What we have done once we may do over agaiv; and working at the same rate, we would be able, in our merchant yards, to turn out, in one year, 583 ships of 1,000 tons each. In our six navy yards, where the choicest materials are stocked for building a fleet of 100 ships, 60 more men of war ships might be built z one year, making a totul of men of war ships of all classes,-varying in their-armament from 8 to 60 guns. More than 100 of our greatest engineering firms would com all the machinery necessary . tobe put in these ships in leas than a year. Our capabilities and facilities of building ships have hot in the least suffered by the ae of the seceded States. They never were shi building States, aud as Inte as 1860 they only built (combined) 1 full rigged ship, while the Northern States bnilt 110 ships of the same description.
