' Thoy are:. Mosers. Philip J.,A., son. of James; Fletch rr, Jr., son of Fletcher; Joseph W., Jr., aon of J., Wesley; John W. and Joseph Abner, sons ol' John. All of these have been trained in tho business. ' -Tlie North German navy is being rapidly increased. Last year the Parliament voted $6,700,000 to bo exclusively applied for the con? struction of the navy and building the coast defences. The expenditure of this sum, raised by loan, was to be distributed over several years, but the necessary works have proved so extensive that a new loan of $3.900,000 has been asked for. -From lato English exchanges we learn that the Preston cotton strike is likely to go on. The masters generally insist upon the adoption of tho wheel system, and the men' are equally determined to resist lt. This step will greatly extend the dimensions of the struggle, and froiri six thousand to seven thousand weavers, in addition to those previously but, will, be added to the large number idle, unless some of . the masters withdraw the ''Blackburn wheel.'' -We learn from Berlin that a Prussian offi? cer who was io the Confederate service during .our war, and who was on duty at Charleston, Taas communicated to the Prussian Govern? ment tho secret of the construction of the tor? pedo of American invention, whioh was found Very serviceable in the defence of Charleston harbor. Experiments were lately made at Kiel with this particular torpedo, in the pr?s? enos of naval and military officers designated - ' by the government and they were peifeotly suc .??a sf ul, as they blew a vessel, which had been prepared tor the purpose, ail to pieces. The ofBcor (Yon Scbeliha) who communicated the secret, bas received an appointment on the -v staff of the Prussian service. Jt^.i^-Theloss of the Pacific Mail steamship Her? rmann, with two hundred lives, has been alta ded to in our dispatches. Captain Newell states that when the vessel was about seventy-five salles from Yokohama he discovered breakers . Ikhead and ordered the helm "bard a port." - I -The ship at onoe answered the movement of the holm, but was caught by a tremendous roller and thrown With great violence upon the - Tocks, striking first forward and then aft, - When raised by the following swell. Succes? sive seas breaking upon the ship with great. Tiolenoe forced her Over the reef, the water flll 1 ng the ship, meanwhile, rapidly. Three boats . Were lowered and filled with passengers, but - ?hb heavy sea soon swamped them ail. About . midnight one of the funnels fell forward upon the hurricane deck, causing loss of life to a - ; ' number of people .collected there. Before tho chimney fell, the foremast had gone. The sea reaching the hurricane deck, broke up tho ? : Whola of it forward, but the after portion float? ed off almost entire, and remained in this way alongside, and soo-nod to save' forty or fifty people. Borne of tho people were washed off ?romo tried to sane themselves.pta pieces of the . floating wreck.'. The boats being mostly life - - boats, although swamped, still floated, and were .? washed into tho small bay by the surf, and ,1m those persons who clung to them, were saved, Captain Newell speaks very highly of the con? duct of the Japanese on board. When dis ship ?truck these brave men, suddenly roused from sleep by the awful crash, seemed to compre? hend their situation in a moment. No stem . pedo; no darder. From tho first they were quiet and cool, retaining wonderfully their presence of mind, and1 calmly awaiting the .commands of their lesdor. -T-A oass Ot inhumanity occurred in a beaut? ful New England village recently, whioh it would seem difficult to parallel. On the night of the 4th of March last there was a terrific .now slonn in Vermont. The snow piled in heaps, the roads were made impassable, and tbs Green Mountains were whitened to an onor , mons depth. Upon the afternoon preceding .neb a night, an overseer of the poor in a small town near Beacham turned a family of paupers,' ?widowaged seventy-four years, an unmar? ried daughter aged thirty-five, a little child ?ged eight years, and a lad belonging to th? family, ont upon the high road, and bade thom 'begone to some other town, ?there a relative had offered them shelter. They plodded along matu overtaken by the storm. At ons cottage at the foot of the mountain tbev were ref*?wi smelter; at another further np they were A^ain refused admittance, and in striving to reaoh the"third and last they all perished, and when the storm cleared away and the .roads were broken ont their frozen bodies were discovered. Marks of the struggle Ahoy made for life were evident, ths lad having reached within twelve feet of the window of the last house, and his dying cry for help sven was heard but unheeded, tbs reason being given *batit was not recognized aa a human voice. Ia the fuuorul sjrinon that waa preaohed over the bc tl ios of these unhappy paupers tboso facts wore related, aDd tho indignation is said to have boen general. Bnt tho agony ofthat Dight can hardly bo counterbalanced by oom fortablo indignation over tho.victims of reitera? ted refosal o? a little rest and warmth, nor is tho shallow excuso that tho cottage* where the refusal were made aro occupied by foreigners ?ny palliation of the heartlessness. Poor, old, weak and forsaken, they froze to death on a New England mountainside because Now Eng? land cottages were closed to thom on a night when it would have been inhumanity to have repulsed ? dog. "Rattle his bohea over the stones," ?fee. There are foor paupers less for Radical Vermont to support. ?HARLE S T ON. MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 26, 1869. A Plea tor tho Southern Hn.nlica.ls. The musical peaoe festival which is ad- ' vertis?d to take place in Boston, Mass., in 1 July, next, would do a noble work if it :< oould establish oonoord between the warring ' Radicals in Congress, and harmonize into .' one grand whole the wail of the di sap- .' pointed placo hunter and the io triumphe ! 