A I'l.HP.T Of FIl'TV-TWO lltiiX CI.At).
I'n-h r ordinary circumstance the statis
tical pages of tho thin blue-covered tiovern
niont pamphlet w hich isknown as the " Navy
llogister" are not to be regarded a i-nlcr-taining
reading ; yet, as circumstances always
alter cases, the last issue of that periodic til is
11 notable exception to the rule. Bearing
date but six weeks ago ('September first.) it
bring u the fullest end best record that it
i possible to pet uf the aetual strength of
iiurNavy.and suggests a var'n-ty of rc.Hcctio.is.
I (.'omtnettoing the varwith a naval force
1 every way inadequate to 'he work required
j of it, we have added ves-e! after vessel to the
list, with n rapidity whicli is entirely unpre
' cedentcd in the history of any nation, liven
I England, with her maritime advantages, ha
not done as much in any eighteen mouth- of
her history a the United States have necoin- j
plished since the outbreak of thi rebellion. I
England has neither our wonderful wealth j
of resource nor our pushing spirit of enter
I prise, nnd although her necessities have
often been as great a those into which thi
country wa- sudden!- plunged, he has been
compelled to work more slowly than Wii, and
to-day is actually behind us in the race for
new improvements in naval warfare. The
spirit of our people, their inventive genius,
the native riches of the country, and the ex
traordinary vigor of our naval administra
tions, are the causes which have combined to
produce the grat ifving result si t forth in tho
ligures of the last " Uegister."
In n long article recently published in these
columns, we showed how, at the commence
ment of the war, our navy, then feeble, was
rendered still less effective by it dispersion,
nnd how quick! its component part were
reunited and made the nuclei!. of n new or
ganialion w hich has since grown to remark
able dimensions. Looking back over the
hi- tory of the p i-t year mid a half, it is dilli
cult to sec in what bettor inancr our naval
government could Lave been a (ministered.
To Set rotary Welles and his :iswt.int there
111 tist bo n w aided the nation's vote 01' thanks
for skill and eneroy in crealiug a powerful
navy out of raw materials, husbanding re
sources in such a way as to make every item
tell, an. 1 infusing vitality into all branches of
the service. Oi.r shipyards have been stim
ulated to a deLTee uf iioiivity v.'iich the
evigencies of the meroantiie service, pressing
a 'though they have been, never called out:
our mechanics have been driven wiih work
for many month, ami are still working night
and day under e ill fur new labors : our foun
dries are all busy; and thou-., mis f m- n
now building the vessels of our iron-cl.ul
licet. s;i find il ilitlieull to keep pace with
tin- writing energy - t'tli-- Department.
The Navy has had its share of the u -lii
-of this war. but ihe disadvantages under
which it labored were serious. There wa
l.ick of proper material and there was a taint
ol treason at tin- .-tart ; so that the one ),,! to
be provided and the other evpelle.l before
an r effective steps could lie taken. V-t, under
adverse circumstances like these, tin- - cre
tary and his loyal otliecrs went steadily about
their work and performed it. If, in extrem
ity, a few Worthless vessels were udded to
the navy, or a grasping speculator sw in-lied
the government out of u price two or thtce
tiuics the value of the ship he sold, the tem
porary misfortune or ii.ibanassiiiciit wa
p-mcdied. and the w ork still went on. If a
rotten vessel foundered, the Department
botiLdit no more of the shipowner who had
sold it, but straightway begun to build a
now and a stronger one. If a gunboat, by
chance, got badly damaged in a tight, the
keel of another was put dow n to lake its
place, and no blank w as left in the Navy List.
Thus, ley degrees, we have built up a great
Navy. According to the ot'.ioial record, the
aggregate number of ves-els now in the na v.
sen ice of the I'nilcd State is tut i'.;,i !rc!
nirt ihi'iiij fir. of this number no less than
.';'''.''"'" '"' !r'frM. fourteen uf which tire
tiiioataud thirty-eight bull. ling at New York,
.lersi v City. Bosion, Philadelphia, l'oru
niouth. St. Louis, Cincinnati,- Pittsburg,
Brownsville, Chester ami Wilmington.
We have eleven rams, live steam frigates,
twenty-four screw sloops, tight- four screw
steamers and ninety live side-tt heel st- amors;
not to mention a multitude uf small steam- )
or, terry Moats, si.ips-oi-uie-liiie una did
sailing frigates.
The most remarkable ft attire of the tata- I
login.- is the rapid increase of our i.on-ciud 1
fleet. The duel between the Monitor uud '
Mirrimae. while it startled tlie natal power j
of Europe into a sudden actit ity. gave u vig
orous impulse to American enterprise iu the I
same dil u tion.
Here are fourteen iron clad Actually in
service, carrying an aggregate of one hun
dred and lift lliiio gun-, and cuuntitig u
total tonnage of fourteen thousand four hun
dred tails I seventy lite ; while the irou-tlail
in course of construction number thirty-eight
and tl large proportion of these will bercudy
tor service in three or four mouth, tind till
oftheui in xt sprint. Two of these, nov
building (the Dieater and the Dumlerbi.i'gi.
are of unusual dimen-ions : the former being
throe thousand and thirty-three Mm burthen
and the latter over live thousand. Ti e
Dunderberg is to carry ten heavy gun, and
is going on rapidly nt Mr. Webb yard, iu
thi city, ller name is suggestive of lur
probable rapacity for mischief "Thuu J--r-Mountaiu."
