The Eagle. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COVNTT. y- . , I DECATUR, INDIANA. FRIDIY, NOV. *16,1369. THR NSWI. Ex-Senator Wnde has been tendered one of the new circuit judgeehips. Internal revenue receipts are now running from a quarter to one half million per day. The effort to secure the release i of the Spanish gun boats building and completed, proved unsuccessful. Lieut. Commander Seely has been convicted of cruel treatment to non commissioned officers and privates in the marine corps, by a court-martial. The chairman of the committee on ways and means has announced that new tax and tariff bills will be presented to Congress for consideration, immediately upon its convening. A French vessel that left China with 300 coolies recently, arrived at Havana, Cuba, with only 6S alive; 232 having perished during the voyage, the larger number having committed suicioe. Judge Bnsteed. Jj. S. District Judge for Alabama, whose case has been before the House Judiciary Committee for some two years, will probably be impeached during the coming session of Congress. The charges are, ignorance of laws and corruption in office. The book committee of the M. E. church appointed to investigate alleged frauds, after two weeks investigation report that the affairs of the concern have been managed satisfactorily, with the exception of the binding department, where there has been great mismanage meat, entailing serious loss. ■ -1 — » I v The I lections. New York —The following is the official vote of New York at the late election, on Controller, which is the most important office ’ in the State: Win. F. Allen, Dem 341.576 Horace Greeley, Rep 308.390 Allen's majority 53,186 O ) Secretary of State, General Siegel, the Republican candidate, runs considerably ahead of his tick et, having received many votes from Democratic Germans ; but he 1 is beaten 20,593. On the rest of the State ticket the average Dem J ocratic majority is in the neighborhood of 25.000. As the Demo crntic majority in the city of New York was only 40.000. it will be 1 seen that Mr. Allen nearly tied Greeley outside the city, where the Republicans used to have between 60,000 and 70,000 majority. Last fall th? majority for Seymour was j only 10,000. The Empire State is evidently fixed firmly in the Dem ocratic column Minnesota Election.—The fight at the recent election in Minnesota was so close that it is still impos- , kible to determine the precise result. The present indications are that Otis, Democrat, has lieen elected Governor by a small ma- : jority. The following is the vote m far as_ ascertained : Otis, Dem . . 22,374 Austin, Rad 21,673 Democratic majority C 96 ' The Radicals claim, however, that the returns yet to come in will add to Austin's vote so that his majority wdl reach 1.000 Even should this turn out to be the case, the Democracy will have creat oc casion to rejoice Last November Grant carried the State by 15.338. so that if Austin should be elected by the beggarly majority of 1.000. the victory will be little less sad than defeat to the Radicals. A decision of general interest to farmers, and especially to ttw large stock raisers of the West, has just been made by Commissioner Delano. In some districts persons had been assessed for tax as cattle brokers, who were in the habit of buying cattle in Summer, and timing them into their pastures, and selling them to butchers and drov•rs as soon as they wefe in proper condition. The question of their liability having been referred to the Commissioner, he decided that they were not liable if such buying, pasturing and selling were necessary to tlieir business asiarmera and grazers, or properly incidental thereto. The real cattle broker, under Ids decision, is held to be one whose regular business it is to buy and sei] cattle in value* great--67 than ten thousand dollars annually, and simplj fur profit.

