Colonization and Emancipation.
The colonization of colored Americans,
-attempted recently, is a failure, and we are
glad of it. The success of the scheme would
he to the injury of the country, for it is ab
surd to suppose that the presence of the
colored race in America has been the cause
of our troubles. The labor of four millions
of colored people built up the prosperity of
the South, and increased the power of the
and the South would still be pros
perous had this labor been free. It .is not
the black man, but the slave that we must
dread, and the slaveholder more than the
slave. Colonization, effectually carried out,
would take from the Union an immense pro
ductive population, specially fitted by nature
and experience for its work, and indispen
sable, we believe, to the development of our
agricultural resources. It is hot the black
man that we must drive away, but the slave
that we must annihilate.
Before the abolition of slavery became a
certainty, colonization had its value, and
especially to those colonized. It enabled
many slaveholders, who saw at once the sin
and the evil of slavery, to rid themselves of
their slaves, and it gave to the freedman an
opportunity in exile denied him in the land
.of his birth He could work for himself
under another sky, and buiia up, not the
system that enslaved him here, but the
home that is the natural reward of honest
labor. Colonization was then a blessing to
the few blacks who obtained it, to the few
-whites who granted it, but we think it was
never more that a local and Individual be
nefit ; that it never was, and-never could be,
a practical and universal remedy for a na
tional curse.
Even now colonization, when voluntary,
is often a benefit to a few hundreds here and
there, who have peculiar reasons for settling
in the West Indies. But such colonization
is little more than ■ natural emigration,
such as continually increases the population
of Liberia. It is very different from the
artificial, forced deportation of our colored
citizens, by the direct aid of the Govern
ment, based on the false theory that the
negro and the slave are identical, and that '
the country which has suffered so much
from the presence of the one, is in no need
of the labor of the other. It is a theory <
which the cetton trade alone refutes, and '
which contradicts the history of our national ]
srowth. > l
Emancipation has accomplished, in three
years, more than colonization could have
done in a century. Emancipation is the act
•which makes colored labor more than ever
an essential element of American prosperity.
Emancipation is the economical triumph of
the age. Emancipation is the annihilation
of all the evils that have arisen out of the
existence of the slave. Emancipation places
the colored man in natural relations to the
•white race; increases his capacity for labor
by enlarging his opportunity for develop
ment ; solves the problem of his future;
keeps that vast, hard-working, produc
tive, indispensable population precisely
where it is wanted ; relieves the South of
the system which has wasted its resources ;
and removes from the Union an enemy
which, for thirty years, has threatened its
existence. If the Border States know their
own interests they will rid themselves of their
slaves by emancipation, not by colonization.
The one is being accomplished against all
opposition; the other could not be carried
out were the people unanimously iu it's favor.
For these reasons, and others which are
higher, we are glad that emancipation is a
success, that colonization is a failure. In
proof of its failure, we quote the following
account, from the Washington Chronicle, of
the end of pn experiment which had the
approval of Congress, and the direct assist
ance of the Government:
“ Our readers will have noticed that Senator Wil
kinaon, some day* since, introduced a resolution,
which wa» adopted by the Senate, calling upon the
President tor si! the information in hia possession
relative to the expenditure of the sum of six huu
died thousand dollars appropriated by the last Con
gress for the colonization of colored persons declared
free by the nc»« of emancipation and eonfioation.
The President made a report in response to this re
solution, which, in due time, will doubtless be laid
before the public, from which it appears that some
four hundred and fifty colored persons (lourhundred
snd twenty, we believe, was the real number) were
embarked from the vicinity of Porhess Monroe,
in April last, under a contract with Messrs.
Poibes and Tuckerman, of New York, for the
Isle of A Vache, belonging to the Bepublic of
Hayti, and adjacent to that iiland, and near Aux
tlayea. These colored persons seem to have
been the subjects of misfortune from the day
of their departure. On their voyage, the small
pox broke out among them, and they suffered be
yond description. Owing to the mismanagement of
those In charge of them, their sufferings were, if
possible, increased after their arrival at the Island
of A-Vache, from want of attention and proper ac
commodations; although the President, in the con
tract, expressly stipulated that everything should be
done to promote their comfort. Their hardship*
were represented to be so great, and the prospect of
their amelioration seemed so slight, that Secretary
Ifsher, under the direction of the President, de
spatched Mr. D. C. Donnohue, of Indians, to ex
amine into their condition, and Mr. Lincoln de
termined, upon this report, to have them returned
to this country without delay. Accordingly, the
the ship Marcia O. Day was sent to the Isle of
A-Vaehe during the month of February, and yester
day the vessel returned and east anohor in the Po
tomac, a few miles below this city, near Alexan
dria, with the surviving colonists, now three hun
dred and sixty-eight in number on board. It is to be
hoped that this experience will teach us the folly or
attempting to depopulate the country of its valua
ble labor."
