When used, it will be paid for. Military Punishment. The Mutiny Act may be called the sheet anchor of Royalty in England. w pasted in 1689, after a Scottish cavaliy regi ment declared for Jambs Ih, at Abingdon, and was intended to meet that special case. It is now an annnal-that is, it is in opera tion only from year to year, to allow Par liament to have control oyer the army and navy, and, if not re-enacted in proper time, not one soldier or sailor could be lawfully held in service one hour after the expiration of the time during which their services were recognized by the act. The money-votes, for naval and military defences, are only for the current year; let the Mutiny Act, under which they are voted, not be renewed, and there would be neither army nor fleet, be cause there would be no pay. In the British army and navy, from time immemorial, corporal punishment has ex isted. Formerly, it was inflicted on slight occasions, and with extreme severity and cmelty. It was no uncommon thing to in flict a thousand lashes, with a cat-o’-nine tails, upon the naked back of a condemned soldier or sailor—actually nine thousand lashes. The “tails,” made of hard-twisted whip-cord, plaited and knotted, were some- times steeped in brine to harden them; and, it has been alleged, that bits of wire were sometimes inserted in the knots, to ensure the rapid cutting of the flesh off the human frame. About seventeen years ago, when a private soldier, named White, was literally flogged to death, near London, by sentence of a court martial, public opinion has set in very strongly against corporal punishment. For the most part, the officers of the army and navy have protested against the aboli tion of this cruel torture. In 1860, how ever, Parliament was compelled to yield to “ the pressure from without. ’ ’ Fifty lashes became the maximum to be inflicted for any offence ; a man must have been con victed of one disgraceful offence against dis cipline before he can be subject to flogging for the next such offence; and even after a first offence he may be restored to the non liable class by a year’s good conduct. Still, even fifty lashes, with nine whips savagely bruising, cutting, and tearing the flesh at each stroke, is a horrible torture, sometimes creating physical ailments which terminate fatally. It. has been observed, too, that since the number of lashes has been reduced, their severity has increased. A wretched victim sometimes suffers more now, from filly lashes, than formerly from thrice that number. The torture is inflicted by drummers in the army and by boat swains’ mates in the navy. The latter are always strong meD, the drummers are gene rally w< aker and younger, but they are regularly trained to the science of flogging, by frequent practice on a sack stuffed with shavings, and if they do not lay on the lash, in actual punishment, so as to tortune tae victim effectually, are themselves liable to he tried and punished lor neglect of duty. This terrible and horrible torture is not in flicted in the French Army, the morale oi which is very high. Neither is it sanctioned elsewhere. Our own military system is free from it. So is our naval; but flogging on board ship hasnotiong been abandoned by us. There were all sorts of pwdictions, at the time, that sailors would mutiny, in our ves sels of war, if the power to flog them was taken away, but the event has shown the fallaey of such prophecies. The British House of Commons had the Mutiny Bill be/ore them on the 11th of March. A motion to omit the clause which sanctions the infliction of the punishment of flogging was sustained by several members. The points they relied on were that the punishment was brutal and demoralizing ; that discipline could be maintained without it; that the French and Austrian armies, confessedly as well disciplined as the British, had no corporal punishment; that flogging was inflicted for the most trivial offences; that while a civilian who committed a theft was only punished with imprisonment, a soldier was subjected to lashes which in flicted upon him marks for life; that the infliction of this punishment was an outrage on the boasted civilization and Christianity of England; that, instead of having two hundred Sashes inflicted a 3 ioimerly, the maximum now was fifty, and , yet the discipline of the army- was not worse now than then; that this fact should encou rage them to get rid of the system alto gether; that while the -British* soldier in India was subject to the degradation of the lash, the native soldier was ex empt from it; that it was revolting to decency and humanity to call out a whole regiment to witness this brutal tor ture; and that it was utterly inconsistent with the support which England gave to the Northern States of America for reliev ing the negro from the lash, or with the in dignation which they poured out