The Chicago Post states that in sd-
dition 10 the iroa- -clad gunboa;s Of Com.
Foote'S 6otilla, there have been for
some time in the course Of building q
feet Of eigM steam rams. to be added to
the Mississippi feet. Six Of them are
on the stocks at Pittsburg: the Others
at 81. Louis. They we're formerly used
as lowboats. and are the best and strong
est craft on the river. The hu:ls and
machinery are nearly new. They are
to be overi,auled snd strengll the
hulls by additional bulkheade and solid
beams Of immense strength. The bows
will be rendered almost solid msss Of
timber and iron. provided With Z pro-
jec,ing RAM which will demolish any
thing with which il may come in con-
tact. Two or three Of these formidable
war vessels are already launched. and
nearly ready for service. What arma-
ment they win carry IS not stated. bat
their great speed and immense strength
will render them more than match
for any Of the fabulous rams we hear
Of from Memphis and New Orleans.
In addition 70 these, the new gunboat
''Eastport." captured from the rebels
on The Tennessee river. will b out in
the course Of few weeks. She is at
Mound City. but owing to the flood,
work has been suspended for ihe pres
ent. She can be completed in 8 weeks.

NEW STAGE LIxE.--We are grati6ed
to learn that there have Leen some
measures taken to establish line O
coaches from Leavenworth through
Oskaloosa to Topeka. One OF the re-
quisite provisions TO secure this line t.
a certainty. is the repairing the roads
in certain places along the route. Tht
banks Of the Grasshopper at the Indian
Mill ford must be graded down 10 an
swer the purposes of crossing until the
proposed bridge can be built. There
are also other points that need working
and if the necessary work can be done
in time. you may expect . line Of coach.
es on this route early in July. These
road improvements will have to be done
BY voluntary labor. and We hope the
people all along the route will iehd .
helping hand to the enterprise. and
secure this desirable object at once
1t is not expected that other routes
through our County will be abandoned
70 eject the establishment Of this one
but it is thing that is demanded by
the interests Of large sud increasing
population along the direct road from
the metropolis to the capital.

in few minutes. While this work
was in progress the other boats OF our
flees engaged the remainder Of the re-
bel feet. A most terrific battle ragged.
Report followed report. Dense vol
umes of smoke covered the broad river
for a time, completely enveloping both
fleets. It was at this time that report
louder than usual attracted general at
tention. When the smoke lifted little
it was found that one of the enemy's
boats had been blown toatoms.
Scarcely had the excitement caused
by this event passed. when . second
like report was heard, and another re-
bel boat with her; crew disappeared. =
Both vessels were blown up by the ex-
ploaion Of shells from our guns. In their
magazines.
Under cover of the dense smoke the
remainder Of the rebel feet retired at
20 minutes after seven, the fight havisg
lasted but little over An hour. The
Cincinnati bore the brunt Of the battle.
and is 90 little damaged that 30 hours
will ct her for action. The St. Louis.

slightly damaged. and is again ready

injured in the slightest degree. The
