THE ERICSSON BATTERY MONITOR

The spirited naval engagement at Hampton
Roads proves one Of the most exciting events
of the war. The telegraph furnished consid-
cradle information in regard TO the first days
conflict and the consequent disasters to the
Cumberland, Congress, and Minnesota Con-
corning the terrible fight on Sunday, between
the two floating batteries, the Monitor and the
Merrimac the dispatches were provokingly
meager. But after reading the account of the
exploits of the rebel battery on Saturday, ev-
cry one was satisfied with the brief and au
thentic intelligence that the Monitor had enter.
ed the lists, and after severe fight OF five
hours duration, compelled the Wanted Merri-
mac to Withdraw TO Norfolk, in sinking con-
dition. 1t is unnecessary to speculate now
on the different results which might have hap"
pened, had it not been for the opportune and
effective interpositon of the Ericsson battery
A New York journal graphically pictures the
acene of the rebel iron clad monster quietly
vending its way into the harbor of that city,
and menacing the safety OF the great CONNER
cial emporium. This is an exaggerated sup
position, without doubt, for the sea going quail

the timely action OF the Monitor has prevented
the further progress of the agent OF destruc.

in tue success of his invention He certainly
will receive the grateful thanks OF the people,

OF the Ericsson battery Monitor -
DESCRIPTION OF THE VESSEL
The designer and builder OF the Monitor
was Capt Ericsson, famous in connection

is SWede by birth, but his remarkable and
persevering scientific efforts have been carried
on principally in New York tor the last ten
years.
BY an act of congress, passed last summer,
the secretary of the navy was authorized 10
advertise for proposals to build one or more
iron-clad vessels, all proposers to furnish their
own plans. An appropriation of 81 SOC, 900
was made to build such vessels, providing that
the plans met with the approval of three COM
handing officers of the navy. The board APP
pointed consisted OF Commodores Jos. Smith,
Hiram Paulding, and Capt. Charles H. Davis.
Capt Ericsson sent in plan which was ac-
cepted, with the understanding that the YES
sci was to be finished in one hundred days

OF October, aud so rapidly was the work per
