NEW PUBLICATIONS
THE NEW-YORK TRIBUNE.
LARGE PREMIUMS.
TO OUR FRIENDS.
Hitherto, ts e have never offered any one a premium for ,
helping to extend the circulation of TIM TRIBUNE. We
have printed the cheapest newspaper, considering the out
lay by which it is produced, that was ever issued in any
country; selling it for little more than the cost of the white
paper; have employed no agents to canvass for seined
here, and have allowed no compensation (beyond a copy
of our paper) to any of 'the thousands of generous friends
who have annually taken care that the number of copies
of our several issues circulated In their respective neigh
borhoods should be at least maintaindl, and if possible
increased. We have been sparing even of verbal thanks
to those friends, but have none the lees realized the full
ness of our obligation for their earnest, unselfish, pains
taking, persistent efforts. '
. We propose for the present season only—in view of the
horsiness of the times, and the fact that we are enabled to
buy white paper eomewhat cheaper than we have hitherto
done, or can hope to do after...the close of the War—to
make some email acknowledgment—not so much a recom
pense as a slight testlmonlal—to those friends who shall
acetate exert themselves to obtain subscriptions (whether
originate or renewals) to our Weekly and Semi-Weekly
editions. We do not know that we could offer anything
of similar value more generally acceptable and useful than
a Gold Pen of the best quality and finish. We propose,
therefore, to forward to each person who, during the two
months ensuing, shall send us subscriptions and payments
for Tun TRIBUNE, na follows:

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1802
Monarchical Place-holding.
The injustice of monarchical, as compared
with republican institutions; was exemplified,
in a remarkable manner, in the accumulation
of offices of emolument and dignity in the
person of Prince Albert, lately the husband of
Queen Victoria. With us, it is considered
that no person ought to hold more than one
public office, or receive mere tam one salary,
—in'fact,-that there is injustice in a plurality
of office—inasmuch as the pluralist, with his
energies dividc,d, cannot acquit himself pro
perly in a double capacity, and also deprives
some other person of a situation. In England,
though with some grumbling from the masses
—the aristocracy thinking that scarcely too
much could be done for Royalty—Prince Al
bert was literally loaded with office and emolu
ment.
Orrhis marriage, a life-pension of' $150,000
per annum was settled upon by Parliament.
But of this, living at free-quarters with his
wife, the Prince never spent more than one
sixth, In any one year, and the accumulation
of savings, during nearly twenty-three years,
must have ameunted,, at ordinary interest, to
the sum of $5,000,000. One would naturally
say, Prince Albert would doubtless provide
for his younger children out of this immense
sum? Not so. When any of the Royal off
spring marry, Parliament votes a great sum in
hand as a wedding portion, and endows the
bride or bridegroom with a great life-pension.
The Princess Royal, on her marriage with .the
Prince of Prussia, received a dowry of
$550,000 in cash, and was put on the pension
list for $40,000 a year for life. As the Royal
children reach maturity, they are disposed of
in the following mamter Tho Princesses are
married off, with dowries and pensions, and
the Princes, thus made very dear to the over
taxed British people, are established in life,
each with a life-pension of from $lOO,OOO to
$125,000, over and above what they may take,
as holding offices under the Crown. Thus,
Prince Alfred, who is now a Midshipman,
will probably be Lord High Admiral, with a
large salary, by the time he is of age, and his
brother, Prince Arthur, the god-child of" The
Iron Duke," is as likely as not to be Com
mander-in-Chief of the army, when he is
twenty-one ye3rs old, the pay being only $45
a day, and $9O a day if he also be Field Marshal.
Of course, that he will be, forhis father, the
late Prince Albert, was made Field Marshal,
in February, 1840, at the mature age of twenty
years and five months.
The transformations in a pantomime can
scarcely exceed this. The young gentleman
might as well have been made Archbishop of
Canterbury, or Admiral at the Nore, or Lord
High Chancellor, or President of the College
of Physicians, or President of the Royal
Academy, or Prime Minister. If the Royal
letters-patent could at once change a raw youth
of twenty into a military commander of the
highest rank, they could, by the same magical
process, have bestowed upon him an intuitive
capacity for filling the most responsible offices
in Church and State, on the bench or in the
navy, in medicine or the fine arts. The Into
Duke of Wellington was forty-four years old
before he received the baton of a Field Mar
shal, sent to him by the Prince Regent in re
turn for having sent trim the baton of a Mar
shal of France, captured at the battle of Vit
toria ; fit reward for thirty years of service.
In November, 1840, - three othar-Pield
shals were made : Sir George Nugent, after
seventy-four years of service; General Gros
venor, after seventy-two; the Marquis of An
glesey, after 'nearly seventy. There were
others, also holding this rank; two (the King
of Hanover and the late Duke of Cambridge),
because they were Princes of the Blood.
The King of Holland, out of complimenL
Leopold, of Belgium, because he had married
the daughter of George the Fourth. Wel
lington—who had fought for it. Two days
before his marriage, Prince Albert received
the baton, leaping over the heads of all the
officers in the British Army, without having
ever "smelt powder," except at a review.
