STEAM FRIGArrs MISSISSIPPI AND MnsouRI.-
Thesetwo noble steamers will start in few days
for Washington They go together and the passage
to that city will therefor be test of their eseparate
qualities
Much has been said in relation to their speed,
size, and strength, but upon no data whatever In
Philadelphia, the Mississippi is held up to be the
superior vessel, because she was built there and IN
this ely The Missouri is said to be the fastest and
best because she was born here. Now it matters not
pin in what section Of the country these steamers
were brought into existence so long as they
were built in America and by Americans
If one is superior to the other let it be SO
proved at sea, sailing and steaming in company
Then if the Missouri be the better vessel let our en-
gneers and shpwrghts reap the reward OF their SUI
peror skill and ingenuity, and vice versa.
Theoretically there can be no difference in the
speed of the two vessels for their huls are OF the
same model and draft-their cylinders have the
same cubcal contents, and their boilers are f ON
the same moulds. In fact they are as nearly alike
as two ships can be- barring their engines-those in
the Missouri being American inclined, and those OF
the Mississippi English vertical, with American
boilers and American valves. Therefore, theoretl-
cally there can be no difference in their speed In
practice, however, there may be,
On their experimental trip to there are these ad-
vantages and disadvantages which should be taken
into consideration 1t is TO be recolleced that the
Mississippi was built in fresh water, and has there
fore comparatively clean copper. and it should be re-
collected also that in practice, English engines have
more friction in their operation, and from their ex-
cessive weight over American engines, the vessel Is
depressed several inches deeper in the water. On
the other hand the Missouri was built in salt water
and has lain sometime therein and consequen <y her
copper must be foul which Of course is against her
We throw out these data for the benefit OF all whom
they may interest. If they act in any way In favor
ofelher vessel, we cannot help it, We merely give
the facts.
In relation to the inward appearance Of the two
steamers-ths workmanship and finish OF the
machinery-t there is this to be sald-he Mssis.
sippi is a caricaiwe of the Missouri. And this too,
notwithstanding the latter cost thiry-tour thousand
dollars less than the former. However the beauti-
full appearance of vessel does not govern her speed,
and we shall therefore look with some interest for
the result of the trip Of those two war steamers to
the capitol.
