COMMODORE STEWART THE AME RICAN NAVT. Bf the doath of Commodore Stewart the nation loses one of the lust surviving heroes whose services are well nigh co-extensive with the life of the Republic. During his first cruise in the American navy, which dates tack to the lost century, he acted as the ex ecutive offioer of a frigate commanded by Commodore John Barry, who enjoyed the proud distinction of taking the first vessel of war ever captured in battle by an American cruiser. This engagement occurred in April, 1777, less than a year after the declaration of Independence, and it was one of a series of brilliant successes achievod by the struggling colonieH during the Revolutionary War. Thus, although Commodore Stewart was born at too late a day to participate in the struggle which resulted in the destruction of British domi nion over our country, he was a pupil of its naval hero, and he was the leading spirit of the American navy during the long period between the close of the last century and the outbreak of the late Rebellion, participating actively in all its important naval enterprises, except those embraced in the first and last great wars waged by the American people. During this eventful epoch he gained great distinction during the war against France, the war against Tripoli, and the war of 1812 against Great Britain. In the latter especially, his capture of the two British 8hips-of-war, the Cyane and Levant, ia oue engagement, won the enthusiastic applause of bis countrymen. An anecdote is told of this affair, which happily illustrates the daring and chivalrous character of "Old Ironsides." It is said that on the morning subsequent to the capture, the British officers, while break fasting with Commodore Stewart in his cabin, began an angry controversy in regard to the cause of their discomfiture, each alleging that the other was in fault. Finally, they be came so much excited that they appealed to their captor for his opinion, when be responded by saying: "Gentle men, this is too delicate a matter for me to decide, but if you are unable to agree, and are very anxious to fix responsibility in the right quarter, I will place you back in your vessels, fight the battle over again, and by the time I recapture you, you can judge for your selves who made the most gallant and skilful defense." Many of the achievements of the early ornaments of the navy seem more like the deeds of the heroes of romance than the conquests of ordinary caortals. There is little doubt that they were inspired by an intense desire to win distinction for themselves and glory for the new star-gemmed banner of the young republic, and that some of their feats bordered on the marvellous. And yet, there j was a strong substratum ot common sense, practical knowledge, and Yankee shrewdness under all their important movements. The foundation of their most brilliant triumphs was superior American skill in naval architec ture. This country not only produced the swiftest vessels of the old style, but of six frigates ordered to be built in 17'.H, three were of a very heavy class, the Constitution being one of this number, and these heavy vessels were more than a match for any single vessel in any other navy. The daring spirit of our officers improved these advantages to the utmost, and it was this combination which enabled the American navy to contest, with such wonderful success, the English supremacy on the ocean whioh had given rise to the arrogant boast that Britannia ruled the waves. At the commencement of the war of 1812 the leading national authorities at first determined to confine all the vessels of our navy in American ports to assist in home de fense, and this timid policy was only over ruled by the earnest remonstrances of leading naval oflkers, Commodore Stewart being especially active and influential in securing for himself and bis gallant associates permis sion to antagonize the foe in bis favorite ele ment. The result showed that not withstanding the vast disproportion in the aggregate size of the two navies, the Americans possessed swifter and more powerful vessels, and that they knew more of the art of navigation and naval gun nery than their British antagonists, and those advantages, united with the most undaunted pluck, inflicted on John Bull the only naval disasters he had suffered since the days when the Dutch Admirals kept broomsticks flying at their mast-head as a derisive sign of their ability to sweep the English Channel. Un necessary a3 subsequent naval wars became, ' after these demonstrations of valor and skill, for a long period, the genius and courage dis played during the late Rebellion show that our countrvmen are fully able, in times of emergency, to maintain their old superiority. The baste with which a powerful navy was im pro-vised, and the ingenuity exhibited in the improvements which have revolutionized the naval architecture oi every civnizeu uuuon, fullv iustifv the belief that we can keep fully abreast of thesa progressive times, and in days of peril confound our enemies with new Monitors and ne ar iron-cluds, as well as sink , their Alabamas with a new Kearsarge. BEECHER, THE PREACHER. yiitELT if any man in the United States is fitted to teach the art of sermonizing, that man is Henry Ward Beechor. lie' standstlt tie very Lead, and. front