People everywhere complain, and on just
grounds, of many evils which still exist—
many evils which a prudent and honest Go
vernment must remedy or remove—but they
have no adequate idea of the extent and enor.
ratty of the-wrongs inflicted on the Many by
the Few, even within the last fifty or sixty
years. Then, indeed, Might did what it
pleased with impunitY—then the Oligarchy, in
all countries, claimed and exercised immuni
ties which' literally placed the People in a
state of serfdom.
" For why ?-13toatioe the good old plan
Stifßeath them, the Ample plan,
That thepshould take who have thepowet,
And they should keep who con."
Things, half a century age, wore bad in
Great Britain, worse in Ireland,. and worst in
France.
In England and Scotland, the Aristocracy,
whatever party was in power, kept their feet
on the necks of the people—then, as now, the
Government chiefly consisted of noblemen and
their relatives. They might profess liberal
opinions, to snit their own purposes, hut they
had one common aim--namely, to advance
themselves, and. quarter their relations and
connections on the public. Hence, to this
very hour, the frightful amount of pensions,
the uneconomical multiplication of places, the
inexcusable maintenance of sinecures, and the
shameless perpetration of jobs. ,
In Ireland, oxen during the last ten years of
the last century, the penal laws were in exist
ence—a code which gave the Protestant such
superiority over the Catholic, that we only
wonder the Irish people did not rise el/ masse
and compel the Government to repeal it.
In France thingsyore even worse. The
Huguenots were not as openly persecuted by
the Law as theirish Catholics were, but they
were peraecuted : for example, a French Pro
testant was not allowed Christian burial in con
secrated ground. But the social and the po
litical wrongs which Power inflicted on the
French people were sufficient to have justified
a Revolution a century before it took place.
The English were-never half so badly off as
the French were. That is the reason why
there was no corresponding movement in Eng
land when the French Revolution took place.
Nor need there ever be a Revolution if the
people would act like rational, thinking crea
tures. Let them "agitate,' " within the law,
for the reform of abuses and the redress of
grievances, and they must succeed. It may
take more or less time, but Reform eventually
and invariably works out its own way, - and
when popular feeling once gets a voice, the
Minister who would affect to despise or resist
it would have to perform quite as bootless a
task as Mrs. Faitington when a high tide from
the Atlantic forced its way into her dwelling
house, and she vainly attempted to keep it out
with a mop !
The Revolution in France was justifiable.
There cannot be a doubt of that. Its excesses
and its enormities were unjustifiable. But it
was a greit popular movement, arising out of
the litter desperation: of the Many on account
of the horrible despotism exercised over them
by the Few. To restore that despotism the
Prussians and Austria.na waged war upon the
French—the avowed object of that war being
to restore the absolute and trannic power 'of
REMEDY
the Bourbons and the Aristocrats. It is well
worthy of special notice that the horrors of
the Revolution—the arsons, the butc,heries,
the planderings, the imprisonmehtdid, not.
commence
_until scum Inly, 4792' ;—;lllfeliet
commence± until the Alustrfarca'arie nrlrins
shins had commenced to wage war upon the
French. 'ln alliance and co.orratioh with the
Anstriiins and the Prussians were Louis XVI.,
his wife, and family, (professing at the same
time the greatest respect for the change which
had made him a Constitutional instead of an
Absolute King) and when;it was discovered,
by the People, that these Royaltpersons were
playing this double game, a distrust arose,
which in a short time brought them to the
sc,F, &id . It is a historical fact that the bloody
deeds of the Revolution did not arise until the
Bourbons had brought Austria and Prussia to
wage war with tits French. If Lords XVI had
acted in good faith towards his people, he
might_ have lived and died a happy and an
honored man.
The state of things in France when the
Revolution commenced—the state of things,.
indeed, which caused the Revolution—was
deplorable beyond conception. But credible
witnesses have recorded the particulars of
that -miserable state ; among others, Mr.
Arthur Young, Secretary to the Board, of.
Agriculture, who travelled through the length
and breadth of'Franee in 1787,1788, and 1789,
GANBDOR•
NEIVOUISNAIIe
—who was in France when the •Revolution
took plaoa—who was intimate with the lead
ers of that great national movement,—and
who, as one. of Mr. Fitt's officials, would
scarcely be likely to exaggerate the case
against the Bourbons and their Aristocracy. ,
First of all, there were the lettres de Cachet;
and there was the Bastile to confine - the
wretched objects who were caught by these
letters. In France, where the Revolution
took place, these lettres de cachet were per
chasable for money. If one man had a spite
against another, he had only to buy a lettre de
cachet, with blanks for the name and descrip
tion of the victim, and ho could Inimediately
have the said victim torn from his family, and
locked up in the Belittle, cc where," says Ar
thur Young ii he would exist forgotten and
die unknown." Cobbett somewhere reletes,
from an authority on which ho could depend,
that Lord Albemarle, when-ambassador in
France, about the year 1753, negotiating the
oiling of the limits of the American Colonies
—which, three years after, produced the war
one day, on the Minister for Foreign,
Affairs was' introduced for a few minutes,
ILECTIO FLIRSHI &o
into hit 3 cabinet, while he finished a short con
versation in the apartment in which he usually
received those who conferred with him. As
his Lordship walked backwards and forwards
in a very small room, (a French cabinet is
never a very large one,) he could not help,
seeing a paper lying on the table, written in
a large legible hand, and containing a ,list of
the prisoners in the> Bastile, in which the
fir3t, name wan Gordon. When the Minis
ter entered, Lord• Albemarle apologized Tor
his involuntarily remarking tho paper ; the
other replied, that it Ras not of the least can
sequence, for they made no secret of the
names. Lord Albemarle then said, that he
had seen the name of Gordon first in the list,
and he begged to know—as in all probability
the person of this name was a British subject
—on what account he hid been pnt into the
Basille. The Minister told him that he , kriew
nothing of the matter, but would make the
proper inquiries. The next time he saw Lord
Albemarle, he informed him, that, on inquir
ing into the cue of 'Gordon, he could find no
person who could give hlm the least inform°,
tion : en which 'he bad had Gordon himself
interrogated, who solemnly affirmed That he
had not the smallest knowledge, or even sus
picion, of the cause of his imprisonment, but
T.EUT lIE /LAD . BEEN CONFLNED TIIIRTY YEA.V.S.
“Ilowever," added the Minister, "I ordered
him to be Immediately released, and he is now
at large.',
The _Ultra de Cachet and the Beattie, how
.
over, were rather for the gentry than for the
itlower 4asses "—just as, in London, the
Tower is for one description of accused per
sons, and Newgate tor another, and the more
numerous. The French , Revolution was not
caused by the letfres de cachet, nor yet by the
Bastilo. It has been well said, by a Tory his
torian, that Franco would not have remained
prostrate for years under the guillotine of the
populace, if she had not groaned for centuries
under the fetters of the liability." ,
That was the truth. It was a revolt by the