Did You Ever! Ever what ? Why, when the good old Democratic party was in power, did you ever hear of spies and pimps noseing among your private goods to see if you had complied with the provisions of an unknown and unpublished law ? Did you ever hear of stamps ? Did you ever have to swear as to how much money you made? If a manufacturer, did you have to make a monthly report to some lazy revenue assessor, who receiv ed from five to ten dollars per day ? Did you ever hear men (as you now do) advocate the policy of paving the laborer with paper ragt and money shavers <ith gold ? Did yon ever hear of a United States Treasurer going cohoot with the bulls and bears of "VX all st reet ? Di<l you ever hear of a tax on everything you eat and wear, in addition to your State and county taxes ? Did yon ever hear of the Presi dent riding about in a steamboat wholly to his own use. at an ex pense to the people, when he was receiving a salary of 825,000 per year ? Commerce Between the Mates. In a case from Alabama before the United States Supreme Court, it was on Monday held that the clause of the Federal Constitution which prohibits the States from laying impost dirties on “imports and exports,” refers and applies only to foreign commerce, and does not prevent the several States from taxing the sales of goods and merchandise imported into and exported from the different States. Certain Alabama merchants im ported goods from other States, and claimed exemption from State taxation, relying on the clause of ; the Constitution referred to. The Supreme Court of that State held that it did not exempt the goods. This Court, Mr. Justice Miller de livering the opinion, now affirmed that judgment. Mr. Justice Nelson dissented, holding that the clause of the Constitution referred to extended to the commerce between the States, the *-ame as to foreign commerce, and that Congress had the sole power of regu lating commerce, both domestic and foreign. This, he said, was the view taken by Chief Justice Marshall. Chief Justice Taney, and Mr. Justice Story, and to hold otherwise left the States free to im pose taxation to any extent upon ; ' inter State commerce—even to its destruction. - Heard From. Don Piatt says Don Chandler, the Senator from Michigan, has been heard from, and he thus an- j nounces the intelligence : Senator Putty face, the great Michigander, who went to Europe i in such magnificence, and then dis--1 ..j.; care.’.sterioiish from human vision, has been hoard from. litis sitting for his bust at Rome. “Can storied urns, or animated bust.” revive the drooping glories |of departed sprees?

OLD IRONSIDES’ BATTLES. I How the Navy Fought Before the Age of Steam. Admiral Stewart’s Connection with the i First Navy of the Country—His Exploits in the Trinolinn War and the War of ISW-Brllliant Action, by Soilins Vessels—Niaht Encasements on Mid-Ocean —The Capture of the Cyaneaud Levant. The death of Rear Admiral Charles Stewart, in Bordentown, New Jersey, on Sunday, as chronicled in the Sun yesterday, removes the last conspicuous landmark of the early exploits of the United States Navy. Admiral Stewart was contemporary with Truxton, Barron, John Rodgers, Decatur, Hull, Bainbridge, Preble, David Porter, Sr , and those other illustrious commanders whose names adorn the early pages of American naval history. In the very organization of the United States Navy, after the settlement and recognition of the Government, Stewart entered the service as midshipman, and, previous to 1800, and while yet a minor, was made a lieutenant, and served as executive officer of the old frigate United States, then under com maud of Commodore John Barry. HIS FIRST PRIZE. In 1800, so conspicuous had his service been, he was assigned to the command of the schooner Experiment. twelve guns, with the titular rank of Lieutenant Commandant. Soon after his assignment to this command, Lieutenant Stewart fell in with and captured in the West Indies the French privateer, Deux Amis, carrying eight guns and fifteen men, 7IE ATTACKS TWO FRENCHMEN AT NIGHT. About a month after this occurrence. while crui-ing on her station in the West Indies, the Experiment made two sail which had j the appearance of enemy's cruis i ers. The Frenchmen, for such | they proved to be, were a brig of I ■ eighteen guns and a three masted i schooner of fourteen, both of which gave chase to the Yankee. Lieutenant Stewart, having soon satisfied himself of the superior sailing of his own vessel, inanceu vied in away to separate the enemy. and to keep them at a distance until after dark. At length, finding that the Frenchmen had given up the chase, and that the brig was about a league ahead of the Schoo-I ner, he cleared for action, closed i with the latter, by running up on her weather quarter, and gave her : a broadside. The attack was so vigorous and close that the enemy struck in a few minutes. Throw-I ing his first officer, Lieutenant Da J I vid Poiter, into the prize. Lieutenant Stewart immediately made sail for the brig. but she had gained go much ahead, during the time lost with the sohooner, that she was soon abandoned, and the Ex periment returned to her prize, , which she carried into St. Kitts.