the HEW NAVY YABD OH THE DELAWARE
On Saturday last, by invitation of a number
Of prominent residents of Delaware county, the
Naval Committee of the U. S. Senate, together
with Philadelphians representing the business
interests of this city, assembled at Thurlow’s
Station, on the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
and Baltimore Railroad, near Chester. The ob
ject of the excursion was to visit the site of the
proposed Navy Yard, a mile or two below that
town,-and also to compare it with the League
Island site. Among the gentlemen present
were Senators Hale of New Hampshire, Hicks,
of Maryland, Willey of West Virginia, Ram
say of Minnesota, Cowan of Pennsylvania,aud
John M. Broomal), Member of Congress from
the Seventh Congressional . District. The
House Naval Committee did not attend the
meeting, either from want of invitation, or ina
bility to leave Washington. Judge Kelley,
however, was on hand. Among other Dela
ware county gentlemen present were S. M.
Felton, Esq., President of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad; Mr. Ward,
the law partner 1 of Mr. Broomall; Captain
Smith, United States Navy, and Mr-McManus.
William B. Thomas, Esq., Collector of the
Port of Philadelphia;, James Lynd, Esq.,
President of Select Council; George Inman
Biche, of Select Council; Edwin Rafsnyder, of
Common Council; Messrs. Bushy and Tatem>
of the Board of Trade; and Alexander
Cattell, of the Corn Exchange, were invited,
and one or two naval officials from Washington
city were also present. At Thurlow’s ah; ex
cellent breakfast . was set forth, after
which the party set forth in carriages to view
the Chester site. This proposed location has.
various advantages, such as extending along
the river for nearly two miles, the ground grad
ually rising from the river to a ridge which ex
tendg'clear down to the highlands of Christiana.
The water is said to have an average depth of
thirty-six 1 feet all aloDg this front, while the.
breadth of the river is from one and a quarter to
one and three-quarter miles. The excursionists
next proceed to Marcus Hook, where they took
the steamer Ariel and came up the Delaware to
League Island. Arriving at the latter place its
advantages for a navy yard became'fully as ap
parent, if not more so, than the Chester site.
The island has a front of five hundred acres,
with a wall around it which has stood for over
twenty years. The ground is firm, with a
gravel foundation just below the surface,
and the water is fully ,as deep
in front of the island as it is in front of the
Chester location. In fact no one could view
League Island without being much impressed
with its advantages, and that too, without dis
paraging the location further down the
Leaving the island, after a brief though
pleasant stay, the party came up to:Phila
delphia, some by rail and the remainder) by the
Steamer Ariel. In the evening the doings of
. the occasion were closed by a banquet at
“parlor C” of the Continental. Mr. Felton
presided with his accustomed ease and felicity,
and speeches were made by Senators Hale,
Willey, Cowan and Ramsey; and by Messrs.
Brooinali, Lynd, Miller, Wetherill and Ward.
The whole affair passed off very agreeably
both to hosts and guests, and the Naval
Committee of the Senate could but
be convinced of the immense advantages
possessed by the banks of the Delaware, either
at League Island or Chester, for a great Navy
Yard—though we must in justice continue to
favor JLeague Island from its proximity to
Philadelphia, and from the ease with which
supplies of iron, coal, &c. may be brought
there from the great railroad lines centering
at Philadelphia. As to the mere building of
the docks, &c. the difficulties, if there are any,
are just as great at Chester as at League
Island, and the work would cost no more.
THE BATTLE OF GETTYS§GRG—GENERAL
HANCOCK.
To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin :
When a quack tries his medicine upon a patient
and kills him, he is indictedand punished for
malpractice, and all the medical profession as
well as the rest of the world cry out against
the folly of a man attempting to practice in a
profession lie knows ndthing about, especially
when a human life is involved.
We scarcely expect to hear orthodox doc
trine from the pulpit when the preacher has
hot been educated to the ministry, and no man
can enter our courts and practice law unless he
has been regularly licensed. No ship owner
ever thinks of entrusting his vessel, cargo and
passengers to the care of one not brought up
to the sea, and yet in what is now confessedly
the_ most difficult profession in the world, the
military, we too often see the lives and welfare
of thousands of men committed to those who
have-not the first qualification for the office.
And. strange to say, this course is passively
acquiesced in and frequently openly endorsed
by those who would be loudest in condemning
quackery in any other profession.' How quickly
would these cry out were a military man sent
into the pulpit to preach, the court to plead,
the surgery to amputate, or on board of a
vessel to command it in a storm. And yet is
one less absurd than the other ?
