Adjutant-General's Department, In- spector-Generars, Quartermaster-General's Commis- sary, Engineer, Ordnance, Pay, and Medical Depart- ment. Army Corps — A division of the army organized for a campaign — composed of Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery. The backbone of an army is the Infantry, which is sometimes divided into light and heavy In- fantry. Four fifths of an army should be composed of Infantry. Battalion — A body of Infantry, or two or more Companies, under one command. A Eegi- ment or a part of it, may be a Battalion. A Colonel may divide his Eegiment into several parts, assigning separate commands to subordinate ofiicers, and each part will be a Battalion. Batteries — When a number of Field-pieces of Artillery are arranged toget^ier they constitute a Battery. A Battery of Field Artillery is usually composed of six pieces. The cannon are six pound brass pieces, or twelve pound howitzers. Brigade — Two or more Eegiments. Brigadier- General — Comman'^r of a Brigade, entitled to one aid. The Columbiad or Paixham (pronounced payzan) is a large gun, designed principally for firing shells — it being far more accurate than the ordinary short mortar. Embrasure is the hole or opening through which guns are fired from fortifications. Loop-holes are openings in walls to fire musketry through. We have now an army of upwards of 650,000 men. If we add to this the number of the discharged three months' volunteers, the aggregate force furnished to the govern- ment since Apj-il last, exceeds 750,000. 30 STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL. Tlie Telegraph Hues along the Coast, Proposed hy Cyrus W. Fields and approved by General McClellan. Assuming that there can be no question as to the great advantages to be derived by the W ar and Navy Depart- ments, and, in fact, the whole government, from the es- tablishment of direct telegraphic communication between the seat of government and the principal military and naval stations which the government may have on our Southern Atlantic and Gulf coast, I would most respect- %lly recommend. 1 . That the land line of telegraph be extended from its pre- sent terminus in Delaware, through Accomac and North- ampton counties, in Virginia, to a point on the coast near Cape Charles. Miles. 2. That a submarine cable be laid from said point to Fortress Monroe > 20i 3. That Newport News and Fortress Monroe be con- nected by a submarine cable 6i Total to Fortress Monroe and Newport News 27 Thus, by the completion of this short land line, and the use of only 27 miles of submarine cable, direct communication would be established between Wash- ington and Fortr?ss Monroe and Newport News. Or, if there be any doubt about the government be- ing able to maintain the land line through Accomac and Northampton counties in Virginia, a cable can be laid from Fortress Monroe and Newport News to Annapolis, or any other point desired, on the west ; coast of the Chesapeak Bay, near Washini'ton, 4. That a cable be laid from Fortress Monroe to Fort Clark at Hatteras Inlet 152 Total to Hatteras Inlet 179 5. That Fort Clark at Hatteras Inlet, be connected with Fort Beauregard at Bay Point, Port Royal en- trance 352 Total to Port Royal 53i 6. That Fort Beauregard and Fort Walker at Hilton Head, be connected by a cable 2| STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL. 31 7. That the southern point of Hilton Head Island be couuested with Tybee Island at the entrance to Savannah, Ga. (Tue opposite ends of Hilton Head Island can be connected by a short land line) 6 Total to Tybeo Island 53^ Or, instead of connecting the opposite ends of Hilton Head Island by a land line, a cable can be laid direct from the fort on Hilton Head to Tybee Island. 8. T'lat a cable be laid from Tybee Island to Fernau- dina, Florida 97 Total to Fernandina 03Gi From Fernandina across Florida to Cedar Keys there is a railroad and a good land line of telegraph in operation. 9. That a cable be laid from Cedar Keys to Fort Pickens 271 Total to Fort Pickens 907| 10. That a cable be laid from Fort Pickens to Ship Island 102 Total to Ship Island 1,009| ^ Should government desire it to be done at anytime, branch lines to connect with the main line, can be laid — From Ship Island to Galveston, Texas 432 miles. From Cedar Keys to Key West 329 " From Key West to Tortugas 72 " or to any other points ou the coast with which it may be desirable to have telegraphic communication. A careful examination of the charts of the above pro- posed routes will show that nature has interposed no ob- stacle to the successful prosecution of this enterprise. The cable throughout the route may, and should be, laid in deep water, beyond the reach of either accidental or intentional injury. KOUTE ONE. Miles.

Five iron-plated ships or batteries are now in process of construction — one in New York by J. Ericsson, anoth- er at Philadelphia by Merrick & Son, and a third at New Haven by Bushnell & Co. The cost of these vessesl will be $1,290,750. It is interesting to observe that while we now have five iron-clad vessels in progress, the Secretary of the Navy includes in his estimate the cost of building a fleet of twenty of these invincible monsters. The specifica- tions are ready, and the contracts will soon be given out. On the 4th of March last, all the Government vessels available for service against the rebels were only four in number, carrying twenty- five guns. Our navy now con- sists of 264 vessels of all sizes, carrying 2557 guns, and having an aggregate tonnage of 218,016 tons. The num- ber of seamen now employed is 22,000. Of 136 vessels purchased, '^9 are propelled by steam ; all the 52 con- structed 01 nearly finished are steam vessels.

To furnish some idea of what the English are doing in the construction of iron batteries, we may add the follow- ing notice of her plated ships. The Warrior and Black Prince, iron screw propellors, both of the same size and capacity, are three hundred and eighty feet long, between perpendiculars, (four hundred and twenty feet over allj, STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL. 71 of fifty-eight feet beam, forty-one and a half feet depth from spar deck to keel, twenty-six feet draught of wiater, and six thousand one hundred and seventy- seven tuns burden, (builders' measurement;) with engines of one thousand two hundred and fifty horse-power. The plat- ing extends two hundred and five feet of the length, and consists of four and one-half inch plates of solid iron, backed with two layers of teak timber, altogether eight- een inches thick. This extends nine feet below lo^d "wa- ter-line. Iron bulk-heads of the same strength as the sides, extend across the ship fore and aft of the protect- ed portion, and within this space are six water-tight com- partments. Inner bulk-heads also extend all around the protected portion of the hull, leaving passages three and a half feet wide, between them and the sides. The main- deck ports, fifteen and a half ft-et apart, are about eight and a half feet above water. Though nominally thirty- six gun ships, the armament consists of forty-eight guns, which, however, can be increased, and consist of sixty- eight pounders for the main deck, ten Armstrong seven- ty-pounders on the spar-deck, and two pivot one liundred pounders, one at each end. The speed of the Warrior has proved to exceed fourteen knots; and at sea she is re- ported to have behaved admirably in stormy weather. The Black Prince has obtained a higher speed than the Warrior. The Achilles, now building, is of about the same di- mensions, and is to be completely incased with armor. The Valiant, of the same character, is to be a thirty-two gun ship, of eight hundred horse power engines. Six oi/.eis of the same class, of sixty guns each, are to be built, three already ordered. Beside these, a large num- ber of wooden ships of about four thousand tuns each, are building, with the express purpose of being armor- plated. Their estimated cost is thirty-nine million dol- lars, and it is expected that they will be ready for sea by the end of the present year. 72 STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL. THE FRENCH NAVY. STEAM VESSELS.

