REPORT
OF
THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.
Navy Department, November 25, 1844.
Sir:
I have the honor to present to you the annual report of the condition and operations of this department of the public service.
The navy of the United States consists of 6 ships of the line, 1 razee, 14 frigates, 21 sloops of war, 16 brigs and schooners, 3 store-ships, and 8 steamers, afloat.
There are on the stocks, in an unfinished state, 4 ships of the line, 3 frigates, 1 store-ship, an iron steamer at Pittsburg, and one at the navy-yard at Washington, to be used as a water tank. Since the last annual report, after careful survey and inspection, it was found most conducive to the public interest to sell the frigate Hudson, and the store-ships Consort and Chipola, and orders have been recently given for the sale of the Pioneer. In each case, the navy agent conducting the sale was limited as to the price, and the sales are satisfactory. The Hudson was originally built by contract for a foreign government, was found to be unworthy of repair, and it was believed to be more advantageous to sell than to break her up.
The vessels in commission have been employed as follows:
In the home squadron, the frigate Potomac, the sloops Vincennes, Vandalia, and Falmouth, the brigs Somers and Lawrence, and the steamer Union, under the command of Commodore Connor. In the month of August the Vincennes returned north from the gulf of Mexico, was put in ordinary, and her crew discharged.
In the Mediterranean sea, the squadron was under command of Commodore Morris until he left that station in the Delaware 74 in February, when the command devolved on Commodore Joseph Smith. Our naval forces in that sea consist of the frigates Cumberland and Columbia, the sloops Plymouth and Fairfield, and the store ship Lexington. The new sloop St. Mary's is under orders, and will proceed, as soon as she is ready for sea, to relieve the Fairfield.
On the coast of Brazil, the squadron has consisted of the Columbus 74, frigates Raritan and Congress, sloops John Adams and Boston, brig Bainbridge, and schooner Enterprise.
The Columbus, John Adams, and Enterprise, have returned home, been put in ordinary, and their crews discharged. This squadron is under the command of Commodore Daniel Turner.
In the Pacific ocean there have been employed the frigates United States and Savannah, sloops Cyane, Levant; and Warren, schooner Shark, and store-ship Relief. The United States and Cyane have returned home, been put in ordinary, and their crews discharged. The new sloop Ports-
--514--
mouth has been fitted for sea, and is under orders to join this squadron. Commodore Thomas Ap C. Jones was relieved from the command by-Commodore Alexander J. Dallas, by whose lamented death, in the month of June last, the command devolved on Captain James Armstrong, the second in command. Commodore John D. Sloat has been ordered to the Pacific, to assume command on that station.
No change has been made in the vessels composing the East India squadron since the last annual report. The frigate Brandywine arrived at Macao, with the Hon. Caleb Cushing on board, in February last. The sloop St. Louis, and the brig Perry have since arrived at the same port. Both of these vessels were detained on their outward passage by the illness of Commander Cocke, of the St. Louis, and of Commander Dupont, of the Perry. To the mortification of both these officers, and to the regret of the department, each was compelled, by the state of his health, to relinquish his command and return to the United States. Captain McKeever and Commander John Stone Paine were sent out to supply their places. The squadron is commanded by Commodore Foxhall A. Parker. The frigate Constellation, bearing the pennant of Commodore Kearney, returned home in April last, after a cruise of nearly four years. She has been laid up, and her crew discharged.
The squadron on the coast of Africa, under command of Commodore M. C. Perry, consists of the frigate Macedonian, sloops Saratoga and Decatur, and brig Porpoise, mounting ninety-three guns. The sloops Preble and Yorktown, and brig Truxtun, have been sent out to relieve the Saratoga, Decatur, and Porpoise. The new sloop Jamestown has been launched, and is in active preparation to go to sea to relieve the Macedonian. Commodore Charles W. Skinner has been ordered to proceed in her to the station, and relieve Commodore Perry. Another sloop will be ordered to the station with all practicable despatch. The squadron, as thus constituted, will mount eighty-three guns. It is found that single-decked vessels are best suited to this service, and that in them the health of the officers and crews will be more secure than in those of a larger class and more difficult of ventilation. It affords me pleasure to state that the apprehensions which were entertained for the health of the squadron have not been realized. While at sea, it is found that their health is good, and the deleterious influence of the climate is only felt by those on. shore. The operations of the squadron have, it is believed, exercised a favorable influence in preventing the slave-trade. With the provision of our laws denouncing it as piracy, and the presence of our own naval forces, with authority to visit all vessels under the American flag, it is not probable that our citizens will engage in this disgraceful and perilous traffic, or our flag be used by others to any great extent.
If other christian nations would inflict the same punishment on the offenders, it is not improbable that the trade would cease.
The store-ship Erie is about to sail from New York with stores for this squadron. The unhealthiness of a residence on shore, the influence of the climate in deteriorating provisions when in store, and the difficulties of landing them, make it very desirable to have a large and well-found store-ship permanently attached to the station.
No alteration has been made in the cruising-grounds of the several squadrons since the last annual report.
The following vessels have been employed on special service: The frigate Constitution, Captain Percival, sailed from New York on the 29th
--515--
May last, on a cruise in the Indian ocean. The Hon. Henry A. Wise took passage in this ship, and was landed at Rio de Janeiro on the 6th August, when she proceeded on her cruise.
The steamer Princeton, Captain Stockton, has been employed in gun-practice and experiments. She is under orders to be prepared for a cruise to test her qualities, as well under her sails as her steam, and to determine the advantages of her mode of propulsion.
The steamer Poinsett, Lieut. Semmes, has been employed in making surveys between Apalachicola bay and the Balize. The work is finished, and she will be laid up for the winter.
The brig Truxtun, Lieut. Upshur, returned from Constantinople in January last, with the remains of Commodore David Porter, and in June sailed to join the squadron on the coast of Africa, under command of Commander Bruce.
The steamers "Col. Harney" and "Gen. Taylor" were transferred from the "War Department for the use of the navy. The former has been employed in the transportation of recruits and supplies for the navy, and is now under orders to sail without delay, under command of Lieut. Lynch, to prevent trespasses on the live oak and other timber on the public lands between Cape Sable and the Balize, with instructions to give aid to merchant vessels in distress during the coming winter. The "Gen. Taylor," Lieut. Farrand, has been employed for like purposes during the past season.
The schooner Phoenix and brig Oregon have been successively employed under the command of Lieut. Arthur Sinclair, as a packet between this country and the isthmus of Darien. The mails for the. squadron, and for such of our citizens as choose to adopt this mode of conveyance, are regularly forwarded by this route. The schooner Flirt, Lieut. Davis, will be employed in the same duty. It is believed that great advantage to the service and to the public will result from this mode of communication with the Pacific ocean.
The Pennsylvania, at Norfolk; the North Carolina, at New York; the Ohio, at Boston; the Experiment, at Philadelphia; the On-ka-hy-e, at Charleston; and the Ontario, at Baltimore, are employed as receiving vessels.
The force estimated for, and proposed to be employed, during the year commencing on the 1st day of July, 1845, consists of 10 frigates, 13 sloops of war, 7 brigs, 2 schooners, 4 armed steamers, 3 small steamers, 4 store-ships, and 2 small vessels.
It is not so large as that estimated for in the last annual report; but it is somewhat larger than that authorized by the appropriations for the current fiscal year. It is confidently believed that this force may be most advantageously employed in giving protection to American commerce, which is daily enlarging its operations in every region of the globe.
The cruising grounds of the several squadrons are so extended, and the interests of our fellow-citizens requiring their protection so large, that it is hardly possible, with the utmost zeal and activity on the part of the officers, to visit many points where the presence of a national ship is necessary to attain this great object. To this protection they are entitled. In affording it, a high public duty is discharged; the officers and men are kept familiar and practised in their duties; and it is not believed that the public, vessels sustain more damage than if kept in ordinary. By the act of the 17th June, 1844, it is provided that the whole num-
--516--
ber of petty officers, seamen, ordinary seamen, landsmen, and boys, in the naval service during the current fiscal year, shall not exceed, at any one time, seven thousand five hundred men. The department promptly gave orders to suspend the enlistment of men, and to discharge the crews of the vessels as they reached our own waters, until the required reduction was effected. The line-of-battle ships have been put out of commission, except as receiving vessels, and the complements of men allowed to the several classes carefully revised, and reduced to the lowest point consistent with the safety of the vessel and the honor of the flag. It is hardly possible, in view of the changes of crews on foreign stations, to maintain any specific number with exact precision. The department has endeavored to conform to the law, and it is believed that the measures adopted have been successful.
