[For the Philadelphia Brening Bulletin. ] THE NAVAL DEPOT—LEAGUE ISLAND AND CHESTEB. Iti3 well known that the necessities of the Go- yemment require greater facilities and larger ac commodations than are now possessed, for the . construction, equipment. and fitting out of iron clad vessels for the Navy. This being an acknow ledged fact, we now propose to show what ad vantages-league Islanddtas over any other loca lity that has been named for such a purpose. In the first place, iresh water is a necessity, that every one conversant with the subject acknow ledges. Iron corrodes with five-fold more rapi dity.in salt water than it does in Iresh water. The bottoms of vessels returning from cruises are co veredwith barnacles, which greatly impede their progress, and require more power to force them through the water. The life of those barnacles depends upon their remaining in salt water, ana to free a vessel of them while in it necessitates tne hauling her ont, and removing them, in rresn water they die, , and drop off 1 “ t c °“ s League Island possesses the advantrge oi betn 0 located in fresh interest of ihfGove y rnment £ srimpormnta matter as lo cmtlife a mTval depot, to select tne point most con- TOnieit.fm- obtaining all the materials that are reauisitd'-for bailding and fitting vessels for sea. The ereat desideratum in building iron, vessels is •undoubtedly iron. The next great consideration is skilled labor. Scarcely any one will d -ny this. League Island being situated at the foot of the finest avenue in Philadelphia, within about two miles ol the built up portion of the city, and Philadel phia being the acknowledged centre of the iron trade of the country, and also of the skilled labor for building iron-clad and other vessels, and steam engines for working them, it is evidently the interest of the Government that it should be se lected as the site for the naval depot, should there not bo unanswerable objections. _ Thirdly. Another great desideratum for steam vessels is the facility for obtaining fuel- at the lowest Tates. Every one knows that this is the distributingpoint ot the coal trade of the country, and it appears almost superfluous to say that coal Is cheaper and can be obtained with more certainty andin greater quantities at its distributing point than anywhere else. This is another reason why League Island should be selected. The depth of water at League Island is snffi.- : cient and tospare for the largest ships, and deeply laden vessels, unable to enter the harbor of New York, have been compelled to come to Philadel £hia to land cargo. It has been shown that league Island possesses the requisites of depth of water, ot being at the centre of the coal and iron trade of the country, of skilled labor and wliat is of vast impoatance, freshwater. The question now arises,is there anything which can counterbalance all these advantages l The enemies of League Island, or perhaps, we should rather say thefiiends of other localities, have pro mulgated various absurd reasons whi their favor ite spots should be preferred. They have asserted that League Island is under water ; that it is new made land, and that the expense of bnildings would be so great as to counterbalance all its ad vantages. Now these statements are entirely with out foundation. The island has been occupied ns a grazing farm for over twenty years, by one of our most respectable citizens, and persons have been liyingNupon it all thattime. Oak trees, the growth of over a hundred years, are now upon it, and the land evidences a solidity of centuries. That the land is not greatly elevated is one ot its advantages, as the immense docks that mustneccssarvly beexca vated. will find a place of deposit for the dirt which will be taken from them. Should it be con sidered desirable to raise the land higher, immense quantities of coal ashes and cinders, for which Philadelphia finds it difficult to obtain a place of deposit, could be used for that purpose. But it ap pears unnecessary to speculate upon what may be done to remove any slight objections that canal ways be raised to the most eligible s.te. The fact id palpable to any unprejudiced mind that League Island possesses advantages not claimed for any other location. The interests of the country point to that spot, and all the false re ports and statements that are made to prejudice members of Congress against it, have no weight with the people at large. Under these circum stances, it seems a matter of surprise, where the opposition to the. location can come from. Let ns try to explain. The eastern people would like to have it, because of the im portance of such an establishment wherever it may be placed. It will be the means of giving import ance,-and creating business in its neighborhood. It is worth struggling for on account of the em ployment it will give the people. It is therefore wanted fct New London, and strong efforts have beon made to get that place chosen. New York is jealous of Philadelphia, and it is only neceseary for the people of that disloyal city to know that any enterprise is afoot to benefit what they con sider a rival, for all the energy possessed by them to be.put forth to prevent its being accomplished. The