upon Rus sia for the use of the knout. The reply to this was flogging must be retained, because the British army was re cruited from the lowest classes, and that among the soldiers of England there were some for whom the punishment of flogging was necessary. The response to this was, “If so, get rid of such brutes. Why de grade the British army by classing them •with felons ? They had heard oi some of those being 1 drummed out,’as being unfit associates for human kind. Why not get rid of them all, and spare the men of the army from this degrading punishment.” The clause continuing to legalize flogging in the British army and navy was carried, on a division, by the small Government, of three. This is promising. The thin point of the wedge is thus inserted. In a year or two the British soldier will be freed from the lash. At the same time, let us confess that the British army is very low in its morale, and therefore requires sharp discipline, particu larly in time of peace. The rank and file are men too often of the lowest gTade, who enlist attracted by a bounty. The pay is small—only twenty-six cents a day for the infantry, out of which they haveto provide their own food and necessaries, even their clothes, except the outer garments. Honest men, who can earn half a dollar a day by handicraft, or any other labor, avoid the army. Mostly the ranks are filled with idle, skulking fellows —sometimes with cri. minals, who enter them to avoid detection and punishment. The French troops, on the other hand, are drawn by conscription from all ranks of society, and hence have a higher moral tone. Our own army ought to be better, in this respect, than even the French, for it is composed of volunteers as well as ot conscripts, and almost every private sol dier can read and write, whereas the rule is the other way in the British and French armies. Bence, too, from this very culture, such a military punishment as flogging, which degrades the victim to the level of a brute, would not be tolerated in this coun try. An American regiment would never stand by, forming a hollow square, in the midst of which, tied to a triangle, a com rade, ("probably for no heavier crime than having exceeded the limits of sobriety, in action or words, ) was having the flesh tom Off his back, by blows from a whip, (nine whips at'once, rather, ) laid on with skilled severity by relays of drummers. "Yet this is frequently done in England. The German Union Club- We have carefully examined the platform and resolutions adopted by the German Union Club, published elsewhere in our column 8, and pronounce them worthy of all support. They embody radical princi ples; they repudiate all compromise with rebellion or slavery, and advocate the amendment to the Constitution prohibiting slavery ; they deny the dangerous doctrine that in national questions State authority is supdtior to the General Government, and several of their Union propositions are in valuable. The last resolution is especially important, for it denies that the radical German population intends to aid the pre tended Conservative party by refusing to support the candidate of the Baltimore Convention. Some time since we denied, on good au thority, that the action of certain clubs in St. Louis bad anything but a local meaning ing, and predicted that the radical Germans of Pennsylvania would not only decline to sustain an independent candidate, but would steadily avoid forming themselves into a fo reign party. We are glad to have our state ments confirmed by so influential a body as is the German Union Club of Philadelphia. It is an organization which has character and power, and at its head are some of our best citizens. The action of this club is au thoritative, and represents the most intelli gent and influential of the Germans of the State. We have the right, then, to affirm that the threat that the Germans of the United States are resolved to oppose Mr. Lincoln, if he is nominated by the National Convention, and sustain General is simply an idle threat. It is to be noted, too, that the special claim these independent Western clubs have made to radicalism is false; the German Union Club has adopted the boldest and best prin ciples of the Union party, and it is not the less radical because it believes that the only way to defeat Copperheadism is by sustain ing one great Union leader. Henky Wardßbkcher’s address, “Pow er ; the Law of its Distribution,” has never been delivered, and is entirely new. Those who infer from its title that it will notr be a popular lecture are in error, for Mr. Beecher can treat no subject as an abstraction, and would make even an essay on metaphysics practical, interesting, and amusing. LETTER FROM " OCCASIONAL.” Washington, March 29, 1804. Why were the men who constituted the main support of Mr. Buchanan’s criminal and calamitous Administration, and