A GREAT WAll SHIP.
From On N. Y. Commtreial Advertiser.
They are building a war ship in England,
the Devastfttien, which is prondly called "the
First Kate' of the future. The keel was laid
a few days ago. The new vessel is a turret
ahip of a novel description, and the Admi
ralty and her designers have high hopes in
her oonstr notion. The ship is an iron-clad,
without masts or sails, depends upon steam
alone for propulsion, and has a new form of
tarrot. The English regard this ship and her
mate, also building, as the pioneers in a class
of vessels more formidable than any afloat
either in offensive or defensive power, or in
coal carrying capacity. They are floating
batteries mobilized. The Devastation is 285
feet long, 62i wide, has a draught of 20 feet,
and her burden in tons is 4406. The War
rior is 380 feet long, and is of (!)()!) tons
burden. The Minotaur is 4(K) feet long, and
is of 6021 tons; yet neither of these can com
pare in strength and solidity with the Devasta
tion. The Warrior has for a plating 4 J inches
of hammered iron and 18 inches of teak. The
Minatour has 5J inches of rolled iron, !)
inohes of teak. Each has an inner skin of
thin iron. The Devastation will have 12
inches of rolled iron, 18 inches of teak, and
inch of inner skin. This is regarded as
Keren times as strong as the other vessels
named. The Devastation will have two tur
rets, and in eaoh will be mounted two 30 ton
guns, each carrying a 600 pound shot. Her
cost will be $290,000. The Warrior cost
$.60,000, and the Achilles .r,0,000. A crew
of 2.r0, all told, will suffice to man her. The
guns will have an "all-round" fire. Her en
gines are two 800-horse power each. She is
a screw-steamer, and will make 12 knots an
hour. Her ooal storage is 1600 tons enough,
says the London Time, to "make the ship to
proceed to the Mediterranean and return
without coaling between the times of her
leaving Spithead and anchoring there again
at the conclusion of her voyage; or, it would
enable her to cross the Atlantic, fight an
action, and afterward return to a home port
without having to renew her stock of fuel."
Tho British naval constructor has, says the
Time, "started from the American model,
and taking the benefit of the experience
gained by the Americans during the war be
tween tho North and the South, he has un
doubtedly added in the breastwork type of
turret-ship many important features, and has
given the navy a class of turret-ship that can
go to sea and fight in any weather.'
There is no question that our navy is weak
in aggressive vessels equal to the emergencies
of modern warfare. We may have harbor
defenses and floating batteries, but we have
none of the imposing iron-clads that belong
to the navies of other nations.
All the powers of Europe have numerous
war ships of the grandest types, of which our
burned up Ironsides wai a humble example.
We have devoted ourselves to the monitor
business and have left undeveloped the im
portant field occupied by such ships as are
described above. It is well to know what
Great Britain is doing in naval architecture.
A PILE OF NEWSPAPERS.
From the Fitteburg Chronicle.
Certainly mere is somotmng suggestive in
the heap of "exchanges" which burdens the
table at which we sit. Before we attack this
formidable accumulation of newspapers we
find ourselves involuntarily pursuing a train
of reflection which may be thus rendered
into speech. Here within a space of six feet
by four is the concentrated thought which at
the present moment occupies the mind of this
vast country, nay, oi tne wnoie priooe. nere
are the views and facts, political, religious,
mercantile, social, mechanical, scientific, and
literary, ' which agitate millions of people.
The telegraph and railroad placing limitations
npon time and spaoe are both here. We need
not visit Richmond, Va. In these papers
whatever is of interest or concern in that
Quarter is mirrored forth, Here is Now
Orleans. There is New York. That is St,
Louis or Cincinnati. And that very respect
able sheet photographs Montana. Here you
have in correspondence the continent of
Europe, and there China is brought nearer
than Han Francisco. What library, however
rich, so teems with provocations to thought
as this pile of newspapers? The vast rows of
books speak of departed things. But this
heap of printed paper, with infinite variety
and eloquence, speaks of the wide and multi
farious present. It images the living world.