marked and impassable distinction between
the patrician and the Ilebeian : a line of de
marcation which neither talent, enterprise, nor
success was able to pass. In England, a roan

the French people suffered, and - how thetiol
billy oppressed them. : '#.
In
In France, before the Revolution, there
were only two classes—the nobility at the'
top of the tree ; the people at the"foot. There,
was no middle class. Alison; says, 4e Onthizt,
one side were a hundred! , and fifty, tbousantt
privileged individuals ; oMthe othor,,the whole
body of.the French people. Ai/ situations et
importance In the church;the army, the &ant i:
the bench, or the diplomatic line were ex
clusively enjoyed by the former of the'se
Classes." In the other class weis'Afien of
wealth, talent, ambition,--and, energy, who
wanted to threw demi:the' barrier
which they, could not pass', under the existing
system. They naturally wished to be allowed
to carve their way to rank—they desirnid to
annihilate the privileges Which hail4e t iOded:
their own progress—they Wanted that eqUal
eligibility for office which the existing system'
refused.
About fifty of the great nobility ;of PIWICO
had usurped, in .a long course of Tears, all the
higher ; offices in the magistracy.. They had Fa.
monopoly of judge•making. In the - armi.
every rank above that of. a lieutenant W
occupied by the nobility—in the King's bodi
suard, of 12,000, even the privaie 'soldiers
were required . to be .of noble birth.- There
were 80,000 families In France chinning on
the descent, and about 150,000- individuals
formed the privileged class, who were entitled
to treat 25,000,000 as their serfs. . • '
One great advantage enjoyed by tffelNebilify.
was—exemption from taxation. This adiran
tage was also possessed by the Cleigy. These
classes were exempt from the most onerous
taxes on the feudal fiction, that the Nobility
defended the State with•their swerd3; while the
Oleigy interceded for it liy their
. Ordye'ra
This, too, at a time of prefoUnd peace, when
the nobility were frivolous and efferuinatelL
and at a time remarkable for.its'ilepraved mo
rals, when the higher clergyeehared the con
tagious vices of the period.,... :•• !. •
The capitation tax- amounted to4fonr shil