I deem it my duty to suggest that the reduction made by that proviso will, in my opinion, be injurious to the public interest. It precludes the employment of ships of the largest class; and if it should become the settled policy of the government, the officers who will be required to command them, in the event of war, will not have that degree of familiarity with the order and management of ships of the line which is essential to success. There are also considerations of great weight against adopting as a maximum the number of men intended to be actually employed. In sending reliefs to squadrons abroad, it will frequently happen that the relief vessel sails before the one to be relieved returns home; while one is on the way to her station and the other on her return, there is apparently a double crew in service, but not so for any valuable purpose. With such a restriction, no public exigency or unforeseen national necessity would authorize an addition to the number, until the law could be repealed. The coast survey, the ordinary and the receiving ships, all require men, and they form a part of those allowed to the navy.
I have, therefore, caused estimates to be prepared for nine thousand men for the next year; and it is believed that this number will not leave available, for the ships of war in their appropriate duty on foreign service, more than seven thousand five hundred men.
An increase of the number of pursers and surgeons is respectfully recommended. The number of the former is not sufficient to relieve the commanding officers from the necessity of performing the duties of purser. For this they are not compensated; the duties are not professional; and they are sometimes involved in apparent defalcations, for want of knowledge of accounts and of the required forms of vouchers. The duties of disbursing officer place the commander in such a relation to the crew, as to affect, injuriously the discipline of the ship. If provision shall be made for the increase of the number of disbursing officers of the navy, as is earnestly recommended, it may be effected with more economy, and with great advantage, by authorizing the appointment of assistant pursers at a small salary. Twelve such officers might be employed with great advantage in the small vessels in commission. They would acquire an accurate knowledge of their duties, and constitute a class from which promotions to the more important and responsible office of purser might be advantageously made. In the British naval service, the employment of clerks in charge, in the smaller vessels, doing the duty of purser, has been approved, after long experience.
The number of surgeons and assistants is found to be below the wants
--517--
of the service. The Oregon had to proceed to sea, recently, with a citizen surgeon; and the voluntary but reluctant resignation of several passed assistant surgeons of great merit shows that the duties required of those in service are greater than they ought to be subjected to.
The measures adopted to keep a regular property account, and to enforce accountability in the purchasing and disbursing of supplies and in the public stores, have been very successful.
The inventories exhibit a very large amount of public property under the control of this department; and the returns required, and the examinations to which they are subjected, will insure, in a great degree, against any abuse or waste in this respect.
There appeared to be a considerable quantity of articles of various kinds which were no longer fit for use. After a careful selection of those which could be made available with repair, the residue have been directed to be. sold, and the proceeds carried to the head of appropriation from which they were purchased. A detailed statement of these sales will be communicated as soon as they are closed.
Under the act of the 17th of June, 1844, and the joint resolution of 18th February, 1843, a hemp agent has been appointed for the State of Missouri. The agents for Kentucky and Missouri have been instructed to afford every facility and information on the subject, and arrangements have been adopted for purchases of hemp, with a view of carrying out the policy indicated by Congress—of buying no more foreign hemp, if domestic can be procured of suitable quality, and at as low a price. Some deliveries have been made, and the reports as to their quality are highly satisfactory. The same rule has been adopted in procuring supplies of sail-duck.
To enable the hemp-growers to have their products submitted to the necessary tests and inspection with greater convenience, it is proposed to establish a rope-walk at the Memphis depot, on the Mississippi river.
In execution of the act of the 15th June last, to establish a navy-yard at or adjacent to the city of Memphis, a board of officers was organized and ordered to repair to that city, accompanied by Mr. Sanger, the engineer of the Bureau of Yards and Docks. Captain Rousseau, Commander Adams, and Lieutenant Johnston, were ordered on this duty; they made the selection, and reported the results of their examinations, with a draught and diagram, and with the evidences of title as far as made. The selection is approved, and believed to be highly advantageous. But the difficulties, or rather delays, unavoidably encountered in obtaining a perfect title to the site, have suspended the organization of the establishment and the commencement of active operations. Estimates of additional appropriations for this work are presented.
It is proposed to finish the construction of the frigate St. Lawrence, of the sloops Albany and Germantown, and of the steamer at Pittsburg. The estimates from the Bureau of Construction contemplate the completion of these vessels and their equipment. The reasons on which this recommendation is founded are stated by the chief of that bureau in his special report. Under the general head of appropriation for "increase, repair, &c.," as now presented, coal and hemp, which have heretofore been a subject of specific appropriation, are included.
It is not proposed, during the coming year, to procure any additional supplies of live-oak timber beyond those already contracted for. A schedule of all outstanding contracts for supplies of materials for construction;
--518--
was prepared, by my direction, soon after, the adjournment of Congress; and they have been satisfactorily adjusted and closed, or limited so as to bring them to a speedy consummation. The estimates from this bureau provide for the repairs of the necessary vessels to keep up the contemplated force under any circumstances of- accident, disaster, or recall; and for the wear and tear of vessels in commission or in ordinary.
It is also submitted for the consideration of Congress, that an appropriation be made to rebuild the frigate Guerriere; for completing the iron war-steamer which Robert L. Stevens, esq., has contracted to build according to the provisions of the act of April 14,1842; and to build a brig to replace the Enterprise.
The estimates from the Bureau of Yards and Docks are made with a view of prosecuting with efficiency the dockyard at Memphis, with its appendages; the works at Pensacola; and to carry out the plan of improvements at the other dock-yards, which was adopted in the year 1828. Amongst the buildings estimated for at Pensacola, is a house or shelter for coals for steamers, which is deemed of very great consequence to the future operations of our naval forces. Whether appropriations shall be made now, or at a future time, to complete the plan of the Atlantic dockyards, is a question respectfully submitted for the consideration of Congress.
There are reasons of great weight in favor of progressing with all these works with some degree of activity. Labor is at a moderate price, and employment eagerly sought after. It is desirable to retain in the public service experienced mechanics and laborers accustomed to the routine of duty and to the regulations of the public works. Thus, on an emergency, the public interest will not suffer by suddenly calling into employment men who are not thus prepared to be efficient. By temporary employment and sudden discharges in dockyards, great distress is often produced, which justice to the men employed, and a due regard to the public interest, forbid.
By the act of 17th June, the Secretary of the Navy was directed to expend an appropriation therein made in "continuance of the work already commenced at Brooklyn for the construction of a stone dry-dock, or in the construction of a dry-dock on some other plan, if he shall deem the same better suited for the purposes of the navy, as in his discretion he shall deem best for the public interest."
In a subsequent section of the same act, the Secretary of the Navy was directed to appoint a competent board of officers and engineers to " examine, and report to Congress, at its next session the relative properties and advantages of a dry dock, and of the different kinds of floating docks, with or without a basin and railways." A board of officers and engineers, consisting of Commodore Kearney and Capt. Wyman, of the navy, and Capt. A. Talcott, and W. P. S. Sanger, civil engineers, were ordered to perform this duty, and to examine the harbors of Pensacola, and of Portsmouth, N. H., for the purposes mentioned in the said section. Uncontrollable circumstances have delayed the board in the performance of their duties. But they have made considerable progress, and their report may be expected at as early a day as will be consistent with the" thorough examination necessary to correct conclusions.
In discharge of the duty devolved on me by the section first above recited, I repaired to New York and examined the site at Brooklyn, and the plans of docks submitted for my inspection.
--519--
One of these was Gilbert's balance dock, and the other the sectional dock of Messrs. Moody & Dakin. Both are floating docks. Messrs. Moody & Dakin have patented a plan of basin and railway, as an appendage to receive the vessel which has been elevated by their dock. I am not aware that this last improvement had been put into actual operation, otherwise than by a model. In view of the terms employed, and of the duties imposed, by the two sections above referred to, I construed the law to require the establishment of a dry dock at Brooklyn. With our own experience of the admirable adaptation of such structures to the purposes of the navy, confirmed by the practice of the principal maritime powers of Europe, I felt it to be clearly my duty to proceed with the stone dry dock, already commenced, on a plan similar to those which had proved so successful at Norfolk and Boston. Of the relative properties and advantages of floating docks, with or without basin and railways, and of the stone dry dock, for the purposes of the navy, I do not deem it proper to express an opinion, as the aid in forming a correct conclusion, to be expected from the board charged with that inquiry by the direction of Congress, was not at my command.
