Hale, Senator from New .Hampshire is one of the most intensely loyal Abolitionists in the country, and is, besides an occasional lecturer upon public and private morality. Last session, on one occasion he wept quite copiously over the degeneracy of the times, observ ing that out* institutions were in more danger from .corruption in our public servants, than they were from the rebels ; in arms. In fact the New Hampshire Senator was quite equal to Pecksniff in his lamentations over the decline ot pub He virtue iif high places. From recent developments, however, it appears that Hale, in his dissertation upon the degen eracy of the times, web only speaking in a pickwikian sense indalgingin one of bis accustomed bits of pleasantry. It turns out that this same wag of a U. S. Sen ator waa not long since engaged in secur ing tbe release from a common jail of a person charged with having oommitted a crime against the Government. For this little service he received the comfortable sum of three thousand dollars. Hale's justification is that he was acting as an Attorney and not qs a Senator in this business, which we consider another of his jokes; for who in the name of Black stone ever heard of a three thoosand ‘dollar retainer, in such a case as the one in question. It was the Senator who was engaged; hia influence us a Senator, not hia limited ability as an Attorney was what was required to rescue a fellow from punishment who stood charged with having committed a seriore crime against the Government. It was his political and not his legal influence which was wanted; it was to keep the accused clear of the court that Mr. Hale wbb employed. He obtained the money the culprit goes clear. For such an act, twenty years ago, a Senator would have becu expelled forthwith. Now we suppose that Mr. Hale will continue to favor arbitrary arrests, the suspension of tho h-abeas corpus, and all soch measures, and will thea slip arcund by eome back door to liberate in pri vate those whom he denounces in public HEENAN AND KINO. Yesterday’s Commercial editorially al luding to tbe refusal of eome of the fancy to give up bets made apon Eeenan re marks : ‘ ‘At any rate, nothing will bo done in the way of {settlement until Heenan himself.- aud bis friends on the other side, can be officially heard from. In all the grog genes about town “the mill" continues to be the eole topic of conversation. Even the recent advance in tbe price of liquorß, from six to ten cents per horn, is lost sight of. 1 This last sentence, about the advance of “nips" from six to ten cents each, sheds a great deal of light upon many things, heretofore unac-cn-ictable, wkirh have appeared in the editorials oi tlu Commercial. The queer things it printed about its “gifted minds;" its incoherent aud mazy lucubrations about nepotism, and its muddy definitions the other day, of Government demonstrated that there was a screw lose somewhere. But ft is ail exprainea, suucg t rct potations have done their work. Nor will the rise from “six cents to ten" we fear prevent our estimable tut weak neighbor from indulging in potations pot tle deep. ■‘Cb! that a man should pu; an enemy ir. his mouth To steal away his brains." GOOD NEWS Fft Oil THE ARMY, Although wo have no visitors to an nounce, we have wbat is almost as good, thedetormination of our veteran troops to reinlist for another term of three years. It is reported upon good authority that two thirds of the Army of the Potomac have accepted the bounty and furloughs tendered there is reason to be lieve that the same is true, of Generals Grant’s army. The nation i 3 thus in sured against the possibility of the dis bandment of any of the divisions of our veteran armies. We say divisions, be cause the organizations of onr grand armies are yet safe, as not over one fourih of the troops now in the field will bo en titled to their discharge daring the comiDg year. The men who are re-enlißtiDg are those who volunteered during tho first year cf the war. It speaks well for onr military service that so many men who entered the army during a period of gen eral enthusiasm and excitement, should be willing to remain in it after three years hard Bervice had dissipated all the romance there was connected with life in the tented field. These re-enlistments may have some thing to do with enforcement of the draft on the 6th of Janaary. The ostensible reason for the call for volunteers was to fill np the gaps in the ranks of our armies caused by tho expiration of the term of enlistment of so many of our Boldterß. it the soldiers generally re enlist the admin istration may conclude that a draft will not be necessary, especially in view of the fact that over a hundred thousand volun teers will have been secured by the time a draft was to have taken place. OKS. OBAST FOB PRESIDENT. The New York Herald pitches into the oounlr/ pross for objecting to its candi date lor President. Oar neighbor of the Commercial comes in for the following share: “The Pittsburgh Commercial , another mean little paper, published in a smoky little town, and apparently verymuch be fogged, speake of General Grant’s fame as a ‘mere momentary or superficial prom inence.’ The Commercial has evident ly not yet heard of Vioksbnrg and Chat tanooga, and when the news of those sub lime military exploits reaches Pittsburgh the foggy little paper will sing a differ ent tnoe.” TERRIBLE BiUROAII ACCIDENT. Fonr Peraoiu* Hilled and Fifteen Wounded. The Washington Chronicle learns that about six o'clock ou Saturday evening, tbe train from Brandy Station ran off the embankment at Bristow Station, destroy ing several yards of the track, the locomo tive, and four cars, besides killing four men and wounding fifteen. At tbe time of the accident, the train was moving at the rate of at least 20 miles an hour. At Briatow Station, where there is a switch, the track is in bad condition. Within eighty yards ot the scene of the accident is a bridge of considerable size, which must have given way had the train pro ceeded farther, thus rendering certain the loss of at leasfrone hundred lives. It is stated as tike cause of the catastto- pbe, that the switch haviog become nn moveable farther than to a certain point, the person whose duty it waa to change it ran up the track towards the coming train and attempted to stop it; but being unprovided w.th either lantern or toroh, hiß efforts were fruitless. « The following are of the kill ed and wounded :—% -V Killed. — Robinson, citizen of Philadelphia, andYormerly a lieutenant in the 121st Penns. t volunteers.

