the officers of the following vessels to report
TO him Immediately Brooklyn, Magnolia, r.
r. Cuyler, Merrimac, Bienyille, Arangea,
Cowslip, Snowdrop, Honeysuckle, Narci ssas,

Immediately to the office of admiral Gregory

One of the vessels named, the Merrimac,
came to the navy yard yesterday, and was
turned over to the authorities. 1t is believed
she will be manned and put in commission at
once. The other vessels are in various stages
of progress The Brooklyn, one Of the most
valuable vessels of the Mississippi squadron,
is likely to be first advanced.
The receiving ship North Carolina is filed
with landsmen and ordinary seamen, who
could be sent TO man these ships at mo-
ment's notice, if necessary There is, how
ever, great scarcity of seamen, which some
what embarrasses the government.

Slavery not Considered Necessary by
tho Governor of kentucky.

CINClNNATI, Dee. 8.-rhe message of Gov.
Bramlette is published this morning lie
represents the financial condition of the state
as satisfactory, end urges complete organiza-
ton of the militia for home defence from
guerrillas and robbery, and adds 1T is a
cource of qualification that the patriotism of
the people has met the efforts to place sniff
cient force III the field for defence, and that
we are now more secure and better guarded
than at any time heretofore since the begin
ming of the rebellion. In short time, an ar
rangemCnt made with the secretary of war, for
the thorough organization of the enrolled mil
itia for our defence, will be completed, and
security will again gladden. the desolated
homes of our border people" He pledges the
entire service Of the state to the defence of
the government. Kentuckys position in ref
erence to federal relations is largely dis
cussed but no new position is taken. 1t is
conceded that negro slavery is not essential
to the life of the state or the nation, but that
the Union is; and this is step in advance in
kentucky.