of tu vUumoI pw- THE DAILY EVENING - TKLKOnATU PHILADELPHIA,' WEDNESDAY. fession of the country, and the reputation which he has achieved as the foremost preacher of the continent is fully merited. There are men in the pulpit who are more eloquent than he is, men who can turn a point more nicely, and wind a rhetorical flourish more effectively; but in all the ele ments which go towards filling up and round ing out the completo character of the ideal minister, Mr. Beooher stands pre-eminent, if not alone. The fact that he does not fully roalizo the ideal is not a material drawback. He is given to clap-trap of the most outrageous sort, at times, appearing to lose sight of the true character of his work for the sake of pander ing to the vitiated tastes of the present gone ration, which demand clap-trap even in the pulpit. At times, too, he is given to a style which can only be fairly described as the slang-whanging style, and it is to his occa sional indulgence in this that he is indebted, in some measure, for the wonderful success which he has achieved. Yet even in these apparent defects he displays a consummate skill, and a keen insight into the human heart. If the world wore accustomed to frown down all sorts of tricks in the pulpit, even while submitting to them upon the stage and else whore, Mr. Beecher's knowledge of mankind is profound and thorough enough to keep him upon his good behavior; and if he should outlive the present passion for jugglery, he would doubtless outlive also his propensity for resorting to it. His grand characteristics, and the true secret of his great success as a pulpit orator, are his marvelous earnestness, his rare sim plicity of manner, his hearty and undisguised sympathy with his auditors, and his accurate appreciation of the weight of the doctrines which he proclaims. In the outline of an address delivered by him before an audience made up principally of theological students, to which we give place in another column, he says: "If God has blessed my labors it has been because I have had a fervent, growing, intense personal love for Christ, and an admi ration unspeakable. This has been the main spring of my ministry." But to this main spring have been subordinate and subservient those other qualities for which he is so justly celebrated. This thorough devo tion to the great Founder of the Faith will not always, and des not always, insure success. In the address referred to. Mr. Beechor quoted a case directly in point as au illustra tion that of a man "noble in scholarship, noble in heart," the lachets of whose shoes he deemed himself not worthy to unloose, yet one whose labors brought forth comparatively stinted fruit. The great defect of this preacher, and the secret of his failure, accord ing to Mr. Beecher, consist in the fact that, while he has a sympathy with God, he has not a particle of sympathy with man. It is to the possession of this latter quality in a pre-eminent degree that Mr. Beecher owes not only the success which has attended bis ministrations, but the more noticeable of his defects. Thoroughly conversant with the nature of humanity, and in perfect accord with the spirit of the age, he does not hesi tate to lower himself to the common level of his generation, for the sake of driving home an argument, or bringing himself into sympa thy with those for whoso welfare he has an earnest and unaffected concern. If he some times steps beyond the limit of discretion, the spirit of the times is in greater measure responsible for his fault than is the preacher himself. We can only regret that the address which has prompted these reflections cannot be laid before our readers in a more complete report than that which we elsewhere publish. The subject is one of unusual importance, and any words from Henry Ward Beecher bearing upon it are invested with unusual weight. STAFF RANK M THE NA FT. Ik the discussion and settlement of any ques tion that arises with regard to the status of the officers of the army or navy, their rights, privileges, conveniences, comfort and emolu ments, there are two considerations that are of paramount importance the efficiency of the service and the good of the country. An officer, soldier, or sailor, in entering the military service of the country, agrees ' to submit to all the hardships that the perform ance of bis duty may entail upon him ; but, on the other hand, the Government is bound to see that these are not unnecessarily bur densome, and that the officers and men of the army and navy are made as comfortable as circumstances will permit. The staff officers of the navy the surgeons, engineers, and paymasters complain that under the existing laws of Congress and regulations of the Department, they fail to receive that recognition that the importance and value of their services demand. They ask that they may have a chance to win some of the honors that belong to rank and posi tion, and to enjoy those privileges and com forts as regards quarters and the social rota tions of the mess table that rank carries with it. The line, on the other hand, contend that to grant assimilated rank to the staff would be to subvert all discipline to place the surgeon, paymaster, or engineer of a ship oftentimes above the legitimate com manding officer, and to send the navy finally to