1 which welcomes the return tc the Hub of ' the successful, candidate for office. The 1 baton whioh cab direot the mingled bleat? ing, braying and roaring of hundreds of *] sopranos, tenors and basses, should be able .' to oontrol a refraotory politician; and the genius whioh suggested the performance of 1 "the national air of our oounlry sympho- 1 "nied by salvos of artillery, discharged by 1 "electricity at the waive of the accomplished 1 "oonoeiver of this wonderful speotaole," 4 ought not to find any difficulty in the way of \ hushing the great guns of debato, or at 1 least of converting their sullen roar into a f symbol of approval of President Grant and 1 his administration. This would, indeed, J be a great national work, entitling the sue- 1 oessful operator to the same reward whioh < is bestowed by the new President on blood 1 relations, marital connections and personal 1 friends, as well aa donors of houses, lands 9 and riohly embroidered boots. ; ) It was not to be expected that the lion of '* Rhode Island would always lie down in ? peace by the lamb of North Carolina, nor f was it expected that every senator Would * be satisfied with the division of official 8 spoils. D'Alembert once complained that I men so exhausted their industry In obtain? ing plaoe that they had none left for the 8 discharge of their duties. This, however, ?? is net tho case with the Senate of the Uni- 1 ted States, at least in discharging their f duty of obtaining as muoh profit as possible 8 for themselves and their friends. Senator 1 Trumbull sayB that the ante rooms of the 8 departments are crowded with members of . ^ Congress seeking little appointments, which ? I Senator Fessenden calls "a matter of taste, 11 "not principle." And certain it ia that 8 af the 45,000 oflioes in the gift of the Pres- * [dent, there is not one for whioh tkere has a not been a long list of applioants. Un for- * Lunately there can be but one inoumbent for ,i aach plaoe. For every man mads happy a 8 so ors are mads mia?rable; and the ways of * the defeated are not those of pleasantness 1 and peaoe. As the oflioes are filled the 1 hubbub increases and the excitement grows ? r more intense. An escape valve was nee es- * sary, and it has been found in the long de-- .* bate which took plaoe in the Senate on Wed- n aeaday, upon a motion mads for the prepar- * ation of a report showing the way in whioh 8 the Federal offices were distributed among v the several States. e This resolution was stoutly supported hy 0 3enator Abbott, of North Carolinas who said n that the distribution of official patronage d should be made as nearly as practicable ac cording te representation and population, and that to confino patronage to any par- ^ tionlar. portion of the States, or seotions, ? either wholly or partly, was injurious and unjust. Senator Fessenden admitted that there was a perfeot scramble to see how ^ many persons could get into office, and that ^ rae modern prinoiple waa that the office was fe nade for th? Individual and not for the good >f the State. Of course. And who should * tn?w this batter than a Radical senator like ^ be bellicose Abbott. But Senator Fassen- ^ len still thought that experienced and' edu- ^ jeted men should not be t urned out in order ^ ihat ignorant and inexperienced men night se appointed in their stead, 1 ?enator Cam- ? ?ron growled at the way in Whioh! the ap? pointments wore made, Senator Wilson fol? io wed in the same vein, and Senator Abbott o ?gain de ol ar e d that ' none of the States ought " to be ignored. This brought up Senator " lawyer, of South. Carolina, whose words " went Straight to the mark. What hie views ,[ were may be ?summed up thus : The good of n the public servici? should bs considered ;? tirol; bat elaine of the reconstructed States '?' had riot been recognized, and they want a " national policy welcoming them back with f open arms, oo that they might re?oive sver ry thing in the way of patronage whioh j they catt reasonably demand. "Our ene- " "miss tell uS in the South," said Mr. Saw- ? yer, "that we represent nobody, abd when ? "wc ooma hers we ars told the charges " "which the rebels make are true, namely : " "You represent nobody, and must, there? " "for?, expect te be ignored. And ii had 'J "been said by persons in high position, -~, "Yon must recollect that the white vote in -I "your States was a small affair. Had it A "oems to this that any memWs of the Ro "publioon party which had declared