THE BLOCKADE. JWisit of the Assistant Secretary of t! + Navy to the New York Shipping—The’ Board of Naval Surveyors=What They ‘Are Doing—Two Hundred Vessels at ‘This Port Sarveyed, dc. Very fow persons kuow of the naval preparaions of the “Navy Deparimeat and of tho pretended desire to pur- chase or charter a sufcient number of vessels of suitable draught and strength to be converted into gunboate for the “Parpose of perfecting the blockade on our coast, which Ought to have beon efiiciently blockaded three mouths ago. For the last eighteen days a small steamer has been employed in conveying from vessel to vessel a board of Raval examiners, who have been employed in selecting ‘vossels of what they deem proper capacity to do the work sfequired of them, From that time up to yesterday over “two hundred vessels have been surveyed or looked at, but only avery small number have passed the survey and will bo filted out. Those naval examiners could haye Baved time had they mounted the spire of Trinity church» ‘and looked at the vessels in port with one sweep of the ‘telescope. Our reporter was present on board of the steamer Saturn during ber tour of surveying. Captain 0, V. Fox, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, with Naval Constructor Pook aud Chief Engincer Ellwood, formod the party on “Board. Assistant Secretary Fox bas come on to this city for the \Oxpress purpose of assisting in’ the selection of vessels for ‘blockading and transporting purposes. He or some one else should have visited New York four months ago for this purpose. Ove of the greatest difficulties exprienced by the bonrd is, that when shipowners learn that their ves- el bas boen surveyed, they immediately fix a price for her far above her worth. This cripples the move- Monts of the government, aud we are authorized to state that only a fair and reasonable price will be paid for a vessel or her charter. This ditculty could be very easily obviated by advertising for suitable vossels. Our Assistant Secretary would not be troubled with high prices if he adopted this plan. Shortly after ten o'clock of Saturday morving the Saturn cast of her lines and turned her prow up the Eas’ river, steaming close in ou the Brooklyn shore. As she Passed along the docks each yersel was carefully ‘canned, but as most of them drew from twelve to twonty feet of water, the commission did not top to oxamine them, notwithstanding the Jeff Davis, Sumter and otbor privateers are far out at ea, where the water is measured by the hundred fathoms. Leaving the Brooklyn shore, the party steamed @cross the mouth of Wallabout Bay, and thence up the -shore of the Eastora Qistrict of Brooklyn; but no vessels sf tho right description were to be found, except those ‘that had previously been surveyed; and yet every Mock was full of shipping. The steamer thon mood across the rivor, and was soon alongside of the dock where lay moored the steamer Daniel Webster. The wparty disombarkedt and were goon on board of her. The Daniel Webster is a side-wheel steamer of 1,005 ‘ons, and draws about 11 fect of water when loaded, She fs built of white oak and chestaut, and is well fagtened ze copper. She was built in 1851 by W. H. Brown. ‘Bho has a vortical beam engine, with one cylinder of 66 fuches in diameter, and 10 feet stroke of piston. ‘The fol- dowing are her dimeusions:—Length, 225 feet; bean, 30 eet 10 inches; depth of hold, 18 feet. She las three masts and is Square rigged forward, and could be so ‘altered as to mount about eight guns. The party in- r@pected this vessel thorouglily, going into every part and sportion of her; but uo decision was given. It ig probable showover, that she will be purchased. So that the whole +day wiil not be lust, Que steamer will probably be pur- «chased! Leaving this steamer, the attention of the Assistant Sec- Tetary was called 1o the gunboats now fitting out at the foot of Tenth and Eleventh streets. The following is the list; — Name. Guns, Jamos Adget 8 Alabama 12 ta 10 Walley City... 5 4n addition to the above there are two propellers whose “poiters aud niachinery havé been lowered from the deck and placod in the bold, each to mount three rifled guns. The steamers Satellite and General Putnam have also ‘been purchased. ‘They are of about two hundred and fifty tons register each. They will have iron bulwarks, and be armed with one heavy gun. Following the New York shore down, several sailing ‘craft were noticed, which are being converted into war vessels. Thoir deck houses have been removed, and their decks overlaid with sheathing, so that they can mount guns. Their sides have been pierced for guns. +» The following is a list of saiking vessels being fitted out ‘ag Gunbents ut the shipyards: — Name. Bark Brazileira.... Ts. uns.