who apologized for and advocated his shameless proscriptions, permitted to direct the pro ceedings of the Democratic State Conven tion recently held in Philadelphia ? This is the question in many intelligent quarters, and the answer is as easy to give as the question is easy to ask. It is because the tried and trusted champions of the Demo cracy in its best days have indignantly cut loose from a perverted organization, and are now cordially acting with the Union party. The efficiency of the element that has sprung from this separation cannot be over-esti mated. It has penetrated and enlightened the daikest recesses of party prejudices, inspired the manliest and boldest policy, and presented examples of the most patriotic magnanimity. When suchmen sunder their relations with a great party, the only way to secure compensation for their loss is for that party to prove its fidelity to its own great principles and pledges. That is the method to b.-ing them back to their allegiance, and to convince the masses how wrong they were to distrust their old party. But how has it been with these leade^g—the refuse of the old leaders of this party—since the rebellion burst upon the land ? Forgetting that to them, and to them and their asso ciates alone, attaches the frightful respon sibility of sustaining an Administration which did everything to encourage the trai tors to begin the war, they furiously attack every independent man who sustains the Government, and transcend all their former outrages by opposing that Government, and by giving political aid and comfort to the bailors.- Untaught by a dreadful expe rience, unaffected by the awful responsi bilities of our rulers and people, and utterly indifferent to the written- and remembered lecoid of the Democratic party, they refuse to contribute even their cheap sympathy to their country, and glory in the lowest and most baleful intrigues against the Federal Administration, which is now, more than ever, the only symbol of Government, snd the only barrier between anarchy and public and private safety. That the State Convention was resolved to make this ap parent to the people, or powerless to resist so fatal an example, is proved by the promi nence given to the hold and reckless men who figured so prominently in the guilty transactions of the last Administration, and in the greater guiltiness of the antagonism to Douglas, the great embodiment of Demo cratic principles, in the last Presidential campaign. Occasional. WASHINGTON. Washington, March 29,1864. The Lake and Mississippi Canal* The President to* day communicated to Congress the report of C B. Stewart, consulting engineer, upon the improvement! to pan gunboata from tide* water to the Western lakes. The engineer assumes that upon the connection of those lakes with tide water depends our common defence as well as general welfare, and that the Mississippi river should likewise be connected with the lakes. He urges that the great food-producing region uses this chain of lakes for transit of exports and imports, which is a line communication at present utterly defenceless, leaving the lake cities to destruotionby English gunboats on a declaration of war by Great Britain, thus inflioting damage to which the cost of the proposed improvements would be utterly insig nificant. He makes various recommendations, and gives as total estimates for improved gunboat looks for the Erie, Oswego, Champlain, and Cayuga and Seneca canals, with seven feet of water, over $lB,- 000,000, and with eight feet of water $20,600,000, and the cost ol a canal around Niagara Falls at from ten to thirteen millions of dollars. Colonel Dahlgreu’s Command* The surgeon of the 2d New IToik Cavalry, who accompanied Colonel Dahlgren, and was taken prisoner, hut now released, states that in the fight at Richmond on Monday afternoon, Colonel Dahl geen’s forces drove the rebel# over t<vo miles and inside the second line of fortifications. We lost five killed and a number wounded, and punished the re* bels severely. The surgeon was left behind to care for the wounded, and was esptured by the 21 North Carolina, into whose lines he rode, supposing them to be out troops. He was taken to Richmond, plaoed in a close cell with Colonel Cook, Colonel Litchfield- who was wounded, as stated—three other offioera, and four negroes. From Colonel Cook, who was at Colonel Dahlgbbk’s tide, he learned that Colonel Dahl gbbn fell from his horse, dead. The rest were ne al ly all The most severe treatment was given to those officers. They were fed on corn-bread and water, and subjected to insults. Ordered to a Command. Lieutenant Commander Samuel Magaw has been ordered to the command of the United States steamer Cambridge. Governor Bramlette and the Draft In Kentucky. Governor Beamlettb and ex-Senator Dixon will leave this afternoon on their return to Ken tucky.

