The following suggestion of Admiral Sarto-
RUS is an imperfect conception OF plan for an
invulnerable war steamer, proposed some years
ago by Commander W. w. Hunter, of the
United States Navy. A suggestion of this kind,
from such quarter, is proof that profession
al men are directing their attention to the de.
sired end. For some time, and especially du.
ring the late war with Russia, England has re-
garded such war steamer as a desderatum.
Commander Hunter gave Admiral Wormley,
of her Msjesty's Navy, some years ago, q
model AID drawings of the vessel he desirpsd-
sixty-g ship to act also as q batterinp ram.
Wormley died, and nothing has been heard of
the model and drawings. They are, no doubt,
with the English Admiralty, and will, we doubt
not, one day show themselves. 1t matters not
"who" gives the world useful thing, 30 long
as it ia useful to mankind.
An invention to act as q war steamer and
battering ram was also proposed, We remember,
some years ago, by Mr.. Nasmyth, engineer, of
Chat Moss, England. But no one, we believe,
has presented q plan 80 complete as the one
proposed by Commander Hunter, of the United
States Navy.
"Iauulnerable &ips.-Admiral G. R. Sarto
RUS sends to o morning contemporary de-
scription of shotp proof steam RAM vessel

My notion (says the Admirably is, that the
steam-ram should have stem or stern flor each

massive projecting prov or rostrum, by means
of which the blow is to be given, the proiec.
ton being sufficient to protect the rudder from
injury, and the prov having shoulders to pre-
vent the possibility of its too deep insertion.
The extremes being of the same shape, there
would be q screw propeller at each end, thus
doubling the means of propulsion, whether for
backing, going ahead, or turning; moreover,
the vessel would be less likely to be aisabled.
The object for which she is most expressly de.
signed is that of crushing in the side or bow Of
an enemy by her besk but che would also be

ACCEPTANCE OF CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

The following is the letter of Hon. Charles
Francis Adams, accepting the nomination for
member of Congress rendered him by the
American Republicans of the third district:
QUINCY, October IL, 1853
Hon. Vetorous Taft, President, and the other
officers Of the Conoention: # =
GENTLEMEN received last evening your
letter, announcing to me that / had been hon.
ored with the unanimous nomination of the
Convention assembled at Dedham on the 7th
inst, as q candidate to represent the third dis
trict of this Commonwealth in the next Con.
gress of the United States. accept the nom.
ination In the spirit ia which it was made. AL.
though not inclined to solicit Office, vet if it be
the wish of the people Of this district that
should serve them in the National Councils at
Washington, you may be assured that they viii
be no triHing obstacles that shall prevent me
from taking my place there at the proper time.
1t has for some time been my conviction
that the questions at present dividing the coun-
try touch the very essence of free government.
On which side Of them Massachusetts, should
be found, it we're superAuous to point out.
More than two centuries of labors and suffer
ings have pledged her to uphold every liberal
movement for the advancement of mankind
The only danger of failare springs from the
tendency natural to freemen, to differ upon the
precise modes best fitted to carry out their OBJ
jects. I trust that, through the liberal and
comprehensive. character of the combination
forming to countsract the pernicious policy
and to expose the odious doctrines of the
National Administration, this danger may be
averted, and that all Who harmonic in spirit
may, by their united exertions, concentrate
their power for the accomplishment of useful
ends. If it be the opinion of my fellow-citizens
that an instrument so feeble "a myself can be
made in any way effective in promoting those
ends, all that can promise in return is, that
whatever of strength God has given me shall
be faithfully devoted to their service.
l am, gentlemen, with great respect, your
friend and servant.