What did ho gain by it Pay, to the amount
of nearly $9O a day, and the privilege of
wearing a cocked bat with immense plumes of
red and white, leathern gauntlets on his bands,
and a tall pair of jack-boots upon his lower
limbs !
The tendency of 44 great" people, across
the water, to grasp, for themselves, all the
molt profitable offices was curiously illustrated
in the person of the Duke of York, second
son of George the Third. While yet an in
fant, the Bishopric of Osnaburg, in Hanover,
(the hereditary electorate of the House of
Guelph,) became vacant, and the emoluments,
amounting to some $BO,OOO a year, were too
valuable to be given out of the family. King
George actually appointed this sucking-baby
to the vacant See, and, though ho finally be
came Field Marshal cad Commander-in-Chief,
the Duke of York also continued Bishop to
his dying day—nearly sixty-four years later.
The English newspaper, the Albion, which
has an interesting article on the death of the
late Prince Albert, thus sums up the items of
his fortunate career :
On the 10th of February, 1840, the marriage
took place at the Chapel Royal, St. Tames'. Par
liament testified liberally how greatly her Majesty's
choice was approved. The Prince was nationalized,
and received a grant of .£BO,OOO a year ; the title
of Royal Highness by patent ; the right to quarter
the Royal Arles of England ; and precedence by
Royal warrant next to the Queen. Places of trust
and , honor, and, in some instances, of emolument,
were heaped upon him. At the period of his death
he was a member of the Privy Council ; Chief
Steward of the Duchy of Cornwall In trust for the
Prince of Wales, and Lord Warden of the Stan
neries ; Governor and Constable of Windsor Castle ;
Grand Barger of Windsor, St. Jaime, and Hyde
Parks ; a Field Marshal, and Colonel-In-Chief of
the Rifle Brigade; Colonel of the Grenadier.
Guards; Captain General and Colonel of the City
of London Artillery Company; a Knight of the
Garter, of the Thistle, and of St. Patrick; and
Acting Grand Master of the Order of the Bath. He
was also elected Chancellor of the University of
Cambridge, and nominated LL. D. and D. O. L.
He was Master of the Trinity House ; President of*
the Royal Commission of the Patriotio Fund for the
relief of widows and orphans of soldiers, seamen,
and marines, who fell in the war with Russia ; Pre
sident of the Society of Arts; and either at the
head of, or associated with, various public Chari
ties of the Metropolis. At one time it was gene- '
rally said to be the Queen's desire that her husband
should be raised, by act of Parliament, to the dig
nity of Ring-Consort; but, unbounded and enthu-
Bluth) as was the devotion of all classes to her Ma
jesty, it was not deemed expedient that this, con
cession should be made. There was no direct in
tention manifested ; the public pulse was only felt.
But the scheme was not approved ; and, if over
seriously intended, it was withdrawn. In 1857,
the title of Prince Concert was finally conferred
upon tho subject of this sketch by her Majesty's
Order in Council."
There are a few omissions here. Prince
Albert, besides receiving $15,000 as Governor
of Windsor Castle, and $1,500 a year as Consta
ble of the same Royal residence, was appointed
Grand Ranger of Windsor Park (salary $15,-
000) in 1841. He was High Steward of the
borough of Windsor since July, 1850. More
over, besides being Doctor of Laws from Cam
bridge and Oxford, he was Doctor of Philoso
phy by diploma front his Alma Muter, the
University of Bonn. tie was .High Steward
of the borough of Plymouth. His military
appointments (Field Marshal and Colonel of
two regiments, the most lucrative in the ser
vice) must have yielded hint an addition to
his income of at least $50,000. As nominal
manager of his eldest son's Duchy of Corn
wall, he also was well paid—indeed, most of
his official holdings were so remunerative that
their annual total very closely approximated
upon the $150,000 a year which Parliament so
lavishly bestowed upon him.
There somehow seemed a full development
of Flunkeyism when Prince Albert was in
question. The neat little orations which ho
occasionally delivered at public dinners and at
public meetings—written for him, during se
veral years, by Dr. Lyon Playfair, and, more
recently, by Sir Charles Phipps, his treasurer
and private secretary—were universally
praised by th e new,spapors, as models of elo
quence. His patronage of an institution was
looked for, canvassed for, with great avidity.
Even the University of Cambridge forgot her
proprieties and saCriflced her dignity, in order
to obtain Prince Albert as her nominal head.
, . .
The facts are Curious—as showing a particular
phase of ,Englitill society.
In FebruarioB47, the Duke of Northum
berland, art•jnajpensely rich gentleman with
under the tuMaii: average of brains, paid the
last great dlihrof nature. Because of his
rank and wealth, he had been elected Lord
Steward nf the VniversitY of Cambridge, and,
in 1840, on the death of Marquis Camden, was
elected Chancellor of the University. He was
succeeded, as, Dord Steward, by Lord Lynd
hurst, the "130
~ i
n boy," who was Chancellor
of England mid; half-a-dozen Governments.
