In his report Gen. Humphreys calls for ''the
Immediate preparation Of our chief harbor for
successful resistance to the powerful iron
clad fleets OF the present day, but forgets to
cay whether he alludes to the fleets of Mexico
or Samoa, the only two countries with which
We are not on amicable terms just now. To
this end he asks an annual appropriation
81 100000, or more, for torpedoes, which
amount, he goes on to say, lis extremely in
significant in comparison with the great pur-
noee to which it is designed

might begin, for instance, on those national

Sergeant Bates,, Weston, and our Kellogg. OF
course the los,s Of these choice spirits would
deprive the newspapers of many items, but
then the papers have always been magnani-

Mr.. Seymour is well known to this commu-