or manufactures,) and -it was bard that the
bulk of taxation should fall on•the cultivators
of the soil. The tattle and the vingiiime (or
twentieth penny) exclusiVely affected agricul
tural labor, and rose with its ,profits. This
double impost, in 1789, amounted to 171,000,-
000 of francs, or £7,504,000 sterling, equal to
£15,000,000 on the lend of England. The
result, according to a calculation made at the
time, le that if the produce of an acre were
worth £3 2s. 7d., the King bad £1 18s. 4d.;
the landlord had 18s., and the actual cultiva
tor only ss. In other words, that if this pre-: .
deco of an acre had been divided into twelve'
parts, the King took the landlord 31,, and,
the farmer had only one part. At the same:
time, in England, if the produce of an-acre
were £B, the land-tax and poor-rates would
be 108.; the rent £1 10s.; the eultivatcir's
share .£l3, or tbree•fourths'of the produce;
Instead of one-twelfth, as under the Frefich"
monarchy. The result was, tfiet the cnitiia-,
tors of France, or two-thirds of the entire ;
population, were wretchedly off. Arthcir,
Young calculates that the rural • laborer in
France was 70 per cent. poorer thari)in
England—worse off, in truth, than the la
borers in Ireland-
The manner of levying the taxes was-op
pressive. The kingdom was.divided into gene
ralities, over each of which was an Intendant,
appointed by the Crown, with almost absolute
authority. The Intendant distributedthe
rolls among parishes, districfs.and individuals,
and could exempt, change, add and diminish,
as he pleased. Thus his ownfrelations, friends,
and acquaintances, and those of his deputies,
had their proportion of the taxes reduced to
a nominal amount, while the mass of the peo
ple bad to pay the heavier for the favor Shown
to the others. Those who could bribe need
nut pay. The burden fell on those who could
least afford it.
The cosies, or obligations to repair the
roads, were also great evils. The cultivators
of the soil had the exclusive toil and expense
of this—as the nobility and clergy were speci
ally exempt from twilles, corvles, and militia.
Smugglers of salt were punished with the
galleys or death ;---overy one liable to the
faille was compelled to buy seven pounds of
silt (heavily taxed) every year, and fined if ho
evaded the purchase !
The Game laws inflicted, further injuries.
Large districts, granted-,by the Bing to princes
of the blood, Akre called Capitaneries, and in
these wild boars and herds of deers; in count
less hosts, were permitted Lc/ go atlirge, the
farmers not being permitted to putt up , enclo
sures to protect their crops. WhOever pre
sumed to kill any of these destructive animals
which destroyed his crops, was Sent to the
galleys. There were edicts which prohibited
hoeing and weeding, lest the young partridges
should be disturbed; steeping seed, lest it
should injure the game; mowing hay, lost the
eggs should be destroyed ; taking away the
stubble, lest the birds should bo deprived of
shelter; manuring with night soil, lest their
flavor should be injured. And the Capitani
ries, in which those laws existed, extended
over 400 leagues or 1200 miles of the country.
We may mention, in connection with the
Game laws, that there was ono time a statute
in the French code, which declared it illegal
for a Seigneur in some provinces to put to
death more than two serfs in order to warm his
feet, by putting them in their entrails, when
returning from hunting! "
It would occupy too mush space and timo
to go through all the oppressions to which
the people wore aubjeet in France. What can
be said to the fact that the people must grind
their corn at the mill of the Seigneur, bake
their bread in his oven, and press their grapes
and apples, for wine and cider, at no presses
except his? In some places, the « lower
classes" could not oven use a hand-mill.
Then the Seigneurs claimed and exercised the
power of selling to the peasantry the right
of braising buckwheat or barley between
stone s 4
The administration of justice was partial
and venal. The inferior courts were presided
over by the ignorant nominees and creatures
of the Seigneurs : tho Supreme Courts, and