In the usual rc; leo, Lord Lyndhurst should
have been apriqinted Chancellor of the'Uni
versity, on the'r,death of the Duke of North
umberland. Out Lyndhurst was too poor to
stand the expense of a contest—Lord Powis
having intimatsd an intention of becoming a
candidate, chieby because, not long before, he
had championed the University in Parliament.
The tuft-hunters of Cambridge resolved to in
vite Prince Albert to enter into a contest.
They probably , , thought that he was as well
qualified to prciiidc over an University as to
carry the baton t ,pf a 'Field Marshal. Lynd
hurst had risen, by merit, from the ranks of
the people, and that evidently disqualified
Aim—though,' in. ':,:his early manhood, his ta
lents and learnhighad enabled him to win the
highest acadocal distinctions which the
University could bestow.
Prince Allfwt entered the field as a candi
date; against? Lord Powis. It was said, at
the time, thaChe "had no pretensions beyond
his exalted rabic." After three days' polling,
in the course t of which the chairman and lead
ing memberS of Lord Powis's Committee
wont over to the other side, Prince Albert was
elected by a majority of 112. It was an
nounced, by: private circulars,. addressed to
noblemen apd gentlemen who bad votes, that
the Queen Would take it as a compliment to
herself, if 1.16 r husband was elected. So Cabi
net MinistAs (including Macaulay,) Bishops
and Parsons, Judges and Politicians, voted
for Rank. On the first day's polling, the
Prince got only 148 votes to 214 given to Lord
Yowls. ror the next day, there was tremen
dous whilming-in, and Royalty had 86 majo
rity, incOaSed to 112, when the poll finally
closed. It was a sharp race. After all the
iTrifping, the spurring, the hints, the canvass
ing, the promises, even the threats, out of
1,790 votes,,as many as 839 were against-the
Palace candidate. One of the squibs on the
occasion thus hit off the point, with an allu
sion to the remarkable hat, iloriculturally
shaped like a flower-pot, which he invented
for the British army, which Poach so terribly
ridiculed, and which the Duke of Wellington
declined adopting:
Prinee Albert on this side, Lord Powis on that,
We will not say which is the brighter.
But we give up the Youth who invented a flat,
For the Man who has rescued a Mitre.
Then why, ye Collegiate Heads, did you run
Into all this hot Senate• House bother ?
Can itbo that the Yduth who invented the One
Has a share In dispensing the other?.
Well! Prince Albert is dead, and we hold
to the old c , de maul's" rule of speaking not
unkindly of the departed. The Prince was
an useful man in his day, and in his gencria
tion. He was a good husband and father,
and had the merit of behaving most respecta
bly in, the somewhat anomalous position he
occupied. If honors and emoluments were
showered upon him, in the most lavish man
ner, by the Queen, he cannot be much con
demned for accepting them. The system, not
the loan, is to be blamed,—the system being
essentially monarchical. There will be a
scramble for his more lucrative appointments,
:end it is safe to prophecy that the Prince of
JYales will obtain the best of them.
The New Defences Opposite Tort Dela•
Col. Totten, of the Engineer Bureau, has recom
mended (see letter in yesterday's Mess) the estab
lishment of n permanent fortification on the Dela
ware chore of the bay, opposite Fort Delaware, and
the subsequent construction of a temporary fortifica
tion on the Jersey shore of the bay, opposite the same
fort. Without these now defences and the imme
diate completion of Fort Delaware, Philadelphia
will not be satisfied, because she will not be secure.
An understanding of the position of Fort Delaware
will bettor exhibit the sagacity of Col. Totten's
plane.
Pea Patch Island stands in the centre of the De
laware river—at this point sometimes called the
bay, although the bay proper does not commence
until thirty miles below at Bombay Hook and Ben
Davis Points, where it at once widens—at the point
where the stream is sufficiently narrow to admit of
cannon shot reaching either shore. The island is
about forty miles below Philadelphia, and is low
and flat, surrounded by a dike and rows of willow
trees. Salem, a town of oonsderablo importance in
West Jersey, is about seven miles distant and out of
reach of the guns of the fort. Delaware City, a
leading town in Delaware, the terminus of the
Chesapeake Canal, is ono mile and a half distant.
The eanaljskirts the south of the town, and would
furnish a good natural defence against aloud attack
made from below. If the new fort is located at all,
it will probably be placed directly at the town of
Delaware City, most probably on the marsh above
the village, or, mayhap, at the entrance to the
looks, and directly at the foot of the main street.
To locate the fort below would be to plate it in the
hands of an enemy, in case a retreat across the
canal were rendered necessary. Reedy Point, a
long arm of marsh, stretching into the bay about
four wiles from the fort, below Delaware City, is
barely within cannon reach, and, therefore, would
scarcely furnish a good auxiliary defence. A small,
marshy creek (St. George's), that makes into the
river between Reedy Point and the town, might
also be Made available, and a fortification erected
on tho north bank would probably serve as a valu
able assistant to tholong gnus of the fort. Marshes
surround Delaware City, above and below, but the ,
banks of the 'river are high in front of the town,
and there Is an abundance of good wharling. The
marsh comes around to the west of the plane, about
a half mile from the village, on the road to Port
Penn, and another marsh hems in the town on the
north, receding from the river, and crossing the
road to Clark's Corner and Newark. Thus, Dela.
ware City is well defended by nature, and would
probably be Inaccessible to a land enemy.
