A letter from Hilton Head, South Carolina, dated the 17th, gives an account of the sinking of the monitor Patapsco in Charleston harbor by a torpedo. It says: For sometime past the navy has been engaged in removing torpedoes from Charleston harbor by dragging for them in small boats.

The parties were in a barber shop, when Lowry, who was drinking, took up the brush and attempted to lather Patterson's face.

Lowry endeavored to escape by pressing a soldier's horse into service, but was captured and committed to jail."

The President in his message says: "By the act now before me, however, the two Houses, empower their respective members to 'choose' officers that are not 'their officers,' but officers of the Executive Department of the Government. The language is not susceptible of any other meaning. The acting midshipmen