the Seigneur wits-brought to bed, the people must beat
the waters in merstiy-distriots. to keep ths frogs "ler" ,
that she might not be distarbed. Latterly, a pri•onniary
has oonitmated BAB oppressive ditty,
even the Parliaments, were not always inac
cessible to passion, party, and pecuniary
temptations.
Tho power of the Sovereign had become
absolute. A warrant from the King or his
Ministers consigned any obnoxious person to
prison, unaccused and untried, there tore = main for the rest of his fife. The poWer of
sending any ono to exile was freely exercised:
M. de la Yrillidre alone, the Morrie Minister,
who quitted office in' 1775, has signed 50,000
lellres da. cachcl. Torture, even to within a
few years of the Revolution', was, freely used,
not only to extort confessions from prisoners
before trial, but to make their deaths more
.agenizing. The state of morals at Court was
'as bad as it could' ; the people felt. its
effects, .as it augmented the taxes, and-made
the Seigneurs sereri higher rents - out of them.
Finally, when the improvidence and waste of
former reigns in France, threw the finances
into a state of bankreptcy,(the annual deficit

NOItrOLK. NAVY YARD,
gins sltop- of war .. Cumberland, the flagship of
the Chesapeake on the 233 of March ; and as this
was the only vessel of any considerable capacity is
there waters that was manned, I detained her at
Norfolk to await events' that were gradually de
veloping in-Virginia y and the adjoining States. -
The navy yard at Norfolk, protected by rib for
trees or garrison, has always been a favored depot
with the government. It wan filled with MIDI and
Munitions, and several ships wore in _the'harbor,
dismintledind in ordinary, and in no oondition to
be 'al v ed, had there been men to move them .
There were, however, no seamen, there or on'home
stations to man those Vasiols, or even onenf them
of the larger clam, and auy attempt to withdraw
them, Or either of them; without a crew, would, in
the'then sensitive and disturbed condition of the
pablio mind, have betrayed alarm and distrnst;and
bean likely to cause difficulty.
Apprehensive, however, that action might be
necessary, the commandant of the yard was, early
is April, advised of this feeling, and cautioned to
extreme vigilance and circumspection. These ad
monitions were, a few days later, repeated to Com
modore McCauley. This commandant, whose pa
triotism and fidelity were not doubted, was cur
iniinded by officers in whom he placed confidence;
.but most of them, as events soon proved, were
faithless to the flag and the country.
On the 10th of April Commodore McCauley was
ordered to put the shipping and public property , in
condition to be moved, and placed beyond danger,
should It become necessary ; but in doing this he
was warned to take no steps that could give need
less alarm. The steam 'frigate Merrimack could, it
was believed, were her machinery in order, be made
available in this emergency. not only to extrioate
herself, but the other shipping in the harbor. Not
knoiving, h"ohever, who could be confided in to take
charge of her, a commander and two engineers
wore detailed to prooeed to Norfolk for that pur
pose. Two days after, on the Ifith of April, the
department directed that theMerrlaiaok should
be prepared to proceed to Philadelphia with the
utmost despatch. It was stated thatt to repair the
engine and put it in working condition would re
quire fear weeks. Discrediting this report, the
engineer in chief was ordered to proceed forth
with in Portion, and attend to the necessary prepa
rations.
On the 16th April the commandant was direeted
to lose no time in planing armament on board the
Merrimack ; to gat the Ply mouth and Dolphin be-.
yowl clanger ; to have' the Germantown in a °au
dition to be lewd out, and to put the more valu
able 'publio property, ordnance, stores, &e., on
shipboard, so that they could at any moment be
moved beyond danger.
Such was the energy and despatch of the engl
neer-in.chief,' that on the 16th the department was
advised by the commandant of the yard, that on
the 17th the Merrimack would be ready for tempo
rary service ; but when, on the afternoon of that
day, the engineer in chief reported her ready for
steam, Commodore McCauley refused to have her
fired up. Fires were, however, built early the
next morning, sad at nine o'clock the engines
were working, engineers, firemen, ko , on board,
but the commandant still refused to permit her to
be moved and in the afternoon gave directions to
draw the fires. The - cause of thia refusal to move
the Merrimack has no explanation other than that
of misplaced confidence in his junior officers, who
opposed it. .
As soon as this fatal error was reported to the
department, orders were instantly issued to Clom•
modore Pauldingr•to.proaeed forthwith to Norfolk,
with such officers and marines as could be obtained.
and take - command of all the vessels afloat on that.
station; to repel force by foroe, and• prevent the
ships and public property, at an hazards, from
passing into the hands of the insurrectionists.
Bat when thateffioer reached Norfolk, on the eve
ning'of Saturday; the . 20th,le found that the pow
der inagezinchad already been seized, and that an
armed force had commenced throwing up batteries
in the vicinity.• The commandant of the yard, af
ter refuginr„,to permit the vessels to be moved on
Thursday, and omitting it on Friday, ordered them
to be scuttled on Saturday evening, and they were
sinking when Commodore Paulding, with the force
under his command, arrived at Norfolk. This off.
oar, knowing that to-sink the ships would be only .
a temporary deprivation to the insurgents, who
would, when in frill possession of the place, again
have them afloat, ordered the torah to be applied
to the sinking ships. Pursuant to instruotions, he
also destroyed, so far as ho was able with his limit
ed force, the public property in the yard before
abandoning the pleas.
The Cumberland was towed down the river, and
passed. after some little delay, over the obstructions
that bad been sunk in the channel to prevent her
removal.
Tbts unfortunate oaten/Up at Norfolk not only
deprived the Government of several vessels, but of
a large amount of ordnance and stores which had.
there accumulated. In preventing -the shipping

