THE MiGRUDER FLEET.

The success Of the Magrudcr feet has
demonstrated its efficacy. To aid our friends I
at other points in preparing TO meet the en-
emy, we give them some idea OF Gen Ma
gruders plan. Ii not original, tits better,
10 is successful. We believe the credit OF
the Invention is due to him. Whether this
is so or not, we trust cur naval men IN o.
tber quarters will not hesitate to adopt II
because it was not go, up by a sailor. Qniie
a fleet Of boats is now being got ready on
this plan here, and they will teach the in-
vadcrs what it is to attempt II breach OF our
tlcicnces. The 'wooleu walls OF England
have long been famous. ltis left for Texas
10 Gain equal credit with the cotton walls
now defending her She has made good
beginning,
Oar rivers and harbors abound in high
and low pressure steamers adapted 10 'he
rive. commerce. The hulls Of these steam
ers are usually good, and With the requisite
STRENGTHENING. such rs Captain Lubbock mas
nut into the State boat Bayou City, can be
made sufficiently stuunch fer rams.
Upon the boiler deck cotton bales two
or three deep are piled up aud securely tas-
tened to frames built up from TIE hold OF
the boat. These extend all around the boil
ers and machinery. A row of cotton bales
is also placed on the cabin and another on
the hurrican deck to protect the starp-shcot-
ers.
Sharp-shooters and swivcls from behind
these upper breastworks are enabled, IN
nerfect safety, to sweep the decks OF the
enemy, and thus prepare the WY for boar
ders.
These boats arc armed with rifcd 32's or
larger Guns. Quite likely some OF the guns
from thc WestdelI, Of which there are
splendid Dhalghren, may be put Oh some
Of tho boats. These large guns are
single one in the bow OF each boat, and there
are small guns also in the stern. The boats
must he fitted with wrought iron bowspri's,
very sharp nt the end, and furnished with
barhs, to enable Them to hook on to the en-
emvs vessel. A steel PROV, under the wa
ter also, does its work in scu'tIinG the enc
my.
The wrought iron bowsprit with harbs are
of more importance than the steel proWs'
inasmurh AS they enable our boats to
hang on to the onemys ships until the
crews can hoard. The crews are generally
$50 10 200 men, armed with double barrel
runs. pistols, cuttasses and bowie knives,
aud able TO SLASH their way through my
thing. Once on the enemy decks nothing
can prevent their taking the ship.
Tie capture of the Harriet Lane was ~
chieved withithe loss OF but five men 10 the
/, vcsse! boarding her, and so litt|e injury was
',lone TO either vessel, that both are now ret-
dv for service again.
/ With such vessels fttelup on all our bays
and rivers, we could soon have y lare por-
/ tion Of the cnemy's feet But for the white
/ Aag ruse OF tie enemy, We Should now have
twelve instead Of i've OF the feet at Gal
| weston.
The Marruder feet has shown what can
. be done with genius to plan and pluck TO
carry ont the enterprise. Let the Comman-
ders elsewbare take the hint and act upon
it, and we viii soon he as formidable to the
enemy on water as on Standardization Iefc-

so late that sufficient notice was not given

A G0OD SPtCULATION-W Gen. But
lrr took command i'll New Orleans, after
the surrender Of the city, one of ais first
o!tyal orders inte dic'ed the circulation of
Confederate notes which, constituting tho
almost exclusive circulating medium, were
held in immense numbers. The inierdic-
ton brought the rebel paper down to fifteen
cents on the dollar. At that rate Andrew
J. Butler brother Of the general, and
formerly Of San Francisco, went quietly
into the market, supplied with specie from
the United States military chest, and bought
up all the rebel paper he could get hold Of.
" hen his purchases were completed, an or
der was issued by Gen Butler, command
ing the banks Of the city 10 redeem all
Confederate paper presented to them with
their own paper specie or United States
treasury notes at par. ThcreupOn Andrew
J. Butler walked down to the banks with,
it is said, about 81 l,500000 Confederate
notes; for which he had paid fifteen cents
on the dollar, or S2JO,000. In United
States money-received his 81, 5000 re-
turned (probably) S2j0,00O to the military
chest whence he had taken it., and came
out of the little Job with S1,275, 900 profit
ON less than six weeks work and without
the investment Of one dollar of his own
money.-Stockton Democrat.

TRADING WIN THE ESEMY.--We are iu
receipt off, long communication ON this
subject, in which the Wriier points TO tho
facts that constant trade is kept up with
Memphis. and goods brought here by spec
ulators who sell them at unhcnrd Of prices.
Boots at $50, calico So Il yard, ct cctera.
Our correspondent hints that the military
authorities permit, If they do not sanction,
this trade. he goes on TO show that these
goods are bought with either Tennessee
money, gold o. cotton. The result is that
&c tcderuto money is deprecated. Wc
cannot publish the entire article, bccause
il makes indirect charges and its whole
tone is too bitter We are giving place now
10 some communications on The subject Of
cx:ortion, in which Mossrs, Phax and Fig
gers talk quite plainly, and this must SUI
flee for the present. Bul the conclusion OF
the ar.ce before us is worth thinking Of
The writer says il this indirect trade is to
be permitted, why not have DIRECT trade.
Send to Cincinnati aud tell the Yankees to
send a boat load at once. BY sending TO-
Memphis. aud coming through the hands OF
spectators, the goods are so high priced
as to be beyond the reach Of the poor, while
if they come direct, prices would fall. Says
he: "It trade is lawful and to be permit
ted, for the sake CT tie poor let it be direct
trade. Proclaim that trading boats viii b.
allowed to come to our leyee. Open out
port to Cincinuati boats. Give US all >.
chance If is unlawful, stop it," Thcra
is matter for Thought in this, for as it is,
our country is being depleted of its Tenn g
see money, its specie and its cotton.--L. Il.

THE ENEMY's RAiD-We were all much
surprised few days since, to learn that fed
eral troops had landed and marched to
Tallulah and thence TO Delhi, on the
Vicksburg aud Shreveport railroad, distant
from Monroe about % miles. They captur-
ed ald destroyed or carried away large
quantity OF Confederate property. They
also burnt three of the most important
bridges on the route, viz: at bayou Macon,
Tcusas, and lake One. They also burnt the
depot at Delhi, and materially injured the
railroad track The bridges, we are inform-
ed, cannot be rebuilt under years of hard
labor. We presume we are once more cut
of from ali communication with the coun-
try east of the Mississippi river, save that
which may be carried on by the "runners
of the blockade "-South Western.
