Tricks Al me PoLLs.-A correspondent
from Richmond explains why 50 few votes
(l3 out OF 59)-came to be given there for
Mr.. Miller, TOR County Commissioner. 1t
seems that two packages of the printed bal
lots for Mr.. Miller, one Of which was placed
on the table by the ballot boxes for the use
of voters, and another which was for a like
purpose placed on the counter Of Judge
Green 5 store, were found to be suddenly
missing, having, Of course, been puIloined
by some sly thief. Only few printed votes
for Miller, which were in the hands of an
individual, were to be found, though there
were plenty for Mitchell. Our correspondent
adds that very little interest is felt by the
voters there in relation to County Commits
siOneT. Had there been much interest, Of
course manuscript ballots would have been
provided in place Of the missing printed
ones

THE MERR1MAC AND MONITOR.

The news of the successful attack of the
rebel iron-clad steamer Merrimac on the U.
S. frigates Cumberland and Congress on
Saturday last, sinking one and causing the
surrender Of the other, was quite startling
when first received. A little reflection will
show that the consequences are less import
ant than they might seem to be at first sight.
Being sailing vessels, Of wood only, their value
was not great to the Government, and to the
rebels nothing. They were lying just of
Newport News, serving to blockade the en-
trance to James river; and so long as the
rebels could not bring out against them any
thing stronger they could answer FOR that
purpose. The Merrimac was a U. s. steam
frigate lying in Norfolk harbor, when that
place and the adjacent Gosport Navy Yard
fell into the hands of the Rebels last April.
She was sunk at that time, and her ma
chinery damaged before she was deserted. -
To raise her, race her, put her machinery
in working order and to case her in iron SO
that she could repel cannon shot. or cause
them to glance off from her iior hide, ha
been the work of the last ten months. That
she possesses very dangerous powers is shown
by her doings of Saturday last If, instead of
stopping to attack the Cumberland and Cong
ress she had pushed right out to sea as she
probably could have done with IMMUNITY, and
taken a turn down the coast, she might have
done immense damage to the blockading
squadron-that is, -supposing that her sea
| going powers were equal to her fighting
powers.
Probably the plan was to make such a
move after disabling the Cumberland and
Congress and setting free the rebel gunbOatI
in James River but the sudden entrance on
the stage of the new Ericsson war steamer
Monitor, check-mated that move at once
Though a much smaller vessel, the Monitor
same-cCek like, struck into the fight at once
and seems to have showed that IN spurs OIL
pluck it was more than a match for ii
larger adversary.