The following admirably written statement of the con- dition and efficiency of the French Army and Navy, has been kindly furnished us for publication. It was prepar- ed in Paris, by a thoroughly competent and faithful haul. All the cannon now used by the French are rifled. The equipment secures rapid movement over heavy grounds ; and plenty of spare nen, horses and material, make up for casualties, and preserve efficiency in action. I am also informed that the Emperor does not occupy himself much with new arms, but gives much attention to new modes of doing things, new drills, new tactics, new evolutions, new corps organized for special work in the field, the siege, the trenches, the escalades ; new ways of crossing rivers, ditches, marshes, climbing walls or hous- es and surmounting obstacles of all sorts, — much prac- tice in -manoeuvring large bodies massed, much athletic practice with arms, with sticks and without either — a great deal of target firing with guns, rifles, and muskets, at various ranges and over variable grounds ; rapid marches and new paces, square, short, quick — a return in some degree to the athletic drill and physical disci- pline of the Koman Legions. The central ideas being the development of athletic endurance, rapidity of move- ment, accuracy of firing, and by the division of labor, speciality of employment and perffiction of evolutionary drill, to produce the highest combined effect, with a giv- en force. 76 STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL As to the movements in ship building, &c., I can give you no infcrmation, for I can get none — but it is pretty clear that the Emperor does not consider the number of men as any guage of the strength of an army. Small armies have generally done the greatest work. The Rus- sian army on its present footing is about 850,000 ; the Austrian, 740,000 ; the Prussian,. 720,000 ; the French, 626,000; the English pretend to muster 534,000, but this includes 218,000 olacks in India, 18,000 colonists, and 61,000 militia and yeomanry, 140,000 volunteers, 15,000 pensioners, and 12,000 constables. There are no breech-loading guns in the army. The Emperor, I am told, does not like them ; has tried them; thinks them too liable to blow out or get out of order, and too expensive ; had experience of the Armstrongs in the China war, alongside his own, and, on the whole, pre- fers the latter. The artillery arm of the French army, (for field work) consists of 32 batteries of horse artillery, (6 guns) 192 guns ; ten batteries foot artillery, sixty guns ; six squadrons train pontoonier, and one hundred batteries mounted artillery, six hundred guns ; in all, eight hundred and fifty-two guns, thirty-seven thousand men, and about as many horses. The mounted artillery, one hundred batteries, is the great arm ; each gun in inarching order is as follows : — First, one gun, six hors- es and three postilions, (no man on the caisson); second, eight mounted gunners ; third, one caisson, six horses, and three postilions ; fourth, eight mounted ammuni- tion men ; fifth, three spare wheels — that is to say, the fore wheels of a gun carriage, with gun caisson, and spare wheel, (making three,) with two horses and one postilion ; sixth, six spare horses and three postilion-. The rack gun has sixteen mounted men, six postilions, and four spate postiHons, eight spare horses, three spare wheels, and one spare gun caisson ; in all, twenty-six men and twenty-six horses. Six of these form a battery. My own impression is, that all breech-loading cannon fail in rapid work — thqy get hot — the parts expand une- qually and no longer fit — gas gets in, and the parts be- come deranged or burst. I don't believe Armstrong's *' cups" for gas, will afford any remedy. Nevertheless, rifled guns are a great improvement, on account of STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL. 77 len,i]:th of range and accuracy — and elongated shot are better for some worli, but they Mall not ricochet. It is difficult to arrive at a fair comparison of the naval forces of England and France ; but I make it that the French are superior in steam and inferior in sails, and that, if the two entire navies were ranged in line of bat- tle, the forces would be so nearly equal that it would be difficult to say which would win ; and I judge from a speech of Lord Elienborough, at an agricultural meeting, that he arrives at a similar conclusion, as he says, " It is Useless to deny that we cannot rely on it, that we have any superiority of naval force."

Dietrich, of the University of Ber- lin, has furnished the Academy of Sciences in that city ■with the most recent and rehable tables on this subject, gjiving the following results, with his grounds for them : — Population of Europe 272,000,000 " Asia , 755,000,000 " America 200,000,000 " Africa 50,000,000 " Australia, etc 2,000,000 Total 1,288,000,000 or more than twelve hundred millions. Heckoning the average death as about one in every forty inhabitants, 32,000,000 die in a year ; 87,671 in a day ; 3053 in an hour ; and 61 in a minute. Thus one human being dies on an average every second, and more than one is born. The entire population is thus divided in point of religion : — Christians— Protestants 89,000,000 Romish Church.. 170,000.000 Greek Church.... 76,000,000 335,000,000 Jews 5,000,000 Mohammedans 160,000,000 Heathen 788,000,000 D ietrich thus distributes the population of the globe according to races : — Caucasian race 369,000,000 Mongolian " 522,000,000 Ethiopian " 196,000,000 American " 1 ,0!)0,0(]0 Malay " 200,000,000 Total 1,288,000,000 STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL.

