Launch Of Ano,ncr Iron-Cl.d.

The iron-clad Ericsson battery Montauk
was launched at Greenpoint, near New
York, on Thursday morning, where she
has been for some months in the course
Of construction, under the immediate SUI
pervision of Capt. Ericsson. The "Mon-
tauk" is goo feet long, for,y-fye feet wide
and nearly thirteen feet deep. 1t is very
near the dimensions OF all the other !. Mon
itors" Unusual care, however, has been
bestowed upon the construction of this
vessel. Her plates were critically exam
ined in every instance. and it is believed
that the most careful scrutiny could not
discover flaw in them. There is only
one turret on board the Montauk, and its
dimensions are twenty-one feet inside and
eleven inches thick. 1t is in this turret
that the battery Of the vessel is to be
plaeed, and it revolves in such manner
that shots can be fired at any point of the
compass, within few seconds Of each 9th
er. The turret is cupola shaped, and on
the very top Of it there is pilot house.

business without fearing the intrusive en-
trance Of an unwelcome shell, in the hot
test battle. There are FIVE inches of iron
on the hull, besides the usual solid wood
en- frame, which is rivetted and screwed
none the less carefully because there is a
shot-proof guard covering The ma
chinery of the vessel is also out of harm s
way, being, it is said, inaccessible to any
description of ammunition. 1t works in
a great measure like the machinery OF
wooden craft, an is managed in nearly
the same manner. 80
The launch was one of the finest that
has been witnessed here for years. The
vessel sped for nearly 400 yards yards without
intcrmission, not as much as rope yarn
giving away.

The Washinton Star of this evening
says A man who arrived here this morn
ing from Conrad's Ferry states that he
was in the presence OF General Stuart
few minutes before crossing the river.
Stuart informed him in sarcastic man
ner he had fooled the whole party. but
regretted he had not accomplished what
he intended when he started, as he was
expected to reach Frederick, Maryland,
destroy the government stores at that
point, then destroy the bridge over the
Monocacy, but that all things taken into
consideration, be had carried out his pro-
gramme with much success. Stuart's
men and horses looked extremely exhaus-
ted, but the former where in high glee.
General Stewart sent his compliments To
many U. s. officers whom he had known
in former times.

Washington, Oct. ID.
A rumor has been current tonight
that large force of rebels had crossed
into Maryland and been defeated. There
is not word of truth in the report. 1t
is said that the failure to arrest the escape
Of Stuart and his bold rebel cavalry in
their dash into Pennsylvania and Mary
land, is attributed to the division conf.
rnandcr ut Pooiesvillc, to whom ihstfae-
tons had been sent by Mcclellan, stating
that Stuart would probably retreat upon
the line which he subsequently pursued,
and suggested disposition of forces
which would inevitably cut off his passage
across the Potomac. A strict investiga-
tion is now being conducted about it with
view of fixing the guilt and assigning
punishment, where it is merited. From the
facts already made public its evident that
Mcclellan took proper measures to pre-.
vent the return of Stuart to Virginia, and
the fault must be with the subordinate
officers who failed to obey his orders OF
appreciate his suggestions.

THE ELECTION.

Everything passed off quietly yesterday
The Mahonyites were out in force ane
exhibited ample INDICATIONS of a mos
thorough and effective organization. Man,
of their tribe who have not been visbl,
since the draft was FIRST talked of appeared
at the polls yesterday. Many 1rismen
who have been at work on the railroad IN
Illinois till their countenances ceased to
be familiar in our midst, were on baud.
All the blowers and strikers Of the Ma
honyite wing of the party were about
from early morn, none OF them having
exposed their precious persons down In
Dixie. And they all worked and voted
most untirins ly and enthusiastically for
the Mahony ticket.
Our workers are for the most part abb
sent in the service of the country, and SO
also were large proportion Of our voters.
And as consequence we are under the
disagreeable necessity of chronicling q
victory for the Mshonyites in our goodly
City Of keokuk.

case, and are not at all disappointed, ex-
rept in the fact that the majority is in

Thrce Union Ladies violated.

We are informed, on unimpeachable
authority, of one of the most horrible and
revolving crimes ever perpetrated on the
soil of Tennessee. A party of guerrilss,
five in number, belonging to Dick Nc
Cams command, it is said, went on last
Tuesday night to the house of highly
respectable citizen, about eight miles
from Nashville ON the Nubbin Ridge road j.
and violated the person Of his wife and
daughter in the most brutal manner. The
ruffians, whose lust and revenge were still
unsatiated, leaving this scene of horror,
went to the house of highly estimable
widow in the vicinity and treated her ia
the same fendish manner. These fami-
lies are both represented in Stokes cav
airy, and the rebels, unable to avenge
themselves On the men, saked it to the
uttermost on the persons Of helpless fe-
males, their wives and daughters. The
atrocious crime was committed almost in
sight of the capital of Tennessee. A few
weeks ago similar outrage was commit
ted on the person of respectable Young
woman, the daughter Of an aged and loyal
citizen, and again its pages are blackened
by the record of rebel shame. The heart
sickens at the recital of such acts, which
disgrace humanity itself, an the cheek o.