They were all doing well. LATF. EUROPEAN NEWB. Laaocli of nn Iron-Cla<l. An important addition was made on Dec. 12 to the Royal Navy by the launch of the armor cased screw steam-frigate Minotaur, at the premised of the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company, Blackwell. The Minotaur is of the same **ize and class as the Agincourt, now building for the Government by Messrs Laird of Birkenhead, and the Northum berland, building at Millwall. The fol lowing are the dimensions of the veeßel • Length between perpendiculars, 400 ft. extreme breadth, 59 ft. 4 in.; burden in tens, builders' measurement, G,812. Her ■ engines are of 1,350 horse power, and are iully calculated to perform a speed of 14 kucia an boor, nothwithstanding the immense nzc and weight of the vessel. Her armor plates are 6$ inches thick, >.»r one inch thicker than in vessels of the Warrior class, and her backing is compos ed ot 1 inch teak limber. The armor of the Warrior extends only over a length of 212 feet, the entire length of that vea r-el beii'g Jr'> feet; but the Minotaur will D° compiru-ly irt'U-ciad from stem to aieru, leaving no part of the vessel unpro tected. About one-third of her armor nus already been bolted to her sides. Her armament will consist of 6*> gnus of large calibre, the descnpMon of which has not yet beeu determined on, the Admiralty now being engaged in carrying out exper iments on board the Excellent gunnery ship, 'n order to ascertain the efficiency cf 300 pounder rilled, 15“ pounder round shot, aud other guns for arming meoof fror, o,oA ala© «n imnroved anDaratns which has been invented for the purpose ot working these large guns with ease and efficiency in the naval service. Tbe M’ooaur has been fitted for the reception, when necessary, for a powerful ram at her eteci. Th,- Smaalilni; Power* of the Arm strong «oo Pounder From the London Timon "I he - mashing powers of Sir William Armstrong's 600-pounder shnnt-gnn were tested on Friday (Dec. 11,) at Shoebnry Dess against the Warrior boating target. The target is an exact counterpart of a section of the Warrior’s side, and meas ures 13 feet long by 10 feet in bight, It is constructed of iron plates of the best homogenous metal, 4i inches thick, bolt ed to a backing of teak 13 inches in depth. Behind this come two sets of jj inch plates, rivited to massive ribs of f iron—the whole being shored np by slanting beams of fir ol immense thick ness. The target was moored at 1,000 yards distance from the firing poinls of the GOO BDd 300 pounder Armstrongs, and wooden tarkets for ascertaining the cor rect elevation for this range floated close by, a little clear of the iron one. The first shot from “Big Will” was a dummy oast-iron shell, weighing 600 pounds, and was leveled with each uner ring aim ot the wooden target as to smash it literally to powder. The elevation of the piece in this instance was 2= 6 , and the charge of .0 pounds. The next shot waß a steel shell, wilh a cast iron-bead, weighing 610 pounds, and containing 24 pounds ol powder, which is only four fifths of its normal charge. Before firing this shot a consultation’took place among the artillerists present ae to the elevation to be given, it having been discovered that the woodeu target demolished by the first, shot had been moored at 1,020 yards instead of 1,000, as had been origi nally intended. After some discussion, the gun was fired at 29= 10' elevatiop, the shell passing just over the top of the target a little to tho right of the central iine. The next two shots—live steel shells similar in all respects to No. 2—demon strated in a most surprising way the won derful accuracy of the gun in obeying tbe Brightest change in elevation. For shot No. 3 the piece was depressed to 2= 3', the shell passing through the exact center of the top of the target, and carrying away a piece of the wood framing of a semi circular shape. The fourth shot was fired at only 3 less elevation, and struck the target as near the center as possible, making daylight through it, and exploding at the very moment ot impact. A hole 2ft. by 20in. yawned in the 4*in. plate, level with and a few inches on the left of the bull a eye The teak backing was splintered into fragments from the size of the cccoanut to the merest fiber, and the 4 3, p.fttesacd onft ol the ribs were com pletely torn away like so much paper In front, below the hole, there lay a huge rnase of iron plate, weighing three or four hundred weight, and looking like a piece of crumpled b ack rag. The plate above the one which was pierced was started from its place and bulged outward, nearly the whole ot the Lolls hoiding it to the target being broken away. In tact, ail present allowed that sinoe ■he great, battle ol gun versns plate had began to be waged, there had never been such a complete triumph tor the former combatant, At first it had been intend ed to Iry the effects of the 600 pounder upon the Warrior target at 2,000 yards, bnt the first blow al 1,000 yards so disabled it as to render a new target necessary. On returning to the firiDg point the .300 jounder was next tried —lour shots being tired; bnt owipg to several causes only one of them took effect, striking the right top corner of the plate, and smashing but not penetrating it, owing to the target having seen slewed around to an angle of nearly 40 degrees with the line ot fire by the fourth shell from “Big Will.” This con cluded the firing for the day.

The remains are expected this day, due notice will be given for the funeral.
