THE STEAM Ram MANASSAS A FAILURE.-
As o vast deal has been said about the in-
vinoibility Of the famous Captain Hollin's
steam ram, It will be we'll enough to keep
in view the exact performances of that craft
when the Southern navy attacked our
blockading squadron in the Mississippi
river. In the darkness of the night she
drifted afoul of the Government steamship
Richmond, by which accident she broke her
iron nose, which was to have annihilated
the entire Union feet; disarranged her ma
chinery, and finally ran away towards New
Orleans when only two guns Of the squad.
ron were bearing on her. This iron-clad
noudescript was constructed at the cost OF
over two hundred thousand dollars, and
appears to be about as formidable as a
dredging machine.

The Walled Lake.

The wonderful Walled Lake is situated 10
the central part of Wright county, Iowa.
The shape OF the lake is oval. 1t is about
two miles in length, and one mile wide 10
the widest part, comprising an area oil some
1000 acres. The wall inclosing this lake
is over six miles in length, and is built or
composed of stones varying in size from
boulders Of two tous weight down to small
pebbles, aud is intermixed with earth. The
TOD of the wall is uniform 10 hight above
the water in all parts, which makes its hight
to vary on the land side according to the
uuevenness of the country, from two to
twelve feet 10 hight. Ia the highest part
the wall measures from ten TO twelve 1eet
thick at the base, and from four to SIX at
the top, inclining each way-outward and
inward. There is no outlet, but the lake
frequently rises and flows over the top OF
the wall. The lake at the deepest part is
about ten feet in depth, and abOuDds with
large and fine feb, such as pike, pickerel,
bass, perch, etc. The water is as clear as
crystal, aud there is no bubbling or aglta-
tion to indicate any large springs or feed
ers. Wild fowl of all kinds are plenty upon
its bosom. At the north end are two small
groves of about ten acres each, no other
timber being near. II has the appearance
of having been walled up by human hands,
and looks like huge fortress, yet there are
no rocks in that vicinity for miles around.
There are no visible signs of the lake being
the result of volcanic action, the bed being
perfectly smooth, and the border Of regular
form. The lake is about seventeen miles
from Boon river on the west, eight miles
from Iowa on the east, and about one bun
dred and twenty miles from Cedar Rapids.
Ii is one of the greatest wonders of the
West, and has already been visited by hun
dreds Of curiosity seekers.
