A sUBMARISE ToFEDo BOAT.

Since we have been on this side Of the
river we have got up q good many pro-
jects, and have been interested ia many
new schemes, the particulars Of which
are too lengthy for an ordinary letter.
Among the number, however, was q
submarine boat built at this place, OF
which Whitney and myself bought one
fifth for three thousand dollars.
WHAT HAPPENED 10 TIE BOAT
We took her TO Charleston for the
purpose Of operating there, and o
few days after her arrival there she was
sunk through carelessness, and her crew
Of five men drowned Another crew Of
eight men went on from here, raised
her and while experimenting with her
in the hsrbor, sunk her, and all eight

destroyed an immense deal Of valuable
railroad, breaking our communications
with the country from which the larger
portion Of our supplies for the Army