Government, it is to be hoped, hassaen enough of New York in the trying struggle through which the country is now passing, to be satisfied that such an improvement should be located far beyond its influence. After all the efforts that have been made, it ap pear* at length as if public opinion had settled upon the banks of ihe Delaware, and no one, until a very short period, ever dreamed of another site upon that river than League Island. Speculators; howCver," have been casting about, and such an opportunity could not be let slip without a des perate effort to make money. Thus originated the project of selecting the banks of the Delaware below Chester. The lacd in that vicinity has been purchased at low rates; for it wa3 worth but little and the original holders (with the excep tion of those who were in the secret) have disposed of their property at farm prices. Having accomplished the necessary preliminary, the scheme was ripe for opening, and the initia tory step was taken by offering to the Govern ment as much land’as would be required for its purpose. This looked liberal, and the necessary engineering being accomplished, r the Chester locality began to assume form and shape, although many thought it a mere hoax. But money and manoenvreing do wonders, and at length it apparent that the seed had not only taken root, but-* the tree was rapidly springing into maturity. So fiereistent were the efforts of the speculators that hey induced a number of the members of the Naval Committee of the Senate to visit the locality, to impress upon them the great advantages that would accrue to the country by locating the Nary Yard at Chester, and ignoring League Island. To accomplish this end, it became necessary to visit the latter place, but unfortunately lor the success of the scheme seme of the very gentlemen who had been brought to League Island in hopes they would be prejudiced against it, perceived at once its immense superiority over Chester, and have so expressed themselves since. we will now briefly sum up. by stating what efforts have been made to counteract the influences that have been brought to bear against League Island.; Judge Kelley, finding what efforts had beeu made to poison the minds of members of Con gress, and particularly of the Naval Committee, deemed it his duty to use proper and active means to disabuse their minds of the erroneous impres sions that had been made on them, and for this purpose invited the Naval Committee of the House of s?P* ese a tatl Testo visit-the different localities and judge for themselves. Communicating his in tention to the City Councils, the Cora Exchange, ' and the Board ol Trade, measures were immedi ately taken to receive and entertain the Committee properly.; Perhaps it is here proper to state that extensive preparations had been made by the Chester specu lators, -upon the occasion of the visit of the mem bers of the Naval Committee of the Senate*, under the auspices of Mr. Broomall, who represents the Chester district in Congress, to give them a hand some reception and entertainment. This was dona with all the honors, and the Continental Hotel was the. scene of . gaiety and speech ' making to a late hour after their return from the risk to Chester and League Island Invitations had been extended to a number of persons who wei e thought to be favorable to their t>roject,'and to give an appearance of fairness to the matter, three invitations were given to mem bers of the Board of Trade and Corn Exchange. By some unaccountable want of foresight, some of these people fell into the trap, and what was very strange, a few members of the Committee of Coun cils allowed themselves to be Inveigled hr some hind of an outside invitation, into attending the party on their visit to Chester and at the. banquet at the Continental in the evening. Thus Philadel phia was made subservient, in appearance, to the schemes of the speculators, and a door was opened to them to force themselves upon the Committee visiting here, at the invitation of Judge Kelley. Having put their foot Into it, it was deemed necessary to Invite some of the Chester speculators, in return for. the courtesy extended to the Philadelphians. This was not agreed to without much opposition, as it was contended by those who opposed it, that it was a strange po. iicy to invite the enemy into your camp. How ever, the less that Is said about this matter the better; suffice it, that it was at length determined that six of the enemy should be taken into counsel. The great high priest was among the number, the President of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Rail road Company. The invitations were extended; but o, when the time approached for the party te start, the vestibule of the Continental literally swarmed with the speculators, all ready and amslous to participate in the excursion. Here was contending that in consequence * atlcl courteous manner in which °. ur P e ' J P l,! - the whole body of be “Witsd:; This did not accord ° r tile reporters of the newspapers, who alwaya know better than an v • one else what is due to propriety lad co£r tXv ex- Presaed themselves as qnite incensed at the ffisnlt offered to the speculators.