The total nuinbcr of g^unB distributed throiig-h the trausport fleet is 45, not including- tlioseonthe floating- batteries, which, though fitted out at Annapolis, really belong- to the naval part of the forces. The caliber of the guns ranges from (> to 'W-pounders, which consist of rirtedguns, (field pieces,) boat howitzers, (rifled,) and mountain howitzers for shell. Of the whole number, all but four — the shell howitzers — are rifled, and arc of the Wiard or Farrott i^attern. The effective range of these pieces is from one and a lialf to two and a half miles. The expeditious manner in which this armament was furnished is deserving of especial mention. The whole matter Avas under the charge of Norman Wiard, Es«[., the inventor of the steel rifled cannon. Gen. Burn- Bide authorized him to construct the artillery, and gave him two weeks to do it in. Mr. Wiard went to work, and at the end of that time delivered to Gen. Burnside the entire number of guns ready for use, with both ship and field carriages complete, and every appliance for using the guns with equal facility on land or sea. In addition to this he furnished 5000 rounds of shot, shell, and canister of the Hotchkiss pattern, and 800 rounds of the Parrott pattern. The efliciency of this artillery needs hardly any praise. First, these guns are a most complete armament for the trans- ports on which they are mounted. Secondly, they are ready, ■whenever required, to hitch liorses to, and become the most formidable field artillery. Adding the guns of Belgier's battery to tliese, and it will be seen that there accompanies the expedi- tion what is every way equivalent to Jifti/one pieces qfjidd artil- lery of tlie most approved pattern, with but six guns in the entire lot that are not rifled. The entire cost of the guns and ammunition, delivered under the contract with Mr. Wiard, was but $(50,000. The Avork was done in New York and Troy, and a total of 2000 hands employed in their manufacture. THE FLOATING BATTERIES, Though not directly associated with the land forces or the trans- ports, have yet been gotten up under the sole supervision of Gen. Burnside. A good idea of their character is obtained when we say that they are, in every respect, similar to the strongest and largest canal boats on the Nortli River or Erie Canal. They are almost solid, from deck to keelson, and are divided into five water-tight compartments. They Iiave but one deck, on wliicli the guns are mounted ; and their working is to be protected by breastworks of bales of wet hay. The caliber of the g-uns is and 12-pounder Wiard's, rifled, with a range of two and a half miles for certain execution. Their names, number of guns, and commanders are as fol- lows : — Rocket — Three guns, in command of Master's Mate Jamea Lake ; Second Mate, J. A. Wilson. Grenade — Three gims, in command of Master's Mate W. B. Avery. Bombshell — Two guns, in command of Second Mate — — Downey. STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL. 37 Grapeshot — Two guns, in coramaud of Second Mate N. B. McKeau. Shrapuell — Two guns, iu command oi' Master's Mate Ernest Staples ; Second Mate Riley. The commanders of the iiotilla are Acting Master's Mates Ernest Staples and James Lake, with the former as senior officer. They each carry a crew of from twelve to eighteen gunners. They will be taken in tow by steamers, and wlien brought into action anchored in position. The surlace they present to the enemy's guns is so extremely small that it \vill be very difficult to effectually damage them, unless their gunnery la much superior to what it has been on like occasions heretofore. SIGWAIi CORPS. A signal corps of 22 lieutenants and ()0 privates has been organ- ized and instructed in the use of Major 3Iyers's new system of signals for army and navy use, by which orders can be communi- cated from the deck of one ship to another, or from one division or brigade of an army to another, with great facility and relia- bility. The act of signaling is performed by waving, in certain directions, to represent certain combinations of figures, which iu turn represent the letters of the alphabet, different colored and sized flags, and at night colored lights, on staffs sixteen feet long. The flagman knows how to make the movements when the com- bination of figures is announced to him, but the letter represented by the combination is only known to the signal officer, who stands by and directs him, and reads in return the signals from the opjao- site correspondent. The names of the signal officers accompanying the expedition are as follows : — Lieut. Fricker, Lieut. Thos. R. Robeson, Lieut. Thos. Foster, instructors, Sth Pennsylvania. Lieut. M. JB. Bessey, Lieut. N. F. Draper, 25th Massachusetts. Lieut. N. F. Barrett, Lieut. Luther Bradley, 27th Massachusetts. Lieut. Thos. B. Marsh, Lieut. W. H. Barker, 51st New York. Lieut. J. Lyman Van Buren, Lieut. R. T. Gordon, 53d New York. Lieut. Deming Jarvis, Lieut. W. S. Barstow, 2-ith Massachusetts. Lieut. Sauford B. Palmer, Lieut. Samuel M. Smith, 10th Connecticut. Lieut. Peter H. Niles, Lieut. Anthonj' Lang, 'Sid Massachusetts. Lieut. George W. Warner, Lieut. Fred. Schlacliter, 11th Connecticut. Lieut- Charles A. Breed, Lieut. Marvin Wait, Sth Connecticut. Lieut. J. C. Reed, Lieut. J. G. Beaver, 51st Pennsylvania. Lieut. J. W. Bopkins, Lieut. T. H. Shurawjiy, 21st Massachusetts. FREM-CH PONTOON TRAIN. There have been built expressly for this expedition some 300 bridge floats, or boats, to form a pontoon train of the French pattern. To express it more definitely, they are like a fisherman's yawl, eight feet wide and about thirty feet long. They arc placed two abreast in the water, stringers and plank laid upon them, and the bridf^e is then done. When wanted for use elsewhere, they can be placed upon wheels and axles, which accompany them, and be drawn by horses any where it is desired to go. A large portion of the train is at Fortress Monroe, and its entire length is 5440 ft. 38 STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAt. Another pontoon train, of the reg'ular India rubber pattern, also accompanied tlie expedition in cliargo of Mr. S. D. Field. It had been satisfactorily tested on the Severn lliver at AnnapoUs. DIVISIOI3" HOSPITAL. Major Church, Division Surgeon, established very excellent accommodations for the sick and wounded. The schooner Re- •,>,ruit, one of the best vessels in tlie fleet, is fitted up with four hundred and forty berths on two decks in her hold, and furnished with every appliance necessary to tlie care and comfort of the dis- abled. Tlie Division Hospital-ship is in charge of Dr. Samuel A. Greene, of the 24th Massachusetts, assisted by Dr. Tiieron Tem- ple, of the 25th Massachusetts, and Dr. Dodge, of the 51st New York. THE NUMBER OF TROOPS. The total number of troops is about sixteen thousand, com- prising fifteen regiments of infantry, one battalion of infantry, and one battery of artillery, besides^ the gunners and sailors on board ship. The assignment of the troops to tlie transports, after consider- able figuring and consulting, was finally made in the following order : — First Brigade, 25th Massachusetts, steamer New York and propeller Zouave. 23d Massachusetts, propeller Hussar and schooner Hi^-hlander. 27th Massachusetts, propeller Ranger and bark Guerilla. lOth Connecticut, steamer 'New Brunswick and schooner Skir- misher. 2ith.

STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL. 39 SHERMAN'S PORT ROYAL EXPEDITIOINT. The military strouj^th of the expedition is supposed to consist of about 20,000 mou. It is organized as follows : — ACTING MAJOR GENERAL, BRIGADIER GENERAL THOS. "W. SHERMAN. The division consists of three brigades, as follows :-- First Brigade. BRIGADIER GENERAL EGBERT L. VIELE.

There are various other regiments — as for instance the Third Rhode Islanil, Colonel Brown; the Engineer Volunteer battalion, Colonel E. W. Serrill, a corps of Sappers and Miners, which joined the expedition at Fortress Monro,', and which we cannot locate in any particular brigade ; and tliere may be still others embarked at that and other points, of whieh we have as yet no definite information. In addition to the regular land force accom- panying the expedition, there is also a battalion of United States Marines, under the command of Major Reynolds. Tlie entire milit.u-y ami of the expedition may safely be estimated, however, at not less than L'0,00i» men — for the most part picked troops detailed from General McClellan's command for this pai-ticula* service.

