Our Iron Clads.

The iron-clads which took part in
The recen, fight before Charleston were
nine in number. The Ironsides. Capt
Thos. Turner, has a capacity Of 3.486
tons and carries Is guns, l6 of them l !
inch, and two 200 pound Parrot guns.
The Keokuk Capt. A. &. Rhind. which
was lost. had capacity 740 tons and
two II inch guns. Each Of the ether
vessels has capacity OF 864 tons
and carries two guns. one II inch and
one / 5 inch calibre. The following are
the names and the officers in command:
Monsauk. Capt. John S. Worden.
Passaic, Capt. Percival Drayton.
Weebawkeh. Capt. John Rodgers.
Nahan.. Capt John Downs.
Katskill. Capt. G. w. Rodgers.
Paiapsco, Capt. Daniel Ammen.
Nantucket. Capt. d. NJ. N Fairfax.
An II inch gun throws solid sho,
of 1870 pounds in weight; a Is inch gun
throws a solid ball weighing 476. The
Ironsides is not Monitor, and can fire
but half her armament at once; hence
the feet can throw at once l6 l inch
shot, Z Is inch shot and 200 Parro.t;
total "a guns; weight OF shot 6,772
pounds, or nea,ly three tons and a ha!f
Of metal in second We give the
following from correspondent of the
Boston Journal:
"Guns OF SO large cal;bre cannot be
!.red rapidly, not oftener than xix or
eigh, lines an hour. Time must be
given them TO coo,. Sixty times day
is probably the maximum. At that
rae tie expenditure Of ammunition will
be enormous. A single ll-inch gun
fired sixiy-times, or once every ten
minutes for ten hours, will throw ten
thousand eight hundred pounds Of me-
tai. A l5-inch gun fred at the same
rapidi,y will require twenty eight thou
sand FIVE hundred and sixty pounds !!
Any one Of the monitor class will re
quire ,hir;y-rine thousand three hun
drcd and sixty pounds, nearly twenty
tons Of shot! Each monitor will also
use about two tons of powder per day.
Tn. entire feet. working at the same
rate. will hurl at the rebel Notifications
four hundred and fifty thousand pounds
Of iron in ten hours, n, m expense OF
fifty pounds Of powder ! or Two hun
dred and twenty five tons Of sbo, snd
twenty-five tons of powder!
Many people have wondered at the
long delay on the par, OF Admiral Du-
pon', but they will appreciate the mag
nitude Of the undertaking when they
learn that the iron-clad feet would use
up in six days twelve hundred tons of
shot and shell. and hundred tons Of
powder y

Gen. Blunt's s Policy.

On Wednesday evening. Gen. Blum
made a speech at Kansas City. W.
copy the following from the repor, il
the Journal Of Commerce:
After enlarging upon these topics,
the General said there were another
class Of men who were, ii possible. Civ.
ing him more trouble and annoyance
than the rebels, and these were the
thieves and robbers, the land pirates
and privateess. There were class OF
scoundrels upon the border of Kansas
and Missouri. who had cut loose from
all restraint, and were ravasing the
country actua;ed alone by a love of
plunder. These '.Red Legs" as they
were some Of them called, claimed to
be loyal. and 20 far as that was concern
cd perhaps they nigh. be-bu. they
were plunderers, and In their view any
man who had good horse was a rebel.
These men must be put down, and all
good citizens must frown upon their
proceedings. If they wished TO fgh,
rebels. let them go into the service like
honorable soldiers. The people of
Kansas. as wei! as Missouri, were suf-
fering from this class OF marauders.

An Evil.

There is sore evil existing in this
part of the world. and we learn in other
sections Of the country also, which
needs looking into. 1t is this: While
the common soldier often has hard work
to get his pay. and for months his
family a. home are in need, the officers
can not only have ''plenty and TO
spare," but they are sending costly
presents home 10 their families or stock
ing their farms with horses aud mules.
This is all wrong. The Colonels OF
Kansas regiments are said 10 be doing
this, while we know that some of the
men have had no pay for five months
or more.
Ii is said, too, that the stock appro-
priated by officers (as well as other
valuables J rightly belongs 10 the gov
ernment, and should be turned over
accordingly. II SO, the Act cannot De
regarded in any other light than as dis
honest. It's sort of genteel stealing;
or stealing without the genteel,perhaps
This thing should be looked into, and
if no other remedy exists, send the
officers so far from home they canno.
run of horses and mules TO their farms
While the officers are making such
speculatlons on. Of the war, they have
no particular desire to bring it 10 an
end. Sop their stealing, reduce their
pay and make them fight. and the re-
bellion will speedily be crushed

The Copperheads.

