The expenditure of large sums of money on permanent earthwork :or stone fortifi cations, is not in accordance with the genius of our people or the spirit of the age. While these structures are most costly, they are not so strong nor aa available as other means of defense, which may.be adopted at a much less expense. The safety of Athens was in the boasted strength of her " wooden walls," and the history of every day teaches us that our reliance should be ia " iron walls.'' The- iron or steel 'clad gunboats are bo much superior to perma nent fortifications of any kind, as a means of defense, in a country like ours with so many approaches by water, that we are sur prised to hear that a Committee in- Con gress recommends the appropriation of mil lions upon millions on structures which; wheu completed, will serve no other pur pose thau as monuments of the folly of their founders. It is not surprising that Mr. Arnold of Illinois, should favor tbe proposed recommendation, because hia State, and especially bi part of the State is to receive the benefit of the expenditure of a large portion of the money. The enlargement of the canal, suggested by the committee, is very proper and should be doue at once, but the fortifications at Mackinac, Buffalo and Oswego should remain untouched. A few such gunboats as the Benton, Cincinnati and St. Louis, will defend our lake border much better and with less danger to those in them, than will anything made out of dirt or stone. A fortification, however strong its construe, tion, always looks to but one or two points of attack, and hence is generally captured by flank movements, cutting off the communication of tin garrison and interfering with their suppli a. Movements of this kind are hardly possible with gunboats. Weseldom hear of one being " outflanked." For positive resistance to heavy shots, we think the flotilla of Commodore Foote will demonstrate that iron ia superior to wood, earth, or stone. If eleven guns on tbe Cincinnati, Carondelet and St. Louis, could silence a similar number, of equal calibre, in so strong a fortification aa Fort Henry,: it fctrikes us that the expenditure of large sums of money on like fortifications when they may be approached by similar boats, is not profiting by experience a school in which even fools are said to learn. We hope no Indiana Representative will vote away tbe people's money in these times of scarcity for works like those designed by Mr. Arnold's report, until, at least, they see what success our gunboats have at Columbus. If that rebel stronghold ia battered down, as we confidently believe it will, we hope the superiority of iron batteries will be so completely established as to prevent K the expenditure of much money on any other class of fortifications. Incident of the L.me FiglitCou. Foote tit the Pnlplt. We copy from the correspoodem-e of the Missouri Democrat, the following incidents of the fight. The latter was written from Cairo: x - ' : 7 ; Numerous instances came to hand illustrating the spirit in which the fight was niadu The Commodore s slate of mind, as related by himself, ia interesting, tie says that on the night before; the battle he "slept as sweetly anil proved as fervently as ever before in bis life." ,. In the interview with Geo. Tilghman, Com. Foote asked him how it was possible be could light against the old flag? To which the rebel replied: " It waa hard, sir, hard sir : but I must go with my people." While the rebel prisoners were on board the Uncle Sam, Geu. Tilghman was approached by a newspaper correspondent with a request to know bow to spell his name. The reply, accompanied by supreme hauteur of manner, was: ' "Sir, I do not desire that my name tboiilj be made ue of at all in connection with this affair, except a3 U may appear in the reports of Gen. Grant." I only desire, sir," says tbe correspondent, " to have it spelled correctly in the Hat of prisoners which I am making out." - " You will oblige me," returned tbe General, "by not making any mention at all in your correspondence.". The correspondent withdrew in a high state of amazement. The reader may possibly smile at the "airs" which these aris-

iocratic rebels at all times and under all

circumstances will so tenaciously ciing to anrl nnt nn When tbe prisoners rencaeu rauucuu uu Friday, they were distributed, through the !a nf tha nffirru Yminct nllnwe.l their ' . 1. - 1 . .3 V !ihrtr on parole. As a party of them

