From (Jen, FicketFsFoitimafiid
' Department North Carolina, ) |
March 31, 1684, j’
To the Editor of the Whig:
An unusual quiet reigns in this Department".
The enemy, on Monday last, bombarded Fort
Powhatau, and attempted to land, but were
driven off, and tunny killed by a portion of
Major Milligan’s In. .Signal Corps.
1 learn by a gentleman from hor that the
enemy ! s gunboats were shelling Fort lloykin
on Wednesday. No damage done. Like the |
Chinese, the Yankees are “a great people " tor
noise.
After the most dilligent search, the where
abouts of General Always Everywhere Bum
side still remain a mystery. Come, when he
may, his name inspires no terror in the breasts
of one gallant Hoops, General. Pickett is on
the qui vive, and will welcome the invader
whenever he thinks proper to come, -‘with
bloody hands to hospitalile graves. ’" The Gen
eral's hospitality in this respect never
been doubted.
The troops in this Department, have, as far
as I can learn, re-enlisicd fhr the war, espe
cially Pickett’s Division. They seem cheerful,
in line spirits and uwttii peace with patience
though it were many years hence. They are
well clothed, well ted ami are in good iightiug
trim, and as King Richard says, are‘'gager for
the fray.’’ They have.roiliidence in aiid" love
their ehioflain, whose plume, like that of
Harry of Navarre, is ever seen where danger
comes thickest.
The soldiers are funding their old issue with
the North Carolina farmers, for many ncees
caries not found in the commissariat and at
very reasonable prices—-they are not disturbed
by the dreams which haunt the pillows of
speculators. 1 ha' e laillod to see '‘so much
disatlcction among the people .of North Caro- !
1 inn. The great mass arc true to. the Confed
eracy, kind to flic Hoops, and only await the
election in August to slrow to the world that

C'onfpderate T»rpedees and
Iron ('lad«
The W ashiugton correspondent of the
St. Louis “Republican” furnishes an in
tcresting communication concerning the
OoFederate torpedoes and iron clads at
Charleston, which we have not wet with
in any of our Southern exchanges. It
has been kindly furnished the ‘‘Express”
by a friend.
rebel torpedoes.
Private letters received here from off
Charleston give some interesting partic
ulars of the sinking of the Housafonie by
a rebel torpedo, which do not appear in
the official account. It is not known on
our side that the machine carried any
crew: on the contrary, it is supposed the
torpedo was of anew kind lately invented
by the rebels, which are rendered self
moving by clock work, and was brought,
down the harbor, directed against the fa
tal vessel,and started by the internal ma
chinery, the eoncastion being relied upon
to explode it. When first seen, about,
one hundred yards from the Housatonie
it looked like a broad plank upon the
water, and there was no signs of its pro
pnldiou by steam or man power. It
struck two minutes after first seenjaud ex
ploded in about one minute, direct ly under
the stern. The power of the explosion
was terrific, tearing out the stern com
pletely, breaking through the gun and
spar decks, and shattering the huge beams
above them. The Housafonie sunk im
mediately, the officers and crew being
pushed to save themselves, by ascending
the rigging a's she went down.
Iftli is torpedo was a self moving one
it is the first instance where such ma
chines have accomplished practical re
sults, though much time labor and ex
pense have been of late years devoted to
attaining success in this branch of war
fare by nearly all civilized nations.
I’inlet* these circumstances the event must
be accepted as evidence of energy perve
rence and inventive genious of the rebels,
though the applications of these attributes
iu such a manner is justly open to the
charge of barbarism.
THE REBEL IRON OLADS.
Speaking of rebel torpedoes brings to J
mind other features of the situation before j
Charleston worthy of notice. Lately we j
have heard considerable about the rebel j
iron clads in that quarter, both from rebel
ands ederal sources. There is no doubt
that the officers of our iron clad fleet ex
pect .to be compelled to accept a challenge

the Ashley and Cooper rivers out into
therharbor, and there bellow forth the bold
defiance from tfeeii armament of the cele
brated Brooke gun- and further, there are
indications that, they do not anticipate the
result of such a contest as certainly to be
favorable to our side.
The rebels are known to be building
two or three more iron clads in the above
rivers; therein good reason to believe that
the Chieora, Ladies’ Gunboat, and other
uodesonpt craft, finished long since, art
now being clad with additional iron plates.
W hen this fleet is finished, it is not likely
to remain behind Sumter; and should if
r-.jun- out, the momentous qination is, can
our iron clads hold their uwn against it?
Some of our editors think not They say
the old .Men iimie, in her first contest with
the little Monitor, was provided with noth j
ing but shells; that with these she could j
not injure her antagonist, while the latter j
succeeded in hitting her below her iron
plating when grounded and careened, but
all eftbrte to penetrate her mail were un
successful Subsequently, the Norfolk
monster being repaired, came out provi
ded with solid shot, and -teamed around
in sight of the Monitor tor several days
without getting alight out of her. Had
the Monitor accepted a fight the result is j
to be interred from th< manner in which !
