to pass by Sumter, in the channel between it and Cummings's Point, but was there confronted by the rows of piles. It was well that he was stopped, for had he gone into the open way through one of the rows, the Weehawken would doubtless have been blown to atoms by the monster torpedo just mentioned. Meanwhile Dupont was bringing the monitors into position for a simultaneous attack on Fort Sumter, when his ponderous flag-ship, the New Ironsides, This vessel was built at Philadelphia by Merrick & Sons, at a cost of $780,000. She was of 8,486 tons burden. She was launched in May, 1862. Her armament was of 200-pounder rifled Parrott guns, capable of throwing solid shot six miles, and her complement of men was 500. She did good service during the war, and was accidentally burnt near Philadelphia, in December, 1866. struck by the tide, became almost unmanageable, and confused the line.

Among the casualties on our side are Lieutenant-Colonel Walton, Twenty-third Virginia, killed; General J. M. Jones, slightly wounded in head; Lieutenant-Colonel Coleston, Second Virginia, leg amputated; Major Terry, Fourth Virginia, slightly wounded; Lieutenant-Colonel Brown, First North-Carolina, slightly wounded; Colonel Nelligan, First Louisiana, severely wounded in the shoulder; Captain Merrick, General Halford's staff, severely in the face. The color-bearer of the First Louisiana was killed. I could not learn his name, but he is the same who was captured at Gettysburgh, and put his colors under his shirt and thus saved them, and afterward escaped. The country where the fighting occurred is densely wooded, and similar in every respect to the country about Chancellorsville, it being, indeed, but a continuation of that description of country.

he year 1841. This included specifications and drawings for a revolving iron battery, and practically was the foreshadowing of the Monitor. In fact, when the backers of Ericsson came to look into the matter, it was considered advisable to purchase Timby's patents. There were also built at this time two heavily and almost completely armored ships, both more or less experimental, one, the Galena, destined to be a failure, while the other, named the New Ironsides and built by contract with Merrick and Sons, of Philadelphia, became, with the addition of the turret principle, the war-ship of future years. She was 232 feet long, 58 feet in beam, and 4120 tons displacement, a large size for that day. Her battery consisted of sixteen 11-inch Dahlgren guns, two 200-pounder Parrott rifles, and four 24-pound howitzers. She was the most formidable ship afloat. Although containing powerful engines, traditions of the older navy still prevailed, and the New Ironsides was at first fully rigged

Explosion of an oil well — loss of Life and frightful Scenes. It has already been briefly mentioned that an oil well in Warren county, Pa., took fire a few days ago and exploded with frightful effect, causing the loss of eighteen lives. A letter gives the following additional particulars: A well which had been drilled over two hundred feet by Hawley & Merrick, had struck oil, but the yield being less than expected, the pumping was abandoned and drilling re-commenced. Over one hundred feet further were drilled, when at half-past 5 on Wednesday evening a sudden rush of oil through the five inch and a half tubing threw out the drills and gushed up into the air forty feet above the surface of the ground. At the least computation it was throwing from seventy to one hundred barrels an hour. Above this mass of oil, the gas of benzine rose in a cloud, for fifty or sixty feet. As soon as the oil commenced gushing forth, all the fires of engines in the neighborhood were immediat