IMPORTANT FROM THE SOUTH. PEOCLAHATION E OF L JE|F. y PA|IS TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON REBEL TRADE AND COMMERCE. The fferald) of this morning, contains the fol lowing: ME. FBANK C. OHAPMAH’S DESPATCH. Headquabtees Army op the Potomac, Feb. 14, 18G4.—1 have received Richmond dates to the ICthinst. Jefferson Davis has issued a flaming address to the soldiers of the rebel armies, which I send you entire. JEFF. DAVIS’S TBOOLAMATIOIf. Soldiersof the Armies of the Confederate States : In tbe long and bloody war in which youT coun try is engaged yon have achieved many noble tri oimphs. Yon have won glorious victories over vastly more numerous hosts. You have cheerfully borneprivations and toil to which you were unused. You have readily submitted to restraints nponyour individual will, that the citizen might better per form his duty to the Slate as a soldier. To all thsse you have lately added another triumph—the noblest of human conquests—a victory over yourselves. As the time drew near when you who first entered the service might well have boen'expected to claim relief from your arduous labors and restoration to tbe endearments of home, yon have heeded only the call of your suffering country. Again you come to tender your service for the public defence —a free offering, which only such patriotism as yours couid make—a triumph worthy of you and "of the cause to which you are.devoted. I would in vain attempt adequately to express the emotions with which I received the testimo nials ot confidence and regard which you hava recently addressed to me. To some of -those first, received separate acknowledgments were returned; but it is" now apparent that a dike general enthusiasm pervades the whole army, and that the only exception to such magnanimous tender will be of those who, having originally entered for the war, cannot display anew their seal in the public service. It is therefore deemed appropriate, and it is hoped will be equally ac ceptable, to make a general acknowledgment, in stead of successive special responses. Vi ould that it were possible to render my thanks to you in per- Eon, and, in the name of our common country, as well as in my own, while pressing the hand of each war-worn veteran, to recognize his title to our love, gratitude and admiration. Soldiers—By your will—for you and the people are bnt one—l hare been placed in a position which debars me from sharing your dangers,your sufferings and your privations in the field. With pride and affection my heart has accompanied you in every march; with solicitude it has sought to minister to your every want: with exultation It has m*iked your every heroic achievement yet never in the toilsome march, nor in the weary watch, nor in the desperate as; sault have you rendered a service so decisive in results as iu the last display of the highest quali ties of devotion and self-sacrifice which can*adorn the character of the warrior patriot. . Already the pulse of the whole people beats i% unison with yours; already they compare your spontaneous and unanimous offer of your lives for the defence of your country with the halting and reluctant service of the mercenaries who are purchased by the enemy ait the price of higher bounties than hav3 hitherto been known in war. * Animated by this contrast, they exhibit cheerful confidence and more resolute bearing. Even the murmurs of the weak and timid, who shrink from tbe trials which make stronger and firmer your noble natures, are shamed into silence by the spectacle which you present. Your biare battle-cry will ring loud and clear through the land or the enemy as well as our own, will silence the vain-glorious boastings of their corrupt partisans and their pensioned press, and will do justice to the calumny by which they seek to persuade a deluded people that you are ready to purchase dishonorable safety by degrading sub* mission. Soldiers—The coming spring campaign will open under auspices well calculated to sustain your hopes- Your resolution needod nothing to fortify it. With ranks replenished under the influence of your example, and by the aid of representatives who give earnest of their purpose to add by legis lation largely to your strength, you may welcome the invader with aconfidence justified by themamo riesofpast victories. On the other hand, debt, taxation, repetition of heavy drafts, dissensions occassioned by the strife for power, by the pursuit of the spoils of office, by the thirst for Ibe plunder of the public treasury, and, above all, the consciousness of a bad cause, must tell with fearful force upon the overstrained ener gies of the enemy. His campaign of 1864 must, from the exhaustion of his resources of mea and money, be far loss formidable than those of ihe last two years, whon unimpaired means were used with boundless prodigality, and with results which are suggested by the mention of the names of Shiloh. Perryville, Murfreesboro* and the Chickahominy, Manassas, Fredericksburg and Cb an coll ors vi lie. Soldiers- T Assured success awaits us in our holy struggle l©f liberty and independence, and for the perservation of all that renders life desirable to honorable men. When that success shall be reached, to you, your country’s hope and pride, under Divine Providence, will it be due. The fruits of that success will ndt be reaped by you alone; bat your children and your childre&’s children in long generations to come will enjoy ihe blessings derived from you thatwill preserve your memory ever living in their hearts Citizen defenders of the homes, the liberties and altars of the confederacy—that the God whom we all humbly worship may shield yon with His fatherly care, and preserve you for safe return to the peaceful enjoyment of your friends and the asFociations of those you moat lore, is the oarnest prayer of your Commander-in-Chief, JEFFERSON DAVIS.
