One ofOur Iron Tubs.

The Navy Department advised Con
gress to- set apart more than three and a
half million dollars to complete the So
called harbor-defence monitors, but the
new Navy Appropriation bill as reported
in the House, gives no money for this
purpose. One of these monitors, the Mi
antonomoh, has already cost, in construc-
ton and repairs, nearly a million and a
quarter dollars. If completed. her arnor
will be seven inches thick Even the ten
inch eighteen-ton guns of the British
navy pierce twelve inches of wrought
armor, and the sixteen-inch eightv-ton
guns pierce twenty-five inches, or thrice
the thickness of the Miantonomoh's coat.
When all the additional expense asked
for her has been laid out, the guns of or
dinary foreign ironclads will be able to
riddle her, and many Of them can shoot
clean through her.

COttOnIn California.

San Francisco Call.
The idea of importing colOred cotton
pickers for the purpose of giving cot
ton culture a fair trial in portions Of this
state supposed to be best adapted to it,
and which was conceived by Mr.. VIM.
B. Carr some months ago, is about to
crystalize into an acutual experiment.
A gentleman who is thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the requirements for this kind
of labor. and who understands the eco
nomic workings of hired negro service,
has satisfied himself of the capabilities
of our southern counties to make cotton
growing, under proper labor conditions,
a practical success. He has arranged for
bringing out a colony of one hundred
colored field hands, who are expected to
arrive at Sumner within a few weeks.
They will be under a contract with Mr..
Carr for one year. The gentleman who
has undertaken to furnish these field
operators feels confident of satisfactory
results. The project is a private one,
entirely outside of the area of the immi-
grafton societys dispensations. White
labor has been found to be too expensive
for cotton culture as profitable industry
in this state, and there are various objec-
tions to Cinnamon. There are in this
state many old ante-bellum cotton plant
Fers from the south, who have faith in
the adaptation of the soil and climate of
southern California, with the proper
combination of labor incident. to make
cotton planting one of the great indus
tries of the state in the near future.

That they are yelling louder now than
