How New lfonifors are BuiIt.


A good illustration Of quick, systematic,
and thoroughly intelligent workmanship,
says the New York Journal Of Commerce,
msy be seen in the construction Of one of
the six new Monitors at the Fulton Found
~, Jersey City. The work grows hsrmO-
niously, though not musically, (unless one
likes the din Of a thousand hammers IN
der the eye Of the visitor. The laying of
the keel and the setting Of nearly all the
frames have already been accomplished
These are difficult parts Of the structure,
and upon their accurate adjustment every
thing depends. The new Monitor, in the
present stage Of its development, looks ex-
sStly like an iron Vertebr@ with three
times the usual supply Of ribs. This skel-
atom Of what is soon to be 6 thing Of ter
rible powers, Is covered with Workmen as
with hies. They swarm all over it with
big and little hammers, chisels, pincers,
tongs. and every known appliance for the
noisy handling and treatment Of hot or
cold iron. Dozens Of table forges stand on
either side, in which innumerable bolts
are heated red hot and passed to the work

ed in the hole made for them; and so the
iron plating and bars are indissolubly

The frame is covered with high roof to
keep of the suns rays, but the ends and
sides Of The shed are left open for the com
fort Of the artlans. On both sides Of the
ample yard are long sheds for the eXecu

failed to use the right Of every soldier to
quietly note and eritieise the conduct Of
the war. BE is slightly profane in his
comments upon the style Of warfare he
helps to carry out and does not spare ex-
pletiEes when he speaks Of the rebels, but
ordinary Anglo-Sa1on viii not express
his feelings. BE was as ardent Democrat
as boy could be when he entered the
ranks, but he don't believe in guarding
rebel property. He says; aTo put down
the rebellion the way they are doing now,
say can't and never will be done. Let
them leave the 'nigger question out, stop
guarding the enemy's property, deal with
the enemy's property with severity, put
