TIE STEVENS BArrERr.-We published, on
Thursday, an abstrsct Of Mr.. Steve MS mem ,rial
to Congress, requesting the completion Of his
battery. Now that the vast superiority of iron
over wood is clearly established by the recent
conflicts near Norfolk, the propriety of The
epe, dy completion Of the Stevens battery would
appear to be clearly established The letter
Of the Messrs. Stevens, Of August l3, 1911, then
placed on the files Of the Navy Department,
proves that they were the first to propose iron
war s!eamers-tubmerged propellers, protected
by iron armori and their experiments, then
made by them and reported to the Government
in that letter, first demonstrated the superi, rity
Of iron armor placed al an anJle which would
glance both shot and shell.
The memorial presents the most conclusive
proof Of the vast power and perfect security
of the Stevens battery, and demonstrates her
superiority to the great IRON Glad French or
Engii.h steamers, some OF which are finished
md many others In the course Of construction
Let III, then, have the Stevens battery aaoa,
at the earliest practicable period.
Stree this was written, we are glad 10 find
that Mr.. Hale, chairman Of the Naval Commit
tee of the Senate, has reported bill for tt,
immediate completion Of the Stevens battery.

LORD JOHN RUssELL's LAST DISPATCH
ON THE BLOCKADE.

Nen York, March ll.-The steamer Africa

XGibraltar sdvioes say It was the Lieutenant,
rested.
The flnal ofRcIa dispatch of the British Gov.
eminent relative to the blockade has been pub.
lished in the papers. Lord Russell to Lord
shows us that notwithstanding the presence Of
sufficient blockadng force OF Charleston and
Wilmington, various ships have eluded the
blockade. Government are of the opinion that
II sufficient ships are stationed at ports to pre-
vent access, or to create evident danger to yes.
sells leaving or entering and provided such
ships do not voluntarily permit violations Of
the blockade, the fact that various ships may
have successfully escaped will not of itself pre-.
vent the blockade from being effective. Ade-
quacy Of forco being always matter Of fac,
and evidence, a neutral State ought to exercise
the greatest caution with reference TO disre'
gard Of de fdcto blockade, and ought not TO
disregard II except when It entertains a convic.
ton, shared by other ne eutrals, that the power
Of the blockade is abused by a State either uu.
able to institute or maintai0A, or unwilling,
from some motive or other, to do so.'
In answer to an inquiry, Lord Russell was
understood TO say that he had received word
from Lord Lyons that Mr.. Seward had informed
him that no more stone ships will be used.

A SKIRMISH WITH REBEL CAVALRY.

kWIScIIEsTER, March l3.--This afternoon while
fdraging on the Strausburg road, three miles
distan,, twenty six of our cavalry came upon
hrge farm bearing the evidence of having
Recently been occupied by Ashby's men. While
theI teams were loading with hay, about two
hundred Of the latter came near, and threw
out two companies to skirmish. Our men
covered the departure of their teams and
PREPARED to resist an attack, which was finally
comAenced.
Six Wisconsin pickets came up, and with
rifles killed two Of the enemy. One OF our
cavalry dashed upon the enemy amid shower
Of bullets and killed one rebel with his pistol.
The enemy made no effort at a charge, but
gradually advanced as onr men fell back to
the town in good order and unharmed. 1t is Il
noticeable fact that for several months the
inhabitants OF this section Of country have been
entirely without coal, and with limited means
Of transporting fuel into the towns. The gas
works at ChaI lestown and Winchester have
been closed for want Of stock.

Number OF embrasures
Number Of wooden guns

Number oil embrasures ~
Number Of wooden guns 81
The guns were pine logs, charred black, with
muzzles delineated with chalk and properly
protruded from the embrasures.
No real guns had ever been mounted. This
was the representation made by the negroes,
and the appearances inside Of the work prove
this representation TO be correct.
A negro, who had been kept at work for
months by the rebels, reports them as having
said that these pine legs would answer just as
we'll to "skeer U,e enemy"
OF the numbers of the rebels, the highest es-
innate OBJ tainable from the negroes, was sixty
thousand men, and this was predicated upon
the basis of one thousand men TO a regiment,
which is about double the actual fact.
The bulk Of the rebels were at Centreville,
as appears by the huts in which they lived.
Our informant says, that the most intelligent
person he saw thought that tie number at Cen
,reville was twenty thousand.
The rebels had had at Centreville about
twenty pieces Of field artillery.
Inc l0rtlncatlOnS az ManassHs, i've III NUN
ber. had been mounted with real guns, and
guus too, of good size and description. But
Of course, they were not formidable to those
who kept cut of their reach, and these works
could easily have been pa sci on either flank
and reduced by cutting off their communica
tions in the rear, If direct assault WAS no
| thought desirable
| But the works at Centreville were a mer,
sham, built only to " sheer,' and most admira
bly, serving that purpose.
1t was for the nineteenth century, and fo
this new world, that these performances on th
Potomac were reserved. The old world va
too much exhausted, and former centuries hat
not the necessary science and money, even /
they had the genius. An army nearly double
that with which Louis Napoleon Tough. th,
battle of Solferino, held at bay for nobody cal
recollect how many weeks, by thir,y-ont
wooden guns, is something which mankint
never saw before and may never see again
Let us Of the contemporary generation rel ,ice
that it has been our pre- eminent fortune t.
witness it.

THE GREAT FARCE.-TnE ENEMY
AT CBNTRHVlLLE.

EHuman history contains no parallel 10 the
military performances on the Potomac, Of
which the .fnale d the bill pending In the
House, to impose an annual internal tax upon
the people Of this country, estimated to pro
duce one hundred millions Of dollars. When
the facts arc oil brought out and established by
such evidence q is necessary to inspire belief
in what Is apparently so incredible, II is moi
merely America which will be amazed. Blum
derlng so stupendous will receive, as 1t de-
serves, the attention Of the world.
We obtained yesterday, from a most careful
and reliable gentleman, for many years a
member Of Congress, who had just arrived
here from q thorough personal inspection Of
Centreville and Manassas. the following ac.
counts:
The fortif.a.ions at Centreville, distinguish

No CsuncII OF war held.

The statement published last week that Il
council of war in Washington decided eight to
four, that the army OF the Potomac should no
be moved against the enemy at present, is en-
tirely untrue. Ths generals were unanimous
that an advance was possible and proper. The
only difference was as to the plan Of the pro-
posed attack.-N. T. Times.
The statement referred to was made by
us, upon authority much better than that Of the
Times, aud is true.
Four generals believed that an immediate
advance should be made. Eight opposed 1t.
The President sided with the four and therefore
by order OF March s, cons ituted the Potomac
army iu-foIr divisions, to be commanded by
them./
