8 OUR IRON-CLADS. eee THE GREAT IRON-CL4D RAMS What Naval Officers and Engi neers Think of Them. THE NEW LIGHT DRAUGHT JMONITORS, - ANOTHER BATCH @F FAILURES, Trial Trip of One of Them in Bestoar Harbor, Ken Ber bee ‘The more oer iromotad system is studica and re. ‘Wiewed the were developments are made. Not con- ‘tent with building tlretwo batches of Monitor batteries, which had proved @ below tee promise of the de- @igner in gpeed, power and invulnerability, contracts ‘were given out for two enormous ocean irov-clad rams— ‘the Dictator, with ove turret and two gues, and the Peritan, wit twe turrets aed four guns—neither of which is completes; but, frem ali that can be learned, ‘Bhey will prove more signal failures than any of their @malier prodeceseore. The best engmeers and sautical tm this country feel confident that in no eee feature will these vessels ‘ome up to their designer's contracts. It seems almost tacredibie that a Navy Department could be found which swoutd give out & contract for a vessel of nearly 4,000 tons, which is to cerry only two guos, and will cost before her @o.1 completion about $2,600,000; and yet this enor. mous expenditure bas been made, in the face @f various facie adgerse to the system, which were Koown tothe Department, but carefully concealed from the public. sides this, the reports of officers— @entlemen of great skill, and who had served on Board of these vessels—zreatly condemed them, and in @ome instances in streng offcisl terms. It migatin a @easure be consoling to us provided these vessels Promised any good results, or that this enormous ex- Penditure had ceased here, but such was not the case. ‘Goadod on by gain, new planus were designed to swallow fp all the regular appropriations, and to seek for more. Now that the whole ocean was to be subjected to the Prowess of these two wonderful sbips, the bays, rivers and shellow sireame must be attended to, consequently a ‘Wght draught vessel was proposed—a Monitor, of course. ‘Therefore twenty light draughts were contracted for, to ‘Be completed in from six to eight montbs. The follow- ting is the ist, wits the names of the contractors, date of ‘the contract and the time as which they were to be com- pieted:— Date of ? Moe 6 6 8 6 6 chi] 6 ams.

Weare informed that the vessel last contracted fer bas not yet fairly been started. At aay rate, it will Besix months before she can de launched, This delay has been caused almost wholly by the Navy Department, who bave been constantly employed in changing their Plans and @raw ings (rom time vo time, showing that they Dave been building by guesswork all the time, as they @id in the case of the second batch of Monitors; and had Shoy not ‘Duili up’? on those vessels at ieast eighteen Aincbes they would have sunk in the taunching. Now that we have had a couple of the wonderful Nigbt dravgbts launche’—veesels designed by an en @iveer of the navy, we are enabled to speak of them with some degree of certainty. Without boilers, en- gives, \urpets, guns, coal, stores, &c, they are out @f the water two inches at the @tern and thirty @t the bow, and, according to Mr. Mathew Matics, when fully equipped they will be about three inches Beneath the surface of the water, Such a state of affairs may have been cought for by the able designers; but wo should think that they had better organize a submarine @orps ‘to sail them. It is shameful in us to tolerate ‘men in positions of trust who will thus waste our money fo times Ike these. Tuese vessels should have been Dutit loug ago, when, if they bad been able to float, we tould have used them to sdyantage in the waters of Worth Carolina and elsewhere, One of these remarkable craft bas been completed acd $ried. A competent witsess—an old Boston captain— @tates that be saw one of the new Monitors go down Boston harbor recently on an experimental cruise. The fea was emooth, the weather pleasant, with a moderate Breeze from the northwest; yet the deck, in some places, was koeedeep with water He expressed the opinion that M she were to attempt to go to sea, in a moderate single Fee‘ed topeatl breeze, the weignt of water which must ia- ~@yitably fall ov ber deck would sink her, He said that to send her to sea at all was Injudicious in the extreme. As Americans we should beable to find in our midst ugh of native Drains to get up sometning which youie Se fervice io us, aid it seems unjust fo our inventive alent to seek forcign brains to plan and control the Sotereste of our ironclad navy. Far better plans for fron clads bave been presented, tho, and pushed away in Oontempt by the Navy Department, so that the Monitor rest might have full swing, mn here are on exhibition pow in thie city plans of an iron- @lad veseo!, by Captain Augustus Walker, an old aud ex- Perienced sexman, which, for strength, buoyancy and Speed, seems to be just the thing for naval purposes The Plans are sbip shape, acd tbe manner of ventilation ap- Peart as vear perfection as possible, A veesel built from these plans cau most assuredly go to sea and cope with Bn enemy. Shecan carry a beavy broadside battery, apo id truly be a formidable vessel. We think such Scra{t should be called ‘‘Eureka.’ There are various @tber plant by ether persons, far more desirable than the Moujtor class, aod they will not cost any more, and it fe time that ® trial were given to tome other Blass, Let us baye some “Eurekas’—something What is no more like & Monitor than a Moni we like @ slip, Scores of men stand ready © furnish plans “for invulnerable, buoyant and fast tron-clads—vesscls which can Itve in @ soa-way, oon Sogage w work with @ respectable number of gups- Gel that human beingé Gan live In, and hai will be a @redit to our country and our flag. Let any one ask of Mhose who have served in @ Monitor their opinion of Shem, aod fhe anawer will he a OS ferto- am ey wont they are a migeradie- _--o=, nealth-detirofing invention, built o mi Mcmy and build up the fallen reputation of an engli ‘who hae never brought to perfection any idea he has ever advanced. The light draught Monitors are such a Miserable fativre that no one oan be found who will @peniy father their conception. It was @ vain. Blorioue attempt to supersede the genuine original Monitors, but it fated. The idea of what fe called @ great feature in them—their watertight compartments, So be Glled with water to fink them low in the water in @ction—is the proporty of an individual who will tn due Gime produce bis patent papers, and obtain bis just and awful fee for the infringement. The Monitor folke are on Whois last legs, they are doing everything to swoll their Pile of greoubecks, so that when they ge by the board Qhey will have onough to live on. It ts mot tong ago that Pome of them endeavored to force a pump—their own in. ‘Vention—tolo the light draught vessels, It was, they said, @ better pump. Of course it was. It cost just $2,000 more Whan the Andrews pump. But what were twenty purops, 4 $2,000 & piece extra, to the government? That wai mere othing. But $40,000 among two is pretty good eum for pumping Uncle Sam's Treasury, These Monitor ange valoraana the laws of suction as nicely as avy oe you can find, It is ® pity we could not have the @ille Of {ccidewtats aod extras publiehed oMeially It Would open the eyes of the public, and close the Mouths of these people, But they have had thus far sufficient influence to keep themavives out of trouble; and woe to the poor fellow who attempts to rouble them.

NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 20, 1864, THE FLORIDA SALT WORKS. Thelr Gestraction U Two Years Ag6—Negiigence of the Navy Depart- t—What ht Have Beem Done if Attended To, &c., dic. ‘The following letior was addressed by Captain % W. Browne, late acting volunteer lieutecaat 1 ‘aq United States Navy, to the Hon. Jonn P. Hale, Chatraran of the Committee on Naval Affairs im the Uniged Steep Senate, ‘The suggestions and recomu»sadatians cow ained wrerein were of the highest impertance to the yovernment, and if they bad been carried out with promptitude and en- ergy by the Navy Department the rebels would bave been deprived of that material article, salt, without whieh they could mot, have existed, the presumption is clear to the dullest fotellect’that the rebellion could not have survived a year after the destruction of these import- ant works had taken place. imijar commupication bad previously been addressed by Captain Browne to Admiral Farragut, of the Mississippi squadron, but from fome cause unexplained that gallant officer did not receive it. About eight months subsequently Captain Browne had a personal interview with Admiral Farragut, and communicated to bim im brief the contents of his communication. That officer, with the energy for which be te proverbial, at once acted upon them, and forwarded to Admiral Bajley @ letter inform): im of the conversa- tion whieb he bad with Captain Browne, owing totbe re- ceipt-of whieh letter, it is supposed the destruction of the salt works at St. Andrew’s Bay was accomplished, the partioulars of which are fully describell at the time in a letter addressed to the Hon. Secretary of the Navy by Admiral Theodorus Batley n= .. Usrrep States Baie Bonto, Lies ore Bay, Jan. 6, 1863. ‘Sin—L take the 1! addressing you, unoificially, on a eubject that bas ™my mind contiouatly the Jest two months, and one which | think requires the direct and immediate attention of the goveroment. J consider it the duty of every man claiming to be a true supporter of the Union to speak openly of any infor tion that would tend to enhance our cavse and be inj rious to the enemy; therefore, I respectfully submit the following, which, I feel assured, you will consider of suf ficieut importance to be juterested in its favor and give it your earnest attention On the 14th of