Petit, and the two ferry boats, Ethan Allen and Commodore Ferry, having returned, the fleet is now diminished to tliat extent. THE KIVER NAVAL FLEET. The Naval Expedition which sailed from Cairo for the South is as follows : — The total number of boats is 78, of which 12 are gunboats, 38 mortar boats, and 28 are tugs and steamboats. The o^unboats carry 15 guns of heavy caliber each, except the flag-ship of the expedition, the Benton, which has an armament of 18 guns. Seven of these boats cost $89,000 each to build. They are 175 feet in length, 51 feet 6 inches in breadth, and draw 5 feet when loaded. The bows and bow bulwarks consist of about three feet of oak timber, bolted together and sheathed with the best quality of wrought iron plates two and a half inches thick. The sides have the same sheathing, with less bulk of timber. The sides of the boats, both above and below the knee, incline at an an^le of forty-live deg'rees, and nothing but a plunging shot from a high bluff could strike the surface at right angles. The boilers and machinery are so situated as to be perfectly protected, and may be considered quite out of danger. The iron plating has been severely tested by shots from rifled cannon at different dis- tances, and lias shown itself to be utterly impervious to any shots that have been sent ag-ainst it, even at a range of 300 yards. The Benton is somewhat larger than the rest of the fleet, and has a double hull, with wheels working in the recess, near the 42 STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL. stern. The hull is divided by five fore and aft bulkheads, and thirteen cross bulkheads, making forty-five water-tight compart- nionts. Casemates extend around the whole boat, and are made of twelve-inch timber. At the knuckle on the main dock, the timber is from three to four feet in thickness, solid. The pilot and wheel houses are amply protected by timber and iron sheath- ing. The magazines, two in number, are each capable of carrying lOU rounds of ammunition ibr every gun, and aff'ord ample room for the necessary evolutions within them. The magazines can be flooded with water in a moment from tlie main deck. The mortar boats are built of heavy timbers, the sides of boiler iron loop- holed for musketry, and are so arranged that they can be used for bridges. They will each carry one 15-inch mortar. Tht mortar boats will be towed into position by tugs. THE MANTJFACTUBE OF ORDKTAlSrCE.

FLAG OFFICER, ANDREW H. FOOTE. Fleet Captain Coin. A. M. Pennock. Ordnance Officer • . Lieut. J. P. Sanford. Fla.^ Lieutenant J. M. Priekott. Quartermaster Lieut. Wise. It was made evident at an early day, that an armed flotilla would DO needed upon tlie western rivers. Secession held the Mississippi below Columbus ; it held the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers, and threatened the Ohio, inti'rrupting trade and producing- utter stagnation of business alonj^ its waters. Three g-unboats were or- dered to be built at Cincinnati,— Taylor, Lexington, and Conestoga, BJde-wheel steamers, — each carrying seven guns, which, so soon as they were put in commission, did excellent service, efifectually awing secession aggressions, which at one time even threatened the city of Cincinnati ! Subsequently it was decided to build eight floating batteries as gunboats, and to protect them in part with iron plates. A ferry boat, which had been employed at St. Louia, was reconstructed and christened the Essex. In addition, thirty-eight mortar rafts were ordered, and several steam tugs. The Essex was disabled in the Fort Heury fight, and is not yet repaired. The Cairo, one of the iron-clad boats, and the Taylor and lA^xington are up the Tennessee River, leaving- the following named boats to compose the expedition down the Mississippi; — Gunboats. Commanders. Guns. Benton (flag-ship) Lieut. 3. T. Phelps .... 16 Mound City A. H. Kilty 13 Cincinnati R. N. Stembel 13 Louisville Benj, M. Dove 13 Carondelet Henry Walke 13 St. Louis Lieut, Leonard Paulding- .13 Pittsburg Lieut. E. Thompson .... 13 Couestoga Lieut. Blodgett 9 None of the guns are less than 32 -pounders, some 42, and some 64 pounders. In addition, each boat carries a 12-pounder boat howitzer on the upper deck. Several of the guns are rifled. The Benton carries two tO-lnch Dahlgren shell guns in her forward battery; the others, one each. The Benton is iron-clad every wliere ; the others are iron- clad at the bows and over the wheel houses and engines, with the exception of the Conestoga, which, as before stated, is a side-wheel steamer, and has no plating. All of these officers, with the exception of a portion of the fleet ofliccrs wlio have been detailed for duty at Cairo, have won the ? raises of the Flag Officer for their admirable bearing- at Forts lenry and Donelson — with the exception also of Lieut. Blod- g:ett, of the Conestog^a, a native of Burlington, Vt., who on Wed- nesday last, assumed command, having- been detailed from Bostou for that purpose. Mortar Fleet. The mortar fleet is commanded by Capt. Henry E. Maynadier, of the Tentli Infantry, an experienced ordnance officer, assisted by Capt. E. B. Pike, of the Engineer Corps. There are four masters, »ach of whom has the control of four mortars. The masters are, 44: STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL H. A, Glassford, G. F. Jolmson, G. B. Simon, and F. B. Gregory. Each mortar boat is manned by a crew of fifteen men, three of whom are flatboatmen, accustomed to navigating- the river, who assist in bringing the boat into position, and maintaining it there. Although tliere are thirty-eight mortar rafts, and although strenuous exertions have been made to bring all into service, 3'et the competent officers and complement of men needed could not be obtained, and a portion only is at present ready to accompany the gunboats. If others are needed, they will be sent lor. Ammunition Boats. Although the gunboats have their locker full of powder, shot, and shell, no prudent commander will attempt an expedition of tills kind without a supply of ammunition. Accordingly, two large steamers have been converted into ammunition boats — the Great Western and Judge Torrence. They were fitted up at Cin- cinnati. There are twelve thousand rounds of naval ammunition of various kinds on board these boats : also rockets and sio^nal fires. The boats arc guarded against fire, so far as is possible, and are provided with water plugs, so that they may be scut- tled in five minutes' time, if necessary, to prevent their falling into the hands of the enemy, or in case of fire or other contin- gency. Captain W. F. Hamilton commands the Great Western, and Captain J. F. Richardson the Judge Torrence. In addition to these boats of the regular navy, numerous river steamers are in the employ of the government, used as tow boats and transports, to place mortars in position, and to supply the fleet with coal. Such is a brief notice of the naval portion of the expedition, which has been hurriedly improvised — if the word is allowable in this connection — brought together by the constant efiort and energy of Commander Fo'ote and his brother officers.

