Commander Brown will go out in command of her. having re- ceived the necessary leave of absence therefor, and it is expected that Engineer E. ©. Lind: jey will have charge of her engines. Her guns, which were on her when she was brought to the yard, will be replaced, ana she will be thoroughly overhauled. The Ascutney (general service boat) is bauled up for repairs, and will shortly be placed in charge of tne mechanics of the yard to putin order. he Tallapoosa, lately attached to the South Atlantic Squadron, has been out of cemmis- <10n some time, and is being repaired. The machinery of the Chicopee is being taken out, and report has it that she has been condemned. The Gettysburg is undergoing extensive sepairs, which will soon be completed, and it as thought she will soon be placed in com- mission one Maumee is also undergoing genera! re- pairs. The work generally about the yard is slack and the force is now down to about 1,050, about halfthe number employed during tie war. In the Smiths and Urdnanca Department Some additional force is being put on, and itis expected that after the !st of July work will be more plentiful. Judging from the number of men employed in the Plumbers Department an making the new style cooks’ galley (the in- vention of Mr. Wm. Young, one of the mechan- ics of that Department.) it would seem that the Department designs substituting them on every vessel in place of the old style. _At present every branch of the work in the Wavy Yard came under the control of the Bu- rear of Yards and Docks, but a law passed at the lasteession of Congress makes every de- partment independent, and on the Istof July this new regulation goes into effect. Under this law the Naval Store will be placed in charge of a regular officer, who, at that time, will su- percede Mr. William Wales, the present gtore- keeper. There are but few seamen in the mould lott, and enlistments are very dull. ge AvcTion Sates.—Messrs.
