The Rebel Iron Clads.


The Arkansas, which recently ran
the gauntlet of our squadron in the Mis-
sissippi-consisting of fifteen vessels,
carrying 200 heavy guus-is thus de.
scribed by correspondent of the N. Y.
Tribune
The Arkansas, which is a ram as
well as a boat, is not more than half
as large as one Of Davis's gun boats is
low and fat coUered ,eiih double rail,oay
iron TraiD; built with slanting sides,
without decks or any opening or aper-
lures save the ports; carries - large
guns, three on each side, two forward
and two aft; has one chimney; and looks
almost if not quite, invulnerable, She
is of a light brown or reddish brown
hue, much like the banks of the Mis-
sissippi, and at distance could not we'll
be distinguished therefrom.
No human being was visible on or
about her, as she passed down the river,
though her guns we're promptly and ac
curately fred, and her unseen sharp
shooters directed their pieces at every
man they could see within range. The
sharpshooters were very Industrious aud
energetic, and their balls we're consta Mt
ly whistling through the air, though
their sharp note was generally swallow
cd up in the deep roar or loud shrek OF
the heavy guns.

proportioned face, and yet fall very far
short of beauty; and it is equally pos
sible for a countenanco to he wrong in
some Of its proportions, and leave an
impression Of beauty on our miGds.-
But any one, in this last case, will be q
great sufferer, in going through the pho
tographic process. As the two like

they will astonish all who look at them.

most expressive countenances suffer
most, invariably; little happy touch Of
expression is phenomenon one hardly
ever remembers to haze seen caught in a
Photographic portrait. Ifthe face be left
to take its chance, so to speak, a heavy
or mOurnful look is the usual result; and
if any particular expression be attempt

ace--a truth of which we constantly see
illustrations in the portraits of those
engaged in the theatrical profession,
when some special expression hos been
attempted. People Of mediocre abilities
as people of mediocre beauty, will come
off best in. sitting for their photographs.
They will astonish us by looking so
clever, as the others by looking so pret-

often astonish us the other way. 1t is
as difficult to give mans outside, with
all we know of it, in portrait, as to pro-

SANITARY COMMISSION Rooms,
CINcINNATI, June goth '62.
AS the season for putting up fruit is
rapidly advancing, this Commission
wonld urge the Importance of liberal
supply being prepared, and in a safe
manner for transportation.
From the experience of the year,
we are able to make some suggestions
as to the best manner of putting up
and forwarding such delicacies.
CANNED ERUIT.
There need be no fear of sending too
many prepared Blackberries, Rasp-
berries, Peaches and Cher ries. 1t is
better to put them in tin cans, careful
ly soldered. Glass q too apt to break
but stone jars, glazed on the inside,
answer well, where tin is not conven-
lent. Great care, however, is necessa-
ry, 10 have the jars perfectly sealed,
and packed by themselves in Boxes
The Blackberry crop promises to be
very abundant this season, and it is de-
sirable that an extra quantity of this
healthy fruit be put up in the various
forms of Gaming, drying, and jams.
DRIED FRUITS.
Apples, Peaches, Blackberries, Cher.
ries, Raspberries, &C., have also been
used in large quantities, and we have
never found we had too many.
JELLIEs.
Currant Jelly, Ounce, Grape and
Crab.applo Jellies, ore most needed,
but great care should be taken in pack
ing. Large boxes should never be
used, and small jars are preferable to-
tumblers, on account of their not breals-
ing so easily. The jars should be pack
ed with top up, and the boxes marked ::
" This SIDE up Nth care
WINES.
Catawba Wine, Currant and Black
berry, are extensively used in our Hos
pitals, particularly the Catawba and
Blackberry; and are highly recommend
ed by Physicians. Glass bottles or
glazed stone jugs, if properly packed
in sawdust or straw, will reach us in
safety.
In regard to all the above, we would
make one general remark be careful
to label every jar with the name of the
contents. Very great Inconvenience
has been experienced the past season
from this omission. Never pack glass
or earthen jars in boxes with clothing,
if you can possibly avoidi it. Frequent
ly, valuable clothing has been ruined
by the bursting or breaking of the
jars.
In regard to articles .of clothing most
needed at the present time, We name,
plain cotton shirts and drawers wooden
socks, stout shoes, and slippers with
leather soles. Other articles in use by
soldiers never come amiss, and can be
well appropriated.
1t is hardly necessary to say, that
experiments in canning Meats and
Chickens have proved a complete fail
urc.

