A Poor RICH MAN.-Ths Chicago Times
gives case of gentleman in that city whic n,
we presume is only one of many similar cases
which might be named
A gentleman some years since, by the rise
of real estate, became noted for the increase
of his wealth His paper ranked fair for
almost any amount, and fortune seemed to
favor him at every turn. The pressure
came, nov ever, and found him in the act of
erecting one or more fine blocks on promi-
nent streets. As TIL buildings seemed nes-
sary, and an equal necessity existed of OBJ.
tanning funds to finish them, he resorted to
the plan of nortgaging the property for the
purpose, The buildings were finished, and
the gentlemans pecuniary matters stand very
much straitened. The rents he receives
from the buildings are absorbed by interest,
insurance and taxes. Real estate cannot be
sold for anything greater than sacrificing
price, and the gentleman has no other pro.
perty than these buildings and his homestead.
He is worth from $4,000 to $4,000 yet he
is actually oblidge to labor, day after day, to
furnish the necessaries of life for his family,
or starve. Who wouldn't be rich

IRoN-CLAD VEssEL.-In his letter to
the Senate naval committee, asking for
iron-clad vessels already in the service,
Secretary Welles presents some interest
ing general views on the subject. He
says -
'Steam has become such an indispen-
sable element in naval warfare that YES
sells propelled by sails only are consider
ed useless for war purposes. The last
sailing vessel built for the navy was the
Constellation, commenced in 1858, and
completed in August, 1855. Steam YES

emy's shot and she'll, can make but feeble

fully contend against power employing
iron-clad vessels, and consequently can
not meet the requirements of the country.
deem it imperative that we should forth
with commence the construction of armor-
ed vessels on scale commensurate with
the great interests at stake.
The department proposes to construct
few vessels of light draft, great speed
and heavy armament, for the Western
waters also class for harbor defense
and to operate upon the Atlantic coast,
and in the Gulf of Mexico, which shall be
as far as possible invulnerable; each arm
ed with 15-inch guns. And finally it
proposes to attempt an ocean steamer,
possessed ofthe same sailing and armor-
ed properties, armed with guns of twenty
inches calibre, the two latter classes to
be used as rams. Assuming that an ene-
my can always construct guns and yes
sells similar to our own, and that he can
also attack us upon the seaboard with a
superior naval force concentrated at the
point selected to be attacked, and that

thereon, cannot be relied upon to sink
every iron-clad vessel which attempts to
pass the line of fire at high speed, it be.

REBEL LITERATURE.

According to the correspondent OF the
Tribune, the rebel literature found at Man
assas was as dreary as could well be imagined.
He says that the home letters are not only
ill-spelt, RECONSTRUCTED, and very dull, but
very rarely are they enlivened with spark
of fun, warmed with word Of hearty ahec-
ton, or relieved by a thoughtful sentence,
One sentence remained with careful reader,
1t was ;"You talk of peace. There can be
no peace until the two sections are either
separated or thoroughly united" There is
much talk Of hard times, in prose and verse (;

The lack of any provision for the VOL

IMpoRrANoE or New MADRID AZ A
MILITARY PosITIoN.--A New Madrid cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says
aAbundent evidence was found among the
papers left behind by General Gautt in his
basty flight to prove that the rebel leaders
regarded his position as most important one.
Letters from Gen Polk to General Gau't,
dated as far back as December last urge HIM
to hasten the completion Of the iorhhcatlons
then in progress, as the maintenance Of the
position is of the utmost Importance and
the same sentiment is reiterated down through
January and February, almost to the daS the
first attack was made by our forces, Rein
forcements and more artillery are promised
him as soon as they can be brought from Fort
Pillow and Randolph, both Of which places
it would appear have been partially disman-
tied TO furnish the means of maintaining a
successful defence of this point. Their camps
and Notifications equally show that their
occupation of this place was designed to be
permanent.
II would appear that for some months past
the rebel generals have feared their position
at Columbus would prove untenab!e, and
had meditated the manure they have since
executed Of falling back to Island No, 10,
which in some respects is much better
position.
Hence the importrnoe of holding New
Madrid, as its occupation by our troops would
cut OF their communication by the river with
their chief sources of supply, and render II
impossible for them to remove anything from
the island should they be compelled to evac-
uate that position The catastrophe which
they dreaded has happened-Gen. Pope now
has complete control of the river below the
island, and their water communication is cut
off They can now only maintain 1t by
making an overland journey of some ten OF
Twelve miles across the base Of the peninsula
at the head of which New Madrid is situated
ard thus reaching the river below the town
and ., obably before this letter will reach
you, batteries will have been established com
nanding even this route, and destroying their
la, chance OF escape"

LOYALTY AT RIoHhoNp.-The Rich
mond Enquirer is continually talking
about the disloyalty of the people there.
The last case is thus mentioned:
ave learn that nine of the men en-
ployed at the city gas works utterly re-
fused to take the oath of allegiance, say
ing that they had sworn to support the
Constitution of the United States, and
would not perure themselves. Richmond
will, no doubt, be made too hot to hold
these Yankee sympathizers. They had
not been arrested up to late hour last
evening.
