In addition, more than one kith& red vessels have been employed In patroling the rivers. The distance dt. patrolled on the Mississippi and its tribitarles le ..N855. miles, en the golf and the t Atlantic ,2;001:f miles. Sounds, rivers and • inlets have sled been penetrated and watched with unceasing. vigilance. The blockade ii hemming 'more effective and complete. There ,1:01 - been progress in repelling the rebels, from the coast. The rusprincipaled traders who successfully violated lair and Dahlia mo rality in illicit traffic with the rebels during the early Dart of the war have found .their operations during the En t year most dssas trout'. Admiral Lee continues to command the North Atlantic Squadron. Tho highest encomium is pasted on the naval officer, as men of sleepless vigilance end heroic bravery. It is not known that any' vessels elude the Vigilance of the South Atlantic Squadron,. More than a year ago, operations were com menced, with a view of interdicting all Oahe and if possible of capturing Charleston itself; but by reason of delays and difficulties in fit- ' ting Qnt the In-clad fleet, la demonstraion was not made ti ll till April 7th. A history of t the' operations before Charleston IS than given. ` The Secretary then alludes to the conflict that took place in Warsaw Bound between the Weehawken and the Atlanta, and Concludes that this remarkable result was an additional testimony in favor of tali Monitor class of vessels for harbor defense and coast surrey against any navy vessel/ that have been or are likely to be constructed to Visit our shore. It appears to have extinguished whatever lingering hope the rebels may Dave had of withstanding oar naval power by naval means. Admiral Bailey continues do command the Eastern Gulf Squadron. Then fellows a history 'of the operations of the Southern Gulf Squadron under Admiral, Farragut. Had a land force been in readi ness to co-operate with the fleet Vicksburg could hare been captured after the oceapation of New Orleans. The blockade of the Gulf is, satisfactory, and recently the rebel trail° through Matamoros has become insignificant, since the capture of Brownsville. Admiral Porter in command of the Mississippi Squad ron, is complimented as an officer of groat en ergy and extraordinary vigor. It in but a lit tle over two years shire we had not a naval vessel on all the Western waters. Now we have a hundred Vessel carrying 462 guns and 5,500 mon. Commodore Harwood commands a flotilla on the Potomac to Intercept the Illicit trams be tween Maryland and \ aginia. Admiral Chu. H. Bell continues to command the Pacific squadron, which comprises the same vessels as last year, with two additions. The naval force at, the commencement of 'the Administration consisted of seventy.eix reseals, and of these only forty-two were in commission. The additions which have sines been made hare elevated the country into a first class naval power. In the following ta ble, an exhibit is presented of the altered, numbers and deseriptitin of our naval vessels at the date of my last report, and at the pre sent lime : Navy at the date of the present report, 538 vessels, 4,443 guns, 4,679,612 tonnage.

'There hare bans added to the nary during the past year, by purchase, some thirty tugs, over fifty steamers for blockading and supply purposes, and over twenty other vessels f.,r tenders and storeships. At least , twenty of the steamers were captured in endeavoring to violate the blockade. The Secretary then discusses at some length tho improvements la naval vessels. Alter speaking of the wonderful revolution that has taken place la naval architecture since the war broke out, he proceeds as follows : The Monitor class of armed ships with revolving turrets, and from guns - of hoary calibre, has proved itself wall adapted for barber defense and coast eerier, and in some emergencies these vessels, from their great powers of endu rance, hare shown themselves efficient and serviceable In offensive operations. This form and description of vessel which originated in the inventive genius of Capt. John Ericsson, will : : - perform not only all that should be ex pected of them to make our harbors secure, bet when of enlarged capacity may supersede shis or higher pretensions. 10 maintain our rightful maritime position and predominancy on the oceans, vessels of greater sloe than any tarretted vessel yet completed may be essential. . Not only moot they carry.guns of a heavier calibre than have heretofore been used at sea; but In order to make long cruises and to rope successfully with any force, these vessels must have all possible strength, endurance ani speed. Their structure Mist therefore afford space enough for full sailing . 101/or, and for the most powerfal steam mac hinery; =id the large supplies of fuel needful tqlcoop it at work be ing unlike the other great marine nations, without distant collieries, their coal depots eon be, established on the shore of almost every ael• We must eanfOrM to the limes silica of eurcondltion, and build Ships with capacity enough to take ott board a fall and suillciest auppir for aloes g cruise. The space for other stipplies,feinsunitlons of war, for the necommodation'-of etlicens,ana crews should also ho ample; and in addition to tale, each of Ahem!' vessels multt,in order to accomplish Its work, present in its construction, armor, ir ma) Bent and .propulsion, all the power that the resource of modern invention and mechan ical sleuth and art can tarnish for attack, no- Altana. and - pursuit. A vessel of this do. icription most, of sours., cost, a large price. But thenwise etatemanship will not fall to 1 perceive that the posieesion of - even rely few ou c h incomprehensible, ships must, while the vastly augmenting force and . renown 'Of our -navy, afford us tt the sanittlineen Inestimable guarantee of peace with foreign nations.

