The New Tr0Msides.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Description would give very inadequate
idea of the great iron clad steamship for the
United States Navy, which is now lying
almost completed below the Philadelphia
Navy Yard. Even personal inspection
of her, and an explanation of her inner
recesses, is calculated to bewilder the visi>
tor, so much is there to see and 80 much to
hear described. The ship herself is nearly
ready for sea. The plating can be finished
in few days the machinery is all in place
and has already been in motion, with the
most satisfactory results the joiner work,
painting and furnishing can be completed
on short notice and the only serious delay
is caused by the necessity of waiting for the
gun carriages. The huge guns themselves,
which are destined to speak in more than
thunder tones to the enemies of the Repub-
lie, are lying on the wharves, all ready to
be put in position /; but the carriages,
which are of iron, and novel in structure,
are delayed. The delay, however, will not
be long, and but few weeks can elapse
before the New Ironsides is ready to depart
on her mission against the rebellion.
When it is remembered that the keel of
this first great ironclad steamer of the
American navy was laid less than seven
months ago, the progress made upon her is
amazing. The building of naval vessels of
her size has generally been work of years;
out here we have the greatest naval work
ever undertaken by our government finish
ed in seven months A ship of $3.50 tons,
measurement, 200 feet long, 58 feet inches
wide, and 25 feet deep, covered with iron
plates ~ inches thick, and with heavier
timbers underneath the plating than have
ever before been used, has been created out
of materials most of which were in the for
est, in the shape of growing trees, or under
the soil in the shape of ore, considerably
less than one year ago. The metamorpho.
sis is almost magical, and as it has the mer-
it of being real, it is far more worthy of
celebration by the poet than the fantastical
fcticns of Ovid.
The new steamer is not yacht like in her
model. Her "lines" would offend the sensi.
tive taste of amateur navigators. Her blunt
bow shocks the fastidious, who always look
upon marine craft with an eye to sport
rather than fight. She is, in fact, built for
fighting rather than sporting, and her iron
prov, that projects beyond the main struc~
ture, is meant more for destruction to enc.
mics than for speed against rivals. She will
present no comely outline when che has all
her guns and coal on board and is ready for
sea; there will be nothing to charm, but
there will be great deal to terrify.

FROM FORTRESS MONROE.

MOVEMENT OF REBEL TROOPS.
FORTRESS MONROE, July 27.--There are
considerable rebel forces along the river be-
tween City Point and Richmond, also at
or near Petersburg-they appear to be
moving the Petersburg troops north, but
we can obtain no proof that they are going
beyond Richmond. Richmond is said to
be in good condition; great care is taken
for cleanliness of the streets. The Peters,
burg E9press of the 25th states Farragut's
and Porter's vessels are on the point OF
leaving for Mobile and James River.

Reported Capture of the Rebel Ram
Arkansas.

Special dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
CAIRO, July 24.-The Conestoga has
just arrived from the feet. She left Sun
day night and on her arrival at Memphis
found reports, from rebel sources, that the
Arkansas had been captured. Her officers
credit the report, as they say an expedition
was planned to cut her out and capture her,
and she undoubtedly is in our hands now.
CAIRO, July 24.-The Grenada appeal
says the Arkansas was cut out from under
the rebel batteries at Vicksburg by the
General Bragg and Sumter.
No confirmation of the above has been
received by telegraph. If an event of this
Importance had occurred some mention
would most likely have been nade of it.

A CARGO OF SALT ALLOWED To GO TO
THE REBELS.

A CARGO OF SALT ALLOWED To GO TO
THE REBELS.
New York, July 29-The Norfolk cor
respondent of the Herald states that there
has been considerable comment in regard to
a vessel loaded with salt being allowed to
leave that point for the Nanzemond River
The contraband cargo was covered by a
regular pass from the superior officer, uu-
derstand. 1t is clear that the salt was in>
tended for the rebels at Richmond. What
ever may have been the representations
which secured the pass, it is quite possible
that somebody has been deceived in regard
to the salt as well as to the permission
granted to ladies with unexplored baggage
to take the same route to the rebel capitol.