There is no settlement on the opposite shore of
New Jersey, where it is proposed to construct a tom
potary fortification, but the Jersey defence would
bo scarcely more accessible, being flanked by
marshes, and defended on the south and west by
Salem river, that runs parallel with the Delaware
for six miles, constituting what is called "Lower
Penn's Nock."
There is a, good channel on either side of tho
Pea Patch, but vessels generally prefer the Dela
ware channel as the broadest and deepest. From
the Jersey shore flats and shallows extend for a
long distance, whereas vessels of heavy burden
come almost to Delaware City wharves. The fort
is nearly midway of the river, and is a little loss
than two miles from either shore. Reedy Island,
a strip of high ground, crowned with a light-house
and a few tenements, stands below Port Penn about
five miles. It could seal cely be made available in
case of invasion. Above Fort Delaware the river
can be easily defended, as it abounds in small
islands, and the channels often extend almost to
the brink of the shore.
At Fort Mifflin, which is to be put in comploto
order, thoio is a small light-house island iu the
middle of the river, and just abovo, the shores of
Now Jersey are stable and precipitous.
FOOD STATISTICS FOE THE PAST YEAR.—Up
to the year ending yesterday there had been gold at the
Philadelphia Mote yards n grand total of 554,778 head
of cattle, of nil kinds. This aggregate was divides] na
follows: Beeves, 62,705; sheep, 260,020; hogs, 109,179;
cows, 4,014. It would be difficult to make an accurate
guegg as to what proportion of this vast quantity of flesh
woo consumed in the city. Much of the mat was cored
and packed hero and sent abroad in a compact shape.
There use two or three large packing establishment., in
the city which kayo heavy contracts for supplying the
army with meat. In addition to the meat that came into
the city on the hoof, large quantities coma hither from
the West in the form of hams, bacon, Sc. There was
also n largo quantity of fresh meat brought into the city
front the neighboring counties, and from New Jersey,
which never reached the drove yards, and of which no
record was kept. When we add to all these supplies the
huge quantities of poultry, fish, and oysters, brought into
the city and consumed here, the conclusion may be safely
arrived at that vegetarianism is making but slow pro
gress here. In addition to the enormous consumption of
bre:hiffle required to supply six hundred thousand
mouths, the following figures will show the quantities of
this description of food which were shipped from our
port riming 1801: Barrels of flour, 440,878; bushels of
wheat, 2,044,343 ; bushels of corn, 702,723; barrels of
corn meal, 28,314; bread, packages, 23,416.

FoninEss Mormon, Dec. 30, via Baltimore.—The
Norfolk Day Book, received by a flag of truce,
gives a curious account of the capture of the
schooner Sherwood..
Among other things, it states that three of our
gunboats were disabled, and the Express set on
fire. All the damage done by our shells at Sowell's
Point is said to have been the killing of a rooster.
The commissary stores, including a portion of the
ordnance department nt Nashville, were destroyed
by fire on the 23d inst. Tho loss is estimated at
nearly ono million.

Six contrabands were taken from a small Canoe
in the Chesapeake Bay, off Back river, this lam
ing, in an almost exhausted condition. They were
brought to headquarters. They state that the in
habitants of Yorktown and the military authorities
there aro very much frightened at tho expected
attack.
It is believed there that General Burnsido's ex
pedition is certainly destined to go up the York
River, and that General Wool will co-operate in an
attack upon Yorktown.
Gen. Magruder is said to have telegraphed the
condition of affairs to Richmond, and asked per
mission to destroy Yorktown by fire, and to have
received a reply directing him to refrain until he
is certain that the plane is to be immediately at
tacked.
Strong batteries aro placed on each side of York
ricer, and the force is estimated at 30,000 in the
vicinity of Yorktown.
Suicide of Brigadier General Philip St.
George Cooke
The Norfolk Day Book of the 29th inst. has the
following announcement of the suicide of Brigadier
General St. George Cooke, of the rebel army ;
Ricrinoan, Deo. 27, 1861.—Philip St. George
Cooke, brigadier general in the Confederate army,
accidentally or designedly killed himself at his
residence in Powbatan county yesterday. Ile was
a wealthy, public•spirited gentleman, and a well
behaved and accomplished officer.
Brigadier General Cooke was a graduate of the
United States Military Academy at West Point.
He entered that institute as a cadet in 1828, gra
duated July, 1832, was immediately appointed to
a brevet second lieutenancy in the Second artillery ;
promoted to adjutant of his regiment in 1833. Ile
resigned in 1834. He WAS a native of Virginia, and,
at the breaking out of the present rebellion, was
commissioned a general in the Confederate army.
[The name of the general whose suicide is an
nounced must not be confounded with that of Gen.
