The voysge OF the Monitor from New York, With her
Ingenious device for rising and sinking like nautilus
proved that ironcased vessels may be easily carried
across the narrow channel which separates England
from France; and even upon longer voyages.
Now the commercial marine Of England was in 1857,
nearly double that Of rance her tonnage being about
four and her bore something Ike the
proportions When, therefore. the exploits of the
Virginia, and her splendid setto with the Monitor are
considered, it Is evident tha. the nautical kl Of EGG
land s Of no avail where there nei!her masts to
climb Ppars to splics, sails reef, spread-vhere
"he wea;hegage ia disregaried and missirg ttays'
impossibility.
Ia such fight Jack Tar may go below and make
himself comfortable for bis vocation has passed away
The commercial marine Of England, heretofore the
source Of her strength has bscome burden Of weak
ness.
Upon the other hand, France having the capacity to
build and arm as May snip, as England, can furnish
her crews from that Inscription maritime which, In the
Ormean war, furnished 10000 men in fortnight
whilst Eogland WAS months raising the same number
If this resources be insufficient, she may draft from her
army as many gunners may b needed for IL will be
plain Battery fighting in which any good artilerst is at
home.
Having less conmsco at risk France can, in the event
of war with England, utterly destroy the shipping
upon which she relies for support, and thus brag her
proud rival to ruin and submission.
Engl'nd, insulated and dependent on trade, Is vune
able through thousand spertures where France Is in.
vulnerable France possessing the capacity to feed and
employ her population, will be impreguabe within the
stronghold OF her own resources.
Rsi.ved, ,hsn, by the demonstrations of the herrmsc
frcm the ocean mastery Of GNa Bitan-sstisfsd thr
with the new msthod of marine the former eemen
of English strength have become burden of weakness
r may intervene in the American war without fear
OF provoking ally who knows her own vulnerable
condition and would regard, with coll neutrality, the
most advantageous commercial connection between
FAnce and the Confederate States.

We had pleasant trip down the river.
l was greatly surprised at the backward
ness Of the country. At Keokuk We had
a few spits Of snow, and it is so cool in
this State nights aud mornings IS to re-
quire fres. For four hundred miles down
the river We saw no difference in vegeta.
ton, and it was not until We got near St.
Louis that the trees appeared at all green.
There are many now not yet leafed out,
and We saw no blowing until the last day
in April.
Pickets stretch out from the Barracks
ten miles and are fred at frequently by
secesh under cover of night. There are
plenty Of disaffected people all around St.
Louis who are only kept in check by the
presence Of troops. Al We marched
through the streets Of the city on our way
to the Barracks many Union flags were
waved, and many ladies waved their hand
kerchiefs, and doubtless there are hundreds
Of good loyal people all through Missouri.
The horses furnished US by Govern
ment are excellent, some As fine as l have
ever seen. I have 6ne four year old sad
die horse that carries himself like prince
y Adjoining the Barracks are some fine
lands AID suburban residences belonging

Governor of Missouri, but now confscated
and held by the Government. The Bav-
racks adjoin the State Fair Ground, a
beautiful, park-hke enclosure, which is also
occupied by troops. The once fne walks
and enclosures have been sadly mutilatel
and defaced BY the soldiers.
y l am glad to be able to write you
that I am still we'll and hope to continue
