The iron-cisd Ericsson battery Montsuk
was launched at Greenpoint. near New
York. IN Thursday morning. where she
has been for some months in the course Of
construction. under She imediate supervis-
ION of Captain Euesspasx Thea Iontauk is
800 feet long. forty-fve feet wide. and
nearly thirteen feet deep. 1t is very near
the dimensions OF all the other Monitors.
Unusual care however. has been bestowed
upon the construction Of this vessel. Her
plates were critically examined in every in
stance. and it is believed that the most
careful scruuity could not discover flaw
IN them. There is only one turret on board
The Monsauk. and its dimensions are twen-
tyrone feet inside and eleven inches thick
II Is in this turret that the battery of the
vessel is placed, anil it revolves in such
manner that shots can be fired at any point
OF the compass. within q few seconds of
each other. The turret is cupols shaped.
and on the very top OF it there is pilot
house. well guarded with iron. which new
ss moves, no matter how rapid may be the
revolution of the cupola.- The guns will
be fifteen-inch bore. almost the hesvies,
calibre usel on war vessels. and the cap
tain. loader and spnnger can perform their
business without fearing the intrusive en-
trance Of an unwelcoms sheIl. in the hot
test battle There are Eve inches Of iron
on the hull. besides the usual solid wooden
frame. which il rivetted AMI screwed none
the less carefully because there is shot
proof guArl covering it. The machinery
nf the vessel Is also ont of harms way. be-
ing. it is said. inaccessible to any descrip-
ton of ammunition 1t works in q great
measure like the machinery of wooden
craft. and is managed in nearly the same
manner.
The launch was one Of the finest that
has been Witnessed here for years. The
vessel sped nearly 400 yards without inter-
mission. not as much as rope yarn Civ.

New Method Of submarino nla.ting.

New methOd OF submarine Blustlngs
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times, under date Of Oct. 29, says:
aAmong the works going forward for the
improvement of the ports of France, the
new pier in progress of construction at
HaVre is one Of the most remarkable, En-
gineers are now employed in removing the
foundation Of the tower Of Francis l, and
they take advantage of the high tides to
spring the mines then covered with a great
volume Of water. They profit by the low
water to remove the rubbish. A new sys-
tenn has been introduced for the explosion
of submarine mines. Engineers no long
er make cavities in the rocks to contain
the powder; they merely place a large glass
bottle enclosed in a basket at the bottom
Of the sea where they mean to act, and this
bottle is filed with gunpowder in proper
ton to the effect 10 be produced. The
pressure Of a column Of water of some feet
is sufficient to compress the gas so power
fully as TO cause great ravages on the soil
on which the basket is placed, even were
it of the hardest granite. The gunpowder
is ignited by electricity by means of two
wires, which communicates the FIRE to the
gunpowder, in the bottle. On Thursday
morning last one Of these submarine mines
was sprung by the engineers Of the roads
and bridges, in presence of multitude
Of spectators. The charge of gunpowder
in the bottle was thirty pounds. When
the explosion took place the water rose and
formed an artificial waterspout which
fell on the surface of the water after pro
ducing considerable undulation. The
shock resembled an earthquake and was
felt even in the town. The spectators as
sembled on the breakwater felt it tremBle
under them as if it had been shaken by a
submarine convulsion"

The American Minister and the Life Boat
Service.
[From &c LOndOn Post, Nov. l.