— I The prize was the man of-war schooner Ln Diane, of fourteen guns and sixty men. IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. In 186.3. Lieutenant Stewart, in command of the Siren, sixteen guns, joined the Mediterranean Squadron, under Commodore Pre hie. in the war against Tripoli, where he served with distinction, I being second in rank to the Com i mandant. In 1806 he was promo I ted to the rank of Captain. HIS FIRST FRIGATE. At the breaking out of the war of 1812 with England, Captain Stewart was off duty, and some■ I time elapsed before he secured a j ship. He was finally assigned to the command of the frigate Con-I , stcllation. thirty-eight guns, then ■ fitting for sea at Washington. A NOTEWORTHY DEFENSE. A few days later the Constellation dropped down abreast of Cra nc.v Island, with a view to cover j the fortifications then erecting at that place. At this time the enemy t were lying in force at Hampton ’ Roads. The ship was much ex posed it being at all times practicable for the enemy to attempt carrying her by surprise, and Captain Stewart felt the necessity of using great precautions for herj protection. The manner in which the frigate was prepared for <le- ! tense, on this occasion, was highly appreciated for its skill and sea-' msnship. Three times the enemy essayed to capture her by surprise. 1 but in each instancy found lierpre- ! pared, and was compelled to retreat. ASSIGNED TO OLD IRONSIDES. In the spring of 1813, Captain Stewart was relieved from the command of this blockaded vessel, I and transferred to the frigate Con stitution (Ohl Ironsides), fortyfour guns, then undergoing reI pairs at Boston. The ship was not able to get to sea until the winter of 1814. when she made a cruise to the southward, passing down the coast and running j through the West Indies on her 1 way home, and captured the Picton, fourteen guns, a man-of-war ; schooner of tlie enemy, and a few smaller prizes. CRLISIMG OB THE COAST OF PORTU • GAL. On the 17th of December, tbs j ’ Constitution again left Boston and

ran off Bermuda, thence to the viI cinity of Maderia, and into the Bay of Biscay. After this she cruised some time in sight of the Rock of Lisbon, making two prizes, one of which was destroyed and the other sent in. CHASE OF THE CYANE AND LEVANT. On the morning of the 20th of February, the wind blowing freely, from one of those impulses which can not be explained, finding nothing where he was. Captain Stewart ordered the helm put up, and the ship ran off southwest, varying her position in that direction fifty or sixty miles. At one o’clock p. m., a stranger was seen on the larboard bow, when the ship hauled up two or three points and made sail in chase. In about twenty minutes the stranger was made out to he a ship, and half an hour later a second vessel was seen further to lee ward, which, at two r. M , wasals > ascertained to be a ship. The Constitution kept standing on, all three vessels on bowlines, until four, when the nearest of the strangers made a signal to the ship to leeward, and shortly after he kept away and ran down toward his consort,, then about three leagues under his lee. The Con stitution immediately squared away and set her studding sails alow and aloft. No doubt was now entertained of the strangers being enemies, the nearest ship having th^ 7 appearance of a small frigate, and the vessel to-leeward of a large sloop of war. The first was carrying studding sails on both sides, while the last was running off under short canvas to al low her consort to close. Captain Stewart believed it was their intention to keep away on their best mode of sailing until night, in hope c f escaping, and he crowded everything that would draw, with a view | to getting the nearest vessel under ■ his guns. About half past four p. m , the spar proving defective, the main royalmast was carried away, and the chase gained. A few guns were now fired, but finding that the shot fell short, the at tempt to cripple the stranger was abandoned. COMING TO CLOSE QUARTERS. Perceiving, at half past five o'clock, that it was impossible to prevent the enemy from effecting a junction, the Constitution, then a little more than a league distant I from the farthest ship, cleared for action. Ten minutes later the two chases passed within hail of each other, came by the wind with their heads to the northward, hauled up ■ their courses, and were evidently i clearing to engage. In a few minutes both ships suddenly made sail, close by the wind, in older to weather upon the American frigate, but perceiving that the latter was closing too fast, they again hauled up theircourse, and formed on the wind, the smallest ship ahead. At six p. m.. the Constitution had the enemy completely under her guns, and ahc showed her ensign. The strangers answered this defiance by setting English colors, and five minutes later the American ship ranged up abeam of the sternmost vessel, at