HEALTH OF SATAKKAH.
The city continues in the enjoyment of un
interrupted health. There are no indications
ot an epidemic. Wc bare beard of but one
case of insulated or sporadic yellow fever, a
form of this disease that appears in the most
healthy seasons. -The unusual prevalence of
heat and moisture, whatever auguries they
may afford unfavorable to general health are
in no way connected, as cause and effect,
with yellow fever. Long observation has
satisfied us that this destructive epidemic has
had for its antecedents both dry seasons and
wet seasons, and different degrees of solar
heat, within certain limits.
Wc do not intend to inflict on our readers
a discussion on that hacknicd theme—the
origin of yellow fever, but there are two
classes of preventive measures which are
founded on the two opposite tl e wies of im
portation and domestic or local origin, which
is necessary to an intelligent understanding
of the Hygiene of our Southern cities, i. e.
sanitary regulations and quarantine.
First, as to the former, Savannah has pe
culiar facilities for the preservation of Health.
Having Alleyways running parallel with her
etreu’s she has outlets for the filth that accu
mulates in her yards, while she has numer
ous water ways, affording an ample supply
of water. It requires therefore only ordinary
care to secure cleanliness.
Savannah, although within what is called
the yellow fever zone Is less subject, than any
southern city to periodic attacks of that dis
ease. New Orleans is visited by it nearly
every year. So is Charleston, whereas Sa
vauuah has had long intervals of its absence.
There have been only two destructive yellow
fever epidemics in forty-five years, one in
1820 and another in 1354.
Under all these circumstances we do not
think that apprehension need be entertained
on the subject by the unacclimated.

ries. I had no force to stop the plundering
which was going on ali night. I made cour
iers and policemen of my staff, trying to pre
vent disorder and violence. Several fires
were kindled before we left, and an attempt
to barn Mayo’s bridge frustrated by the dar
ing of the engineer officers, who, at great
risk, removed burning canal boats from uuder
it. What I did was m obedience to positive
orders that had been given me. Looking,
with Gen. Kershaw, toward Richmond, we
saw building after building, at a distance from
the river, ignite, evidently set on tire. I feel
this matter very deeply. I see myself un
justly blamed. I did not exceed, but fell
short of my instructions.
Yours, R. S. Ewell.

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
New York, July 21, 1865.
One Regiment an Hour.
Is about the average|number which daily has
passed the headquarters of you? correspon
dent. The sight Is cheering and pleasant
and convinces those of us who are located
on Broadway, that the war is really over.
Albeit the scene is about the only thing that
reminds us of the fact—for goods of all kinds
at present seem to be kept at the same prices,
the grasping speculators run them up to
when Sherman was hundreds of miles from
Savannah, and Grs-ol bad not finally “moved
upon the enemy’s works. ” The tattered flags
go by; now and then a grateful breeze shak
ing out their rags to an appreciating public,
and the boys feel more pleased to hear New
York’s welcoming “Hi— hi, ’’than the sharp
war cry they have been in the habit of listen
ing to in a more Southern location. All sorts
if regiments march by here—some with only
a hundred oi so of men With a couple of
drums and fifes, under command of a cap
tain, others varying Irom two hundred to six
hundred, with lull line and field officers—but
they all look happy notwitstanding our
Broadway sun seems to be partially violent
and the sweat pours off them in floods. No
wonder the darkey asked “if there were any
more Yankees in, dis world,” for
The Saugerfest
is over, and the Teutonic portion of our
community are beginning to think of again
attending to their regular business next
week. They will prolong the “fest” on
their own hook during to-day and to-mor
row, tapering off with lighter draughts of
their Gambrinu s liquid than those they have
quaffed in honor of their guests for the last
six days. There has been lager enough
drank the past week to have Hooded Broad
way irom 14th street to Bo w ling Green—
some twenty thousand kegs having been
emptied. How they managed to sing so
splendidly with so much liquid inside of
them is a mystery to some physiologists.
An Overhauling
of affairs in the Brooklyn Navy Yard < among
the mechanics has brought to light how some
of tlie “bosses” obtain such magnificent fur
niture for their residences. A couple of
cabinet-makers testify to .having worked a
year on elegantly carved black walnut secre
taries, buffets, tool-chests, etc., all the while
drawing pay from Uncle Sam, whose tools
and wood were used. The whole arrange
ment .has been “busted up."
Dan Sickles
will probably be the commander of this city
and uarbor under Gen. Hooker, and his ap
pointment will be one of the most satisfac
tory ever made here. The announcement
will probab% be made in a few days, when
“Dan" can enjoy the comforts of his elegant
home on the Bloomingdale road.
