THE WAR.
The war for the annihilation of the Southern Re
bellion is at last. being prosecuted with all the vigor,
judgment, and zeal flint the most earnest patriot
could desire. The campaign in the Southwest is al
ready developing itself, and bears evidences of being
even more brilliant than that of last winter, and
with results far more important. It may be safely
announced that the Mississippi is opened at last by
the fall of Vicksburg and the junction of the
army of General Ranks with that of Gen. Sherman.
This is a great end gained, and to render the naviga
tion of the river secure, and the occupation of the
west bank of the Mississippi complete, Gen. Scho
field is moving with rapid strides after the scattered
forces of the rebel Generals Hindman, Holmes, and
Marmaduke, in Arkansas. Uneasiness is felt con
cerning the Army of the Cumberland only, but we
opine that when *e shall publish the official reports
of Gen. Rosecrans, his victory at Murfreesboro and
vicinity..will be described' as one of the most
substantial and important of the war. A few
days since General Rosecrans was reorganizing
a large army composed of demoralized and fagged
out reginients in part,• and in part of troops of
the new' levies. The rebels were in better con
dition,-advancing upon and beleaguering his forti
fied base of operations and supplies at Nashville.
Now we find our general moving upon the enemy,
defeating him in battle, under huge difficulties and
adverse eirellinstances, He has dislodged him
seriatim from his numerous sTrongholds and chosen
positions. The presumption is reasonable that
Rosccrans will add fresh laurels to the wreath
which lie so nobly earned at luka and Corinth.
FEW misfortunes connected with the war have
created deeper and more wide-spread pain than the