-Gen. Grant and tlie Army of the Potomac,
Gen. Grant is expected shortly to take
active command of the Army of the Poto
mac, thus following the practical example
set by Kat-oleon— at one time with his
army in Italy, and at another with his army
in Germany. Gen. Grant’s modesty and
self-containing in the midst of great success,
his quiet, habitual energy and constant good
sense, entitle him to the respect and faith of
the nation. Every step in his career has
only better revealed his keen intellect and
clear military sagacity, and to say that he is
a safe general is not the least or the most
that can be said of him. Whatever be his
future, nothing can blot out the genuine
record he has already made in patient,
but brilliant years of strong trial. When
he takes hold of what Hookah's generous
enthusiasm termed “ the finest army on the
planet,” perhaps his greatest work and his
greatest competitor will be before him, but
he will have his own renown, a large army,
and the strong practical sense which has
guided him in every field, to secure victory
again. The Army of the Potomac has en
dured its defeats as nobly as the armies of
the West have borne their victories. Good
and earnest, sound and whole-hearted leaders
of corps, divisions, and brigades, acting un
der the eye of a Commander-in-chief who
has full power and unquestioned discrimina
tion, should make the future success of this
brave army worthy of its years of trial.
Gen. Grant will have his first and chief
support in that brave, faithful, and able sol
dier, Gen. Meade, who has brought the
anny to Us present increased degree of effi
ciency.
The President has acknowledged cha
racter for saying good words in good time,,
and his recent tribute to the women of
America is an instance of this. He spoke for
afi the men of America when he invoked
the blessing which concludes the following
manly and characteristic speech: £
“I am not accustomed to the use of language or
eulogy ; I have never studied the art or paying com
pliment* to wrmen, bnt I mint aay that if all that
has been said by cratora and poeta since the ereatioa
of the world In praiie of women were applied to the
women of America, it would not do them juatlce for
their conduct during thla war. God bleai the women
of America l”
This is compliment, to be sure; but every
Word of it is true.
Mb. Miller, mis-Representative of Penn
sylvania in Congress, has attacked The
Presb, but The Press will not attack Mr.
Miller. Mr. Miller annihilates Thb
Press by calling it the “ Administration
court journal,” but, in spite of annihila
tion, we shall issue a paper to-morrow. Mr.
MmLBR attacked Judge Kelley also, but
we are glad that that distinguished gentle
man, with his usual good sense, saw that it
was superfluous to defend either himself or
this -journal.
The Free Colored Citizens or Louisiana.
Upwards of one thousand free colored
men of Louisiana hare addressed a petition
to the Resident, setting forth their readi
ness to sacrifice their lives for the preserva
tion of the Government, asking in return
simply the acknowledgement of "those in
alienable rights which belong to the condi
tion of citizens of the great American Re
public.” It states that when troops were
called out for the defence of New Orleans
they raised, in forty-eight hours, the first
regiment that responded, and that they are
still soldiers of the Union, determined to de
fends " as long as their hands have strength
to hold a musket.” We like the spirit of
this. These men do not threaten to with
draw the noble support they have given to
the Union if the Government fails to grant
their claims. If these are refused they will
evidently believe it an injustice, but will not
make one wrong a justification of another.
All that these free colored men ("loyal,
when white men were traitors,) ask of the
Government is its affirmation of the right
“of all the citizens of Louisiana, born free
before the rebellion,” to assist in establish
ing a civil Government in Louisiana, and in
choosing representatives (or the Legislature
of the State, and the Congress of the nation.
An admission of this right they say they have
already asked of General Shbpuey, Mili
tary Governor oi Louisiana, and Major Gene
ral Banks, commanding the Department of
the Gulf, without receiving any response.
These officers, after all, may have acted
wisely in throwing upon the Government
the responsibility of a decision, which must
be precedent for action in every slave State,
and of radical importance to the future of
the colored race. It is a matter which the
Government may have had reasons, of
which we are unaware, for postponing, but
which it cannot ignore; the decision should
be made formally by the United States, and
this consideration, doubtless, induced Gene
rals Banks and Shei-ley to adopt a course
which they must have known and desired
would end in a direct appeal to the Presi
dent.
