THE Ocean Iron-clad Dictator has been
armed with the Ericsson 9-inch guns. This
gun, it is stated. will burn ever fifty pounds of
powder, while the 15-inch Dahlgren, when
throwing $50 pound shot during Dupont's at
tack upon Charleston, only burned thirty five
pounds. The British G8-pounder (of IL 500
pounds), said by HE Royal Highness, the Duke
OF Cambridge to be the most powerful gun in
the service with six cen pounds of powder,
near one-four,h of fifty pounds, has an in
tial velocity of 800 feet per second and
therefore punching power against iron
plates of q, 900 pounds. The riff gun, with
charges of one tenth to one twelfth of
the shot. and the 14-inch gun with charge
of IS pounds to It's shot of 525 pounds, have
velocities varying from 100 to 1.4OO feet
per second. The 800 pound Parrot has,
therefore punching power of 5000 pounds
and the Is inch gun of IS 600 pounds The
new CUR with IS pounds charge. One-third II
the weight, will have as great velocity as the
69-oounder, and its punching power 6 900
pounds or exactly dLuble that of the English
gun. with 1U0 pounds of powder, it's velocity
SHOULD be rails. TO 2, 600 feet. aud it's punching
power will be So 600 pounds. or $40 tons. 1t
can be seen a. glance that if piece of ord
nance of this magnitude can be successfully
constructed, naval artillery is years ahead of
the science of building war ships, for there is
no craft in the world which would not be fair Y
capsized by blow from bal striking her
with force OF 800 tons.

Ct the site at West Point on which is to
be erected monument of the officers and
soldiers of the regular army who have
fallen during the present war, may be
found in this paper, to ensure its perusal
by all our readers. The Grafton is on the
classical model and eminently worthy of
its distinguished author, and proves that
he is not only ripe scholar, and chiyal-
rio soldier, but Christian statesman. The

are now in arms against the national flag
