Our suecr.. a, New Madrid.

Gen. Pope, in his report 10 Gen. lIalleck,
in relation to the victory at New Madrid,
says: " Our success at New Madrid has
been even greater than reported. Twenty
five pieces of heavy artillery-2l-pounders
and rihed- -ihiriy-two batteries of field ar
tillery, an immense quantity of fixed am
munition, several thousand small arms,
hundreds of boxes of musket cartridges.
three hundred mules, tents for an army of
10000 men and an immense quantity Of
other property Of not less va'ue than a mil
lion Of dollars, have fallen into our hands.
The men only escaped. The enemy's whole
force is demoralized and dispersed in
swamp on the opposite side of the river.
The enemy abandoned their works so hur-
riedly as 10 leave all the baggage Of the
officers and knapsacks of the men behind.
Their dead were unburied. Their suppers
were on their tables and their candles were
burning in their tents. A furious thunder
storm Whlch RACED all night, enabled them
to get across the river without being dis
covered. Our heavy battery was estab-
lished during the night of the 18th inst.
within 800 yards of the enemy's works.
we opened fire at daylight on the 18th inst,
just "a hours after the guns were delivered
to the army at Cairo. During the whole
day on Friday, our lines were drawn closer
around the works of the enemy under
furious fire Of so pieces of artillery. The
fear Of an assault upon their works at day
light induced them to fee precipisately dur
ing the night. Many prisoners have been
taken, and the coors of several Arkansas
regiments. Our loss is about so killed and
wounded. IIollins was commander Of the

lrOn-Ciad Ships.

AT recent meeting in New York Civ
at which the subject of Iron-clad ships was
discussed, George L. Schuyler. made a
speech, and by request wrote out the SUBJ
stance of it for the New York City Posi-
from this we make the following extract =
AT your request send you the substance
OF my remarks to you this morning upon
the subject of shot-proof vessels. The
affair at Hampton Roads proves conclu-
siveiy that vessel can be SO thoroughly
protected against shot, that she can receive
the broadside of frigate without injury
when approaching alongside, and also that
two such vessels similarly protected can
light each other five hours, as did the Mon
itor and Myrrimac, armed with guns of the
heaviest calibre, without injury TO shin or
men, probably until their ammunition was
exhausted.
A shot-proof vessel like the Merr;m,c
or Monitor thus becomes the most formida-
BILE OF attack upon the water, passing mn.
harmed the largest Forts and attsrt in,
without injury ships of any size.
How, then, are they TO be repulsed; No,
by a useless expenditure Of ammunition a.
long or short range, for in their power Of
resistance they have ousripped the improve.
meEts IN cannon, and for the pfesan, or,
powder Is useless as means OF destrovina
them. Many years ago 1 correspondsd
WIN the then Secretary of the Navy. Mr..
opshur' upon the changes which would take
place IN naval warfare, in consequence Of
the introduction of steam. Ny object was
TO call attention to the fact that if steamers
were quilt OF very grea, speed, with The
BOWS made shot-proof with iron plates So

could resist his fire, more execution conlJ
%. 1e done by running down vessels than by
the use of cannon. " 1
IL u generally supposed that in sucb a

Victory nj NewbeFu.

Wednesday brings US the good news of a
victory by Gen. Burnside over the rebels
at Newbern.
Our troops under Gen. Burnside landed
on Thursday evening, near the mouth OF
Swan Greek, on the west side of Neuse
river. fifteen miles below Newbern. Early
on Friday morning the fight commenced.
Our troops advanced along the country
road running parallel with the Neuse river,
but mile or two in the rear.
The road was skirtel on the west side
by railroad and dense swamp all along
the river side, were series of batteries
which were taken by our troops one after
another, after some bloody hand TO hand
contest.
Our troops we're divided into three brig
AIDES, under Gems. Reno, Foster and Forks.
We advanced gradually upon the enemy,
until we reached line of earthworks ex
tending across the road from the river TO
the swamp on the west, distance of some
two miles. These earihworks were located
about two miles south of Newbern, and be-
tween there and the city ran the Trent
river. In front of these works the rebels
bad telled large number of trees forming
an almost impenetrable abatlis. There
the rebels were rallied. and male for
while desperate stand. Our brave fell
lows fought until all their ammunition was
spent, when an order to charge bayonets
was given, and the works were finally taken
at the point of the bayonet, the enemy fiy-
ing like frightened sheep, leaving everything
behind them.
1t was at the last fertilization that the
rebels made their most desperate stand, and
where our loss was the most heavy. The
rebels had trains of cars in their rear by
which they carried off their dead and wound
cd. Our loss is estimated 80 killed and
400 wounded. The rebels had a force Of
about 5000. Among the prisoners we took
was one Col. Avery who cursed his soldiers
as towards. Lieut.. Col. Merritt of the SD
Massachusetts,, and Adjutant F. A. Stearns
OF the Mass. 2lst, we're killed. Adiutant
Stearns was from Amherst.
The rebels attempted to fire the town on !
their retreat, but were prevented by the
citizens who extinguished the flames as
fast as they were started by the soldiers. I
We captured from 80 TO 80 cannon.
The officers of the rebels left their pri- /
waite traps behind in their final retreat, and i
the men threw away everything.
The fight terminated at three Z. NJ. on Fri
day, when ouT troops remained masters of
the position,
