Naval Post $40 has Ordered a handsomely en-
crossed set OF resolutions To be prepared, which
are to be sent To King Oscar Of Sweden. The mem
beers OF the Post express in the strongest terms tho
debt we owe 10 Sweden for Capt. John Ericsson and
the value of his inventions. and the resolutions
close with the hope Of a never-endng alliance be-
tween the United States aud Sweden. This iesti-
monial, coming II does from sailors who served
oH his monitors. must possess a double value with
the Swedish authorities. The resolutions were
drawn 10y Capt Osbon.