It is now about three months since the first steps were taken to form the fleet of bomb schooners, with which, from the first, the name of Commander David D. Porter has been inseparably con- nected. It is due to this gallant and experienced officer to say, that the fitting up and arming of this fleet has been done under his imnnHliate supervision, and in many important details tlie government are indebted to his ingenuity and judgment. The plans of the undertaking were projected by him, and in the im- portant matter of mounting and securing tlie immense mortars his skill is seen and acknowledged. The fleet consists of twenty- one mortar vessels, eight steamers, and one storeship. The mortar vessels, which, with two exceptions, are schooner rigged, were purchased by the j^overnment expressly for the pur- pose. The vessels were fitted out with remarkable despatch, some having been ready for sea in ten days from the time the work was commenced, while the heavy mortars and shell were transported from Pittsburg, Pa., to New York, the beds built up, iron carriages constructed, the mortars mounted, and every ves- sel re.ady for sea in the short space of twenty-nine days. That Commander Porter intends to make his presence felt wherever he goes, is evident from the fact that the flotilla is provided with powder and bombshells enough to rain a shower of iron hail over half of rebeldom. The fleet is manned by two thousand oflS- 46 STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL. cers and seamen, not one of whom is over thirty -five years of ago, — strong, vigorous, and brave. Both officers and men were se- lected by Commander Porter for tliis special service, and, with the exceptions of the commanders of divisions, the officers all be- long to the volunteer navy, than wliom a more intelligent, brave, and experienced body of seamen cannot be found in the world. Their hearts are in the work, and all that men dare do will be attempted by these men. The Harriet Lane is at present the flag ship of Commander Por- ter, the Octorora and the other steamers of the reserve division not having joined the flotilla. They are expected to proceed to Ship Island, where Commander Porter will transfer liis flag to the Octorora, which has been fitted up especially for his accom- modation. THE 300-POUNDER GUN OF ENGLAND. A preliminary trial of tlie immense three hundred-pounder gun, manufactured at the works ol" Sir W. Armstrong, Elswick, took place February 23d, at Slioeburyness, in the presence of the members of the Ordnance Select Committee, Sir W. Armstrong, and a number of scientific gentlemen. The tremendous weapon was Avorked with tlie utmost ease and facility by a small number of gunners, and the experiments were considered in every respect successful. The gun, not bein"- yet rifled, was of course used as a smooth bore, and was repeatedly fired Avitli a solid spherical shot weighing one hundi-ed and fifty pounds, and a charge of forty pounds of powder. The experiments arc preliminary to a trial of the power of the weapon when directed against armor plates, and after such trial the gun will be returned to the Koyal Arsenal and rifled, so as to become adapted for projectile shot of three hundred pounds and upward. RELATIVE VALUE OF PRISONERS OF ^VAR. According to a general order issued by General Halleck, the following tariff" of exchange of prisoners of war, which was adopted between the United States and Great Britain during the war of 1812, regulates the rate of exchange at the present time by order of General McClellan : — General, Commander-in-Chief or Admiral — sixty men. Lieutenant General or Vice Admiral — forty men. Major General or Hear Admiral — thirty men. Brigadier General or Commodore with a broad pennant and a Captain under him — twenty men. Colonel or Captain of a line of battle ship — fifteen men. Lieutenant Colonel or Captain of a frigate — ten men. Major or Commander of a sloop of war, bomb ketch, fire ship or packet — eight men. Captain or Lieutenant or Master — six men. Lieutenant or Master's Mate — four men. Sub-Lieutenant, or Ensign, or Midshipman, Warrant Officers, Masters of merchant vessels, and Captains of private-armed ves- sels — three men. Non-commissioned officers, or Lieutenants, and Mates of pri- vate-armed vessels. Mates of rncrchaut vessels, and all petty officer? of ships of war — two men. Private soldiers or seamen — one man.

For ventilating the berth deck there are, besides these, to be four blowing engines and blowers. STEEL-CLAD SHIPS. Qualities of Steel-Clad Ships. Every one has read, for the last few years, of the progress of experiments in steel-plated men-of-war, and we have liad detailed accounts of English and French ships, and elaborate discussions on their comparative merits. The testimony seems to be con- clusive that this plating is to change the character of all navies ; in fact, that a navy of wooden ships is no longer a navy worth having, if they are to be opposed to steel-clad siiips. It seems to be a settled thing that steel plates of four and one-half inches in thickness, and properly backed, will withstand the 100-pounder Armstrong gun at point-blank range. The vessels, plated on their sides, are generally protected on decks by a covering, wliich is intended to shed any shot which may strike. Besides these desirable qualities, the ships have protection for riflemen. In the great Stevens battery the men serving the guns are to accomplish tiieir duty by the aid of mechanism, which allows them to remain in a place of perfect security. Assuming all tliis to be true, — and we believe it to be true, — it follows that, unless guns can be so im- proved as to advance in capability of destructiveness in propor- tion as material is combined to resist their power, all fii-ing at a ship provided with the most approved armor would be a mere waste of ainniunition. A ship so protected, and armed, as in- tended, with the heaviest cannon, is not only a fortiiication, but it is a line of forts ; it is more — it is a perfect line of circumvalla- tion. If such a ship, in action, should progress two miles, it would be equal, if not to a fortitication of that length, at any rate it would be equal to a fortiiication not much less, and might be equal to much more, from capability of locomotion. Such a ship could destroy any number of wooden ships which might be opposed. Engagement between t-w^o Steel-Clad Ships. Another reflection is suggested by the adoption of armor for ships. How is a steel-plated ship to engage a uteel-plated ship ? Their guns can do no execution on each other, and sailors, STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL. 59 marines, nnd every thing' destructible are under cover. What is to be done when sucli ships, if hostile, meet ? Arc they to salute and retire iu search of smaller fry, or are they to fight? If they tiher is not kuown, but it is doubtless some old hulk which has been brought from the watery sepulchre to new and diabolic life. At Kichmond, also, two iron-clad vessels are being built, and the utmost activity in this direction charac- terizes the rebels since their partial success with the Merrimac. Six new Monitors to be built. The Secretfiry of the Navy has determined upon the immedi- ate construction of six floating batteries, exactly or nearly like the Monitor, and the preliminary arrangements to that end have been made with Captain Ericsson. The batteries are to be built with all possible despatch. No better illustration can be given of the remarkable inventive genius of Captain Ericsson tlian the fact, that after the severe and complete test to wliich his battery has !)e('n subjected, only one improvement, and that a trifling one, can be pointed out. It is the substitution of a cylindrical, instead of a s^iuare form in tiie little pilot house. In the engagement at Hampton Roails, the