The Rebel Poor.

The question can not but force itself upon
the minds of the poor whites in the rebel
army, as they encounter the privations and
hardships Of a winter csmpaign-"What
and whom are we fighting for 2" Under the
old Government they had nothing to COM
plain of, and since they were torn away
from its protection they have had nothing
but suffering and danger, with no prospect
of relief in the future. No Southern Con-
federacy could better their former condi-
ton. 1t was not devised for them or their
children-they did not want it-and yet
they were called upon to do the brunt OF
the fighting for its establishment that
others may enjoy a monopoly of power and
they become disfranchised. 1t is impossi-
BILE, we say, but that these reflections must
begin TO force themselves upon the minds Of
the poor soldiers and their families. The
following letter found on Tybee Island is
poinfully significant in this connection:
"SAvANNAH, Nov. 8, 1861. My dear Hus-
band l received your letter on yester-

Report or Iron-uInd Vessels,

By order Of Congress the Secretary of the
Navy. appointed on the 9Th of August
Board Of Officers to investigate plans for the
construction Of iron clad ships. The officers
of the Board were Commodores Joseph
Smith and Hiram Paulding, and Captain G.
II. Davis. They have handed in their report,
in which they express the belief that iron.
clad ships, though fitted for barbor defenses
end for special operations on coast, will not
be successful as cruisers. They say:
"Tbe enormous load of iron, go much ad
ditional weight to the vessel the great
breadth of beam necessary to give her sta
biity, the short supply of coal she will be
able TO stow in bunkers, the greater power
required to propel her, aud the largely in
creased cost Of construction, are objections to
this class OF vessels as cruisers, which we
believe it is difficult to successfully over
come"
They do not believe any iron hoating bat.
terry can cope successfully with properly
constructed Qualifications but cay that
"armoTed ships or batteries may be employed
advantage to pass Notifications on land,
for ulterior objects Of attack, to run a block
ade, or 10 reduce temporary batteries on the
shores Of rivers, and the approaches to our
harbors"
In the question between ships all iron and
those of wood iron clad, they incline to the
latter. As cruisers, iron and iron. clad ships
will he unsuccessful, they think, because,
though their attack on a wooden vessel
would be fatal, the wooden ship would keep
out Of the way.
In regard to the most effective shot they
say;
| and heavy spherical shot. Rifed guns have
greater range, but the conical shot does not
produce the crushing effect of spherical
shot"
1t was suggested, it seems, that our Gov.
ernment should procure an iron-c vessel
to he built in England; but it is not believed
to be necessary. 1t was, therefore, deter
mined to seek for proposals among our own
ship. builders. The qualities demanded were
light draught and invulnerability. The
Board received seventeen proposals, of which
the most remarkable is one by BENJAMIN
Rathborn, for a vessel eighty feet wide,
seventy.four feet deep, drawing twenty Eve
! feet water, and measuring Is 900 tuns.
The Board recommended three of the pro.
| posals and specifications. These are by ]
Ericsson, of New York, who proposes a bat.
terry l72 feet long, Al feet broad, l11z feel
deep, 10 feet draught, 1855 tuus measure.
mept, to make a speed of nine miles an hour
to cost $275,000, and require 100 days to
build. By Merrick & Son, Philadelphia
who propose a vessel of wood and iron com.
bined, 22O feet long, 60 feet beam, % feel
deep, l3 feet draught, 1926 tuns and 9L

to build, and cost $3.50, 900. Lastly, the pro.
posal of Bushnell Il Co, of New Haven, il
for a vessel ron.clad, on the rail and plate
principle, and to obtain high speed. She i!

The Ladies and the War

At recent meeting of the young ladies
of Marion, Ind, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
ResoEved, That we, the young ladies Of
Marion, will tender our services as clerks,
mechanics and tillers of the soil, to supply
the places of our able-bodied young men
in their storehouses, workshops and on their
farms, while they go to fight our country's
battles for us. a-.-
Resolved, That we will not only be our
own clerks, mechanics and husbandmen,
but to those young men who can not go be-
cause ''mOther won't consent we will guar
antee to coax ma for every one OF them.
Resolved That we will now and forever
withhold our favor, friendship and love
from every able-bodied young man who
will not enlist at his country's call. On the
other hand, to those who volunteer we
proffer our most active service to relieve
their wants, and promise them our bright
est smiles and highest esteem forever.
ResolUed, That none of us will ever marry
during this bloody struggle, but if the
hearts of our brothers and lovers are toe
faint and their nerves too weak, ace are
ready to go forth TO mete out justice to rebeL'
and traitors.
Resolved, That when the goal is past, and
a peaceful calm settles down on our glorious
and triumphant republic, should any man
not having been engaged in this war, have
the presumption TO offer us his cOwardlJ
heart we will say no nsUer nsver ilnever n
These patriotic resolutions no doubt hai
the effect of reducing the "hOme guard" o
Marion to very small number. To sup
pose that. the old maids entrapped tn
young ladies into this movement, as pun
ishment to the young men who had resisted
their Establishments, is, of course scandal
GUS; but we have no doubt they hearth!

AN ODD CoMBINATIoN OF TRADEs.-The
Poles so thoroughly detest the Russians, and
30 seek 10 ignore them, that no bookseller in
Warsaw will have q Russian book in his
store, nor even music-selle piece of Rus
sian music. The result of this heartfelt anti
pathy to Russia is, in one respect, almost
comic. | have said that Russian books are
banished from the booksellers shops in War
saw to such an extent that works in the Rus
sian language, which may be purchased at
the principal foreign publishers of Paris and
London, are not to be heard Of at any OF the
libraries in the capital of Russian Poland.
To supply this want, inasmuch as there are
plenty OF Russian officers in Warsaw-many
of them with their families, who are not
aveIse TO reading-the grocers have gone
into the book trade, and, if you want to read
Russian, you must get your books, your
newspapers or reviews where you buy your
tea and sugar. These very original trades.
men also sell Russian music, Russian caviar,
(not much relished by the Poles), Russian
lea urns, portraits of the late Gortschakoff,
and innumerable representations of the mem
bers of the Imperial family. Russian books,
pictures and music might be advertised in
the Polish newspapers as sold in Warsaw at
all respectable tea dealers" In the interior
of one of these literary groceries you may
fancy yourself in Russia; but there are not
more than three or four of them in all War
saw, and as soon as you have left the shop
| you might, for any signs of Russian civiliza-
ton that meet your eye, be two thousand
miles from Moscow.-LondOn Times.