A Removal
for friendliness to the United States took
place this week at Montreal, which is wor
thy of note. It appears that Mr. O. S.
Wood, the Superintendent ot the Montreal
Telegraph line, wrote a letter to one of the
Montreal delegates to the Detroit Conven
tion, advocating certain measures, the dele
gate taklug occasion to read it to the Con
vention. The letter gave great offence to
certain members from Canada, who insisted
on knowing the name of the author, which
was finally imparted to them. Among the
delegates were quite a number ot ossifica
tions whose ire was terribly aroused against
Mr. Wood for favoring the projected annexa
tion of Canada to the United States, and who
are prominent stockholders and directors of
the Montreal Telegraph line. These fellows
on their return to Montreal, immediately
caused Mr. Wood’s removal from the Super
intendeucy, and thus they “have their re
venge” on a gentleman whose position they
will find it difficult to fill. The facts have
created quite a little breeze among the New
Y ork stockholders.
Strikes
are non-paying affairs lately, and this fact
has been fully illustrated the past fortnight
by the result of that of the street cleaners.—
They imagined they could do what they
pleased—smashed the heads of a few of the
men, broke down some of the new wagons
of tbe contractors, cut the throats of a half
dozen horses, and then held a couple of mass
meetings, famous for threats, froth, whiskey
and impotent rage. It is needless to say
that the new street contractors have applica
tions tor work from double the number of
men they need, and thus the bullying fel
lows, who thought the world would stop re
volving when they dropped their 9hovelsand
brooms, find that they are not half so impor
tant to the existence of this metropolis as
they thought.
FeuilUtonlsts
of the bifalutin order are in demand in this
city on our leading journals. George Alfred,
the King of Scribendular Imaginatives, in his
accounts and word-painted descriptions of
the assassination trial, and of nigger ball
room scenes at the Five Points, printed in
the World, has set the other “heavies’’ agog,
aud they ail took occasion at the “ Barnum
fire," when George Alfred was out of town,
to draw on their imaginations to an unlimited
extent, the results being a series of the most
agonisingly distended, atrociously grotesque,
and Munchausenly graphic descriptions of
hair-breadth escapes, tiger fights, anaconda
encounters, and lion raid 9 that ever were set
to type. The la9t effort was that emanating
from tbe fertile brain and versatile pen of a
new hand at the bellows in the Tribune office,
devoted to the pleasurable sensations he ex
perienced while viewing tne adiposeancles of
a thousand Dutch girls at the Saugerfe&t.
Hotel Extension
has become one of the roost noted institu
tions of this city, and so impudent and brazen
is it, that it is simply disgusting. Hotels
there are without number, and so tar as
known, there aro no exceptions. What a
line opportunity is there here for a conscien
tous man, wbQ kpows how to keep a Hotel—
if such a biped csn be fpqqd ipqur land. Let
such open ft good bouse, and keep it qp as it
should be maintained; with moderate and
reasonable prices, and no gold mine would
yield as well. But he must not charge tor
meals not eaten, nor compel paymeut for
bath rooms not used. A few days sjqce g
guest had paid an enormous bill tor himself
and wife, but concluded to stay to dinner as
tlie cars did not leave as early as they sup
posed. Upon paying lor these two meals he
tound himself charged eight dollars! London
has for years been imposed upon in like man
ner, Until the first people of the city have
formed an association and erected a hotel
which throws all others into the shade,
charging such low rates that the swindling
of the other establishments is shown to be of
the most disgraceful character.
Tlifc Dunderberg.
The great ocean iron-clad frigate ram Dun
derberg, built by W. H. Webb, Esq., at New
York, was to have been launched on the 22d
inst. The New York World devotes a whole
side of the paper to a description of the Dun
derberg, interspersed with explanatory cuts.
We condense the following :
The reputation of her builder, which is
without a parallel either here or in Europe,
leads us to write with much confidence as to
the performance of this vessel. The records
of the past justify us in the assertion that
what he promises he performs. We have
only to point to the General Admiral, built
for the Russian navy ; the Harriet Lane, for
our revenue marine, and the two iron-cased
frigates constructed for the Italians, to sub
stantiate our prophetic writings. Each of
these great ships are the admiration of all
connoisseurs, and are not only very valuable
-vessels, but a credit to us as Americans. Re
cent events have emphatically sustained the
soundness of the principles long since laid
down by naval officers, both in tn's country
aud Europe, that speed and weight of arma
ment are equally as essential as invulnera
bility, which the English experiments at
Shoeburyness, and our own experience in
the attack upon Fort Sumter, have fully
proved is practically unattainable against 15-
inch guns and Armstrong 600-pounders. To
meet both these requirements has been Mr.