The work on the stone dry dock is progressing in a satisfactory manner, under the direction of William Gibbs McNeill, esq., as engineer of the dock.
The estimates from the Bureau of Yards and Docks also provide for improvements at the several naval hospitals. These improvements are believed to be important for the protection of the public property, and to insure the safe and judicious treatment of the sick. The navy hospital fund is not sufficient to bear so heavy an outlay at once, and it is respectfully submitted for the consideration of Congress, whether an appropriation shall be made for these objects, in aid of the fund.
I would also respectfully state that there are now confined in the several naval hospitals twelve insane persons belonging to the naval service.
These noble edifices, which have been constructed for the accommodation and comfort of the sick and disabled, have no suitable apartments for the treatment of the insane. Those suffering under this deplorable malady cannot receive that judicious treatment which has, in modern times, so frequently led to a recovery of reason; and the raving of the maniac often prove highly injurious to the sick inmates of the hospital. I therefore suggest that, if it shall be the pleasure of Congress to provide an asylum for the insane of the District of Columbia, provision may be made for the insane of the navy and army in the same establishment.
I invite attention to a report from the Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography on the subject of the delays and difficulties encountered in procuring, under contract, as required by existing laws, ordnance and gunpowder. The operation of the proviso to the act of the 3d March, 1843, which requires that all supplies for the navy, when time will permit, shall be procured by contract with the lowest bidder after advertisement, has not promoted the public interest, nor secured to the public, in all cases, the advantage of a full and fair competition. To the head of the department, and the officers making purchases, it is a great safeguard against reproaches or imputations of improper preferences. But experience has demonstrated that the public interest is not promoted in procuring many of the most important and necessary supplies for the navy in this mode. Some of these are ordnance, gunpowder, and medicines. The law gives no dis-
--520--
cretion, but the lowest bidder is to have the contract, whatever may be his means, his experience, or skill. If he declines, (which he may do without penalty,) it is to be offered to the next; and so on, until, not unfrequently, injurious delays occur, and well-founded complaints are made, that, by combination among bidders, the prices paid are higher than the articles would have cost in open market.
I deem it to be my duty to ask that the provisions of this law, applying only to this department, may be revised and modified.
The building for a depot of charts is completed, and a substantial wall constructed around the square. The grading has been partially made and to complete it, and to construct a house for the superintendent, an estimate is submitted, and an appropriation recommended. The instruments purchased have been received and placed in the depot. They are well selected, and may be advantageously employed in the necessary observations with a view to calculate nautical almanacs. For these we are now indebted to foreign nations. This work may be done by our own naval officers, without injury to the service, and at a very small expense. It is confidently believed that, in the process of time, a most perfect set of charts may be supplied from the depot to the navy and to the commercial marine, entirely to be relied on for accuracy, at the mere cost of publication.
The operation of the system of supplying the navy with clothing, established by the act of 26th August, 1842, has been highly satisfactory. An appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars is required to meet existing and future liabilities which will call for payment before the returns from the pay of the men will enable the department to continue the supplies. It is believed that, after this appropriation, the addition, of 10 per cent, on the prime cost will cover all losses, and the receipts meet the disbursements, while the system possesses the great merit of furnishing to the seamen the best clothes at moderate prices.
The navy hospital fund on the 1st day of November, 1844, consisted of $230,434 14. The number of aged and disabled seamen who have sought a home at the asylum near Philadelphia has so increased, that it was found necessary to their comfort to provide for withdrawing the governor and surgeon from the rooms occupied by them in the building. Two houses, according to the original plan, have been erected, and are nearly completed, to be occupied by these officers. A small slip of ground adjoining the site of the asylum has been purchased at a reasonable price. These are believed to be very important additions to the establishment
If it shall be the pleasure of Congress to authorize the investment of the fund in securities of the United States, it would add considerably to its income. The money is now unproductive in the treasury, and I earnestly recommend that authority be given to make the investment.
The condition of the navy pension fund, and the claims on it, are stated in the report of the Commissioner of Pensions, herewith transmitted.
Great anxiety is felt by many of the surgeons and assistant surgeons, and of the pursers in the navy, to have allowed them an assimilated rank; the corresponding officers in the army enjoy it, without detriment to the service. I respectfully recommend the subject to consideration.
Pursuant to the act of the 17th of June last, the naval storekeepers at Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong, Mahon, the Cape de Verdes, and the Sand-
--521--
wich islands, were discontinued; and, with as little delay as practicable, Officers of the navy were ordered to perform those duties. As these officers were required to give bond before they entered on the execution of their orders, some delay occurred in making the selection. The compensation allowed to each is $1,500 per annum, and to each is allowed a clerk at $600 per annum.
The experimental examinations of coals, of iron, and of copper, in which Professor Walter R. Johnson was engaged, and on which he reported at the last session of Congress, have been suspended, the appropriations being exhausted. If it shall be the pleasure of Congress to have them continued, an appropriation will be necessary.
In pursuance of the directions of the act of June 17th, orders were given for the discharge of all persons in the navy appointed as masters' mates, to do duty as midshipmen, since 4th day of August, 1842, and who were not at the time of their appointment seamen of the first class. These orders have been executed as to all persons thus situated who were in the United States, or who have returned from foreign stations.
The third section of the act repealed so much of previous acts of Congress as provided that officers temporarily performing the duties belonging to those of a higher grade should receive the compensation of such higher grade while actually so employed.
1 respectfully suggest that the operation of this repealing act on those officers who are thus employed on foreign stations will probably involve them in very serious embarrassments. Uninformed of its passage, they will regulate their expenditures by the rate of compensation which they supposed that the law accords to them, and in some of the squadrons may not be advised of their mistake until they have received the higher pay, and expended it to so large an amount as to leave them without any income from their pay for a long time. It is not desirable that the officers should be indebted to the government; and to many, the regular receipt of their pay is necessary to their support.
I would respectfully suggest that the operation of the law, as to them, should be postponed until information of its passage shall be received on board the vessel to which the officer so situated may be attached; and I would recommend that it should not embrace the case of passed midshipmen performing the duty of master. The expenses necessarily incurred by this class of officers in the performance of these duties, are beyond the pay of their own grade.
Their services as master are highly advantageous, and, with the present limited number of warranted masters, many of whom are unable to go to sea, from age or infirmity, indispensable.
The report of the commandant of the marine corps, on the necessity of an increase of the numbers in that branch of the service, is respectfully recommended to consideration.
I respectfully repeat the recommendation of the last annual report, that an additional number of permanent clerks be allowed to this department and the several bureaus. The force now allowed by law, except for a limited time, and for temporary purposes, is not sufficient to perform the duties which the present arrangement of the business in the department requires. The appropriation now made for temporary purposes, and the two clerks allowed for the current year, with an addition of two or three
--522--
bookkeepers in the bureaus, would procure a sufficient number of permanent clerks.
The division of the duties of this department, made by the act of reorganization of 31st August, 1842, has produced much system and order in the operations, and promises to be yet more beneficial in its results, under regulations suggested by experience. The duties of the chiefs of the bureaus are very laborious; and advantage would result from a division of the duties of the Bureau of Construction, Equipment, and Repair, and the establishment of another bureau.
The estimates from the several bureaus, and from the commandant of the marine corps, of the sums which will be required for the proposed service of the ensuing year, are transmitted with this report.
Respectfully submitted:
J. Y. MASON.

