These Springs are situated OH the
Ridge which lies between Big Black
and Pearl, in a high rolling country and
on the immediate border Of the pine re-
gion, and the proprietOrs feel fully just
flied from their own observation, from
the estimation of that portion Of the.
public to whom the beneficial effects Of
their waters are known. and from tho
concurrent testimony Of many ihtelli-
/, gent gentlemen Of The medical profess
, sion under whose recommendation and
, observation they have been used, in re-
commencing them, in all cases in which
. tones are indicated, but especially in
all cases connected with a debilitated
condition Of the digestive organs, in df.
! seases Of the mucous tissues, embracing
Dysentery, Diarrhea, and especially
? summer diseases Of children; in chronic
inflammation Of the bladder, in most d.
~seases of the kidneys, especially those
attended with alkaline deposits, in tor
por ofthe liver; as a local applicatiO@
in chrome inflammation of the eyes id
: diseases Of the skin, both as a local and
internal remedy; indiseases Ofthe scalp

The custom-house structure at New Orleans

foundations have been laid, and the walls on
the four sides Of the buildinr carried up to the
pIlnth course OF granite, which has been com
pleted around the entire structure. The unex-

that additional means be provided by Congress

REPORT OF The SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.
In this document all that we fiLd Of import
ance is the following, concerning she connec'
ton OF the Government with ocean steam navi-
cation companies:
After a careful consideration of this subject
l cannot withhold the expression Of an opin-
ion adverse to embarking any further in the
proposed union Of public and private means in
in the system Of ocean steamers, as calculated
to promote the interest of the navy. Whatever
may be the view which Congress may entertain
as to the policy of Transporting the United
States mail, and affording facilities for the
transportation Of passengers and freight in the
manner PrOposd by such asyssem, | entertain
a decided opinion that If it should be regarded
as the mode and manner which Congress has
determined on forincreasing the naval force Of
the United States, il will be found in the end
entirely subversive of the object which it in
tends to promote. TO the extent to which the
present contracts have committed the faith Of
the Government, and to the extent of the obi
cations under the cOntarct, they are of course
strictly to be regarded and sCrupulously to be
performed. Yet, as a naval establishment, |
deprecate any further extension Of the system,
as fraught with incalculable mischief to the
navy and involving immense expenditures Of
public money. All must appreciate the great
importance Of rapid, regular aud safe trans
mission Of our mails to all quarters Of the
world, and all are sensible Of the great com
merCial advantages that must result therefrom
The contracts already made, and the su n al
ready appropriated, are fully adequate to a
thorough test Of the experiment.. | believe,
however, it is subject that should in the future
be leIt TO the competition of private enterprise.
| feel assured that in the struggle American
enterprise and American industry will eventu-
ally be successful,
For a naval establishment, that which we
are most in need of is an independent naval
steam force, Of such extent and Of such mag
nitude as the wisdom Of Congress may think
sufficient and the necessities of the country re-
quire.
Those Governments from whose example
the present system was adopted, have immense
independent steam navies, in which a proper
military education and d~iCipline are secured to
the officers and men, and upon which they
mainly rely for their naval strength and pow
sr. Until we have provided a steam power Tor
OR navy adequate for our protection, | cannot
but consider it as premature and unwise to
regard the proposed system as answering the
necessities and wants of the Government for a
naval establishment.