Webb's object in laying our. the plans for the
Dunderberg, and her displacement of over
seven thousand tons will leave her one of the
most buoyant vessels of the navy.
The Dunderberg has been built under the
general superintendence of Rear-Admiral F.
H. Gregory, U. S. N.
GENERAL PLAN OP TUB VESSEL.
While due care has been taken by Mr Webb
to render the Dunderberg sate in a heavy
sea-way, she being- intended for a sea-going
vessel, and resistless in attack, he has by no
means lost sight of the prime necessity of
offering the utmost resistance to the missiles
of an enemy. For this end the advantages of
an angular surface to receive the enemy’s fi.e
has been combined with a great mass of tim
ber and the protective power of 4 1-2 inch
sold armor plating. In general appearances
she will resemble, when afloat, a huge fort
embrasured lor a score of the heaviest ord
nance yet placed upon the deck of any
vessel.
THE HULL.
The hull of the Dunderberg contains sev
eral thousand feet of solid timber of the finest
quality and choicest selectfcm. The bottom
is flat, the Sides angular, extremely sharp,
and surmounted by a casemate in wuich are
to be placed sixteen guus, althougu it is
pierced for twenty-one. The hull is built iu
layers of square logs, securely bolted togeth
er, leaving no opeuiugs between them, and
is caulked inside as well as outside. This
massive structure is strongly trussed with
diagonal braces of iron fastened inside of the
solid frame, securely strengthening her, and
in such a manner that it seems almost im
possible that she could be damaged by any
ordinary disaster. The hull is three hun
dred aud eighty feet lour inches in extreme
length, ana seventy-two feet ten inches ex
treme beam. The main hold sis twenty-two
feet seven and a half inches iu depth. Her
tonnage is set dowu by naval authorities iu
the register as 5,060 tons.
BULKHEADS.
Bulkheads in vessels are partitions which
divide the lower part into sections, and are
used for the purposes of strength and pro
tection against the results of stranding or in
jury by ramming or shot which would cause
the vessel to lean. The arrangement of the
Dunderberg’s bulkheads are such that she
may properly be described as a double ves
sel, one being built inside the other. The
outer vessel destroyed or rather seriously in
jured aud the inner one would be apt to bouy
up the mass. The bulkheads run longitudi
nally as well as trausverse ly, inclosing the
engines, and at the same time furnishing a du
ple space for the coal-bunkers, whicb, when
tilled with coal, give additional security to
the engines and boilers against shot or the
stroke of a ram driven in by the enemy, if
she could do such a thing. The precautions
taken to render the vessel invulnerable seem
complete in every respect, and designed with
a view to accomplish the greatest results if
they should ever be tested to their full ex
tent.
the ram.
The ram is perhaps the feature of the Dun
derberg, and wili attract general observation
and comment. It is an instrument which has
been adopted within the past few years for
the purpose of with one fell swoop and crash
to blot out the existence of an antagonist
against whose sides it might be brought to
act. Its very name carries with it a dread
not easily to be portrayed or even imagined.
It is a terrible instrument when well directed
and driven with requisite force. The ram of
the Dunderberg is a portion of the ship it
self, and is not bolted on or secured as is
usual in most vessels intended for ramming
purposes. It is the bow of the vessel fash
ioned into a huge beak. To form this ram
the vessel is a solid mass ot timber from her
stem, extending back fifty feet, rendering it
impossible for any shock to break it off and
thus endanger the vessel. This ram is ar
mored with a wrought-iron jacket or front
piece to protect it not only from shot but
from abrasion in contact.
THE FLANKING AND ARMOR CUSHION.
The planking on the outer hull is five in
ches in thickness. Outside of the outer
plgpkipg is the covering of logs, composed
of mauy courses. This commences at noth
ing aud widens put at the top to seven feet,
so that at the bilge it is three feet, and at the
water line six feet in thickness. On the
cushion, which is filled in solid, is placed the
armor.
. THE ARMOR.
The iron armor, required for the Ouuder
befg will be about one thousand tons. About
one-half, pr five hundred tons, is already in
its position on tl)e ship. The side-armor is
of the best hammered iron, manufactured
into slabs, from twelve to fifteen feet in
length, by three feet in width. These plates
are three ancj a hall inches, and are screw
bolted to the arnior cushion bv ope and a
balf inch bolts. The plates are placed ver
tically, and not horizontically, as is the case
with the iron-clad vessels of Europe.