only injury sust.uined by the Monitor was the slight springing of one of the " logs " in this square pilot house. Ha-k, was struck, apparently at an angle of forty-five deg-rees, and tlie ball glanced off, making an indentation corresponding to one third the thickness of the ball, and about fifteen inclu's lo .g. The plate was partially fractured, but the iron was tough enougii to ward off the missile. Tlie most interesting object in the col- lection is a portion of the shell fired from the Merrimac into tlie cower of the Monitor. The head of the shell was imbedded in the iron armor of the Monitor, the remainder having been scat- tered by the explosion. Secretary Fox says it is useless to luakc any more guns of the caliber now used, but that some 15 inch columbiads, that will smash through any thing that fioats, must be provided for naval warfare. OUR n:e-w iron-clad navy. Senator Hale, as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs, has reported a bill providing for the construction of a steam ram of five or six thousand tons burden, at the cost of a million of dollars, and also appropriating- $13,000,000 for the con- struction of iron-clad gunboats ; $783,000 for the coiniiletion of Stevens's battery, and $500,000 for extending the iacilities of the Washington Navy Yard, so as to roll and forge plates for the ar mored ships. There is one grand, practical result from the present war which could not have been attained for the republic under any otluM- cir cumstances, and that is an iron-clad, invincible navy, the greatest in the world. Hitherto such vessels had been little more than a theory — an experiment in the course of development. The first practical test is in American waters, and by American vessels, constructed by the genius of American mechanics. Tlieir im- mense success will startle all Europe, add vastly to their public burdens, for it involves not only the construction of new navies, but an entirely different system of fortifications. STATISTICAL TOCKET MANUAI 7? It is a grand point to have the start in those engines of destruc- tion, and America will have gained that point over every power of Europe. In the event of a war between two maritime powers, that nation which has the most and best iron-clad vessels lirst at sea will be able to maintain the superiority to the end. No coast fortifications now built can keep such vessels out of an enemy's harbors. Seaboard cities, with their navy yards and ships on the stocks, will be at the mercy of iron-clad frigates. How do the powers of Europe and the United States relatively stand in regard to such vessels.' The following table will show what has been done and is now in progress in SiUrope : — England is building 15 France 14 Spain 5 Austria ; 2 Total 36 Of the English, acording to the recent statement of Lord Paget, six are to be of the same model as the Monitor, having a turret and two guns. The Warrior and Black Prince, alrendy com- pleted, are each upwards of 5000 tons burden. In addition to lier other guns, the Warrior carries one which throv/s a projec- tile of 4.50 pounds Aveight. This vessel is shown, by her trial trip to Lisbon, in smooth water, to be in some respects a failure. The iron-clad ram, the Defence, appears to be more seaworthy, but a clumsy structure, though it is stated she made eleven knots an liour. Her burden is .36(50 tons. The French iron-plated frigate Gloire is the first ever built, and a few others have been finished by order of Napoleon, wliich are regarded as an improve- ment on lier ; but what is done in this respect is kept as secret as possible. The United States have the following already built, contracted for, and i^roposed : — The Monitor 1 The Galena, built at 3Iystic 1 The powerful vessel at Philadelphia 1 The Adirondack 1 The Stevens battery 1 The Naugatuok, built by Stevens 1 Iron-clad "-unboats ordered by Congress 20 Irou-elad frigates recommended by Senate Naval Committee . 20 The iron ram do 1 Gunboats ordered by Massachusetts 2 Total 49 New Yoi'k State will probably add one or two more ; thus making a naval force of fifty iron-clad gunboats — greatly exceed- ing the combined iron-plated vessels of all Europe, and able to .vhip the navies of the world. In the foregoing list we have not included our iron-plated gunboats on the inland waters of the West. As yet we have only one — the Monitor — ready for ac- tion. The Galena and the tbrmidable boat at the Philadelphia Navy Yard will also soon be ready, and it will not take very long to clothe with iron armor the new sloop of-war Adirondack, now it the Brooklyn Navv Yard. The Naugatuck — a present to the 7S STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL. poverament by Mr. Stevens — is not completed. She is a small but stauch iron gunboat — a miniature of Mr. Stevens's levia- than floating battery. Her speed is ten knots an hour. She can carry coal lor twelve days, and her armament is a single one hun- droa-pounder Parrott gun— .the most formidable rifled cannon in the world. Like the Monitor, she can be sunk at will nearly to the top of her deck. The Stevens large battery can throw a greater weight of metal than any thin^ afloat, and she can outsail any war vesisel in the world. It will only take two or three months to finish lier. When to t>»ese is added the swift ram of far greater weight and power than the English Defence, and the forty gunboats and frigates, aiJ iron-clad, no navy in the world can resist such a force, is ot r», moment ought to be lost in preparing them for ac- tion. Tlif ♦'(tperience of each vessel engaged in actual battle will be sul>»d'"o*. for the improvement of those not yet flnished. Soon shall w' ra.ye an armada which will sweep the seas and be able to lay in ruins all the sea coast fortresses known to moderu scien*^. NEW PLAIsr FOR IROW-CLAD SHIPS. Mr. William N. Van Wagenen, of Newark, has a model of an entirely new plan of a shot-proof hull, and iron fort on deck, for an armored gunboat. This plan is fltted, not only for a gunboat, but also for a marine ram. Mr. A'au Wagenen proposes an iron- clad boat, entirely shot-proof, thoroughly stanch and seaworthy, with a stationary iron fort, within which shall revolve on a turn- table three or four of the heaviest cannon made. The peculiarity of the form of the hull is, that it presents absolutely no mark for the enemy. The side consists, in fact, of two disks joined together at the outer edge, which is sharp, and in practice would be of solid oak, ten feet through, armed on the outside with a band of eight-inch iron. The deck slants upward at an angle of about tea degrees, is sufficiently protected by two-inch and inch iron plates, and it is impossible to fire a shot straight at it. Every thing which hits must glance off". The bow and stern are of solid oak for twenty to twenty-five feet, and as the ship has no cutwater, the sharp, angular prow makes an excellent ram. The water-line of the vessel is a little below the sharp edge, and the bottom is therefore armored for one or two feet down. The stern projects far beyond the rudder and propeller, and gives important protection to these vital parts, which are altogether submerged and out of the reach of shot. The tower or fort Mr. Van Wagenen purposes to fasten to the deck, believing it much safer to'make the guns revolve within, and present themselves accurately to numerous portholes made in the tower. This he proposes to make of fifteen layers of inch boiler plates, laid over each other in a very ingenious Avay. He proposes the following dimensions for a sea-going and per- fectly sea-worthy iron-clad boat, which will show the novel pro- f tortious he brings into use. The hull to be two hundred feet ong, sixty-five feet extreme beam, tapering to a sharp point at bow and stern. The lines arealike, stem and stern. Ship builders will see some novel advantages in her form. The ribs and deck beams are nearly alike in shape, and scarcely any crooked limber need be used in the construction. The tower is to be forty feet in STATISTICAL TOCKET MANUAL. 