to recover possession of the property

THE UNITED STATES NAVY.

The naval force of the United States

two steam tenders, three store vessels and
five permanent receiving ships. Total,
eighty-nine vessels, carrying 1922 guns.
OF these, however, Only ffsy-six carrying

Navy department, and are not incIuded

eight were in the Pacific squadron SIX
were in the East lnIic3; and one, the

Washington. Some important changes
have been made since the publication Of
the reglster--particularly in augmenting
the service in the East Indies and the Pa
ciGc. As comparedwi,h the naval forces
of European powers it must be admitted
that our maritime strength makes but an
insignificant show, but the reliance Of the
country has ever been placed on the I'M

STATE CONVENTION.

In last weeks %fate formal we notice
a call, signed by prominent Democrats
and Union men in Central Iowa, for n
Union Convention to be held on the 3lst
inst. at Nes Moines. We heartily approve
of the object Of the call but can not see
how much good can be accomplished by it.
At this season Of The year i, is highly i'm
probable that many will attend who live
at auy great distance from Des Moines -
The Convention will be composed almost
entirely of Democrats and their position
is already well known. If republicans
would move in the matter and manifest a
union spirit and desire to see harmony
restored, We can see how much good
might result from the movement Still,
if the Democracy Of Iowa think best to
meet in Convention to consult, we are
with them. We prefer however, q dele
gate convention for that purpose.

Reader, did you ever undertake to edit

mysterious powcr--ru0lic op'nion-and
keep the community posted IN matters OF
political, religious and social interest. If
not, you can form no inst conception OF
the agony of heart, mind and body which
an editor is called upon to endure Ion
expect a reguia. issue Of the paper, and
say hard Wings about thu printer if it is
no, received Besides you want it filled
with important news-leaths, marriages,
Opponents, ARRAYS, secession items, and
why shouldn't you be gratitied? OF course
you should. You take the paper and pro
mise topay for it, The editor labors for
the good of his race and feels panied
when he cannot satate the public thirst
for knowledge.
This is done with comparative ease 50
long as our communications with The Last
are not entirely cut Of.
But now is 1.-the winter Of our dscon
tent" We have had no mail for an age.
And yet our patrons must have paper.
What shall it contain-what items OF
news? What subject shall we elucldate
for leader These are perplex'ng qnes,
tions. We can find no startin: point
nothing tangible TO build upon. For
augh, we know our glorious flag NAY be
all rent and torn Washington beseiged,
Charleston in ashes.
Or it may be that wise counse's have
rrrvailed--ail our difficulties are settled,
and harmony and good feeling are restored
to the country. We are just now in a
state of blisSful ignorance. The commo
ton. in the East, if there are any, do not
reach us Fluctuations in stock do not
affect us. We await the elimination Of
the crisis with the greatest c0mposure.
