DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERIOR.

D0oNhAF1ION OF The lNTEklOks
She has inside three decks; first the
gundeck, two hundred feet long by forty
wide; Immediately below this is deck
two hundred and eighty feet long, which
is subdivided into the Captains cabin aft,
the ward-room, the petty officers quarters,
and forward the mems quarters. Below
this deck is the third, the orlop deck, in
which are stored all the stores, provisions,
&c. Immediately fore and aft of this
deck are the magazines. The engines and
their necessary compliments, of course,
occupy the centre of the vessel These
engines are the same which were in her
when she ran the blockade as the old
Fingal. They were built on the Clyde,
and are models for their beauty and action.
THE ARMoR OF THE "ATLANTA."
First and on the outside were wrought
iron bars, six inches wide by two inches
thick, running perpendicularly with her
side, and properly secured, both above and
below, by rivets and bolts. Across these
bars, horizontally, and on the inside, ran
bars of like material and pattern, fastened
to the outside layer by the strongest rivets.
Within this layer, and fastened to it, were
two thicknesses of live oak two-inch plank,
also, running perpendicularly and horizon
tally, and again within these were two more
similar thicknesses of Georgia pine plank,
forming the last series Of her armor. You
will thus see that her armor is twelve
inches thick, and presents all the solidity
which could be given it by four inches of
wrought iron, four. inches of live 0ak, and
four inches of Georgia pine.
THE EXTENT OF THIS VICTORY.
Such is but feeble description of the
rebel ram Atlanta, which Captain John
Rodgers has the honor to present to the
Government. She is certainly superior, in
many respects to any ram which has yet
been built; and, as Webb said, if she had
not ran aground, the result would have
been different. She is very fast vessel
When she came into the harbor, yesterday,
she was making, in heavy sea, seven
knots an hour; and our officers, as well
as her own, say that she can under full
speed and in ordinary weather, make elev-
en- knots easily. This speed is much
greater than that of any Of our Monitors,
and she might, if she had not ran aground,
steamed away from them, defying pursuit.
As it was, Providence interferedi in our be-
halt, and the Atlanta, immovable in the
mud, became an easy prey. 1t was re-
markable short engagement; only nine
shots in all being tired-fve by the Wee
hawken, and four by the Atlanta.

Three Heroes.

\ member of the First Minnesota Regi-
ment, in writing us, makes honorable men
ton Of three members of the Second
Company of Minnesota Sharpshooters,
now attached to the First Regiment:
The boys allude to were each about
sixteen when they entered the Company.
Their names are, David Archibald, Will
ber Coleman, and Elbridge S. Barnes.
They have always been familiar with the
use Of the rifle, and their deadly aims have
told on many battlefield. Two of them,
Coleman and Barnes, have marks of the
enemy's bullets; the foimer was wounded
just above the ankle at the battle of An
tietam, but prevented the enemy from GET
ting his &C Sharp" by taking it along with
him when he left the field; the latter re-
ceived a very severe wound in the left
breast-within half an inch of his heart
at the first battle of Fredericksburg. He
is still alive, but will probably never be
able to resume active service Coleman
returned to his company before his wound
was fully healed, and was sent back to the
hospital; but he is now in the ranks, and
ready to meet the enemies of his country
again. At Antietam his GOODNESS and bra
very were particularly noticed, loading and
firing with as much calmness and precision
as if at target-shooting, while the messen-
gers of death flew thick and fast around
him. The same can be said of the other
two. Archibald has, l believe, been in
every battle in which his company has been
engaged, and has passed through those
fiery ordeals" unscathed. His black
eyes still sparkle with life and animation.
While strong men have fallen upon the
field, and sunk under the hardships of war.
that boy, who was once thrown out by the
mastering officer on account of his youth
ful and tender appearance, has withstood
all privations and dangers, and still stands
by the side Of his friend Coleman, ready
to send death into the ranks of traitors.
The parents of these three bows. and
others who know them, may well be proud
of them. They all hail from the same
neighborhood, near Lake Minnetonka. /
would also say that Coleman has had fonr
older brothers in the Union army.
In speaking thus Of these three bows. I
would by no means disparage the claims
OF others. Honor to whom honor is
due. A SOLDIER IN THE 8" FIRST"

The Washington Republican, of Sat-
urday evening last, gives the following
particulars of the capture of two of Hook
er's staff:
We learn that on Wednesday night last two
officers of General Hooker's staff went beyond
the picket lines to visit some charming South
ern ladies, and have not yet returned. Some
anxiety having been felt for them, OH Thurs
day afternoon messengers were sent to the resi-
dence ct the fair ones, and returned with the
information that while the officers were ma
king themselves sgreeable to the ladies, party
of guerillas surrounded the house and tore
them away from their charmers. They are
now in Richmond, no doubt, where they will
have ample time to lament the miserable folly
that led them into the trap that has already
caught number of soft-pated officers.
The names of these gentlemen as reported
to us, are Major Sterling, formerly of General
Bntterfield's staff, and Captain Fisher, signal
officer

Iowa that did respect, but now hate
them, for their denaOaiac actions. They cry
peace, when there is no peace. If thev
want peace why don't they shoulder their
guns and come down and help us fight for
it? Alas! there is no fight in them, and now
Tor fear OF big tax to pay up the expenses
OF those that have gone to fight for the
freedom they are now enjoying at home,
they cry peace, peace, come home, soldiers
and let the South go. have not forgotten
the crocodile tears some shed in Monroe.

anything to control my feelings so much as
to make me feel sorrowful. But to tell the
truth am tired of the way people are car
}, ring on in the North. 1t is shame, and
ave heard so much about their dislOyal-

really believe l would rather kill such
traitors as they are than the secesh of the
South. for the Southerners have some
show of excuse for their actions, for they
have really been deluded by their leaders.
But the Northern sympathizer with the
South has not q shadow of excuse for his
actions, so cannot help but have bitter
feelings toward them. One of the internal
scamps even rejoiced, shouted, to hear of
the death of one of our brave boys who fell
on the bloody field before Murfreesboro'.
If we ever get home we will nearly skin
him alive. wish to God that Uncle Sam
would draft all such scamps and make
them fight in the front ranks. Their in
fernal carcasses would do to stop bullets

~ The English Government, 1t is said,
has declared its intention to prosecute the
builders of the Rebel pirate Alexandra!
They ought also to prosecute the Laards,
who built the Alabama. As we under
stand, they have proclaimed that they
knew the purpose to which she was des-
tined, built her for the rebels, with full
knowledge, and justify their conduct. -
Does the fact that the vessel has escaped
release them from danger Of punishment
for their completely in violating the law
We should think not. Let it be enforced
against them, then. If the Government
does that, about which there can be no diff
ficulty, we shall believe it in earnest If it
does not do it, we shall expect the builders
of the Alexandra to escape just as easily.
The prosecution VIII VI proves mere e1s sham.
We. The recent qfot at Daytons.s natu-
raj commentary upon Copperhead teach
ings. The leaders are doing their best to
educate the ignorant, the vicious and the
lawless up to the point of open resistance
and rebellion. This they cannot do. But
they can get up mob in cities and towns
like Dayton, where there is large total
depravity element. Vallandigham was
advocating resistance to General Burnside
orders, resistance to the Constitution and
resistance to everything likely to hun the
rebels and save the Union, upon the stump
at the time of his arrest. He was doing his
utmost to inaugurate civil war in Ohio,
and, Judging by the results, by the large
supply of arms and munitions Of war in
the hands of his friends, and by their
prompt resort to FIRE and sword, he had
done much. . -,5