These two items make up more than one half the estimate for the improvement and repairs of all the navy-yards.
The item for clothing of the navy can scarcely be regarded as an appropriation, but rather as a loan; as it will ultimately be returned to the appropriation for "pay of the navy."
Last year the estimate for "contingent enumerated," was $500,000, and the appropriation only, $400,000; and a deficiency is apprehended before the end of the current fiscal year. The sum of $600,000 has therefore been estimated for the ensuing year, as the lowest which will suffice for the demands of the service under that head. For explanations respecting the other items, reference is respectfully made to the reports in detail from the several bureaus.

REPORT FROM THE BUREAU OF YARDS AND DOCKS.
Bureau of Yards and Docks,
November 19, 1844.
Sir:
I have the honor to hand for your information, as directed by your letter of the 29th of October last, estimates for the improvement of the several navy-yards; for the repairs of all objects contained in them, on which they may be requisite; for the support of the civil and naval portions of the establishments of the same; and for the improvement and repairs of the hospitals and magazines. They are also accompanied by the estimates for the ordinary of the yards, the receiving vessels, and the recruiting stations.
The amount called for on the present occasion is $2,154,383 16, being $898,108 61 more than was called for in the last year. The reason of this increase will be apparent, when we consider the continuation of the dock at New York upon the original plan, the result of experience and economy; the large improvements contemplated at Pensacola, and the commencement of a new yard on the Mississippi river, from which much advantage is expected to be derived; and the various additions to the older yards, required by increased demands for accommodation, and the increasing wants of the navy afloat.
To place the subject before you in a perspicuous manner, it will be proper to state somewhat in detail what has been done at each of the yards, and what it is proposed to provide for in the ensuing year.
In the first place, at the Portsmouth navy-yard the sum of $32,783 16 has been expended on various objects since 1st October, 1843, up to the same period of the present year, including the erection of quay-walls in. the front of the yard; the removal of materials, for building a permanent wharf in the place of one which was found to have given way by reason of the inequality of the bottom on which the superstructure was laid; for graduating the yard, and filling it in; and for repairs of the various edifices. The sum of $44,220 60 was asked for the present year, and for the succeeding year it is proposed to ask for the sum of $66,395 92; a large portion of which may be usefully employed in the prosecution of a plan by which, when finished, it will become of much greater utility than it is at present. With this sum, if appropriated, a number of conveniences essential to the despatch and economy of work, the increase of working room, the erection of a permanent water-front, with additional wharves, and a residence far the officer second in command, may be made. In order to bring the surface of the yard to a proper level, it will be found necessary to cut down so near the house occupied by that officer, as to render it difficult of access, as well as unstable. It is, at best, but an indifferent one, being of wood, and very old. It will also be found proper to remove a portion of a timber-shed, and re-erect it in a more convenient place. By this work there will be much room gained, and much labor saved, as it would require a strong force to haul timber and other heavy articles to the height on which the shed now stands.
At Boston the sum of $40,143 70 has been expended within the year ending the 1st of October last. The, objects accomplished by this have been—a wall on the northwest side of the yard, one on the east of the mast-house, a house for machinery and smithery, a wall on the west side of ship-house G, (a wharf which was very much needed for the accommo-
--534--
dation of vessels equipping and in ordinary,) and a number of requisite conveniences, and for the repairs of various buildings. There will be required, to carry on the improvements according to the plan, and to correspond with the importance of the establishment, a sum of $133,819 24. With this, it is in contemplation to build one wing of the house No. 15, for the storage of provisions and various other articles, for which there is not now sufficient accommodation; also, a cordage store, and a loft for fitting rigging; a wharf on piles at the angle No. 59; to complete the wharf between H and I; to build one in addition, and to fill up a portion of the yard—the last of which will add much to its convenience. It is also desirable to have a permanent coal-house for the reception of the coal to be kept on hand for the use of steamers afloat; stables for the better preservation of the teams and their food; and a fund for repairs, which annual decay makes necessary. It seems to be desirable that the above-named improvements should be carried on with as much celerity as a due regard to economy and the proper seasons will warrant; as at the yards in which there are docks, much more work will be expected to be done, and consequently there will Be a much greater accumulation of materials and demand for their preservation.
The yard at New York comes next in order, and in importance also; as, with the advantage which will accrue to it from the erection of a permanent dock of stone, that establishment, which has heretofore been of inferior consequence on that account, will be put on a par, in a great measure, in point of advantage and accommodation, with those at Boston and Norfolk. For this the sum of $81,118 was required last year; and of. the sum granted, $13,883 52 have been usefully and advantageously expended in the repairs of buildings and a ship-house; in dredging out the channel; in a wall for the security of the yard on the west side; in procuring materials for a wharf on the bank off the navy-yard; in a guard-house, and on various other and smaller objects. It is intended to call for a sum, in addition to the balance on hand, of $146,500 for its further and more rapid improvement, exclusive of a sum which will hereafter be asked for, for the continuation of the dock. With this it is contemplated to erect a large smithery, sufficient for the exigencies of the yard generally; a new storehouse, much wanted; to continue the wharf on the bank opposite the yard, (called, for the sake of distinction, a cob-wharf;) to build a permanent coal-house for the fuel of steamers, as at Boston; to furnish a sum adequate to the contingency of repairs, and for one or two small objects which are also much wanted, as stables, a water-tank, &c., &c. It may be proper to say something in explanation of the use and propriety of the cob-wharf; and a few words will, it is believed, be sufficient to produce conviction on those points. By its erection, the channel on which we are annually dredging, to preserve a proper depth of water, will be rendered so free from the deposite of mud and silt, that the above-mentioned tedious and somewhat expensive operation may be dispensed with. We shall also obtain a large waterfront, more than double that of the yard, for the accommodation of vessels; and, in addition to this advantage, there will be secure places for the laying up in ordinary of three ships of the line, or a larger number of a smaller class, free from the risk of fire, and safe from the danger of ice. Within it also will be received all the mud as it is taken from the channel; and in a short time a large space (upwards of 23 acres) for buildings, the stowage of guns, shot, and anchors,
--535--
with their skids, and other appropriate fixtures, will be thus gained, without the expense of an additional purchase.
At Philadelphia, the sum of $34,615 16 was asked for in the last year; and of the sum allowed, $7,738 84 have been expended in the prosecution of the works begun in previous years, which consist of the extension of three wharves, rendered necessary by the shallowness of the water front, from the accumulation of the muddy collections by the downward current of the Delaware; of the erection, in part, of a quay-wall for the convenience of landing and embarking stores, as well as for the security and accommodation of the vessels resorting to it; and for the repairs of the various edifices. The sum of $48,394 will be required for the ensuing year, to be disposed of as follows: for the outer piers of the wharves Nos. 2 and 3; for the wharf No. 4; for the outer pier of the wharf of the same number; for filling in, bridging, and for the repairs of the various buildings. The extension of the wharves, rendered necessary by the already assigned cause, must be followed, in order to be efficient, by an outer pier or wharf head to each, to prevent further accumulations of mud. When these are completed, which it is believed will be effected by the sums now asked for, a confident hope is entertained that they will remain without further expense for a long time. No estimate has been made for officers' houses, because it is believed that the improvements proposed in the foregoing statement will absorb all that will be appropriated, and they are at this time considered of paramount importance. They have, it is believed, been twice or thrice estimated for, and as often stricken out. When we shall have to make estimates for the next year, it would be proper to include a portion of them, at least.
At Washington, $46,230 were called for in the last year; and of the sum granted, $5,604 96 only have been as yet expended; but the residue will scarcely suffice to answer all the demands to be made on it previous to the close of the year—and that, too, with the exercise of great care and economy. The objects to which this has been applied are—the filling in and repairs of wharves; the increase of conveniences and appliances of machinery to the hydraulic proving machine shop, and the anchor smithery and forges; with the requisite repairs, which are annually required in a greater or less degree. It is proposed to call for an amount of $55,094 for further improvements in this yard, by which its ability to provide all articles of iron and metal, particularly chain cables, anchors, water tanks, galleys, and castings, will be much increased. As such work has been, for a long time carried on and well executed here, it is desirable that there should be means provided for its extension, and on a much larger scale than hitherto, and that the improvements should be mainly directed to that object. Its situation at the head of tide-water, and its contiguity to the coal and iron districts, seem to point it out as peculiarly applicable to all the purposes of manufacturing for the use of the navy exclusively. With these remarks, I shall finish this brief statement by recapitulating the items to which the appropriation is to be applied. They are as follows: for filling up a portion of the timber dock, (gaining thereby room and health;) completing the laboratory buildings, for which a very small sum only was last year provided; for further improvements in the machine, camboose, and chain-cable shops, in the anchor forges, tilt-hammers and proving-machine, shops, and for the repairs of buildings.
--536--
At Norfolk, the sum of $124,680 was called for by the estimates of the last year. Of what was granted, and balances of appropriation for previous years, a sum of $20,437 40 only has been expended, in consequence of the small aggregate amount of those two funds. If the means had been at hand, much more might have judiciously and usefully been expended in that large establishment, capable of being made to afford such facilities, and in a climate where work is rarely suspended by the severity of cold. It is proposed to ask for this year the sum of $116,981 78, to be applied to the following objects: for the completion of a building and launching: slip, which was made to answer temporarily for the Jamestown sloop Of war; for the extension of the quay-walls in front, to the north side of the timber dock; for the completion of the timber dock; for finishing store-house No. 16; for the erection of another and a timber-shed jointly; for the completion of the bridge across the timber dock; for a permanent coal-house, as at Boston and New York; and for repairs generally. The first item it is very desirable to complete, as such an improvement is much wanted, and its permanent erection, whilst it insures security to the vessel which may occupy it, will be strictly consonant with sound economy ; for each building is designed, as it should be in each yard, to be of the most durable construction. The second item is also of great consequence, as it is the continuation of a work long since begun, and on which much progress has been made, but which has been retarded for the want of means. To carry it out to the timber dock will afford increased accommodation, and add greatly to the convenience of the yard, by insuring a quick removal of the deposite brought down by the ebb tide. The third is an item of similar import, as it is to form a part of the walls by its connexion with it. if this could be effected, we should have a vast basin for the immersion of timber, wherein it might be seasoned, and at the same time stowed away; thus producing two good results—the preparation of timber for construction, and a saving in timber sheds. Many more of these must be provided than were originally contemplated, if this work is not finished. The fourth item, No. 16, was begun two years ago, but has not been finished, as we have not had funds sufficient for the purpose. It is very desirable to have this building completed, and also to have No. 13, of a similar character, built; as, for the want of them, a very large quantity of that valuable timber, live oak, is now under temporary coverings but little better than sheds, exposed to fire and to storms, and yet these are the best that can now be afforded. The bridge (sixth item) across The timber dock is now in progress, and a small additional sum will enable us to complete that by the middle of the ensuing spring. The connexion between the two portions of the yard, now interrupted by water, will be then re-established, and additional security against fire be thus afforded to all sections, whilst the facility of communication will be the means of economy and despatch. The seventh item, a coal-house, is also requisite for the stowage of coal for navy steamers; for at this yard, as well as at Boston, New York, and' Pensacola, large deposites of that article are contemplated as a measure of prudence and expediency; The last item: is of import similar to that which is last enumerated at the other yards—viz: repairs; and of an importance proportionate to the number of objects by which it may be shared.
At Pensacola, the sum of $166,708 was granted at the last session of Congress for the commencement of works of importance, and for the pur-
--537--
pose of gradually enabling that establishment to afford repairs and supplies to the vessels standing in need of them, and to place it, as rapidly as circumstances will permit, in a situation to become the secure resource of the navy, in that quarter. Contracts have been entered into for the supply of materials of all the qualities necessary to prosecute the intended objects. A plan of the yard has been prepared and approved; and, as soon as materials can be procured in a sufficient quantity, the works will be commenced, and the yard have an organization corresponding with that of the others, by the employment of additional master mechanics, with the necessary workmen and laborers. The commission appointed by you will, in a short time, it is expected, be able to report Upon the best plan of a dock for that place; and the civil engineer of the navy will be at hand to lay down the works conformably to their plans, and to direct the mode of procedure under them. It has been deemed proper to propose for a sum sufficient to-complete the permanent wharf, the ship-house and slip, the store-house and the timber-shed, for which appropriations were made, in part, in June last; and to ask for a further sum for the erection of four houses, which are almost indispensable for the officers; as that yard, at a distance from town and city, affords none of those conveniences to be found in the vicinity of those to the north. A permanent coal-house for the sea-steamers' coal, and a provision for the necessary repairs, complete the estimates for this yard. The whole sum is $1,71,438 45.
For the navy-yard at Memphis, the sum of $487,090 is estimated as a commencement of improvements, to be expended in the embankments, graduation, excavation, and walling, to secure the river fronts, (of which there are several, the Wolf river running through the site, and rendering much of that kind of work expedient,) for six dwelling-houses, and for the foundation of a rope-walk. A plan of this yard has been made with great care, and accompanies this report. On it the boundaries are clearly laid down, and its face and general character shown; and an examination, even cursorily, will show that great labor, involving considerable expense, must be incurred to render it advantageous. Its natural situation, with the resources at hand, by means of its extensive intercourse with nearly all the producing States, will then enable it speedily to attain a degree of usefulness commensurate with the outlay, and gratifying to its projectors. In a short time it will be necessary to give an organization to this yard, by the appointment of officers, both naval and civil, and the preparation for the employment of mechanics, laborers, &c., &c. At Sackett's Harbor, in the State of New York, a very small appropriation will be required for the preservation of the embankment of a portion of Navy point, on which are stowed a number of guns and shot, and for leaking covers or sheds for their protection from the weather. For this, the sum of $600 will be ample. The ground, of which this point forms a part, has been rented by the department for many years; and on it are a ship-of-the-line in frame, and a ship-house to protect her. The first was commenced previous to the treaty of peace of 1814, when it was supposed we should have a further contest for the mastery of lake Ontario; and the latter was built after the peace, to preserve her. Another ship-of-the-line was also under construction at the same time; but, being left without a cover, soon began to rot, and was disposed of. The ship-house stands in need of some repairs; and it may become a question of
--538--
some consequence to determine if it be necessary to go to the expense of its repair; also to continue to rent the premises, to purchase them, or to relinquish them altogether. The introduction of steamers into active warfare, the celerity of their movements, and the preference awarded to them for their various advantages on the lakes, would seem to preclude the idea of having another fleet of sailing vessels, if ever an occasion for its use should occur.
Having laid before you a detail of the various wants of the several yards, 1 conclude by offering, as stated in the first part of this report, an item of $150,000 for the permanent stone dock at New York, which, with the balance of the appropriation of the last year, of $119,100, will be sufficient to meet the demands. It has been commenced under the direction of W. G. McNeill, esq.; and there are now a considerable number of persons employed on it. So rapid a progress as is desirable cannot, at this season of the year, be made; but, on the return of mild weather and longer days, it will be advanced with all the celerity which a proper regard for durability will insure.
Accompanying the estimates from this bureau, are submitted those for the several hospitals and the asylum, (marked Y. & D. No. 6,) which have been carefully examined by the Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, and have been deemed very important by him.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
L. WARRINGTON,
Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks.

