The Trial of the Iron Clad,.

The preliminary trial of the iron clads at the
bombardment of Fort McAllister is calculated
TO enhance the general confidence in their secu
rity under fire. The Montauk was struck over
sixty times, and on nearly every part of her
armor. The turret was, of course, the special
target OF the enemy's gunners, and it was hit
some twenty-five times, twice very near the
port holes. But the only mark of the worst
shots was dent about the size of a saucer
The deck armor was badly scared, but not
at all injured. In short, all the iron clads en-
ployed in the engagements showed themselves
invulnerable, always excepting the possibility
of being hit in the small port holes. What
remedies are provided against this contingency
we do not know. The engagement was a very
fair one, as the distance was short, and the
three iron clads were subjected to the firing of
227 projecties.
There is little ground for apprehension, there
fore, that in the coming attack on Charleston
the iron cads will be materially injured by the
fire of the enemy, even if they fail in their
grand enterprise But it would seem from
the preliminary trial that the chance OF failure
will be due, if any exists, rather to the OBJ
structions IN the channel than to the fire of the
forts. This was the case in the Ogeechee Riv-
er. The channel was INSTRUCTED by row of
piles driven, not directly across, but diagonaly,
so that the iron clads could not lay abreast in
the narrow channel and operate together, but
had to be ranged one behind the other But
it is said that the indefatigable Ericsson has
invented some appliance for removing obstruc-
tons, which promises to work to complete salts
faction. Three out of four of these foundered
on the voyage from New York, and the sub
sttution of others has delayed the grand at
tack. But everything WAS nearly in readiness
at our last advices.
