The Treasurer of the Macon and Bruns wick Railroad, G. E. Stockbridge, Esq., has been promoted to the Secretaryship of the company, and Mr. F.

The weather has been unusually hot and dry for more than two weeks, and this being the most critical portion of the season with cotton, it has been seriously injured. Many of the half-grown bolls are dryiug np and falling off, and it is thought by some that the crop has been cut short fully one-third on this account.

The Loss of the Captain. DIMENSION’S AND ARMAMENT OF THE VESSEL —THE FATAL DEFECTS. One of the largest and most powerfully armed ships of the British Navy has just gone down with all her complement of 500 men. Apart from any other explanation, we are entitled to suppose that the Captain •Ms sunk off Finisterre because of certain defects in her construction, which compe tent judges pronounced fatal—defects which have lately formed the subject of an acrimonious newspaper controversy be tween her builders, Laird Brothers, End the Chief Constructor of the British Navy, E. J. Heed. Captain Coles, the designer of this and of the other British war ships constructed on the turret principle, has gone down along with the latest and most unfortunate evidence of his skill. The history of the Captain is briefly this: In April, 1860, “ the Admirality decided to give Captain Coles the opportunity of re ducing to practice his own views of what a sea-going turret cruiser should be.” The conditions under which she was to be de signed and built were these : That provision should be made for the efficient protection of the vital parts of the ship from heavy shot. For the health and comfort of a crew sufficient in number, not only to work the guns, but to work the ship with ease, and to keep her in the order required for an efficient ship-of-war. That she should have sufficient speed, and that she should possess the sea going qualities of a good cruiser.” The result was a vessel, regarding whom, her builders furnish the following figures: Tonnage 4,272 Displacement, tons 7,t30 Area ol midship section, feet .. 1,185 Nominal horse-power 900 Indicated horse-power 5,989 Speed, knots 14,239 Square*. s l Week. I K 2 Week* \ “ 3 Week*. I ► > 1 Mouth. I 2 Moult*. js Month* ■' 4 Mouth*. ’ 6 Months 5 '|6 Month*. II She was fully plated, her armor being, on the important parts, eight, inches thick! She carried in her turrets four 25-ton guns, capable of throwing 600-pound shot. For bow and stern fire she carried single 7*l nch guns forward and aft. She was heavily masted, in addition to her great en gine power and her pair of screws, and it was claimed that while on her trial cruise she could tack “ under sail on a circle round a supposed antagonist” as handily as one of the old style of wooden frigates The same observer described her mode of af tack as follows: “She covers her battery of guns and clears her enemy’s decks at the same lime by the continuous fire from the breech loaders of her small-arm men, who are snugly sheltered behind the hammock breastworks surrounding the upper deck above the turrets and in the tops. In every part of this treble-sided arrangement of men in the turrets, men on the upper deck as sail-trimmers, and men on the upper deck and in the tops as small-arm men, there is no confusion.” Yet with all the favorable reports of friendly critics, the Captain was pro nounced a failure by the chief practical authority of the Bitish Navy. The, most conclusive facts against her wore that she had been made 800 to 900 tons too heavy, and that thus she floated two feet deeper than was intended. The Messrs. Laird did not attempt to deny the miscalculation of weight—gross as it must appear 1o anyone conversant with naval architecture—but attempted to shield themselves under the actual results she had achieved in point of speed and manoeuvring. They adduced the testimony of an Admiral to the follow ing effect : “ The Captain is a most formidable ship, and could, I believe, by her superior arma ment, destroy all the broadside shins of this squadron in detail. * * * She is very easy in seaway, and can use her guns in any sea in which an action is likely to be fought. * * * She can be cleared for action in five minutes. * * * There is much comfort and accommodation on board; officers and ship’s company are well berthed.” Mr. Reed brings the report of another Admiral in rebuttal, and, in view of the Captain’s actual fate, it reads very much like a prophecy: “ The weak point in tin- Captain seems to be tlie absence of direct fore and aft fire, particularly ahead. A vessel armed jis the Captain cannot advance end-on in line abreast with other ships, and (ire sljol in advance without danger of collision. The lowness of freeboard exposes her to plung ing fire through the decks, at the base of ti e turrets, from ahead, ast rn, diagonally and abeam. Tin* machinery of the turrets is thus, in my opinion, endangered. The masting is much overdone beyond the strength of her employment (500), and in terferes very much with her steaming head lo wind. The spare spars are preparations for a bonfire ; studding sails and their gear a great encumbrance and unnecessary. The wreck of snch large masts falling might he fatal, by stopping the turrets or masking theii fire. The mizzen-mast is a standing menace to the two screws, and should at once be removed. On a wind, under sail, only, the ship can do little or nothing to windward. The hurricane deck and boats seem to me iu much danger of de struction by fire in action. ’ Such has been the ominous controversy that has been waged over the ill-fated Captain, and it is to be feared that her loss will more than justify the severest re flections that have been cast upon her de signer and builders. That every soul on board seems to have perished with her is a melancholy commentary on the construc tion of such floating engines of havoc aud slaughter that prove as fatal to their in mates as to the objects of their attack. During the war we had more than one in stance of how certain death was to the crew of a sunk monitor, and with all her preposterous combination of- the cruiser with the monitor, the Captain could scarce ly fail to be equally infallible in the drown ing of the men under her armor-plated decks. We have supped so full of horrovs during the last few weeks that 500 men seems but a slender tale of slaughter; but a peaceful tragedy like this has in some thing more terrible than the ravages of actual war. And more especially is this stf when we read the accusation against her builders, penned a fortnight ago: “ The ship’s capabilities arc impaired by this miscalculation; her stability is compro mised, and her guns brought so near the water that it was found desirable, the first time she went down the channel, to turn her turrets in a particular position, in or der to enable the gunners to load without being deluged by the sea.” CAPTAIN COLES. Captain Cowper Phipps Coles, R. N, wa-i one of the most eminent naval archi tects and constructors of. Great Britain, strictly in reference to ships of war with the most recent improvements perhaps the most eminent. He was the sou of a clergy man, served on various home and foreign stations, and was on board the Agamem non in the Crimean war, where he was honorably mentioned in general orders both at Sebastopol and in the minor opera tions, particularly those in the Sea of Azov. Captain Coles suggested to his superior officers a mode of protecting guns and float ing batteries by shields and plated para pets. His suggestions, though imperfect, were taken up for investigation, and hur ried through as rapidly as the notoriously Slow official processes of the British Ad miralty would admit. He meanwhile laid •*he matter before Sir I. K. Brunei, the great engineer, and that quick intellect instantly saw the applicability of the railroad turn table ; this was improved by Coles into the capote tmd revolving tnrret, and ip 1862 Captain Coles had the constrnetfiJh *of the Royal Sovereign, the first of the great British tnrreted iron-clads, on which have been modelled the great sea-going iron clads of the British navy, Prince Albert, Minotaur, and others. Captain Coles was 61 years of age. R AJS JBLOQD.” “ The Life is the Blood.” From it we derive our strength, beauty and mental capabilities.