General Rosecrans has said that the sol
dier of the United States, whatever be his
color, should have the privileges of a citizen.
It is our opinion that the most ignorant
colored man, who has sense enough to fight
on the loyal side, has sense enough to vote
for it, too.
Typographic Antiquities at tile Philadel
phia Library.
For some time past, we have had it in
contemplation to lefer to the typographic
curiosities and antiquities in the Philadel
phia labrary. In these that institution is
particularly rich. Dr. Dryasdust and his
fellow-bookworms might wander there, in
Bweet content, for houTs. Among the curi
osities is the “Golden Legend,” printed by
"Wm. Caxton, in 1483. Dibdin remarks of
it that it is without exception one of the
most elaborate, skilful, and magnificent
specimens ever issued from Caxton’s press.
It is, indeed, one of the most beautiful
books ever issued from his press, and is
of great rarity. William Caxton, it
■will be remembered, was the first Eng
lish printer, having set up his press at
Westminster,, about 1474, during the rei°n
of Edward the Fourth. The first three
printed works of Caxton were the original
of Raoul le Fevre’s Recueil dm Hisloirm
de Troye; the oration of John Russell on
Charles, Duke of Burgundy, and the trans
lation of Raoul’s work. AH of Caxton’s
woiks are in black-letter, and the largest col
lections of them are in the British Museum
and the library of Earl Spencer, at Al
thorp. By Wthkinde Wobde, his assist
ant, and who succeeded him at Westmin
ster, we have two or three specimens, among
ch “e th . e Polycronicon, printed in
1495; Chronicle of England, 1502: and
Fisher’s Treatise, 1509. Of books print
ed by R. Ptnson, the contemporary of
Wykkin de Wokdb, there is one printed
previous to 1500 in small and very beautiful
type. The Bible printed by R. Grafton,
m 1539, is likewise a book of fresh interest
One exquisite book, printed by Fust &
ScHom-EB, the first printers at Mayence,
in Germany, in 1459, is consequently four
hundred and five years old. The ink and
paper will favorably compare with specimens
of the present day. “ Augustinus-Liber de
Vita Christiana” is, indeed, one of the old
est printed books in existence. The large
folio volume of Plinx’s Natural History,
printed in Venice on vellum, by Jenson, in
1476, is one of the rarest books on this
continent. This copy came from the famous
library of Count McCahthay, and is in
excellent condition. It has been styled the
glory of Jenson’s press. On vellum, also
wm be seen a few of those beautiful books of
“Hours” by the early Parisian printers in
1510, the typography and wood-cuts of
•which have rarely been excelled. These
“Heures Gothiques” are of great interest
and beauty. A Chinese and Japanese dic
tionary is likewise a matter of curiosity. Of
early printed Bibles, there is the very rare
one by Sweynhbim and Pannartz of 1471,
who were the first printers in Italy. Of
MSS., those rarer gems of any collection, a
bible on vellum, of the thirteenth century, is
one of the most noticeable. It was present
ed to the Philadelphia Library in 1708 by
Dr. Yaux, of London. It is written in a
™^ eautiful charac ter, comprises
both the old and New Testaments, and is
exceedingly legible. There is, likewise a
manuscript Psalter of the fourteenth cen
tuiy, with neat illuminations; also several
other specimens on vellum, dating from the
thirteenth to the fifteenth century. But
the most beautiful manuscript of allis an illu
m mated Psalter on the fi uest of vellum,in the
Roman letter, every page ot which is
adorned with flowers, fruit, birds, etc., with
all the capitals sparkling in burnished gold.
Some of the miniatures are unusually in
teresting as fflustraing costume about the
close of the fifteenth century. Of early
printed American hooks, papers, and pamph
lets, the Philadelphia Library has, we
believe, the largest collection known, and
a number of them are unique. A volume
of a ranklin’ b newspaper, 1739-59, the only
complete set extant, and the Pennsylvania
Ledger for 1777, interspersed with numerous
broadsides and publications of the enemy
official notices, etc., enhance the value of
the collection. Interleaved among the lat
ter is the following placard :
“Dec. 30, 1777.
All Gentlemen

Will meet with the warmest Encourage
ment from the Officer appointed to com
msmd her, who gives constant Attendance
and^ expects early Applications, as it is in
tended to fit her out immediately on an ad
vantageous Cruize.”
God Save the King.”
