The effect Of the severe engagement in the Mis-
si..ipp on our vessels Of cannot be imagined by
PERSONS unscquainted with naval matters Yes;tr-
day the United States steamer Richmond was for
maIy surveyed at the Brooklyn Navy-Yard by
4 L. a.. Ill
Admiral Paulding. Every part Of the vessel was
infinitely examined-the masts, decks, rigging,
ward-rooms, holds, and engines. The result Of the
investigation proved that the amount Of repalrs 10
be effected on the ship will cost almost as mach NJ
the construction Of new man-ofwar. Having
been in several severe epgagements-Gmoug Others
with the Rebel steamer Ivy, with Fort hcRae, with
Forts jackson and 81. Philip, with the Chanette
batteries and New Orlesns with the Nicksburg bat
teries, with the Rebel ram Arkansas, aud wit Port

operations performed at our Navy. \ ard for some
years. Already the work Of rettng yessels IL felt
a. severely at the different naval stations that

builders for repairs. The Richmond, Brooklyn,
Hartford, and the Pensacola, were four OF our hrsI
steame, and have done more seryIce since Tbs war
began than any Of the ether vessels The Navy

cradle period, it will be nearly half year before
