The New York Tribune. This paper, which the enemies of liberty have said was going down, accomplished its twenty-first year on Thursday, and it' took Occasion to make Soma allusion to the rarioas teporte respecting it, and to state its circula tion. It says: IL ►Y At CO., 65 Wood et UE=MaA ' The eireulotion of tho Triz.,,,,at this time is as follows: Daily Tribune Semi-Weekly Weekly Total "221,750 We believe this exceeds by fully Fifty if not One Hundred Thousand the aggregate circu lation of any other newspaper in America or in the world. And though our advertising Is not nearly so large as this ciretilation—es pecially in view of its character—should com mand, while the expenses of telegraphing and •correspondence are in these War times enor mous, it will gratify some friends to know that our income suffices to cover' those expen ses and leave a balance on the right, side. We have no fear — that it will henceforth be otherwise. And so, with grateful acknowl edgments to our many generous well-wishers, we drop-egotism had return to our final labors. With respect to a change of editors, it says: The Tribune has never changed editors, but ill to-day conducted by the person who pro jected and Int issued: it anal:iris' ever "been known as the editor; Aid he has never yet received the first intimation from his fellow nroprieters that. they either desired to die- Pause with his seivients, to overrule his con victions, or to induce him to modify bis in -coleations. ' Mr. Charles A. Dana—who till recently had been for some years connected with this .paper,—bas resigned the positiorr he last held oa it, for reasons satisfactory to himself, and with which the public has no concern ; and he still enjoy/ the respect and esteem of its edi tor, and till hii associates; Not is' there any material discrepancy between his convictions • respecting. "Abolitionism" and those which have hitherto controlled, and still control, the conduct of the Tribune. l Mr. GintExer farther pays : We never had a doubt thatit is more profit= Ala to advocate and apoligize for ;Slavery, or any other great wrong out of_which money is made, than to oppose it. We have advocated the Temperance, Anti-Slavery, and other groat Reforms, with a perfect cOMICiOI2IIDOIS that our pecuniary interest did and must suf fer thereby. But the Trilni . me doer pay, not because of its Anti-Slavery convictions, butin spite of them—bas always pild, and is paying to=day. It is quite true that, for a time after the first paralysis of business created by the O ti B veholders' Rebellion, it made no money, • its_prolits are still very moderate in pre 'on to the capital required by and em risked in its publication.; but it has alwayel paid every creditor and employee a hundred 'cents on the dollar, is doing so - to-day, owes as debts, owns Its own triachinery,_and has a fair balance with its banker. And, so long as BS patrons shall enable it to live,-it will re= suit s to the extent of its posier, all compro. mines and "reconstruction*" by which those now waging deadly war against the Ameri can- Republic shall become once more, the con trotters and :mastoid of that Republic and its destinies.

As we expected, the London papers are wonderfully. interested in the exploits of the -Merrimac, Merrimac, and of the Monitor. All the papers are discussing the questions relating to an Iron Clad Navy. The Lon don Times says: The first of these is one of the most in ter resting incidents that have marked the war. For the first time the newest applications of science have been tested in a fight be tween foes of equal courgo. Who would have thought it possible that after England and Franco had theorized so long on iron plated and iron rimmed vessels the firstreat trial should be made by the inhabitants of the peaceful New World met in -unnatural strife, and, furthermore, that victory should rest with theparty less versed in naval tac tics and constructton * • Those who object to iron sides that they : ace-not-invulnerable, inastuuchas, however strong the ship may be, cannon can-becon strncted powerful enough to pierce it, must, we think, abandon their too captious crit icism. We see in the Merrimac that a ves sel can he made practically invulnerable even to the heavy naval guns which are at present in use. Nothing now remains lbr our Admiralty bin'to discontinue the build ing of wooden vessels, and to convert all that will bear it into machines of war re sembling the Confedentte frigate. The only real opponent which the Merrimac found was another iron-plated frigate, and had it not been for this vessel, it is possible that the 'Merrimac might - have destroyed the whole Federal squadron. • • Facts like these may well induce us to reflect. We find that a wooden vessel when matched against an iron one is literally as helpless as was predicted. The Merrimac did actually knock the Cumberland "into matches," and in a very few minutes; but when she was encountered by a ship of her own class an action'. of five hours -etisued with no great damage to either side. Yet, we cannot imagine that either of these ves sels makes any approach in strength or power to the frigates we have built on this side of the Atlantic. The Monitor was to be finished in one hundred days, and at a cost.of leas than .1:60,10.1, while the urgent needs of the confederates forbid us to be lieve that any. great amount of time or Money can have been expended on the Mer rimac. Nevertheless, these extemporized inansides are sufficient to give a character to the whole war, and, if-they had not nen : tralized each other, either. of them would probably have given a geed account. of an entire squadron of the enemy. What a sailing ship is ton steamer an ordinary steamer is tb an iron-clad 'frigate. It will be remembered that the Americans were .slow to recognize the new principle, and most reluctant to adopt it; but when the time for action arrived necessity made itself felt, and they have now given the theory all the practical confirmation needed. The London Post, the Government organ Now for the first time have been tested the qualities of steel-clad men-of-war; now for the first time has the old wooden ship, with her sides bristling with cannon, en tered the lista with an adversary not car rying a third of the number of guns, but with her sides encased in an almost impen etrable armor; now for the first time has a vessel, without theslightest risk to herself, attempted, and attempted, successfully, to. run down an opponent with immense iron tusks which project beneath her prow. How many doubts,so anxiously expressed whilst the Warrior and the Defense were yet in course of construction, have now been finally solved? How many difficulties ad. vanced by those who viewed with •regret our wooden bulwarks superseded have now been ,disposed of? The recentengagement between the Merrimac and the (...Ntruberland and Congress, in American waters, what. ever' effeetit may possibly exercise upon the future course of hostilities there, has at least proved that on the high seas no mari time Power deairoue - of holding -its own can :any /ongfr rely upon wooden ships, however heavily' armed they may he. The heaviest armament which - eould be placed on board a ship-of-the-linewonld only serve to sink her all the quicker when o huge hole had been - made in her side by collision with one. of ilie.pe iron-clad frigates. It will be use long any longer to theorize upon this mat ter; we have now- before us patent facts which cannot be disregarded.