Discipline in the Naval Service. The following order has just been Issued by the Secretary of the Navy: Navy Department, March 22—General Order No. 31 .—Ensigns R. S. Chew and H. J. Blake having bien reported to the Department for going below in their watch, without being regularly relieved, while on du’y on board the United States steam frigate Niagara, (Commodore T. T. Craven, com manding, and Lieutenant Commander Henry Erben, executive tfficer,) theirappointments to the grade or lieutenant, for which they were recently nomi nated to the Senate and confirmed, have been sus pended. For the same offence, the appointments of Aottng Ensigns W. S. Dana, E. F. Harrington, William B. Hoff, and C. Ratbbone,have been revoked, and they have been oxeeied to return to their studies at the Naval Academy at Newport, R. 1., as midshipmen. Acting Ensign H. U. Irvin, -who was also attached to the Niagara, and waa guilty of the offenoe of ovei staring his leave, has been ordered to the United states steamer Glaueus (third rate), with directions that he shall not for six months be permitted to go out of that vessel. ' . . , , The Department cannot admit the plea of ig norance, or that of usage on board the vessels at the Naval Academy, on the part of these officers, who, however young, have been long enough in the service to aspiie to and expect promotion. If they had no other source of Information, they should have leari-ed from the 41 act for the better govern ment of the navy, 44 with which aU persons in the service must' be supposed to be familiar, that to leave his station before regularly relieved 1 * lean offence which subjects the person guilty of iito the pumsbment of death, it must, indeed, be obvious to the most ordinary intelligence, that if an officer cannot be trusted in his watch, he has yet to learn the simplest practical duties of his profession, and is unfitted for a station where the lives of others, as well as the honor ol his country, may depend on hie vigilance and fidelity. The lenient cornse which the department hat adopted in this case has been induced by the con sideration that, although the severe punishment which a court martial would adjudge might be more effectual as a warning, yet the young officers in fault mav. with some reason, plead in extenuation of their offences, that they were not duly admon ished by those whose duty it was to Impress them with a proper sense of discipline, of the sertous na tureanS inevitable const Quences oftbrtr mi.oou duot.

CITY ITEMS. A Gbbat Household Blessing. —lndependent of the great advantages in an economic point of view, oi every family possessing a sewing machine, the fact that it is the highest promoter of health and preserver of lire ever vouchsafed to woman, renders this invention incompsrably the most im portant of this or any former age. Still, general as thlß praise applies to Sewing Machines as a whole, there are points of difference between the various machines in the marhet that are of the utmost im portance to buyers. For tMfamUy purposes, for ex ample, the popular Grover & Baker instrument, sold at 730 Chestnut street, is unquestionably the brat. It not only performs a greater variety of work, with the greatest neatness and durability, but it accomplishes what no otter Scoring Machine attempts, prominent among which is 'its capacity tor fine EsumoiDEßv. The Grover & Baker machine, we may state, has taken the highest premium over all competitors wherever it has been exhibited. The Stitching Booms now connected with the Agency are a great publio convenience, as the saw ing there done, being executed on the Grover & Baker instruments, is superior to all others ia strength and elegance ol finish. MAGHincBHT Stock op Sptiisfl Clothing. — Mes.n- C. Somers & Son, No. 625 Chestnut .treat, under Jayne’. Hall, have thl. leason greatly in. creased their faciiltie* for meeting the want, of the public in the way of elegant fashionable Clothing. Their importation, are not only the largeet that they have ever made, and the moat exquisite in se lection, but their increased force of the most ta lented cutteis in Ihe country, and their determi nation not to he outdone by any rival eetabllehment in the United States, oannot fill to secure for them a very large increase of patronage. We have had an advance glimpse of their elegant stock, which will be formally opened on the Ist of April, and can commend it to- gentlemen of taate as eminently worthy of their