THE NAVY OF THE UNITED sTATEs.

The Navy of the United States is becoming n
very powerful arm of the national defense and
we trust frequent opportunity will be given to
show its efficiency and strength until the rebels
are thoroughly subiugated. There are now in
active service $50 steamers, with an aggregate
tonnage OF 408,O00 tons. against the original 26
steamers and and 1900 TONS with which the
war comfnenced. OF this number 200 steamers,
with an aggregate Of 24i 600 tons, have been
built by the Navy Department. The additions
which are now being made to our navy, are of
vessels of the first class which will largely in
crease Its efficiency. There are seven wooden
steamers, two built by outside parties, the 9TH

Monitor iron-clads constructed number %. and
have an aggregate tonnage of 1900. That this
powerful navy should have been created within
three years, when the means at command were
at the beginning only about two dozen machine

itself to the circumstances required, and how
great are the resources of the nation to supply
