The Iron Gnnbont story.

The story of ten iron-clad gunboats at Mo-
bile to assist the rebels is everywhere discred-
tied and ridiculed. A dispatch from Wash
ington pronounces it stock SPECTATORS ca
nard and says -
"Washington was quite shaken from its
propriety to-day by that stupidest of canards
in regard to the appearance of a fleet of ten
iron-clad English-built gunboats off Mobile
To suppose that such fleet of ships, large
enough to cross the Atlantic, iron-cad and
armed as only governments of frst-rate pow.
or can afford, could be built in England
France, or elsewhere, outside of gov
ernment ship yards, and never attract
attention or receive notice till they ap-
pear in full panoply in American waters, is a
delusion the most gigantic of the war. The
confederate commissioners in Europe were
lately exposed, in disgraceful want of money
to pay board bills. Whence the sudden wealth
to buy iron-plated navies? May it not turn
out that Mobile has had vision of our own
gunboats steaming into her harbor by Gun.
ming Yankee trick? The navy department
has no intelligence to support the Mobile sto.
ry. 1t is wholly discredited, and believed tC
be a conspiracy to bear the stock board"
The New York Times says -
"The genius at Memphis who got up the
story Of the ten iron-cIad gunboats that hac
arrived at Mobile from England, had better
give up the business, for he has made very
bungling job of it. The creation of good
canards is an art by itself, and requirs GER
tain order Of talent. A skillful manipulation
OF bogus news calculated to make sensa-
ton, generally contrives that his inventions
shall at least possess some elements of proba-

worth and others, and the following resolution
was adopted by unanimous vote =
Resolved, That it is = critical period for our
republican government; that if it fails in this
country, it fails for the world and forever, for
there is no other arena on the face of the earth
for a renewal of the experiments therefore,
while we have entire confidence in Mr.. Lin
coin and his cabinet, we urge upon them to
use every means consistent with civilized war
fare to put down this most stupendous, wick
ed and ruinous rebellion known in the histo-
ny of the world.

Hon. E. B. WAsHBURNE, member of con-
gress from Illinois, made a brief speech to
some German friends in New York city, on
Thursday, in the course of which he said -
CHOW what do we want? l say we want
policy. We must cry Havoc and let slip the
dogs Of war; or bow in submission to jeff.
Davis. We have played war long enough
too long. We must make use of all the
means known to civilized warfare. | shall
take courage when | see general in the field
whose heart is in this cause, and who is will
ing to use these black men, either as laborers
or soldiers, in the way they can be most use
full. We want less strategy and more fight
ing. We want to use the bayonet more and
the spade less. If the administration is not
up to time, public opinion will soon bring it
| up to time. The men of the loyal states
| whose brothers and sons have shed their blood
IN tins contest, do not want this thing to 20
on tins way any longer. | have the most en-
tire confidence in our president. He may be
slow, but, gentlemen, [ really think he is sure.
l think he will come out right. | am disgust
ed with the question, what is England going
to do? What is our country to do? is the
question. How much longer are we going to
submit to the insults of that perfidious power
| believe we are prepared to-day to avenge
every insult. Our gunboats, which will be
ready in sixty days, could sweep her rotten
hulks from the ocean. Our privateers could
sweep her commerce from the seas, and our
armies could drive hers from the continent.
Why, your state (New York; could raise a
hundred thousand men in four weeks to go
into Canada, in my Judgment, beside raising
your quota for putting down the rebellion"
Mr.. Washburne concluded with an appeal
for recruits.

The QUESTION OF DRAFTING.-It is stated
in various quarters that the question of draft
ing has recently been under consideration in
high councils. Several of the heads of de-
partments have been in favor of drafting since
the call for 100000 more men was issued
The probabilities would seem TO be that no
system Of drafting by the general government
will be adopted, but that every governor who
asks for it will receive authority to draft
Gov. Tod of Ohio has already been author
lied, and has fixed the 18th of August as the
last day of grace and Gov. Kirkwood Of Iowa,
whose efforts to raise troops are thwarted to
the extent of their abilities and influence by
George w. Jones and other secession synpa-
thizers, has been empowered to draft at his
discretion within such districts as he may
think proper. Other governors, it is under
stood, who may see fit to follow the example
of these governors will receive the authority
they require from the general government.
