The Fort Henry, an iron-clad gunboat, built at Carondelet, was launched there on Thursday, the 24th inst. The Choctaw, a vessel purchased some time since by the Navy Department, and subsequently converted into a ram, was launched on the previous Saturday. The Fort Henry, a sort of sister ship to the Essox, is 250 feet long, 40 feet wide, and 11 feet deep. The Choctaw is 225 feet long, 34 feet wide, and about 10 feet deep. The Fort Henry will carry eight guns, and the Choctaw six. The latter is a mere ram, the former being more of a gunboat.
