THE SABINE OUTWARD BoUSD.
1t is an old saying that long threatening comes at
last" and the day for the departure of the United
States lrisae Sabine has arrived, after having been
expected for forty years. She left the Battery on
Satur lay at noon in of the steamer Huntress and
anchored of the Southwest Spit She goes direct to
Rio but may touch at Madeira Pernambuco If fresh
vegetables run short The Sabine is thirty
years on the Nary Register although she has never
vet been outside the Hook. She was intended to be
sister ship to the Constitution " Old Ironsides, which
vas built in Boston in 1897, aud in some respects
resembles that fine frgae. Her armament consists OF
80 guns of different sizes, among which is tremen-
dous piece Of ordnance weighing over l2,OOO lbs,
which will throw solid shot. II would seem as II the
Sabine was destined to make her first cruise on the
coast of Brazil. She was to have relieved the Con-
gress on the station in 1853 the Savannah in 1885, and
she now relieves the St. Lawrence, Flag Officer
Admiral" French Forrest. The Paraguay trouble
settled, the Sabine will remain the permanent flag
ship Of the Brazil squadron and will be dvested of
the extra officers and marines board at present.
Her officers have been published by us twice since
she went in commission, but they will bear being
reproduced.