But it is obvious that, in order to maintain this position, he must do some thing to prove he is fit: for hie position as a military Chief. If he dbes not, the politi cians'and circumstances will be tOo many for him, and, although tho American people are now astonishing the world by the dis play of tractability, submissiveness and do cility beyond example, it may be safely pre toted, unless be speedily achieves some signal .success by the troops under his di rect personal command, he is not likely to retain the confidence and support of the nation. Deputations will soon' be set to work upon him, aid the Young Napoleon Will be among the mumber of undeveloped celebrities. But Gen. McClellan can never Ides the credit of having, taken the Vol unteer-masses In iliand and formed. them into an army, of inspiring:them with confi dence, and instilling into. them the princi ples of soldierly life and discipline; and, whatever comes, he has earned and deserv ed, whether he gets it or not, the praise and gratitude of his fellow -countrymen for do: ing that which, 'to ; he fully understood in ell its magnitude, ought to be witnessed by one who beheld ashington in We last week Of duly, and who eau now ride through its Streets or visit thd camps on the Potomac. Much is due to the. zeal of the men who started out of theclouds and darknessthat rested ou the land after the battle of Man :lasses. Senators -like Baker and Wilson raised regiments, drilled them, and march ed then, into the field, and the Puritan spirit of New England gave a vigorous earnestness of purpose to the work of war which has fretted and chafed against the restraints of pXudence or the sugges lions of military knowledge. The Beige of Yorktown. If we can believe the reports telegraphed from Washington, MeCLst.Last has a larger force and more formidable intrenahments to overcome at Yorktown than at Manassas. Seventy to a hundred thousand men, and five hundred seige guns, is a bigger tale than was ever told about Mammas, and it was thought to be wrong to precipitate our men upon the fOrmidable intrencbments and masked batte ries at the latter place. There- was one ad vantage, however, at Manassas, which is not to be had at Yorkturn—that is, Ma-assas Is a wide plain, twenty miles in extent, and any intrenehments could bo turned ; but at York the enemy's flanks are protected by the and James rivers. think those reports are greatly exagger just as .they were shunt the enemy's 'oes at Manastuut. We do nut believe there ve foriy thousand rebel troops there, or the fourth of five hundred snip gnus. With the command of both rivers, by gunboats, and the imatenee army a , ridiir facCLat.l..ta, the rebel chief hl.toaumta and bin army. ought to be bagged, as COHN W LLIS was bagged by WAS g ist:VMS . The New York World thinks the great bat tle in the east might as well be fought at Yorktown as any where else. It says: Xt Yorktown, Gen. McClellan is near the source of his supplies. No part of his force needs to be employed in keeping open the imiunionicationt and protecting his rear.• Illeaseer the dscieire engage...7d might hues onOurred; he would hoc, found it taermiory to Ina, hit fei s ty orviast ietrereehneeeta ; and it is probably fortunate Gust the main resistance has to be encountered at the outset rather than in the heart of the enemy's country. It Pei - irk:able that the tall of Yorktown will in state that of Richmond and Norfolk without further severe fighting. The tame argument could have been used for fighting at Manassas. The intrenehments were not so formidable, the roads were no cone, the supplies were as near, and the army IThe New York Tess seems a little inclined to growl.