the distance of a cable's length, passing ahead with her sails lifting, until the three ships formed nearly an equilateral triuu gle, the Constitution to windward. COMMENCEMENT OF THE ACTION. In this masterly position theac tion commenced, the three vessels keeping up a hot and unceasing fire for about a quarter of an hour. ■ when that of the enemy sertsibly I slackened. The sea being covered with an immense cloud of smoke. , and it being moonlight. Cap ain i Stewart ordered the cannonading Ito cease. In throe minutes the smoke had blown away, whom the leading ship of the enemy was seen under the lee beam of the Consti-1 tution, while the sternmoat was luffing, as if she intended to tack and cross her wake. Giving a broadside to the ship abreast of' her, the American frigate threw I her main and mizen topsails with topgallant sails set, flat aback, shook all forward, let fly her jih sheet, and backed swiftly astern, compelling the enemy to fill again .to avoid being raked. The lead ing ship now attempted to tack, to cross the Constitution's forefoot, when the latter filled, boarded her foretack, shot ahead, forced her antagonist to ware nnder a raking I broadside, and to run off to lee ward to escape from the weight of the fire. THE CYANE SURRENDERS. The Constitution perceiving that the largest ship was wearing also, wore in her turn, and crossing her stern, raked her with effect, though the enemy came by the wind im mediately and delivered his larboard broadside, but as the Constitution ranged up close on his weather quarter, he struck. Mr. , Hoffman, the Second Lieutenant of the Constitution, was immedi-. ately sent to take possession, the prize proving to l>e the British ship Cyane, Captain Falcon. THE LEVANT FORCED TO STRIKE. In th* meantime, the ship that bad run to leeward had no intention of abandoning her consort, but had been forced out of the combat by th* crippled condition of her running rigging. *nd to

avoid the weight of the Constitution's fire. She was ignorant of the fate of the Cyang, but at the end of about an hour, having repaired damages, she hauled up, and met the Constitution coming down in quest of her. It was near nine before the two ships crossed each other on opposite tacks, the Con stitution to windward, and exchanged broadsides. The English ship, finding her antagonist too heavy, immediately bore up, in doing which she got a raking dis charge, when the Constitution boarded her foretack and made sail, keeping up a most effective chasing fire from her two bow guns, nearly every shot of which told. The two ships were so near each other that the ripping of the enemy’s planks was heard on board the American frigate. The former was unable to support this long, and at ten r. M. he came by the wind, fired a gun to leeward and lowered his ensign. Mr W. B Shubrick, the third lieutenant, was sent on board to take possession, when it was found that the priza was the Levant, carrying twentyone guns, commanded by Honor able Captain Douglas. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIZES. The Cj ane carried thirty four guns, and had a crew of 168 men, of whom twelve were killed and twenty six wounded. The Levant carried 156 men, of whom twentythree were killed and sixteen were wounded. The Constitution mounted fifty two guns and carried 470 men, of whom a number were absent in charge of prizes. ESCAPE FROM A BRITISH FLEET. The Constitution took her two prizes into Port Praya, in the Cape Verde Islands, arriving there on the 10th of March. On the 11th, during the prevalence of a dense fog, the topmasts of three ships were seen in the offing Captain Stewart at once ordered his cables cut, and moved out of the harbor, ordering his prizes to follow, which they did. Within fifteen minutes of the discovery of the strange sails, the Constitution was outside of the harbor, and heading to sen The fog soon lifted, showing his proximity to the three ships, which proved to be the frigate Leander, fifty guns, Newcastle, fifty guns, and Acosta The enemy gave chase to the Cyane, which escaped and made sail for New York, arriving there safely The Levant returned to Port Praya and fell into the enemy’s hands. The Constitution eluded the British fleet and soon after sailed for America, arriving at New York about the middle of May. The conclusion of peace was soon after announced, ami the old frigate was put out of commission, and thus ended the palmy days of romantic sea fights, combining seamanship, bravery and shrewdness in a degree vastly beyond what is requisite in the in troduction of steam. The subsequent events in Cap tain Stewart's life—his promotion Ao the rank of Rear Admiral, and ' various services ashore and afloat. ' are familiar as household words and require no repetition. Hideath is at the advanced age of ninety-one years, and severs the connection between the navy of t<> day, and that which won us so much honor more than half a cen tury ago. but the memory of Old Ironsides will live as long as the Stars and Strjipes wave over a float ing Special Election.
