Launch Of a New Naval Monster.
What is it? the submarine battery
was this morning pulled into the river
off the navy yard by gang OF labor.
ers Ropes were thrown around the
body of the craft, which rested on
we'll creased planks, a short distance
from the water, on the lone dock
Men and oxen "wal,ed awayn with
the hemp, and succeeded in getting
he huge monster aoat The same
thing was attempted last evening IN
SUCCESSFULLY. The appearance of the
battery is novel for an armed vessel
1t resembles a huge drygoods case
with an addition on ono side, in which
the portfolio. through which the gun
protrudes, is situated. The gun how
ever, will be covered by a sort O
porch, the use and regulation ofwhich
it would not DO proper to print
Egress and ingress are obtained through
the top, by ladder. When atloa
it is presumed there will be sort o
permanent convenience for getting il
and out. The interior of the battery L
very like that Of q turret, as far as di
mansions and unburthencd room are
concerned. There is no "ship shape
at all ABBOTT the hull, which, as as already
stated, is like box. The wooden stalls
in which horses are transported TO anC
fiom Europe, might be mistaken by
navy.yard laborer for the great cur os
ity which has so bewildered them fol
months. There is at present no armo
en-, but it is said that some inches o
iron plating will be put over the sides
in few days. The guu will also b'
mounted in short time. Lieut.. Hunt

that has spEurg ~ cctween the people Of Egg
laCd and those of his country, than the indI!-
ference with which we treat the Crest Exhlbl
ton that was opened in London on The LIST of
May. Crystal Palace more magnificent than
that OF 1851 has been erected, and the excite.
ment IN London aud throughout the United
Kingdom has been very great. But scarcely
any one IN America takes particle of interest
in the affair. The reports OF the London pa pers
represent the pageant al the opening as mag
nIhcent beyond anything of the kind ever seen
in London; but all they can say does not STIR
up any American enthusiasm.
When il is remembered how, in 1881, the
United States aud their citizens were represen.
ted at the Hyde Park Exhibition; how the
leading newspapers OF this country all had cor.
| respondents 10 describe it; how excrited we
all became over the taunts OF The Times at the
meagreness OF our show, and how We triumph

Engand through her Government, her poll

shown that she hates America, and rejoice.
over the civil war that she supposed was to des
troy our power and unity as nation. The
proofs OF this English hatred and Jealousy of lht
United States have been SO abundant lately
that they are engendering corresponding
hatred in this country. We cease TO interes
ourselves in any EagIish enterprises, and W,
treat the London Exhibition with less respec

Th question is constantly before the public
mind, when is Charleston to be taken! From
the reports Of Gen. Hunter and Com. Dupont
OF the capture of Bulls Bay, to the north of tn :
city. and The taking ofIhe batteries just below
il, we may soon look for a movement in the
right direction. We really think that thers
has been slight put upon South Caroline, that
she has not before this been furnished with an
opportunity TO let her " chivalry" die in that
"laSt ditch" Port Royal was only the first
dutch, and the darkies in the vicinity insis, upon
it that some OF the very tallest kind Of running
we beg pardon ofthe Palmettoes-oir retiring
for 5trategelc reasoRs-was witnessed on that
occasIon-but they have taken good care 10
keep at a respectful distance in their position
ever since. We hope that our Army and navy
will pay attention forthwith 10 the peculiar
wishes OF the people in regard to Charleston.
The Monitor and GGlena can coolly steam

while all the shot the fort can rain on them fall
from of their mailed sides like the peas Of Il

a hazardous business to have tempted 10 rur
with wooden vessels the gauntlet of the rebe

soon as they are relieved from the importan
missisn they now have to fill in the Jane

be sent on. When Richmond falls, " On T.

The process of restoring a rebellious State
to a condition of loyalty is necessarily tedious ;
but it can be done. when the proper men have
the work in charge. Governor Andrew John

nessee. He has been collecting q number of
leading Union men in Nashville, and the meet.
ing thus held has had the happesI effect. From
various parts Of the State there are signs of
acquiescence 10 the restoration of the Federal
authority, and this acquescence would show
itself as positive satisia cIIon, II il were not for
fear that the United States may not conlinue Q
TO furnish protection to the nhs blants, and tha
the State may again be oVerrun by the rebels.
A great difficulty in all the restored States
will arise from the condition Of the CURRENCY.
The people have little more than Confederate
scrip, or notes Of banks that are under the rebel
Government, or the wreIched paper promises to
pay Of irresponsible firms or individuals. All
these become worthless as the United States
troops advance. They are refused at Memphi.