A mere list of the books and manuscripts
collected will at least prove that Hie Phil a.
delphia Library, in this respect, is not below
the standard which it has the reputation of
having reached, although the value of its
collections might be doubled by additional
enterprise on the part of those who should
look to its interests.
“ The Philadelphia Inquirer.”
At a late hour on Friday night, am adver
tisement was brought to this office, signed
by S. Snyder Leidy and John H. Diehl,
charging the Philadelphia Inquirer with dis
loyalty. It was inserted entirely without
the knowledge of the editor. The charge
made against the Inquirer is untrue, and we
regret the use which has thus been made of
the * s kid an act of justice to
- UB to em t ,r ace this early oc
casion to bear witness to its loyalty to the
Union, and the Government.

LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.”
Washington, March si, 1864.
There are some sixty thousand colored
men enlisted and organized under and for
the defence of the American flag. The
alacrity and enthusiasm with which they
responded to the call lor their services, and
the valor with which they have fought when
called into action, have so passed into his
tory, that no accusation depreciating their
patriotism or their courage is now hazarded
save by the vilest and lowest of the Copper
heads. When we consider how much, the
American colored man has been purposely
misunderstood —how he has been en
slaved in the South, and driven from
ordinary rights in the North—how through
generations of time he has been alternately
bought and sold, and in many cases forced
to stifle every intelligent aspiration, he
may well wonder, when at last he had an
opportunity to prove his manhood in the
struggle between his oppressors an*, the
Government they were trying to destroy
that he did not fail. Horv would white
men have met similar injustice and cruelty ?
We have only to remember, or once again to
read over, the histories of those contests in
other ».&es, when oppressed white men were
-7 less ready or willing to defend their
liberties than the misunderstood and slan
dered negroes of these times.
But let ns try the negro by another test,
stiii running the parallel between him
and the white. What do you think the
white man would have done had he known
before going into the service of his country
that he would not probably be exchanged
by the rebels if taken prisoner ? What if
he had been admonished that, in the event
of his capture by the rebels, his life would
be forfeited; or that, as an amelioration of
this fate, he would be subjected to baibaric
cruelty ? I leave the answers to these ques
tions to those who arc in the habit of ridi
culing and reviling the colored defenders of
the Bepubhc. But I put it to these unjust
judges whether they will dare to deny
that the negro—the American negro—
has gone forth, in this terrible con-
I flict between freedom and slavery, with
the knowledge that, in all probability,
if taken prisoner by the slaveholders he
would never be exchanged, and possibly
that he would he murdered under circum
stances of the extremest cruelty, and un
doubtedly treated rather as a brute than as
a human being. Have these terrors daunted
him ? Look at the thousands of this abused
race that have rushed into the ranks of the
army, since they understood that they might
fight for the country. What loftier and
nobler answer to the assaults of their foes
could they make? Placed in the most
perilous positions, realizing how infinitely
they are below in point of safety, should
they be captured, their white brethren,
and how certainly, in such a case,
their fate would be death, or awful
destitution, they have never flinched, or
if they have, they have done no worse
than some of their white compatriots. Jfow
bear in mind, that up to this writing no co-
Iwed prisoners, taken with arms in their
hands, hare been exchanged by the rebel au
thorities, and this notwithstanding the efforts
of the Government to secure such a result.
If the thousands who have witnessed the
patriotic fire of these gallant defenders of
freedom, and who know that every colored
recruit saves the life of a white American,
Will read and recollect the plain facts here
presented, I will fearlessly await their in
telligent-judgment. Occasional.
WASHINGTON-
Washinoton, March 21,1864,
A Tribute to the President.
A committee or twenty-six, on behsir of the
Workingmen's Democratic Republican Association
or New York city, to-day preteated an address to
tbe President informing him that he had been elected
an bonoraiy member or the association. The Presi
dent made a lengthy reply, and gratefully accepted
the election. On the conclusion or the address the
chairman of the committee eaid they had only one
more thing to add, and that is, their earnest wish
that the next President may be from Springfield,
111., and bis name may be Assahau Dracoaw.
The Battle-Field of Gettysburg.
A portion of the battlefield of Autietam has been
purchased by Marylanders tor the purpose of ereot
iog an appropriate monument thereon, and the State
of New York has agreed to share the expense of the
purchase of land, and the erection of the monu-
Pennsylvanians are also engaged in a great
and patriotic work, in securing forever the moat
prominent points upon the glorious field of Gettyg.
burg, and of continuing them in their present condi
tion aa a monument of the great struggle. The
plans of the Association which has taken this noble
work in hand are well advertised. The names of
the gentlemen forming the committee, are a guaran
tee that the enterprise is not a mere speculation,
and that the project wni be pushed through success
fully, is evidenced by the fact that the field has
already been purchased, and that the stock is being
liberally subscribed for—not only by the citizens or
our State, but by prominent patriots In other Com
monwealths. The Association has heavy payments
to make upon account of its purchase within a fort
night. Loj al Pennsylvanians should be prompt in
their subscriptions.
