Admiral Porter yesterday sent the follow ing letter to Hon. G. W. Sco&eld, of the House Naval Committee: HeapquabteusAbmvofthe United States, Wakhinoton. L. C, Feb. 1", 1870. Admiral D. 1). Porter. Navy Department. Dear Ad miral: I have your letter of yesterday, and hope you are mistaken in supposing my opi mon can in any manner anect tne result in the question of the rank, positive or assimi lated, of the star! oiiicers ot tne navy have observed the feeling which has been de veloped by the controversy, and have natu rally deterred to the ludcment ot sucn naval officers, like yourself, as have spent their whole lives at sea. and have risen from the bottom to the very top of vour profession As von remark, I have good opportunities to study the subjec t at sua, haviug mode many voyages in all sorts of crafts, with sailing and steam, or on war vessels, as well as packets, one of those being Irom Now lovk to Calif or. nia. in the Lexington, naval storeship, com manded by the present Admiral Bailey; and the result or conclusion is that I don't want to go to sea in any vessel with wore than one captain, or where, in case of accident to him, the rights and powers of his successor are not clearly prescribed by law or naval custom. If by conferring actual naval rank on the Kurgeons, paymasters, engineors, etc., the power of the captaiu, executive oflicer, first lieutenant, or of the ortioor of the deck is diminished or made doubtful, I would con sider the change very damaging to the service. , . TLc oujeot of all rni is i"i au uucu to lkfr poVtr Ktt beuw M to fix leHaflibility, 1'lins, if the changes at sea on a long voyage would hnvo a ship with start" officers on board k nior to the actual commander, tho Govern ment could not afford to let that commander off in caco of wreck, disaster, or dofoat. Therefore I take it for granted that no law will be enacted that will leave it doubtful who is to be the responsible commander in any event. In tho army all our staff officers have actual rank. They hold commissions from the President as Generals, Colonels, Majors, Cap tains, etc, which fix their pay, allowances, precedence, and privileges generally. But the sixty-seoond article of war clearly esta blishes who is to command. If upon marches, guards, or in quarters, different corps of the army shall happen to join, or do dnty to gether, the officer highest in rank of tho line of the army, marine corps, or militia, by commission, when on duty or in quartern, shall command the whole and give orders for what is needful to the service, unless other wise specially directed by the President of the United States, acoording to the nature of the case. There fore and it frequently happens when a captain or lieutenant tin da himself senior, he commands the whole, though thero may bo nnder him surgeons, paymasters, quarter masters, etc., with commissions of colonel .or major, who must obey his orders so long as a line oflicer is present for duty. He must command; be cannot even waive it, for the Government holds him especially responsible for whatever dnty or enterprise the command may be encaged in. This is true as to tho commanding oflicer, and is practically true as to the officer of the day, who corresponds with your officer of the deck; as also the ad jutant, who simply makes the orders of the commanding oflicer. In all other respects the staff officers have the full advantage of their rank. On the whole, our army system seems to work well in practice, but I do not feel justified in saying how far the same plan would work in the navy. Of this you must be the better judge. As a matter of course all kinds of bills find easy admission into Congress for debate, but I feel certain the majority of members will not force on you any system of naval government that you think will result in the demoralization of the service. I rather think they will defer to those who go down to the sea in great ships to make the laws which will preserve the dis cipline of the navy and moke it what it has always been, the pride of the country. With great sespect, your sincere friend, W. T. Sherman, General. "marine telegraph. For additional Marine Xcu see First Page. ALMANAC FOR PHILADELPHIA THIS DAT.
