An article appeared not long ago in one o.
the British periodicals showing that fortified

with iron and made entirely impervious to the
assault of floating iron batteries. OF the two

superior. The South, which has shown the
world what can be done by iron clad vessels
should now make an exhibition of the practi
cability of iron clad land defsnees, We would
suggest TO the ladies of Richmond that they
should devote the iron intended for their gun
boat to this purpose, and we call the attention
of the Government and of the city authorized
of Richmond to the necessity OF srming IL

officer, with few marksmen, took it OF. 9

twelve hundred yards it was as reliable as
most guns at three hundred. TIE inventor
of this gun lives within stones throw of

it introduced. At las. he has succeeded. The