FROM kle LOuQOu EQSl3 NOV. l.
During the fearful gales that prevailed
in the Irish Channel on Sunday night
week, the American ship Ann E. Hooper,
of Baltimore, was driven on the Horsebank
on the Lancashire coast. Immediately the
perilous position Of the ship was seen Mon
day morning, the Lytham lifeboat Of the
National Life Boat Institution was launch
ed and toWed to Windward by the Loeb
Lomond steamer. After having been cast
of by the steamer, the lifeboat had TO go
through q tremendously heavy sea Of brok-
en- water, which filed her three times, but
which was rapidly self elected With.very
great perseverance on the part Of the crew,
she at last reached the ship, and with much
difficulty took off thirteen Of the crew and
a Liverpool pilot who was on board.
After taking off the fourteen men, the
rope by which the lifeboat was held to the
ship parted, but the Southport lifeboat,
which also belong to the National Lifeboat
Institution, fortunately came up at the
time and took off the Captain and the re-
naming three men. On the Hon. Charles
?. Adams, the American Minister at this
Court, being informed Of the rescue. of his
countrymen, he communicated 10 the Ma
tional Lifebost Institution his satisfaction
with the great service rendered to the
crew of the ship Ann E, Hooper by the
lifeboats Of that valuable society. He add
ded that he would take care that an se-
count of the facts Of the case should be
brought under the notice Of the United
States Government.

Il is about twenty years since one Of
the members Of the present Cabinet was q
member Of Congress from distant west
ern State. he had the usual right Of des-
ignating q single candidate for admission
to the West Point Military Academy. The
applications made to him for a vacancy
which then existed we're not many, but
among them was letter from boy of six
teen or seventeen years Of age, who with
out any accompanying recommendation or
references, asked the appointment for
himself The member dismissed the ap-
peal from his mind, with perhaps passing
thought Of the forwardness and impudenee
Of the stripping who could aspire to such
q place on no other grounds than his own
desire to get a good education at the pub
lie expense. Ei.. -r
But happening a short time afterwards
to be in the little village whence the let
ter was mailed, the incident was recalled
TO his memory, and he thought he would
beguile the few hours Of leisure thathe had
BY looking up the ambitious youth. BE
made his way, by dint Of much inquiry, TO
q small tailor's shop on the outskirts Of the
town. When he was admitted at the door
he found lad sitting oross-legged upon
the tailor's bench, mending rent in an
old pair of psntaloOns. But this lad had
another occupation besides his manual toll.
Near By, on a small block of wood, rested
a book Of abstruse science, to which he
turned his eyes whenever they could be
transferred from the work in his hands.
The member accosted him by the name
given in the letter. and the lad replied 81
am the person" "You wish, then, to be
appointed cadet at West Point ~ 81 DO"
he rejoined. "Why" asked the Congress
man. because" answered the tailor
youth, ~ feel that was born for some
thing better than mending old clothes"
The member talked further with him, and
was so pleased with his frankness, his
spirit, and the rare intelligence he eVinced,
that he procured him the appointment.
The member is now Secretary Smith, Of
Indiana, and the youth General Burnside,
Chief Of the army Of the Po-
tomac. We should not be surprised if that
boy-an excellent specimen Of our North
ern mudsills-Were destined to hoist the
American flag to its old place on the Cap
itol at Richmond.-N z. Zoe. Post

The Ohio R ReliefAs.OcinlliOn at Washington,

A correspondent Of the Gazette writes:
1.-THE Ohio Relief Association has adopted
q plan to assist Ohio soldiers in reference to
their pay, Sc, and TO prevent impositions
upon them. They have an agent, a young
discharged soldier, at very low price per
month, whose duty it is to be at the rail
road depot, and at the Soldiers Rest
where thousands of soldiers daily are
and to direct Ohio soldiers where to get
their pay, find lodgings or procure a meal,
and 70 give them any information asked
for. The young man has badge on his
hat, in large letters, Ohio Soldiers Re
lief Association, and this attracts atten-
ton. Heis kept busy, and is doing good
service for the Ohio soldiers. Twas hap
py device, and originated from the sugges-
ton Of the Ohio soldiers friend, Mr.. Gan
geuer. It is probable that the other relief
associations Of Washington viii adopt the
same plan It is worthy to be copied by
all relief societies in Washington and in
ell our large cities. -s --

language should be used by American
journals towards Britain, when British
presses openly proclaim their willingness
