OUR NAVY.

According to the last report OF the
Secretary of the Navy, the Government
can muster lis vessels. classed as fol-
lows: Gs steamers, carrying 929 guns;
81 iron-clads, l27 guns; 1876 sailing YES
sells, 800 guns, and rs tugs. Total, 1873

Atlantic squadron consists of 10 vessels
with II guns, commanded by Rear Ad'
miral Joseph F. Green. The South At
lantic squadron consists of 2 vessels
with SO guns, commanded by Rear AID
miral William Rogers Taylor. The last
Congress ordered six sloops of war to
be built, but these will not be finished
for several months yet. There are sew
eral vessels in ordinary which could be
made available for service in few
weeks. and it is estimated that the Gov
eminent could, in short time, make
demonstration with a feet OF 20 YES
sells, carrying $50 guns, which would
answer all present requirements

DURING the late epidemic at least q
quarter of a million dollars came to
Memphis from abroad. The newspapers
published unofficial reports of these
receipts from time to time, as best they
could, and the outside world has received
no other authentic acknowledgment OF
a public nature. 1t has been proposed
TO publish history of the late epidemic,
including all essential facts, under the
auspices of the city government But
men are found already who object on
the ground Of economy, although the city
in her corporate capacity, expended only
one thousand dollars on the epidemic.
We admire the true economic spirit,
which is a very different thing from the
motives of demagogues. Memphis at
present stands in the attitude of recelv-
ing help from the whole country and
then hesitating about making suitable
acknowledgment The next election is
Just now a great misfortune to Memphis

NEW JERSEY.

JERSEY CITY, September 6.'-Three
inmates of the Hudson county Jail,
named John Murphy, j. Rodgers
and James Anderson, made dcs-
perate attempt to escape. When the
iron door between the prisoners and
the front part of the Jail was opened
to give the prisoners their breakfast
they rushed past the watchman,
who succeeded in stopping fourth
prisoner. The three prisoners ran
into the kitchen, where the female
prisoners and an old man named
Sucker attempted to prevent
their escape. Anderson seized a
large knife and cut Sucker severely
in the arm. They then ran into tho
