THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. 7, 1861
THE SPANISH ARMADA.

The popular idea seems to be that our
great naval and military Expedition against
the coast of the Cotton Confederacy, in mag
nitude of its outfit and in the number of ITS
ships and men, bears no comparison with
the so-called 'Invcnble Armada, fitted out
bv Spain against England, in 1889, in
the reign of Queen Elizabeth This proba-
bly, arises from the pompous descriptions Of
that spectacle by the early historians 1t
was the most magnificent naval enterprise
that had then ever appeared upon the ocean
and infused terror into the minds Of all be
holders. The language of poetry was ex
hausted in its descriptions, and an eloquent
historian Of Italy (Bentivo9lo) states that
the ocean groaned with supporting, and the
winds were tired with impelng SO enormous
weiIlt Yet, the truth Is, that the largest
shirs were not equal to third rate vessels IN
our navy they were i'll framed and un-
wlcldy, and could not be managed in stormy
weather. BY the side Of our modern first
class naval steamships thev would have pre-
sented a sorry and Insignificant appearance.
The Spanish Armada consisted Of 1870
vessels, Of which nearly one hundred were
ealcons Of greater size than had ever before
been constructed in Europe-galeOns being
three or four decked ships. 1t carried on
board nineteen thousand two hundred and
ninety-ive soldiers, eight thousand four hun
drcd and fitty-six mariners, two thousand
and eighty-eight galley slaves, and two thou
sand six hundred and thirty great pieces of
brass ordnance.
II will thus ne seen tha, when the superior
character of our modern naval ships, and
greatly improved ordnance, are taken into
consideration, our great Expedition im-
mensely exceeds the Spanish Armada IN eff
fective power and force while our feet
carries a larger number of soldiers, equip
ments, ordnance, &c. In only one respect
did the Armada more than rival our Expe-
dition. That carried over two thousand gal
ley slaves, while ours has on board ere
thousand 'contrabands.'
The destruction of the great Armada in a
storm, OF the Orkney Islands, and iis miser-
able failure are well known. May the issue
OF our great naval and military Expedition
be more successful and more glorious
