'lasSes
How the Rebel Steamer M9rrimac is
to be Sunk

In the debate in the Senate on the
Stevens floating battery, Senator Pom
! eroy, Of knnsaS, expressed the opinion
that it will soon be demonstrated that
any wooden vessel, any large ocean
steamer for instance, can run down
such a battery as the Virginia and
sink her. He said if he was the cap
tain of the Minnesota, he would tighten
her, except at the stem, and put her at
the highest speed, and run upon the
Virginia and sink her. The Boston
Commercial -BuIIetjo says on the sub
.ject: s
SsIf the Minnesota, or any other yes
sci of the same size should run bows
on with q speed Of twelve knots an
hour, striking the MerFimac on her
broadside, she would sink her AS for
instance, in 1880, the ship Columbian,
500 tons, lying at Damon's wharf,
Charleston, parted her bow hawser,
and swinging with the tide, run against
the CharlestoWn bridge, and cut it
through. In 1881, the ship Eli Whit
ney, of 400 tons, coming up with her
three topsails set, run three quarters Of
her length into the end Of Long Wharf
In 1850. a ship going up to the docks
in Liverpool, became unmanageaOle,
and run into the stone pier-head NOV
inc the stones some twelve or fifteen
feet, and doing but comparatively lit
tie damage to the ship. We believe
there is tact and skill enough in our
navy to dispose Of the Merrimac if she
ventures out Of Norfolk"
These sagaciouS and prophetic hints
are getting common, and since half the
people hereabouts already know what
the project to be tried in Hampton
IC0adS Is, ana U1I0 IoDuiss~ rsstili3tG<,-
tionably informed on the subject, there
can be no harm III printing the fact
that the ocean steamers. Vanderbilt
and Arago have been armed with
strong iron prows, and are now await
ing the appearance Of the Virginia to
try upon her the experiment suggested.
It is also stated that their upper works
are protected by a covering Of cotton
bales, which are more impervious to
cannon balls than iron. The expert
ment will be q novel and exciting one,
and Il it shall turn ont that iroq-clad
vessels can thus be destroyed by yes
sells Of superior speed and momentum,
new and important elements will be in
troduced into the calculation Of the
value Of mailed ships Of war. The
Virginia is undoubtedly ready to come
out, and if she does not soon appear,
1t will indicate that the rebels have lost
confidence in her impregnabi!ity.

ball partly spent, rjcbochets and rolls
with just the same force as though il
had been rolled by mans hand, and
no more. The force depends upon its
weight and velocity, Of course.
Mortal wounds, however, without
any bloodshed or breach of the skin,
are not generally made by spent balls,
but by those having great velocity,
and according to my theory, they
should be more frequent by the smooth
bore than by rifed cannon, The balls
rotate swiftly on the axis as they fly,
and III directions according to the
forces acting upon them as they leave
the gun. Now take thirty two pound
shot and hold it before a mans thigh
Oh the outside, or before his ribs, in
such wise that if you push 1t forward,
and he stand firm, the ball will pass,
by reason Of bis flesh yielding, one
inch that is, by being pressed inward
one Inch. The ball will thus have pass
ed through q space before occupied by
hesh or bone, because it passed slow
ly, or the parts yielded, and no harm
lS done. But II that same man is stand
ing firmly, and that same thirty-four
pound ball, rushing swift as lightning,
strikes him in the same direction, it
may roll over the skin without break
ING it, but may, nevertheless, dash it
inward with such sudden shock as to
paralyze all vital action, aud even crush
the bone. Jove's thunderbolt could
not strike d man dead more suddenly,
OF leave less scars.
Sometimes it is found that the inter
nal parts are rnptured, marked, or ev-
Ell pummeled to q jelly, though there
were no outward marks. Generally,
however. the discoloration shows itself
plainly on the surface in q short time
after death. War has real terrols
enough ; and q moving cannon ball is
a fearful missile bat we should get
rid Of all super stil1ous aD0uL H.
