Neither her captain, Ben Brace of course, nor those of her crew who were capable of reflecting on the future, and providing for its probable contingencies, regretted this inaction, forced upon them by the continuance of the calm. Indeed, although becalmed, the "Catamarans" were not inactive. There was work worthy of their activity, and which occupied them during the whole of the day.
It is fused and consolidated by a turn of events that arouse the patriotic emotions of the whole people and unite them in a common enthusiasm. The evolution of nations is attended by the same contingencies, the same law of probability, the same law of the survival of the fit, as are organic bodies.

If the war should be continued until the 30th of June, 1848, being the end of the next fiscal year, it is estimated that an additional loan of $23,000,000 will be required. This estimate is made upon the assumption that it will be necessary to retain constantly in the Treasury $4,000,000 to guard against contingencies.