Philip St. George Cooke, who, although a Vir
ginian, is a truly loyal man, and holds a Federal*
commission as brigadier general in the regular
army. lle is an accomplished cavalry officer, and
has command of the regular ca, iry in the army of

A Baltimorean Badly Injured.
lho Richmond Examiner says : A bloody affray
occurred in the second tier of the theatre on Thurs

a soldier, belonging to Caskie's Rangers, was beat
en by a man named Patrick Callahan, hailing from
Baltimore, and kicked down a flight of stops ; that
the soldier recovered himself and rushed back upon
his assailant, and dealt him a terrific blow on his
head with his bowls-knife, cutting his skull open.
The wounded man was carried to the medical col
lege, where he was, on Friday evening, in a dan

A Formidable Rebel Gunboat
The Now Orleans Picayune says
The bomb and ball.proof gunboat, now in way of
construction at Jefferson City by the Government,
under the superintendence of Mr. Tift, formerly of
Florida, will ho ono of the most effective aver de
vised for our river defence. It is 250 feet in
length, 50 feet beam, and flat-bottomed. Its shape
is a peculiar ono, and when driven with speed
against a wooden vessel, it is hoped it will open it
easily.
The bottom of this gunboat is twenty-two inches
thick, in solid planks, solidly bolted and milked,
and its walls two feet solid in thickness, with nu.
morons thick keelsons to brace it.
. .
The hold will be fourteen feet in depth; and on
its summit will be placed the battery, composed of
several heavy rifled and shell guns, all under case
mates.
Above this is a cupola, which wilL contain vari
ous conveniences, and be surmounted with another
battery and a shooting gallery for sharpshooters.
The vessel is to be strengthened by iron bolts
through and through, and bo plated over with three
inch iron. She will be drawn by three propellers
worked by powerful engines. Another such a gun
boat will immediately follow this ono. Near by is
another, just begun, still larger, which will combine
the breadth of the floating-battery with some of the
advantages of a self-propelled boat.
The Algerine News Boy, from which we clip alt
this information, says the Tuscarora, just burnt to
the water's edge, was the hest gunboat in our ear
vide, and a most superior propeller tugboat, with
very powerful machinery.
The gunboat Litiitigston will soon be ready for
service, and the alterations on the Gross Tete and
Lizzie Simmons era also rapidly progressing.
TWO CEN'T,S•
What Col. Dougherty saw while a Phi•
_
soner at Columbus.
Colonel Dougherty, who was wounded and cap
tured at the battle of Belmont, is now at Cairo,
and is rapidly recovering from his wounds. A cor
respondent of the New York Tribune says :
Yesterday I visited Colonel Dougherty, of the
Twenty-mond Illinois Regiment. He was taken
prisoner in the battle of Belmont, and has but re
cently been released, He was wounded by a Minie
Eall in the ankle, which made an ugly wound. He
was also shot through the right arm, and, in addi
tisn, a ball passed through his left lung, and lodged
in bin beak. Thief ball was eztraated a few days
ago, along with a piece og hickory ahirting, which
was used for patching. Col. Dougherty was in the
Mexican war; during it, he received several
wounds, and, on one occasion, a ball passed 1201"1-
zontall7 across and through his lip, cutting away
the projecting-part of the upper Tip. At the battle
of Charleston, last summer, he was seriously in
jured in a desperate hand-to-hand: encounter.
When he was carried to. Columbus he was almost
dying, having lain several hours bleedia; and
thirsty. During the night which followed, has leg
was out off three different times by unskilful sur
geons, and now he thinks, when he shall get
strength SO as to boar it, the bone must be cat ofi
again, that the trash may grow over it anti protectit, which' now it cannot well do. Ile fteernom a fair
way to recover, and he says he means to be in the
battle at Columbus, even if Ito goes on a gunboat as
a spectator. I told him I thought we would be too
quick for him. One would think this man to- look
desperate enough. He is a very quiet and softly
spoken man.
Full justice has not been done this. officer with
reference to the part he took in the battle of Del
mont. He, with his regiment, and eel. Denman,
Seventh lowa, met the enemy where he was-strong
est, and signally defeated blin.• It is to be-re
marked that, in these hurrying days, important
events succeed each other with rapidity, and that,
before one has time to bear well all that can be said
of one thing, the .attention is called to another
thing. The history of these times, included in
many volumes, alone can do our heroes justice.
Col. Dougherty related tome whet he saw during
his imprisonment at Columbus, and as he has milt
tary.experience, is a machinist by profession, and
a &plena° practical man, I think he would see
more abed, with ono eye shut, than many would.
with both eyes and walking about. Some things
which ho saw, he promised to their general he
would not reveal—of course ho did not speak of
them.
While he was yet weak and scarcely able tolalk,
tho rebel officers, came into his room. and told him;
how much the South had been injured by the North,
and how impossible it will be to minims them..
This ono after another repeated, with tittle-varia
tion, and so often that ho was sick of it, and it tired
him so much that he dreamed them saying the same
thing in his sleep. As regards their complaints of
the North, once ho believed it in part;. now, he
does not believe a word of it.
