Mr.. Peter DOlan, formerly an employee
in the Charleston Courier Office, has man
aged to escape from the South by virtue of
his being a British subject The Philadel-
Phia Press tells his story, and we make
the following extracts:
"Sunday three weeks I was on board
the Merrimac, being anxious to get a look
ct her before came away She is a very
formidable vessel constructed with much
skill. Her woodwork was then finished.
On the following day she was taken across
the river to the Tredegar Works, TO have
her plating put on. The plates are about
ten feet long, and ten inches in width.
They sre punched entirely through, with
holes for the insertion Of the bolts, and
viii overlap one another when in posi-
Htion.
Like Merrimac No. l, she is formida-
bic ram, but is somewhat smaller than the
great original, which, in every other re-
speet, she greatly resembles. Her roof
runs up to pOalEy e -s-.sl> Ls;uht that
the sides rise at a sharp angle. When
ironed, and her machinery put in, her
guards win probably not be over one foot
above the water. Being much smaller,
she win be far more manageable than
Merrimac the first. Her guards we're about
six feet above the waters edge. The ram
was Tell-beaked, reaching about four feet
above the deck, and extending out six or
eight feet.
Although her armament was Of course
not yet on board, its character was no Sc
cret. The entire public having access to
the vessel, 1t was easy to be seen what
number Of guns she was to carry, as well
as their approximate character. From
other information, however, I can state
that she viii carry one bow, one stern, and
three side guns. They are to be Of the
same description as those which are
mounted at Port Darling, their ability to
pierce our iron-armored vessels having, in
the attack upon that fortress, been exem-
pifed-at least to the satisfaction Of Sc
cesh. The balls to be used are steel
pointed, and we're being made on the day
Of our departure as well as previously.
She is no doubt completed by this time,
and ready for offensive operations as q
very large gang Of workmen are employed
upon her. She is the pride Of the Rich
monders, who rely upon her for the de-
fence Of the city as much as upon their
armies. It is bOastingly declared, and un-
iversally believed by them, that "she l0iH

doubtedly bombast, it is certain she has

by Merrimac No. her srmor-plating ex-

Singularly enough, her crew is to con-
sist only Of the crew Of Merrimao the first.
The men were quartered on Thirteenth
street, few doors from the Examiner Of

Coz. Dsnnison, Representative Gurley,
Iarz Anderson and General Bates arrived
here to-day, as a committee from Governor
Tod. to report to the President the condi-

the belief Of such Union men Of Kentucky
as Speaker Buckner, that Kentucky is IN
imminent dangers in fact just trembling
in the balance between the Union and the
Southern Confederacy.

highly satisfactory, and such measures are
REGARDED certain TO be promptly taken as
will meet the demands Of Kentucky and
the Southern Ohio and Kentucky borders.

TnE TAx on SILVER PLArE.-Eyer since
the Tax Law passed, many housewife has
distressed herself with the vision of IL ronph
assistant assessor ransackng her closets
trunks and bureaus, and turning the con
tents OF her house upside down, to ascertain
the exact amount of silver plate in her nos
session. The New York journal of Com
merce says
" The fears of such an intrusion upon the
privacy of home are entirely groundless.
Commissioner Boutwell, has given particular
instructions for the polite ana decorous en-
lorcement Of the tax law; and the assessors
have forbidden their assistants to indulge in
any unnecessary or impertinent inqusitiye-
ness in the performance Of their duties

zens, rather than make the law odious nv n

fortunate enough to own silver spoons. ten

tam the weight OF them in troy ounces. This
can be most easily and accurately done nt
some sllyersmith's; and his certificate as TO
the weight Will he accepted by the assessor

lorly ounces, belonging to any one person,

that the tax of three cents per ounce is
chargeable.
As au encouragement of the family inst-
tuition, the trainers of the law have exempted
those silver mugs, which are the peculiar en-
dowments Of babyhood. In fact, everything
which does not come under the head Of sill

While the law is thus tolerant of silver ware,

1t is of the utmost Importance that the

lay. The War Department has issued its
order revoking the draft, with the full as.
surance that the organization will be pro.

our part now, will have the effect of an.
nulling Secretary Stantons recent order
and thereby re-estabish the drafting sys-

up to the work, therefore, and assist in
the organization. The men in this repi-
ment will not be called out of the State
nor will they be required to cncamp they
are exclusively for home defence, and are
not expected to perform any other duty
unless they voluntarily offer their services
therefor,
Henry S. McComb of this city has re-
ceiyed the commission of Colonel of the
Regiment-entirely unsolicited on his
part we are told-and will proceed at
once to place it in condition for home
defence if need be- Before this can be
done, however, the several companies must
meet and elect their officers in order that
the regimental officers may be selected.
