From the Philadelphia Inquirer, Merch ls
Yesterdays dispatches from Vieksburg, to the
9th inst, add to, rather than decrease, the mud
die about the Indianola Although we were in
formed few days ago, on the authority of q
paragraph in the Vicksburg Whig Of the 9Th of
March, that the rebels bad blown up our cap
tuYed Monitor, in spasm Of fear, caused by
the appearance of a 'tguaker" gunboat, we are
now assured that "the Indisnola was so badly
wrecked that the rebels cannot raise her.n That
same paragraph in the Yicksburg Whig had q
very suspicious lock about it It appeared the
day after General Stephenson tslsgraphed Gen.
Remberton that they fthe ensmy) were raising
the I8dianola That was on the 4th Of March,
eight days after the engagement in which the
IudiGnols was captured, and siso eight days ef-
ter the "quakerp gunbost was set adrift
We trust t may prove true that onr unfortu-
uase little iron-elad is SO badly wrecked that she
can net be raised, but the WHY foe has set afoat
So many false reports about ber thst we fear she
nav soon be found aHoat herself Admiral Por-
ter win act wisely if he keeps sharp lookout
for her YesppeRTance.

pant boasting Bndshers first showed
the white feather, though they pretended that
the turreted vessel were their own invention.
But when the Monitor foundered st sea they
took fresh courage, and concluded that vessels
OF this kind were q failure. Intelligence has
since reached them Of a gunboat of the same
description having westhered a most terrible
Storm and when the news which we published
yesterday has crossed the Atlantic, showing
that snother Of our iron ciads has stood pro
tracted bombardment from rebel fort without
any material injury, they win have learned
new lesson in naval warfare which may not be
without some influence in eurbing the exscu-
ton Of their designs to intervene in our domes-
tic concerns, if they can only do so with impu-
nity.-NeD0 York Herald, 18Th

favored or boys (who bad gathered IN large
numbers to lslen) with q variety Of popular
pieces, the best style. Applause from the
audience on each side followed. The band then
struck mp g Dixie" and executed it in a cred-
liable manner. At its eonelusion, our soldiers
ssut up such a shout as made the wekin ring.
This was followed By Yankee Doodle" when
a hurst Of applause from the Federals followed.
Finally, the band played Home, sweet home, p
melody which al could feel and appreciate ;
and when it was finished, such q shout went up
from both srmies as I doubt has ever been heard
on earth. 1 looked around me, and saw tears
coursing down many fuuowed and battle
worn cheek, and if the frantic cheers that went
up from the osher side Of the river were any
criterien, our neighboring enemies were IS much

The Iron-CIa6s aud For6s-The Fight on
she DGeeckee.
The interesting account of the battle between
Fort NcAllister, on the Ogeeehee river, and the
iron-clad gunboats of the monitor pattern which
we published yesterday, is full Of instruction
and that Of the most practical kind The result
shows thst the arnored vessels of the monitor
pattern are not only the best aaoas but that they
are invulneyahle TO such metal ss that used by
the rebels at Fert McAllister. Whether they
have heavier guns At Charleston, Savannah or
Mobile, can only be determined by sctual con
aiet, and whether their beavist can make any
impression on our iron-elads, Is 2 question which
must soon be solved The fact that Fort Meal
lister was not actually taken, does not deprecate
the merits Of the iron-clsd feet Hsd it been 9
stone or brick fort it would have been knocked
to pisces. Fort Sumter, for instance, Weuld
have been made a heap Of ruins in half the
time. But being an earthwork of q peculiar
construction, and the damage being repaired as
fast as it was inflicted, Fort McAllister was en-,
abled to hold out for time; but had it baen
necessary to reduce If, there can Be little doubt
its demolition would have been achieved In,
deed, if it had been worth while, the fort cQuld
have been taken by land attack. The object in
attacking it st all was to capture or dest0y the
Nashville, protected by its guns. That accom-
plishsd there was no longer any necessity tc
lowed the destruction of the rebel craft was
merely to train the inexperienced hands on the
other iron-elhds and prepare them for greater
achievements.
The FIRST practical test Of the value of IRON
essed vessels in war was IN American waters
the destruction Of two ine frigatss by the Mer-
rirnsc, in q very brief time. in Hampton Roads,
sud the repulse Of this ship By the original Mon
itor-a dwarf against giant-an object appa'
rently 50 significant as to be compared to "a
cheese-box on q raft" The news Of this naval
seton startled all Europe proving that its forts
and wooden vessels were Of no avail against the
iron elads in the event of an invasion, while, on
ths other hand, il would be imprhctcable fol
she old hulks of England and France, or such
iron-elads as the mechanical genius Of those
nations was as yet enabled to construct
to capture the ports Of the United States