The armor which covers the casemate is
four and a half in thickness, and is also
placed vertically on the sloping sides, and is
screw-bolted with one and a half inch bolts,
which enter the wood-work to the depth of
eighteen inches, none of these fastenings
passing through the sides ; so there will be
no nuts or bolts flying about the deck in ac
tion. These slabs are twenty-eight inches
in width, and are over eight feet in height.
The armor iron used is the best quality that
the market affords, and will be put in posi
tion with a nicety and care hitherto not
reached in this kind of work. The top of
the casemate will have a light bomb-proof
armor. The main deck outside the casemate
will be covered with thick armor, and will
be secured to the deck by three-quarter inch
bolts with counter-snnk heads. The armor
will extend out over the shelf which serves
as a protection to the screw and to the rud
ders.
THE CASEMATE.
The casemate or fighting room of the Dun
derberg surmounts her enormous bull, and
is, iudeed, a tower of strength. It is con
structed of square logs, each ope foot in
thickness, and is built up to the height of
seven feet in the clear, and covered over with '
a bomb-proof deck, on which it was origin
ally intended to place two turrets similar to
those in use on board of the monitors. The
casemate will contain twelve to fourteen
eleven-inch Dablgren, and four fifteen-inch
Rodman smooth-bore guns; making it the
heaviest armament of its number ever placed
on the deck of any vessel. The Dunderberg
contract price was one million four hundred
thousand dollars—the same as the Dictator,
wbich carries only two fifteen-inch guns.
The Dunderberg has double the number of
fifteen-iuch guns, and twelve or fourteen (as
the case may be) more eleven-inch guns than
the great ocean ram of the monitor style.
The hull of the vessel from below the wa
ter line rises up to the gunwale at an angle
of about thirty-five degtees, when it joins
the casemate, which inclines inward, at an
angle of about fifty-five degrees. Tnis it is,
expected will “shed” shot with perfect ease
aud certainty. The after part of the case
mate will be fitted up as a cabin for the com
manding officer, and as is usual in war ves
sels tbe bulkhead can be taken down in ac
tion, leaving the deck clear and uninterrupt
ed its entire length.
What the Northern Soldiers Think.
( Tbe N. O. Tine Delta compiles the follow
ing from its correspondence:
THE NEGRO SUFFRAGE QUESTION.
It is the very general impression here that
all apprehensions on the negro suffrage ques
tion will soon be set to permanent re9t by the
soldiers of Grant’s armies, who having been
down South, and now returning by thous
ands upon thousands to their homes, may be
con sidled to know all about the propriety of
the negro being permitted the right te jvote.
These soldiers understand precisely what the
negro can do if set to work and closely look
ed after, as well as what a white man will
do- When it comes to voting it i3 serenely
apprehended that these soldiers will smile
from both ends of the mouth at the idea of
Mr. Chase or Mr. Greeley, who, having en
joyed four flush years of home comfort and
security, coming forward now to teach men
and veterans who have known four years of
war and the what a negro is and what
his capacities are.
SENTIMENTS OF THE SOLDIBRB ON THE TREAT
MENT OF CONFEDERATES.
Another foolish idea seems to have entered
the heads of many Northern people and edi
tors. It seems to be thought that because
our solders have been fighting |the Southern
men for four years.tliey mean to keep lighting
them now that halcyon peace has come.
None know better than our soldiers how hard
and bravely the Confederates have fonght in
the late war. They kuow how much they have
suffered and how they have lost all under it.
Now that they are free to go to what i3 left
of their homes, no one is more anxious to
see those very men enjoy a little comfort; no
one more ready to lend them a helping hand
at the plough, or divide the frugal and home
ly ration with him or them and their starve
lings, than the hardy and bronzed veterans of
the Ufiion armies—the brave and gentle
hearted men who have bitterly fought him.
The Union soldier knows that if the South
erner was wrong, he fought as if he thought
he was right anyhow, and one brave soldier
is always respected by another.
One of the Happy Family.—The large
white cat wbich everybody remembers as a
picture of perfect content; somehow escaped
from the happy family’s cage, during the
great fire, and was captured unhurt and not
even singed. Grimalkin may be seen at Mr.
Storm’s hat store, No. 136 Fulton-street, and
Mr. Barnum can secure the animal by prov
ing property and paying charges of keepiog.
The latter are not heavy, as tlie cat would
not eat until her food had been saturated
with morphine; and in this discovery Mr.
Storm tltiuks that he has obtained tlie secret
of the management of the happy family
