ARRIVAL OF THE REBEL RAM
STONEWALL
She Rims naun a ST..

This formidable iron plated ram arrived from
Havana this morning, under convoy Of the U.
Is. steamer Rhode Island, Commander Alex
ander IL. hurry, Tin charge of the expedition,)
and the u. S. steamer Hornet, Lieut. Com.
mander George Brown, U. S. N, the Stone
wall being under command OF Captain J. q.
Febiger.
In coming ND the river the Rhode Island got
aground of Bnzzard's Point, and the Stone
wall came to anchor off Giesboro, but will
come mp TO the Navy Yard at high tide.
The expedition had good weather on the way
from Havana until off Frying Pan Shoals,
when the weather getting rough, they were
obliged to run in and anchor off Point Lookout,
in vicinity of Beaufort. The Stonewall proved
herself good sea-boat, and she has all the
qualities to make her an exceedingly ugly GUS
toner in conflict. 1t is the opinion of good
Judges tfat she would be more than a match
for any wooden vessel of war; that il would
he by pure accident alone that a wooden yes-
sci could hope TO cope with her. She would,
however, stand a bad chance in an encounter
with our monitors, armed with 15-inch guns,
and sending projectiles which even the 4-inch
plates of the Stone wall could not resist.
The armament of the Stonewall is a three
hundred FOUNDER Armstrong gun and two one
hundred Founders. When prepared for action
she can steam 10 knots per hour, and being
able TO turn rapidly, she could, doubtless, with
her enormous PROV and great momentum sink
any wooden vessel afioat. Her coating of four
inch iron plates extend three feet below water
line. Her ram projects IS feet she is brig
rugged, and has two propellors and two rud-
dtrs.
When off Smiths Point. Chesapeake Bay, q
New York schooner attempted to cross her
bow, but either miscalculated the speed of the
S;oRewall OF was not aware of the presence of
her ram, and was struck by the latter, sinking
her almost instantly. The engines of the Stone
wall were Immediately reversed seeing the
movement of the schooner, but such is her mo-
mPntum iron her weight of metal, that it was
impossible 10 stop her in season to avoid the
collision. The crew of the schooner were
saved.

Craven on charge of failing 10 capture the
Stonewall, viii take a trip down the bay in

Commodore Craven was censurable for failing

The Hornet has arrived up at the Navy Yard

as the captured blockade runner Lady CLYDE.

recommending that negro testimony be admit
