the Government by the destruction of property in the Navy Yard, could not have been much short of eight or ten millions. The cost of those immense and magnificent ship houses, and their contents, forms a considerable item in the account, and so does that of the Pennsylvania. Several companies from the South are reported to have arrived at Portsmouth yesterday. The Norfolk Herald has the following intelligence: On Sunday evening, the hull of the good old ship United States, in which Decatur captured the Macedonian, was taken possession of at the navy-yard by an efficient crew and towed down to the narrow part of the channel a mile below Fort Norfolk, where she was moored across the channel and sunk. Only a few feet brought her in contact with the bottom; and the naval force that shall attempt to pass up to our harbor must hold a parley with the old veteran till they can persuade her to stand a-one-side; while in the meantime the shot and shells from the two forts above, one o

ld unite us as universally and indissolubly as a war with England. May we not hope that she will give us this one proof of genuine friendship?--By the sacred memories of the past; by the credit our unparalleled material progress has brought on the British name; by the enormous wealth our staples have added every year to British commerce and manufactures; by the community of laws, lineage and language which has enabled us to understand and appreciate each other more than any other two peoples; by the seven years' incessant flagellations which our fathers administered to her in the American Revolution, and the innumerable stripes with which Decatur, Hull, Perry, and others, lashed her naked and howling through the world, and which entitle her at our hands to one final chance for revenge before we go ourselves to destruction, we implore Great Britain to follow up her vigorous words with corresponding deeds, and wrestle a final fall with a nation that is spelling and dying for a fight.

fficers of the frigate judge she was too far off shore to come under the liability of seizure in consequence of blockade, and told the captain that he ought not to have logged her as he did in such and such latitude and longitude on the high seas." We beg the reader to review carefully what has been stated above. He will scarcely believe, on one or on a hasty reading, that a captain of the U. S. Navy, claiming allegiance and devotion to the flag once honored by Perry and Lawrence and Decatur, and since their day, by Tatnall and Ingraham and Hartstene — a captain of senior rank, near the head of the active list of the U. S. Navy, and commanding one of the largest and most powerful steamers in that service — it will scarcely be believed, we say, even on a second and a careful perusal, that such a commander has done what is here reported. To meet this surprise and skepticism, we reiterate our assurance and assertion. The Sarah Starr, although delayed some days by sicknes

ercial marine. Steam does not require the Seamanship that is essential in calling vessels. One does not see on board United States vessels at this day such noble specimens of physical strong, such genuine sense of Nettune, as thirty years ago abounded on every man-of-war. At that time, the Navy was made up of men who had been oradied and reared on the ocean, and who like Long Tom Coffin, saw no use in land anyhow, except here and there a place to drop an anchor in. They were representatives of the seamen who bore aloft the American flag in universal triumph and glory in the war of 1812. But they have all passed away. The vessels of the United States appear to be manned now by dock loafers and chicken thieves, whose highest ambition is to burn down a few houses or rob a hen-roost. As to the naval officers, the flower of them are found in the Confederate service, which, we hope, in time, will be able to build up a Navy that will be worthy of the best days of Decatur and Perry.

The naval victory. --The moral effect of the late brilliant naval victory near New Orleans will be prodigious. If there is one field of action in which, more than any other, the North thought itself the master of the world, it is old Ocean. The splendid enterprises of Paul Jones, Hinman, (the one a Scotchman, the other a Cavalier,) and others in the Revolution; of Perry, Chauncey, McDonough, Decatur, and others in the late war, were enough to make the North consider itself unconquerable upon the sea. Nor have we any disposition to deny that they have shown more aptitude for maritime affairs than any people of modern times. But the sceptre is passing from Judah! The very waves refuse to recognize their ancient rider. Upon the eve of those naval expeditions which were expected to strike terror to the heart of the South, a little Southern fleet defeats a Yankee squadron of three times its force, without the loss of a single man! A noble beginning for our little navy! The
