Nnw BnRSH, April 20.-The terrible ram
which has been, and is expected 10 be further,
the cause OF 80 much distraction In this dis
triet, 10 described as follows:
In shape she resembles the destroyed ram
Aerrimac, and, like her, carries an instrument
OF destruction at her prov, which renders her
60 peculiarly dangerous In conflicts with wood
on vessels. Dr. 80
She is bnilt Of heavy iron plate, brought part
ly from Wilmington and partly from Atlanta,
Georgia, aud Is OF rather clumsy movement.
She possesses one aperture at her fore part for
the use Of heavy gum but her main purpose
10 to destroy by conclusion.
She is accompanied by formidable water
battery, securely protected by cotton bales, be-
hind which artillery and small arms can he
securely used. The nnmo OF this satellite Is
the Cotton Plant.
Il Is UNDERSTOOD that the rebels have likewise
two Others, one Mt Kinston and one at Colds
.bof6.s At this latter point they are known to
have organized complete naval brigade.
From this, apd in connection with the heavy
force now menacing-supposed to number
some sixteen or seventeen thousand men and
some thirty-siK pieces Of artillery--it is evil
dent that the rebels design TO compel the Union
evacuation OF North Carolina.
Colonel Vessels command consisted OF the
following;
s5th New York infantry regiment.
l01st Pennsylvania infantry regiment.
1854 Pennsylvania infantry regiment.
10Th Connecticut infantry regiment.
Two companies Of the Massachusetts heavy
artillery.
Two companies of the Cd North Carolina
volunteers.
Two companies OF the 18th New York cav

The enemy gained likewise upwards Of thirty
pieces OF artillery. of all callbres, including one
two hundred and one hundred FOUNDER Par
