PRoDABLs TRHAsoH on An IRox.CLAp AT
rHE NAvY YARp.--Shc Spftsss Lark a ,fep Hours
Before TIC Time Set for her Sailing on an ImPorfdni
Mission. - For some ecks past the splendid iror-
clad sangamon has been at the Havy Yard for GER
tain uninportsnt repairs. Whom shs arrived her
crew was short, and some recruits were received
to make up the deficiency. .....
The pro ten. commander received orders TO leave
tha Nary, Yard yesterday at ~ O'Clock, on an In
portant mission, and due preparation was made
for tbs same, bat, to ths surprise Of every one
Saturday night the vessel was discovered to be in
Re sinking condition. The active exertions Of the
officers Of the sangamon and those at the Yard
soon bailed the water out, and the fires were re-
built In her engines.
The fsct that the accident should have happened
on the eve or her departure for important Service
gives pausibiliy to the idea that the hand Of trea
son was the agenoy that caused the leak. The
Navy Department has ordered the strictest inves-
tgation, and II the facts prove such to have been
the csse, and the guilty party can be discovered,
the severest penalty will be vastly too light.
