Capt. Hooper Is Of opinion that the

therefore, the preservation Of the otter
would not necessitate the cooperation
Of any other country. Suitable regu.

THE army WORTHY OF THE NAVY.

BEFORE the test Of actual warfare came there
was no dstrust OF American seamen. It was
universally believed that years Of peace had not
left them unprepared for conflict, but that their
spirit was high their discipline excellent, their
fortitude equal to any strain and their prof1cien-
CIV OF a superior grade. With every successive
demand upon their valor and their skill the
confirmation Of this confident estimate has &C

skirmishes and sharper conflicts Of opposing
forces which have been reported the same read
