A battalion
of marines, supported _Griffin's bat
tery at the first "Bull Run." and were
good targets for the enemy, on ac
count of the white cross belts, now
entirely out of use. The firemen And
coal passers are under control of the
engineers, class as chief, 1st assistant,
2d assistant, etc. Assistant engineers
are not- comreissioneo:.e ers. The
paymaster iasues rationsand clothing
has a clerk, and assistant pays officers
and men, and of spplies inalea open
purchase, subject the ptain or
superior officer. The kedical officer
and distant are gentlemen and in
every ease commissioned. There are
no =a g assistant surgeons, : or con
tract doctors, as in the army.
Masters, mates,o cppeter, gunner,
4a
see to it, that all under their control
does the same. The most active,
diligent and perhaps the ablest officer
on a war ship is the executive officer.
Nothing can go wrong without his
knowing it, even to the minutest de
tail He is nest to the commander,
the most responsible. He holds the -
same relation to his chief, a chief of
staff does in the army to the geheral.
In baittle he displays all those at
tainments for which our naval com
imanders are conspicuous, IHe has
the crew well instructed to do every
thing that onghlat to be done--in a
given case-and do it well. At the
I sound of the gong or drum, every
man is at his station, and in his place.
There is no appar.nt hlrry or ex
citoment and but few words spoken.
iA motion of the hand do:Ž3 all the
I talking. There is no address or stir
-ring appeal m:vao as is sominties in
the army. It is an understood thing
Ithat every man will do his leoel best,
more he cannot do.

The Sweet-Grass Murder.
Ben. Short arrived in the city last
evening from the Sweet- Grass bills,
bringing report of one of the most
horrible murders in the criminal an
nals of Montana, which took place at
the camp on the 10th. From what
we can learn, F. T. McPartlan and a
man nmamed Moley became. involved
in a dispute in regard to Rhode Is
Sland-its size, boundaries, or some
thing of the kind. Both hailed from
that state and stoutly held to differ
ent views on the subject under dis
cussion. Finally McPartlan drew an
outline of the little state, and when
Moley questioned its accuracy, the
former commenced the assault with
a knife, stabbing his victim in. the
neck, arms, breast and abdomen.
The stab in the neck severed the jug
ular vein, and was sufficient in itself
to have caused death. Thy wound in
the abdomen was frightfal to look at,
the bowels protruding. Short says it
! was the most horrible sight he ever
wi' t:nessed.
There were a nunber of witnesses
to the assault, and the general opinion
seems to be that the killing was un
provoked. McPartlan was promptly
arrested and put in irons, and a mes
songer sent to Ft. Benton to notify
the authorities. Deputy Sheriff
Coatsworth went out this morning to
bring the prisoner in, An inquest
was held over the reimains of Moley
and a verdict rendered in accordance
with the facts. A few level-headed
men in the camp saved fMcPartlan
from being lynched.
McPartlan was well known here.
He was one of the first miners in the
Maiden district and was one of the
former owners of the Collarmine, and
has herotof.re borne a fair reputation
Of. Molev but little could be aseertain=
ed. He was an oIdbunf whacker, hav
ing worked for Ben. Short and others.
On the return of: the deputy sheriff
we will be enabled to give further par
ticulars. The prisoner, withoutdoubt
will be turned over to the United
States authorities,, the crime having
been eommitted on the Indian re
servation.-River PreSs,.

While the country is shocked by the
news of the bloody strikes in diffetent

n w med
T n's of the week in
conge.rave not been so interesting
in character as usual, or perhaps i
should say that events in onigression
al committee rooms have been more
interesting than those in the house
and senate. There was a little sensa
.tion in the house judiciary committee
room while the anti-polygamy bill
was being considered. Judge Baskiin
who is representing the Gentiles of
Utah in advocacy of the bill, is a re
markably impressive old gentleman..
It was through his efforts that the
Mountain Meadow massacre of
of settlers was traced to its perpetra
tors twenty years after its occurrence,
and his experiences in Utah have
teen varied and thrilling. He read to
the committee the affidavit of a young:
English woman who stated that she.
had been converted to Mortnonism by
her lover, who came to this cosntry.
and ieturned to England as a, .br
mon missionary finally bringine- her-'
back here with him. After entering;
the Mormon church and marrying ac-
cording to the Mormon mode she dis
covered that her marriage was a po,
lygamous one. Upon this discovery.
she made .revelatins and gave de-.
scriptions that weorrrevolting in chap-
acter. At the conclusion of his rs.
marks, the judge pointed to a hand-
some young wduaii" sitting: by the.
side of Miss Kate Field, aid anapune
ed that she was the victim to: whom:
he alluded and that she was ready to,
undergo cross-examination and verify
the statements.
SAfter ten day's discussion the son
F ate passed the post office appropraI
> tion bill, together with the amend
Swment appropriation e800,(01 for subý
i sidies to American v -sesl fcer l -
3 itig the mails. Senator Pltmbi of.
I Kans., referring to the opposition of
1 the Southern senators to the ubsidyt
amendment, took occasion to remark
that the South was behind the times.
It responded, he said, to the wishes
and principles inculcated by Calhoon,.
enforced by Taucey and representedi
today by Jefferson.Davis,.
Senator Morgan of Alabama- hero
Sinterposed tor.omment upon~ the um
fairness of this class of argument. HEf