Ale was prescribed him as a drink; all that could
be found in the place was two dozen bottles of
Scotch ale. They complain that they can get no
more ale from Pittsburg, and that the blockade de
prives them of a thousand things they valued, which
they used to get frdm the North. Some Germans
are very upsuccossfully manufacturing ale in Mem
phis. But of nothing do they complain eo• much
ns that they have no salt, and the time isapproaeh
ing, if not already arrived, when they may exclaim,
"Give us salt, or we shall die." Of saltpetre they
are in great need, and they propose to manufacture
it, and only propose it. Col. Dougherty says they
fired off only one cannon while ho was there, and
that ho believed their powder will be exhausted in.
a two days' bombardment.
Since the battle of Belmont, Columbus has been
largely reinforced. The colonel's window was in
full view of the troops as they arrived. He says the
Arkansas and Tennessee troops looked tolerably
well, though by no means well uniformed; but he
saw regiment after regiment from Mississippi and•
Louisiana ,which were nothing more than mobs.
They had no equipments of any kind ; many were
barefooted, and most of them wore -blue blankets,
with boles cut for the arms and head, and they
were girded around the waist with ropes. They had
on trowsers—one could only guess whether they
bad vests and shirts. He thinks that by thistime
the most of them aro armed.
In conclusion, be says they seem to havelittle
confidence in themselves, and that when we sent
down a flag of trdce they were in a tremor, as if
they thought something dreadful was about tolap
pen to them. In short, he thought they believed
that their destruction is at hand
THE MISSISSIPPI FLEET.
Number and Character of the Gunboats—
' How the Expedition will Act.
[Correspondence of the New York Times.]
Sr. Louis, Friday, Dee. 13, 1831.
Perhaps no expedition—not even that sent along
the coast of the Southern States—has, during the
present war, been projected, or is so pregnant with
great results, as the one now preparing at St. Louis
and Cairo for a descent of the Mississippi. A moro
formidable fleet neverrode Americarrwaters ; nor
was there one ever started, on this continent which
bad before it a work so gigantio, or ono which, if
successful, could produce results sokomense—im
mouse in good to the Union, in evil to the disloyal.
The possession of Columbus and Memphis, which is
promised us by this undertaking, and the conse
quent bolding of the termini of some of the longest
DO most important railroads in the South—the
penetration into the very heart of the Secessionists,
with all the material and moral effects which will
naturally accompany . such a result—the possession
of the mighty Mississippi, the introduction of a loyal
element into such towns as Memphis and others,
given over to the Devil of Disunion—are among a
few of the results promised by the success of the
present undertaking :
At its last MAIM, in July Congress, it was- de
termined to authorize the construction of seven
gunboats, and contrasts for their building were in
vited. James B. Eads was the successful bidder,
and on the sth of August a contract was signed, in
which he agreed to build them forSB9,ooo each. By
the terms of the contraot,the boats were to be finished,
in sixty days ; in case they were not, there was
provided a forfeit of $2OO for each day they re—
mained beyond this time.
The contract also provided that the boats were
to be 175 feet in length, 51. feet 6 inches Deem, and
when loaded to draw 5 feet. Each was to have
two engines and five boilers, with five flues eaeli—
cylinders twenty-two inches, with six feet stroke ;
wheel, of wrought iron, to be placed near the
stern, like a ferry-boat, so as to bo as little ex
posed as possible. A small engine, to pump
water in the boiler ) was also to ha provided. All
the machinery was to be so placed as to be under
water ; the boats to have an average of 650. tons ;
to be flat-bottomed, and constructed of the heaviest
and beet oak timber; the aides covered with plate
of the best charcoal iron, two and a half inches in
thickness, and securely bolted together and to the
woodwork within. The aides were to incline inward
at an angle of about 45 degrees, so as to turn or
" glance off" a missile, the bottom to have thesame
inclination toward the keel. Each boat was to
carry fifteen guns—five 68-pound columbiads at
each side, three rifled guns at the bow, and two at
the stern. The guns and gunners were to be pro
tected by easenuites rising seven feet from the deck,
constructed of heavy timber, plated with iron.
This is, in the main, an outline of the boats as
contracted for, and as they now pre, except in the
case of the Benton, of which a more particular de
scription is given below.
Contractor Eads immediately went towel& with
the greatest alacrity, employed all the saw-mills
possible, and put all the men at work that the na
ture of things would permit.' Fire of the boats.
were built hero, threo at Mound City. Pour
more have since been added to the fleet that were
brought bore from the Ohio river.

were also contractedfor, and now are all completed

Tho flagship Benton was built outside of the Con
gressional appropriation, having been built by the
order of Maj. Gen. Fremont. The oontraotor, Mr.
Enda; was given almost a carte blanche relative to
her construction, and the result is that he has pro
duced one of the finest and most formidable speci
mens of naval architecture afloat. In general out
line she is like the rest, so that a particular de
scription of her, while it may prove interesting,
will servo to convey a good idea of the balanoo.
The Benton was formerly the United States snag
boat Tom Benton, subsequently Submarine No.
7, owned by Messrs. Eade & Nelson, and finally was
sold for $26,000 by the Wrecking Company to the
United States for the purpose of being metamor
phosed into a gunboat. The work was done by
Messrs. Moore & Daggett, of the St. Louis Dry
Dock Company, under the suporintendence of con
tractor Ends.
