A VISIT TO THE NETV lEOIV-CLAD SHIP

YARDS.

(Rom the _Yew York Tribune of Sept. 30.)

Our naval reporter yesterday visited the yards in which
iron-clad ships are building for the Government. In them
all the utmost energy and industry were visible. The fol-
lowing is a rough estimate of the number of hands em-
ployed in the different places named :

will be afloat in a month. They are very much like their
sister ships. The Puritan is the Great Eastern of the lot,
being nearly as large as the three combined. She is only
in frame. The Onondaga is further advanced. Sho is all
iron, and will have two turrets. The Morgan Iron Works
are getting up her machinery.

ster begin to look recognisable.
Mr. -Whitney's iron ship is more advanced than any save
the Weehawken. The Moodna is the name given to her by
Mr, Welles. The hull is finished, and a good portion of
the armour on. The entire shell of the vessel is complete,
and, if it were of wood, would be in launching condition.
The turrets are two in number, and are nearly ready. Be-
fore the expiration of October the Moodna will be ready for
floating out.
Mr. Webb's ram has just been commenced. She will be
7,000 tons burden. All other ships on the iron system will
be mere catamarans to her. At present she looks too un-
Ile anything to be described. In two months she will be
a great ram, able to go to sea, and accommodate a larger
ship's company than the Niagara. Iler name has not been
mentioned yet, but people think it ought to be Washington')
as we Lave no man-of-war of that name.