As a.consequence of this state of affairs, every
one, high and low, of all other professions, or
of none at all, seems to consider himself or her
self competent to criticise military operations
of the most complicated kind, and even women
mount the rostrum and condemn (seldom com
mend) the movements and actions in a grand
campaign! Fancy, if you can, the farcical ex
hibitionofa female lecturer drawing a crowded
house to hear the theological doctrines of our
standard divines picked to'pieces; the surgi
cal operations of ° ur eminent doctors com
upo| and condemned; the iudicial opin
ions _of our Supreme Court analyzed and criti
cised, or the naval conflicts and Z management
..qfvesseis of a Dupont or a Farragutexamfned
wuth the sarcasm and astuteness of a competent
C! i f d . >' et e <iual absurdities Cfbeen
perpetrated m regard to military affairs? Now
soldiers,who are good for much in their wav do
not generally profess to be good for much in
any other, and they usually act upon the princi
ple, that every profession has its own standard
and think it hard they cannot have theirs. It
is true that popular sentiment has in this coun
try taken doctors and lawyers from the ranks
, of their professions and made them eminent
£! en crals ip ours. But these, even if we concede
the fact, only constitute the exceptions which
prove the rule. Most military men would feel
worse even than fish out of water, if they were
the field and made doctors, lawyers,
divines or even congressmen.
_ We have been led into, this rather rambling
read ' m S latel y a resolution
passed by Congress giving a vote of thanks to
certain general officers and the Army of the Po
tomac for their services in the campaign which
terminated on the pell fought field, of Gettvs
burg. Now, these resolutions, several of which
have recently been passed by Congress, have
either a military or political signification. Tha
Is they are either the recognition by Congress
pf the military services of those in whose favor
they are passed, and therefore based necessa
rily upon the recommendation of competent
military authority, or they are made irrespec
tive of such recommendation, and with the idea
of giving some political importance to the per
sons named in them.
And here let us remark in passing that the
particular resolution referred to is the only one
yet introduced into Congress wherein any but
the name of the army commander, is introduced.
This is a significant fact, and one for which
there must be some reason. It cannot be be
cause any one denies the pre-eminent ability,
indomitable courage, and wise sagacity which
in Major-General Meade gave us the victory at
Gettysburg. These characteristics of the man,
and the feelihg prevalent in thessrmy just before
that, without a change of commanders,we were
simply marching forward to another Chaneel
iorsville, are, we believe, denied by no one
. competent to form a j udgment. It can scarcely
then be the intention to deny to General Meado
the honor of having personally fought' and
gained the battle.
In this connection, however, it will be
proper to notice a rumor, which, it is said,
has been repeated in high quarters in the
United States Senate, that the battle of
Gettysburg was fought strictly according
to a plan drawn up by Gen. Hooker before he
relinquished the command, and communicated
to Gen. Meade by Major-Gen. Butterfield, who
acted as chief of stall'to both. No statement
could be more utterly Without foundation.
For not only is it the fact that Gen. Hooker
did not and could not have known that a bat
tle was to be fought at Gettysburg; but more
haii this, Gen. Meade himself did not and
could not have known it beforehand.
Ifrwill naturally be asked how it happened
that a battle was fought on that ground, and
fortunately we are enabled to answer" the
question intelligibly. In the first place, any
one with a map before him can see that with
two armies, one north and the other south of
Gettysburg, and determined to fight each
other, a conflict would probably take place at
some point in the vicinity of that tbwn, simply
from the facilities the numerous roads leading
to it from all directions gave for the concen
tration of troops.
Whilst pushing forward to ascertain the posi
tion of the enemy, on the Ist of July, the gal
lant and lamented Buford fell upon him to the
northwest of Gettysburg, and fought him for
several hours, until the bravo Reynolds came
up to his support with his infantry. Reynolds
was supported by the’ 11th Corps (Howard),
whilst the w Bd (Sickels) and the 12th (Slocum)
were approaching the same point. On the fall
of Reynolds, Gen. Meade, who was than at
Taneytown. directed Maj.-Gen. Hancock to.
proceed at" once to Gettysburg, and assume
command of the three corps in that vicinity,
Ist, 3d and 11th. At this time it was in con
templation to give battle on Pipe Creek, some
miles south of Gettysburg, and Gen. Hancock
was instructed, ‘(lf you think the ground and
position there (at Gettysburg ) a better one than
Pipe Creek to fight a battle, under existing cir
cumstances, yop will so advise the General,
'•and he will order the troops up. You know
the General’s views,” &c., &c.
Here it is necessary to remark that of the
three corps commanders, those of the 3d and
11th, (Howard and Sickles,) ranked Hancock
as Major Generals.
On his arrival on the field of action, about 2,
P. M-, General Hancock found everything in
confusion, and our troops reheating iu every
i direction. After great personal efforts by him
self and staff, the retreat was arrested; and the
remainder of the 11th corps (part of it already
in position near the cemetery) was collected
and placed :in position, whilst the Ist; which
came back in better order, "was placed, one Di
vision on the right of the 11th, connecting it
with Culp’s hills, and the rest along the ridge
to the left. On its ■ arrival, the 3d corps was
made to*continue the line along the ridge in the
direction of Round Top. This was the identi
cal line on which the battle of Gettysburg teas
fought.
