Her upper deck has been taken away, in.stead of which large beams of timber are tiirown across at an angle id’ forty-five degrees, somewhat like the raiter to a l,(,^,^(l—her lower portion will be entirely sub merged, and the beams will be sheeted with iron ; her prow will be one solid mass of s{uare logs^ or timber to Ije used as a batterin-j: ram, running into I the enemy with full head of steam, and, if possi- I i ble, sinking her outri”ht. The c(»pper taken irom j I this immense ship, I learn, is w.jrth one hundre.i | ! and fifty thonsiuid dollars. j i There i> in this yard nine hundred hands in the j I eniplov of the oovernmeiit.