insurgents, who had gathered In ooneiderable force

modore Paulding, the amen, and those under
them, performed their duty, and carried out, so
far u was in their power, the wishes of the Go
vernment and the Instrnatione of the Department.

The demonstration at Norfolk was but one of a
series of measures that ocourred at this jnnoture.
Simultaneously with it, Baltimore appeared in in
eurreotion, and by force and violent's, destroyed
the railroad communication, and oat off mall.and
6legraphio facilities between the seat of Govern
ment and the States north. In this oriole it became
necessary to act with promptness and vigor. There
could bo neither hesitation nor delay when, the
Government and the country were imperilled, and
the Department took measures accordingly.
Believing that the emergenoy not only justified,
but absolutely required, that all th,o public armed
vessels should he forthwith completed and equipped
for service, orders were given to that effect, and in
addition thereto the commandants of the navy
.yards in Bolton, New ;York, and Philadelphia
were directed to purchase or charter, arm, equip,
and man steamers which, upon examination, might
be found fit, or esseily convertible into armed yes
gals suitable for the pribilo'servic,e, in order to sup
port the Government and enforce the laws. •
To carry, into effect the
,proolamations whereby
communication with the Porte of the insurgent
States' was interdleted, and an embargo or blockade
declared, it became necessary to concentrate almost
all the naval force of the country upon the Atlantic
coast, at and south of the Chesapeake hay and in
the gulf of Mexico This extensive line of On
board, embracing an extent of nearly three thou
sand miles, with its numerous harbors and inlets,
was deemed too extensive for a single oommand,
and the naval force to carry into effect the procla
mation and execute the laws, has eonsequently
been arranged into two rguadrons. The com
mand of the first of them, the Atlantic aquadrort,
has been confided to Flag•officer Silas H String

command of Flag officer William Mervine. -
Before either of these gentlemen could appear,

grast, in command of the home egiiadron, established
non-intercourse, and gave notice to foreigners of

officer to say that he has rendered `essential and
active service, not only before - but after the arri