AT a Democratic { 50 called) meeting
in Mercer county, Ohio. recently held,
the following treason was put forth
The Democracy Of that county are a
God forsaken set Of blockheads, many
Of them rs ignorant, almost, as Hottie IL
tots. aud just the stuff to make up into
rebel traitors and copperheads. We
lave been there and seen them. Read
the record Of infamy the poor devils
have written against themselves:
"WnEREAs. We are now on the brink
Of civil war, which will. no doubt. be
soon upon us with all its horrors, and
as there is strength in union.' it is
proper and right for us to unite in a
mass for mutual interest and protection.
TO meet the coming storm that has been
forced upon us by the ,yrannical and
unconstitutional acts Of the present party
in power. BE it therefore
"Resolred, = = that we will
not pay our hard earned money to sup
port petty tyrants in our midst, { Pro-
yost Marshals who. be it said 10 their
dishonor, are ever ready to do the bid
ding OF ,ha, mighty ,yrant, Abe Lincoln,
and his coadju.ors.
"Resolped. That the Abolition mem
bers of the Congress which ended its
career on the 4,h of March, 1868, was,
for rascaliiy, tyranny, ignorance, fanat-
icism and u|iraism, the most das,ardly
that ever ruled. reigned or fell.
"Resolred, That We will no, support
the present war as carried on by the
present Administration for the liberia
ton Of the negro. and for the damnable
purpose Of crushing the Democratic
party"

The Snssks Pop out their Heads.

The recent developments in Ohio.
Indiana aud Illinois show tha, the
snesks of the North, when they are in
overwhelming numbers of some forty
or fifty TO one will stick out their heads
from under the cover Of cowardice, and
make a demonstration as though they
really dared to do something These
occurrences show conclusiyeIy that the
sneaks must be attended 10. II they
are left unhung they will conclude the
government is afraid of them, Just as
the rebels of the South thought.
We have had quite enough of the
tender policy towards traitors. They
will not bear it. and it is dangerous to
treat then to any thing but lead. steel
and hemp. It's TO be hoped that every
one Of the villains who have thus risen
up against the authority OF the nation
will be put down for up) with the
strong arm Of power. A few examples
made of the ring-leaders in time will
have most salutary effect; but action
should be- taken promptly, or the vile
wreicbes will grow bold by delay, and
conclude the government fears 10 deal
with them.
The hanging of Vallandingham aud
a few of the other rampant leaders OF
the trai,orous crew would send dismsy
into Tie Circles of the Knights, and
cause scattering OF their members.
We trust Burnside viii execute his
recent urder with the utmost ri gor. and
make it tell upon the copperlleads un-
til none shall be left to pop GU. their
yenomous heads.

In Earnest {?

We hear il in,ima!ed that Gen. Blunt
is not in earnest in his order against the
"red legs" and thieves and robbers in
general. We cannot believe that the
General in command of this Division
would be guilty Of such duplicity and
knavery as TO issue an order for the
suppression Of such characters and then
seci city connive al their viilainy and
share with them. their ill-gotten spills
No, We don't believe il. And we trust
the faithful execution Of his recent or
ders will convince all that he j. in
earnest in the matter. He owes it to
himself and to the community, oye,
which he is placed as protector, to b.
in earnest in the suppression Of crime
and the faithful execution Of his orders

Gen. Blunt after Thieves.

Gen. Blum. has taken the right stand
exactly. In an order TO Col. Lynde tx
directs lin to patrol the border coun
ties Of Missouri and Kansas, hold al
men found in arms as enemies, within
our lines and subject TO death. II,
advises 10 take as few prisoners Of hi.
class OF outlaws as possible, bu. il
taken 10 Lave them summarily tried by
court martial, and if found guilty. i'm
media:ely hung or shot. This will put
an effeciual period 10 the bushwhackers
in Blunt's District.
But lie is not satisfied with furnishing
outlaws on one side of !he line and
permitting them 10 carry on their vile
business on the other; and we regard
the following portion Of the order as
the most important feature for our
State in the document. We trust i,
will be faithfully and vigorously carried
out:
mo person or parties, bearing arms,
and mol in the military service. will be
allowed to go into the State Of Missouri
as camp followers; nor will such per.
SOUS or parties be tolerated in this Mill
tary District. and all operations against,
rebels must be directed by the legal
military authority. This Injunction
will apply expressly 10 an organization
known as "ReI Legs" which is an
organized band Of thieves and yioIators
Of law and good order. All such per-
sons found prowling over the country
without legitimate purpose, will be
disarmed; and if they shall be caugh,
in the act of thieving or other lawlsss