Caucus of Republican Representatives.
A caucus of Republican or Union members of the
House of Representatives was held to-night at the
Capitol, Representative Moebili, or Vermont in
the chair.
The object of the meeting was a harmonization of
view# on the important pending questions, and with
a view of effecting an early adjournment of Con
gress, including measures necessary for the support
of the Government, and the bill reported by Mr.
Davis, of Maryland, from the Select Committee on
the Rebellious States, to guarantee to certain States
whose governments have been usurped or over
thrown a republican form of government.
Various gentlemen suggested different bills whioh
they thought ought to receive prompt attention,
but bo votes were taken as to measures which
should have precedence. It was generally agreed
Hiat those of tbe most public importance should be
first considered.
The Border State Elections.
The Secretary of War, in a communication in re
sponse to a Senate resolution, says that no orders
concerning elections were ever issued from his
office. He enclosed a letter from Assistant Adju
tant General Townsend, reporting that he had
given no orders to the provost marshals in Ken
tucky, Delaware, Maryland, or Missouri, relative
1o the elections In those States, and also one of the
same tenor from Provost Marshal Far, excepting
tbe deepateh of October 3iet, to assist Provost
Marshal General Jbbbkibs at Baltimore, viz •
“ DRect your provoat maiahals to give their aid in
carrying out General Sohbnce’s orders, for pre
serving the purity of elections at the polls in Mary
land.”
Encouragement of Enlistments.
Brig. Gen. Joshtja T. Owes passed through this
city to-day, en route for hie home at Philadelphia,
having been temporarily relieved of his command
of a division in the 2d Army corps, in order that he
might further the cause of enlistments in Pennsyl
vania, and the neighboring states, by his personal
exertions in recruiting.
General Owra, In combination with the late Gen.
E. D. Bakur, recruited originally the famour bri
gade known as the Philadelphia or Baker’s brigade,
and conaiating of the 71. t, 72a, solh, and lOSth Penn
sylvania Volunteers, which has been prominent in
every battle that the Army of the Potomac hat
been engaged in. '
The Case of the-Freedmen.
The Secretary of the Interior, in a recent official
communication says:
“ But little disposition, so far as the Department
is infoimed, besyet been manifested by thefreedmen
of the United States to leave the land of tbelr nati-
vity. I doubt if it be any just cause of regret. Time
and experience, which have already taught us much
wisdom, and produced so many consequent changes,
will in the end also solve this question for us.”
The Overland Mall Service.
The advertisement for the Overland mail service
was withdrawn on February I6tb, 1661, at the re
quest of the Senate Committee on Post Roads and
Post Offices; consequently no contrast has been
yet awarded for the service*

confirmed as a hospital chaplain.
The steamer Fairbanks, from New York, about
the safety of which fears were entertained, arrived
beie to-day. She went ashore on the eastern side
of the Chesapeake, and lay there several days, until,
with the aid of two vessels, she was enabled to get
off safely.

sylvania; of fracas and slander—yes, by the chairman
of the Committee of ways and Means, who never failed
to vent his ill humor and sneers on others. Instead of a
foil Investigation the other side of the House wanted to
smooth the matter over, and thus cover up their deeds
of w rong wh'ch they dare uot bring to the lighf.
Ttoe Administration Court Journal,
Mr. MILLER, of Pennsylvania, expressed his surprise
that Judge Woodward, should be assailed, and that the
»ta:e slander should be repeated. He now proposed to
put bis colleague, Mr. Keller, in contrast with Judge
woodward, and caused to be read au abstract from a
copy of th e Pennsylvanian of 1851, in which Mr. Kelley
Was called a traitoiouaaemUman, and branded with the
guilt or shameless inconsistency and hypocrlcy; and
farther, that when Mr. Kelley beaame Jadge he forgot
the land that raised him to power, and was a noisy and
impudent declaimer.
This, addea Mr Miller, was the language of Colonel
Forney, the Secretary of the United States Senate, now
the editor of the great Administration court journal.