Benjamin F. Butler.
The distinguished reception of Major
General BUTLER by the President and his
constitutional advisers, like his reception in
New York by the loyal people of that great
city, and like his parting from his compa
triot, Major General BA - Nks, at New Or
leans, will be . joyfully welcomed by the
earnest friend'sof the Government. Among
the most, if not the most, successful of all
the statesmen-soldiers of this war, General
BuTLEn has been bitterly and unscrupulously
assailed by the enemies of the war, as. Well
here as in Europe. The venom of the
London Times poured out upon him
freely was greeted with delight by the
organs of JEITERSOIi DAVIS, and imitated
and intensified by the organs of the, so-called
Democracy in the adhering States. :Even
grave European ministers did not hesitate to
assail him. The miserable parvenues of the
North—men who conceive it to be vulgar to
.be for the country, and aristocratic to be for
slavery—saw in BUTLER only an embodi
ment of progressive patriotism and daring
. genius,, arid : eagerly: repeated the lies and
libels of the triple influence of foreign
hatred, - Pro-slavery :treason, and Northern
'ingratitude. It 'was right, therefore,
that - the Great 'Government. so ably
:and so splendidly . represent4Piand sus-.
•
mined 'by, ',General - should UTLER, owl
him. But, With cheraCteristic prompitude
and he takes care of himself, and
makes 'up his - oWn record, as will be seen
by his Address to 'the People of NeW Or
leans before leaving for the North, pub
lirhed in TUE PRESS of this Morning. The
words below, taken from that great Ad
dress, are . especially opportune and pointed.
Coming from a Democrat of the ultra pre
slavery, school, they are worthy of the oh-
Servation of the men who still claim to be
long to the same school. But it is possible
that Generai,MOTLEß has been expelled the
Democratic party because he regards slavery
as incompatible with the existence of the
American Republic :
If you desire to leave to your children the inheri
tance you received of your fathers, a stable constitu
tional Government; if you desire that they should in
the future be a portion of the greatest empire the
sun ever shone upon, return to your allegiance.
There is but one thing that stands in the way.
There is but one thing that at this hour stands between
you and the Government, and that is slavery.
This institution, cursed of God, which• has taken
its last refuge here, in 'His providence will be rooted
out as the tares from the wheat, although the wheat
be torn up with it. • 10..
I have given much thought to this subject.
I came among you, by teachings, by habit of mind,
by political position, by social affinity, Inclined to
sustain your domestic laws, if by possibility they
might be with safety to the Union.
Months of experience and of observation have forced the
conviction that the existence of slavery is incompatible
with the safely either of yourselves or of the Union. As
the system has gradually grown to its present huge
dimensions, it were best if it could be gradually re
moved ; but it is better, far better, that it should be
taken out at once than that it should longer vitiate
the social, political, and family relations - of your
country. I am speaking with no philanthropic
views as regards the slave, but simply of the effect
of slavery on the master. See for yourselves.
Look around you and say whether this saddening,
deadening influence, has not all but destroyed the
very framework of your society.
The Battle of Murfreesboro.
While we have reason to be pleased at
the very full accounts of the great battle at
Murfreesboro, sent directly to THE *PRESS,
by telegraph, from the field; even at the cost
of great exertions and expense, we ap sorry
to hear that our special despatches of yester
day are detained. We had hoped to lay before
our readers a more detailed account of the
affair this-morning, but learn that telegraphic
communication between Nashville: and
Louisville has been' interrupted by the late
storm since Saturday morning. There is no
reason whatever to think that our arms have
met with a digitate!! and it is quite probable
that our losses are much less than at present
announced. The New York Herald , of yes
terdpy, however, thus perverts the language
of a despatch sent In the Associated Press:
"There was henry cannonading today until
noon; when the ).• bebi attacked our left wing, and iae
Were terribly rcpcbcd .11
A. copy of Vle or:ginal despatch appears
in our news' Cblumns this morning. - , This
" comparison is odious."
Recognition of Italy.
In politics, nothing is so uncertain as un
certainty. We dare say that Victor Em
manuel considers himself King of Italy,
de facto, if not de jure; by right of the
strong hand and in virtue of public elec
tion. The Almanach de Gotha tells us
that he has been- acknowledged as King
of Italy, 1 by Great Britain, - France,
Switzerland, Greece, Turkey, Rolland,
Belgium, Sweden and Norway, Turkey,
Portugal, Denmark, Russia and Prussia—
also by the United States, Hayti, Vene
zuela, _Uruguay, Brazil, Mexico, Peru,
and New Granada. On the other hand,
She is acknowledged as King of Sardinia
only, by the Pope, Spain, Austria, and the
4German confederation, with the exception
of Prussia. Victor Emmanuel, we suspect,.
;can manage to rub on pretty comfortably,
without any endorsement from Austria and
'Company.
There is one Power, however, not named in
theAtniiznach de Gotha, which firmly declines
accepting the Italian sovereignty of Victor
Emmanuel, namely, the Atmartach de Gotha
itself. Few of our readers, we dare say,
have ever seen this publication, which is as
much Marshal of Europe in recognition, re
ception, and etiquette as Mr; Hoover was in
the time of President Pierce, or as Mr.
Lamon is in the time of PresidentLincOn.
The Gotha oracle knows "who's Who ", all
over the world, and -the precise lilac& he
owed to occupy in the great procession of
rank and power. The Almanach de Goth
for 1864 (a copy of which we have received
from Mr. F. Lcypoldt, foreign bookseller,
Chestnut street), with all its powelys, as re
gards size, a mere Tom Thutrib among
books. It is verr_ small fir its age,
the new volume of this tiny aanuaire
being the hundredth of the series. A pub
lication which has been regularly published,
every year throughout a century, is- a pa
triarch among Almanacs. Its present pub
lishers, after great search, - have been unable
to make up an entire set. They do not .pos
sess the three commencing annual • volumßs .
of the :work, which contained only, a few
pages at first, had extended to 296 pages in
1816-34; 440 pages In 1856; and, for 1864,
contains 1,672 pages. The reader need not
be alarmcd-7-for the volume Measures about
by 2 inches, and is inches thick. -It is,
a fat, chubby affair—rather a booklet than
a book. Diminutive as it is, the Almanach.
