Hpprentices in the Nury.-Wc notice that the
Ohio "A is at New York, preparing for sea. Her
crew IS composed of about 500 souls amongst
which are so boys and apprentices. This is the
result of law passed by Congress two years
since. In our view of the matter, we should think
that "A should carry at least 100 boys in time OF
peace, frigate SO, and a sloop of war 20. By
this means.a fine body of hardy naiire seanen
would be reared in the Navy
The recruiting naval stations ore now, we be-
licve, taking apprentices therefore an opportunity
is afforded to those who may wish to place boys
in the Navy, to be brought up as scunaen.-U. s.

Our NAvY.-The United States are the second
among commercial nations, and will soon be the
first. Their tonnage exceeds that of any other
nation, excepting Great Britain, and will, in less
than twenty years, perhaps ten, exceed that.
This tonnage is scattered over the whole world;
for not port can be found where an American
vessel is not seen in the course of year; and IN
all the principal ports they are to be seen at all
times. Yet, 10 protect this great commerce, our
Navy is the smallest in the world! Every nation
that processes 10 be marame, even little Den
mark, with half of the natural resources OF Mas
sachusetts, and little Holland, with tenth OF the
natural resources of Pennsylvania has more
powerful Navy than the United States.
Yet since the peace of 1915 onr Navy has cost
US about one huadred millions Of doHarsH We
earnestly call upon every representative IN the
next Congress to approach this subject in earnest,
to make thorough investigation, and a thorough
reform. AT tpresent, our Navy is laughing stock
for its weakness. With all this expenditure, il
ought TO command respect and confidence for Its
etllclency.-Lelger.
Before the wish of the Ledger is gratilied by
Congress in augmenng our Navy, it ought TO be
first ascertained whether we can obtain sufficient
supply of "cobdiers md finkerS." We trust our
Legislators WILL at an early day, find out this IL