As the Constitution declares tbak " no preference.
shall be given by any regulation of commerce or.
revenue to the porta of one State over another,"
and. also that " no State shall, without- the consent ,
of the Congress, lay any imposte or.dntlea ou im-;

several of -the States thtsiieurgents had, in utter
disregard and:violation of thise exerees provision
of the Constitition end the'laws, assumed to give a
preference by unauthorized regulations of 'immerse
or revenue;to , the,ports of certain States over the
ports of other States, and had assumed, without
consent of the Congress, to lay impute or duties on
imports and exports, and that, too, not for the use ,
of the treasury of the United Stistee, but to deprive
it of revenue, it became a duty of paramount ne—
cessity, eating under the express authority of the
act of 1867 authorizing the use of the navy in
" caning the lama to be executed," to suppress,
by an armed naval force before the principal ports,
these illegal and unconstitutional proceedings; to
assert the supremacy of the federal laws, and to
prevent any preference, by common:n.l regulation,
to the ports of any of the States.
In carrying into effect these prinoiplea, and in
suppressing the attempts to evade'and resist them,
and in order, to maintain the Conatitution and. exe
cute, the laws, it became necessary , to inter 'lit*
commerce atlhne ports where duties could not be
oolleoted, the laws maintained - and executed, and
where the office* of the Gove.nment were not tole
rated or permitted to exercise their funotions. In
performing this domestic municipal duty, the pro
perty and =tweets of foreigners became to some
extent involved - fn our home (Indian, cod with a
-view of extending to them every comity that the

warning.
The questions presented under this extraordinary
conjuncture of affairs were *novel, and, not having
been in all their extent anticipated by our laws,
some further penal legislation, especially in relit
tion to the law of forfeiture, may be needed to meet
the exigency and render the Government more
effective. • *
STEAM. GUNBOATS ATM stoors
The necessity of au augmentation of our navy in
order to meet the oriels, aid in suppressing insur
rection, and assist in causing the lawi to be exe
cuted at all fhe ports, was immediately felt, and a
class of vessels, different in some respects from any
that were in the servioe, to act as sentinels on the
Coast, was required. On the spur of the moment
transport steamers were secured; but, though
litado`oapable of sustaining. a small. armament,
they were not such'vessels.as would peiforin - tent
tinuoue duty off the harbors in all weathers: They
will, it is. believed, answer a temporary purpOse
for the summer months, but a stronger and differ:
ant description of vessel is necessary for the au
tumn and winter. The department, besides purl
chasing, has, therefore, contracted for the huilditur
oftwenty-three gunboats, each of about Ciro hundred
tons burden ; and has made preliminary arrange
ments for several larger and fleeter vessele, which
shall not only aid in preventing Illegal commerce,
but be made particularly serviceable in suppress
ing depredations on that which is legal. Both of
these classes are of sizes inferior to the sloops-of
war ordered by the last Congress. •
The department, in carrying the order of the
last session into effeot, directed the construction of
two vessels at each of the four yards, making eight
Instead of seven to be built. In consequence of the
great activity and heavy demands at all the yards
to equip and.prepare every available vessel for ser
vice, the construction of these sloops has been re
tarded, but is now being prosecuted with vigor,
and we may expect they will be completed at the
earliest possible period.
The authority for these purchases and contracts
is to be found in the necessities and condition of the
country and the times. The action of the depart
ment may require the sanction of Congress to give
it validity. If it shall be asserted that an error
has been committed in thus providing for the wants
of the service and the Government, a much greater
error would have been committed, it is believed,
in the omission to have made snob provision under
the existing necessities.

Since the 4th of March two hundred and m y .;
nice ofEleers of the navy have resigned their eons:
missions or been dismissed from the serclee, This
diminution of officers, at a time when the force was
greatly enlarged, and when the whole naval arma
ment of the country was put into requisition, boa
compelled the department to send many of our
'labile vessels to sea without a full Complement of
othOolre. To some extent this deficiency has been
supplied by gentlemen formerly connected with
the navy, who had retired to Civil parsons in
peaceable times, but Who, in the' spirit of true
patriotism, came promptly foriard in the hoar of
their country's peril and made voluntary tender
of their services to sustain the flag' and the yours-,

tender thus patriotically made, and received these
gentlemen into the service in'the capacity of acting
lieutenants. The alacrity with•which they .pre
seated theatiolves for duty in any , position the
Goveinnient might assign them, when others who
had been. the trusted and htinored recipients of

was no less honorable to them than to the profes

In the ordnance branch of the service there has
been great activity, and' the works at the navy ,

