RECONSTRUCTING THE NAVY.
What Secretary Robson Says-NIeeIIng orthe
Cabinet on the subject.

Cabinet On the subject.
Washington Correspondence of the Boston Post
Secretary Robson is making every effort to
rebuild our broken-down navy, and is deter
mined to press on to the extent of the means
and powers given by Congress. To-day he Or
dered the employment of some five hundred
more men at various navy yards, etc., of the
vessels on hand and those being placed out of
commission is to be vigorously carried on. The
Secretary says
When the Rebellion commenced the country was
without a navy the vessels we had were simply
wooden ones. With a seacoast and ports to protect
than any three other powers In the world, 1t was
haste, and most any kind of material, that was
wanted to carry out the blockade, etc. The Rebels
had no navy, and therefore 1t required no strain of
time, trouble or expense to get up a navy for the
sea. Millions of money was expended for the YES
sells for our river and harbor 1~ghting-the
monitors for fort lighting, and wooden vessels
wherever they could be obtained for blockade pur-
poses. AT the conclusion OF the war all the old
hulks, wooden steamboats,, captured blockade-run-
ners, etc, we're solo, and to-day the navy Is no bet
ter if as wen off as it was before 1861. The navy is
our great arm OF defense. We want a small army
for the Indian frontier and for %oursforts. Unnecessary
to increase it by the hundred of thousands a pro-
we have an army which the world cannot coA-
quer. But it is vastly different with the navy. A
ship or an irOn-clad cannot be built in a month, nor
manned, her stores ana armament got ready and
placed on board, and the vessel sent on her mission
ter. Our navy should have at least thirty ~hrst-class
irOn-clad frigates and ships-of-war built at once.
The machinery should be at once manufactured and
placed in our navy yards to build these vessels.
They should be built on the most improved plans,
and Congress ought to increase the naval force 5000
men, 5000 OF whom could be called a reserve force.
He says the people will realize the force of his
arguments and suggestions on the subject when
perhaps 1t will be too late, or after our national
pride is sorely Inundated and we are without
the power to resent it or to punish those who
may take advantage of our condition. The
powers of Europe know the condition in which
Congress has seen fit to leave our navy, aud
their officials care very little for our wishes or
opinions. In this connection it is important to
state that the President agrees with the Secretary
of the Navy in the sentiments above quoted,
and that he s~ustains the Secretary in the course
he is pursuing. The matter is of so much inn
portance in the estimation of the President, that
he has determined to come here on Thursday
evening and hold a special Cabinet meeting on
Friday morning next, to more fully consider
this subject and transact other important bust
ness. Five members of the Cabinet will GER
tainly be in attendance, and Secretary Fish will
Irobably come here with the President.
