THOSE GrSE0ATs.-The Cairo correspondent of
the st. Louis Democrat, Black Republican organ,
lets out the following, which is just as we ex-
pected:
These gunboats, constructed at an immense ex-
pensc to the Government, am sorry TO say, have
been built on the rotten hus of old worn-out pas
seuger and coal towboats, and any man with pair
of good cow-hide heavy soled boots could kick out
their water sides. There never was more wanton
waste of public money than in their construction.
4 sX-pound ball, well aimed, would knock their
wheels to pieces, and land battery would if in
| range, make them only slaughter pens.

A FEDERAL STEAMER SUNK.--The Memphis Ap-
peal of Wednesday, has the following in regard to
the sinking OF Lincoln steamboat by our guns at
Commerce:
Through the courtesy of Col Jas. Coleman, of the
Memphis telegraph office, we have an account of the
sinking of the Federal transport steamer Hannibal
City, at Commerce, on Monday last, by Gen. jeff.
Thompson. The news comes from Paducah via
Humboldt and is confirmed in our regular assoca-
ted press dispatches. The account says:
A passenger from Cairo to PaduGah by the
steamer Scott, which arrived Monday night reports
that jeff Thompson has blockaded the river at
Commerce, No, twenty-five miles above Cairo.
The steamer Desmoines was going up and when
she came in sight Of Commerce she saw boat lying
off from shore. The Desmones was hailed from
the Illinois shore and told not to proceed further
that the Hannibal City had been captured and sunk
by the Contederates, with about four hundred raw
recruits for Birds Point.
When the Scott left Cairo at P. NJ. Monday
the Federals were impressing all the boats there to
carry troops up the river. Heavy firing was heard
in the direction of Commerce yesterday. The gun
boats went up the Mississippi Monday afternoon
but returned in a hurry.
