HEADQUARTERS EPARTMEST OF TIT MISSISSIPPI, |
/. CAMP on THE CcKINTH ROAD, May Is, lSG2. (
The New York herald., 1862-03-14

The NAVY DEPARTMENT CALLED TO ACCOUNT
At the meeting of the New York Chamber of
Commerce on Wednesday it was resolved ''that
in the opinion of this Chamber the chief cause
of this disaster (the destruction of life and pro-
perty committed by the rebel iron-clad steamer
Merrimac in Hampton Roads) lies in the culpa-
BILE neglect in which the naval defences Of
Hampton Roads were suffered to remain, after
the knowledge of the near completion" of said
rebel iron-clad steamer. This accusation is
levelled at Secretary Welles, and we shall be
glad to hear what defence he can advance
against it. He was we'll informed of the intend
ed experimental trip of the Merrimac; he knew
that she was a dangerous customer; and if he
could have done nothing else to render her per-
fectly harmless, he could have ordered the sink
ing of an old hulk or two in the narrow channel
Of Elizabeth river, which would have suficed to
shut up this deep draughted rebel monster in the
harbor Of Norfolk to the end of the war. If
this simple contrivance has not yet entered the
head of the venerable Secretary, we would call
his attention to it. 1t may not yet be too late
to lock up that rebel monster; otherwise she
may slip out in the dark.

THE TAX BnL--Ir OUGHT TO BE PASSED IMME-
p1ArELY.-The Tax bill, which has been publish
ed, displays remarkable amount of industry
and sagacity, and it is, on the whole, as good
measure as could be expected under oil tho
circumstances. Mr.. Stevens and the other mem
bers Of the Committee Of Ways and Means
have been unjustly assailed by journals
in New York calling themselves republican, but
sympathizing with secession and revolution.
There might possibly be improvements made in
few of the details of the bill; but it is proba-
BILE that, in waiting to improve some points; the
bill might be altered for tho worse in Others
II would be endless to discuss all the details,
and il would be productive Of no good. Let
the bill be passed, therefore, at once. The ne
cessites of the government and the country re-
ouire it, Tho people are in favor of it, and
there are none to oppose it but the radical re-
volutiouary republican journals who desire to
arrest the progress of the war and allow the
Union to be permanently dissolved or to revo-
lutionize the government and introduce reign
of anarchy and disorder. The very crumbs
that fall from our tables, the excess Of meats
cooked beyond what are required, the surplus
cloths and useless ornaments worn by both
sexes, together with cxtravagauts furniture,
would more than pay the whole tax without its
effects being felt by any potion Rat.a2ap II
The New York herald., 1862-03-14
we had to make sacrifices, let us consider the
grandeur of the cause which demands them,
and every murmur shall be hushed.

New IRoN-CIAD VEssEIs-oF- WAR--Sweet are
the uses of adversely. The lesson taught by
the late naval battles in Hampton Roads has
not been thrown away upon the government or
the country We have lost some ships now, but
the loss will prevent greater losses in the fu-
ture. The Navy Department is awakened from
its dream Of false security. Already it has issued
orders to clothe the new sloop-of-war Adiron-
dack with iron mall This fine vessel, with her
armor on will only draw thirteen feet of wa
ter. We also perceive that the Committee on
Naval Affairs in the Senate, who were before
adverse to the proposition submitted to them
of expending fifteen millions of dollars oniron-
plated vessels, on the ground that they were
still an experiment, have suddenly changed
their opinion, and will report in favor of the
resolution. We have no doubt that the Senate
itself and the other branch of the legislature
will see the necessity of adopting it at once.
With the Monitor and the mailed frigate now
being fitted out at Philadelphia, the mailed
frigate built at Mystic, Conn., and now being
Adirondack, we shall soon have force
sufficient for the protection of our wooden
walls till the new vessels ordered by Congress
are ready for action, giving the government
e naval force with which it can sweep the
seas and reduce the strongest Notifications
Every ship-of-war we have ought to be convert
ed into steamer and clad with iron. like the
Merrimac The old sailing vessels-of-war are
behind the age. Not only are wooden walls
useless against iron sides, but even stone walls
must succumb to such engines Of destruction
as the Merrimac and the Monitor. Our forts in
future must be built of iron, and those now in
use must be plated with it like the new gun
boats. Should war ever break out between
this country and any of the great mari
time Powers of Europe, we would imme-
diately have brought to bear against us vessels
like the Warrior or La Gloire, Of the impregna-
BILE and destructive character Of which we have
just had sample in the performances of the
Merrimac. We have learned from our late
experiences of these iron vessels, that they
render the ordinary coast and river for
tifications of but little use. Instead of
lavishing money on the erection of granite
forts and earthworks, it would be bettor for lis
for the future to spend it on the construction of
iron-pated vessels and floating batteries like
the Monitor, which, from its defeat Of the rebel
iron monster, we take to be the most perfect
model of this kind of vessel now aaoat. The
subject is one that merits the attention of the
States having line Of coast to defend Our
New York Legislature should Immediately vote
a sum sufficient to build large floating bate
ry on the Ericsson pattern. Our citizens would
have more confidence in it than in all the forts
that we possess.
The New York herald., 1862-03-14

RED TAPE AND WROUGHT Iron SHoT.-It ap-
pears there were on board the Monitor, in her
attack upon the Merrimac, fifty wrought iron
shot of one hundred and sixty-eght pounds
each, which Captain Ericsson believes would
have reached the vtals of the rebel monster
had they been tried; but that they were not
tried because of an express interdict from the
Ordnance Department Red tape; old fogyism
But who authorized this extraordinary bit of
red tape from Washington wh9(should like
TO know.
The New York herald., 1862-03-14

