THE PHANTOM RON-CLADs-wHAT NEW
YORK Is TO DO.
The phantom rams set heavy upon the
Yankee stomach. The New York Herald
has a long editorial on the subject, from
which we take the following:
These ships are the same "French
rams" of which our readers have heard
before, and which the Emperor once
detained" while one of them was yet
on the stocks. They were built for the
rebels originally; but it was found i'm
possible to get them out Of France and
into rebeldom directly without the know
ledge of our Government so they were
got out by means of bogus sale to the
Danes and the Prussians- engineered as
similar matters have been in England in
the case Of the Alabama and other CRUZ
sers. We give to-day portrait of one
of these vessels, known in Europe as the
Sphynx. She is formidable ship, but
not, as has been over-hastily said, the
most formidable ahoat. Her engines arc
of three hundred and fifty horse power
and her ram is thirty~five feet in length.
She has two turrets, pierced collectively
for eleven guns, and plated with iron
four inches and three-eighths in thickness.
Her hull is plated with four-inch plates.
1t is the opinion of good judges, who
have examined the ship, that her armo,
will not resist the projectile thrown by
the fifteen-inch guns in use in our navy
1t is very probable that that point viii
soon be brought to the test. Our cor.
respondent informs us that the destina
ton of these vessels is this city. 1t i:
the place at which, perhaps, they coult
strike their most effective blow. They
might 60 up the James to strike a
Grant; but the ease with which h
could open new line by the Weldon
road would then nullify their efforts j,
that quarter They could not re-ope,
Wilmington any more than Porter alon

TIE YANKEE COTTON FLEET.

The United States steamers Flag and
Wayanda, which sailed from Port Royal
on the Sth instant as part convoy to
twenty~four vessels, laden with General
Sherman's captured Savannah cotton,
arrived at New York on the l4th. The
Kewanee, another of the conveying
steamers, arrived at Newport, Rhode
Island. But neither Of these steamers
brought with them any Of the cotton
