The Report OF the secretary of the Navy.

We refer readers TO this able document for lucid
and interesting exposition OF the management and The
wdey-extended operations of the naval department Of
the public service during the past year The nature Of
the war has gwen TO our gallant navy comparatively few
opportunities OF that active participation in its Conflicts
which has crowned our land forces with such unIadno
laures, and upon which, under the present energetic and
judicous administration OF the department, our navy II
occasion had offered, would assuredy have entered with
certainty of success and YET the details of the
operations Of the Pacific and the Gulf squadrons so well
presented in the report show conclusivey that the part
performed by the navy in the war; though less fitted 10
strike the public attention. has been conducted with great
energy and irresistible power
In addition to the great aid which it has rendered 10
the movements of the army by its most gallant and ei
fectve cooperation in the expedition against Vera Cruz
by its separate conquest and occupation of mporan,
points the Gull coast and by its complete possession
OF the enemys ports the Atlantic and Pacific seaboar
may be safely affirmed that the conspicuous part per
formed by naval forces in the subugaton of Cao.
MIA in view of the magnitude of its results and of The
gallantry and perseverance displayed in their achieve
ment forms most honorable passage in our naval history
The narrative of the Secretary does ample Justice TO the
achievements, and to the high qualities, both of on,
officers and seamen, which they have brought into view
will be too, from the statements of the report
that the protection of commerce from depreciation I'M
der color OF letters of marque, unlawuy issued by Mex
leo, has been most vgantly and eectualy secured by
the department To the active and we-judgel measures
adopted in this behalf and their jealous execution BY
ships of war, is unquestonably due in no small measure
the remarkable fact that immense commerce has su
tanned no considerable loss of this description
Among the various topics alluded to in the report the
strong claims of the Observatory under its present able
management, occupy well-deserved and prominent
place.
The statements and the suggestions of the report ia
reference to the employment in the mail service Of the
new steam vessels constructed with view to war pur
poses and SO forming an important part OF our avaane
naval power, will also be read with very general interest
and appreciation.
Without entering upon any more detailed account Of
its contents, refer readers to this report in full
confidence that it will be regarded bearing ample test
mony to the ability and success with which this mpo
ant branch of the public service has been administers
1t written with the usual grace and force which din
guish the compositions of the able and accomplished
Secretary.