It details its pleasures and its pains, its tra
gedies and its merry makings, its pomps and
ahowa, its hopes and pangs, its triumphs and
failures. It tells of great and small things.
It records the runaway of a
horse and the completion of the
Suez Canal with equal impartiality.
It attends at one and the same time
to the most sublime and the pettiest transac
tions. It has the microscopic eye, and it sur
veys the broadest fields of observation. We
say it without irreverence, that there is
nothing short of Omnipotence which covers
bo universal a field and comprises such broad
and such minute investigations us the press.
It not only records, but it makes history. It
not only notes, but it creates public opinion.
It is at this writing not the fourth, but the
first estate in the world, and it is with no
Blight feoling of becoming respect that we
now pause in this digresuion to examine for
the benefit of the readers of the Chronicle
this imposing mass of exchanges, and contri
bute to extend still further whatever is in
them of profit or ornament.
BOUGUERREBOURZIERISM.
From the Louisville Journal.
Sinoe the negro at the South has proved
to be so signal a lauure as a politician, as a
legislator, and as a free, nntrammeled cultiva
tor oi tne soil, tne question nas Doen sprung
as to what shall be done with him. It is the
question of the party which adopted him at
the start as its pet and protege. In the field
of politics, where he first tried his newly un
fettered powers, he did not shine; as a states
man and a law-giver, to which profession he
next turned his attention, he achieved little
to eolipse the fame of Clay and Webster; and
as a cotton planter his name will never be
handed down to posterity as a thing crowned
with too much of success to perish young,
In short, the Freedman's Bureau has utterly
failed to utilize him; and by their efforts to
lift him to the plane of New England civil!
zation, the carpet-bagger and the scalawag
have succeeded only in making him two-fold
more a nuisance than he otherwise would or
could have been.
But we are told by the Mobile Tribune that
a Boston company has been organized for the
BurnoKe of embarkinc extensively in the bu-
Biness of converting the negro from an awk
ward elephant into something profitable. This
is to ie done by the French prooess known as
Bourguerrebouzieri.afion. "It is well known,
at least to the medical fraternity," says the
Tribune, "that abont two years ago the oele-
brated surgeon, .ue la lkraguerrebouziere, of
Paris, disoovered a prooess by which the
human body may be paralyzed at will all but
the nerves of the eye, the brain, and the diges
tive organs. A person tinder the influence of
Bouguerrebouziensm sees and thinks as
usual, but cannot move a musole. The great
result achieved by the discovery consists in
the fact that it enables the eve of science to
observe the whole prooess of digestion by
merely ripping open the abdomen of the sub
ject, without pain to the latter. But the poor
man Bees and knows all the time that they
are splitting him like a mackerel Experience
soon proved that negroes were better sub
jects than white men, and the consequence
was that the f2d Regiment of the Corps
d'Afrique, stationed near Paris, was deci
mated in the conrae of a few weeks during the
spring or tne present year.
The Tribwie tells us further, as we have
already intimated, that no sooner had certain
shrewd m?n of Boston read an account of this
new discovery tnan tney immediately or
ganized a joint stock company, with a capital
of half a million of dollars, for the purpose of
kidnapping and Bouguerrebouzierizing our
fellow-citizens of African descent in all the
Southern cities, and that they are now exten
sively engaged in the nefarious business.
In addition to all this, we are told that "the
process of Bouguerrebouzierizing a negro
may be accomplished in a few seoonds of
time, and as well when tne victim is asleep as
awake. He is then carried off as stiff as if he
nad ceasea to live. J. nose who have wit
nessed the whole experiment express them
selves as touched to the heart at sight of a
poor negro rolling his eyes in horror at the
sight of tne knife ripping Into his stomach.
It is to be Hoped tnat tne Freedmen s Bu
reau, or ueneral Ames, or Chevalier Forney.
or some other virtuous philanthropist who
has the good of the voting machinery of the
radical party at heart, has called the attention
of President Grant to the operations of this
gigantio corporation of Boston, and that he
will call upon Congress to demand the au-
tnoriiy unaer wmcn tney are carrying on
business. If his attention has not been colled
to this thing, we beg that he will consider the
call hereby made, trumpet-tongued, and that
he will show the concern up to Congress in a
postscript to his message.
