ANOTHER REBEL VIEW OF THE SITUATION
AT VICKSBURG

The Mobile Register and advertiser of NAV Is
admits that the movement Of Grant is q bold
one and s'that it has been SO rapid as up to this
point to surprise and out general the Confed
crate authorities" but thinks that by extending
MS lines IS miles he had fearfully exposed
himself to having his connections cut. The
Register has ere this seen this crumb of comfort
swept away by Grants mastery movement in
placing himself in position on the Yazoo and
Mississippi, above Vicksburg, and contracting
his lines TO q few miles In extent.
The following extract from the Registers ar.
ticle Is Of interest, as indicating the extent of
the forces counted upon at that time to resist
Grant in his advance from Jackson upcn
Vicksburg, but which he SO utterly routed as
1t turned out:
"Near his (Grant's) left wing, resting on the
Mississippi, ia the neighborhood Of the Big
Black, is the main body Of Pemberton's army.
johnson, witty some 5000 men, is in front of
his right, and IL position to mmunicate with
or join Pemberton In q nights march, whilst
third army Is being massed ON this side of
jackson, subject to orders to cross Pearl River
above jackson and Cooperate in q fight with
the enemy in front, or to cross below and at.
tack him in the rear. There is also reason to
believe that column Of reinforcements from
Port Hudson is still behind Grant, and will be
maneuvered to take part in the battle soon to
come off,"
The Register says that both Port Hudson and
Vicksburg are amply provisioned for siege.

sault on Sumter by the new and untried vessels,
exposed to the terrible flanking and rakng lire OF
numerous other forts, is fraught with incalculabIe
benefit. Whatever may be the Interior object OF
government, the substantial advantage has already
been secured of knowing exactly what the IRON
clads can endure, and what remains to be done to
render the new system perfect. 1t was high time
that practical test was instituted, since we are
building more numerous lron-cad fleet than Is
possessed by all Europe. The nation may thank
the commanders of the Monitors for the knowl-
edge gained through their gaantry. With less
daring on their part, the Navy Department would
yet lack some information necessary to direct the
completion of the impregnable feet now building.
At the same time, the spirited attack on Sumter,
and the havoc made during half an hours con-
test, warns the Confederate leaders that they
must keep their numerous batteries fully manned,
land that they must not for a moment slacken
their vigilance, with Dupont and his Monitors
within half days sail.
The history of war may be searched in vain for
an instance of such costly preparations, kept up at
such vast expenditures as Charleston now re-
quires, TO ward off the blow from half dozen
small vessels, manned, proviSioned and coaled at
less cost than an ordinary frst-class screw ship.
Yousr very respectfully,

The Monitors at Charleston.
To the Editors of the Evening Post:
w INFIELD SCoTT."

To the Editors of the Evening Post:
SIR: feel called upon to state, for the infor.
nation of the country, that the mperfections of the
Monitors, shown by Admiral Dupont's trial of
their strength at Charleston, are not of serious
character. What has happened will be readily
obviated for the future. Every thing connected
with our new fighting machines worked precisely
as intendsd-not single change of plan being
called for. The plothouse proving of insufficient
thickness was not an unforeseen circumstance
The limited experience which we have had in &C.
tual conflict indicated that eight inches thickness
would be sufficient, but it was by no means as.
sumed to be settled point. Hence such con-
struction was adopted that, without removing the
structure, or changing its interior arrangements.
any number Of additional plates might be attach.
cd to the exterior, and Its thickness increased to
any extent. So with regard to the turret it is
constructed of an interior skeleton cylinder COM
posed of plates firmly riyeted together, to which
any number Of plates may be bohed. 1t is by no
means We: established that our turrets require in
creased thickness, excepting, possibly, at the base
The public will do well not to De alarmed by the
remarks of inexperienced observers, who are star
tied to see the indentations produced by the enc
my's projectiles. We apply armor to keep out
hostile shot, not to prevent scars and ndentatons
So far we have fully succeeded. 1t will be prop.
to observe that the supposed imperfect steering
qualities are utterly groundless. There is no
class of vessels in the navy that obey their helm
so readily as the Monitors. The reason is self.
evident. The large equipoise rudder employed is
acted upon by the powerful current from the pro-
peler with such force as to change the course of
the vessel with the slightest motion of the helm.
In strong currents and shallow water, as in
Charleston harbor, no vessel can be readily ma.

Charleston-the first practical test of iron-clads-

A Record.

In booking over file of papers Of 1850, we
found the following resolutions, which for the
benefit Of the curious, and those who have short
memories, we reproduce
l. Resolved, That we adhere with unwaverng
constancy to tho Jefersonian proviso, and, not
withstanding its abandonment by many of these
whs have heretofore claimed to be its exclusive
friends, we will insist on its application to all ter
ritory of which the United States now have or
ghali hereafter have jurisdiction.
2. Resolved That Congress possesses the
power to prohibit slavery in the Territories, and
that its uninterrupted exercise since the formation
of the Government under all administrations from
Washington to Polk, has established it as an ad-
united rule of practice.
3. Resolved, That slavery does not now by
law exist 10 the Territory conquered or acquired
from Mexico--and that We stand and shall stand
opposed to the admission of any slave State into
the Union that shall be formed out of any part of
that territory by whomsoever, and wheresoever
slavery shall be therein established.
d. Resolved That slavery does not depend on
lines of latitude or points of compass, or upon
" Physical Geography" but upon the unhoy Gu
pidily of men to enjoy the fruit of the labor Of
Others
s. Resolved, That the existence of slavery and
The slave trade in our National Capitol is a dis
graceful inconsistency which calls loudly for cor
rection, and that we insist on the abolition of both
by act Ct Congress.
Is. Resolved, That Congress should leave the
daestion of the reclamation of fugitive slaves
where il is left under the constitutlon-but if it
undertakes to pass an act to aid the Shareholder
In the pursuit of his victim, we protest against
any law on that subject which does not fully pro-
vide for trial by jury for every person claimed
az a fugitive slave, in the state where he may be
arrested. .r.
We admonish our readers not to be too hasty
10 pronouncing the above to be radical stuff
They were passed by the Democratic State Con-
ventiou, held at Montpelier in $780, and were
she platform upon which Hon. Lucius B. Peck
received Democratic support for Governor of
Vermont. The resolutions were reported by Col.
j. P. Kidder, and other distinguished Democrats
were members of the Committee which drafted
them. They were regarded as good Democratic
doctrine then. And we would like to know
whether 1t is slavery that has changed since
1850, or the Democracy of Vermont, that now
VIC End such condemnation of Radicals " from
men who call themselves Democrats At least,
before they make too much haste in their denun-
Citations Of Republicans, little consultation of
their own record might be profitable.
