Monday was n bustling day at Fortress Mon
roe, especially rs several movements of import
ance took place. The arrival in the Roads.
from New York, of the iron-clad gunboat Man.
tank, was matter of common congratulation,
and number of officers from Old Point went
aboard and were entertained by Captain Wor-
den, who commands the new steamer.
The Adelaide, whichrcached Baltimore yester1
day, brought the constructors of the vessel,
Messrs. Griffin and Isaac Newton, who accom-.
panied her on the trip, which was made In
thirty-six hours. In consequence of very heavy
weather the Montauk was anchored several
days near the Delaware. Whilst at sea, the
wind blowing fresh, the turrct was qulte thor
oughly tested and the result pronounced satis-
factory. In rough weather the motion of the
vessel Ia reported "noyel and rather disagrcea-
ble."
The iron -clad Monitor, In tow of the side
wheel steamer Rhode Island, and the Passaic,
towed by the steamer State of Georgia, went to
sea yesterday, and were followed by the British
frigate Melpomone, of hfty-two guns. The
officers of the latter. who have cultivated
GERS, have been led TO believe that the boats are
going TO operate at some point not far from the
coast OF North Carolina, and they are, no
doubt, anxious to witness the action.
The Adelaide brought up a large number of
women and children, who, for some time past,
have been permitted to remain near the brigade
OF Gen. Negley. That command, however, re.
ceived orders to embark In transports for parts
unknown, and therefore they were compelled
to leave.

MISSOURI l.HelsLArunE.
THs oovERyoEs MESSAGE,

Or. LouIs, No., December 30.---The Govern.
or's message has been submitted. Amer con-
gratulating the Legislature upon the fact that
st last lovsl general Assembly has been con-
vcncd, the Governor reviews the condition of
the besss since the outbreak Of the rebellion,
snd says that the number of volunteers from
Missouri, after the casuaifics Of war and mutt
ny, leaving out the irrcgularly enlisted troops,
Is twenty-seven thousand 1--WE hundred men,
which, with ten thousand fiye hundred State
militia, gives the total OF the State at thirty
eight thousand men In service for the war.
The enrolled militia numbering flfty-two thou
sand, gives the State a grand total Of ninety
thousand. % .. no
The Governor says that he has long been con-
vinced that the material interests OF the State
Of Missouri would be advanced by substituting
free for slave labor, and recommends plan by
which the children of slaves born after the pas
sage OF an act shall be free; but are to remain
under the control Of their mothers until they
have arrived at certain age. The owners to
be compensated for the diminished value of the
slave mothers after they are thus rendered in
capable Of bearing slave children.
During the discussion OF tho emancipation
question the Governor says that the Legislature
cannot constitutionally adopt any scheme by
which the owners Of slaves can be divided into
classes, and slaves Of one class be enamel ted
without compensation, while compensation can
be provided for the other class.

On the Sth inst, Mr.. Leetham, VI. p, ad-
dressed his constituents at HuddcrsGeld. lie
spoke In reference TO the American war, as
follows
They were not in position, with their very
limited information as to the effect of the
blockade upon the South, to predict how long
the heroic ragamufilns, of which the Southern
armies were composed, would be able to pro-
long the unequal contest. Yet he thought II
was certain that, unless the mind of America
should change, and the Democratic party there
should prevail upon the North tc shrink from
those sacrifices and efforts which were ncces-
sary to Insure success, or unless Europe should
interfere to break the blockade, the process that
was now silently and surely going on must
ultimately end In the complete prostratlon and
exhaustion of the South.
Nothing could he more offensive to high
spirited people like the Americans, than the
cold dissection of their policy on the part of
those who stood aloof from their passions and
fears, and who, perchcd npon an cminencc of
security, amused themselves by shooting keen
arrows Of ridlcue In the midst of men who
were struggling for their lives. But, for other
reasons, II was necessary they should slft this
question. 1t was necessary they should do so
because the position of neutrality that this
country had wisely assumed-and all honor to
the Government for the steadiness with which
they had adhered TO that neutrality which was
endangered by the eager psrtlZanship Of those
who, pot content with taking side upon this
question, weTe 9nYlons TO carry their sympathy
forward into action.

" What IL H."

A submarine battery bearing this name was
launched at New York on Saturday morning.
Tho following description of 1t Ia given by the
Commercial AdV6rfiser:
"The appearance Of the battery Is novel for
an armed vessel. II resembles a lurge dry
goods case, with an addition on one side, In
which the port hole, through which the gun
protrudes, Ia situated. The gun, however, will
be covered by sort Of porch, the use and regu-
lation OF which II would not be proper to print.
EgrcSs and ingTess are obtained through the
top with ladder. When afoat II Is presumed
that there will be sort of permanent convent
rnce for getting in and out. The interior of
the battery Is very like that of turret, as far
as dimensions and unburdened room are con-
cerned. There Is no 'shipshape' at all about
the hull, which, as already stated, 10 like box.
The wooden stalla, In which horses are trans.
ported to and from Europe, might be mistaken,
by a hayward laborcr, for the great curiosity
which has SO bewildered them for months.
There Is, at present, no armor on, but il is said
that some inches of iron plating will he put
over the sides In few days. The gun will al
so he mounted in q short time. Lieutenant
Hunt, TO whose inventive genius the construc-
tion of the monster must be attributed, belongs
to the engineer corps. The strange-looLing
piece Of ordinance which Is to constitute the
armament is as great n riddle as tho thing it.
self II Ii made of brass or composition, aud
will be rihed. The ball which II will discharge
is even more curious than the gun or the YES
sci. Its shape and dimensions must remain
unpublished. The location of the battery,
when completed, has not yet been decided on.''

We TAKE The following from the Baltimore
ADiericm;
at is stated that, by constructing a canal
about three fourlhs of mile In length, from
Big Stone Lake 10 Lake Trayer, steamboats,
from 81. Panl could navigate the Minnesota
river and the Red river of the North TO Lake
Winnipeg, distance of seven hundred miles.
The country traversed by these rivers Is sur
passingly fertile and capable of sustaining a
dense population. Lake Winnipeg is larger
than Lake Ontario, and receives the Sas-katch-
a-wan river from the West. The Sas-katch-a-
wan river Is nsyigable TO point Edmonton
House, near the Rocky Mountains, 700 miles
west Of Lake Winnipeg, and only 100 mites
east Of the celebrated gold dggings on Frazer
river, in British Columbia. The digging of
that one mile Of canal would, therefore, enable
q Steamboat at New Orleans to pass into Lake
Winnipeg, and from thence TO Edmonton
House, some 1000 miles. A bill has been in
troduccd into III. United States Senate which
makes provision for the building of the canal"
