We ought to have a respectable naval force, Instead of a war fleet which is a public disgrace. There was no telling when we would be involved in foreign complies tions.

Washington, Feb. 23 —Since the late war a few states—for instance, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts and Marylaml—have maintained a military system under the state legislation and the militia laws of the United States, which has not only been a credit to the military spirit and patriotism of their people, but hss constituted the osly organised force in addition to the skeleton notional military establishment, which could be relied upon for immediate active service In event of a sudden tumult or invasion. There have been repeated attempts in congress to secure more liberal co-operation on the part of the government in the direction of militia organ isatiou and military instruction, but without succesi. Whether Pri ce Bismarck's treatment of the Lasker resolutions of the bouse of representatives has had anything to do with rekindling the moldering embers of military enthusiasm does not appear, but the senate, with remarkable unanimity, has just passed a bill, reported from the committee on military affairs, to increase the annual appropriation to provide arm a for the militia. Cairo, Feb. 28.—The advance on the English troops on Teb began before daybreak. Two handred and fifty men were left to garrison Trinkitat, and a force of 8,500 men advanced to the attack.

He had been ailing for some time, but tho symptoms were not, considered alarming until a fortnight ago, when he grew so ill that he wns t bliged to take his bed: He sank rapidly in spite of the efforts of his physicians.

Washington, Feb. 28.—Mr. Do Strove, the Russian minister, called on Secretary Frelinghuysen this morning anil read to him the following telegram from the minister for foreign affairs of Russia: "The senator from Missouri" he exclaimed, "had better call a spade a spade; hs had bet ter state in plain E 'glish the real cause of Ids opposition to this bill. I will state it for 'he senator. It is because he has no faith in Dhe honesty of the present administration of the navy department." Remarkable at it may a|Dp»ar, the distribution of arms to the militia, even at this late lay, Is baaed on an anuielit act, of date April, 1808. In other words, the wants of a sparsely inhabited and undeveloped region of seventeen states and 8,040,000 people have bee'I accepted as the basis of supply of the requirements of the militia force of a great nation of thirty-eight states and 50,000,000 of people. The amount now allotted to this purpose U bnt $200,000, and without any means of apportioning the appropriation among the states,'without any requirements for accountability for the property furnished or limitation on the disposition that the states may make of it. Nor does the present law allow the furnishing of tents or othei •-tides necessary to provide for camps of instruction. It is charged by the committer on military affairs that to these omissions in the law is largely due the disparity between the different states in the strength and efficiency of the militia. They diverted themselves of shoes and stockings and waded bare legged through ■ ho morasses which lie between tlie harbor and the mainland. The distanoe to the fort is about four miles. It was built February 2, to protect the guns while crossing the morasses.
