GuNBoAT New ERA.-This terrible en-.
CINE Of destruction left yesterday after
noon for Missouri River, drawing three
and half feet of water and will navigate
the Missouri with ease. 1t has three hun.
dred men on board, all prepared with rifles

by heavy iron, and the sharpshooters and
gunners, and all others on board, will be
in no danger whatever from bullets from

proof decks, and being directed by expe-
rienced gunners, will destroy with the
greatest ease any obstacle within distance
Of three miles. The New Era will prove
an invaluable institution on the Missouri

nor blown up. Her crew are eager for
the fray.
ANOTHER IRON PLATED STEAMER
The Government steamer Col. Mcneil
made her appearance at the wharf yester-
day, encased in iron plates of haitian inch
in thickness. The boilers and pilot are
completely protected from rife shot, and
the entire crew can ensconce themselves
in safe quarters whenever necessary.

Emmons and two experienced gunners-
McElroy and Newfoundland also twenty

URGENT CALL FOR TRooPs IN KENTUcKY-The

Gen. Mitchell yesterday telegraphed to Camp
Dennison for all the commandants of regiments
to meet him last night at the Burnett House.
Accordingly the commanders of the 18th, 18th,
2lst, Ssth, 4Sth, and sd came down, and oil ex.
cept the sgd received marching orders. he al
90 ordered the batteries into Kentucky, and by
telegraph he directed Company c, SD regiment
to cook three days rations, and hold themselves
ready for duty. The presumption is that the
care Of one or more of the redoubts will be
committed to the care of this company.
Gen. o. N. Mitchell stated at the Burnett
House last evening, in brief address to the
Thirty.6rst Ohio Regiment, which was on the
way to Kentucky. that he had news of the pas
sage of heavy reinforcements for Gen. Zollicoff
er through Cumberland Gap, and the movement
of the rebel army towards Central Kentucky
Ohio troops are being thrown forward with all
possible expedition, to reinforce Gen. Thomas,
at Camp Dick Robinson, and battle is expect
ed in that quarter directly. m
Cincinnati is profoundly interested in militia.
~ operations in that direction. for if Zollconer
should prove victorious be might be expected
to advance upon us, with the design of moving
the seat Of war into Northern Kentucky, and, If
possible, carry It to the banks Of the Ohio. But
we think he will be well whipped, and that the
seat OF war will be moved further South.

something in it, as he himself was a sort
of medium How medium p inquired
the landlord. why, replied the wag, 4
can do great many mysterious things, for
instance, eau make bell ring without
touching it. The landlord offered to bet
he could not. The wag persisted, and
said that he would lay $40 that he could
make at least dozen of the bells in that
room ring within two minutes, without
moving from where he sat. Done = ex.
claimed the landlord, and the money was
put up. The wag turned round in his
seat, opened closet door and turned off
the gas from the upper part of the build
ing. In less than one minute, half the
bells in the Office began to ring violently.
The dodgers above had lost their lights
The $40 was fairly won"
