THE NAVY.
The Formation of Two More Foreign
SquadTOns.


The orders from the Navy Department to pre-
pare for service as a flagship the Pensacola, a
fine vessel OF the HARTFORD class, is probably
the first step towards the formation OF q new
foreign squadron to be known as the South
Pachc Squadron. The cruising ground of this
squadron will pre- badly be from Panama along
the west coast OF South America, thence south
ward and westward, including New Zealand,
Australia, TASMANIA, and the islands OF the
Pacihc. -....r- .....t -r---.7
Certainly this VIII be one of the most interest
il q cruising grounds OF any in the wosld, and
cone which hitherto has been rarely visited by
our vessels oi-y1 ar except Tor exploring pur
poses. The ports to be visited will be Panama,
Callao, Valparaiso, Talcapamo, Sydney, Mel
bourne, HOBART Town, Auckland, Monguinul,
Otahelte, Rotomah, and various other places, in
the Kings Mills Group, Marquesas, Society, and
Friendly Islands. This squadron will probably
consist OF seven vessels of second and third rates.
and will compare iavoraDly with the squadrons
OF other naval powers in those waters. In fact,
it will be larger than any of them.
1t is also reported that new squadron will
shortly be organized, ITO Oe known as the Indian
Ocean Squaoron. AS yet, we have not been in
formed what vessels will compose it, but it will
probably consist OF about five vessels OF second
and third rates. This new cruising ground will
comprise the vast oceanic basin separated from
the Pacific, on the east, by Australia and the
Asiatlc Achipelago; bounded on the south by a
line drawn from the Cape OF Good Hope to Bass
Strait, divided from the Atlantic by Africa, on
the west, and lnclosed by the countries of Asia,
on the north. The chief seaports are Calcutta
and Bombay, In India; Malacca, in the Asiatic
Archipelago Alden, Mocha, and Muscat in
Arabia; and Zanzibar and other lesser ports, in
Africa.
The presence OF a number of war vessels of
the United States in these waters will be of
much service to our merchants, as it will make
the passage among the islands and through the
straits much more safe than formerly, and break
up the piIatical expeditions which have OF late
been so frequent in that locality. The climate
in this quarter OF the globe is delightful the
scenery beautiful, and a two or three years
cruise in these latitudes, IN one of our fine war
vessels will be an interesting event in the lives
OF our naval officers.
With these two new additions the strength of

take equal volumes of the two standard sOlu-

often sufficient for the deposition of the thin film
of silver-if the glass is to be used as a mirror,
the metallic surface can be protected by var
nish prepared by dissolving asphaltum in BEN
zine.
Silver mirrors reflect nearly all of the rays of
hight, and literally enable us ITO see ourselves
as others see u.s., whereas nearly halt OF the
light Is iost IN the case OF the quicksilver mirror
and often q yellow or distorted image is re-
Hected. 1t was at one time proposed to make
mirrors OF silver, and the arrangements were
completed for that purpose near Nuremberg.
The outbreak of the civil war in America SO
affected the trade that the project was aban-
doBed, and it has not since been resumed.
Lebie is sanpuIDe in the belief that the time is
not lar distant when silver mirrors will sup
plant all others.

With these two new additions the strength of
our foreign squadrons will be as follows:-
"A south Carolina Romeo and Juliet.

Mr.. Browne, the Columbia Is. g. cores
pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial writes:-
at appears that true love has been revived in this
State, from the following narrative, communicated
by an acquaintance whom knew in the Army of
the Southwest
'Eary in the struggle, a young lawyer entered
the Rebel service from this town, and obtained
Captains commission, deferring an engagement of
marriage with young woman OF high social posi-
ton and broad acres of cotton (dlsassociated from
any in her toilette) until the contest had tet mi
mated. The loving twain agreed II one should die
before the other, the survivor should follow to the
tomb and they made such promises as did the fair
''lmogene" 10 "AlOnZo the Brave" AT the battle
OF Five Forks, Ill Virginia the Captain was killed;
and the sad news beng communicated to his mis-
tress, she made her will, and prepared for DEATH
though carefully concealing her determination from
her relatives. .-
"a few weeks after the fall of the Young officer,
the morning following the afternoon of his funeral,
which she attended pale and fearless as statue,
she was found dead in her bed. Her parents said
she had expired of congestion of the brain, but a
note left by their daughter informed them OF her
intention TO commit suicide, which she did with
hydrocYanic acid and, the sentimental religious
Thapsodsts would have us believe, joined her love
in realm of happiness, where the amaTanth OF
affection forever blooms +" . ..a.1

A Veto by Governor Ward, of New Jersey.

Governor Ward, of New Jersey, has returned
to the Secretary OF State, with his objections,
the bill to lease the Wet Basin property, at
JERSEY City, to the sugar house proDnetors. He
explains his reasons for this course at some
pany are in possession of the property, aud that
the bill proposes to dispossess them without any
compensation, for an immense outlay of money
for valuable improvements, which have added
70 the wealth OF the State. He reveals the fact
that the Morris Canal Company, who have
hitherto occupied The property in question as
shore owners, and without compensation, have
given him their guarantee to take a lease on
better terms-ofierng to pay $40, 900 per year
parti es who would take possession under the bill

The country ITSELF one Of the most highly cur-

not feed the people until the spring of 1857. The
cotton crop has been signal fsilnre. Aud yet. in
s1any cases, the freedmen were working for them
selves on lands OF their former masters-iands for
which, as we understood them, they paid no rent,
and which had formerly been improved at very
heavy expenditure; Pnd the laborers themselves
were above the average both as to character aud
industry in their old condition. Besides which,
they had enjoyed opportunities for profitable EN-.