cession ladies. . General-Tilghman, as a - former resident of Paducab. was very i warmly welcomed by hia old friends. Your a readers may remember, that in the early oays oi me war, wnue "" thA rAmtarlr that "with LffO CUDS ftaa IlLtV I - i . I men he would come down ana laKa uea. Prentiss and Cairo." ; fc, ,.; - - covmodorb foots ik- thb pulpit. . ' To-day CoBimodore Foote attended the I Presbyterian Church.- A large congregfition was in attendance, but tbe preacher did sot make bis appearance. A general impatience beginning to manifest itself, tbe Commodore sought th elder of the church, and urged him to perform the services. The elder refusing, the Commodore, on the imnnlsa nf the moment, took the tiulDit read a chapter in the Bible, prayed and delivered a short diacnnrse from the text "Let not Tout hearts .b troubled. Ye believe in God 1 believe also in me." . The conffreeation was I delighted. On coming down from the pnl-J pit, the minister, who had arrived just alter I the vraver. approached and tendered his thanks, but the Commodore rebuked him for his tardiness of duty, and reproached him for his neglect to take -the pulpit im mediately ob hia arrival.' - This incident is illustrative of tbe Commodore's energetic, earnest character and sincere piety. Test ow thb Moktab Boats Thk Ex. pkbimest a Perfect Success. The regular; army officers who know everything worth, j knowing, have bad a great deal to say about J the incapacity of the mortar boats, constructed at St. Louis by order of Gen. Tremom. a taie.insi ui mo wuum uallu I demonstrates that they are terrible engines of war, calculated to drive the rebels from Columbus in a very short time yxt - I r the following account of tbe trial from the Missouri Democrat Everything having been got in xeadiness, Captain Constable tired a small charge of four pounds ot powder tor the purpose ot scaling the mortar. Tha nrst experi ment with a shell , then followed, with a charge ot eleven, pounds of pow4er. When all was ready the boat was cleared of tbe company, most of us retinug to the shore, Capt. Constable alone remaining to dis charge the gun. Ready! hrelAdeaten ing concussion, and in an instant the huge shell was seen mounting in tbe air with a magnificent curve, and - its terrible roar gradually diminishing as its distance from us rapidly increased. It may have risen to the height of half a mil. nd waa almost lost to view lefre it Iwan to make its de vending enrvr.. On its Uj -..,.(e, i!ce our eyes were eagerly directed to ll.e rivei'a level to mark its tall. The stisptie was relieved by the sudden shooliug up from the water's line of a white column of spray tar down the Mississippi, and, as it was estimated, two miles and a half away from us. Tbe mortar boat was scarcely moved by the explosion, and the monster carriage recoiled but two or three inches. This was very - encouraging. The second experiment was made with twenty pounds of powder, Capt. Constable again discharging the gvm.' Tie concussion was terrific. Some distance in the rear of the boat, where I was standing, it was not painful, but those who remained alongside and in tbe boat were considerably 1 shocked. She shell rose beautifully, mount. ing much higher in the air, aud at the ex piration of 291 seconds, struck the water at an estimated distance of three miles. This concussion showed itself very palpably up on tbe boat. The hatchway coverings in the front part were lifted off, and in some cases broken and split, while the boat itself recoiled some two or three feet, and pene trated tbe soft bank of the river. Experiment number three was made with the full barge or ftwwfy-fr. Pnas of I A lima rf I hu flinhl tf vna h I powder. The time of tha ftigh was thirty-one seconds, and the distance three and a fuitf miles. The recoil of the gun carriage was about two feet, and the effect of the concussion upon the loose wooden work of the boat was the same as in the previous shot. The mortar boats are about sixty feet long, and twenty-five feet wide, surrounded on all sides by -iron-plate bulwarks, six or seven feet high. - Tbe -mortar itself weighs 17,210 pounds: has a bore easily admitting a 13-inch shell, and from the edge of the bore to tbe outer rim is 17 inches. The mortar bed weighs 4,500 pounds, and from the experiment of to-day, is pronounced by Captain Constable to be the most admira ble mortar carriage yet invented-- The shell filled with wet sand weighed, 230 pounds, an enormous missile to be burled through. the air a distance farther than from the levee to Grand Avenue, in your city. Filled with powder, these shell will weigh 215 pounds, and can be thrown at least a half a mile farther than were those filled with the sand. Say, twenty of these mortar boats drop dewn to within easv reach of Columbus, and at tbe same time be out of the reach of the best rifled cannon the rebels mav brio? to bear so small, indeed, at- a distance of three and a half or four miles as scarcely to be diacernable on tbe surface of tbe water. wc ,im9 uoata will fire, at a very low estimate, four shells an hour. Then twenty of them would dis charge eighty shells an hour, with perfect impunity, and at this rate for one night of ten hours eight hundred of these terrtjic nusxiljm man t hrmi-n iittn 1 A Minn iuntl j- ..j. f j .:" demomiom would be a Paradise to tbe p'.ace it could make of Columbus, Tbe trial of to-day demonstrated that tbe recoil of the boat was altogether lateral, and not perpendicular as it was feared it would le. -- It also shows that the iron bulwarks reader the concussion more severe than it would lie without them, and that if they are permitted to remain, some plan will have to be devised by which the gunners at each discharge may get outaide of them. Illustrating the effects of the concussion is the circumstance tnat. the cap of the gunner who discharged the 15-pound charge was carried away from bis head, aud he almost taken off his feet. t&" Damage to the amount of $C,00T waa sustained by tbe Wabash and Erie Canal by the late freshet, in the vicinity of Khawnee, Fountain county. The damage is to be immediate! y repaired. Indianapolis Journal. Brigbt's Successor. A Washington correspondent says: Governor Morton of Indiana is here, and it is said will appoint Richard Morrison or Schuyler Colfax Senator at once. He predicts that Bright will never trouble tha Senate again i that the Indiana volunteers will care for him in future, whether they find him at Richmond or Indianapolis.