It may not be amiss to say, in order to re
assure the colored popular miud of the South,
that there is possibly no such thing as Bou-
guerrebouzierism in this country, and that if
there is, a joint stock company would find
little or no money in it; but there is one thing
of which you may feel quite Mire, if anything
could be made by Bouguerroboyziering the
negroes of the South, or of the North, Boston
would very cheerf ully and very promptly f ur-
msli a company tor tne purpose.
SCHLESWIG-nOLSTEIN AGAIN.
From the A. T. Times.
The fact of the Danish question having
been again revived, and of the consequent
interchange of diplomatic notes between the
Cabinets of Berlin and Vienna, will probably
appear to the general reader a remarkably
uninteresting piece of intelligence. Of all
the murky questions of European politics, the
political status of these Elbe Duchies is per
haps the most unintelligible. Luxembourg
and the Danubian Principalities are daylight
itself when compared with ths Cimmerian
darkness which envelops Schleswig-Holstein,
The fortunes of the industrious little com
munity of stock farmers who sustain the
commerce of Kiel and Altona have, since the
seven days' German war of 1866, dropped out
of publio view.
It may be remembered that Prussia and
Austria, as joint bailiff's for the Germanio
Confederation, put in what was called a
"federal execution" on this portion of the ter
ritories of the newly-crowned King of Den
mark. The gallant but ineffectual resistance
of the Danes, the abortive London Confe
rence, and the joint military occupation of
the Duchies, are all events not yet entirely
forgotten. As a less marked episode, we may
recall the Prussian recognition of the claims
of Prince Frederick, of Augustenburg, to the
sovereignty, and Bismark's subsequent change
of policy when two other candidates started
up to complicate the business. For nine
months eleven Prussian Crown lawyers tried
hard to unravel the skein, and, tangled by
the narrow majority of six to five, came to
the highly judicious conclusion that none of
the pretenders had a right to the whole of the
Uucmes, and tnat mere tore i'russia and Aus
tria, to whom the King of Denmark had
ceded the territory, were the legitimate
owners. I
These learned pundits were evidently in
capable of realizing the absurdity of deriving
a title from the very sovereign wnose claims
the German powers had just been forcibly
disputing. The question, however, remained
conveniently open, and formed a pretext,
from the disputes incident on a joint occupa
tion, first for sundrv threatening desDatches
to Austria, and next, by its introduction into
the German Diet, for the declaration of the
war which culminated at Sadowa, and changed
, .
the territorial map of Europe.
To tnose wno coincide witn tne opinion
lately expressed by a well-informed commen
tator on European politics, that "we hod as
yet seen only the first act of a gTeat drama
when the curtain fell nt Sadowa, the reopen,
ing of the Schleswig-Holstein dispute is some
what ominous, It is probable that Austria
may have at last demanded that her former
coadjutor should challenge the general vote
of the inhabitants as to their future sove
reignty a course which, so lojg as sho clung
to Venetia and the Quadrilateral, she could
not very consistently press.
A RADICAL TRIUMPH IN MISSISSIPPI.
Front the Tvlfdo Marie.
The brother-in-law dodge is played out.
The inimitable Dent is politically defunct.
There was not virtue enough in the hem of
the President's garment to give political life
to a relative himself without principle or
merit. Men of all parties will rejoice that this
effort of . one of the smallest of small politi
cians to climb into conspioious position over
a great man's shoulders has signally failed.
That every tub should stand on its own bot
tom is a principle which appears to be re
cognized still by the common sense of man
kind. The ex-Rebels have often boasted of their
power over the colored people of the South,
and of their ability to make them vote as their
old masters should dictate. If the ex-slaveholder
had been free to use the whip and the
knife as freely as he was in the days of James
Buchanan the old supremacy would have been
maintained, just as it used to be over the
poor, landless whites of that region. But,
happily, General Ames was on hand to see
justice done, and to maintain every man's
right, be he black or white, to vote aa he
pleased. They have so voted, and the result
IS, One iavoraoio to ireuuuiu wiu tuo future
peace of the whole country.
