NATIONAL ASYLUM, Augusta, Dec. 1


The Young Folks Dramatic Union Of your
city entertained the soldiers at the National
Military Asylum on Tuesday evening with
the play entitled THE Last Loaf" The
parts were well represented, and the interest,
which the opening scene awakened, increased
with the progress of the play. The interval
between the acts was enlivened with appro-
pirate vocal and instrumental music. This
play seems admirably adapted to reinforce the
temperance reform movement. 1t shows the
tiEfler where his course will end, and touches
the drunkard in a tender spot. The club will
do good service in the temperance cause
wherever they will consent to act this play.
Our hall was filled and the interest manifest
ed showed that all enjoyed it. AT the close
the reterans extended hearty vote Of thanks
to the club for their kindness in atiording
them so pleasant and proftaGlv an evening s
entertainment B.

REPORT OF TIE SECRETARY OF
THE NAVY.

Secretary Robson reports that the navy Of
the United States consists of IFS vessels, car
rying 1873 guns, exclusive of howitzers; IS
steamers, 1922 guns; 81 iron-clads, l27 guns :;
% tugs.
OF the steamers, ) are unfinished on the
stocks, 2 are in use by the quarantine authori-
ties of New York, 0 are undergoing repairs,
81 are in commission for squadron and
special service, and 10 are in ordinary.
Of the sailing vessela, are on the stocks,
6 are in commission as cruisers and store
ships, are in commission as receiving ships,
6 are used for quarters and other special pur-
poses at the navy yards, the Naval Academy
and other stations, 2 are undergoing repairs
and are in ordinary.
OF the iron-clad vessels, are in commits
sion on the North Atlantic station, is in use
at the Naval Academy, and the remainder
are undergoing repairs or laid up at League
Island and New Orleans.
OF the tugs, is in the service of the expe-
diton toward the North Pole, another on the
Asiatic Station, and the remainder, with the
exception of a few undergoing repairs, are in
use at the yards and stations.
Fourteen vessels have been commits stoned
during the year, 10 have been put out of COM
mission during the same period, and are re-
turning from foreign stations, their term of
service having expired.
| There are 40 vessels in commission for sea
service, (including 3 used as storeships, J
carrying 462 guns.
Early in the past year the attention of the
Department was arrested by the fact that
many of our iron clad fleet needed extensive
repairs to make them fit for efficient service
Several Of them are built of wood, while the
beams and much Of the frames of those whose
hulls are Of iron of the same material
This wood work was found on inspection, to
have decayed so much that there seemed to
be no way left but to replace it with iron.
This was at once done, and we have now the
satisfaction of knowing that several of our
monitors are in complete repair, and more
effective than ever.
In addition to its ordinary duties the navy
has continued during the past year to supply
officers for lighthouse duty, and the men adm
officers for the coast survey, and has been en-.
gagged in completing the surveys of the 18th
mus, and in making photographic surveys
and soundings in both oceans whenever the
safety or interests Of our people seem to de-
n and it.
! With regard TO the construction Of an in

,er.oceanic canal, the Secretary says that the
present seems to be an opportune moment for
US to take into serious consideration the re.
ports of the surveys and explorations made
upon the American 1sthmus, with the view OF
solving, if possible, the engineering and com.
inercial problems involved, and establishing
water communication between the two oceans.
1t will be noted, in the physical structure OF
the continents of North and South America,
that the meridian of New Iork is about that
of the Isthmus of Darien, and that the 18TH
mus Of Tehuantepec is near the longitude OF
Omaha, while ship bound from New York
to San Francisco is compelled, in rounding
Brazil and doubling Cape Horn, to sail fur
Their eastward than the entire direct distance
between the two cities, and the countries of
three fourths of the South American and all
of the Pacific coast are nearer, by steam or
sail, to the ports of Europe, than to the At
Il, lantic harbors of the United States.
But the Gulf of Mexico belongs to us and
TO our Atlantic commerce, and the great in
terror navigation of North America. which has
its outlet through the Mississippi, stretches
its arteries from the Alleghanies to the great
lakes, and drains region larger and richer
than all Europe west of the Adriatic, and the
resources and requirements Of that great re-
gion. under the favorable circumstances of
Isthmus, would soon appropriate and repay
much of the trade OF the East. No more
powerful impulse could be given to the swift
development of our southern and middle
tiers of states, nor any greater boon con-
ferred upon the valley of the Mississippi than
such connection with the Pacific Ocean,
and certainly no more effective stimulus
could be applied for the revival Of the COM
merce of our Atlantic and Pacific states with
South America and the East, the fostering of
which demands, now that swift and costly
steamships have almost banished sailing ves-
sells from the ocean, that no needless day
shall be added to the time Of their passage,
nor avoldable mile to the length of their voy-
ages.
The report closes with a recommendation
that our navy yards shall be further improved,
that naval prison be built, and with state
ment Of the expenditures for last year and
the estimates for next year.

considerable part of the charge was an able

much of interest to the public as we'll as the
