Nj. MALLORY communicated the invitation of the
Secretary Of the Navy for the members Of the Senate
to writ the steamer Merrmac, at Annapolis.
The consideration Of the three million armament bill:
Dir. BELL 1cnnCssej expressed doubts a. to
whether this large amount could be properly expended
within the present year He thought it betterto make
only email appropriation now.
Mr.. WELLER showed that the whole sum ought to
be appropriated forthwith in order TO be used most ad.
VaDtageOusly.
Mr.. HALE opposed the bill, thinking the guns to be
reftted with percussion locks and Maynard primers
would not be at all capable with brcechOadng rifles.
He wac of the opinion that they would not be ser
viceable in wet weather. He condemned such large
expenditure in time of peace and advocated economy.
Mr.. CASS said the Administration should not BE-
held rspol sibe for large appropriations Congress had
some times made them in opposition to the recommend
atiOns Of the Executives
MI HALE replied that if the Democratic party had
not controlled Congress pretty generally-paricularly
the Senatc-for number of years past they not
10 be held responsible. These large expenditure
$40 100000 100000 annually-ought TO arrest
the attention OF people, for they were made at time
when the people suffering from hard times from
one end of the country TO the other
Further discussion of the bill postponed, and the
subject of the Naval Board taken up.
Mr. CRITTENDEN stated that Capt. StribliDg had
claimed the honor of capturing pratcal vessel in
so2 which exploit in reality performed by Lieut..
W ason; aud upon correction of the matter being
brought to the notice of Capt. Strbing, the latter
acknowledged that he had mistaken the name of the
vessel being engaged in similar capture during the
same Sumner.

accr of Capt Dupont and other naval officers, in not
very complimentary terms. He severely ccnsured the
