, including a number of army and navy officers. They have been thought clumsy, insufficient in their bulwarks, incapable of bearing the heavy mortars designed for them, and beyond all question incapable of resisting the terrible concussion which would attend the firing of a thirteen-inch shell. All these opinions and prognostications have been overthrown to-day, by the experiment made under the superintendence of Captain Constable, and before a committee of three, composed of himself, Capt. Kilty, of the gunboat Mound City, and Capt. Dove, of the gunboat Louisville. One of the mortar-boats, No. Thirty-five, was taken in tow this morning, by three steam-tugs, and conveyed to a point a few hundred yards below Fort Holt, on the Kentucky shore. The huge mortar had previously been placed on board, and fixed upon one of Rodman's mortar-carriages or beds. Ten or twelve of the thirteen-inch shells were prepared, filled, however, with wet sand, instead of powder, the object of the ex

f twenty minutes the little tin-clad, with her thin armor riddled with shot, surrendered. After stripping her of the nine guns and her supplies, the Confederates scuttled and burned her. Such were the chances that the tin-clads constantly took. The warship Nymph from the Mosquito fleet. The warship Queen City from the Mosquito fleet. Confederate sharpshooters after leaping overboard. Of the one hundred and seventy-five officers and men, only twenty-five escaped uninjured. Commander Kilty, as the result of his injuries, had to suffer the amputation of his left hand. The 25th of June saw Farragut's fleet below Vicksburg again, and three days later he had demonstrated the fact that he could pass by the batteries. On July 1st, Flag-Officer Davis' forces had joined those from the mouth of the Mississippi, above the city. As the combined fleets lay anchored along the banks, three or four miles south of where the Yazoo River debouches into the Mississippi, news was brough

r the fort guns, and the pieces could be seen splashing the water in every direction. Amidst it all I could see the rebels running to and fro on the parapet, loading their guns, carrying off killed or wounded and in all behaving with the most spirited bravery. Two or three of their guns were dismounted, and some heavy breaches made in their works, but they struggled manfully to repair the damages, perfectly different as it seemed, of the fearful perits which surrounded them. "Good for Kilty!" aborts Captain Walke, of the Carondolet, as one of the riffed shots of the Mound City struck just in the fort and cast up an immense cloud of reddish-looking dirt. "Crash," goes a 10 inch shell from the stern of the Carondolet just over which I am standing; the ship trembles in every timber at the recall, the spectator in volunteering judging the shock, the sulphurous smoke flying back in his face, and for the moment blinding his sight, and the huge missile roaring in the air like the