The boat was immediately headed for her, and when we arrived at rthe dock tho party disembarked and surveyed her. It + proved to be the brig Now York, of 204 tons registor, built ‘in 1800 by J. Mutter, of Baltimore. No prettier vessel + floats the water, and no pains were spared in building hor; ‘Dut the great fault of the vessel was that she did not have “her-deck placed kigh onough to cut for ports, and they did fot seem inclined to put guns on her spar deck, otherwise ~6he would bgan excellent’ war vessel. Again ombarking, orders were given to sail close to the lips where the East river steamboats lie, but nothing was at the docks worthy ofa survey. At pier No. 9 the atten- “tion of tho party was directed to the bark Anna, of 997 fons, built in Port Jefferson in 1854. She {s a fine, able “ooking vessel, and Constructor Pook ‘made a noto”’ of her. ‘Our course now lay towards the Atlantic dock, but as ‘most of tho vessols lying there have been inspected, it ‘was not dcemed advisable to again visit it. So the course -was alter to Rod Hook Point, where the schooner En- chantrese lay. This Is a fine fore and aft schooner, of 378 tons rogister, built ia Hoboken in 1852. With some little altoration she could be made very serviceable on the eblockade, Running from the point up the bay, each vessel at ‘anchor was thoroughly scanned, with the hope to find some that would suit the purposes for which they were intended. The first vessel which attracted attention was the brig Maria, formerly a fore and aft schooner. She is a fine looking vessel and a fast sailer. She is of the “following dlimonsions:—Tons 181, length 93 fect, beam 23 feet, dopth 9 fect, and draws 11 fect of water. On in- ‘quiry it was found that she would not answer the purpose. The schooner H. Parker was the next vessel boarded, ‘his vessel soomed to possess nearly all the qualifications ‘Foquircd, and the survey was very minute. After learn- ng the whercabouts of the owners the party left, and as the breeze sprung up the schooner got under way and Procecited on her voyage to Philadelphia. As no more of ‘tho vessels in tho river were of the draught required, our Dow wag turned towards the North river picrs,and all the spropellers lying in the vicinity of pier No, 9, North river, ewere carcfully cxamined. This occupied a large share of sthe afternoon and completed the day's survey. - In all the examinations Mr. Fox took pains to satisfy ‘himself personally of the qualifications of the vessels, not that be in any manner doubted the ability of Mfr. Con” -tructor Pook, but being a man of the sea ho was natur: dy intorestod in them. In every city whero there is any number of vessels Ahere bas been appointed a Board of Naval Surveyors, sand surveyors aro visiting the minor ports with a view of pelecting light draught vessels to blockade every inlet on ‘the coast, and prevent the departure of privateers and cargoes, a3 well a8 to prevent veasels carrying the enemy any provisions or munitions of war. We hope they may sgucceed; but loook at the time lost, the property already destroyed by privateers, the disastrous effect of tue loose and inefficient blockade on our interests! ‘Necessity for Employing Our Steam Mer- chant Vessels to Enforce the Blockade. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. ‘You deserve the thanks of every sensible man in this «community for your efforts to rouse up the Navy Depart. mont from its Rip Van Winkle mode of action, and I frust you will continue to point out thoir neglect to avail them. gclves of ships and means within their reach to reinforces the blockading squadron. The languid and tnefficient management of the navy is a disgrace to our age and couptry, and should no longer be tolerated by this great «maritime people. Every arrival from the Southern coast brings intelligence of the escape of rebel privateers and the ingress of vessels to the rebel ports The blockade is a farce, and will short!y lead us into the moat serious disputes with France and Great Britaia. The first Maritime Power to declaim against paper blockades, our government now asks the great Powers of Frrope to permit ‘ug to declare our whole Southern coast cloeed @dicts from Washington. It is notorious Ux: @ single port south of the Chesapont, ke (with possibly, of Pensacola) that is roally blockaded. Re- | sions. To the surprise of our crew, our commander took | tered in the United States service, is in want ofan expe bel vessels sail in and out of the Missiasippi, in plain sight of United States cruisers, and Charleston and Savan- nah are frequently left for days together without @ Union ship-of-war within fifty miles of their harbors. The privateer steamer Sumter is already famous for her capture of our traders, and this morning the departure of the steamer McRea, and her escape from the United States ship Brooklyn, is announced. We will soon hear of the Star of the West and other vessels, and possibly, after the capture of one or more California treasure ships, the Navy Department may wake up and make some further effort to close the Southern ports. Their inactivity might be pardoned if no vessels could be obtained to reinforce the blockading fleets, but such is not the fact. New York ‘has uow lying idle at her wharves @ dozen or more of the most efficient steamshipsin the world, At the head of this fleet stands the Vanderbilt, confessedly the strongest, fastest and best sea going steamship in the world. This ship is emminently fitted (notwithstanding the con" trary opinion of the naval contractor) to the service for which steamships are now most needed, namely :—watch- ing Southern harbors and capturing any vessels that may attempt to enter