The sunken vessels.

--Col. Haupt, the engineer and contractor for building the Hoosac Tunnel, has made proposals to the Washington War Department for raising the sunken vessels at the Gosport Navy-Yard. He proposes to furnish competent men to perform the task at reasonable compensation, and to superintend and give direction to the engineering department in person, free of charge. All beyond this that he stipulates is, that the Government shall furnish a sufficient force to protect the men in their operations. He says that the work can be done in sixty days.
