Fortress monroe--Shotsf from the Lin

Of Vice President Hamlin.

FORTRESS MONROE, March a9--On Friday
evening the rebels threw a ball from one OF
the riiled guns at Sewall's Point, which came
within about three hundred yards Of the ship
ping in the upper roadstead.
The Lincoln gun has been mounted, aud
this morning was tried in order to test the
carriage. Only ten shots were tired. The
second shot was splendid ricochet shot
The immense ball, weighing 4S7 pounds, after
making three plunges and renewed fight,
finally sunk away Off near Sewall's Point. If
the Merrimac could stand ten Of these g Lin
coin pills" as they arc called here, she is
proof agaiust all appliances Of modern gun
nery.
There were some signs Of activity towards
Norfolk this morning, and steam tug came
down o Sewalls Point, and the smoke from a
large vessel could be seen of above Crauey
Island. 4 propeller, apparently gunboat,
also came down the James River, within about
three mics Of Newport News, and after re-
connoiteriDg, apparently returned up the riy-
er. The present high wind and low water,
however, forbids all expectation OF the ap
| proach Of the Merrimac until the storm il
| over.
FORTRESS MONROE, March 30.-Thc wealth
er here o-day is unpleasant and rainy.

this afternoon, with Vice President Hamlla OF

The Missing Fishing Vessels from

The Cape Ann (llass.} advertiser Of the a44th
nit, says nothing has yet been heard from the
thirteen missing Vessels, aud that the chance
for the safety Of any Of the crews, numbering
in ill 10 1neu, is now nearly hopeless. They
were probably all lost in The terrible gale Of
the 25th CT February, and the unfortunate men
have left, says the AdrcrtiSer, seventy widows
and two hundred and fourteen fatnerlcss
children in the town Of Gloucester.
"This is By far the greatest calamity which
ever occurred in this community. Over ono
hundred men, most Of them in the prime oi
Life, and the majority Of thcra married, having
families dependent upon them for support
have perished. Every one feels the loss; it /:

in the counting-room, At the social meeting
On the street, and at the fTeside- We cal
hardly realize that these men, many Of then
our personal friends, have gone down beneat1

The catastrophes which have always attend
ed this business have rendered George
Banks vast cemetery, peoplcd with the fish
ermen Of Gloucester. The losses of vessels

amount in round numbers to Sex, 1000. "

Enlist In Old Regime Nts.
BENEFITS TO BE GAINED.

An old soldier who has served sixteen
years in the regular service, suggests the
following facts as inducements for volun-
teers to enter old regiments.
l. They will learn more in one month in
an old regiment than they will learn in four
or SIX months in new regiment, for in the
one case every old officer and soldier is by
prccept and example an instructor, while
in the other the officers only are instruct
ors, and ottentimes but inexperienced and
imperfect ones.
2. They will better escape the diseases
OF camp lie among old and experienced
soldiers than in newly organized rcgi.
ments. Presenting that the inefficient and
selfish officers have to great extent resign
ed or have been displaced, the officers
and men who remain in the old regiments
have learned by observation and experience
the means OF preserving health, and will
lnpart their knowledge to the young soldier.
In proof Of this, know captain in the
army of the Potomac, who had been for
years in the regular army, and through the
campaign in Mexico, who has not lost
single man by sickness.
- AHeAc VIII PIooaAOy DC less loss OIL lie
in an old organization than new one
Experienced officers will be less likely to
expose their men needlessly then inexperi-
enced ones. Old regiments will be less
likely to be thrown into disorder under
fire. AS a general thing the men will be
better cared for, in wounded, because of
the better organization for the care of the
wounded and because the old surgeons
have had greater experience in the treat
ment Of the sick AID wounded.
4. Young soldiers in an old regiment
will share the glory Of veteran corps.
And, finally, as it is presumed that all
who volunteer desire to render the most
efficient service to the government, it is
safe to say that ten thousand men distrib-
uted. through the regiments now in the
field will accomplish more in the next six
months than thirty thousand organized in
to new regiments.
Il Now, until Monday next, Sergt Day
ton, Of Go "K'' LIST Iowa Cavalry, will re-
cruit all men who desire to enter any of
the old Iowa regiments in the field, giving
them choice of regiment, and company
Volunteers get bounty Drafted men get
none. Be wise while you have time.
