The "IRoNsIpEs' AND HER CHARLES
TON EXPERIMENTAL letter from our fleet
of monitors in Charleston harbor thus de-
scribes their leader, the Ironsides, and her
experiences =
"She is undoubtedly the best and most
powerfully armored vessel that has yet
been constructed. In all her service here
not man has been killed or wounded by
the enemy on board of her, riotwithstand-
ing she has at times been under the cou-
centrated fire of the rebel batteries at 200
yards distance. From stem to stern she
bears the scars and deep indentations of
the enemy's balls, but as yet her defensive
strength Is uninjured, whilst her offensive
nower has increased through practice and
the perfect safety which the crew feel when
she is in fighting trim. Each broadside of
the Ironsides consists of seven 1l-inch
Dahlgren guns and one 200-pounder rifled
Parrot, The weight of metal thrown by
her from one broadside fire is within frac-
ton of 1900 pounds, or 5000 pounds for
both broadsides. No vessel that has ever
vet been in action has thrown an equal
weight of metal, and it has yet to be prov
en- that the armament of the lronsides has
not reached the extreme range to which
the calibre of guns can be taken without
detracting from their serviceableness and
capabilities for active firing"

The October number of Brownson's Re-
view contains an article on the Cathollcs
and Anti-Draft Riots, which should be
read by every one of the rank and file of
of the Democratic party, and by all Catho-
lies especially. Although the startling
opened the eyes of the more thinking minds
Of those who formerly were the Ajaxes OF
the old Democracy and emancipated such
giants as Butler, Dix, Dickinson, Brady,
Logan, and many others, yet the hosts
who do the voting-the sappers and miners
still rest under the most terrible delu-
sion. 1t seems to be the object of the Doc
tor to break up the deluslon, ana more es-
pecially since it is clear to his keen appre-
tension that the Catholic faith is likely to
suffer by the disloyalty of those within the
pale of the Catholic Church. OF the Riots
he says:
"That these riots were intended to CO.
operate with Gen. Lee in his invasion OF
MARYLAND and Pennsylvania, and to weak
en- and overthrow the Government by pre-
venting it from obtaining the forces neces-
sarv to crush out the rebellion, there is and
can be no serious doubt. It is certain, also,
that nearly nine-tenths of the active rioters
were Irishmen and Catholics Yet the
riot was not Catholic riot, and gives in
reality no confirmation to the standing
charge against the Catholic Church"

city as Catholics, or as Irishmen. It was
not by command of the church or as Cath
olics, that they resisted the draft, attacked
the officers of the Government appointed
to carry it into effect, made demonstrations
against the Republican press Of the city,
burned down the houses of prominent Re-
publican officials, destroyed the colored
Orphan Asylum, murdered negroes and
rifed and demolished their dwellings,
These things they did not as Catholics, or
Irishmen, but as adherents of the DEMO

Clement L. Vallandigham, and others, who

Government, against the conscrlption,
against the war, and had worked them up
to uncomfortable fury. The shouts OF the
mob tell us what was its anlmus, ana I'M

and there were hurrahs for Gov. Seymour,
Fernando Wood, Gen. Mcclellan, and Jeff.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-Specials this morn

thing new. The Tribune has the following:
The President has completed his reply
to the Missouri and Kansas Delegation,

the Chairman, Mr.. Brook, tomorrow
The Kansas delegates presented a distinct
address, asking, First, that the State be
made into separate department, and, sec.
ondly that General who understands the
requirements of the department be SUBJ
stituted. To the first proposition Mr.. Lin
coin is reported to have replied that he
could see no objections to making Kansas
into a separate department, provided there
were no obstacles from military point of
view. Several consultations have taken
place upon this and the other points, be-
tween the President and the Secretary of
War. Nothing is positively known as to
the conclusions arrived at by the President
but, those most interested incline to the
r,elief that Kansas will be made a separate
department, and that Gen. Schoneld will
not be removed but orders will be issued
directing Gov. Gamble and his military
council to carry out some if not all the re-
forms asked for by the committee.

Col. Bussey, in the course of his speech
the other evening, mentioned an occurrence
of the siege of Vicksburg that we do not
remember to have heard before. He said
that during religious services in one of
the tho churches of that doomed city, and
while the minister was in the very act of
praying for jeff Davis and the success of
the rebellion, a two hundred pound shell
from one ofthe mortar boats went crashing
through the roof of the church and explod-
ing, sent the rebel preacher and 25 of his
hearers to their final account. The Col.
saws the church still stands as monument
of the wrath of God; and the opening in
one of its walls made by the bursting shell
is large enough to admit a six mule team.