The victory of the radicals in Mississippi
secures a Republican delegation in Congress,
and the adoption of a State Constitution, and
fifteenth amendment
atnre just chosen.
Two Republican Senators will be chosen; and
the home of the chief of the Rebellion will
now complete gloriously the work of reoon
struction and 'bring up the topstone of the
rree union Willi shouts of rejoicing. Tne
Dent papers are loud in their oomplaints
against General Ames. lie has done his duty
under tne law, and no more. It was the in
tention of Congress that the whole people,
black and white, in the State, should settle
the conditions on which the new era of self-
government should begin. The old slave
holding regime had brought the State, rich as
it was and is in soil and resources, to bank
ruptcy, and established the reign of anarchy
and bloodshed in all her borders. Now she
will have a government which will gain its
just powers from the consent of all classes
governed. Liberty and justice will be no
longer the privilege of a select class, bnt the
inneritance of all.
This contest could have been ended years
ago but for the tergiversations of Andrew
Johnson.
In the spring of 1868, through his influ
ence, the blacks were left without protection,
and the State rejected the constitution they
have now adopted by over seven thousand
votes. The poor blacks then had to struggle
for the radical cause nnaided and atone. They
made the best fight in their power, and cast
6.1,2:51 votes for ratification and the radical
tioket, against 6:1,860 votes cast by the cop
per-rebels. This time General Grant was on
their side, and showed fair play between the
parties. Some blacks were still bullied or
bought into supporting the conservative
ticket, but a considerable sprinkling of
whites, led by Alcorn, voted the radical ticket.
The vote polled is the heaviest ever cast in
the State, and the result insures the ascend
ancy of the Republican party in the State for
a long time to come. This victory we deem
one of great importance, as its effects will be
felt for good in all the future history of our
country.
THE MESSAGE AND REPORTS.
OPINIONS OF TI1H NKVV YORK PKESW.
Tribune.
The Tribune says of the Message:
"'On the whole, while we may not fully
concur in its every recommendation, we
regard this as one of the wkest and most
judicious Messages ever transmitted to Con
gress, and confidently predict for it the hearty
approval and concurrence of tne American
people."
The same paper says of the Treasury Re
port:
Mr. Boutwell has to tell us what he lias
done, and the record is such as to insure
praise. He has to tell us what he proposes;
and here he encounters rival interests, vary
ing opinions, the theories of bankers, and
the selfish wishes of speculators.
We take thankfully the good we get, and need
only now add that the Secretary has given us
a most valuable, careful, able, and, in the
main, sound report.
Of the Naval Report it says:
"Secretary iiobeson s business in coming
suddenly into command of one of tne Depart
ments of Government was to put a navy in
repair. He appears on the whole to
have done well, and in calling for an appro
priation ot S'-'H, 000,R)0 for tne coming year,
or an advance of it5?, 000, 000 on former esti
mates, gives some apparently strong reasons
for the increased estimates.
Of the Postal Report it says:
"The annual report of Mr. Postmaster-Gene,
ral Creswell is concise and clear in its state-
ments, and statesmanlike in its recommenda
tions. It is refreshing to find a man
at the head Of the Post Office Department
who bravely grapples with that stupendously
expensive humbug, the franking privilege.
Mr. Creswell reoommends the total extirpa
tion of the time-honored evil, and gives most
cogent reasons therefor."
Of Secretary Coxs report the 1 no line
says:
"The report of the Secretary of the In
terior is worthy of the most careful study. It
is so replete with encouraging statistics, and
so forcibly does it illustrate tne fact tnat a
new era of honesty and economy was inaugu
rated when the present administration came
into power, that aside from its recommenda
tions for still more efficient service and a
further reduction of expenses, it will be read
with interest."