de Gotha is authority, in Eprope, respecting
imperial and regal status and consideration..
Published at Gotha, by Justus Perthea,
whose name is not unknown to book-mon,
this squat, stout, little volmne is a power,
in its way. The entire population of :the
Duchies of Gotha and Cobourg is only
159,000—about the number of inhabitants •in
'Cincinnati, and less than one-third of the
population of Philadelphia, while its whole
superficial area is exceeded by that of seve•-
ral counties in Peimsylvauiti.• .Never
theless, for a very long period, the Alma
nach de Gotha has been accepted alllhrough:
Europe as authority upon the condition i bf
sovereignties and powers. - 2•:!" * •
In its genealogical department ; r 1864, it
devotes. special space to "..Itiny," stating ,
that Victor Emmanuel is its -King; and giving
his family eonneetionMs usual. But it does
precisely the same , for the Kingdom of the
Two Sicilies, giving the genealogical rela
tions of the' deposed and banished King
Francise. of Naples; and continuing,' in the
sameinanner, to separate the Roinan States,
Modena (now voluntarily under the sceptre
of Victor Emmanuel), from the KingdoM of
Italy, of which, by election and by conquest,
he is sovereign. In the diplomatic and sta
tistical part of the Alinanack this . is con
tinued, - with a curious effect; inasmuch• as
while the exiled rulers of Naples and the
Italian Dtichies are put forward as the de
jure ; or "legitimate" sovereigns, the officeri
.named as respectively acting for and in the
Goyepunent of these plades are all, the nomi
nees and servants of Victor Emmanuel.
There is great significance in the Alma
nach de Gotha thuS 'persisting in continued
recognition of a quartette of imbecile or:tp
mimic prindes, as kuleri.of lands which con
temptuously spurned .them from, the soil
their Misgovernment had saddened and out- ;
raged. Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha is under the spe
cific control of Austria, which claims to be
head of the Gcrmahic confederation.., Many
of the States comprised in this union have
consular relations with Victor Emmanuel,
although not fully acknowledging him as
King of laly. ' Austria, Bavaria, Wurtem;
berg, and the two Mecklenbourg duchies,
have no diploMatic. relations whatever with .
Victor Emmanuel, neither, we belioe, has
the • petty Duchy of Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha.
, The influence, if not the authority, Of. Aus
tria must have prompted or demanded' that
the famous Almanac,' whose deaision settles
all doubtful points, should not fully acknow
ledge the Italian sovereignty of which Victor
Emmanuens'head. .The tyrant of Naples
and his colludes in exile,. the Italian Grand
Dukes, evidently arc held in" the Austrian
Emperor's band, as court-cards to be played
.for the stake of empire; if ever an 'opportu—
nity shOUld occur. These European scions
of - royalty, who look up : on kingdoms and
peoples as their entailed family prOperty i
cling, with 'wondrous tenacity, to even
the shadow of any foriner possession. For
example : one 'European monarch still 're
tains the title of " King of Jerusalem,"
which Godfrey of Bouillon won . in the cru
sades ; and even England, though she lost
her last foot of French territory by the
sale and surrender of Dunkirk, in the year
1662 5 called .George the Third "King of
Great. , Britain;:Prance, - and Ireland," gown
to 1801; . When another style was commenced,
on the completion 'of ,the parchment Union
between Great Britain and Ireland. Aus
tria, we suspect, looks for the recovery of
Lombardy,• just as the Italian princes hope
to return to Na,pleS; Florence, Parnia, and
Modena.
Extension of Philadelphian Trade.
A project, four years• ago submitted to
the commercial, manufacturing, and trading
interests of this city, by Captain HENBY
RANDALLi for establishing a line of steam-_
ships between Philadelphia, Liverpool, and
California, which has twice been chartered by
our State Legislature, can be brought into ope
ration, at this time, better than at any other.
It gives us pleasnic to know that the idea
will be immediately carried out, under the
personal superintendence of Captain RAN
DALL, who deserves to be commodore of the
.fleet—consisting :Of far vessels in the Li
verpool and five in the California trade.
His improvements in the
.construction :of
swift and sure steamships, originally deve
loped on the lakes; were severely and suc
cessfully tested in various voyages round
Cape Hem, when Captain RANDALL was in
the California line. To save four or five
days in the voyage to Europe would. be a
great matter and Captain RANDALL believes
that: a steamer built on . his tried plan, to
which improvements would now be added,:
this can be done—to the increase of tra
vellers' comfort, diminution of:the ship's ex
penses, and profit of the . owners. When
passengers • and freight can be Conveyed
togetber;• at economical rates; the line which
does it must become the most popular.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
largely taken stock in - the new line. Mer-
Chants, bankers, and other business , men
have also • subscribed.; • but if Philadelphia
knew her own interest, the necessary capi
tal would be raised within a week. Our
expansion as the leading manufacturing city
of the Union, as well as our admirably cen
tral position,• is building up Philadelphia.in
a remarkable manner. At .present,
chasers of our manufactures, either for home,
use or for export, continue in, the old , jog
trot way of purchasing Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania products in New York, in
stead of coming here, and saving from
seven to ten per cent. on their outlay.. .This
folly is abating. • • .
Purthasers who come Philadelphia
will realize great advantages thereby. We
are. map,ufacturiug . largely for a clasi of.
Middle-mm.ln: New York who grow rich
on the profits of their sales to purchasers
who keep in the old routine of not coming
here to the fountain head, and probably
doubling their own profits by doing so. The
railroad accommodation from this city is
very 'good, and is improving. all around on
the various lines. A reliable and direct
steam communication • from this port to ,
Europe and California has long been needed,
and, if now supplied in a liberal and effective
manner, will be of infinite advantage, not•
only to this city and this State, but to the
commercial world at large. It ought to be
. a gala day in Philadelphia in the coming
spring, when the first of the • Randall
steamers shall dash down the Delaware
with a full cargo and •her full number of
_passengers.
Al( OFFICER and fifteen seamen from the British
gunboat Penguin, having landed on the 'coast of
Arabia by invitation from the natives, in order to
procure provisions, were barbarously murdered.
Seventy of the natives, who were principally con
cerned in the murders, had been captured, and were
to be hung.