REPORT FROM THE BUREAU OF CONSTRUCTION, &c.
Bureau of Construction, Equipment, and Repair,
November 11, 1844.
Sir:
I have the honor to transmit, herewith, estimates for the amounts which will probably be required for objects under the direction of this bureau for the fiscal year ending 30th June, 1846; and reports of the vessels which were in commission, upon the stocks or building, or in ordinary., on the 1st instant.
Since the last annual report from this bureau, the sloops-of-war Jamestown and St. Mary's, and the new steamer Michigan, have been launched. The Michigan has been fully completed, and has made an experimental trip. The sloops of war are being equipped, and will probably be ready for sea before the close of the present year.
The iron steamer at Pittsburg, and the small iron steamer at Washington, which are being built after plans, and under the immediate direction and superintendence of Lieutenant Wm. W. Hunter, are in progress.
The vessel commenced for a medium steamer at Norfolk is in course of completion as a sailing store-ship.
The necessary repairs, equipment, or refitting, have been given to the frigates Cumberland, Raritan, Potomac, and Constitution; the sloops-of-war Plymouth, Portsmouth, Marion, Yorktown, and Ontario; the brigs Perry, Somers, Truxtun, Bainbridge, Lawrence, and Oregon; the schooners Flirt, Wave, Phoenix, and On-ka-hy-e; and to the steamers Union and Colonel Harney.
The sudden but necessary suspension of labor upon the frigate St. Lawrence, and sloops-of-war Albany and Germantown, in the autumn of 1843, left the two former exposed to premature decay, and the latter to injury from other causes. The general estimate includes the amount supposed to be necessary to complete these vessels. The bureau has no official information of the progress made in the construction of the iron steamer by Mr. Robert L. Stevens, under his contract with the Secretary of the Navy, authorized by the act of Congress of 31st August, 1842. The additional amount which will probably be required under that contract, when it shall be completed, is embraced in the special estimate submitted for consideration.
The frigate Hudson, the store brig Consort, and the schooner Enterprise, after being regularly and carefully surveyed, have been sold at pubic auction.
Many outstanding uncompleted contracts have been closed and finally settled by your decisions, under the authority of the act of Congress of 17th June, 1844.
The existing liabilities under specific contracts for materials to be delivered hereafter, were about $235,000 on the 1st instant.
About $50,000 will be required, in addition to the sum appropriated, for the iron steamer at Pittsburg, which has been included in the general estimate.
The general estimate, under the head of "increase, repair, armament, and equipment of the navy," also includes the amount necessary for the purchase of hemp, and for fuel for steam-vessels, during the fiscal year.
As there are now four covered building slips unoccupied, the expediency of commencing a frigate to be called the Guerriere, and of building
--563--
and equipping a brig to replace the Enterprise, is respectfully submitted for consideration. The amounts necessary for these purposes are submitted in the special estimate, marked E.
Experience has demonstrated the inability of the clerks allowed by law to this bureau to properly perform the duties which have been assigned to it. To provide in some degree for this deficiency, a proposition is submitted in connexion with the estimate for the expenses of the bureau. An increase is proposed in the compensation for two clerks who are charged with the preparation of contracts, and with the examination of the storekeepers' returns; duties which are evidently more important than those of recording or copying clerks, but which at present receive no greater compensation.
With much respect, I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
C. MORRIS,
Chief of Bureau.

