New York, November 2O.-The Tribune
prints a full and accurate account OF
John Erricson's wonderful new torpedo
boat. 1t is the most formidable engine OF
death known to naval warfare. The in
ventor of the Monitori Is one Of the modest
and unpretentious mechanics Of the age,
and would not be likely to exaggerate the
merits of his own work. He is entirely
satisfied with the results Of the recent ex-
periments with his torpedo boat, and some
of the most experienced naval officers in
the United States service do not hesitate to
pronounce it an unequivocal success. 1t
will be seen that Captain Ericsson has in
vented three things, = boat, 4 gun, and a
projec,ile. The bUst is submerged like the
Monitor. with all the machinery below an
intermediate deck II plate iron, which Is
strongly ribbed, and supports an intended
armor plate. The deck-house above the
water has no ports 81 the side, and can be
split awe without the vessel being dis
sbled. 4 heavy wood backing adds addI-
tonsl protection TO the wheel, and the
electric battery sud steering gear is ten
feet below the water line, with her attack
ing bows, and defying with her rmo the
heaviest ordnance. The destroyer is prac-
tically ~invulnerable, and at the same time
a most terrible antagonist. Her
meni consists Of 8 single breech-loader Of
wrought iron hoped with steel, and a bore
OF sixteen inches. This gun lies seven feet
under water, and discharges a projectile
containing $50 pounds of dynamite. When
the boat, with its crew of men, is within
300 or 400 feet Of the enemy, the gun is
fired by electricity, and the projectile ex-
plodes BY conclusion. If the first shot
fails another follows in q few minutes, and
toI pedo Commandment proceeds with great
rapidly, no time being wasted in charging
the gun. The substitut ton Of gunpowder
for compressed air in the operation OF
charging the gum, vastly increases the eff
cheney Of the armament. 1t nay not be
too much TO say that il leaves the mightiest
iron ships Of the world completely at her
mercy.

Treaty.