the Federal authorities. They. may deny
the accusation that they are hi aver of,

accusation is a .calumny ; but the men .at

now, as they have been for' two or three
years. past, in concert and correspondence
with - the traitors who . have not only
violated it, Abut have erected amithet
" Constitution " in its stead; They' affect
horror at the recent action of the President
in approving certain necessary war measures,
but they have never . given him their support
of an hour since,:he *as inaugurated. They
live in an atmosphere of falsehoods so dense
that it is amazing that their own followers
have not, long ago, detected and denounced
them. For instance,- they charge that the
Abolitignists and Republicans provoked or
began the War, when, in a thousand ways,
.14e Southern rebels have admitted and
boasted that they not only commenced, but
desired the war. Upon this premium fa'
brication, thou - mends of honest persons are
still deceived. Addressing the interests which
they think they can successfully delude,
and exultant- because of elections secured
by the absence of loyal majorities. on the
field of battle, they 'renew their cry for
peace; and their old: theory that the Union
can never be restored by war ; and hence
they insist upon an armistice; 'to give both
sides a chance for repose, reflection, and
arrangement.. One of their surface=schemes
is to call a National --Convention, .in which
" the Constitution is to be : amended; and the

have become popular, the unpleasant fact
will hideously remain, and indubitably'
appear, that the first, great, and only
object of the Democratic 'leaders is
to "dissolve the Union." They are too .
well . acquainted : with the rebel schedule
(for I think W.:Win soon be evident
that many of them have been in regular
correspondence with the open traitors) not
to know that the only basis upon which we.
can have peace with the rebels in a peace

which is, of course, a dissolution of the
Union. For this - the 'rebels are fighting;

and fixes their nerves to persevere until this
is - granted. I leave out of view the com
paratively minor questions whether we can
have a lasting peace, save by armed con
quest of either side, that will not leaq to
another - and 'a longer war ; whether the
Border: States would consent to a peace that
left them at the mercy of the assassins of

object before the people, viz : Thatthe De
9nocratic leaders are now preparing for a dis
solution of the American, Union. If they
can secure the support of, the people they
will accomplish it ; and this they confidently
expect if they are permitted to weaken the
Government, to demoralize the army, and
to divide the loyal masses. It may be too
late to avert the. catastrophe ..even now ; but

