ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT BRITISH IKON-CLAD IN MARYLAND WATERS—DESCRIPTION OK THE SHIP—HER ARMAMENT, SI'EED, CON STRUCTION, AC. DESCRIPTION OF THE MONARCH. The Monarch is a vessel of commanding appearance, of 5,098 tons. She is 330 feet in length, 57 feet 6 inches beam, and draws 38 feet. Her engines are 1,100-horse power. Her battery is carried in two of Captain Cowper Cole’s turrets, with three chase guns of a less calibre mounted at the ex tremities and protected by an armored casemate. The weight of the hull, with shin-plating and extra girders included, is 3,574 tons; the other weights, boilers, ma chinery, spars, <fcc., amount to 4,682 tons. The hull, which is of iron, is protected by 7-inch fron armor on the most important parts, and 6-inch on the other parts, the plating being supported by 12 Inches ol teak backing, with 1% inch thickness of skin-plating and an arrangement of longi tudinal girders, which are worked at inter vals of about two feet, thus forming a net work of foaming in conjunction with the strong vertical frames inside the skin plating, which are about the same distance apart. This device has proved so satisfac tory as regards the efficient support it gives to the armored side that it has been adopt ed in all British lron-clad3 built since the famous Bellerophou. THE TURRETS. The turrets of the Monarch are 26 feet 6 inches in diameter, and are constructed on the same principle as her side armor. The iron plating on the turret is 8 inches In ttaiclsiess, laid upon a teak backing of 13 inches, with an iron skin of I>£ inch. Each turret is pierced for two guns, and near the port-holes the plating is increased to 10 inches. The turret bed rests upon the main deck, additional support beiug given to the deck immediately beneath by a combina tion of Tron pillars and supports. On the main deck armor-plated bulkheads are placed athwart the ship, inside of which are the turrets, the engine funnel and steer ing apparatus, the latter intended to be used when the ship is in action. These bulkheads are similar in construction to her sides, with the exception that the war armor is only 5 inches in thickness, laid upon a teak backing of 10 inches, and the usual skin plating stiffened and supported by the ordinary longitudinal girders ami frames. The entire central portion of the Monarch is thus enclosed and protected by shot-proof sides and bulkheads, which en close the turrets and ship’s machinery.— The turrets are thus deprived of their pri mary and a supreme advantage—that of providing an all-round Are for the guns, and more especially a head Are. The de privation, her builder says, is consequent upon the determination of the admiralty to adopt forecastles, which are intended to keep the ship dry in steaming against a head spa, and to enable the head sails to be worked. It was to make up somewhat this loss of head Are from the turrets that the two 6)^-ton guns were put on the forecas tle of the main deck. The forward turret guns are capable only of Aring at an angle of not les3 than 10 degrees with the ves sel’s keel. The after-turret lunettes are the same, and the 20 degrees lost is made up by placing, a ff’-g-ton guu in an armored case mate similar to the forward one, which keeps the circuit of Are nuiinpaired, except in force, or rather weight of metal. ARMAMENT. The guns in the turrets are an unusual height above the water, the Monarch having a “ free-board” of upward of 12 feet, which enables the guns to be fought at a height of »feet above the water. The bul warks within the range of the turret guns are hinged, and when the vessel is cleared for action, they are allowed to hang along side of the vessel out of the way. The tur ret guns, fouirin number, arc known as twenty-five top guns, and are rifted, throw ing six hundred pound shot. These guns are twelve Inches In diameter of bore, and are charged with seventy pounds of gun jwwder, giving to the shot when fired an initial velocity of 1,212 feet per second, the total “ energy” of the projectile at 1,000 yards being 5,106 foot-tons. The three ton guns employed at the extremities are rifled. The diameter of bore is 7 inches. The projectile used weighs 115 pounds, and 22 pounds of powder are used in obtaining a a initial velocity of 1,430 feet per second, the total energy of the projectile at 1,000 yards being 1,143 foot-tons. SPEED. The speed of the Monarch has attracted much attention, and has, on several occa sions, exceeded 14 knots. Her highest rate of speed, officially recorded, is 14,937 knots, the highest attained by any of the British armor-clad ships at load draught. From a table recently published by the chief con structor of the royal navy, E. J. Reed, C. 8., some Idea can be gained of the time and distances some of the principal English Iron-clads can steam before the coal is ex hausted : Co*! .-Sneed of lit knots Sneed o r 1 1 kno‘s—, Supply.

