step sits flush, or nearly SO, upon its axle, and
requires to be oiled as often as once in two or
three days. by this Improvement, the step will

KIrrERY NAVY YARD, Jan. 81, 1856.
Mn. EpIroR Among the petitions presented
in tho House Of Representatives last week, was
that of T. 5. Saunders and nineteen others, q
COMMITTEES on behalf Of the mechanics and labor
ers in the navy yard at Kittcry, Me-, asking for
Q repeal Of the amendment to the act OF Congress
as approved July 10. 1862, regulating the pay OF
workmcn in navy yards, or an amendment OF
said act. so that the pay of mechanics and labor.
ers in Government employ. on the same kind OF
work. may be the same throughout New England.
In the report Of Sec. Welles, he recommended the
repeal OF this amendment as matter OF justice.
The refusal 10 pass the bill for the purchase OF
Seavcy's Island, Is greatly regretted by the pco.
pie in this vicinity, and leads TO some animated
discussions II this purchase was not one OF most
intrinsic value, both for those whose interests are
identified with the claims Ut this yard, and for
the whole country, then there might he sufficient
cause for It's rejection; but no such cause can be
produced. In the FIRST place, the officers quar-.
tiers are not suitably adapted TO the present wants
of the large number of officers now attached 10
the yard. About one half Of them are obliged TO
live in Portsmouth. at the enormous expense Of a
steamer to ferry them across the river two or
three times day. With the purchase Of tho>isl.
and, ample accommodations could be afforded,
without expense, for large number Of buildings

The construction Of hospital Is rs essential as
that of cnlargiug the officers quarters. and
should he judiciously considered. When the dis
ease (called yellow fever), was brought into this
port about eighteen months since, this island had
10 be resorted to for the establishment OF hos
pital, and should this ever happen again, doubt
less there would be repetition Of this process,
aud would certainly incur expense All will all
