Launch Of Another Irou.clad.

Another Ericsson battery, the
Montauk, was launched on Thurs
day from the Continental Works,
at Greenpoint. She is 200 feet long,
As feet wide, and nearly l3 feet
deep. These are very nearly the
of the other "Monitors." :"
Unusual care, however, has been be.
slowed on the construction of this
vessel. Her plates were critically
examined 10 every instance, and it
is believed that the most careful
scrutiny could not detect a flaw in
them. There is only one turret on
board the Montauk, and its dimen
sions are 21 feet inside and II inch
es thick. 1t ia in this turret that the
battery Of the vessel ia placed, and
it revolves in such a manner that
shots can DO discharged at any point
of the compass, within a few Sec
onds of each other. The turret is
cupois.shsped and on the top Of it
there is q pilot house, we'll guarded
with iron, which never moves, no
matter how rapid may be the revo'
lutions Of the cupola. The guns
will be fifteen inch bore, heavier
than any calibre now used on war
vessels, and the captain, loader and
sponger can perform their business
without fearing the intrusive en-.
trance OF On unwelcome shell, in tho
hottest battle. There are five inch
es OF iron on the hall, besides the
usual solid wooden frame, which is
riveted and screwed none the less
carefully because there is shot
proof guard covering it. The ma
chinery Of the vessel is also out oi
harms way, being, it is said, mac
cessiblc to any description Of ammu
milton. 1t works in great manner
like the machinery Of wooden chips
and is managed in nearly the sam,
manner.

The Ericsson brings nothing new, ex.
cept that the Burnside expedition was

assas ; and that jefferson Davis is to take
command in person, Of the troops at
Manassas, after his Inauguration as Pres
ident, on the 22d of February.
The greatest panic prevails at Norfolk
and Richmond in regard TO the Burnside
expedition.
When the Ericsson left Hatteras Inlet
the weather was too rough to land troops.
Mr.. Tyler says he was accompanied
by detective to Norfolk, who was very
watchful not TO let him carry any papers
with him. From this it is supposed
they must have obtained some important
infrmalion.
1t was understood at Richmond tina,
Gen. Beauregard would reach there on
Saturday, on his way to Kentucky.
The opinion at Richmond was that the
Merrimac was failure.

Receiving Notes OF the State Bank.

G1- Our State House of representa-
tives have passed bill authorizing the
payment Of taxes in the Demand Treas.
ury Notes Of the United States, and in
notes Of the State Bank OF Iowa. So far
as the provisions Of the bill relate to the
Treasury Notes, we have no objection to
offer. BY il we assist to keep up the
credit Of the government, and in that
much assist TO put down rebellion. We
shall have a large tax to pay over to the
Genera! Government, and that tax may
be collected and paid over in hese notes,
thus enabling us to use no small portion
of them. If it should eventually result
in sacrifice, it will be patriotic sacri-
fice-oae which will result to the bene-
fit Of the government, whose difficulties
we are proud to bear, as it is our duty TO
DO. But we are under no obligations TO,
and have no restraint upon, our State
banks, and are offering an inducement
10 them Tor an undue expansion Of their
circulation. Now, under the monetary
pressure, they are contracting their cir
culation, and endeayoriug TO operate
with proper regard to circumstances.
This bill will open 10 them an excuse
and an opportunity for expansion that
may eventually end in their ruin and our
great loss, and in this loss we but bcne-