CONSTRUCTION. The bow of the Monarch is specially con structed and strengthened to allow her to be used as a ram, while provision is made for the prevention of serious consequences should she sustain injuries while so em ployed. The spur or ram may be complete ly knocked off without endangering the main structure in the least. She was built at the Chatham dock yard, and cost about £55 per ton. The bills footed up a total. outlay on labor and materials £175,513, or ] a total, with 12J£ per cent, on actual out lay at the dock yard, £194,152. She Is fitted out as a full-rigged ship, and Instead of the “ tripod ” masts she has ordinary iron ones. A light, lofty upper deck receives the boats and affords a passage for the officer* above the urrets. The running rigging Is worked upon the upper dock, over which the tur rets have to Are, and consequently a num ber of contrivance* have been fitted to keep both tile standing and running rigging tolerably clear of the guns. The standing rigging is of trou wire, and when the ship got* into action it Is qateiUy triced up, and the Hying iron deck I* topped up out of Un way. An armored pilot boss* Is wsrtMi in which the usinuMhif I* stationed la actio*, i*4 by menu* of | system of hri** graph? is enabled to coimuunica e with the steering wheel, engines, turrets and the bat teries located at the extremities. The Monarch, as well as other vesse’s of the British navy, is Attcd with gas works andean be lighted throughout with gas' She can be steered by steam, with one man at the steering machine, and a variety of labor-saving machines are distributed throughout the shjp. Among them arc several of C& ncrou's “ Special” Steam Pumps, an American invention which has found favor iu Europe, and is now being extensively adopted in the royal uavy. Some of the turret engines and machinery of the Monarch have been supplied by the agents of the same inventor. Her accom modations for officers and crew are com plete, and she is ventilated in the most per fect manner. There can be no question but tka.fr she is the “ crack ship” of the royal navy. Mr. Reed says: “It is hardly pos sible to foresee in what way the competi tion between guns and ships will termi nate ; but having the experience we pos sess of the successful accomplishment of what only a few years ago were regarded as impossibilities in the construction of iron-clads, it would be folly to attempt to set a limit to the results that will be at tained in the future. The admiralty have long been In possession of a design for a turret ship, with sides plated with 15-inch armor, aud turrets with 18-inch armor. I have also prepared outline designs, not on extravagant dimensions, to carry 20-inch armor, both on broadsides and on turrets. The Last Days of a Bohemian Woman. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Telegraph writes as follows : The other evening I accep‘ed an invita tion of a somewhat peculiar character, and paid a visit to a certain feminine re putability, who, at one time, was exceed ingly well known as a queen in Bohemia. That time has long since passed, and the woman of good abilities, who might have won a fair success upon the stage, or with her pen, now lives from hand to month in one wretched room, dealing out spiteful gossip in excellent language, smoking strong cigars, drinking raw whisky, sand witching her sentences with highly-flavor ed oaths, cramming herself with spiritual ism, and indulging largely in reminisceuses of palmier days, when diamonds and laces were plentiful, and she one of the giddiest Floras of the period. The acquaintance who introduced me promised me I should see a strange sight— to use his own language, “ an Intellectual woman going to the devil.” The description was a very sad one. It was very sad to see that womaii lyiug there —for it was pa9t midnight and she was in bed—her hair streaming upon the pillow, the rumpled frills of her night-dress be traying more than a blonde-burlesque am plitude of bosom, her cheeks more becom- ingly hetic than any rougeHcould make them, aud her eyes flashing like generous dark gems. With a carelessness which she neither apologized for nor attempted to remedy, the bed-clothes were huddled around her form, and as we entered she Aung down the book—it was Swedenborg’s Heaven and lied —and greeted us with a saucy self-possession which the airiness of her attire rendered rather piquant.