MEMPHIS, March l6.-The river is still rising
slowly at this point. Our forces at New Madrid
were compelled to evacuate in haste, leaving
twenty guns spiked, their tents, baggage and some
pckets. Our loss in provisions has not been as
certaned. The retreating forces were divided,
some going to Tiptonville, five miles below, and
the rest to Island No. 10. The enemy are said to
be planting battery below Tiptonyille. It is ru-
mored that Island No. 10 is to be stubbornly de-
Tended.

ing excellent suggestions:
Most of our planters, with whom we have con.
versed, state that they intend to plant only one
third of their land in cotton. This we consider
wise and prudent. Many persons are now turning
their attention to the raising of hogs This is per.
fectly right, but it will require much larger sup.
ply of corn, potatoes, pumpkins turnips, etc.
Mass-fed hogs are almost worthless To make
good bacon, The hogs must be put into pens and
fed on corn and peas for from six to nine weeks
then smoke we'll with corncob and hickory ashes.
Let this be done, and we will make as good bacon
as ever came from Smitbfield or Westphalia.
Sweet potatoes are very prolific, and is excellent
food for man and stock. Gornfield peas are even
more nutritious. Large quantities of both should
be planted. Spring oats should be sown without
stint In fact, every exertion should be used to
raise plenty of eatables, as many of our cultiva.
tors Of the soil are absent in the wars aud there is
no telling how long they will be absent and if
they are to do the fighting, most assuredly we
ought to feed them well.

TIE NAVAL DEEDS OFF NORFOLK. - The grim
Northern monster "Ericsson,n which has come in
conflict with the Southern levathan " Virginia. is
hard subject to whip, and the fight between
them would seem to be very pretty demonstra
ton of the neat problem of an irresistible force
coming in contact with an imrlovable body. We
don't see how either can whip the other and it
would be sight for lifetime to witness these two
n0ndescript monsters of the deep blazing and but
ting away at each other. The % Ericsson" " is the
product of eccentric genius. When she goes into
action the only thing exposed to the fire of ar
enemy is circular iron tower, about ten feet high
and twenty in diameter. This tower, made of nine
inches thickness of rolled iron, revolyes so as to
bring the guns to bear. In it is the whole arma-
ment of the affair consisting of two enormous guns
which are discharged through circular port holes
just large enough for the muzzle of the gun. The
main body of the vessel on which this tower stands
is submerged, so that the chances of damaging the
concern, built entirely of iron, as it is are very
small 1t is questionable whether the telegraphic
report that the Ericsson" " is a ram is not an
error. We do not remember to have seen anv
statement that she was fitte with beak attach
ment. If the "Virginia' destroys this strange and
formidable contrivance, the eclat of the feat will
ring over the world more loudly than any trump
yet sounded by the war in America.
Indeed the 'Virginian has already covered her.
self with glory by her doughty achievements in de-
stroyng three frigates, aud doing no one knows
how much other destructive work. Her last vic.
tim, the ' Minnesota" is one of her old consorts
when she was the "Merrimac," being a splendid
steam frgate Of the irstclass, rated for fortyfour
guns. Mobile Advertiser.

MONDAY MORNING, MARCH II, 1862.

We resume the publication of the Crescent to.
day ona full sheet. Circumstances we could not
in any wise control compelled us to go down to a
halfsheet, very much to our dissatisfaction. The
scarcity and cost of printing paper has of late
been frghtlul, but it was the impossibility of OBJ
tanning supplies, not the expense, which com
PEELED us to contract the ample dimensions of the
Crescent. Still, by aid of small but clear type,
we have been able to present the public with
almost as much reading matter as before, and we
think our arrangements are such that hereafter
our readers will have no reason to complain. AT
all events, we shall do our best, and we are sure
none of our readers will expect more,

has been fitting out at Norfolk for many months
past, made glorious experiment on Saturday, as

to fight soon, as we are ordered to reduce our
baggage TO the minimum quantity, the officers

THE VIHGINlA.-The following additional par
ticulars with regard to the Virginia will be read
with interest:
Once she was the pride Of the. Federal Navy,
and considered the finest of her class aloat.
Being at the Gosport Navy Yard when the fright
ened Hessians fed from that institution, they
attempted to destroy her, but failed in the under.
taking. Acting on the hint of the New Orleans
turlle," the Government determined to make
Norfolk turtle of the Merrimac, and workmen
have been busily engaged on her for nearly six
MONTHS and striking m6tamorphosis they have
effected in her general appearance. From first
class frgate she is razad down till the surace she
presents shove water is no greater than that of an
ordinary canal boat, and on that surface no balls
nor shells can take effect. Three feet below her
water lines the iron plating, four inches thick, on
solid oak twenty eight inches i'll thickness, com
mences and runs upward from each side slopng
like the roof of a house, and being, in fact, an
4 iron roof on a floating house. Nospars, no masts
no upper works of any kind, are in sight. Even
the chimneys are on spiral springs, "quashable y
without Injury, and the only place sne can be
struck is Oh her iron roof The only way of get
J ting into her is through a small hatchway, to
which is an iron door, fastening inmovahly on the
inside SO that the enemy might as well attempt to
board loggerhead turtle as her. Her armament
consists of heavy guns on each side, and one at
the bow and stern The iron cleaver in front is
supposed capable of dividing a Yankee ship iu two
equal portions with great nicely and dispatch.

direction from what was primarily intended, it