A Sublime Scene The following Lira graphic description of the gunboat Pittsburgh running the blockade at Island No. 10. NLeR Istaxe No. 10, April 7, 1862. Last night was ono of fearful anxiety to all on board the fleet. The succors of the Caron dolet. in running the blockade on Friday night bed convinced the Commodore of the propri ety of attempting it once more. Upon this occasion, the Pittsburgh, Capt. Thompson, was chorea. Late in the afternoon she coaled, and after dark commenced her. preparations for the eventful and harardeas voyage. The night was most auepleious, and by a'singular coincidence similiar in character to that upon which the Carundolet wont through. About midnight the moon went down.into a dark bank of clouds. Distantilashosl.llso/1 the hor izon, and the low rumble of thunder, propho cied the advent of another storm. The clouds piled heavier and heavier, and about half past one it commenced. raining. At two o'clock, the Pittsburgh hauled out in the stream,overy light extinguished, ports closed, and haring in tow two barges of hay and one of coal, which served as an excellent protection/ 0 her exposed broadaides. I watched her as she floated by us, risible only!,r a minute, seem ingly like come black phantom of the night. The next minute eke had disappeared in •the darkness ' but I could still trace her course by the black streamers of smoke pouring out from her chimneys. Onward she made her way to wards the- Kentucky battery, spiked a few nights since. Eagerly we watched and 'lis tened far the sentinel's alarm. She glided past it without being observed, but a moment afterwards the ring of musketry told that she was discovered. • Single . muskets answered all along the line of themain shore, and from the Lighti &leaded one after the. other, and we knew then that-the whole force were at their guns. There was a mysterious silence,_ which only made on the more anxious. It was moots broken. A bright flash gleamed In the darkness and the instant came a savage roar, announcing that the - bail wan opened. As she proceeded down, flashes leaped from point to point and roar after roar broke upon the:night. Sometimes &solitary gun, then five or six others all at oneci,,until the earth reeled and" he sky was painted with living 'rod. Fur half an hour ' the cannonading was ;iOOO/ 1 / 1 111L and terrific.

Joie to thlsthe blinding lashes of lightning and the heavy peals of 'leaven's artillery and it formed a picture of terrible sublimity and awful majesty which might have surpassed even the wildest flights of Rembrandt in his. darkest moods.. As the - Pittsburgh neared the far we coul4 trace her ceurso .by the, Meg,' igbie the cannonading was resumed. Volley atter, volley of musketry-was fired with. thb titmost rapidity and kept up for . wend minutes, indicating the presence of, two or threh regiments Of soldiers. The firing again died away, Indicating that the Rubicon' was paired. . - , . About five minutes after, the sentinels at the ontuoky battery again gave the alarm, and the cannonading wax again resumed, this thnd, up the ' river :' ' They were evidently 101- pteeted with' the idea that the whole fleet were coming down upon them.

It is the spot to which kidnapped free colored people were car ried, so as to elude discovery. Thefriends of missing victims have been for a long time in despair, but the biding place bas at last been revealed. In former days the, slave traders united to punish kidnappers, and were always ready to subject. their purchases to public inspection, so as to prevent kidnapping . The present breed of these princely dealers in human flesh make fish t6f all that come into their nets. I was told a day or two ago, by an old Mary lander, that the number of kidnapped free negroes in this State is estimated by shrewd observers to be not less than ten thousand in the last ten years. RUNAWAY SLAVES The Prince George county planters are losing their slaves by hundreds. The Washington Star admits the fact, and gives details. It adds that many of the owners yield to the difficulty of restraining their slaves, and let them go without further hindrance. Some of them overtake the flying squads and recapture the able. bodied, but let the others go. One planta tion belonging to.a rebel now in Dixie, has lost all its slaveS, and has fallen into the hands of his brother-in-law, who went from Delaware to occupy it. Indeed, slave flights are the rule now in all the counties of this State, and if the present state of things continues it will ho sufficient to up root slavery in Maryland ; but matters will not stand still. There is an impelling power. behind, which will speedily extin guish the curse in this state. Mr. White's committee of nine will urge forward the march of liberty. --- The Advance of Hank's Condition of the Opposing Forces. Eomeoao', Va., April 4.—The Fifth Army Corps still remains at Edinboro', where it arrived on the first day cf its march. Th 4 enemy's ridettos are in eight on the other side of Stony creek, which runs through the town, and their skirmishers have occasional brushes with our pickets. The town is situated in a deep valley, the hills on this side occupied by our batteries, while the enemy are posted in the wooded hills on the other. They have withdrawn most of their guns to Mount Jack son, or wherever they mean to make a stand, leaving one 15-Pounder concealed in a thick et, with which they fire an occasional shell at our pickets. The bill on which our batteries are ,posted commands their position, so that they can easily be driven out of it at any time it is de= 'arable. Their horsemen are plainly visible with the naked eye, standing on the brow of their hill and watching our movements- from the woods. Whenever any number of them get together, so as to affords good shot for one .of our Parrots, a shell goesafter them to make them more cautious. Oar batteries have got the range of their position now so wall that every shell tells on them. Still they are very bold, and single horsemen ride slowly and coolly towards mar lines, quite unmoved by bullets which our pickets send at them at long. range. Yesterday one of them dismounted from his horse, tied him in the woods and Came down across the fields witlkhis rifle to a figs, along which he crept to et a shot at' our, men. Their bullets generally fall short, ss do ours sent in reply. Our men have not irot learned to estimate distances well enough to use their long range sights correctly, and so lose much of the effectiveness of their rides. But they are learning fast, and already.have hit some of the rebels. The artillery practice improves even faster than the infantry. . THE UNION PULING.