— It was like visiting a played-out Cora Pearl—a eocotle in her.last days, when the Arst two syllables arc gone out of the bub ble-and-squeak of existence, and only the squeak remains. She had come down to the soup maigre of life, after having lin gered long, loath to depart, over the grouse and pheasant. Some valuable diamonds she still retained, and one magnificent cluster she had fastened around her neck. The furniture of the room was extremely cheap and common, and the various arti cles of the toilet were “ slung ” around with a greater regard to the convenience of the moment than the eternal fitness oftbings. How she talked ! It was painfully grati fying to hear her. Her power In conversa tion was far beyond that of any one else In the room, and she wielded it incessantly and with apparent relish during the hour we remained; now giving anecdotes of Lola Montez and Adah Isaacs Menken, (whose portraits decorate the wails of her room), now vehemently declaiming against what she termed the shameless hypocrisy of a woman who notoriously apes morali ty, and scandalizes, for spite’s sake, a pro fession she never possessed the physical charms to succeed in. Puffing the very strong cigar that one oi the men in the room had offered her, bullying her guest for not having brought her so much as a mug of ale from the restaurant below, quoting thoughtful aphorisms from Bulwer and emotional passages from Byron, ex pressing a sensuous delight in children, and especially in boys, swallowing raw liquor wi’h no greater apparent flush either in her face or emphasis, proudly trampling down her sense of degradation, and boast ing that right or wrong she meant to fight it out on that line to the latest day of her existence, defiantly announcing that it was her principle in life to do as she pleased without caring a what anybody thought, the woman was a spectacle not easily to be forgotten. She was one of,those fascinating sinners whose repentance angels are said to rejoice over. Will she ever give them a chance i The Affray at Lowe’s Blacksmith Shop. —A paragraph appeared in this paper oil Sunday last under the head of “Shock ing Murder,” which was not quite correct, but was believed to be so by the party who gave us the information. The following are the facts as we got them from a reliable source: Mr. John L Smith and Samuel P. Farrar, of Jones county, met at Mr. Lowe’s black smith shop, about one mile from this city on the Clinton road, lase on Saturday after noon last, and a difficulty arose between them in regard to Mr. Farrar’s desire to hitch his horse to Mr. Smith’s buggy. Mr. Smith was sitting in his buggy at the time Mr. Farrar took hold of Smith’s horse, when Smith told him to turn the horse and at the same time attempted to get out of his buggy, when Farrar seized him aud stabbed him in the left shoulder or breast. Smith immediately drew his knife and advanced upon Farrar, when the latter snatched up a s'edge hammer lying near and struck Smith a heavy overhand blow, knocking him down. He then struck him twice more with the hammer when the parties were separated. Mr. S. was taken np In an insensible condition and very bad ly hurt, and carried home, and hence the party who brought the Information to town, late on Saturday evening, really thought Smith was dead. We heard yesterday, however, that his physician says he will recover, though he Is severely Injured. The parties are brothers-i-i-Uw and were a 'title intoxicated at the time ; but those who witnessed the affair and heard Mr. Farrar's remarks when striking Smith, say there must have tieen some old score to set tle between them. A* the present writing, Monday after noon, Mr. Farrar has not been arrested, J Moron Tri'ijrtijiU awl l/utttljkr, 22<(, ' The Baptist church si (Jaruesvills have unanimously recommend Uaiuasvliie *a thw I place to which Mercer University should he removed, if a remev*i is tlahotmitiwl I iiywr Aid l From tbe Levant Time*. Solemn Adoration of Mahomet's Teeth and Cloaks. The most solemn of Mussleman ccre ™o“,es hich Is celebrated yearly on the 15th of Ramazan, took place on Saturday mst, when the Sultan, the whole of the Ministers, and all the great dignitaries of Church and State proceeded to inspect and adore the personal relics of the Prophet.