The IRoNsIDEs.-This vessel has fulfilled
and more than fulfilled the fondest expecta
tions of her inventor, and of the Navy De-
partment. A writer says of her:
Had we now two other such vessels capa-
bic of the same service as the Ironsides, the
problem of taking Charleston would be of
comparative easy solution. There is not a
rebel battery on these shores which the Iron
sides cannot in one hours firing completely
silence. During the attack on Morris Island
she drove the gunners from the guns of Wag
ner half a score of times, and quieted Gregg
with broadside. At the last general bonn
bardment she did the same for Moultrie, and
if the way was cleared from Instructions,
beliege she could steam with impunity up to
Charleston. and conquer the city by her own
impregnability and bonderous broadsides.
