New Iron Clad Fesscls-of-War.

Sweet are the uses Of adversely. The
lesson taught bv the late naval battles IN
HAMPTON Roads has not been thrown
away upon the government OF the country.
We have lost some ships now, but the loss
viii prevent greater losses in the future
The Navy Department is awakened from
its dreams Of false security. Already it
has issued orders to clothe the new sloop-
of-war Adirondack with iron mail. This
fine vessel, With her armor on, will only
draw thirteen feet of water. We also per
ceiye that the Committee on Naval Affairs
in the Senate, who were before adverse to
the proposition submitted to them Of ex-
pending fifteen millions Of dollars on IRON
plated vessels, on the ground that they
were still an experiment, lave suddenly
changed their opinion, and will report in
favor Of the resolution. We have no
doubt that the Senate itself and the other
branch Of the legislature will see the ne
cessity Of adopting it at once. With the
Monitor and the mailed fIigate now being
fitted out at Philadelphia, the mailed frig
ate built at Mystic, Conn, and now being
finished at Greenpcnt, id this port, and
the Adirondack, we shall soon have force
sufficient for the protection Of our wooden
walls till the new vessels ordered by Con-
eress are ready for action, giving the gov
ernmeut a n val force with which it can
sweep the seas and reduce the strongest
Qualifications. Every ship-ofwar we have
ought to lee converted into steamer and
clad with iron, like tie Merrimac. The
old sailing ressels-of-war are behind the
age Not only are wooden walls useless
against iron sides, but even stone walls
must succunlb 70 such engines Of destruc-
ton as the Merrimac and the Monitor
Our forts in future must be built Of iron,
and these now in use must be plated with
it like tie new gunboats. Should war
ever break out between 4his country and
any Of The great maratime Powers Of Eu-
rope, we would Immediately have brought
to bear against us vessels like the Warrior
or LaGloire, Of the impregnable and des-
tructiye character Of which we have Just
had sample IN the performances of the
Merrimac. We have learned from our late
experiences of these iron vessels, that they
render the ordinary coast and ri er fouif-
cations Of but little use. Instead Of Law
ishing money on the erection of granite
forts and earthworks it would be better for
y for the :u!qr3 tt22-ssfend ii On the con
struction Of iron-plated vessels and floating
batteries ike the Monitor, which, from its
defeat Of the rebel ion monster, we take

The Suspension Bill,

The bank suspension bill which we no.
ticedi in back numbers, has been defeated
in the Assembly. Attorney General Howe
gave an opinion that the law would lie un-
constitutional and void, unless adopted by
vote Of the people. A new bill has been
introduced, requiring redemption in U. S.
demand notes, nominally cutting off the
privilege Of rcdeemirg in New York ex-
change
If the only object were to enable The
hanks to redeem in treasury notes, it would
be a work Of supererrogation, for they are
authorized aoag to redeem in 'lawful mon
ney Of the United States" and those notes
are made lawful money By act Of Congress.
Ofcourse then, the bin has some other
object in view, and that Object il, TO cut off
the remedy the bill holder in case they
refuse 10 redeem in trea9ury notes by an
indefinite extension ftho tine Of pleading.
If they refuse to redeem in New York cx-
change, payable in lankable currency when
he gets to New York. the bank may take
its own time to answer the cumplaint.
Ofcourse, this act, if passed, will be just
as unconstitutional and void as the other
would have been; but bankers care moth
ing about hat They can find shelter be-
hind it for one year at least, before iadg-
nent Of its unconstitutionality can be re-
yersed, and then they can get up another
law equally unconstitutional. but which
will shield them till the year rolls round
and thsy can get up another of the same
sort; and so they 90 on and have bank
ing law Of their own making, forever il
they can induce the le- islatare to act re-
gardless Of the rights, interest. and VII Of
the people and solely for the benefit OF
spectators. We predict for the bill the
same fate which befall the other hudson