Secretary of the Navy.

Note.—The chief clerk is fully occupied by the correspondence and attention to the money requisitions, and the returns from navy agents of their receipts and expenditures. One clerk has to attend to drawing and
--565--
recording contracts, and to prepare copies or extracts for the several commandants of yards and navy agents, at the places of delivery of articles,, and to note the correspondence in relation to them. An additional clerk is necessary for these duties. One clerk only can be allotted at present to the examination of all the storekeepers' accounts of receipts and expenditures from the several navy-yards and foreign stations, and to keep accounts of all shipments of stores between the navy yards and foreign stations.
Proper attention to these returns requires another clerk. The only remaining clerk now allowed by law, is fully employed in recording the letters written from this bureau. There is no clerk allowed by law who can be assigned to receive the accounts, and to record the cost of building, repairing, or equipping vessels, or to take charge of reports of surveys, of statements of the nature and extent of repairs given to vessels, or of other information, which ought to be always so arranged as to be immediately available for the use of the department whenever it is wanted. One clerk for these duties is indispensable, and two could be employed advantageously.
The three additional clerks, for which the estimate is submitted, is the. smallest number with which the duties of the bureau can be properly performed.

Estimate for clothing for the navy during the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1845, and ending June 30, 1846.
For clothing for the navy . . . $100,000 00
At the establishment of this bureau, it was estimated that the sum of $570,000, at least, would be required to commence and get into operation the system for clothing the seamen of the navy, made necessary by the act of Congress of August 26, 1842.
At the 3d session of the 27th Congress an appropriation for. this purpose, of $380,000, was made; and at the 1st session of the 28th Congress a further appropriation of $130,000 was made; making, in the aggregate, the sum of $510,000, or $60,000 less than the first estimate.
When the last appropriation was made, it was hoped that the returns for clothing taken in ships going to distant stations, and that sent to distant depots for their use, would be received in such time, and to such amount, as to make application for a further appropriation under this head unnecessary. This, however, has not been the case; and the liabilities of the bureau at this time so much exceed the sum on hand, that it will require at least the $60,000 (still wanting to make the appropriation for clothing equal to the original estimate) to free its operations from embarrassment.
It is to be observed, in connexion with this subject, that at the lime of the change in the manner of furnishing the navy with clothing, there was on hand a large quantity of that article purchased under the appropriations for "pay, &c.," the returns for which accrue, as they come in, to the treasury. This is one cause of embarrassment to the bureau, making the returns for clothing purchased under the two appropriations above named so slow and so uncertain, that the question (one of great doubt at first) whether the original estimate of $570,000 will be sufficient for the full and efficient operation of the system, must continue doubtful lor some time yet; and when it is considered that this appropriation does not involve an expenditure of money, but is a loan in the shape of an advance to the seaman, to be returned with an addition of 10 per cent., it is believed that there can be no objection, and it would greatly facilitate the operations of the bureau to make the appropriation now asked for.