The Benton is 186 feet long on deck, and 75 feet
wide at the beam. 11cr hold is 81 feet deep, and
with armament and crew draws about 5 feet. She
has a double hull, with the wheels working in a re
cess near the stern. Her hull is of 4-inch plank,
and timbers Bby 10 inches. The hull is doubledby
5 fore-and-aft bulkheads and 13 cross bulkheads,
making in all 45 water-tight compartments. The
deck frame•beams are 10 inches square. The main
deck is planked with 41-inch plank. The forward
defence runs down to the 2-feet water-line, and is
of 24-inch timber, all sheathed with 21-inch iron
plating. The entire boat is sealed with 3 and 4-
inch oak plank, caulked and made perfectly tight.
Coscmates extend around the whole boat, and are
made of 12-inch timber. At the knuckle on the
main deck the timber is from 3to 4 feet in thiek
ness, solid.
The Benton is pierced for, and will carry 18
heavy guns, all of which are now aboard. Theguns
arc from 32-pounders to 42-pounders calibre, some
rifled and some smooth bore, and there are two
0-inch Dahlgren guns. The principal part of the
armament is disposed in the forward part of the
boat, there being two guns only at the stern.
The machinery, boilers, as., are all under the
deck. The cylinders are 20 inches in -diameter,
with seven feet stroke. There are four boilers, 24
feet long and 40 inches in diameter, double fitted.
The wheels are 20 feet in diameter, with nine
and a half feet bucket. The wheel house is pro
tected by timber from six to eight inches thickness,
and will be sheathed with heavy iron. The pilot
house is protected by 12-trtch oak timber placed at
an angle of about thirty degrees with the upper
deck, is conical in shape, and of very ingenious
construction. It will also be proteoted by a sheath
ing of heavy iron.
There are two magazines, one on each side, just
forward of the wheels. They aro each capable of
carrying one hundred rounds of ammunition for
every gun, and afford ample room for the nines
awry evolutions within them. The magazines can
be flooded with water in a moment, from the main
deck, and are furnished and arranged in a true
naval style.
The mortar-boats, thirty-eight in number, aro
built of heavy timberr—the sides of boiler-iron,
loop-holed for musketry, aro as arranged that they
can be used as bridges, and will each carry one of

„Flag Officer Foote holds- the same rank as-Mhy . m
General Halleali,- although his junior by date ofilibr
commission. Hach is entirely independent of the
other, but, as a matter of course, will co-operate in.
the proposed expedition.
The magnitude of the preparations-may, to some
extent, be inferred when; it is-known that the sale
rieirof the officers-reach. the amount of sso,ooojfei
month ; that 500,000 bushelsof coal have been. con
tracted for and delivered-at Cairo ; that clothingta
the amount of 810,000 has-been contracted foriand
is on its way hither; that 800 - tons of powder have •
been sent to Cairo, and other war material beyond
all computation.
The grade of officers, the gunners ; pilots; and alt
other classes necessary
i to • man the boats, are ar
ranged precisely as n the navy of the United
States: Tho number of men required-on each boat
cannot be given without affording information to
the enemy..
All of tho gunboats have gone to-Cairo, and all
the mortarboats except twelve, and they will, proba-,
My. be towed down today.
So confident are some of the navahofficera in the
strength of the gunboats, that several of them have
offered to take the Befitinvand lay. her under this
batteries- of Columbus. confident that her-immense
strength will resist the heaviest metal in the pos
session of the Confederates. The plates-upon the
gunboats wore submitted to severe teats, and evinced:
almost fabulous- invincibility. Heavy rifled ehota
were fired at them at a distance of only 160 yards,
and in every case they wore either only slightly
-indented or else they shivered the shots- into than- -
merable fragments, -or turned them harmlessly
aside.
Of course little is- known of the number of
the enemy, or the strength , or character of
the fortifications at Cclizonbus. In. feat, the dia
grams in a late issue of a Metropolitan daily, in
which are given the shape and character of the
works at Columbus, and tho very encampment and
number of the forces at that place, are universally
laughed at by military men here, who place no re=
Hance upon them whatever, and believe them to
have been gotten up in the same office at which
they were published.
It is, however, very generally believed that the
works at Columbus igeoaphis, and intermediate
points, are of great strength, and that they will be
defended with a Tiger and detertaination %nal to
their import-mace.- It is, however, thought- that
their guns are not as heavy as ours, while the su
perior skill of our gunners (most of whom are old
in the service) will be an element of immense im
portance in our favor.
It is very generally thought that the defenders
of Columbus are mostly of the younger classes—
the older and the more veteran soldiers being now
with the army on the Potomac. This inference ia
made from the reports of individuals who- have
lately come North, and also from the fact that,
during the visits of their flags of truce, there has
been a great deal of that bluster and braggadocio
which is never indulged in by a truly brave or a
tried foe.
