DRY DOCK AT BROOKLYN

We have wondered at the strange fatality
which impels the Navy Department TO continue
an expenditure for a work that can never be
completed. The Secretary of the Navy in his
Report says b" The difficulties which have been
experienced in the work on The Dry Dock New
York, have retarded its progress, but ills pracica
bility is not doubted and its great importance to
the Navy induces me earnestly TO recommend the
appropriation Of the required funds for its prose-
culion."
The Secretary, we feel assured, has not been
made fully acquainted with the insurmountable
difficulties which attend the sinking of Dry
Dock at Brooklyn, which is no less than an
attempt to place stupeadous stone super
structure upon bottomless channel, which. if
the building is accomplished, will be all swept
away, in quicker time than ii would take to build
il on firm foundation
" The Bureau of Yards and Docks details the
proceedings and expenses on the New York Drv
Dock. Breaches have occasioned vast DELAY and
expense. ne nature OF the soil is unfayOrable

heen received that the regiment is now full, and
'heir services at present not required
Among the companies tn which this intelligence
was of the most unwelcome character, are the
National Artilletists. Captain Murphy, Junior
Artilerlsis. Capt. Fritz German Fusers. Capt
Sybnrg, Patterson Guards, and une or two others,
who were led To believe that they would be
certainly accepted. from promises which had been

event quite snre-iogether with the announce
