The Atlanta, former ly called tin Flugal. wih a very foimtdablo craft more, formidable! than the Morriinar. after which she was modelled. The rebels have been laboring to perfect her for the Inst two years, and in doing so, it is esti muled, expended over a million of dollars. Tin hull and machinery were FngdMi, of the staunch maku '"or which that people are remarkable. She was roofed in like the Merriniac. and covered with -1.1-lneh iron platen. She carried, we also learn from the descriptions that have recently been pub lish al. four Rrook guns, two six-inch and Iwo seven-inch, and a how gun weighing over Ifl thousand pound. Shu has a cut water In the shape or an imnieno slcelsaw, with monster teeth; outside of that an iron frame willi a lnrpdo attached, for damag ing vessels; and above an bon booui-liku piece, for peiietintiug anything on which she might vim. She was in all respects a much move for midabli! vesM'l than thu Merriniac ever wa. The rebels expected the most cxtr.iordlury achievements IVoiu her. It Is staled that when she sailed down the Savannah river for Hie purpose of engaging nnd capturing the Wechawken. she was followed by two wooden gunboats lilted with ladies and other excur.-ionists, who were to witness the light, it having been arranged that one of the gunboats should tow the Wechawken up to Savannah; then the Atlanta was to go to Oxsnbaw, capture a gunboat, lake some batteries, entrap tlio Forly-seveulli Js'ow York, and leave a force there to hold Hie batteries. Next she was going to Charleston, and co-operating by signal with somu rebel boats, annihilate the blockade, after which she wns to pay her rct-peels to the Port Royal squadron. Now, afler ail this preparation, mark llio result? We give it in the terse languimo or Admiral Dupont, In his report to the Secretary of llie Navy : 'The Weoliawk'.'ti. Capt. Jolin Rogers, at oncu engaged her. tiring in all live shot', three A subsequent examination establish ed that llio Almoin had been si ruck four times. -Kiia Ai.ta.J of wliloli took effect, penetrating her armor, nud killing or wounding llie crews of Iwo guns. Two or three of tho pilots were iiIk badly wounded, ami (lie pilot house broken up, whereupon the vessel grounded, nud Immediately sur rendered." The engagement lasted precisely llRccn minute. Two of the balls fired by the Weeiiawken were tOU-pnuiidcr. Thu re s'.ills are slated as follows : On examination it was found the enemy had been struck four times; first, on the in clined side by a lo-luch cone shot, which, although llrei'l at an angle of .10 degrees with her keel, broke In the armor and wood back ing, strewing the deck witli splinters, pros trating about forty men by the concussion, ami wounding several by broken pieces of armor and splinters. One man has since died. The second shot (1 1-inch solid) struck the edge of llie ovei hanging knuckle, doing no damage except bteaking a platu or two. The third shot (J.Viuch coned) struck the ton of the pilot house knocking it oil', wounding Iwo pilot and stunning thu men at the wheel. The fourth shut (supposed to be nn 1 1-Inch) t-truulc a port stopper in the center, breaking it in two, ami shattering it very much, driving, many fragments in through tho port." In a scientific point of view, thts engage ment is of tho highest importance, Ju llio light between tho original Monitor nud .Mer riiunc. tho former was not furnished with guns of the calibre which Mr. Kricssou had demanded. The conscqiiciicu wns the Mer rimiiu was not very seriously injured, and returned to her berth at Portsmouth. Thu monitors are now well supplied witli the iiiiiiH'ti"o guns 100-poitnders for which they wero designed, and tho result in the engugcinen; above referred to, was the cap. turo of a craft more formidable than the Merriniac, in thu short spaeo of n quarter of an hour. Captain Hrictson has abandon ed the old principle of a largo number of small gnus nud broadsides, flu built the monitors to carry two, four uud six guns only, nueordiug to thu number of the tur rets. Of the wisdom of this arrangement, we htvvo the most convincing proofs in the cno of the light with thu Atlanta.
