He lays down the following inciples, which have always been maintained by engiseers—namely: Forts must fall before a competent land attack, and forts are competent to resist and repel vessels. Both ef these principles tave been well settled by military experience, and. bave received fali iliustration in the recent wttack on Fort Pulaski. After an elaborate argu- ment he states the following conclusions: That the plans of our seaboard ba:teries, of the simplest possible character, cancot be improved essent'aily.

The Monitor then came up and sailed around the Merrimac, both vesse!s firing at each other, the Merrimac endeavoring to get afluat, and the officers becoming greatly dejected. After she Bot off she ran out to the Monitor and commenced leaking, her bows becoming shivered. Shots from the Monitor nearly went through her The engineer told the lieutenant {n command that the two last shots she received had injured her, and !f she received one more in the same lace it would come into the engine room. Lt. Sones then conciided to return. She was badly dented, and although not placed Aors du combat, Sustained enough injury to take a long time to repair After this fight she was taken to the Navy Yard, and next morning went into dock for re- pairs, remaining about one month.
