The United States gunboat Monongshela
was yesterday successfully launched from thu
navy yard. A large crowd of persons assem-
bled, and long before the hour had arrived,
the surrounding shipping, wharves and dry
dock were crowded with persons eager to catch
glimpse as she touched her element. About
twelve hundred people, including many ladies,
were on board. The Monongahela had re-
ceived lttls or no decorations, such as are Gus
tomary on like occasions, having but two flags,
one at the bow and one at the stern.
At half-past twelve o'clock, everything be-
ing in readiness, the order was given, and the
men Immediately began to remove the stays
from underneath the vessel. Soon the air was
filled with the sounds of the hammer, and at q
quarter of one o'clock she glided do 8n the
creased ways and foated gracefully in the
stream, amid loud cheering. The ladies enli-
vened the occasion by waving their handker-
chiefs. At the bow of the vessel were assem-
bled number of military and naval officers
and Miss Emily V. Hoover, daughter of the
naval constructor of the yard, who, as the ship
touched the water, broke bottle of cham
payne, and pronounced the name of the vessel.
After she had hoated with the tide some
distance up the river, she was made fast to the
tug Monitor, and conveyed to the wharf.
While rounding she accidently came in con-
tact with the gunboat Iohican, anchored in
the stream, and tore away large portion of
the railing and framework from over one of
the stern portfolios. The Mohican had her
bowsprit seriously injured, and about eighteen
inches CT the figure head carried away.
The Monongahela is an exact counterparto Of
the Juniata, which was launched last spring.
| She has been well and strongly built, and has
been thoroughly cross-tied and bolted.
She has received none of her masts yet, and
win be coppered as soon as the docks are
empty. Her propeller will not be attached for
| two or three weeks, but the other work will be
pushed on rapidly. Her armament will con-
sist of three pivot and tive eleven-inch guns
one two hundred pound rifed cannon and two
thirty-two Founders. She viii be ready fol
sea by the middle of September. Her dimen.
sions are as follows: Length, 225 feet between
the perpendiculars breadth of beam, SO feet
depth of hold, II feet inches. Her draft
when provisions and men are on board, viii b
Is feet. She could, if desired, be iron-plated
but it is not probable that this win be done.

The system of guerrilla warfare now being
prosecuted by some troops organized under
authority of the so-caled Southern Confed-
eracv, and others without such authority,
being so pernicious to the welfare of the
community where it is carried on, and it ,e-
ing within the power of the community to
suppress this system, it is ordered that wher-
ever loss is sustained by the Government,
collections shall be made, by seizure of a
sufficient amount of personal property, from
persons in the immediate neighborhood SYM
pathizing with the rebellion, to remunerate
the Government for all loss and expense of
ton.
Persons acting as guerrillas without organi-
cation, ana without uniform to distinguish
them from private citizens, are not entitled to
the treatment of prisoners of war when
caught, and will not receive such treatment.

THE REBEL ARMY.-Tbe old stories
of rebel descitution and dependency are
again prevalent. We confess we hear
these things with serious misgiyings, for
heretofore they have been the forerun-
uers Of engagements in winch we found
the same rebels well supplied with am
munition at least, and not so low spirited
but that they could use it with too much
effect. Still, there is every reason to
believe that the rebel army in Virginia
Is now in a precarious situation with re-
gard TO supplies, considering especially
the approach Of winter. 1t cannot but
be so. The south, particularly Virginia,
has been nearly stripped bare of meat
provisions, as the raids into Maryland
and Kentucky have testified. But their
stock Of corn and wheat is probably sufi-
cient 20 carry them through the year.
AS 10 clothing, they must steadily be 60
ing from bad to worse.
That they are broken in spirit, how
ever there is no evidence. IF the au-
thorities think so, it is Just She time to
push on our armies, for in that event they
might end the rebellion before the new
year. But in all probability continuous
hard fighting for some length of time will
alone settle the matter. 1t is not proba-
BILE that Lee is in a condition to re-cross
into Maryland and give US battle. Nor
is it at all likely that he can afford, as re-
ported, to send 10000 soldiers over the
mountains TO the assistance of Bragg in
Kentucky. But we shall probably find
him in force and at bay when our troops
under Mcclellan go over the river.
Then We trust will come the great deci
sive Union victory Of che war.-Boston