Pillow AND FLOYD HUNG UP TO DRY.-Jeff.
Davis, President and Commander-in-Chief of
our Southern rebel confederation, has hung up
Floyd and Pillow to dry. 1t will be remem-
bered that Pillow was in the chief COM
mand at Fort Donelson when invested by
General Grant; that Pillow, on finding the
place too hot to be comfortable desired to leave;
and that Floyd, the second in command,
was of the same way of thinking; but that
Buckner, the third in command, on being
sounded, protested against the attempt to run
away; and that, in this emergency, Pillow,
with small force, slipped off under cover of
the night, turning over the chief command to
Floyd, and that Floyd, with his immediate fol-
lowers, joining Pillow, turned over the chief
command to Buckner, and that thus poor
Buckner was left to shift for himself
Pillow and Floyd escaped, and made up a
cock and bull story Of their prowess, destroyed
.the bridges and other public property at Nash
vile, and then resumed their fight. But upon
their own reports JEFF. Davis has condemned
them, suspended them, and hung them up to
dry; and thus ends the military glory of the
bombastic charlatan and blatherskite Pillow,
and the pusillanimous thief and traitor Floyd.
The New York herald., 1862-03-14

KNOCKED IN THE HEAD-All our old fashion,
ed wooden vessels Of war and all our stupen-
dous and expensive old fashioned stone for
tresscs. A half dozen iron-clad vessels, of tho
style of the little Monitor, would be worth
more to us now than all the other ships of the
United States Navy, and dozen Of Ericsson's
little revolving batteries on land and adoat
would be worth more for the protection of the
harbor of New York than all our forts from
Governors Island to Sandy Hook and from He'll
Gate to Montauk. Ericsson's impregnable bat
terry marks the most important revolution in the
art of war since the invention of gunpowder.

munication sent in by the Comptroller at the last
meeting relative to the city debt taken up, and tire
resolution appended thereto unanimously adopted,
which was, that the Comptroller be authorized and
directed to apply to the Legislature for the pas
sage of act to reduce the taxation of the city of
New York, by applying the surplus revenues of the
sinking fund for the payment Of the city debt.
The tax levy for 1862 was returned by the Alder.
men, with several amendments to the appropria-
tions made by the Councilmen, amounting in the
aggregate to over a million Of dollars. On motion,
the Board almost unanimously refused to concur
with the Aldermen in the proposed additions to
the Comptroler's estimates Subsequently q re.
solution was adopted, requesting the Comptroller
to petition the Legislature for the passage Of an
act authorizing the raising by tax, In general
manner, the amount which may be required to
deray the necessary expenses for the current year.
Thus it will he seen that the action which the
Councimen have taken in this matter will result
in a material reduction Of the tax levy for the
present year.

LATEST FROM THE BATTLE FIELD.
ANOTHER BATTLE AT HAND.

HARRIsBURG, Sept 18.-Informaton re-
ceived this morning direct from the battle
field represented that the battle would UNI
doubtedly be resumed to-day, but up to this
hour no firing had been heard at Hagerstown
The forces remain about in the same position
as at the end of yesterdays fight. Prepara-
tons are now being made for receiving the
sick and wounded from the late battle.
Troops are still coming in by thousands,
and are Immediately forwarded the govern
ment having complete control of the road to
Chambersburg and Hagerstown. The regu-
lar trains to these points were suspended to-
day, but will be resumed in few days.
HARRIsBURG, Sept. IS EyeHing.-Advi-
ces just received at headquarters from Ha-
gerstown confirm the report that no fight had
taken place to-day, that the rebels are sup
posed to be short of ammunition, and that the
fight would probably commence at daybreak
tomorrow. Our troops are said to have be-
haved nobly, and they talk confidently of
gaining great victory tomorrow. Gov.
Curtin had arrived safe at Hagerstown.
A telegraph line is being extended to
Boonesboro', thus bringing us much nearer to
Gen. McClellan's headquarters. 1t will be
completed tomorrow.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-It is not known in
official quarters, as recently reported, that
Charleston, S. c., has been invested, nor that
there is sufficient force in that vicinity to
make such an effort successful.
A reconnaissance in force was made yeSter-
day. 1t has demonstrated that there are no
rebel troops between Washington and Bull
Run, while our scouts yesterday reported that
they were in full force at Drainesville Tues
day evening.
Maj. Sherborne of Gen. Wadsworth's staff
examined number of state prisoners in the
old capitol, preparatory to final decision in
their cases. About dozen prisoners of war
will be released upon taking the oath of ale
glance. They were mostly residents of New
Orleans, and intelligent men.
In accordance with the orders of General
Banks, Mai. Doster is transferring the de-
serters and stragglers arrested by his guards
to the convalescent camp near Alexandria.
Yesterday 100 were sent from Georgetown,
and this forenoon about $50. All are sent to
the same point by steamer. They are col
lected at Forest Hall in Georgetown from all
points, and forwarded from there.
DIR. Antoine c. Camps, arrested by the
provost marshal six weeks since, has been re-
leased, on condition that he will leave the
country in ten days. He is Spaniard. f.
X. Buxton and j. A. Kirby have been released
from the old capitol prison, on condition that
they reside north of New York city during
the war.
1t is ordered by the war department that
medical purveyors be required to give bonds
in the sum of $4,000.
Paroled prisoners from Richmond, say that
troops continue to arrive there from the south,
but are sent thence as fast as possible. This
is corroborated from other sources, leaving
no doubt ofthe fact that the rebels are concen-
tratipg large force in the Shenandoah val
ley, with central military depot at Winches-
ter, which is strongly fortified.
