With any reasonable degree of momentum, the blow would be irresistible. Running at @ rate of ten miles an hour, it would penetrate and pulverize a solid rock. ‘This powerful ram was further strengthened by three fore-and-aft bulk. heads, extending the length of the vessel. These were again braced by cross bulkheads, water tight, by which her hull was divided into twenty-eight compartments. Thus, in addition to the strength im- parted, her own side could be stove in by a ram, or she might be pierced or even ‘* riddied” by cannon shot, and still she would float. The filling of any two or three of these compartments would by po means cause ber to sink, Her main deck was open forty feet back from the front apd thirty feet forward from the stern. From these points the casemates enclosing the gun deck commence, ‘These casemates, like those on the old gunboats, rose at an angle of forty-five degrees with the deck and were eight feet high. They were of heavy gum timber, and plated entirely around with iron.

She had two high pressure engines, having twenty-six inch cylinders each and eight feet stroke. They stood op the main deck, but were so situated as to be secure from chance shots, She was avo furnished with pumping ep- give and auxiliary steam apparatus for repelling board- ers. Her pilot house was a six sided cone, its sides having an angle of forty-five degrees with the main deck. They were of heavy timber, and securely plated with iron. AT her decks, wherever exposed, were covered with three quarter inch irom, besides being strong in timber and planking themselves, The wheelhoures were covered with iron on the sides to a line even with the hurricane deck, and om the ends were protected from fore and aft shote by extra iron-ciad caremates, baving the same inclination as the sides of the vessel. ‘The quarters for officers end men were on the main deck. Aft of the wheelhouses the enclosed portion of this deck war divided into rooms for the reveral officers’ menses. The crew swung their bammocks on the gun deck, fer- ‘ward of the wheels.

As you may suppose, matters im this vicinity have as sumed an entirely diferent aspect from what they were two weeks since. The rapid and overwhelming Union victories have thoroughly crurbed the roressioniste here; they are uerd up vompiftely, and sithough some still doubt that Vicksburg has surrendered, the majority show by their extremely jong faces the utter bopelesaness of their cause, Two weeks since every thing appeared gloomy enemgh, yet now the rkies never looked so bright since the first gun was fired at Fort Sumter, This morning we have tho news by the steamship Columbia of the great vietory of Genera Meade over the favorite rebel General Lee. This ia the ‘*lant feather that breake the camels back,”” and we may consider the rebellion as being virtually crushed. There ie @ little work to be done in this vietmity yet; but it inks into such perfect insignificance ip comparison with affairs at the North that it ts hardly worth mentioning. We have received the particulars of the surrender of Port Fludson; but they are of very, little moment. When ‘the salutes were fired in honor of the surrender of Vicks. burg tha rebels very naturally desired to know what they wore for. When the information was conveyed to General Gardner, the rebel commander, he addressed a mote to GeneralBanks and asked if be had ony official jaformation on the subject. General Banks replied by Gardner at once asked that General Banks appoint « | board of oMfeers to arrange with three appointed by himeelf the terms of surrender. This was immediately done, and the terms of capitulation were agreed apon on the afternoon of the 7th. The formal surrender took piace the next that moruing our at | time cooupying the stronghold.
