TIE Loss or THE MosroE--ARE THE IaoN-
CLaDs A FArLuRE;-It is OF course patent to
everybody that our noble little Montor-that
complete solution of the great naval question Of
the age, which dictated reconstruction TO the
navics OF the worlds no more Apart from the
great grief felt for the loss OF this little dicta
tor and those noble men who persisted with her.
there are matters of far greater importance TO
the nation involved in this acsident. Have any
OF the destructive characteristics Of the Ericsson
system, the revolving casemate or turret, tho
concentration OF heavy armor over small ares,
because Of the small height which the vessel is
above water, and the protection Of those vital
parts-the rudder and screw-been overthrown
by this disaster. II so. the loss OF the Monitor
would, indeed, be a calamity to The country.
We have carefully examined into the circum
stances Of this accident in this view, and We are
happy to state that il does not initiate against
one of the features above mentioned. The
Monitor fonndcred from a leak, Ia severe
gale as many other vessels have done before
her. She was not engnlfed as many predicted
she would be, BY a single huge wave, bus
fonndersd in the usual manner. Her small
height above water bad nothing to do with the
disaster. Had she been twenty feet high the
result would have been the same.
The primary consideration in the construc-
ton of the Monitor was the raising the
blockade OF the Potomac. Her deck was
pierced by four large holes, covered with bomb
proof gratings, two FOR the escape Of the pro-
ducts Of combustion and two for the admission
OF air to the blowers. These apcrtures were pro-
teeted when at sea, by means Of thin iron pipes.
and the leakage around these nearly caused the
loss Of the vessel on her FIRST trip to Fortress
Monroe The hull proper was merely large
scow, without any attempt at model. the bnlk-
head which supported the turrct being the only
one in the entire vessel.
The new Monitors, instead OF having their
decks pierced with large holes, receive he air
down through the turrcts, and discharge the
gases from the furnaces through shotproo'
pipe Of sufficient height to prsvcns The sea
from entering The hull proper instead Of
being mere scow, is of the ordinary
form, strengthened by means OF no Loss
than five heavy transverse nAixheaas, be-
sides strong fore and aft keelsoas, OF which the
original had none yet, strange to say IN tho
fearful ordeal to which she was subjected no
want OF longitudinal strength was observed.
The cracking OF the plates at the junction or tho
overhanr. which 50 completely protects the
r,d5er and screw, was the cause Of the sinking
~ Tho Monitor. In The new oaes not only II
mi. ovsrhang very Mdch les, owing to an i'm
nroved arrangement Of tie screw, but II Is Sc
cured ia much stronger manner. Besides,
should q leak ocSar IN this part tue water Is.

such step. That be b 10 favor Of the Davis
government none can doubt His actions
prove this. A careful survey of his present po-
sision will convince those who understand the
people OF France that Napoleon can make ca
Phai with them by a recognition Of the South
efn confederacy; and we are all aware that
he is ever ready to follow where his inte-
rests lead. We must not imagine that respect
Tor our power will deter Napoleon. Oar mis-
takes and blunders have taught him to doubt
its existence.