Having made this disposition, General Han
cock reported in detail to General Meade the
condition of affairs, what had been done, and
what were the advantages and disadvantages of
the military position assumed; and then the
12th corps having reached the ground and been
placed in position according to his suggestions,
he turned over the command of the whole to its
commander, Major-Gen. Slocum, and returned
after dark to report to General Meade in
person. On his report General Meade decided
to concentrate on this position and fight the
battle there.
.On the 2d of July General Hancock in com
mand of the loft centre played an important
paitin repulsing the enemy after the disaster'
to Sickles’s corps, and, unasked, sent assistance
tb Howard on the right, which remained there
onHhe 3d. and on the next day he fell seriously
wounded whilst successfully repulsing the main
attack of the enemy on his corps.
Under these circumstances, it is difficult to
conceive why, if any subordinate commander
was to be selected for special mention
in the thanks of Congress, that the
one who, junior to the others, was
selected on account of his military qualifica
tions to perform such important functions, as
was Gen. Hancock, was not designated by
Congress, instead of taking one who, with
the necessary rank, and being on the spot,
was not considered by his commanding officer
as properly qualified for the command. Cer
tainly no military reason can be assigned, and
we are led to infer that a political one was the
governing motive.
This, however, caxinot be, urged as a reason
for so grave a wrong against a gallant'soldier.
Nor can it justify another in] accepting honors
in a way which has been denominated by the
greatest soldier in the land as a ct pruriency of
fame~not earned.” Militabt.

THF. GREAT TRIUMPH OF MRS. M. G.
BROWN 5 S 4 ‘Metaphysical Discovery” over
ail quickery. Read carefully the folio wine certi
ficates, tendered me lor the benefit of ail suffering
humanity:
Glovckstxe, N. J., Jan. 30, 1564
I, Mr. William L*»e, of Gloucester, Camden
county, N J., do certify that ray wife, Ellen, has
been suffering severely with a complication, ot
diseases for eight years. The first srrntom of
disease was a womb complain*, on its flrstap
pearance she was con lined* to her bed for seven
weeks; diseases of various kinds get in one after
another, till my Wife was an entire wreck.
She has been uu4er the treatment ,of
ten of the first physicians, all (of
whom failed to render htr any relief, arid,
she was fast sinking in the arms of death. It is
more than four years since she was able to attend
to household duties. I have been compelled to
employ a housekeeper. We had given up doctor
ing as useless. Most pi evidentially and through
ihe blessing of God, mj housekeeper went up to
Kingsessing, Pa. v to see her sister. She found
that her sister’s neighbor, John Richmond, had
given up all work and was at the point of death.
He sent for Mrs. M. G. Brown’s “Metaphysical
Discovery,” had been restored to health and
is at his work again. When my house
keeper returned, she told me the circum
stances, and prr vailed on me to writs to Mr. Ric
hmond, and ask him the particulars. I donoso.and
received.an answer, which you will fiud a; the
bottom of my certificate
We then sent for Mrs. M. G, Brown's “Meta
physical Discovery '* and my wile has used it
laithfuliy, ai.H the result is that toe womb disease,
wticb was so bad, is entirely gone. She can now
co the work of her own house, which she has not
done for many years. I consider that d sease is
fa>t leaving her”system, and she is regaining her
otigUal health. Hrr eyes, which were so
weak through all her atilt- lion, are now
clear and string, and lluphasitatiogly ascribe my
wife's recovery, from thc\ jaws of death, to Mrs.
M. G. Brown’s “Metaphysical Discovery,” and
heartily recommend it to those who ave suffering
front aiiy disease, asiit must certttttily strike at the
root of all-diseases. It has done so in my wife’s
case. Should any person wish to call on me in
reference to the above, I am willing to see them
persoanlly-or write to them if they desire.

r Answer of John Richmond Kingsessing to Wm.
Lee, of Glbncostcr, Camden conuty. New Jersey.
Kiso**h*sino, Sept. 27, 1593.
Mrs. Lhh : Please to accept this as my testimony
iu behalf of Mrs. G. Brown’s “Metaphysical Dis
covery. * *
I was upwards of nine months afllicted with a
severe pain liv my head, ringing noise in my ears,
dealnesg, aiid dimness of sigh;. I was forced to
give up work entirely. I was under the treatment
of several medical men, who did all they could to
relievo me, but their medicines were of no avail.
I was four time's at the gates ot death, and had
made up my mind that death alone could end my
misery. ' _
On the ninth day of April a friend called on me
and advised mo to give Mrs. M. G. Brown a trial.
After some hesitation I did so, and in less than
three weeks 1 was at my work again, as well as
ever 1 was in my life, and am sti l 'in the enjoy
ment of excellent health. _ _
By the blessing of God and Mrs. M. G. Brown’s
great • ‘Metaphysical Discovery, * * I am. once more
enabled to earn my daily broad.
I am yours truly, wl& jq^^ 1 RICHMOND.
