Mr. Bocock, (dem.) of Va.; in speaking of naval re form, said it was necessary to have more efficient sea- men in our service. This has long been desired. Some years ago a resolution was adopted, or law passed, re- quiring all seamcn enlisted in our navy to be Americans, and native born; but worthy and respectable men can- luring the not be procured, because they can get better pay in the cemmercial marine. The Secretary of the Navy recom: mends that increased pay shall be given to efficient seamen, and he hoped the Howse would so de- Kighteen dollars a month, considering the the employment, would be aa twenty-two dellars in the merchant service. He should submit an amendment authorizing an increase of the number of sailors from 7,500 to 10,- 000. The Secretary of the Navy thinks that possibly eeme exigency may occur to require them. In looking at the navy with a view to reform, a man is met at once | with the ory that « large number of officers have for 20 years been idiing about the country; drawing full pay from the trevsury. He admitted this; but there ix a | different class of navel officers, who are modest, quiet, and engaged in their duty, and who do not undertake | to control the action of Congress when reforme are projected. Some officers live in and for the service while others live on the service and the treasury—the | iatter putting forth the most complaints as to the ac | tom of thie body. He apoke of cutting off ngeless | pranches of the navy, by retiring infirm officers. If ine competont from old age orexposuse in service, it is the duty of enlightened patriotiam to take care of them, but it i not rigth that they should draw fall pay. A retired eysten is an clement of economy and reform. Mr. Parnes, (dem.) of Mo., replicd, granting that rome MORNING EDITION—WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 1854, . ably. He was opposed to the eatablishment of ecivil List, aul did not believe the American people were prepared to adopt it. He offered an amendment, adding over $300,000 to enable the Secretary of the Navy to pay higher wages to seamen, if necessary, Adopted. ae Mr. Ganarrr Surmu, (aboiitionist,) of N.¥., moved an amendment—That no intoxicating liquors sbal! be pro- vided sa a beverage. The armies end aaviesof the world are the nurseries of drunkenness, and the ar- my and navy of America fa no exception to this fact. His amendment proposed a chango in ,the navy regulations—a change no lesa blessed than ra- dical, We all admit a sober man in all relations ard departments of life, is more to be relied on than a érunken man. This is emphatically trde in the army ard navy. How careful we shoud be uot to peril the habits of cobriety in soldiers aud sailors. He would add, if we would make our vessels of war respected, let them carry the temperance flag, so that whorever they go they may convey high evidence of the strength and wisdom of America, Let the world once know that the American army and nary are divested of rum, and they will be a terror of the world, as they never yet have been. We do not wish or intend to alarm the world, but to benesit the world by our navy, Tet our ships, as they go into the ports of the world, be great temperance lecturers, having the greatest in- fluence on: morals. If the House adopt this amend- nv at, five years will not pass away before there will be no liquor rations in the army and navy, and ten will not pass defore there will be no drunkards in them, for government will refuse to enkst drunkards. Then thous- ngs of mothers and fathers will biess you from the bottom of their hearts for the reform you have begun this day, and remember Congress with gratitude forever; for they well know if their sons enlist they will not be- come drunkards. A wholesome reform will visit civi life; for judges and lawmakers will be ashamed to dftnk rum, because soidiers and sailors do not. Mr. Surrm, (dem.) of Va.—I ark the gentlemen whether he dos not know that liquors are sometimes used as a medicine? Mr. Gerrerr Swrru—Surely; but my amendment does not interfere with that. Mr. Swit of Va.—I understood the gentleman wee ageinst all use of it. Mr. Gsremt SuiTH—Not at all. Mr. Summa said he could appreciate the benevolont feelings of the gentleman. He would ask him whether he did not know that an intoxicating liquor is gome- times necessary to the developement of the physical €nergies of the country, (laughter,) and whether there are not more gluttons than drunkards, and whether gluttony is not more destructive than Grunkennes? He was anxious to see the amend- ment adopted, although he thought it Utopian, and of questionable utility. The gentleman is a Peace wan, and wishes to make the army and navy a terror to the world. He, (Smith) was willing to secure peace by making them a terror to evil doers. Mr. Stayton (dem.), of Tenn., moved to amend) § adding—‘ and no officer shall be allowed to use intoxe cating liquors, except as a medicine. ’’ The amendment of the gentleman from New York was simply to abolish grog rations; but it did oot prohibit the officers from carrying wines and liquors in their stores. It would evidently be unfair to prevent the one and permit the other. It would be just as right for Jack to have his grog at the tub, as for the officer to have his in the cabin. If the one wes ;rohibited, ao should the other be. Mr. Sarru’s amendment, thus modified, was adopted— 71 against 52. ‘Mr. Purtys offered an amendment which war adopted, appropriating $870,000 to pay the expenses of the Japan expedition. Without concluding, the committee rose, and the House adjourned. From Boston. HEAVY VAUL.GRE—THE VERMONT CENTRAJ. RAILROAD THE WEATHEH AND THE CHOLERA. Bostos, July 26, 1854.

The amount of the second mortgage bonds is $1,600,000, and no interest has been paid upon it since October lass. The annual ieeting will probably be of a vory lively character.

Its trees are brought here and exhibited, measuring some hun- dreds of feet in diameter, capable of stabling quite a cavalry of horses inside of it. California farmers have brought here their heads of wheat longer than your arm, and.upon stalks taller than a tall man’s head, Their potatoes they eay grow so large that one of them will suffice for a large family, and, now, to all these “big things’’ are added strawberries, alx inchea in circumfe- rence, Soni proms d us in future larger than popes and peaches, Truly,California is a great State, Mr. Benham we ure much obliged to you for this remembrance.