That was what Forney thought then; God only knew
What he thought now. In conclusion, he said it was
& matter of notoriety that many persons were sent home
to vote. The presence of so many soldiers could be
accounted for on no other theory than that they were
sent to their homes at the expanse of the Government
Mr. KELLEY said that his colleague's lamented father,
who was his friend in the campaign of 1851, approved
his acts, and congratulated him when receiving a ma*
jority cf 10,000 votes in spite of the slander. The author
of the slander, 'which hie colleague read, was Robert
Tyler, the present register of the Confederate Treasury
Bis was the first open acknowledgment of sympathy with
each rebels. He repeated, he received 10.000 majority,
and he would let the people ol Philadelphia refute the
slander which had been reproduced here.
Tne amendment was in keeping with Tyler’s slanders.
It was a blow aimed at the wounded and dying, to pre
vect civilians from proceeding to administer to their
necessities He was on the field of Antietam, with
other civilians. There was only one conveyance to the
field, and that was in possession of the Government.
This amendment would exclude from the field p'ous
men, and others, who sought to soothe the wounded and
the dying. It was a blow the most open yet made at
our armies.. The author of the charge that civilians
were transported home at public expense to vote, had
Whispered the words of a craven scoundrel, fearing to
speak openly for fear of the infamy which must be
coupled with his name.
Mr. Kern an’a amendment wag, after further proceed
ings, rejected-yeas 42. nays 63. ■
Mr. BABDIHG, of Kentncky, offered an amendment
that no pan of the money appropriated by the bill shall
he applied or need for the purpose of raising negro

When the Committee rose, this amendment was voted

Edward Everett on t&e American Havy.
At the dinner given to the Naval Committee of
Cor giess, in Boston, on the evening of the 14th)
Hon. Edward Everett paid the following high tri
bute to the administration of the navy: -
The outbreak of the rebellion, however, found our
navy on a peace establishment, far bCIOW the fVADtf
of the country even in time of peaoe—many Of the
vciaela old and useless—nearly all sailing ships—few
war steamers—no lron-clads—the force greatly *oat»
2OT seamen only in all the navy yards of the
United States, to protect the Government property,
ana ordnance and ordnance stores in sad proportion
*£ *£•' number end quality of the vessels. With
these wretchedly inadequate means a Herculean
tack wss to be performed. Aotive naval oooDera-
Jion was to be attoided to the army, wherever the
localities permitted; strong fortreuei were to be
tottered down; the Mississippi opened, and kept
opeD, and a. aea-eoaat of vast extent held In stria» '
blockade. The line of aea-eoaat bloakaded, accord
ing to the measurements of the Ooaat Survey, la
3,649 statute mllea; the number of porta and harbora
to be watched 189, with much of the coast double;
3,615 milea on the Miaciulppi and ita tributaries,and
2,000 miles of sound, inlet, toy and river in the At
lantic States were to be guarded by our gnoboata.
This was the work to be done—(Ait is tht work that Acs
beendtme. [Applauae.]
The force afloat haa risen from 42 vends in com
mission in march, 1861, to 083 vessel*; the number
of seamen from T 600 io 31,000: while the ordnanoe
haa been augmented from leas than 3,000 pieces of
all patterns, many of them antiquated and, In the
prerent state of warfare, useless, to nearly twice
‘“a* number, mostly of the recent improved eon
struot.ona, many of portentous calibre and range.
Every ship-yard, public and private, haa been task
ed to ita utmost oapaoity j every furnaoe In the
count; y headmen kept at white heat night and day,
and an amount of work haa been performed on the
cosat and rivers, and a aeries of results achieved
without a parallel, as I believe, when the dis
advantages are considered under which the
navy labored at tbe commencement, fn naval
histoiy. Let Norfolk, Hatteraa, Roanoke l«l
-and, Port Royal, Pensacola, the Rio Oranda,
Fort Henry and fort li-"-;- island w- --

moJisbed by five shot from the Weehawken, 1045
captured from the enemy up to the lit of No*
vtmber, and from7oto 80 since added: the closure
of every port save one, ana that guarded by 20 ves*
sell, on this immense line of coast, bear witness to
tbe activity and eflicienoy of this arm of the service.
I need not, of course, disclaim any thought of under*
valuing what has been done by our noble armies and
their gallant commanders, who have borne their full
share in many of these achievements, but I am sure
that they, one and all, will do justice to the efficient
cooperation of the navy.
#Aad then that marvellous creation of the genius

reted monitor. If there Is an incident In the history
of the war which more than any other deserves to be
