40 organization now adequate to the proper
command Of such a navy.
An increase ofthe navy has long been crying
demand OF this country, and every loyal heart
must be rejoiced that the events Of the tlmes
are leading to such a rapid and wonderful ex.
pansion. But it is as ye, far from what it should
be. We have 246 vessels, while in 1850 the
British navy consisted of 420 vessels, and
against our 1858 guns they mounted l5,O26
guns. Thus, while we average about ten guns
per vessel, the British navy in 1850 averaged
lhlriy-six guns to the vessel. Our industry,
therefore. has taken the direction of multiply
ing vessels etnoderate and small size, such as
gunboats, slOops. briggs, &c, that being obvious.
y a necessity Of the sudden crisis in which we
are involved. For blocksdng purposes the
smaller naval craft will answer ss we'll as the
enormous liners which swell the aggregate OF
guns in the British navy. Our expansion,
therefore, will for the present continue to Ia Ike
that direction until we have float great num-
Der of gunbOats, sloops, briggs and steamers In
British nsvy in number of vessels, though rating
low 10 the aggregate of guns.
The exhibit of the army is something ehlcula-
ted to excite wonder and amazement every
where. Last spring we had but $4,000 soldiers
under arms, and now we have 660,37l, with.
out coRscriptiOn, levy, draft, CT compulsion OF
any kind in tae recruiting service. There are
those who think all this dena anded no especial
talent from the head of The War Department.
But this is sheer injustice. General Cameron
inaugurated the system OF recruiting, without
which it. could nsvsr have been done. He
made the "a aising of regiments ana companies
matters of private enterprise in which thouse nds
Of skilfUln me invited money, time labOs and
talent. By multiplying the number of rerrait-
ing rarties he stimulated the martial spitt OF
the people, and kept the war before them prem
inently in such way as TO excite their patriot.
ic ardor. BY the old system Of requisitions we
poubt whether the recruiting service would
have been as successful.
But far greater achievement has been the
arming and equiping and providing of all this
prodigious host. It is one Of the greatest mar
vels ofthe age how this was affected, especially
the obtaining of arms, OF which the manage.