BRITT H SYMP ATHY, sc
THE WAR TO BE MADE AGGRESSIVE.

The W AK To BE MAIN Ao0nEccANE'
From the Richmond Wing, July 49,
Movements in Tennessee and Kentucky
augur well. The panic in Nashville and
Louisville shows the terror with which the
enemy always contemplates aggressive &C.
ton by our armies. We accept the demon-
STATIONS in the West as promise that the
war is to be pushed with vigor at all points.
The late assurance of the President that our
standards are to be borne beyond the cons
fines of the Confederacy sent thrill through
the country. We expect to hear soon that
one of our most energetic, intrepid and sue.
cessful leaders, has made good this promise
of the Commander-in Chief. The summer
heats, which the enemy would so gladly use
in resting his army and recruiting its bro>
ken ranks, is our opportunity. 1t will not
do for us to lie still because the enemy makes
no movement. That is precisely what would
suit him best. Time to him now is every.
thing. We must hunt him up, give him no
rest, prevent concentrations and reinforce
ments, break up his combinations, and by
carrying the war where we please, instead
of carrying the war where he pleases, strike
at bis very vitals. Our troops have shown
tina. all they require is to be shown the foe
and properly led against him. They know
their strength, they appreciate the stake for
which they fight, they have measured the
peril ard are prepared for it. Opportunity
and competent leaders are all they seek. 1t
will be objectionable, as it will be irremedi.
able, if our authorities deny them what
thev ask.

THE REBEL FORCE-SKIRMISHES
WATERLOO, Va, July 29.-Scouting
parties just returned, report occasional skin
mishes with the enemy near Orange Court
House, but without any definite results.

force from Orange Court House through
Gordonsville to StaDnardsville. His troops
are estimated at from 10000 to 10000
men; this force, however. does not secure

From the Richmond Dispatch, July l9.
Brief mention has been made OF the cap

FROM Inc Richmond Dispatch
1t is established, beyond the possibility
OF contradiction, that number of our
wounded, after receiving the woands, were
deliberately murdered by the Federal
troops. A gentleman of undoubted vera.
city, who was wounded in the fight at Coal
Harbor, states that after receiving his
wound, which was but slight one, be sue
ceedid in capturing Yankee soldier, with
whom he started to camp. On the way
they passed Texan officer, upon whom
mortal wound had been inflicted, and who
was at the time well nigh exhausted from
the loss of blood. The Texan expressed q
desire to talk to the prisoner, which was
allowed, and he addressed him, in substance
as follows " am about to die, and what
| state to you know to be true. When
our brigade charged your lines and was re-
pulsed, number OF our wounded were lett
upon the field; and when your troops came
up l distinctly heard your officer give the
command to shoot n the head any wounded

ders. l owe my life to the readiness with
which our men rallied. This statement l
wished to made to you, in the presence of

NIT the truth of the statement, and acknowl-
edge that such an order had been given.
BRITISH sYMPArH1Es
From The Richmond Wig
The Mobile Register describes recent
visit OF the British and French ConsuIs, at
Mobile, accompanied by few friends, to
the British sloop-of-war Rinaldo, lying, of
that port. The party went out under a
flag of truce. The Register says: "The
ship had left New Orleans the day BEFORE
and the news was prevalent when she left
that Mcclellan had taken Richmond and
$4,000 Confederate prisoners. They were
evidently not sorry to learn on board that
on the contrary, Mac had been driven back
thirty miles, and narrowly escaped being
taken himself. Indeed, there was no mis-.
taking the sympathies of the officers and

DISCIPLINE.
From the Richmond Enquirer.
To discipline and drill is McClellan in>
debted for the safety of that portion of his
army now lying on the banks OF the james
River. The rout of Manassas taught him
the inestimable value of discipline and drill
Profting by that experience, Gen. McClel-
Ian consumed nearly whole year in IN.
ceasipg drill, in teaching his men the COM
pany, battalion and line man9uvres, and
familiarized by practice, they learned that
safety was only to be found in that mutual
support which comes from the touch Of
elbows"
