LATE FROM RICHMOND.
Is THE MERRIMAC No. PLATED OR NOT .
Ny MARYLAND" NOT sung NOW IN RICH
MOSD. 81

A gentleman who left Richmond ON Saturday
says he was Oh board the Merrimac Nose on
Friday last. He states contrawiSe to the report
published yesterday that the Merrmac No. = l.
fully plated. She il not yet ready for sea. but
has all tho plates which il is intended 20 put on
her, and has had for two months. Her guns are
all on hoard, but only one of them is mounted.
She would have been ready for sea two months
ago. hut one of her engines proved too small,
and Is to be- replacedby a larger one.
Our informant was also in Fort Darling,
which is now manned by three companies OF
artillery and company of marines.
Troops continue TO arrive in Richmond, but
in small numbers, and are hurried North to re-
inforce Lee. .-.
Three or four hundred wounded arrive daily
in Richmond, but are always brought in during
the night. and the papers never mention the
number, the desire being apparently to hide the
disasters as much as possible from the public.
The Rebels are building another Iron Clad
1GO feet long.
The Confeds are disguised with Maryland
Before Lees entrance into that State, its re-
demption was the theme of all secash. Only
Maryland" which was heard on all occasions,
in parlor, hall and on the street, is now tabooed
and no one sings il.