There has been a good deal of talk concerning
Hollins' battering ram, whioh was to do such great
service at New Orleans in raising the national,
blockade, and which is now-supposed, to be at
Columbus. However formidable in theory, and is
the columns of Secession journals, the "ram" ex
cites no particular terror among our naval officers
here. As to the other fleet of gun and tugboats,
which are said to be at Columbus, there is con
siderable doubt. Most of the Now Orleans tug
boats draw from ten to twelve feet, and hence it is
an entire impossibility that they could, ever get np
as far as Columbus; hence, the story of the New
Orleans fleet having arrived at Columbus is, to say
the least, highly imprpbable. It wilt not be far
from the truth to put the entire force at Columbus
at from twenty to thirty-five thousand men; their
gunboats at three, and the balance of the fleet at a.
half dozen tugs and lesser steamers.
But, in speaking so particularly of Columbus, I
do not mean to state that the first blow will fall
there. It may be directed down the river ; it may
go up the Cumberland or the Tennessee. Its desti
nation is purely a matter of guesswork.
But when it does corns, there will be a day of
terrible reckoning for the sons of rebellion, who
now swagger and flaunt in treason-chained Mem
phis and Columbus. When fifty thousand bayonets
climb the heights in their rear—when the tremen
dous storm from two soon mortars and a dozen gun
boats pours its floods of fire and iron hail into their
midst—then, perhaps, will they be compelled to re
cognize the power which they have offended, and
expiate in blood their attempt to disintegrate this
once glorious Union. There is a storm gathering
here, and at Cairo, which will soon burst over the
strongholds of Secession. When its heavy thunders
shake the foundations of their earth, and its sheeted.
lightnings carry death and destruotion through their
land, they will, perhaps, acknowledge that there
"is a God in Israel?"—that flora is a Government
loft with power to crush out treason—that the strong
armed ( ( mudsills" of the North area match for the
swaggering, vaunting, " obivalmus" hordes of this
dastardly, unealled , for rebellion.
THE WAR IN MISSOURI.
The Recent Movement against the Rebels
in Central Missouri—General Pope's
Official Report.
HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT CENTRAL MISSOURI,
OTTERVILLE, Dec. 23, 1081.
CAPTAIN : I have the honor to state that, having
replaced by troops from Lamine the garrison of Se
dalia, I marched from that place on Sunday, the"
15th inst., with a column of infantry, cavalry, and
artillery, numbering about four thousand men. The
first brigade was commanded by Cal. J. C. Davis,
Indiana Volunteers; the second by Col. F. Steele,
Eighth lowa Regiment. The *Meet of the move
ment was to interpose between Price's army on the
Osage and the recruits, escort, and supplies on their
way south from the Missouri river. This body of
the enemy was represented to be between four and
six thousand strong, with a large train of supplies.
I encamped on the 15th eleven miles southwest
of Sedalia. That the enemy might bo thoroughly
misled as to the destination of the expedition, it was
given out that the movement was upon Warsaw,
and the troops pursued the road to that place seve
ral miles beyond Sedalia. I threw forward on
Clinton four companies of the First Missouri cavalry,
under Major Hubbard, with orders to watch any
movement from Osceola, to prevent any reconnois
sance of our main column, and to intercept any
messengers to the enemy at Osceola. On the 16th
I pushed forward by forced march twenty-seven
miles . , and with my whole force occupied, at sunset,
a position between the direct road from Warrens
burg to Clinton, and the road by Chilhowee, which
latter is the road heretofore pursued by returning
soldiers and by recruits. Shortly after sunset the
advance, consisting of four companies of lowa
cavalry, under Major Torrence, captured the
enemy's pickets at Chilhowee, and learned that he
was encamped in force (about twenty-two hundred)
six miles north of that town.
After resting the horses and men for a couple of
hours, I threw forward ten companies of cavalry
and a section of artillery, under Lieutenant Colonel
Brown, Seventh Missouri Regiment, in pursuit,
and followed with my whole force, posting the main
body between Warrensburg and Rose Hill, to sup
port the pursuing column.. I, at the same time, re
inforced Major Hubbard with two companies of
Merrill's Horse, and directed him, in order to secure
our flank in the pursuit, to pipsh forward as far tie
possible towards Osceola. This officer.exeented his
duty with distinguished ability and vigor, driving
back and capturing the pickets, and one entire
company of the enemy's cavalry, with tents, bag
gage, and wagons. One of the pickets and two
wagons were captured within the lines of Rains'
division, encamped north of the Osage river.
The column under Lieut. Col. Brown continued
the pursuit vigorously all night of the 16th, all day
of the 17th, and part of the night of the same day,
his advance guard consisting of Foster's company
of Ohio cavalry, and a detachment of thirty mon
of the Fourth regular cavalry, occupying Johns
town in the course of the night. The enemy began
toscatter as soon as the pursuit grew close, disap
pearing in every direction in the bushes, and by
every byelath, driving their wagons into farm
yards remote from the road, and throwing out their
loads. As these wagons wore all two•horse wagons
of the country, and had been in fact taken by force
from the farm houses, it was impassible to identify
them. When our pursuit reached Johnstown,
about midnight on the 17th, the enemy, reduced
to about 500, scattered completely, one portion
fleeing precipitately towards Butler, and the other
towards Papinsville
Tho main body of my command moved slowly