November last we left this port, in company with the United States steamer Albatross, on xpedition to St. Andrew's bay, for the destruction of It works. We remained there twenty 8; but owing to the want of energy on the part of the officer in chargo of the expedition, we did not accomplish | one- of the work we ought to havc done Nevertheless, we found numerous salt works, with thousands of men engaged thereat, mény of which we destroyed. We made but two descents, the result of the first one was beyond our most sanguine ex- ions, and was indeed a success, enclosed re- demolished three bondred and fifty cauldror ragiog uadred and ten gallons each; ove thousand bushels salt, some fifty wagons, killed several mules, cattle, &c. This is about the aggregate of the day’s work. ‘The second we accomplished but little, owing to reasons Iam loth to mention. Be'ore leaving the bay I had positive informa. tion that the Confederate government had large salt works at the head of Bear creek, some thirty miles up North bay, from St, Audrews, employing some fifteen hundred men, together with numerous private wor! Pploying some one thousand men more. There are numerous other works ip the brauches of this bay in full blast, and the whole coast is lined with them. In fact, in all the bays d inlets of the whole Southern coast, wherever there is wl og security from attack, these salt works can be foun , sir, i9 the ‘staff of life’ to the Copfederates. It is the greatest contributor to the support of this gigan- tic rebellion, It» is far more valuable than powder, clothes, or anythi pealy rebels could not carry on the war, and told some marvellous stories of its great value even to those in civil life, They stated that many men had joined the army toobtein money to buy salt for their families, to ‘be used in pickling , curing pork, &c. Salt is worth this day throughout the Southern confederacy from to $70 per bushel, and from $1 to $1 $0 per pound, and this with all their facilities to make it. These are facts, and deserve more thao a casual consideration, for it goes to prove the great scarcity of the article, and what the con- sequences would be if —— making establishments were destroyed. In my opinion, it would cause such dis- tress among them that speedy overtures would bave to be made, or their whole army would perish for the want of salt. By Oreaking up their salt works I believe in my in- ‘most eoul that we would touch a vital part of Rebehiom, and sbe would fall never, to rise again; for without salt e canoot exist. It is well known that salt can only be manufactured where the salt water flows. There are many salt marshes, truly, in rebeldom, but our forocs can penetrate, with few exceptions, every place where they are, and can effectually destroy all the worke with- in @ short space of time, and with little trouble, Our Davy bas oot sufficient attention to this ed supply of salt for our enemies, or it would never bave at- tained such gigantic proportions, 1 would be glad to see @ genera! onsiaught made on uli the salt works accessible to us in Rebeldom, and would advise strict secresy, be- cause if the least intimation of our intentions should get to the Confederates’ ears they would carry of their ket- tles and bury them, and we would fiud the nest warm, but the birds flown; and on our departure they would re- tara, replace their kettles and goon as usual. This is their gamo; but it can easily ve biocked. Kettles are equally as scarce, and worth in proportion to salt ta the confederacy, the price ranging from one dollar to two dollars per gall cording to size. Those in use are mostly sugar boilers. Steam boilers are also in use, bei severed in two pi Wooden boilers, lined inside av out with sheet tron, are made to answer the purpose also. ‘The boilers range in size from twenty-fiv five buodred gallo Fr I could learn they are sadiy in waut of kettles. Many of their works are de feuded by guertilas, whose force does not exceed one bun- dred men; but the most of thet are entirely without de- fence, save the operators themselves. To insiire snc. cess it would be necessary to scour thoroughly all the bays and creeks of the coast to the very head; for it lons to is at the extremes of these places that the salt business is most flourishing, the men feel- ing quite secure from attack, and with few exceptions this security is complete from any attempts on onr part to break them up. Commanders of expedi. tions should be extremely watchful and wary, moving with caution and che utmost celority when in the vicinity of the intended raids, aud on no acceunt to intimate by their movements, if itcan possibly be avoided, their in- “sntions, beenuge there are always some individuals on the lookout to warn the salt makers of approaching dau. 7" jut expeditions starting during the night, eo as to Beran thie f#eene of action by daylight, would be the vost augcess'al.