what Mr. Mantilini calls "the domnition bow-wows." If there was any reason to be lieve that any such result as this would follow from acceding to the demands of the staff officers, the matter most certainly ought to be carefully weighed before a change is made. There is nothing, however, beyond the asser tion of the line officers to support any such idea as this, and not a single argument worthy of notice has been advanced to maintain their position. On the contrary, the present state i of affairs is most certainly detrimental to the interests of the naval service, as under it the staff officers are discontented: they feci that they are looked down upon with contempt by the line, and regarded as mere civilians who have no rights' that a military man and a graduate of the Naval Academy is ' bound to respect Thei"e--is a large number f ynvHUwoa uun e&ialiiig in li iuvviu corps that it is found ' impossible to fill with persons who are competent to pass the neces sarily strict examination, and the alternative is presented of either lowering the standard of qualification and admitting into the navy imperfectly educated and trained surgoons, or else to make the service more attractive to capable men, by assuring them of rank and its attendant privileges, so that they will be placed upon a sooial equality with the officers of the line. Much the Bame state of affairs exists in the Engineer Corps, which it is even more important should be maintained at the highest possible state of efficienoy. It needs no argument to prove that in the future we will be obliged to main tain a steam and, to a great extent, an iron clad navy, and the necessity of an accom plished and scientific corps of engineers is plain to the dullest comprehension. The engineers have under them large bodies of men, among whom it is necessary to maintain discipline, and to have tho roughly drilled in all the details of maaaging the complicated machinery ised on board of naval vessels, and their duties are arduous, important, and such as demand ability of the highest order. From the very peculiarities of their case the engineers are even more ob jects of jealousy on the part of the line offi cers than are the surgoons and paymasters, and the efforts have been more persistent to degrade them to as low positions in the ser vice as possible. The influences now at work at the Navy Department are endeavoring to reduce the usefulness and efficiency of this corps to a minimum, and an effort is now being made to return to the old system used on the first introduction of steatu in the navy, of enlisting machinists to run the en gines, and of sending the vessels to sea with only two or three engineers who will not be ex pected to stand watch, but merely to have a su pervision of their department. It is a sufficient argument against this practice, that it was tried once and proved a complete failure. Competent machinists will not phip for such service as this, and the only way in which a steam and ironclad navy can be maintained at the highest state of efficiency is to have a corps of practical and scientific men who will devote their whole lives to promoting the welfare of the navy by working in harmonious co-operation with their brethren of the lino. From the very nature of the case, the line officers will always bo supreme, and no privi leges that can be accorded to the staff will ever put them above those who are endowed with the rights and responsibilities of com mand. It is nothing, therefore, but petty and groundless jealousy that can induce the line officers to oppose the granting of assimilated rank to the staff; and the gentlemen who com pose the last-named branch of the service point to the army and to the naval service of many of the European nations, as examples of the working of the system that they advocate for themselves. Such a quarrel as that now going on is utterly disgraceful, and unless something is done to quiet the spirit of discontent i that exists, an irreparable injury will be done to the navy. The case of Surgeon Green, several times referred to in these columns, was a blow at the efficiency of the medical corps from which it will not soon recover, un less Congress makes such positive provisions as will give reasonable assurance to compe tent physicians that they will not bo sub jected to such treatment in the future. It is certain that something ought to be done speedily to put a stop to a contest that has been waged too long already, and we sincerely hope that Congress, at the next session, will take up the subject and consider it in an un prejudiced and dispassionate spirit. Secretary Robeson, it is announced, is about to take a step towards settling difficul ties between the line and staff officers, by the appointment of a board to consist of three gentlemen from the line and three from the staff. This looks promising, but wo do not expect much from it, and it is scarcely proba ble that the staff will get anything except by compromise, and by giving up much that they ask for. If an agreement satisfactory to both parties, however, can be arrived at, a good work will be done, and the oountry, the' Navy Department, and the officers both of the staff and the line will have cause for congratula tion that a disagreeable and annoying subject is finally set at 'rest.