On Friday a large detachment of rebel cavalry,
commanded by Major Ilynntico, made a dash into
Dumfries, and captured some public stores and tea
sutlers' wagons, for the greater. part belonging to
Maine and New York regiments. Two drivers only
escaped by cutting the traces and riding oil' on their

were accomplished with extraordinary expedition.
Serenade to General Dialer.
Major General BUTTAIi, to-night, in response to
repeated calls from a large crowd of persons for a
speech, appeared in front of the - hotel at which he
is stopping, and addressed them to the following
effect :
. .
FELLOW.COUNTIVFX - EN : This is no time for making
speeches. No higher compliment can be paid to a
public servant than to receive the commendation of
those who have a right to his services ; and, for this
most cordial greeting and manifestation of your re-
gards, accept my heartfelt thanks.
He then withdrew. The crowd were evidently
much disappointed, having waited for several hours
for his return from Governor SEWARD'S residence.
Tile Porter Court Martial.
Before - the Court Martial of General Porter,
Lieut. James Stephenson, of the 13th New York
Volunteers, was examined respecting the state of
affairs on' the 29th of August last, during that day's
battle. He had been a carrier of the mail between
Pope's army and Porter's corps, and had passed
over the same roads which General Porter must
have taken in order to bear down on Jackson's
right.
These, - he said, were thronged with the enemy
directly in front of Porter's corps, and other parts
of-the roads were thickly flooded and obstructed by
ravines, so as to render the massing of infantry and
artillery imp4sslb/e. He had approached so near

serve their movements, and had estimated their
strength at from 12,000 to 15,000 men. They were
drawn up to the north of the Manassris railway, on
the same side with Porter's corps.
General Porter, beine unable to procure other
testimony to-day, presented a correspondence, re
lating to the Virginia campaign, between the vari
ous heads of the army, which was considered by the
court in secret session. On the reopening of the
eourt, it was suggested that, as the several witnesses
implied in the correspondence could not be obtained,
the court should adjourn. The court was accordingly
adjourned. _
Mailable Matter.
POST OPPICE DEPARTMENT,
APPOINTMENT 01 , 110 E, Tan. 3, 1863.
Many poitmasters persist in sending through .the
mails packages of clothing, boots, &c., charging
thereon only one cent an ounce postage. This is .a pal
liable violation of the law and regulations with which
every postmaster should be acquainted. The pack
ages are held for the legal postage at the distributing
office or offices of delivery, accumulating to such an
extent as to be greatly annoying to those offices, and
in a large majority of cases never reach the parties
addressed, thus causing a loss to the parties sending.
The law and regulations clearly define what is Mail
able matter, and prescribe what amount of postage is
to be Charged thereon; and further provide that all
Other matters or things, if Sent by Mail, are subject .
to letter postage.
- . .
To preVent further loss to parties interested, and
the improper interruption of business at the large
offices, aIL postmasters are required to make them
selves fully acquainted with the laws and regula- -
tions relating to the postal service, and the mailing
of packages hereafter of the character referred to
by any postmaster, without the proper postage being

On Saturday, the 27th ultimo, General Sherman
debarked his forces on the left bank of the Yazoo
river, ten miles frian its mouth, and, forming in line
of battle, advanced toward Vicksburg.
After passing beyond the range of our gunboats
our troops encountered the enemy, who awaited
them in force.
A terrible conflict ensued, which lasted for five
hours.
The mercy was driven - back by our shell beyond
the baybus that girt the rear of Vicksburg, and - from
their entrenched works, which were stationed on a
hill.
On Saturday night the two armies lay on their
arms, two bayous intervening between the '•hostile
forces.

men by the enemy under the cover of undergrowth.
At daylight on Sunday a concerted advance was
made by General Sherman's entire force-eneral
Steel commanded the left wing; Generals Morgan
and Blair the centre, and Generals A. L:•and BR: L.

division, which had been separated by the swamps
running at right angles to the 'main front.
By sunrise the whole force was lengaged; and, up