or escape therefrom. Had sho been at the mouth of the Mississippi, instead of the United States steamship Brooklyn, when the Sumter came out, the Sum_ ter’s career would have ended in her capture on the first day of her cruise. You will recollect that the Brook- lyn chased the Sumter for hours, and could not catch hor, How many hours would it have taken the steamship Vanderbilt to bring the Sumter within range of her guns? We have beard something of the depredations of the Sumter, but not tho last; her next feat will proba- bly be the capture of a California steamer, with $1,000,000 of treasure; and we know that all thi? could bave been prevented by having a fast steamship to intercept her at the mouth of the Mississippi. The Vanderbilt can comfortably carry» at the highest rate of speed, a battery of heavy guns that could destroy the whole rebel fleet. That a ship of hor beautiful model and wonderful speed, ready for services should not suit the slow coaches of the Navy Department, is, parhaps, not to be wondered at. They prefer such old lumBer wagons as the old frigate Potomac, and some others of her class, until they can take time for due deliberation to 'work out specificatious and make contracts for a few steam gunboats, guaraniced to steam eight knots an hour, By the time’ these gunboats are ready for service the ocean will swarm with privateers, and our shipowners and merchants will have lost ten times the value of the steam flect that the government are now asked to purchase; it is “locking the stable door after the horse is stolen,” and this has been the policy of the Navy Department from the beginning of the war. ‘They have, within the last two weeks, bought several of the Southeru steam packets, and are now fitting them out as cruisers, Why didn’t they they buy and fit out these ships three months ago? It i5 notorious that the Quaker City, a merchant steamer, has done more blockading ser- vice than any half-dozen of the regular men: the government might for the last three months haye bad thirty similar ships cruising off Soythery DArbors. ‘Three | oral 5 Lcnce they may find out that the steamers now idle are capable of good service. Why can't they see it now? 1 have spoken in high praise of the Vander- Dilt, as she stauds first in the steam merchant marine of the United States. Other splendid and efficient ships are available. The famous Atlantic and Baltic (once the pride of New York), the Ilinois, Ariel, Ocean Queen, North Star, Cahawba, Bionville, De Soto, Coatzacoaleos, Fulton and others could all be put to in two weeks, Tam informed that the izacoaleos, ou her recent trip to Washington, steamed eighteen knots an hour, and from a rifled cannon threw eighty pound shells with accuracy er enough to sink a ship at four rifles dista: she must be au eflicient ship, and is ready proba- or immediate service, ‘ould it not be well for the merchants and ship owners to call a meeting and state in the strongest terms their disgust at the apathy of the naval branch of the government? As they havo lately shown symptoms of waking up, by the purchase of a few steamers and sailin vessels, it’ Is posible a spirited appeal from the chie mercantile citics might jaduce them to act more ener- getically in the plain dischaige of tucir duties, New Yors, August 10,1561. ~~ eyes bh; Cruise of the Roanoke and Powhatan.

A close lookout was kept all along the shore, as therg are various rumors and surmises of the rebels erecting more batteries in this vicini It was re- ported, but whether froia any reliable sources or not, that at the lighthouse batteries were in tho course of construction. We ran to within @ yory short distance of the shore, as the water here is of good depth, but could discern. nothing. Even the two houses—all that there is at this place—secmed deserted, and not a living being could be soon. At a short distance back of the lighthouse is a large sand hill, over the top of which the grecy folinge of Wo woods Is visible, Jf is surmies] that a short distance from jhe ehore, probably in these woods, may be located an eucampment and battury of the rebels, who keep themselves vory quict ; in anticipation that our forces may sonie Lime undertake to make a landing here for the purpose of preparing for an onslaught into Nor folk, which canngt bo oy ra dozen or fiftcen miles dis- tant. Lam éufprised—wlth ihe @féat tumber of troops that have been gueamped in and around Foriress Monroe, doing comparatively tothing, aug all anxious for some active duties, with the number of Zmzboats, transports and sinall craftin the employment of gd¥e.;'ment, also more than half the time lying idle—that an éxp, tition hag not been @tted out and a reconnoissance made of the point on which the lighthouse is situated. Suppose such a thing had boen done, and two or three compames of our volunteers landed at this point, they could baye thrown up light batteries, keeping a stroug picket guard out to warn the main body of the approach of the rebels in case they undertook to drive them from ti spot, and with laudehes, snail boats and little craft at onr service, our men could havo beat a retreat without tho loss of a volunteer. It would have kept the rebels in commotion, nd no doubt drawn off their ‘tention and meuns to thie vicinity, that was all con- centrated on Richmond. Such annoyances, I think, could have becn such as would have troubled them greatly, and without avy great expense or waste of time on our part. It isa system of warfare, to be sure, that displays not much geveraiship, or gives an oyportuniiy for a flou- rish of a “grand movement of the arnfy of advance,” but, hevertholess, it would keep the rascals in hot water, and might