REPORT FROM THE BUREAU OF MEDICINE AND SURGERY.
Bureau of Medicine and Surgery,
November 13, 1844.
Sir: In obedience to your instructions of the 29th of October, I have the honor to submit the following statement of the fiscal condition of the surgical department of the navy.
The amount of the appropriation for surgeons'
necessaries |
$30,591 49 |
Amount appropriated by the act of Congress of June 17, 1844 |
12,250 00 |
Aggregate |
42,841 49 |
Of this sum, there has been expended for surgeons'
necessaries and appliances, including what remains in the hands |
11,845 25 |
Balance on hand |
$30,996 24 |
With economy, it is believed that the balance on hand will be found sufficient to meet whatever demands may be made on it during the present fiscal year.
The estimated expenses for the support of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery for the year commencing July 1st, 1845, are $7,470., (See table A.)
The estimated expenses for surgeons' necessaries and appliances for the naval service, including the marine corps, for the fiscal year commencing as above, $37,300. (See table B.)
The appropriation thus required is to defray the expense of the surgical department of vessels afloat, of navy yards, and marine corps. The naval asylum, and the several hospitals, derive theft support entirely from the hospital fund.
This fund, on the 1st of November, 1844, amounted to two hundred and thirty thousand five hundred and thirty-four dollars and fourteen cents. ($230,534 14.)
If the hospital fund is properly managed, and the sum already accumulated placed at interest, it will prove to be sufficient, when added to the yearly income, to support not only the pensioners at the naval asylum, but all the great hospitals at the several important naval stations. The hospital establishments, however, are still incomplete. For the protection of the hospital grounds, and the security of the inmates, substantial wails should be erected, and such other improvements made as we essential to the comforts and efficiency of these institutions.
To defray the expenses of such improvements out of the hospital fund, would entirely exhaust it, and thus cripple its resources. I would, therefore, respectfully submit to your consideration the propriety of asking from Congress an appropriation for these objects.
I beg leave to respectfully state that the present force of assistant surgeons, which has been limited in number by Congress, is entirely inadequate to supply the wants of the service. The number of assistant sur-
--576--
geons required to properly officer the force now recommended will be ninety-two. The number of passed assistant and assistant surgeons in the naval service is sixty-seven. The number necessary to fill vacancies, and. to complete the organization according to the estimates, is twenty-five. (See table C.)
In consequence of the limited number of assistant surgeons in the service, many of our vessels afloat are, from necessity, deprived of their usual complement of this class of officers. These deprivations are particularly and justly complained of by commanders cruising in sickly climates. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
THO. HARRIS.

Secretary of the Navy.

Letter from the Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography, on the mode of procuring cannon and powder for the navy.
Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography,
November 21, 1844.
Sir:
I have the honor to inform you that the proviso in the act making appropriations for the naval service for the year ending 30th June, 1844, which requires that all materials for the navy be furnished by contract, operates greatly to the prejudice of this bureau, and to the public interest; and does not sufficiently guard the interests of the United States, or provide for the security of our ships and seamen.
Efforts to procure good cannon and powder under this proviso, which forces the acceptance of the lowest bidder, be he a jobber in contracts or a bona fide manufacturer of the article bid for, have resulted in frequent and inconvenient disappointments.
The contract for cannon dated December, 1842, failed on the part of the contractor, by the bursting and rejection of the guns delivered for proof: another contract, for the same guns, dated 13th August, 1843, failed in consequence of the inability of the contractor to comply with his engagements.
On the 20th August last, the same guns were awarded to the lowest bidder, who thereupon, refused to comply with his own bid; and, after a delay of nearly two years, have been let now (for the fourth time) to a responsible person, who, it is believed, will complete a delivery of the guns in June, 1845, which were to have been delivered by the 1st of December, 1843.
The lowest bidder for the supply of powder did not appear when the contract was declared, (12th November, 1843;) nor the next; and again the third; and, when let to the fourth, (who was the first responsible contractor who came forward,) nearly the whole contract failed from the bad quality of the powder delivered; and at a late period, under absolute necessity, the bureau had to go into the market and procure the supply.
It is my conviction that so important a matter as the supply of cannon and powder for the naval service should not be suffered to depend so much upon the ability of a contractor to meet the forfeit of non-compliance, as upon the known ability of the bidder to furnish a good article; to secure which advantage to the country, I would respectfully recommend, with great earnestness, that, so far as ordnance and ammunition for the navy are affected by the proviso above referred to, it be so modified as to exempt them from its action.
I have the honor to be, with great respect, your obedient servant,
W. M. CRANE.
Hon. J. Y. Mason, Secretary of the Navy.

Letter from the Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, on the number of maniacs confined in the several naval hospitals.
Navy Department,
Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, November 19, 1844.
Sir:
I herewith report to you the number of maniacs now confined in the several United States naval hospitals: the total number is 12.
The treatment of the insane in these establishments has not been successful. This arises from the want of suitable accommodations, and proper arrangements to classify and control them.
It is found, besides, that the noise and disturbance which lunatics frequently make, exercise an unfriendly influence on the minds and diseases of other patients. For this reason alone, it would be an act of humanity to make some other provision for their accommodation and treatments.
I would therefore respectfully recommend that these unfortunate patients should be removed from the naval hospitals, and provided for in establishments where they can be rendered more comfortable, and their disease be more successfully managed, at but a very slightly increased expense to the government.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
THOMAS HARRIS.

Secretary of the Navy:

Letter from naval surgeons on the subject of rank to the medical officers of the navy.
Naval Medical Board,
Philadelphia.
Sir:
In compliance with your request, we have taken into consideration the subject of a relative rank for the. medical corps of the navy. "In venturing upon this task, we are not insensible to the difficulties which surround it, nor regardless of the responsibility assumed in its performance. A distrust in our own ability to effect any result which shall be acceptable to all, may well be felt, when the discrepancies of the best opinions on the subject are known to exist. With a proper zeal, and, we hope, a just view of the case, it is believed that an approach to what is right may be found in the manuscript that accompanies this communication. It is thought unnecessary to repeat here the clear, and, it seems to us, unanswerable reasons, so often presented to the department for the adoption of some rule by which the dignity and respectability of our corps may be defined and sustained by investing it with rank ; its standing and consequence, in a measure, depend upon it; while, at the same time, it would only confer a share of that high privilege it is the pride of oar profession to possess in its; civil relations. A military body, without a distinct and clearly marked rank amongst all its constituents, is an anomaly in terms ; yet such has been, and is, precisely the position the medical men of the navy now occupy, in total disregard, as it were, of the wholesome lessons, drawn from our land service, in which the medical officer is placed on his proper platform.
It will be observed that, in designating rank, we have also assigned to it its appropriate quarters. It was thought expedient to do so, because it has been found, by experience, that nothing is a greater source of collision and dissatisfaction than the uncertainty or arbitrary arrangement of accommodations on shipboard; by making such arrangements a fixed and settled point, all unpleasantness will be removed. It is not deemed necessary to offer any analysis of the suggestions in the document enclosed; they are to speak for themselves; they are simple and clear ;. and therefore, we. trust, need no argument to insure for them a favorable consideration. As it is well understood that the army medical code instituting rank and quarters was carried into effect and exists by executive authority alone, independent of legislation, it is merely suggested whether a direct appeal to the President, through the honorable Secretary of the Navy, would not obtain at once all we ask for at the hands of our commander-in-chief.
You will, remark, in the body of the enclosed paper, that no allusion to the establishment of rank for the "chief of the bureau" has been made? considering it, as we did, a matter involving some delicacy, and, therefore, leaving it untouched. Very respectfully, we have the honor to be your obedient servants,

This regulation shall not be understood in any case as giving to the junior in commission superiority of rank or command over his senior.
The above-named officers shall take precedence and command in their respective grades, according to date or number of commission; but precedence among passed assistant surgeons will be decided by date and relative number of passing their examination.

Commanding officers, of whatever grade, shall always take precedence of all medical officers under their command; but, among all other officers, precedence shall be decided by date of commission, warrantor appointment.
The rank of medical officers shall not entitle them to command or control any commission or warrant officer, other than medical officers except in hospitals, or when on a sick report.

Fleet surgeons shall rank with any medical directors.
Surgeons of the navy shall rank with surgeons of the army, according to date of commission.
Passed and other assistant surgeons of the navy shall rank with assistant surgeons of the army, according to date of commission.
The medical officers of the one service shall exercise no control or command over the medical officers of the other service, in consequence of assimilation of rank.
Art. 5. Whenever it may be necessary to try any medical officer of the navy, on any lawfully-preferred charges, before a court-martial, one-third (or, if so many cannot be procured, at least one-fifth) of said court shall be composed of surgeons of the navy, if as many can be obtained by the authority convening the court; and, if otherwise; the deficiency in the number of surgeons shall be made up of medical officers of other grades.
OF MESSES AND APARTMENTS.
Art. 6. Fleet surgeons shall mess with commanders, and shall have their quarters in the cabin. Other medical officers shall mess, in the wardroom.

