Our Iron-Clad Vessels.

From e statement made lately In the U.
s. Senate, by Mr. Grimes, Of Iowa, 1t ap.
pears that the Monitor cost the Government
only S275,O although she was not to
be paid for until she bad been tested. The
Galena. built at Mystic, CT, cost S25O,OOO,
and the IrOnsides, recently launched at
Philadelphia, cost S7SO,OOO. The Ironsides
ic much larger, and supposed to be much
more formidable than either of the others,
though the Monitor is the only one that
has been tested. These three iron clad ves-
sels, which cost in the aggregate $780,
600, were built from an appropriation OF
81, 800, 900, made during the extra session
of Congress, leaving a surplus of S2lO, 900
for contingent expenses and armament
During the present session of Congress,
s2O,OOO,O 900 bas been appropriated for iron.
clad vessels; aud we see it stated that the
Government has no lees than fOrty-eght
of these vessels built and 10 course of con
struction. Capt. Ericsson has contracted
to build six upon the general plan of the
Monitor, but four of them to be much lar
ger, and with much heavier armament, to
be delivered in four months. In regard 10
the capabilities of the celebrated Stevens
battery, now building at Hoboken, Mr..
Hale recently stated in the Senate, that he
thought "it would be the most powerful YES
sci o0 the face of the earth. for ofense and
Defense" Her guns are all pivot guns, and
the whole force of her armament may be

CATHOLIC DOCTRINE ON DuRLING.- DIR.
Dixon, the Catholic Primate of Ireland, has
lately issued thesis on dueling, in which he
says:
/ speak Of Catholic duelists as such; that is
to say, speak of them precisely in their char
acter Of duelists-in other words, speak not
Immediately and directly of the person but Of
the act. Having promised these observations,
l now assert, without the least fear Of being
contradicted by any one who understands the
doctrine and practice of the Catholic Church
l. That a Catholic duelist, as such, must be
held in adherence by every one who loves our
Divine Lord, by every one who hates mortal sin
and has a due horror of an act whereof the
Holy Church of God has an exceeding great
horror.
2. That the Catholic duelist, as such, proves
himself to be in reality coward, according OF
the true Christian meaning of the words cow
ardice and heroism.

palmy days, the whole Of which is owned 10y a
wealthy millionaire-Van Sycle-who walks
about the place and informs everybody that
they must not burn any wood, chips or dried
manure, as it all belongs to him, and that they
are dependent entirely upon him for everything
that they can get. He has staked off the en-

THE Los ANGELES TRAITORs.-A FREUD
has sent us a private letter from Los Ange-
les, dated May 9Th, 1862, in which the following
language is used:
Many have been the "hurrahs" for jeff
Davis and Beauregard to-day at the munich
pal election drinks to their health have been
frequent all day; the polls have just closed,
and Dixie is now on general drunk. 1t seems
to be hard to make the proper authorities be-

only one Notary Public and one Justice Of the
Peace who are avowed Union men the rest Of
our officers are neutral.
Showolter and his party have been released
at Fort Yuma it is expected they will return
here soon.-[ Stockton Independent.
