Navy Report.
The Times Washington dispatch says it
has been aseertaiIed that during the entire
war the navy has lost only ,406 men killed
and 1,63s wounded out of $4,000 sailors and
mariners on the rolls, inclusive of all losses
in the grand battles on the Mississippi, at
Charleston, Mobile, Fort Fisher, and else
where. In word, the splendid victories of
FaTagut and Porter have been achieved
with less loss of life than that which has
been lost in single battle BY single divis-
ion. This is due in part to the fact that the
enormous range of our navy guns kept the
men out of musket range

beginning of the war, including the con-
| struetion and equipment of all its vessels
and their maintenance have been less than
$3.50, O,0O0,O00, or only about a per cent. of
the National debt. Moreover we had at the
close of the war ships enough to show for
the money spent to constitute what Is prob
ably better navy than either of the Euro
| pean powers have. We have constructed
since 1851. 30 vessels of war, all of which
are of the most improved models and con-
tain all the appliances Of modern offensive
and defensive warfare.