79 outside diameter, thirty;- seven inside, eight feet high on the out- board edges, five feet hi"-]i amidships. It sets in the vessel, in- stead of on its deck. Sue is to be moved by one propeller, and her lines admit of almost anj"^ speed, twelve knots easily. She will be of very light draught, as is evident from her shape, and would draw about tweuty feet when in running trim. The cost of a vessel of the dimensions abov^ meutioucd, built on Mr. Van Wagenen's plan, he estimates at $250,000. IBON-CLAD FRIGATE. The iron-clad frigate now building at Kensington will be ready for launching by the first of May, and handed over to the govern- ment in July, according to the terms of the contract. The vessel, when finished, will be one of the finest of the kind in the world, and will be far superior in many respects to the British frigate Warrior. The new frigate is to be 3500 tons burden. Her armament has not yet been fully determined, but she will carry at least sixteen guns, of eleven-inch bore, and will, doubtless, have several deck pivot guns. Notwithstanding her immense weight, she has been so modelled as to draw but fifteen feet of water, besides having- the additional advantage of greater steadiness in a heavy sea. She is two hundred and thirty I'eet long, sixty feet beam, twenty-five feet liold, and will have three full decks. The greatest feature about the new frigate will be the exceedingly small quantity of water which she will be made to draw. She will be the liglitest draught of over five hundred tons, except the Pawnee, in our navy. In this respect the vessel will be superior to the much-talked of Warrior, the weight of both being taken into consideration. The latter draws twenty-seven fuet of water, or more than the whole depth of tlie Kensington frigate — twenty- five feet. Owing to the declivity in the sides of the new frigate, it will almost be a work of impossibility for an enemy to board her. The declivity of the sides commences at the water's edge. The bulwarks are exposed eleven feet above water mark, and the tops of the bul- warks are situated ten feet from a vertical line that joins the foot of the bulwarks and the Avater mark. Besides this, the iron plates will be so constructed as to project six feet beyond the stem below water, which will enable them to act as a battering ram, by which vessels may be run down and swamped. The iron for this purpose has already been prepared, and is now ready for use. Her boilers, engines, rudder, and steering appa- ratus will all be below water mark and out of harm's reach in case of action. The deck will also be covered with iron. The iron plates below the water mark will all be fastened on before launching, while those on the sides will be put in place afterwards. The iron plates on the sides will be hammered smooth, and owing to the declivity, balls will glance from the vessel. Behind the iron plates the wooden hull will be twenty-three inches thick, in addi- tion to the knees and waterways. The wood used in the construc- tion of this vessel is principally oak, of the best quality. At the present time about 400 men, of which 100 are laborers, and the balance borers and ship carpenters are employed on the new frigate. As soon as she gets more fully under way this force will be greatly increased. The total cost to the government for tha construction of this vessel will be about $900,000. %^ STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL. THE T"WENTY-I]SrCJa: GUNS. Many objections are raised to the plan proposed by the War Department of casting- twenty-inch guns, besides the danger of bursting. Tlie Philadelphia U. S. Gazette says, this gun is twenty feet long — too long to be handled on board a vessel, as it must be run in and out to load. The gun carries a solid shot weighing one thousand pounds, or a shell weighing nine hundred and twenty-five pounds. It must, therefore, be loaded by machinery. STJBMARIIsrE ARTILLERY BATTERIES. Another project, supposed by many to be new at the present day, is that of submarine artillery batteries — firing ^uus under •water. This invention engag"ed P\ilton's attention. Ho several times fired a four-pounder, submerged three feet in the waters of the Hudson, and on one occasion he -.Iso fired a one hundred- pounder situated at the same depth. With such a battery he pro- posed to fire into the hulls of enemies' war vessels under their water lines, and thus sink them. Such submarine batteries were designed to be carried in war vessels, and when required they were to be hung and slung over their sides, and submerged. The advantage, that the invention recently brought foi-ward probably has, is in the method of mounting and regulating the guns beneath the water line. BBBEL OFFICIAL STATEMEA^t OP THE BULL RUN BATTLE. The rebel force actually engaged in that battle, as appears from the official return, was only fourteen regiments of infantry, five batteries of artillery, and twelve companies of cavalry. The plan of the battle was drawn by Beauregard, and approved by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston on the 2()th, the day before the battle ; so that Johnston was first and Beauregard, second in command. Beauregard commanded the reserve in person. Just 1421 of our soldiers were captured by the enemy. Of this number, 871 were sent to Ilichmoud, and 550 wounded men Avere sent to the rebel hospitals. Our losses of cannon and ordnance stores, which have never been accurately estimated by the Fed- eral officers, are summed up in an official return from Capt. Alex- ander, of the rebel engineer service, as follows : — " One 30-pounder Parrott gun, with .300 rounds of ammimition ; nine 10-pounder Parrott guns, with 100 rounds each ; three 6-pounder brass guns, with 100 rounds each ; three 12-pounder brass howitzers, with 100 rounds each ; two 12-pounder boat howitzers, with 100 rounds each ; nine James's rifled field pieces, with 100 rounds each ; 37 caissons ; (> travelling forges ; i battery wagons, splendidly equipped ; Gi artillery horses, with harness, &c. ; 500,000 rounds small arms ammunition ; 4500 sets of accou- trements, cartridge-boxes, &c. ; 4000 muskets. Total number of cannon taken, twenty-seven ; muskets, four thousand." In the panic of our troops they threw away great quantities of tools and equipments, the most important of which were 105O camp cooking utensils, 2700 mess utensils, 700 blankets, 23 horses, 21 wagons, and a large quantity of miscellaneous articles. STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL. 81 MILITABY EDUCATION. We are glad to see that this is already receiving the careful at« tention of practical miuds. It is not too early to begin the discus- sion that must lay the foundation for a system of military education adapted to our wants and peculiarities as a nation. Wo have received a pamphlet entitled " A Plan for Military Educa- tion in Massachusetts," written by Edmund Dwlght, which ia worthy of attention, not only on account of the plan proposed, but for the information it gives on the general subject, some of which we condense. France, Prussia, Switzerland, Austria, and other European nations require a certain amount of military ser- vice from the whole male population, in order that the material for efficient armies may always be at hand and ready for any emergency. Had we been thus prepared, how much of blood and treasure might have been saved to us ! War has been with us a slow, expensive process, and fruitful of disastrous blunders. Mr. Dwight cites the example of Switzerland, our sister republic, to show what the history of the present rebellion might have been had we been prepared for such a crisis. In 