from an officer Of the gunboat otsego, ad-
dressed to q gentleman In Brooklyn, describes
the loss Of that vessel In Roanoke river:
eve came up on an expedition last Friday,
and having reached q point near jamestown,
we inst with an accident. A tin cass Of powder
floating In the river came under. our bow and
exploded, making . good-siIed hole. A mo-
ment after another followed. and In two min
utes after the frst explosion We were on the
bottom OF the river. The hurricane deck is
above water, so not . life was lost. Only one
person wss seriously injured. 1 saved what
money had in my room, but lost everything
else save tho clothes I stand In. The rest OF
the expedition went on, leaving a force OF
thirty men and nine officers upon the wreck TO
gusrd Il I'll their return.
"We have rigged up q sort OF tent on deck
with sails and awnings, and are as comfort
able as possible under the circumstances. We
have each tin pot and pan, an iron spoon
and Jack kuife, and rations for ten days
thus living in somewhat primitive style.

"By the way, the officers and men Of this
vessel were very kindly entertained on board
the A. my transport General Birney, commanded
by Captain Ward, and We wish 70 make him

In favor OF the guns and their solid projeetiles--
the spherical shot for smooth bores being,
however, immessursbly superior 70 the elon-
gated rine-shot In every form. That is 70 say,
no manner or thickness OF iron or steel armor
that could be carried on the huils Of ses-golng
ships will resist the impact Of solid spherical
shot fred from the heaviest callbres Of the
navy, at close range, with appropriate charges
Of cannon powder.
