quently occur the United States steamers Missouri
and Mississippi have generally been considered, by
such of our countrymen as have not had just means
of estimating their capacities, positive failures,
rejecting both the inability of dock yards and
the incompetency of our engineers and construc-
tors. Now, the other hand, it is matter of
universal concession, with those who know these
ships, that up to this time, they unequalled in
their construction of the essential qualities of naval
steamers. Further, wherever these vessels have
made their appearance abroad, they have received
the unqualified designation Of having exceed all
others; and, whilst our public journals and legis-
lators, at home refer to them failures our cti-
zcns abroad frequently surprised, by receiving
inquiries regarding those ''models of naval steam
ers," which he has been taught to consider as in
ferior to the productions of other countries.
In support of this, the following extract frem
letter from officer in the mississippi" now in
the Mediterranean, will be read with interest:
