follow Us; this will leave the steamer SaranAc

this station the entire squadron has been actively
gagged visiting all the ports both upon the African,
Asatic and European shores of this delightful in
summer but stormy in winter. An idea may be formed
of the extent of cruising, when inform you that
this ship alone has sailed forty thousand
miles in this all the vessels composing the
squadron having been nearly alike upon the ALERT and
am sure the Navy Department must see o vast diff
ference in the work accomplished by this squadron aud
the one that preceded 1t. The Cumberland has been
nearly three years in commission and the time of
listment for her is rapidly expiring. We have
been out some thirty three months, and
you that we LOOK anxiousy towards our native shore
for, with all the pleasures upon this station, they
cannot wean US from our first love-our native
land. AS this cruise is rapidly drawing to close,

in which you have sent me the NEW YoRK HERALD,
this entire cruise at the time regret that have