The Ninth was attached to the Irish Brigade. and numbered about four hundred men, They look wi after their severe duties in the field. jachusetts Funeral of Colonel Byrnes, of the Irish Brigade. ‘The funeral of this lamented officer, who was killed in action at Coal Harbor, Va, took piace from his late resi- dence, No. 839 Grove street, Jersvy City, yesterday after- noon. There was a large attendance of our most respec- table citizens, The funeral escort consisted of the Sixty-ninth regiment N. Y. 8. N. G., under command of Colonel James Bagley, The pall bearers were Colonel Nugent, of the Irish Beige ff; Colonel John 0. Mahoney, of the Phosnix regiment; :.%.eutenant Colonel Cartwright, of the Twenty-sighth Massachusetts; Captain Cartwright, of the Irish Brigade, and one or two others. At half-past one o'clock mournful procession started, and, crossing over the J City ferry, was joined by the Sixty-ninth regiment. route of march was up Cortlandt street to Broadway, up Broadway to Tenth street ferry, and across toCalvary Cemetery, where the remains of the gal- lant soldier were interred. He was a brave soldier and a good Christian. A aketch of his life and services was published in yesterday's Hkratp,and it is not necessary here again to allude to them. The Season in Saratoga. OUR SARATOGA CORRESPONDEN Saratoaa, June 16, 1864, The season here has beem rather backward, owing to the coldness of the weather. All the hotels have been open since the beginning of the month, but there bave not been many visitors. Now, however, they are dropping io im respectable number ind the increasing heat will bo doubt bring them in in swarms towards the end ofthe month. Great preparations ‘have been made fer the sen- gon. The crowds that flocked here last year encou- raged the leading houses to make large addi- tions to their accommodations; and a consider- able amount of the profits then realized have accordingly gone into bricks and mortar. The United ‘States bas added seventoca parlors and sixty-seven large bedrooms to its already evergrown proportions, and Con. gress Hall and the Clarendon have also made large addi. tions, There is no doubt that the anticipations which have induced them to bazard this outlay will be realized. Last season was the most profitable ever known here, mot even excepting the famous seasons of 1852-53. It ‘was of course made up of ali sorts of elements, shodd: predominating lar; +, Dut that did not prevent the ol egg who are atta to the waters, from coming as usual. Au impression prevails that the Saratoga hotels have raised their prices to five dollars a day. This isa mistake, By general agreement the price for the leading bo:els has. been fixed bree dollars and a half, and for the second class establishments at @ dollar Considering the enormous advance that has tal place in all kinds of provisions, the increase appears mederate. Among the visitors stopping here at presem I notice several invalid army officers Among others, Colonel Ber- la Igdo not believe there is any foundation for the re- port that Mr. Litcoin is expected. At least oo intimation to that effect bas been forwarded from the White House. Tne Park Yesterday. The Park presented its usuaMy lively appearance nearly all day yesterday, but especially in the afternoon. The visitors were more numerous than on former occasiors, and the R.mble was one cf the peculiar attractions of the day. Every one appareutly wanted to see the strange birds, the gay flowers and the rosary. Some chose that part of the Park to loitre in and rest themselyes, as it was far more sbadg than other portions of the grounds, ‘The iron bridge, with its vases of flowers and hanging Plants, was also a place of great resort, as visitors could there watch the swans and other aquatic birds on the lakes. The Casino, it is announced, will be open on Saturday one ‘and visitors can on that occasion, and afterwards, “7 “ “ te m.“dated with ice creams, &c., without leaving the Park. The busing will be under the control of the Commissioners, tberoforé ladies may be certain to meet with every comfort that can be possible in sogmalia building. During tho past week ‘vers! pea fowl have been hatched, and another fawn has .-° ™AdQ its ape pearance, Those who have contributed to the Park cc: jection will be gratified at learning that their donations ““nerease and. multiply and replenish” the zoological department to a very satisfactory extent.
