which he was not retained. BY means VI
this he has acquired more thorough

honorable to himself, and satisfactory to

OUR NAVAL POWER IN IRoN-CLADs.-
According to the New York Times, the entire
strength of our navy is close upon three
hundred vessels, nearly all of which are pro-
PEELED by steam among these are two iron
clad frigates, twenty-three iron clad gun
boats, and good stock of the highly effective
naval weapon, the ram. We quote:
Of the latter the number can be increased
indefinitely and at any moment. All we
have to do is to fit beak on to any staunch
steam craft, plate its most vulnerable parts,
and it is ready for service in sinking and des-
troying wooden walls, or whatever else it can
get drive at. In this way the magnificent
ocean steamer Vanderbilt was fitted up in a
short time in this port and sent d own to
| Hampton Roads for tilt with the Merrimac
and the river ram fleet OF Col. Ellet was also
turned out in the same way. In case of a
contest with naval power, the ram, we be.
leve, would be one of the most formidable
weapons.
We believe that these three hundred armed
vessels are match for any naval force that
any one or any two foreign Powers could
send to these shores and that the same time
they could keep the rebels in easy check
We have, or will have directly, larger mum
Der of iron clad vessels than England and
France combined, and of far more availa
Bile and destructive kind. Upon these we
look as the best guardians of our liberty, our
Union and our independence, from any and
all foreign Intermediates.

A THRILLING SOESE"
r,o Springfield Republican, in its ac'

The Springfield Republican, IN It's ac-
-, Of war meetings in the western
W. w. of the State, describes the following
tinteresting and touching scene =
.oooa Of the most touching, tender and
raowinr war meetings of all this re-
os ', was held last Monday evening in
VT W. Springfield, at the First Congre ga
,;oOal Church, The people over there
Wv W. feeling deeply for about 40 of their
az az, brothers, fathers and husbands be-
i Sv" to the glorious 10th and 9th

ars serving their country among compa-
90 from New York and Connecticut
A. previously announced, Rev, Roswell
Roster. of Chickopee Falls, made the
arincipal speech, exhorting. by historical
EMISSIONS, the ladies to higher patriotism
~ living up their husbands, brothers and
sons.
After him came words of weight and
rower from the clergy of the place. All
aid well-but the GROWING glory of the
occssien was the simple, natural elo-
ouence Of four hereto young men, all
heads of families, and fathers of children.
men of strength, stamina and influence,
who backed their advice by that most
conclusive of all arguments, consistent ac-
ton. Publicly they subscribed the en-
hstment roll, and publicly pledged their
Il;ves, fortunes and sacred honor
The first man to enroll himself that
evening was householder and practical
armer-one of the select men of the
town, and church member of % years
standing. He spoke feelingly and point
edly. and in allusion to his official honors,
his church connections, his family ties,
his love of home, and the loss of darling
child, he swayed the auditory as the
storm-cloud does the forest. Almost ev-
cry eye was suffused with tears, and eve
~ heart stirred to its Utmost depths.
The spectacle was as thrilling and sub
lime as unexpected The next day the
quota of &c was nearly filled, and yester-
day morning this brave patriot band left
home amid the blessings and prayers OF
friends, for camp at Worcester.
Nearly all are men of family-some Of
farms and wealth. They will be missed
at home, in the community, in the church
and Sabbath school. They are mostly
sterling men, loyal every inch, true a;
steel, and sure to make their mark on the
foe. 1t will be rare honor and priv
lege to serve in such a company and witt
such men-for rarely have men made
greater sacrifice of social ties, comfort an(
property. Rarely have men gone to the
defense of their country, in its darkest
hour of peril, surrendering SO many cords
of affection. We shall watch the move
ments of these volunteers with interest
for some of them are the best of mission
aries. God bless these noble men, ant
cover their heads in the day of battle.

Of the court martial which tried Com. Tatnall
on charge OF culpable destruction of the
Merrimac. He was awarded an honorable
acquittal.
The Enquirer of the oath has an editorial
on Lincon's double policy and his perjury,
in which it is said that the usurpations of the
government that sits at Washington have
been so great and radical as to totally dis
solve any bonds which may have been sup
posed to bind us TO the Northern States.-
The people are called npon to endure the
most extreme disasters and make any sacri-
fee, even of life itself, sooner than yield toa
foe SO disgusting and so malignant.
