C. S. Navy

--The Savannah papers inform us that the Navy wants all kinds of hands who understand ship and steamboat work, to complete and build gunboats Several gunboats are in progress of construction and under contract, and many hands are needed As these hands are at work upon gunboats for the Confederate States, they are exempt from all military duty, and cannot be drafted; and any one who is in the army can obtain a furlough to work on them by application to Col. D. S. Johnston, Saffold, Early county, Ga. The Confederate States Navy-Yard is situated upon the Chattahoochee river, at Saffold, Early county, Ga., and accessible by steam boats from Columbus, Ga., Eufaula Ala. and Fort Gaines, Ga.
