1t is worth noting, as showing the continued
hostile auimUS Of the leading London jour
mails and the Liverpool telcgraphers toward us,
that the United States victory at Somerset,
Ky, is published on the 9th, with the lewcst
possible details. while the reported defeat of
the Government troops by JtE Thompson, on
the 10Th of January, near Iron1on, Missouri,
is bazpncd forth in imposing capital7 andoth-
cTwse made the most Of especially IN such
journals ns the Liverpool Mercury. We all
know here that no such battle ever took place;
yet nobody but the very verdant will expect
to sec the contradictions published on the other
side when it gets there except, perhaps, by
the Star or the Daily News, aud one or two
papers that arc generally disposed to do us jus

According 10 the London Times, had war
between America and England resulted from
the Trent affair, our little navy would have
been swept from the face of The ocean with
out permitting i 10 leave amy mark to ind cate
that it had ever existed. II is true that conf
pared with the British navy ours IS little but
the disparity is not 50 great as it was during
the war Of 1872, and in that contest on, lit
tie navy" made its mmk in such manner as
to satisfy our hau5hiy opponent that small as
it was it was not to be dcspiscd. 1t succeeded
in capturing no less than siEysercn British
war vessels, carrying SIS guns, some Of the
captured vcSs,ls being their best mru-of-war.
There were also captured during the same con-
test by our navy ana privatecrs 354 merchant
ships, 81 brigs. 520 soops, together with 80
craft of various classes recaptured making 800
vessels, carrying $500 guns. To this is TO be
added % vessels of war lost by wreck or 9th

The Philadelphia inquirer makes the follow
ing n4eaGiOn of CommUdOre Porter's mortar
aeet, which recently sailed from our Allautic
r.,rts 50 quietly that it's departure was scarce
" known to tie peopleat large:
One of the most formidable expeditions that
has yet sailed IRON our ports, has slipPed away
so quietly that few are aware OF It's real force
aud none can tell whittier it has gone From
time to time the announcement has boen made
that two or three of the vessels OI Comlno-
dore Porter's Mortar Fleet had completed
their armament and saileyl. At leBSfh we arc
told that the last OF them has taken IFS de-
PAL ture to some unknown destination. We
shall hear from them by and 10y.
II seems that there are in all twenty vessels
-sboorIers from two 10 three tons burthen-
with the gunboat Octorara, the Commodore :
flagship. These vessels have been strengthen
Ell with beams and braces, so as TO sustain
the enormous weight Of the mortars and car
riages, and 10 resist The enormous recoil from
the mortar when fired with full charge
The mortars are terrible implements Of war.
They arc made with bore 81 inches deep
and will readily receive i thirteen inch shell
weighing. when filed. 2Ij pounds, The thick
ness of the mortar, from The bore To the out
side, Is | ) inches The weight of this fsrrni,l-
able implement Of destruction is 7.2l o pounds
The carriage on which it rests weighs 1900
pounds Each vessel. besides lis mortar, car
ries two long 30 pound guns. Of The hest pat
tern, weighing each 300 pounds. These arc
prepared TO east forth either shot or shell.
4 trial Of these moItars has recently been
made on the Mississippi, below Cairo, in or
der to test their power and to try the efFtct on
the boat which bears them. Capt. Constable
conducted the experiment. With | pounds
of powder, and The shell filled with wet sand
weighing 23O pour ds, il rose to the height o.
nearly half mile, and fell about two and 4
haif miles distant. With twenty pounds o.
powder it rose higher and after flight o.
twenIy-nine and a half seconds, fell ut dis
fance Of three miles. With full charge o
twenty-thrce pounds, ihe time of tie flight was
thirty-twO seconds. and the distance three an1
a half miles. 1t is calculated that the lighter
EheIl. filed with powder, can be sent distance
OF four miles. These twcn'y mortars. if cacl
discharge five shells per hour. can drop one
she'll in every forty-fve seconds among the en-
emy-a terrible shower, before which no forct

A. Union man who left Nashville on the day
following the fall Of Fort Donelson, represents
the state of excitement there as being uuparal-
lelcd. a perfect panic reigncd throughout the
whole city. The streets were throngcd with
people wild with excitement. Leading rebels
were making speeches from store boxes, from
the street corners. to the excited poPuace sta
ting That the "Frdcrals" were upon them, the
city was delcnccless, aud appealing to every
man who had any species Of fire arms, TO rally

be little if any, system about anything that
looked TO resistance. During the confusion, he
made good his escape to Mun(ordsville.