bo the means of doing great goo’. Such an expedi tion could be fitted out in two hours at ang time at For- tress Monroe, with the faetlities alwayé there,in the fleot of vessels und soldiers, and it would set Norfé#e and that region in a fever heat, and this, too, without any risk of losing a life or a dollar's worth of property. There is not a soldier or sailor at Fortress Monroe but would glory in the opportunity to be one of such party. On Sunday morning, as wf neared Bawdy Island, about cighty miles down the coast, south from Hampton Roads, we discovered the United States frigate Iylug at anchor guarding the const in this v salted vis, x8 the flag Ship, with Ubirtecn guns, distance farther we made out the gunbost Unicn, in near the shore at a place called Loggorsiiead Inlet, where she had goue to look after a vessel that the Savannah had the day previous run into shallow water, and had gone ashore. It proved io be the schooner or brig Wiliam — the latter part of the name we could not Tear, Wut she Was from Bostou. bound to Philadelphia, with a load of machinery, very valuable, The veeeel liad, as we un. derstood, been captired by some privateers, ‘who were taking hor Into a Southern port when thoy were caught at it by the Savannah, andrun her ashore. ‘The Savannah was unable to get near her, so when the Union eamo aleng ehe ran in, fired one or two shells, wud get the yo-sel on fire,uud the rebels took to their logs and rao for the woods. The Union sent a smuil boat to hee, but found it would be impossible to get the vessel off, 80 added to the destruction of her more fire, and lay off to watch her burn. The rebels made theif appearance on the beach and fired at the Uaion, who sent into their midst one or (wo shells, which kept them at a distance. We could seethe smoke and blaze trom the smouldering Tulns of the vessel for many miles,and hours after we passed tho spot. ‘The Union, in th’ course of tho day, followed us up and gave us ‘the formation I have hero given, but, unfortunately, I was unable to hear the name, or what particular articles comprised the cargo. You may, doubtless, hear before this reaches you from the Savabnah, It hows that the daredevils of Southerners have no fears of tho haiter when dare venture out, as they must have dono, to have overhauled this vessel, or eise she must have been greatiy out of her reckoning. It is only small craft that they will ever be abic to tako, such as Uiey can run into little iniets and coves with, where they are aware large ships-of-war are unable to visit. But when our ree that are.now buiiding are out, which will now in ashort time, and are stationed along the coast, to fill up the interstices between the ficet of large vessels now on the coast, privateering will Rave a poor sight. Sinall gunboats that can run fast, with light deaught of water and a sinail armament ofgrifled guue,are what we require to make the blockade perfect. As it is it is effectual enough, but itcan be made a complete stopper to even yaw:boats, and will be in the course of sixty days. We arrived here last night at half-past ten o'clock, and came to anchor. During the night we had a most terrific Storm, accompanied by hghtning and thunder. 1 have witnessed storms on the Western prairics, but nothing to be compared to this. This forenoon we weighed anchor and went ahead seme ten miles, to lay off the bar. they Unite States Steamer Pownatan, Movrn ov tine Missisewer, June 19, 1861, } The Stars and Stripes, Union Down, Hoisted at Fort Mor- gan—Capture of ‘he Schooner Mary Clinton—Brig Creole and Other Rebel Vesels—Arms and Ammunition Landed by Small Boats, de.

We were relieved by tho steam frigate Niagara on the 29th, and ordered to'the Southwest Pass of the Missiasippi. On our way down we captured a prizo, the schooner Mary’ Clinton, of New Orleans, laden with provisions, supposed for the rebelarmy. We puta prize crew ou board and sent her to your city. On the 81st we captured a Pensa- cola schooner laden’ with fruit, from Honduras; kept her for three days. After selecting a general assortment of the cargo for cabin use, he let her go, although he pab- licly pronounced her a lawful prize. On June 2 took the brig Creole, of Belize, Honduras, laden with fruits kept her two days (the commander of our ship received a large cunntity of pine applea, bananas, &c., for cabin use), then let her go without overhauling her, This brig Creole) has since discharged her cargo along the coast, thirty miles from here, by means of boats, which cou- sisted of ammunition, artns and specie, to a large amount. All the foreign vessels are leaving here as quick as they can be towed over tho bar. Strange to say, they geno. rally fly the English flag, tho same as our commander did when we arrived in Pensacola, which is a disgrace to him and mortifying to his crew. We have been informed that most of these vessels belong to New Orleans, and are fur- nished with false clearances for Liverpool, Even the old names are taken off and new ones sub- stituted. On the 8th of June the steamer Mount Vernon rived here, with the Parkersburg in tow, laden with provisions and live stock. Sho supplies our squadron with an equal share of provisions and live stock. There were reserved for our crew twenty-five hogs, Raina Beye ep, eight barrels of potatoes aud & large quantity of fresh becf. ‘There is much dissatisfac- tion among the crew at the action of the commander in icking out all the choice pieces for himself and officers, leaving the crew that which they ibang officers) would not have, and, it is said, traded a portion of it aud a quantity of rice for a barrel of wine for his own use with a captain of a provision bark.
