The IrOnSides.

Nh. Fuller, Editor of the Baltimore
american, who is now corresponding
with that paper from Charleston, de-
scribes visit to the noble Ironsides,
the grandest man-ofwar afoat:
~ had the pleasure yesterday of Wis
it to the lronsides, and of an inspection
of her interior She is undoubtedly the
best and most powerfully armored vessel
that has yet been constructed, and the
nation may be well satisfied if those now
building of the same class, though differ
ing in plan, have as many excelencies
and so few defects. Had we now two
other such vessels capable of the same
service the Ironsides, the problem of
taking Charleston would be of compara-
tive easy solution. There is not a rebel
battery on these shores which the Iron
sides cannot in one hours firing COM
pletely silence During the attack on
Morris Island she drove the. gunners
from the guns of Wagner half a score of
times, and quieted Gregg with a broad
side. AT the last general bombardment
she did the same for Moultrie, and if the
way was cleared from distractions, be-
lieve she could steam with impunity up
to Charleston, and conquer the city by
her impregnability and ponderous broad
sides.
In all her service here not man has
been killed or wounded by the enemy on
board of her, Notwithstanding she has at
times been under the concentrated fire
of the rebel batteries at twelve hundred
Yards distance From stem to stern she
bears the scors and deep indentations of
the enemy's balls, but as yet her defen-
sive strength has been uninjured, whilst
her offensive power is 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 pound rifed Parrot The weight of
metal thrown by her from one broadside
fire is within fraction of fifteen hum
dred pounds, or three thousand pounds
for both broadsides. No vessel that has
ever yet been in action has thrown an
equal weight of metal, and it is yet to be
proven that the armament of the Iron
sides has not reached the extreme range
to which the caliber of guns can be taken
without detracting from their servicea-
bleness and capabilities for active firing.
As it is, however, the Ironsides is un-
doubtedly the pride of our iron-clad navy,
and we can only regret that we have nc
others of equal powers of defense and of
fense"

Slavery and White Labor.

From the Catholic Telegraph
So long as slavery is established by
law, and protected by law, and acknowl-
edged by the Constitution, we never
can remove it. Individual efforts will
amount to nothing. The philanthropist
may appeal to humanity and justice, and
the priest to religion-it will be all in
vain-the law protects it, and there it
must remain. 1t will survive to make
the white laborer mean in his own eyes,
and place him and his children under
the power of the slave owner
If, on the other hand, the slave is
emancipated, he has to depend on him.
self The Southern master who once
owned him will refuse to employ him,
not only on account of the change in the
relations between him and his former
/ slave, but also because he can engage
white labor which will be more to his ad
vantage The superiority of the white
man then becomes supreme. He ha'

A FA1LURE.-The London Army and
Navy Gazette, of September II, regrets
to state that in the late experiments with
the Armstrong guns at Newhaven the
defects of the lead-coated shot and fine
growing were very apparent, as happen
ed in the previous practice. With the
full charge of twelve pounds several of
the shells burst at the muzzle, and one in
the gun, cutting up the growing; while
others of the shells were stripped of their
Lead coating and fell short. Last Thurs
days experiments, which were conducted
partly to try the fuses, showed that the
110-pounder could not be depended upon
in the hour of greatest need in close
hand to hand combat, and establishes
also the fact that the peculiar nature Of
the Armstrong rihing rendered it very
difficult, if not impossible, to obtain a
safe fuse to the gun.

saying is, he becomes master of the sit

Thus the white laborer must see, un-
less stone-bind with prejudice, that
whatever he does to restore slavery he
does against his own interests. The law
makes the slave the rival of the white
laboring man repeal the law and the
white laborer is allpowerful.

The Presidents Message.

We publish on anothcr column n SYNOPSIS of
the Message OF President Davis to Congress.
This dos ument will be read with more than the
usual Interest, and the people of the Confedc.
racy cannot but feel highly gratfed at the com.
paratively prosperous condition in which our
puGhc affairs are represented by the President.
Compared with the Message delivered to Con.
gre6s one year ago, there will be observed a
striking contrast III tone and spirit: Then was
the darkest hour Of the Eevolution-our arms
had recently met With serious and repeated re.
verses, and the President, in his Message, in.
stead OF cmdeavoring to conceal from th. people
the true condition of things, as our enemies
have done under similar circumstances. ac.
quA,nted them with the full measure Of their
disasters, expressing at the same time the con.
hdent belief that, with proper energy on our
part and firm reliance upon Almighty God,
the cause would ultimately succeed Now the
aspect OF affairs have materially changed, and
ue President, in the same spirit Of honesty
and ca"dor, tells the people that the fourth
great army OF invasion in Virginia has been
defeated, aud that Burnside has experienced
the fate oi his three predecessors, Mcdowell,
Mcclellan and Pope. This he does in no terms
OF empty Boosting, but as one conscious OF
strength and profoundly impressed with the
favorable prospects before us.
The President expresses the confident belief
that this is the closing year Of the war. This
prediction, coming from the source which it
docs, will be hailed with delight by people
who have so long experienced the inconveni.
ences and ha'dShips N one OF the most terrible
wars known to history aud the prospect of an
carly dehver.ncc from our troubles should
inspire us with feelings O! grateful acknowlcdg.
ment TO God, by whose help alone We have
been enabled to sustain ourselves against the
overwhelming odds with which We have had to
contend.