'extraordinary demands that have been made
When the late commandant of the Washington

service, it was believed the true interest of the
country would be promoted by placing the yard
and foundry in charge of the efficient and capable
officer whose reputation In connection with ord
nance is national. If his rank did not, according
,to usage, entitle him to the position, his merit did.
TO obviate difficulty, and place that branch of the
'service in proper working condition, I would re
commend that there be appointed an officer, to be
known as the director of ordnance, who shall, un
der the Departmet4, have the immediate supervi
sion of the manufacture, description, and supply
of ordnance for the navy, in all its details. -

'vessels should remain on duty at their stations us
-long - as -possible, to guard the coast and prevent
illegal commerce. That they may do this eatisfac
tortly, Ms essential that the crows have frequent
supplies of treats provisions and other neoessaries
conducive to health. The department has already
so far innovated as to send forward a cargo of fresh
supplies, and it proposes to continue thus to supply
the crews of the squadron until the insurreotion ra
suppressed. Provisions and stores will in this
manner be deepatohed with sapplies cf all kinds
'that may be required for the subsistence and health
of the crews. Communication with each of the
principal stations will be established by these
despatch-boats, wbiali will carry to and receive
from the squadrons letters, convey recruits, bring
home invalids, and while performing these services
will also disoharge ooast-guard duty.
INCREASE OF SVAGZONS
An increase of the number of surgeons and as.
sistant •surgeone is also recommended. in con
formity with the suggestions of the chief of the
Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. A copy of his
report is herewith transmitted. The defizienoies
that at present exist will doubtless soon be filled,
but the full complement allowed by the existing
law is inadequate to the present requirements of
the service.
ACTING PATWASTNIt9
• The . additional number of vetoes employed
called for additional paymaster" beyond the num
ber limited by law, and the department, ender the
&rioting necessity, appointed acting paymasters..
Where this appointment has been neoessary it has
usually been oonnected with that of captain's
clerk, who has been required to give bonds for
the money and property entrusted to hie hands,
and his confidential relations with his commander,
have been snot' that it has been deemed a further
seonrity. I would recommend that there be an
increase of the`oorps of paymasters; or perhaps it
may be well to have a class of assistant paymasters
at a less compensation, and with less responsibility.
The minor appointment may be made a prelimi
nary step to the more important office of pay
,master.

discharging the duties that pertainto this De
partment. and which have devolved upon it during
the brief period it has been entrusted to my hands,
I have shrunk'from no responsibilities ; and if, in
terms lestaneits, the letter of the law has been
transcended, it was beoause the public necessities
required it. To have declined the exercise of any
powers but such- as were clearly authorized end
legally defined, when . the Government and the
country, were assailed and their existence en
dangered, would have been an inexcusable wrong
and a cowardly omission. When, therefore, the
navy was 'sailed into requisition to assist not only
in maintaining the Constitution and to help exe
cute the lews r but to contribute in upholding tha
Government itself against a great conspiracy, I
did not halite., under your direction, to add to
Its stren,gth and etboterioy by chattering, purehae
ing, building, equipping, and manning vessels, ex
-pending the organization, and accepting the tender
of 'services from patriotic individuals, although
there may be no apeotfio legal enactment for some
of the authority that hie been exercised.

• The determination of the people of the North to
fully sustain the Government in the prosecution of
its war for existence is nowhere better shown then
'in the firm feeling exhibited at the stock boards
since the receipt of the message of the President.
There is but one sentiment among the people—
'that we mast sustain our Government with our
property now, because we owe it to our good
Government that we have our property, and
if we have no Government, we shall soon
have no property. The lessons to property
holders taught by the example of oar ucluippy
Southern brethren, under the anarchical rule of
Davis, are not lost von the solid men of the
North. The promptitude with which they have
ontne up to the work required of them, thus far,
and the determination they exhibit to meet any
and all demands that the Government may fled it
neoessary to make upon them, in the prosecution
of the war for Union and the Constitution, show a
deep-seated patriotism, unsurpassed in the history
of the world. There can be no surer teat of the
strength of the popular affection for our form of
government, than 'the -steadiness shown by the
Stock Markets, in the face of the . announcement
that the Government will want four hundred mil
lions of dollars, to be voted at the present seasicn
