construction of navy adapted to the wants
of our country and the times.


Of our country and the times.
No nation can have an advantage over us
if we avail ourselves Of our means and OBJ
portunitfes, and it is no longer doubtful that
our future safety and welfare are dependent
on our naval strength and efficiency. 1t is q
duty, as well as necessity, that we make
these United States q great naval Power.
We owe it to ourselves to commence at
once this work, and the present Congress
should, 10 my opinion, take the preliminary
steps at the present session for laying the
foundation for the construction of q navv
commensurate with the wants and magni.
tude of the country. The place, or places,
the shops and tools, and other appurtenances
for this great work, must be provided in
season. 9@ .E ., ..
The experience we have had admonishes
US not to permit war to come upon us UNI
prepared; yet scch an event may be pend
ing, and the responsibility and calamities
that would follow neglect should be warn
ing for US to be prepared. No amount of
money would repair the wrong that might
be inflicted from present neglect. A mil
lion or two of dollars judiciously expended
at the present time, may save hundreds of
millions and the honor of the nation, after
hostiIities have commenced.
have made these suggestions in conse-
quence of the near termination of the ses-
sion without any movement, as yet, for estab-
fishing the necessary works to produce the
heavy iron and armature that will hereafter
enter into the construction of our naval ves>
sells. 1t is doubtful whether either of our
present navy yards is best adapted to the
purpose herein indicated; but, if so, they
will require considerable enlargement. The
subject is one that should receive careful
consideration, and would suggest that au-
thority be given to designate and procure
one or more suitable locations.
We are now constructing number of
gunboats by contract on the western waters,
and 1 would suggest that recent experience
and the vast resources of iron and other
capabilities of the West, with the radical
change in naval architecture, demonstrate
the propriety of establishing navy yard,
foundry, and shops, at some point in the
Valley of the Mississippi.
Such yard, and its attendant establish
meuts, would possess many advantages, and
is becoming necessity. commend it to
your attention, with the other subjects al
luded to in this communication.

No MO,e European Officers for our Army.
The following note from Secretary Sew.
ard, addressed to Mr.. Bigelow, American
Consul in Paris, appears in the foreign pa
pers:
WASHINGTON, hay S.
SIR: You are doubtless aware that
since the outbreak of the rebellion in this
country many military officers who have
served with distinction in the armies OF Eu.
rope have arrived here Tor the purpose Of
Offering their services to this government.
Some Of those who brought testimonials
from United States Ministers abroad have
been furnished with commissions. As,
however, it is not now in contemplation to
increase the number either of officers or sol~
diers already in the field, you will inform all
such foreign officers as may apply to you
for service in the army of the United States,
that the government, while grateful for
such offers, must, for the future, decline &C.
cepting them, as the list of officers is com.
plete, and recruiting for the rank and file
has been ordered to cease.

The Story Of one Regiment.

When the Name Eleventh passed through
Broadway last November, the "Hallelujah
orus' chanted by eight hundred and fifty
sturdy fellows, few persons who saw them
could have anticipated that those tall lum-
bermen would within twelvemonth, be
almost decimated. Arriving in Washing>
ton they built those famous barracks which
were visited by so many strangers but in
spite of their fne shelter the typoid was
soon busy in their ranks, and when they
went down with Casey's division, they
were only seven hundred and fifty strong /;
one eighth died of disease. While on the
Peninsula they lived on bard biscuit and
water, owing to the inefciency or rascality
of some one, 80 that when they took up the
double quick for Williamsburg the men fell
on the road and died from sheer exhaustion.
At the battle of Fair Oaks they numbered,
fit for duty, only one hundred and eighty
men. One half of this number were in &C.
ton, and were nearly all killed and wound

The New York Express, commenting on
