the ramparts of Fortress Monroe on her
way to Newport News about a quarter
before one o'clock, The vessels all car
ried the rebel flag al the stern.
The gunboats had The French flag at
the mast head, and the Merrimac had a
Gag at her bows described by some as the
Commodore's blue flag, and by others as
black flag. She appeared very low in
the water. Her sides, bow, and stern
were slopng, and covered with iron
plates, extending about two feet below the
water line and meeting above like the
roof Of house. At her bows on the
water line, we're two sharp iron plows,
about six or seven feet apart Her num-
Der of guns is stated at twelve, but she
might not have had so many. At her
bow t"o guns were seen projecting from
long eliptieal port holes. The design of
the enemy did not become apparent until
between l and o'clock.

A /" snapper, wanted.

The military lash that has been braided
out OF Union muscle ana hung to the good
old Revolutionary stock for the purpose of
whipping the rebellious members of Uncle
Sam family into subjection, il long enough
and heavy and only wants good snapper
to make II effective. A good many cotton
strings have been spliced ON and wern out in
vain. endeavor to get "crack" out of
them. Is there no raw silk in the country.
Cannot the Government command skcin of
the Jacksonian quality? Was General Scott
the last OF our genuine snappers? General
Mcclellan has been fourished and swung
out at arms length great many times and
timorous snap has been the only result. We
think he is silk mixed, with good deal Of
the mixed. We want a snapper to our whip.
We have frayed the lash badly trying to get
one. We have severely tried the handle.
There is not so much patriotic elasticity in
the little end as there was. The butt is
somewhat worn with experiment handling.
Greeley fooled withit and got the bulge Of
the lash across his philanthropic nose for his
awkwardness. Fremont tried it and spoilt
the pretty feminine parting of his hair
Pope bombastic swing kecled him heels
over head into Minnesota We are not ce, :
tain but " Honest Abe has tnsled his fin
gers q, little trying to bring out F" snap"
1t is evident thata good many have hurt
themselves some, at the expense. of the coun.
try. Plenty Of snappers are offering, snowy,
elegant looking snappers, just the things to
ornament the lash with when 1t Is idle but
worthless for such heavy service as the pres
ent requires, We pant snapper to our
whip! One that vii. crack every time it Is
swung out, one that will tingle the ears of
Rebellion leaders and make them "git up
and git :" out of Richmond, Or any other
place. There will be no steady " 60 ahead :"