attention. The "Floksnce ” Sewing Machine is the only machine erer given to the public that baa risen to the highest place in the popular estimation on its own merits. It was long known to a few that the <> Florence ” machine possessed advantages superior to any other Sewing Machine In the market, but the inability of the-Company to meet the popular demands kept them from extending their facilities ror selling. This difficulty is now, however, over come, and with the opening of the splendid new Agenoy of the Florenee Company, at 630 Chestnut street; a new era hae dawned upon the Sawing Maohine trade of Philadelphia. Already they are selling more machine* than any other single estah liihment In the United States, and 11 the cty is still they come." A part of tms enormous demand arises from the fact that many persons are selling oat their other machines for the purpose of baying the Flo rence instead. Sensible idea! Future Prospects. —No man can fully discern the future. But among the most probable tilings that are not absolutely known is the prediction that, for years to come, the best and cheapest Coal in Phi ladelphia will be sold at 835 North Ninth street, the yard of the popular Coal dealer of this city, Mr. W. W. Alter. Everybody is pleated with his Coal. The 11 Prize Medal” Shibt, invented by Mr. John F. Tsggert, and sold by Mr George Grant, 6XO Chestnut street, is, without exception, the beat shirt of the age, in fit, comfort, beauty, and dura bility. Hii stock of Gentlemen** Furnishing Goods, of his own exeluslve manufacture and Im portation, is also the eholoest in the city, and his prices are moderate. Opening Dat.—We are Informed that the enter prising Millinery house of Wood & Cary (125 Chest nut street)! will have their grand annual opening of spring bonnets on Thursday, the Slst met. The-dis play wiU fully sustain the previous reputation of this well known house, and ouf Philadelphia ladies will not let this opportunity pass, as the Arm are making extraordinary preparations to give the ut most satisfaction. Eabter Monday.— Easter Monday waa observed as a holiday. The weather was fine, and crowds of promenaders Ailed the streets. The ladies looked smiling and happy, while their attendant beaux pre sented an admirable appearanoe, particularly where they were attired in apring suits procured at the Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Kookhlil A. Wilson, Nos. 60S and 605 Chestnut street, above Sixth. The most gallant-looking all wear apparel made at this famous establishment. Why is there not a committee appointed by Con gress to "buy a broom” to present to Mr. Roebuck, M. Pi, bo as to enable him to “ sweep the Federal shipping from the seas!” Truly, Mr. Roebuck wants to make a clean thing of It—that Is, the osean. After that is done we hope be will be employed by the city to sweep the streets, as IKtl would be com. paratlvely a light job. Roebuck, If you want a good working suit of Clothes, apply to Oi atlMj Stokes ht Co., under theSontinental, and you willbe suited. Good Advion “In reading authors, when you And Blight passages, that strike your mind, And which, perhaps, you may have reason To think ol at another season. Be not contented with the sight, But take them down in black and white; By mob respect you may be taught Where the best clothing: oan be bought.” Granville Stokes, Fashionable Clothier, No. 600 Chestnut street, is selling his superb stock at greatly leduced prices. Economy should be fbaoticed by everybody In all thlnge. One dollar expended now in pur chasing a bottle of Jayne's Expectorant, by those troubled with a slight cough or hoarseness* or sore throat, may save the expense of a doctoi’x Mil. A neglected cough often endain eonsumptUKV A slight Inflammation of the lining of the wind tubes, the usual symptoms of which are a tore throat and a pain in the bseast, will soon lead, through want ol at tention, to bronchitis. A day’s delay may enttll months of suffering. Lit the aStlctml try at once Jayne’s Expectorant. It is a standard remedy, and i’a turative properties have been tested by thousands of persons who have recovered their health by its Use. The Expectorant and' all of Dr. D. Jayne fe Son’s Family Medlotnea are prepared only at No. 243 Chestnut street. mhaa-mwai Cohns, Bunions, Invested Nails, Enlaugud Joints, and all diseases ol the feet, cured without pain or inoonvenlense to the patient, by Dr. Eaoha rle, Surgeon Chiropodist, 921 Chestnut street.
