lne physical imposslDlllty OF transporting SO mnh9
human beings The proposition now submitted to
Congress viii obviate that objection. From the re-
port Of The Naval Committee, we gather the follow
ing facts in regard to the steam nayies atloat
In 1876 Great Britain had 1893 vessels, of all
classes; France, 81 Russia, 80; and the Unned
States, 6 small vessels
Now. the United States have provided for build |
Ing war steamers, and II 70 act as commercial
marine in peace, and 10 be purchased BY the Gov
| ernment in war. 9ars to run between New YORK
| and Europe; 5 between New York and Chagfes
aud 8 between Panama aud San Francisco
The steam navies of Europe have greatly m |
| creaaed. France has 90 the British have now
IFS ocean steamers These ply as mail carriers be.
"a een Great Brl,ain and the United States, the
| west and East Indies, South America, and Aus
! irslia.
| The application Of steam TO ocean navigation
has produced change in the naval economy of all
maritime nations Instead of building large un
wiedy seyenty-fours, to be devoted exclusively 10
na, ional purposes these nations are now encourag
ing the construction of steamships by private in
diyiduals be employed by the governments in the
transportation Of malta. This is certainly great
improvement. We.aready have lines to Liverpool,
San Francisco, and shortly will extend the rami
ficatiOns 10 the principal parts of the world.
1t is now proposed to establish line to Liberia.
This will increase our naval force it will enable
us TO obtain portion Of the African commerce, and
it will accomplish the grand object of removing
from this continent that population so injurious ana
and SO suffering tine free blacks.
So important is this last measure considered by
The Sieve States, that Maryland has appropriated
| $200,000; and Virginia has made an annual appro,
priation of $4,000. 1t is Illuminating fact Ihat
with all their boosted ZEAL the abolition States are
the most cruel ia tneir treatment 81 this unlortu
nate race. A colored man, Of great intelligence,
this city, ths boOk-kesper and confidential clerk
| Of his master, the lats VIM. Beal, and who was
emaneipated by his will, informs that his people
say they are nearer free in Louisiana, than in the
Northern States. The New York Evening Post,
The organ of The Free Solers, has long and violent
article against the project Of the steam line to Lii
IBERIA.
The number of free colored people in this coun-
try is 100000, with annual increase Of 10000.
The line will consist Of three SHIPS which shalt
make monthly trips 10 Liberia, touching on their
return al certain points in Spain Portugal, France,
and England, thus: one ship will leave New York
every three months, touching at Savannah for
f,eight and mails; one win leave Baltimore every
lllree months, touching at Norfolk and Charleston