The disadvantages of wooden vessels ere want , of etrength as compared with theta of iron steamers,and the' Moro rapid decay ogthe =erial, partienlarly when covered with Iron plating, the action. Of the lintnersed iron armor or copper sheathing near it, causes the copper to Imeome fortl a and the immersed ar morplatesto waste; the difficulty of keeping ,vessols tight under armor plates, and the Probably greater strength of iron, permits the construction of ships of greater silo and finer linos, and having greater internal capacity, their parts are safe from lire and are better protected from great leeks, as they can have water-tight compartments; their repairs can ~generally be more easily made, and from their great durability they aro prob ably in the end not more costly. An iron vessel, moreover, can be taken front the water and placed on land for preservation, which cannot be done With wooden vessels. The disadvantages- of iron vessels aro the serious local weakness of the thin plates composiug the bottom of an Iron ship, the danger that would result from getting on rocks or submerged obstructions, their liability to rapidly become foul ha salt water, whereby their speed becomes greatly impaired—there requiring to bo frequently docked for cleaning, the great danger from a shot striking below the armor plating as they roll, the injury caused by the splinters of iron when the plates are broken or smaehed by shot, the corrosion Inside from bilge water, the difficulty in making temporary repair of allot holes and the limited number of artisans yet procured having skill in this description of employment. It should- also bo borne in mind that while we have several navy yards for building yes- sole, the government possesses not a single yard and establishment for constructing these iron vessels, nor even for making plates and shafting. While the principal attention of the Department has in this minis of our affairs been necessarily given to present and more pressing necessities it has nevertheless kept in view the important end of eatablishing our naval power on a permanent basis. There aro ' no parties in this country fully prepared to build Iron vessels of the magnitude and de scription proposed, and the present high prices of uustenal anti labor unavoidably nuisance the cost. The Government itself is unpre pared to execute any such work, having no suitable yard and establishment, and is conse quently wholly in the hands of private par ties to demand what they think proper, add to prescribe their own terms. Besides the turreted teazels for coast de fense, and large armored ships for naval con flict, ..we nerd, and should have, steamers of high speed, constructed of wood, with which to sweep the ocean, and chase and bunt down the versals of an enemy. Fortunately we aro able to supply ourselves with teasels of this description, and a competent and healthful competition exists for their construction. A large proportion of the establishments adapted to the construction of nautical engines have been enlisted by the department in the man ufacture of steam machinery for vessels build ing at the nary yards and at private estab- I lishmenta. The Secretary advises not only an additional navy yard, but also the enlargement of the yard at Philadelphia, which could be done for three hundred thousand dollars. But with that addition the yard would still be wholly inadequate to the public necessities, and to small for an extensive establishment as the want, of the Government require. It would uhdoubtedly ho the part of wisdom and true economy to procure ground with ample water front for snob an establishment as the increas ing peblie wants demand in -the vicinity sf Philadelphia, and so 11040 as it tan be made available to dispose of the present grounds and apply the proceeds towards improving the new location. League Island and Berens Hook, near Philadelphia, are suggested us suitable locations. I deem it proper to again allude to the ex pediency of establishing at no distant day a naval depot, yard and foundry at tome acces sible and suitable point on one of the rivers is the valley of the Mississippi. The selection of an appropriate Broaden for this purpose 1 where vessels can be constructed and repaired is a question - of - national importance. The United States have, at this time, ono hundred naval versals en the Mississippi and its tribu taries. Iron and coal, Al well as wood, with all the materials for ships-of-war, are attend ant, and may be realist contiguous to eligible situations. Steamers of iroa will eudate for ye•rs in fresh water, and the naval rissole which the government may place In those rivers will ba preserved. Should the projected water com munication connecting the northern lakes with the great interior risers by an enlarged ship canal be carried into effect, the Minis sippi squadron could he made available for the decenee of one northern frontier, when circumstances required it. The Secretary makes a strong appeal in Le- 1 half of Naval Education, urging the thorough instruction of every officer of the line in Engi neering,ein addition to their llama acquire ments. The naval service and the country have suffered injury that eau scarcely be es timated, from the want of thorough; capable and well educated engineers. Many of our most efficient respell bars been disabled and crippled is the midst of their cruise, and sometimes even at the very commencement of theirsortice, in consequence of the incapacity of tie engineers, whereby the country hare been deprired not only of the use of tho vessel Sro weeks and sometimes for months but the °abler' and crow have been eensaained tubs tetivity instead of being employed against the enemy. Some measures are necessary to contract and prevent these disasters so injurloy to the country, and I know of 120110 so thorough and complete as that publicly educating and trainingengineers to the service. The most important branch or study at the Naval Academy is very appropriately sea manship, a general knowledge of the applica tion and use of steam, and practical mechanics should follow, as almost equally ersential. Line ofileete of the Navy, of whatever rank, should, moreover, have the privilege of at tending leeturei and pursuing the study of steam, mechanics, and, indeed, every branch that may be taught at the Navy Academy, and it is recommended that arrangements be made for carrying into effect these suggestions. Fronting, as our country does, on the two great oceans, this system would insure to us, let, reseals built and ready at alt times for fighting purposes. 2d, An organizattion of able and effi cient officers with well trained and educated seamen actively employed, and alwdys ready for naval service. Id. Rapid mail communi cation with different parts of the world, the whole furnishing a nuclei], for the navy, whore both officers and both class of seamen would be constantly improving and fitting them selves for the highest public usefulness. No better school or training could bo instituted for modernnaval warfare. When seamanship is so much In advance of Whatprevailed when only sidling vessels were known to the navy, such a system would, besides being St nursery for the navy contribute to the ex pared= of our commerce, which itwottldetint elate and encourage, and with width it would not come Incompetent under the naval and merchant service, would fraternize and be' educated together when the country last nese*, and in time of war would combine the power j of both for tationalpurposes.