Report of the officers appointed to select a site for the navy-yard at Memphis, Tennessee.
Memphis, September 16,1844.
Sir:
We have the honor to report the progress made, in compliance with your instructions of the 23d July and the 7th of August last. The distinct points to which our attention was directed, will each be noticed in the order they appear in your letter of the 7th ultimo.
Unexpected difficulties have occurred in procuring a title. It has been necessary to compromise adverse interests, and reconcile conflicting claims. This has been accomplished by the mayor and aldermen, and their proceedings approved at a public meeting of the citizens.
A deed is transmitted herewith, such as will be executed to the government, if approved by the President, to the entire site selected for a navy-yard and depot. An abstract of title accompanies it, showing in what manner the rights to the different lots embraced in it have been, or are to be, obtained by the authorities of Memphis. A plan is also annexed, in which those lots to which the titles are not yet complete are marked by shading. Civic jurisdiction is ceded by the deed; State jurisdiction cannot be obtained before the meeting of the legislature in October, 1845. We addressed a better to the governor of the State on the subject, on the 30th ultimo; but no answer has been received, and we are informed he is too unwell at present to attend to business. Should he send his opinion, as asked, it will be transmitted to the Navy Department.
1. Title.—Copy of deed, and abstract of title, are forwarded herewith.
2. Right of way.—A right to the use of the public highways is secured by the deed.
With regard to the right of way for a canal from Wolf river, the city authorities would prefer cutting this canal for the benefit of the city, and supplying the navy-yard with the water-power it may require, according to their proposition made to the Navy Department November 9th, 1843. Should this proposition not be acceptable to the government, they are ready, to cede the right of way, and would be glad to make an arrangement by which the surplus water of the canal could be had for the use of the city, at a fair remuneration.
A recent examination shows that the fall of water by this canal was greatly overrated in the report of Colonel Morrison, transmitted to the department May 4th, 1843. The fall is now ascertained, by the same engineer, to be about 18 feet; and the cost of construction estimated at above $100,000.
3. Jurisdiction.—The city jurisdiction is ceded by the deed of conveyance. A cession of State jurisdiction cannot be had till the meeting of the State legislature in October, 1845.
4. Buildings.—The number and dimensions of the various buildings, with their respective situations, is exhibited on the plan of the yard which is presented herewith. We recommend that the foundation walls be of stone, based on platforms of timber, or piles, as the superintending architect may deem most advisable. The superstructures to be of brick, the roofs of slate or metal. The dwellings to be two stories high, with piazzas and kitchen attached, and a cellar under the main building. The outside of the houses to be plastered, or covered with cement; a cistern for rain-water to be placed in each yard.
--635--
5. Building slips with covers.—The number of building slips with covers marked on the plan is two, both on the south side of Wolf river.
6. Building slips without covers.—Four slips without covers are marked; on the north side of Wolf; but it will be seen, by the peculiar formation and slope of the river bank, that, in case of emergency, more than that number of vessels might be constructed at the same time ; the whole being an inclined plane, on which launching-ways may be laid, leaving only interval enough for working.
7. Wharves.—Permanent wharves, as usually constructed, would be unsuitable, and exceedingly difficult to build with security. We would recommend floating wharves of about 120 feet in length, and a proportionate width and depth, which could always be interposed between the slips and the slope of the levee.
8. Enclosure.—A brick wall with stone foundation, of the height and thickness of that which encloses the Pensacola yard, would be suitable for this.
9. Front or water-line.—The most permanent mode of constructing the front or water line will be the following : First, there should be a row of round piles driven along the line of low-water mark; these should be close together, and of a length sufficient to reach firm bottom; within this line another line of round piles, parallel to the first, 2 feet from centre to centre, in the row, and the centre of the row 2 feet from the centre of the outside piles ; a line of sheet-piling should then be driven I foot within the round piles, and extending around the water front; the piles are then to be cut off at the lowest stage of the river, and the space between them filled with strong concrete, carefully rammed. The surface of the earth is then to be graded from the sheet-piling back to the line of high water, making it 18 inches below the top of the sheet-piling, and falling back with the slope of the levee. This being done, a bed of concrete, 12 inches thick, is to be spread over the whole surface, and upon that is to be laid a course of stone flagging, from 6 to 8 inches thick.
The piles around the front will protect the bank from washing away, and the concrete will render the pavement firm and substantial, and prevent the earth from being washed away beneath it. This being a work of the very highest importance, on which the safety of the whole yard may at some day depend, we strongly recommend that the superintendence of it be intrusted to none but an engineer of known abilities and fidelity.
10. Classification of works.—First class works—securing the water-line of the yard on the south side of Wolf river; grading; securing the bluff by a parapet wall and glacis, and filling up the site; erecting buildings marked on the plan, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, I, K, L, M, N, O, P.
Second class.—Erecting wall and buildings marked R, T, W, X, Y, c, k, l, l, m, J, H, E.
Third class.—Buildings, S, U, U, V, Z, Z, a, b, e, e, e, d, f, g, h, i, j; securing the fronts; grading and filling up that part of the yard lying north of Wolf river; building bridge, and erecting buildings, n, o, p, q, r, r, s.
11. Graduation of the yard.—Sewers will be unnecessary, except under the privies, marked l, l. The yard to be graded, so that the surface drains will carry the water to the Wolf or Mississippi rivers.
12. Establishment of uniform height.—Three feet on the front line of the levee above the highest water known here, will be amply sufficient to
--636--
protect the yard from overflow. From this line it should rise to the rear sufficiently for th rain-water to run off. The number of stories for each building is marked on the plan.
We have the honor to be very respectfully, your obedient servants,
L. ROUSSEAU, Captain.
H. A. ADAMS, Commander.

Letter from Gen. Henderson, on the increase of the rank and file of the marine corps.
Headquarters of the Marine Corps,
Washington, November 20, 1844.
Sir:
The enclosed general return of the marine corps will show its strength and distribution on the 31st October last.
It exhibits that there were at that time, on board the various ships of war, 65 sergeants, 67 corporals, 22 drummers, 25 fifers, and 617 privates. Since then, guards have been ordered for three sloops of war-amounting to 6 sergeants, 6 corporals, 3 drummers, 3 fifers, and 60 privates. This will make the whole number now on sea duty, 71 sergeants, 73 corporals, 25 drummers, 28 fifers, and 677 privates.
To complete the guards on board the respective ships would require 120 additional privates, in accordance with the table recently adopted by the Navy Department.
This would put on sea duty 797 privates. An additional frigate and sloop-of-war, it is said, are to be fitted out and put in commission; and if so, will require to supply their guards considerably more than the whole effective men of the corps now in it.
This statement shows so plainly the necessity of an increase of the noncommissioned officers, music, and privates of the corps, that it would seem to be wholly unnecessary to use further argument on the subject.
It is of great importance to send well-drilled soldiers on board the ships of war. The above statement will convince you that this cannot be the case, as it is necessary to detach them from the shore stations before they can be half drilled.
I have heretofore, with all the arguments I could use, endeavored to show the propriety and utility of this increase; and I now again respectfully call the serious attention of the department to the subject; and I would earnestly recommend that the corps be increased by an addition to it of 50 sergeants, 40 corporals, 25 drummers, 25 fifers, and 500 privates.
This small increase will enable us to supply for the ships of war well-drilled guards, and at the same time obviate the necessity of employing an irresponsible and inefficient protection to the public interests within the navy-yards. In its present form, this insecure protection costs the government, as far as I can learn, more than $30,000 per annum. Should marines be substituted in place of watchmen, this expenditure would be saved, a more secure and responsible protection be afforded, and a body of men always ready for any such emergency as a fire, or any commotion by which the public property might be jeoparded.
I also enclose a table, showing the whole force of the corps on the several stations, after the guards are furnished for the three sloops of war.
I have the honor to remain, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
ARCH'D HENDERSON,
Brevet Brigadier General and Commandant.
To the Hon. John Y. Mason,
Secretary of the Navy.