for the v "political equality of all mon, without re- ?, "gard to race or previous condition of ser* "vitude, should speak to him in this man- ti "uer ?bout the white Tote of the South ? ?J "All these States gave a majority of votes ' ?'in favor of the administration; and were < j "they to be tdld they should have less pitt- ,j? "ronage that tho Demooratio State of Ken ?tosky r? This is plain talking, and it expresses the deas of the Radical party of South Caro? ma. They want ft national policy which ff i hall give them every offioo which they can reasonably demand. This is their due; be- _ taus? they suffered ead starr sd while the / ST orthern Radical, lived on the fat of the ^ and, end because of the little Urne that is efl them in which to grew rich. During the war and the earlier periods >f reconstruction, the Radicals of the North md West had everything their own way. * Phey absorbed, fte ft sp?nge would do, \ the fatness of the land and the fullness thereof, and it is but right that they should be squeezed now for tho sake of the South? ern Radical. Where were the Southern Radicals while their Northern brethren were fattening abroad or arranging whis? key rings at home ? Where were they ? Some of them were in jail in their native New England. Others were hoeing corn and picking cotton under a Southern sun. Others were driving wagons in the Federal Hcrvico, some few were bomb-proof offioers in the Confederate army-the meanest devils of them all-and others we y shoe? makers, tailors, blacksmiths, or of no pro? fession but lying and stealing. Not one of them was an honest and industrious work? ing man, whose elevation would have hon? ored his c'-.a*. They were worthless in what they were nominally doing, and all that waa left them was to take a share in controlling the government-it being un? derstood that there was no objection to small pay if the perquisites were handsome. These men suffered horribly. They had no respect and no consideration at home, whether that home was North or South. Ihe hand of every man was against them and their hand was against every man behind his back. Surely, then, they should be rewarded, and well rewarded ! And, besides, the Southern Radical must make finanoial nay while shines the official sun. Under no circumstances but those which made well-nigh every respectable man in the South ineligible to hold office, obuld he hope to obtain a place. As soon is the white people of the South again con? trol their own affairs, the Southern Radi? cal's chance of obtaining a fat place will be gone forever. Must he not, then, be re horseless in pushing his claims for an office, ind unscrupulous in turning his opportu? nities to a good purpose ? And if it is said hat the Southern Radieal represents no >ody, how easy it is to prove the wickedness >f the assertion. Take South Carolina, for nstance. At the Presidential election at east 1000 whit e men voted for Grant whioh, ks there arv only about 50*000 qualified vhite voter? in the State, proves the popu arit y of Republicanism and of Radical want if principle. So the members of Congress rom South Carolina do represent somebody ?esides the colored people, and their con t itu en ts ought to enjoy all the s weeta of dace. Indeed, taking into consideration the good ervioe whioh the Southern States (ae re one truoted) have done, and are expected 0 do, the Radical party, it would bo only ttir that for four years, at least, they hould have all the best offices, and New England none. The Southern Radical has uffered and should be rewarded. The 1 ou tho rn Radical has not many months of lower, and should be allowed to make the lost of them. The Southern Radical has aved New England Radicalism-from coming o grief before Us time, and should receive s'a reward all the patronage that New ?ngland venturos- to claim. It is hoped, ben, that all the Southern senators will tahd up for their right? andi not submit to ie bullied by either Massachusetts vt Rhode .land. They must stick teoaeh other and to heir constituents, and appoint as many igno ant c olor ed men to office os possible. And if bis breeds amy dissension jn the party let hem oall ?pon the managers of the Boston msioal festival to play "Yankee Doodle" nd "Hail Columbia," until the angry pas ions cease to rise and the only aim of the rhole cohort is the greatest good and great st profit of the greatest number of Radi? als. Then may they live together in har? mony until the coming of the inevitable ay whioh will witness Our joy and their mentation.

Tata New York Times does not relish the idea f a war with England. It says: "We concur iu the general view of the ease presented by Mr. Sumnor m his recent speech. But we confess we do not see how even on that basis friendly negotiations are to be easily opened between tho two governments, for an adjust? ment of differences. The tenor and tendency of that speech is toward ?rar, rather than a peaceful settlement. And Senator Chandler's proposition in the Senate ls unquestionably and avowedly in that direction. The para? mount object iu both cases is to com pol Eng? land to do what will most humiliate her, in 'sat ls Fae ti on of the wrongs she has done us. This cannot be done by negotiation.
