IRoN-CLAD BoATs.-Great interest is now being
manifested by the ladies and others in Richmond,
Wilmington and Charleston in buildidg iron-clad
boats to defend those places. We hope they will
promptly move in the patter. It has been sug.
gested to us that should move in getting up one
to be built at Norfolk, to be taken through the Al
bemarle and Chesapeake Canal to operate in Abe
marie and Pamlico Sounds. But we doubt whether
one to do efficient service could be built of such
light draft as to be taken through the Canal 1t is
well, however, to look into it.

who knows him would believe that he failed or
would fa either in irmness or patriotism but ON the

man OF good fair sense and fair principles, made
decent member Of Congress, and would acqut him