NEw YORK, Jan. - 3.—Despatches received here
state that the Anderson Cavalry were drawn into
an ambuscade, where it met with serious losses,
including the death of Majors Rosengarten and
Ward.
The news of the death of this accomplished young
officer has been received with unusual sorrow by
.the many friends who knew his rare•virtues, as
well as by the community at large. The-particu
lars of this sad event have not yet been received;
we only know that he was killed at the head of his
command, the celebrated Anderson Cavalry, every .
Jean of whom regarded' him' with pride and affec
tion, in the recent terrible battle near Murfreesboro,
Tennessee.
• Major Adolph Rosengarten 'was a son of George
D. Ilosengarten, Esq., of this city; and a younger
brother of Lieut. Joseph G. Resengarten, who be
•haVed so handsomely in the , late battle before
Fredericksburg. Though quite young, he was, we
believe, a partner in his father's house, anil had re
ceived a thorough education in chemistry during an
absence of several years in Europe. He was con
nected with the Commonwealth Artillery Company
at one time, and subsequently was actively identi
fy:A, with the artillery company formerly coin
: mandEti by ;Colonel Chapman Biddle. After some
months spent in strict attention to, military
drill, he determined i 0 go into active 'service.
Surrounded by every luxury, but disdaining the ad
vantages which his position at home afforded him,
to secure at the outset n commission, (for which he
was abundantly qualified); he preferred to enter the
service 'of his country as a private, and to let his
merit alone be the test of his future preferment. Ac
cordingly, at the time of the formation of the origi
nal Anderson Troop, he joined that company In the
summer of 1861. Before he troop left Carlisle bar
racks he was made orderly sergeant. The troop was
soon ordsred West, and performed good service as the
body-guard of General Buell. Their discipline and
efficiency were such as to merit the special praise of
the commanding general. After this troop had
been well tested, • Sergeant Rosengarten was s&
lected for' promotion. As he was unwilling - to
leaVe his comrades, he :was appointed a second
lieutenant in a regiment of Kentucky cavalry,
and assigned to duty with his old company.
Subsequently he was, for some time, in command of
• the company, the senior officers being abient. When
the Company was increased to a regiment, Lieute
nant llosengarten was appointed senior major, and
his promotion gave unbounded satisfaction. At the
battle near Murfreesboro, he was in command of the
regiment. As an officer Major Rosengarten pos
sessed unusual abilities. Thorough in everything
he • undertook, he was especially thorough in his
Military acquirements. Though kind, he was a firm
disciOnarian, and met with the more ready. obe- •
dence because his men knew that he di9 not expect
them to do their duty more faithfully than he did •
• 'his: His place, we fear, it will bsi - Elifficult to fill
With one , inspiring so entiyely.the*pect and real

It is more than probable that the missing boat from
the steamer Rhode Island, with more or less of the
Monitor's crew, was saved by passing vessels.
[The "Monitor" was on her way to open one of
the Southern ports. She had preceded an expedition
under General Naglee, which sailed from Hampton
Roads on the Ist of January. The Monitor was
known to be unseaworthy under heavy weather.
Her. turret leaked considerably; but, in the hope of
good weather, she proceeded under convoy for a
point on the Southern coast. The storm which she
eneount4ted off the stormybanks of Hatteras proved
too much for her, and she sank to the bottom of the
sea, an everlasting iron monument to the memory of
the greatest discovery of the age in naval warfare.
We append a minute description of the vessel.—Do'
Pußss.]
DESCRIPTION OP THE MONITOR.
The Monitor was built at the Continental Iron
Works, at Greenpoint, from plans furnished in every
detail by Captain John Ericsson, and was launched
in one hundred days from the time her keel was laid.
She sailed from 'New York on the 6th of Blaroh,
1862, and arrived at Hampton Roads on the evening
of the Bth: The next morning she engaged the Mer
rimac, and after a severe fight, lasting over four
hours, she drove the rebel, wounded, back to her se
cure abode.
The following are the dimensions of the vessel :

