President. that no one can stand among the
ruins OF Iona and not feel his piety grow
warm, nor upon the field of Thermo-
pyla without feelings of more feryent

me impossible for any SON of the

OF that magnificent statue erected by Vir-
glnia to the memory OF the great Washing
Ton, and Marshall, and Henry, and Jeffer-
son, and Nelson, and Mason, and Lewis,

and contemplate the acts that noble patriot
and Christian soldier, who stands in brouze
as he stood when the deatll-haiI fell thick
est and fastest, as "Stouewall,o and not

that nothing can rob us of our glorious and

We could not Ascertain whether there had

pears that long ago case of burial alive
had led to the e~tsh.isnmeLt of this Gus

since, to avoid the recurrence of such . ca

first Of these halls in which the bodies Of the
poor were deposited and there found eigh-
teen bodies, not laid out - if for burial but
reclining in floral bowers or resting upon
beds OF flowers. Spectators were not ad-
mitted TO the room, but they were sur
rounded by windows through which . full
view and inspection of each could be had
There we're eighteen bodies in this room,
seven OF which were infants and eleven
those Of grown persons, except one q beau
tiful girl Of about twelve years, arrayed in
white muslin, resting on a bed of flowers,
with 4 wreath Of orange blossoms around
her head reclining as il asleep with her
bare arms lying careIessly by her side.

We are not only, it seems, to have steel
clad men-,!-war, but steel projectiles a.
we'll, for the gunnery experiment. at Shoe
buryne.s prove beyond doubt the efficacy
Of these missiles. There ia one Whitworth
projectile, We are told, which has twice pen
etrated an iron target Of twelve inches
without being any the wore for the process
1t is made of what is termed compressed
steel, and the only proof it bears of having
passed through the solid iron plate Is the
fact that it is shorn Of the projecting studs
of brass. For its second Journey it was only
necessary tor the proj-ctlie to be restudded,
and il then fitted the gun "a accurately az
before. Very little Is known as yet OF the
action Of steel shot against steel armor but
go far az experiment has gone, it appears
pretty evident that by the aid Of such pro-
jectiles guns will onc- more gain the ascen-
dency over armor. A steel plate will re-
pei an ordinary chilled shot, which passes
easily through an iron plate. Thus at
Spezza, when the l00-ton gun Of Sir Will
liam Armstrong was proved, it was found
that while a twenty-five inch iron plate
was readily pierced,a steel slab Of the same
thickness ehectually repulsed the shot.
The steel got fractured in the trial, but it
did not allow the shot to pass. For the
moment, therefore, armor triumphed over
gun, for as long as battle ship can keep
out an enemy's shot it is q matter of little
importance whether her metal scales suffer-
For this reason the ltali, ns, the French
and ourselves are all contemplating the
building OF steel-clads. But now comes the
question whether steel shot cannot ipjure
steel armor as fatally az the chilled projec-
tiles damage our iron-clads. This il ex-
ceedingly probable, and if 40 We shall be
no better of than we were before. The only
difference will be that the cost of produc.
ton both Of armor-plates and projectiles
will be magnifed. We shall be able to
afford but one steel-clad haitle-ship for
every three or four iron-clads. Just as we
have ceased to count our sail of the line by
the hundred, and now number iron-clsds
BY tens, so in the future-when 1t comes TO
he adoption Of steel in the navy, our bat
will be represented in units.
