IRON CLAD ENGINES OF WAR.-The Iecent APP
pearanco Of tho Merrimac in Hampton Roads,
furnishes theme for great deal Of newspaper
comment, respecting the &C ievements Of such a
craft. 1t is now thought that she can outsail
the Monitor, and if she cannot, it is by no
means certain that the latter can prevent her
sfom gJing to sea 1t is also rumored that the
rebels have other similar engines of naval war;
fare ready to be tried at other points along the
soast, and although these stories may be without
}oundation, they naturally excite great uneasi-
ness. Our wooden vessels, composing our block
aiding squadrons could offer no serious resistance
&c She attempts OF such iron clad vessels as the
Herr llnac to get to sea. and once at large there
Is no limit to the damage they might accomplish.
There is much complaint against the Navy De-
partment for ueglecting to build similar or more
terrible eng ines OF war. At present the public
arc in almost as much dread of what they deem
it possible for The Nlerrimac and similar rebel
craft to perform along the Atlantic coast, as
wo,o the rebels along the Tennessee and the
Cumberland, at the appearance and achievements
Of Com. Foote's iron-clad gunboats.
The daily Green Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1861-1865, 1862-03-15

The rebels now say that Manassas was never
intended as a defence of Richmond. but as the
base OF operations menacing Washington, the
Upper Potomac, and Maryland. Now, as our
advance compels them to think of defending
their capital, they are falling back to ID shorter
circuit of operations. They expect Mcclellan
will approach them as esurely in their new
Notifications as in their old ones In this tney
will unquestionably be mistaken Whether tia,
General is in favor Of rapid and vigorous for
ward movements now or not, there is no choice
left for him. If he gives the rebels time to
throw up new entertainments, his reputation as
an efficient General will vanish completely

STRATEGY.-We give elsewhere copious ex-
tracts from the correspondents with the advance
Of the Grand Army. They all agree in one
ting, viz that the strength of the rebel posi-
tons in front of Washington, both in men and
entertainments, has been greatly overrated. The
rebels have occupied that position defantly for
more than six months The war during that
time has cost the Nation over $200, 900, 000.-
The army has escaped a, last and fallen back to
new line Of defense for the better protection
Of Richmond. The result Of strategy on the
Potomac begins to be evident. In view of this
result is there not much force in Secretary Stan
toms declaration, What, under the blessing of
&" Providence, conceive to be the true organisa-
I" t,on of Victory and military combination to
end this ,Oar ,vas declared IN fen words By Gen.

DEMocRATIc.--Thc Democratic press are Civ
ing President Lincolns gradual abolition mes
sage the cold shoulder. The Democrats opposed
it in Congress, and they will soon oppose it ev-
crywhere. They say the President means we'll,
but he is mistaken in supposing that the thing
is practicable or desirable. Slavery has been
tor so long time their main stay, their only
stock in trade, they are not willing to give it
up. And they do MT just now praise Presi lent
Lincoln 50 much as they did. 1t may be safely
predicted that they viii be quiet on that subject
tor while At present they find abundant en-
ployment in pralsing Gen. Mcclellan, who has
been relieved of the command of the army, and
has at last found out that the rebels have es
capped from Manassas.

4 3LooDLEss VICTORY The laudators of Gen.
Mcclellan are ust no" clarifying their chiefrain
on account Of the bloodless victory at Manassas.
Tney ought to have that consolation. 1t has
,aken their General six months to compel this
evacuation. Balls Bluff has happened in the
meantime. And beside that record of death.
will these admirers of strategy give us the num-
Der OF those who have died along the Potomac
since last October? Before Gen. Mcclellan is
praised for the humanity that has spared lille in
suffering the rebels to escape from Manassas, let
the dreary and mourniul procession of the dead,
who have laid their armor down in camp pass,
and let them bear witness. There are more
graves along the Potomac, of soldiers who lave
died waiting for the onset, than all who have
been killed in every engagement since the war
