The F.deral G5TeTnmons has lately COM
pls.ed new gunboat at St. Louis, ofwhieh the
Cairo Democrat Of ths I9sh ult. gives the fol
lowing description:
The new iron mentor WiRlebsgo that an
ehored in the river opposite this city yesterday
morning forms an era in the history of the sx-
traordi6aTy riso aud progress of bulldog gun
boats upon cur Western waters. Sac is the
wonder Of The waters, and what makes her ps-
eulis1ly the pride Of Ill Western mon, is the
fact tkat she WAS built by Western men, and
carries improvements and inventions in the me-
chanism Of her construction that are destined to
eamplately TsVola!ioaiE5 all ideas that have
heretofore obtained, epoh the subject Of build
ing war vessels. Prominent among al thsss
modern inventions is tho Esds' turTes that sits
tower Of defensive and offensive strength, snd
= proud ard lasting monument to its inventor,
James B. Eads, an old and much respected citi-
zen Of S.. Louis.
The failure of the Ericsson turEeiB was fully
sttassed in the great fight Of the monitors ct
Charleston, and the inventive genius of the
world WAS put TO the severe test Of remsdyiDg
these evils. This is fully accomplished by the
Esds' t1rre.
We give this description Of this wonderful
piece of mechanism, and do not hesitate to
pronounce it the great ne plus ultra in its line.