Depth of lower vessel
Diameter of turret, interior.., ' 20
Height of turret ' . 9
Diameter of pilot-house 6
Height above deck 6
For a general description we say that she was a
long, wide, flat-bottomed vessel, with vertical sides
and pointed ends, of very light draught of water,
though loaded with impregnable armor on her sides,
and a bomb-proof deck, on which was placed a shot
proof revolving turret, which contained two 11-inch
guns. She was so low in the water as to afford no
target for the enemy, and everything and everybody
below the water-line, with the exception of the per
sons who worked the guns in the turret. The hull
was constructed-with plate iron half an inch thick,
outside of which was attached solid white-oak,
twenty-six inches thick, and again outside of the
wood was rolled iron armor, five inches thick.. The
bomb-proof deck was supported by heavily braced
oak beams, upon which - was laid planking seven
inches thicl:, covered with rolled iron one inch thick.
The turret-was constructed of a rolled plate iron
• skeleton one inch thick, to which were riveted two
thicknesses of one inch each rolled plates. Otitside
of this again were six plates of rolled iron, all firmly
bolted together with-rivets inside, so that if a plate
should become looseit could be tightened again. The
top was covered with a bomb-proof roof, perforated
with air holes. The gun-carriages were of wrought
iron. • The ports through the side of the turret were
only large enough to permit the muzzle of the gun
to be run through: Inside were wrought iron pendu
lums which .closed -.them against the enemy as
soon as the gun recoiled: The turret revolved by
means of auxiliary engines.'
The lower vessel was of iron, one-half inch thick,
and made 'in the usual manner. She carried her
machinery, coal, &c., aft, and the officers' quarters,
stores, and ammunition were placed forward: The
two partitions of the vessels were separated by
wrought-iron bulkheads. The officers' rooms were
large and quite comfortable, the light being obtained
by means of dead lights in the deck.
The ventilation was produced by a powerful cur
rent of. air from the blowers, carried under the berth
deck, ivith'registers opening into each room, through
which the cool, fresh air drawn from the atmosphere
entered.
Her machinery consisted of two horizontal tubular
boilerti,. containing three thousand square feet of
tire' surface, and two horizontal condensing en
gineEi, with cylinders of forty inches diameter and
twenty-two inches stroke of piston. • The propeller
was four-bladed, with nine feet diameter and sixteen
feet pitch.

comedy, "No Rest for the Wicked," in which all of
her excellent company will appear, assisted by the
regular attaches of the Walnut. The well-merited
success which has attended the representations at
this theatre during the past week, and the ability of
each•actor, are sufficient guarantees of the success of
the new comedy.
Ancif-s•ritEET n.A•rn E.—The two well-known
artists, Mr. and Miss Richings, enter upon an en
gagement at this theatre this evening. "The Daugh

produced, for the first time in this city. •
CitEsTxt;T-sTninrr Timarnx.—Th's new edifice is
rapidly approaching completion, and it is the inters_
tion ofthe lessee to give the opening performance on
the Ist of next month. The interior arrangements
are of the first order, and we'understand that every
thing has been done to make this a superior place of
amusement, both in its comforts and decorations.

say that Oa Dickey's cavalry utterly destroyed the

THE New York Chamber of Commerce yesterday
held a meeting in reference to the pirate Alabama,
and unanimously adopted a report, the conclusions
of which are as follows :
2d. That without such foreign %aid the States in
revolt against the Government of the United States
would be powerless to erect any injury to our com
merce on the high seas.
3d. That this war upon American commerce Car
ried on by ships built and manned in Great Britain,
is not rebuked by the British press generally ; is not
discouraged by the public sentiment of a once
friendly nation claiming to be governed by high and
honorable principles, and is not effectively and
thoroughly arrested by the strong will and stronger
arm of the British Government.
4th. That as a result of the foregoing facts and
conclusions, the merchants of the United States
are subjected, i n a certain degree, to the evils that would
attend a slate of war with Great Britain, and are com
pelled to witness the carrying trade of their country
triintferred from their own' vessels to British bot
toms, under all the sanctions and advantages of
peace and neutrality to the latter, while the source of
this great peril, threatening to drive American com
merce from the ocean, is of British•origin. Now,
therefore,
Resolved, That a committee of ten be appointed,
to take into consideration the foregoing, and to re
port, at a special meeting to be called for the pur
pose, what action it becomes this Chamber to take in
the premises.

incidents of sufficient pith and moment to grace an

equal to the bloody field of Waterloo or of Mara
thon, and frequent moves of State, either of which
would mark an entire Administration, let us not
forget: that the best, the most elegant, and the most
comfortable garments extant, are those that are
made at the Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Rock
