ARRIVAL or THE LINE OF BATTLE SHIP NORTH
CAROLINA FROM PAcIFIo.-0n Saturday last
this noble ship, under the command Of Commodore
Henry +. Ballard, arrived, and anchored in the
stream of the Battery, where she proudly hes, an
homer TO navy. She has been absent thirty-one
months and in that time has traversed upwards OF
10000 miles. She has been great protection to
commerce in the Pacific, particularly at Chill and
Peru. The North Carolina is immense ship,
mounting 80 thirtytwo and forty-four pounders but
can carry one hundred and ten. Her officers and
crew number nearly nine hundred. A list of the
former we published exclusively yesterday. They
a noble set.
We paid her visit yesterday morning, and were
much astonshed to see such extraordinary neatness
in ship just in from cruise Of nearly three years.
II not with the Constitution when she arrived
at Norfolk short time since with cargo of jack
asses much the modification Of every officer bat
Commodore Elliott. Every thing board he
North Carolina is in the most perfect order, and
she proceed to for another three
years cruise without any additional expense what
ever.
We went all over her, examined every nook and
corner, and visited the orlop deck, about which the
Courier said great deal Of nonsense when the
Ohio was here few months ago. This deck is be-
tween wind and water, but we found 1t nearly cool
and comfortable as any in the ship. The officers
mess-rooms spacious and well-lighted, and they
have every convenience that they can possibly wish
for. We have not the space to give full descrip-
ton and must therefore be brief. The upper deck
presented the most splendid sight we ever beheld
each gun named after of the states terri
tories and the hammocks, as they were nicely
slowed away looked tremendously warlike. On the
wheel were the last words OF the brave Lawrence,
"Dont give up the ship" and they will never be
forgotten. Take her all in all, she is noble vessel,
and justly considered the best line Of battle ship in
the United States Navy, and that is tanamOunt TO
her being the best in the whole world.
While quietly looking around admiring
the different arrangements, Com Edward W Moore,
Commander in Chef of the Texian Navy, arrived on
board. He remained short time, and then left for
the shore. AT the time two hundred OF the
crew, whose term ofseryce had expired, took their
departure from the ship This was stirring sight.
As the steamer which was TO take them ashore,
showed off, over five hundred Sailors all dressed IN
blue manned the yards and rigging, and gave their
old smates three hearty cheers, which were re-
turned. Thus two hundred jolly tars, with plenty
ofmoney, were let loose upon Us in one day. What
time they will have on the 4th
will remain at anchor where she lies as the re-
ceving ship There are to be three line OF battle
ships stationed-one here, one at Boston, and the
other at Norfolk-as school ships. Frsm 900 to 1000
boys are be placed board Of each to be taught
navigation and naval tactics. The North Carolina
is TO be the school ship here and will, during the
summer, remain at anchor where she now is; but IN
the winter she will be stationed in the Buttermilk
Channel.
We advise every one to take a look at her. The
Battery will be thronged to see her, no doubt She
