DISCOVERIES AT BOWLING GREEN.-A letter
to the Cincinnati Gazette, dated Bowling
Green, Feb. Is, says
Our success here is much more important
than was at first supposed, viewing il merely
IN reference to what property we have taken
possession OF. The rebels did not destroy as
much OF their stores as We imagined, but con-
cealed them IN various places about the town
and neighborhood, hoping that they might
possibly escape the vigilant eyes of our quar-
termasters and commissaries.
But their hopes we're vain. Such quantities
OF provisions of all sorts, -four, pork, etc have
been found, that we should have no difficulty
IN subsisting our army for considerable time,
even if we should receive no supplies whatever
from the North. 80 -
In every imaginable place these articles
have been found-up in garrets, down in eel
lars. IN wells, IN cisterns, in houses belonging
to professed Union men, and, indeed, in every
situation which any individual would be apt
to select as suitable for cOncealment
This organized system of hiding was not con-
fined to the town. A great many hundred bags
and barrels of corn were discovered concealed

THE NEW IRoN-CLAD STEANER.-Hsr Ar
riral from MystIe-PeeUkiaTIttes The iron
clad war steamer which has been building at
Mystic, Connecticut, since September last has
been brought to this port, and now lies at
Greenpoint. The vessel-which has not yet
received name-was launched few DAYS
ago, and will be ready to receive her armament
In about one month from the present time,
when she will be Immediately prepared for
sea.
This is one of the three iron-clad vessels
whose construction was provided for at the last
session Of Congress. The Ericsson Battery
also one Of them-has made her trial trip, and
will soon be afforded an opportunity of testing
her lighting qualities. The third is building
at Philadelphia, and will soon be clad with
iron plates similar to those used on the British
steamer Warrior
The vessel just arrived at this port has most
OF her armor on: the engines are finished and
partly in and large number of workmen are
employed on board. The work will be hur-
ried rapidly forward.
The entire model is new. The vessel has
been constructed under a contract of Bushnell
Co., with the Navy Department, and was
designed By Samuel III. POok, an experienced
naval architect Of Boston, who has superin-
tended the construction on the part Of the
Government. The design was to 80 construct
the sides that they should slope inward from
luo wafer ouSe, anu Inus cause the missiles
which should strike them to glance off The
sides of the vessel, and even the upper deck,
present none but curved lines-a point here
tofore unattained to such degree in naval
architecture 1t is believed that with the
comparatively light iron mail, the sides of the
vessel will be entirely impenetrabls to the
missiles now generally used.
The hull Of the vessel is about 200 feet over
all, extreme breadth 81 feet, and depth Of
hold 10 feat inches Har q
Loco tons. Her sides, from the frame which
lies on the keel and the build" two or three
feet from the frame, are Of solid white oak
about fifteen inches thick. This thickness ex-
tends two feet above the gun deck The walls
extending to the upper deck are at the base
fourteen inches thick, and at the top thirteen
inches, the whole being quite as solid as the
sides proper. The width of the upper deck is
but twenty-seven feet.
The hull is pierced for eighteen guns, but IL
il not designed to use 50 large a number.-N