— These venerated remains amount to seven exclusive of several minor articles, such as arms, praying carpets, turbans, &c., either appertaining to him or to his immediate successors, the first four calfs, Bood Bekr, Oiner, Osman and Ali, generally distin guished as “ the four friends.” Os these seven articles, five are preserved in a chamber or chapel at the upper Seraglio, opening iuto a gallery northwest of”the takht Ouassy (throne room) and fronting the beautifol octagonal pavilion, called Rnvan kiosk, erected in honor of the cap ture of that place. Thts chapel Is termed furkayehereef odatsy (chamber of the holy mantle), from one of the relics therein pre served. Unless under accidental circum stances, this chamber is not accessible to ChrlsUanS’ no matter what their rank Indeed, no Moslems are ever admitted within its precincts, excepting the Saltan and palace inams, and the guardians who keep watch two by two, night aud day. On the 15th of Ramazan, however, the Sultan, attended by his court, and the grand dignitaries of the empire, en ters to do homage. The whole of the relics are then uncovered and exposed with extraordinary pomp aud solemnity. The remaining two personal relics consist of a tooth and a second mantle, belonging to the Prophet. The one is preserved in the mausoleum of Snltan Mohammed 11, and is showu to the public on the 27th llami zau, the night of power or destiny. The second is at present in the possession of the second astrologer to the court, who resides iu the immediate vicinity of Sultan Mo hammed’s mosque. The possessor of this latter relic, whose ancestors are said to have inherited and preserved It In direct succession from one of the Prophet’s disci ples, is honored with the title of kirka-y --shereef eheikhy (sheikh of the holy mantle). It Is exposed to public view during the last fifteen nights of Ramazan, and the owner reaps a rich annual harvest from the numerous presents brought to him by the multitude of devout persons, especially women, who throng to his house from sun set until midnight, during the last half of the festival. On Monday evening two transport steamers left for Antivari with troops, lii consequence, it is said, of the receipt of unsatisfactory news from Alba nia. Two local prints, the Djevaib, an Arabic, and the Teraki, a Turkish paper, have been suspended for two months, the former for publishing and the latter for re producing an article on the dispute with the Viceroy, favorable to liis Highness.— Palace gossip reports the early return of Nevrez-Pasha to his old post of bashmus ahib (head buffoon), combining with it this time the more dignified functions of Grand Marshal of the Imperial Household. The rumor of Mithad Pasha’s proximate recall from the government of Bagdad is also current, and Mehemef. Rushdi Pasha, Min ister of the Interior, is spoken of as his most likely successor. Anew envoy is also to be sent to Teheran. It is probattle that these and some other changes will take place immediately after Bairam.” Josh Billings in the Editor's Chair. HIS ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. Fred—Yew aint oblieged to ask the girl’s mother if you may go home with her from a party; get the girl’s endorsement, and go iu ; it is proper enough to ask her to take your arm, but you have no right to put your arm around her waist unless you meet a bear ou the road, and then you are supposed to relinquish your bold as soon as the bear gets safely by. Whip—You are right—mules do liveto a lonely age; I have knowu them myself to live one hnudrea years and not half try. You are also right about their,being sure footed ; I have known them to kick a boy twice in a second, ten feet off. Gertrude—Your inquirystumpsme. The more I think about it, the mere I can’t tell. As near as I can recollect now, I think 1 don’t know. Much might be said both ways; neither may be right. Upon the whole, I think that I would or wouldu’t, just as I think best or otherwise. Plutarch—You’re mistaken ; the Shakers don’t marry. If young Shakers fall In love they are set to weedin onions, which knres them forthwlthily. I can't tell you how much it takes to join the Shakers, but I believe the expense used to be, including having your hair cut and learning to dance, about 65 dollars. The State Fair for 1870.—The pro ceedings of the Executive Committee of the Georgia State Agrlcuitur.il Society show that all the necessary arrangements have been made for holding their annual fair at Atlanta this year. This committee has been in session three days, and have disposed of a considerable amount of business, and, in connection with our City Council, have made such arrange ments as will certainly guarantee a good success this year. The improvement at the Fair Ground and all necessary arrangements are to be jierfected by the City Council. They are to pay the premium list snd all expenses and will receive and control all the receipts of the fair. Th< re has been appointed a Conference Committee, from the Executive Committee, to act in connection with Council. The Executive Committee of the Society will award the premiums. We are informed that a very attractive premium list will be arranged- one of the best in the Southern States since tue war. Everything seems to indicate now that the fair of 1870 will by no means be a fail ure, but will redound to the credit of the good old State of Georgia. lAtlarUa Constitution.