It remarks npon the War report as follows:
"The present head of the War Depart
ment, though a man of perhaps greater
energy and practical sagacity than his coun
trymen will at once recognize, cannot
have been long enough in office to have im
pressed upon it an administrative character
peculiarly his own. What General Belknap
reports, it may do him credit to say General
Rawlins might have in many respeots re
ported." Times.
The lime says of the message :
"A sense of gratitude and pride may well
be awakened in any nation which is invited
to contemplate so bright and hopeful a review
of its affairs as that which President Grant is
providentially enabled to lay before us. His
message is one of good news throughout.
The President has not attempted to adorn his
message with any rhetorical artifices. He
gives a comprehensive and business-like sum
mary of the information which the great body
of citizens desire to possess. He omits
nothing of importance and introduces nothing
which is superfluous."
It expresses this opinion of Mr. Boutwell's
exhibit:
"Much of the report isxlevoted to the busi
ness detailn of the department, its complex
machinery, and the proper directions and
reform as well as economy and security of
management, in all which Mr. Boutwell
evinces an aptness and industry for admin
istration only equaled by his ability to shape
the more important concerns of the publio
finance?. "
Speaking of the naval report the Time
says: ,
"It is to be regretted that he did not incor
porate directly into it, and so bring before
the country as well as before Congress, the
report of Mr. Bone's board for the inspection
of steam machinery. That renort shows in
specific facts and figures the enormous blun
ders of the Steam Bureau in its construc
tional feats, which have cripplod the naval
service and burdened it with extravagant
expenditures."
Of the Pout Office report it savs-.
' "The Postmaster-General's report presents
a mans of statistics, many of which are im
portant and all interesting. 'tt.e
whole report bears testimony to the intelli
gence, znnl and nctivitv with whioh the
ufl'airs of the departniout have been con
ducted." ! Of Secretary Cox's report we have the fol
lowing criticism:
, "The report of Secretary Cox proves to bo
the ratification of the flf
by the Republican Legisl
a digest or synopsis, in the main, of the sub
reports of departments and districts, drawn
tip, as far as practicable, in the Bpirit, if not
me language, oi BUDordinates. However,
the reports from the five district command
ers, from the Freedmen's Bureau, and from
the other customary souroeH, are lth inte
resting and valuable."

President and Congress, unless there may be
Borne trouble created in the Senate touching
the division of the spoils. In a word, it is a
good business message, and indicates a good
administration and peace and prosperity to
the country under President Grant, without
panics and with a steady reduction of the
debt and a quiet return to specie payments."
UI tne Treasury report it saya:
"Secretary Boutwell, in his communication
to Congress, takes pride in the large reduc
tion of the national debt, the details of whioh
have been already given to the publio in the
debt statement of the 1st inst. The feature
of the document is the testimony it boars to

assuming the administration of the Govern
ment nas carried out his promises in the
matter of the revenue and expenditures of

World.
Contrary to the general expectation, the
World doesn't like the message. It says:
"President Grant makes it too evident that
the preparation of publio documents is an
employment in which he is not at home.
His manner of writing is feeble and limping,
and tne substance and tissue of his ideas
give an appearance of repeating with imper
fect apprehension views borrowed from
others, rather than the digested results of in
dependent reflection. His long introduction

message which every member of Congress
and every reader of the document doos not
know as well as the President. When we
pass from the porch into the buildintr. we
find it an ill-arranged structure, made up, for
the most part, of materials selected or
abridged from the reports of the heads of the
departments. In point of ability,
mis is tne weaKesi message ever sent to (Jon
great) vy au Aiuoncun ireHiaeni.
In remarking on the Treasury report the
yrona says:
"Undoubtedly, the most important preli mi
nary to financial stability, is to get the bulk
of our debt into the hands of permanent in,
vestors. Mr. Boutwell is of opinion that
this cannot be done without a previous con
version of the five-twenties into new bonds.
He opposes any reduction of taxes at this
session of Congress, thinking that an excess
of revenue is necessary for convincing the
present bondholders of the ability of the
Government to pay them off, and thereby
produce a willingness to exchange the five-
twentieH for other securities. This is weak
and self-refuting.
