Officers Of the Navy and Marine corps, the
former headed by Com. Stewart, the latter by
Col. Henderson, yesterday called to exchange
salutations with the President, and the Secreta.
ry Of the Navy. They numbered about 40, and
appeared in their uniforms. The President ex
pressed his satisfaction at meeting such very
respectable representation of branch of the
public service which he highly esteemed, and
desired to foster. SO far as depended on him,
the Navy should be cherished, and improved to
an extent commensurate with the wants of the
commercial marine. The officers were well
pleased with the sentiments with which they
were received, and could but congratulate them
selves on the pleasing contrast offered when
they recollected the treatment they had received
at the hands of the late Administration.
