Duing the past year our navy has been
depleted by the sale Of some vessels no longer
ht for naval service and by the c0ndemna-
ton Of Others not yet disposed Of This how
ever, has been more than compensated for
hy the repair of six OF the old wooden ships
and by the building of eight new Sloops of
war authorized by the last Congress
The building of these latter has occurred
at dOuby fortunate time. They
are about being completed at time
when they may possibly be much
needed, and the work upon them has
not only given direct employment to thou
sands Of men, but has no doubt been the
means Of keeping open establishments
Tor other work at time of great financial
distress. Since the commencement of the
month, however, thedistressing occurrences
which have taken place in the waters of
the caribbean Sea, almost on our very sea-
board, while they illustrate most forcibly
the necessity that nation situated like
ours should always maintain in a state

that all the effective force we really have
shall be put in immediate readiness for war

done promptly and effectively, and | am
assured that all the available ships and ey-

will be ready for whatever action is reonir-

short time of some Of the appropriations
which Were calculated to extend through
the fiscal year, bat Congress will, | doubt
not. understand and appreciate the emer-
gency, and will provide adequately not On
ly for the present preparations but for the
future maintenance OF our naval force. The
secretary of the navy mas, during the past
year, been quietly putting some of our
most effective monitors in condition for ser

THE INDIAN QUESTION.
In the department of the interior the
policy inaugurated towards the Indians At
the beginning Of the last administration has
been steadily pushed, and believe with
beneficial results. 1t will he continued
with only such notifications As time
and experience may demonstrate as
necessary. With the encroachment If
civilization upon Indian reservations
and hunting grounds, disturbances have
taken place between the Indians and whites
during the past year, and probably will
continue to do - until each race an
preeiates that the other has riobts
which must be respected The policy
has been to collect the Indians ~
rapidly As possible on reservations and
as Tar as practicable within what is known
as the Indian Territory, and To teach
them the arts Of civilization and selEsupport
When found off their reservations and en-
dangerlng the peaeeand safety of the whites
they have been punished and will continue
to be Tor like offences. In the Indian Terri
tory, south Kansas, and west Arkansas. suf-
heient area and agricultural resources To
support all the Indians of the Rocky
Mountains have been reserved. | have no
doubt al OF them, except few who may
elect TO make their homes among the white
people, will be collected there As pre-
paratiOn for this cOnsummation am satis
fed of the benefits of a territorial form Of
government which will secure for them
treaty rights as equal settlers and protect
their homesteads for period of 20 Years.

Mountain Of Massachusetts, COM

Thanksgiving Day, though it will re
uuire several months before the debris
can be cleared away, and the road-bed
laid so that trains can commence rum

is about ST., 100000, borne wholly by
the State; and as it opens 4 through
