ENGLISH IRON CLAD VEssEIs.-E. J. Reed,
British sbipbuider, writes 10 the London

tion of a new class Of small iron clad sea-

which the British Government seem to have
ordered quite feet. The Times says. ed.

tion by the Government:

cution Of which our correspondent has him.

blow to wooden shipbuilding. HencefOrth
not 80 much as gunbOat will be built Of
mere timber.
Mr.. Reed. says: Corvettes, slOOps and
gunboats can only receive partial proteo-
tion. Recognizing this. have endeavor-
ed TO make the best possible use of the ar
NOR which such vessels carry, aud have
employed 1t in shielding. both from she'll
and from ordinary sbot, the following vital
parts, viz: the engines and boilers, the
guns, the magazine, the rudder.bead, the
steering apparatus, and the whole length
of the ship between wind and water. How
do this is q question which must res.
pectfully decline to answer for the present.

ject, may be of real advantage to us.

LETTER FROM Discussed REBEI.-The
following extracts from a letter found by
the men of our aotilla on their late trip up
the RappahannOck are full of interest The
writer lie Thomas B. Roane, of Tappahan-
mock, Captain in the rebel army:
TAPPAHANNocK, March q, 1862.
DEAR--: did not receive your letter
of the llth ultimO until about the 2Sth, land
then was lying on bed of sickness at
camp. Our company has for the last four
or five months done the duty of three com
panies. We now have line of videt,e

dred miles; besides we have three posts at

WEST POINT BATrLE.-GOvernO Sprague
says the bate at West Point, under Frank.
lin was much more severe than reported;
that at least five hundred of our men were
taken prisoners, the enemy taking advan-
tage Of the landing Of our troops. The
gunbOats came up in good time and saved
Franklin from severe disaster. A cores
pondent of the Boston Journal says: 1.-THE
character OF the battle is quite well illus
trated by the fact that Of the men who we're
bit One-lhird were killed; the ordinary pro-
portion being one IN five, sometimes irac.
tion more. 1t was a very unsatisfactory
fight, says one Of the surgeons; most deci-
dedly it was, for nobody could get tOler-
able clear idea OF what was going on, or
the slightest notion Of the number or char.
acteI of the enemy. But light breaks upon
the subject now. Some prisoners have been
examined at General Franklin's headquaT.
ters, and and from their story it appears
that the enemy had foil 10000 men, of
which one division only were actually en-.
gagged, the remainder being held in reserve.
They bad also forty pieces of artillery,
which, it appears, they we're unable to get
into position-only two or three light pie
ces aud one rihed gun having been brought
to bear upon the field. This was misfor-
tune for the enemy which be bad not calcn-
lated upon"

INDIAN MURDER AND ABDucrrox.-A dis

patch, dated al Chico, June 25tb, says:
Thomas Allen, teamster for J, L. Keefer,
Of Mud creek, was killed and scalped by To-
dians this afternoon, on bis way down from
Morril's Saw Mill. The mules he was dri-
wing. alsO. reported killed. A ranch Iudian
Of Keefer's, in company with Allen, was
shot and badly wounded in the arm, but es-
capped and brought the news to the valley.
Three children belonging to a family named
HeacOck, near where the murder was per-
petrated, were captured by the Indians,
who are probably the same who have been
committing depredatiOns on Butte creek.
The children we're away from home, and q
party who went in pursuit have found The
horse killed on which they were riding, aud
also found portions of the clothing of the
two girls, torn off by the bushes as they
were hurried'away by their cap1Ors. Much
excitement exists, and large party will go
in pursuit at daylight tomorrow.

A DISCOURSE ON YANKEEs.- The Little
Rock (Ark.l True Democrat thus discOur-
seth on the Yankees who have pitched their
tents in that State:
We are told that the Yankees have re-
Trained from STEALING. as general thing,
10 the counties they occupy. They often do
this wnen first coming into country TO lull
the people into security, and to induce them
to let their property remain.
The Northern papers give great many an
ecdOtes of personal daring among their
soldiers Some Of them are. doubtless, reg
ular MunchauseDs, and the others are exag-
gerated, but there is truth enough in q few
of them to make US wonder what our peO-
pie are about The Yankees have impu-
dence and cunning, aud relying upon these
they will undertake ventures that boldeT
men would shrink from. We had hoped
that we were rid Of the Federals, but 1t ap-
pears that they are in the valleys Of the
White and Black rivers in considerable force.
These valleys are The richest farming pOr-
tions of our State, abOunding In corn,
wheat and other grains, and having numer-
Gus large mills. These are in possession of
the enemy. The truth will be found to be
that the great body of Curtis army has
gone to Tennessee, leaving some 5000 or
10, 900 above MS. This force, being starved
out in Missouri, has ventured into the rich
valleys Of Arkansas to procure food. There
is nothing TO induce them 10 come here.

MoDEL OF THE MoNTToR.-A mechanic Of
this city has under construction an exact
model Of the Monitor, turret aud all. The
model is to be 30 feet in length, aud the OBJ
ject Of its construction is to carry it in the
Fourth of July procession, the Committee
of Arrangements having agreed TO furnish
a truck and team for the purpose. As the
Monitor is an American invention, and 81
its advent has wholly TevoluliOnized the
art Of naval warfare, II is eminently prop
er that lie model should form portion Of
the display on our national holiday. The
builder. who is q worthy mechanic, is TAX
ing up subscriptions to pay the expenses Of
bnilding the model. which will cost $400 in
addition to the work given by several me-
ehanies. The curious can see 1t on Drumm,
near Sacramento street. 1t will be ready
for the paint by Saturday.-[S. =. Jour-