Holding correspondence with the ene my before and since, the battle . of Ball's Bluff, and receiving visits from rebel omcers in bi9 camp. ' 3d. For treacherously suffering the ene my to build a fort since the battle of Ball's Bluff, under his guns, unmolested 4tb. Of a design to expose his force to capture by the enemy, under pretense of ruD1 lut """""""'"fc General We trust that at least some of these chareresjnav prove unfounded. Should it be true that tbe noble and lamented isaker, with the flower of the noblest families of Massachusetts, Philadelphia and New York were victims of Stone's treachery, the agony of the friends of the departed heroes will be unendurable. Besides, it cannot be forgotten that Major General McClellan endorsed the cordact of Gen. Stone at Ball's Bluff, and while no one has the remotest idea of MeClelhtn's cognizance of Stone's designs, it cannot be very creditable to bis generalship to endorse an act that was so much of a military blunder as to have its foundatioa in positive treachery. We have mourned the slain at Ball's Bluff, our only consolation being that thev fell fighting for the fao of their flag, and that their fate I ' was duc one or ine cnances oi - nonoraoie battle." This consolation is deprived ua, when we know -they were the victims of a miserable traitor. Ettf The Cincinnati Gazette's Washing ton correspondent says the efforts to dis credit the well authenticated fact that Mc Clellan is to be reduced to the command of the army of the Potomac are futile. " Ion," who- ba3 long been considered the most re liable correspondent in Washington, con firms tbe correctness of the statement. - "EST Msjor-General Ethan Allen Hitch cock, whose commission was confirmed by I the C S.

Tbe dispatch was re-copied at Cincinnati, and telegraphed here on Tuesday "night; Onr readers had learned the facts in the case several days ago, and w e did not publish tbe dispatch. fi A desperate affray occurred in Richmond, Ky., last week, ia which Captain Nelson Burrows, of Colonel Wolford's Cavalry, was severely it not fatally stabbed. Thomas Dejaruett and John Kaualzer were mortally shot. William Grnbbs, of Fort Lafayette notoriety, was shot in the hip, and a Mr. Freeze, of Jessamine county, was shot in the shoulder. Some of the parties were dead when the informant left Richmond. Thomas Dejarnett was the originator of the difficulty, and inflicted the wounds upon Capt. Burrows; ami Mr. Irvine Roberts, of Captain Burrows' company, shot Dfjircetl, Kaualztr and Grobbs without being hituseif injured., Dejarnett, Kanatzer and Grubbs were secessionists. Look Out.