DETECTION OF JERE CLEMENS. The
Atlantic (Ga) Commonwealth thus
hearalds the detection of one of the
shining lights of the Southern Confed
eracy
The numerous admirers of the gift
ed Alabamian (Jere Clemens) will
learn with feelings of the deepest regret
that he has forsaken the Confederate
cause, and given in his allegiance to
the Lincoln Government. He was in
Huntsville at the time of his capture
by the Yankees and made no effort to
escape. Only a few weeks after their
arrival lie became very intimate with
the commanding General, and now goes
about the streets representing the
Southern cause in its worst light an d
endeavoring to persuade all his friends
to join with the Federal cause. so far
he has only found four of the citizens
of Huntsville who were so destitute Of
principle and honor as to link their
destiny with the destroyer of our homes
and our peace, This comes from a
source entitled to the highest credit.

The Cotton Calamity in England is
reaohing an appalling crisis. The Cen
tral Committee, for tho relief of tho
distressed operatives 10 the cotton man
ufacturinG districts, met at Manchester
on the 26th ultimo, and, after discussing
the present position and future pros
poets of the trade, it was resolved to
appeal to the nation to mitigate the ex-
isting distress. This is most convine.
ing and affecting proof that the calami-
ty is felt to be beyond the reach Of
private or loyal benevolence. The i'm
ports Of cotton for the month which
ended the slst Of May, 1862, amounted
to only 337 ,943 cwts., against | zoe, ,4O2
cwis., in 1861, aud l,536,6O9 cwts, in
1861. The falling off in the hrst Eve
months is equally dsplorabla, the im-
ports having been only 1867 ,ssl cwts..
whist in the corresponding period Of
1862 they amounted to ) sos, ,ss5 cwts.,
and in 1850 to 0,297 ,O57 cwtr.

Gen. Henry w. Hallock.


Maj. Gen. HALLECK, now Command
erin Chief Of the Armies of the United
States, is about AZ years of age. He
was born in Weston, Oueida county,
New York, where his grandfather-one
hundred years old, and hale and hearty
lately resided. Gen. Haleck's
father was the Hon.. Joseph Halleck,
who died about three years since. Gen.
HaIleck entered the Military Academy
as West Point cadet in 1885, stood
third in the class, and vas brevctted
second lieutenant of engineers July,
1889. He was acting professor of en-
gineering at the Military Academy from
July, 1889, to June, 1870. In 1871
he was the author of work on " Btu
men and its Uses" &c. In January,
l845, he was appointed first lieuten-
ant, and during the year he was select
ed by the committee of the Lowell In
stitute, at Boston, to deliver one of the
regular course of lectures, the subject
being =" Military Science and Art."-
These lectures he compiled in neat
volume during the following year, ad-
ding thereto lengthy introduction on
the Justifableness Of War" The
work contains much valuable elemen-
tary instruction, as well as abundance
Of historical illustrations, and is writ
ten with ability. In 1847 he was brec
vetted Captain for gallant conduct ia
affairs with the enemy on the nine
teenth and twentieth days of Novem
ber, 1917, aud for meritorious service
in California. He was Secretary of
State of the Territory of California un-
der the military governments of Gems.
kearney, Mason. and Riley, from 1847
to the end of1S49. He was Chief of
the Staff of Commodore Shubrick in
the naval and military operations on
the Pacific coast in 1847 and 184S, and
was member of the Convention, in
l849, to form, aud of committee to draft
the Constitution of the State of Cali
fornia. In July, 1858, he was ap-
pointed Captain of Engineers, and re-
signed August l, 1854. His career
since the commencement of the rebel
lion is so fresh in the memory of the
people that no reference is needed. In
the Department of the West General
Halleck displayed unity of military
and civil executive capacity such as no
other commander in the service has yet
exhibited. 1t is to be hoped that the
same energy, sagacity and comprehen-
siveness that characterized his admin
istration in the West may distinguish
his career in the higher and more cx-
tensive sphere which he is now called
