THE NAVY.

The Philadelphia North American says
The House Of representatives, passed
a resolution not long since, requesting o
The Secretary Of the Navy, plan for 9
reorganization Of lis Department. TINS
plan has been transmitted. IL is disciim
mating and thorough; broad in lis views
and effective IN its details.
1t resolves the business Of the Depart
ment into appropriate burcoux and AT
tach,s sp' citic duties AMI corr spending
responsibilities to each. This PLAZA Bogus
NJ the source, AMI lies at the found ,tion
Of all reforms in the Navy. 1t plants the
roots Of the tree rightly. We have here.
tolorc been at work oa the limbs, and the
ttwigs, aud as soon as one was fixed right,
another would fix tsulf wrong. The
/ Secretary has begun at the root, aud il
supported, as we trust he viii b., the
shaft and branches will be brought right.
jealousy Of power might have su.g, sted
a different course to the Secretary, but he
prefers the good Of the service to the az.
grand .zements OF stations. IiJ has evn.
ced throughout, since he took charge of
the Department, a sincerity of devoted
ness 10 the Navy, and an energy oil CON
due, in IFS administration, which very few
have had the blindness TO dstrust, on the
hardlhood to gainsay.
The reorganization will involve some
increase Of clerks and salaries in the De-
parment at Washington, but it will save
hundreds of thousands IN the expense Of
the Navy. II will close up at once that
great sluice OF expense, resulting from
want of specific duties, and specific re-
sPorslbllities. To oppose this re-organi-
cation on the score Of expense, would be
about as silly as for The captain Of a mer-
chairman to allow lis vessel to sink with
her cargo, among the breakers, sooner
than employ few extra hands to get her
of. We do not believe this re-o!gunza.
ton Will meet with opposition in Con-
gress; certainly not, If tie efficiency OF
service and sound economy prevail. Let
faction find its objects elsewhere, hut let
this plan be met in spirit Of enlightened
candor and strenuous honesty. We ask no.
thing for il but intelligent and honest leg.
islation. II will stand the severesl tests
that can be applied to it; we ask for it no
indulgence beyond the claims Of its own
naked merits. That Congress will meet
ii in right spirit, we firmly believe we
will not abandon this persuasion ill il is
forced from us; and when that is done,
our confidence in ouI legislators will be
wrecked.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says The
Secretary Of the Navy has submitted
plan for the Reorganization of the right
arm of our national defence. The sug
gestions are enlightened and the details
interesting. The scheme provides for ga
distribution of duties upon the principle Of
orderly arrangement, aloting TO each
branch Of service in the Department its
special bureau. Thus, it is proposed TO
have bnreau oil navy yards and docks,
another Of construction and repairs, ano.
Their of equipment and stores, another Of
ordnance, &c. The whole system ap-
pears. TO DO well coptrived for efficiency,
and for economy--in both Of which the
Department for some years have been
lacking"

The steamer Charleston, Captain BAK-
DEN, arrived on Saturday from Pila;ka.
but from some cause we did not receive
any letters from our regular correspond
enis. From several private letters, the
perusal Of which we have been favored
with, we learn that Halleck Tustenaggee,
as we expected, has been overloaded by
the troops in the vicinity Of the Okeehum-
kee. Three successive brushes were had
with this warrior about the Goth uliimo.
Our accounts differ somewhat as 10 the
particulars. One letter says: Zone ln-
dian killed, one taken prisoner, and much
blood letting !" thereby indicating others
wounded. Another letter says: I" Col.
WORTH was with the troops in person.
Sergeant COOPER, OF the I'd Dragons,
captain kER's company,) and one sol.
der was killed, aud several others wound
ed. Halleck has retired over the 0ckln.
