The President Wants a Navy.

The President Wants Navy.
Washington, March 26-The president
to-day sent to congress the following
message, recommending appropriations
for the construction of naval vessels:
In my annual message pressed upon
congress the necessity Of continued prog.
ress in the reconstruction Of the navy
l now deem it my duty t. advise that an
appropriation be made at the present
session towards designing ard commenc.
ing the construction OF at least three
additional steel cruisers and four gun
boats. recommended BY the secretary Of
the navy. the cost of which, lncIuding
armament. will not exceed $4,2s8, ,OO0
of which one half should be ap.
proprlated for the next fiscal year. The
Chicago, Boston, Atlantic and Dolphin
have been designated and are being built
with care and skill, and there is every
reason to believe they will prove credita'
BILE to the service and able modern
cruisers. I am unwilling to see the
gradual reconstruction Of our nava,
cruisers, now happily begun in con
formity with modern requirements, de-
layed fully one year without substantial
reasons. Whatever conditions congress
may see fit to impose in order to secure
judicious designs and honest, economi-
cal construction will be acceptable
to me, but the reluctant or post
ponement policy, already deliberately
declared, will be. in my judgement, an
act of national imprudence. Appropria.
tions should also be made without delay
for finishing the four double. turreted
monitors, Pnro, Amphiberate. Temar and
MoDdonald, and for securing their arma.
meDt and that of the Miantomah. The
total amount appropriated to this time
for four vessels 10 $3,546.64l. A snm not
exceeding $3Ss, ,76o. including 1856. .725 for
four powerful rifed cannon, and for
the remainder OF the ordinance outfit
will completely equip them for the ser.
vice OF the ocean, and will require only
$2,OOO,00O more TO be appropriated for
the next fiscal year. An early consider.
aticn OF the report is recommended,
together with euch action as will enable
the government to construct its ordi.
nance upon it's own territory. and 40
provide the armaments demanded by the
considerations which concern national
eafety and honor.

part of his own regiment the 9TH and small
detachment of the % H. Cav. in his command

skirmishing with Gen. Green's cavalry for
about two weeks before the rebels made their
attack Oh Lieut.-Col. Leaks command. The
first voley that Maj. Montgomery's men gave
the Confederates when they charged down the
lane killed IA men and horses Montgomery
ordered his men to fall back and formed them
in lire and said he was going to charge them,
but after little while rode up TO the head of
his command and gave the command, Right
forward tours, right march," and marched his
command down to where Col. Leak had been
in camp and passed through the rebels where
they had Col. Leaks men under guard. He
rode III a slow walk, and took several of Col.
Leaks infantry from the rebels and made the
rebels give up their guns TO the Union boys,
and several OF the Union boys jumped up be-
hind the cavalry boys and thus got away. There
was no running away on the part of Mai
Montgopery's cavalry that day. After Mont
gomery and his cavalry had gone about two
miles towards the river, the rebels followed
them, but they were held in check by hard
skirlnishing until Col. Black with his regi-
ment, the 9th H., relieved them. The old

But to the point: Gen. Mitchell was in tempo

3Sth Ill. and 10Ist Ohio and battery of artil-

others who advanced to aid McCook did it
without ORDERS and it is all bosh about Buell.

he one mile distant when the gallant Carlin
led his brigade to the charge. The I01st Ohio,
then a new regiment, fought desperately; was
thrown into confusion, but nobly held its
ground, losing heavily. The 38th Ill. mot 3Sth
Ohio, commanded by Maj. Gilmore, dashed
upon the Confederates, driving them nearly
into Perryville. During this time the DIST

A Call for The 9Th Alabama.

To THE EDITOR: wish, through your val
liable paper to communicate with some officer
or private of the late 9TH Alabama battalion
who recalls the battle of Gaines Mills, June 81,
1862. AS it advanced over the brow of the hill
it was confronted by a regiment stationed at
the edge of the woods, and after first and
second severe struggle, fell back. AT the third
advance the officer at the right of the line, by
his dress and dashing bravery, attracted the
attention of few of our company. He had on
a white broad sombrero, red shirt, and,
think, dark pants. The 5th, not being able to
stand against as again fell back, though not
until afterwe had taken its colors, and we then
noticed that this brave officer was lying ON the
ground. would like very much to know the
name of the above officer, and any information
that may be furnished concerning the late
brave 9th Alabama will be thankfully received
by any and al of the old 18th N. Y.-EDwIN f.