1847, seven of the Swiss cantons seceded from the Confederation. They held the strongest military position in Europe, but the loyal cantons put on foot an army of 100,000 men, well armed, drilled and officered, and in thirty days from the first proclamation of the commanding general the war was ended and order restored. Had we been able to do the like, how quickly the days of the present unholy rebellion would have been numbered ! In 1856, a quarrel having arisen with Prussia, Switzerland raised an army of 200,000 men, well provided with artillery. Switzerland has no standing army, and as the state is a confederacy of cantons under democratic forms of government, we may find something in her system appli- cable to our own case. The constitution of Switzerland declares that every citizen is a soldier. Military service is required between the ages of twenty and forty-four. The substitution of one man for another is forbidden, but exemption from service is allowed to certain persons, such as oflUcers of the government and of pub- lic institutions, clergymen, students of theology, and others. The militia is divided into the federal contingent and the land- wehr. The former consists first of the elite., which includes three per cent, of the whole male population between the ages of twenty and thirty-four. The time of service is eight years. Second, the reserve, being one and a half per cent, of the population not above the age of forty. The landwehr includes men up to the age of forty-four. The landstrum, or levy en masse, comprises the whole population capable of bearing arms, between the ages of twenty and fifty, and not included inlthe classes before described. The male population of Switzerland is 1,140,000, and under tlrs system the little republic has always at her service 275,000 efie> tive men, well armed, drilled, and officered. This force ia not a mere conglomeration of militia, but suitably divided into artillery, cavalry, light and heavy infantry, engineers, sappers and pon- toniers, &c. The men are put through courses of instruction which last from twenty-eight to fifty-six days, according to the arm of the service, in the first year, and for shorter periods in the subsequent years. To complete their instruction the cantons send their men yearly to federal camps of three or four thousand 6 STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL. troops each, where they are kept under canvas for two weeks. A close inspection of the condition and arms of the men is con- stantly maintained by officers appointed by the federal govern- ment. Great care is talcen in the instruction and selection of the officers. Each one must <^o through a course of instruction at a military school appropriate to eacTi arm. There is no higher rank than that of colonel, but when a colonel is appointed com- mander-in-chief of the army he receives for the time being the title of General, which he afterwards retains by courtesy. The system proposed by Mr. Dwight for Massachusetts is that every man be required to perlbrm a certain amount of drill before he is allowed to vote. Young men between tlie ages of eighteen and twenty-one should be placed in camps of instruction for six weeks during each of tliese three years. About 12,500 young men arrive every year at the age of eighteen in this State. Deducting 2500 for exempts, we should have 10,000 fresh recruits oflTering themselves for instruction every year, and as the instruction would extend through tliree years, a body of ;>0,000 youn^ men would be in camp every year, who should be formed into infantry, cavalry, and rifle regiments, besides a proper proportion of the Bpecial arms of artillery, engineers, and cavalry. The head- quarters of these regiments and their camps might be distributed in districts corresponding to the present congressional districts. It should be provided tliat the youths should be well instructed in the school of the soldier before joining the camps, and this could easily be done at the public schools. To provide competent officers we should establish a State Mili- tary School, whose standard should be at least as high as that of West Point Academy. Mr. Dwight suogests the plan of the Polytechnic School at Paris for a model. It should combine a scientific with a military education. The course of instruction should be such that the best engineers, architects, chemists, mechanicians, and constructors would be graduates of this school, as our best engineers have been from West Point. The cost of establishing the school should be defrayed partly by the State and partly by individuals ; and its current expenses should be met partly by the State and partly by the pupils. Pupils from other States to pay a double rate. From the pupils of such a school would be drawn tlie officers and instructors of the militia. In case of war, officers liolding commissions in the militia should have a claim to a similar rank in the volunteer service. By such a system, an effective corps of educated officers would be kept up without expense in time of peace, and in time of war the skeleton of an army would exist, needing only those supplies which a patriotic people, trained to the use of arms, would promptly furnish. Mr. Dwight thinks the cost of such a system would not exceed $350,000 annually. STEVENS'S BATTERY, &c. The Senate Naval Committee has formally voted in favor of an appropriation sufficient to complete the Stevens battery, and fifteen millions for the construction of iron clad steamers.

It is estimated that there are now completed and in operation througliout the world 70,000 miles of railway, which cost the sum of $5,850,000,000. The extent of railway known to be in opera- tion, from actual returns, according to the London Engineer, is as follows : — Miles open.

This method of intercommunication has been developed with extraor- dinary rapidity in the United States, and although temporarily checked by the civil war, will, when the rebellion is crushed, be even more rapidly extended than in the past. NATIOK-AL TELEGRAPH ROCrKTD THE WORLD. An appropriation of $100,000, and two small vessels, will be asked for in Congress for the purpose of instituting a survey, in conjunction with other nations, of a telegraph line from San Francisco to the north-west coast, overland, via Behring's Straits and Asiatic Russia, to the mouth of the Amoor River, as proposed by McDonald Collins. The scheme is to connect the American system of telegraphs, from a point in Missouri, with the line now bein^ constructed from Kanzan to the Amoor. When finished, the hne will bring in telegraphic union the whole European and American systems, and belt the world. 114 STATISTICAL POCKET MANUAL. PACIFIC TELEGRAPH -TABLE OF DISTANCES The following- table of distances will be found of permanent Interest, suflScient to warrant its preservation. It gives the dis- tance, from station to station, throughout the entire line traversed by the Pacific Telegraph and by the Overland Stage Company ; and also the distances from New York to Omaha by two routes, viz. : by way of Chicago, and also by way of St. Louis. The Pacific Telegraph Company's connection with the East was first established via St. Louis. But the war in Missouri caused such frequent interruptions to telegraph communication through that state, as to threaten the most serious consequences. The Com- pany accordingly took early and prompt measures to secure the construction of a new line through Iowa, which, with lines already existing, would give them a connection with Chicago by a more direct route, and so far north as to be safe from rebel in- cursions. That line is now finished. The two lines — one from St. Louis, and another from Chicago — meet at Omaha. The names of places set in italics (as also Great Salt Lake and San Francisco, which are set in small capitals) are Telegraph Stations.
