From the Cbm‘ant.
The Clowns of the one-Herse
Towns.
I saw a. piece so funny and nice
In the COURANT last week, that in a tricc
I clipped it out, and have laughed ever since;
For it “took us down" like an English Prince.
And it “ done us up,” so uncommonly brown,
We thought it was meant for “ this ere“ one-horse
town. 1.
And ever sincc_—.now isn’t it fine?
We’ve tried to sit up ’till half-past nine;
Add every morning at half-past four,
You nothing can hear but a general snore ;
And every mean little, green little, sleepy clown,
Is dreaming of his own little “ one-horse town.”
They don’t go peaking now like hungry foxes,
Poking their noses into the post-office boxes,
To see if that letter is Sallie’s or Roxie’s;
But if they’ve any business; they mind their own,
For fear that the author of “The One-Horse Town, ,
Will again do ’cni up, unco monly brown.
If a fellow is out of a Sunday night,
Rather late of the two, and don‘t feel very bright,
They don‘t roar as they did, but look rather shy,
And with a tap of the foot, a wink of the eye,
Take “ mum” for the word, to avoid being blown,
By the veritable author of "The One-Horse Town.“
’Tis a capital joke, “ much pettcr as goot ;”
Now a man may wear a bran new suit ;
Pants, coat and cravat, new boots to boot;
“Can’t see it,” you see, and they look at each other,
Expecting the author is this one or t’other,
Keeping whist all the while as Pharaoh’s mother.
But they all have’nt seen those satirical verses,
And so they keep on in their street gadding courses,
“ Joined to their idols ;” they‘ll stick to their trade,
While letters are “writ," or matches are made;
The meanest little, greenest little, detestable clowns,
Found in all your “ mean little, green little, one-
horse towns.” o.

- Some Mistakes.
We are confident that there is a very
exaggerated impression current as to the
mortality of our regiments in the field.—
Thls misapprehension arises from the fact
that the army on . the Peninsula has
dwindled down so rapidly,and the reports
so Often seen that regiments go into but-
tle with only half their full number.
We believe that the loss of the army
under McClellan is much larger than
in any other portion of the service, and
that it has been much larg: I there than
it is likely to be again. The troops suf-
fered seVerely in. the swamps at York-
rience repeated. But it is now ascer-
tained that the great loss in McClellan’s
army has not 118.1 by death, either in
camp or in battle. His army has been
reduced by leaves of absence 1. It is the
estimate of army officers that from 50,000
_to 75,000 of the original army of the Po-
tomac are at present, or were recently,
absent from their regiments at the north,
nearly all of whom should be on duty.—
Thc majority of this vast number got
leave of absence on account of sickness,-
serious or slight, and continue at home
when the reason for so doing has ceased.
Thousands of these men are nowreturu-
iug under the recent stringent order of
the war department; and it will be kind
that the loss of the army of the POtomac
though heavy, heavier than in any other
of the great divinions, is not nearly so
large as has been generally believed.
What is true of McClellan’s army can
be affirmed of that at' the West. And
both are now being daily reinforced by
the return of absentees. Indeed, 'the
statistics of this war show that it is not
so dangerous a business as has been rep-
resented of late. There are two New
York regiments in Gen. Hunter’s depart-
ment, neither Of which, up to the middle
of June, (the last accurate report of
them,) had lost a man by disease, and
they have been healthy since. The Bus-
ton Journal says that of the ‘901 men
furnished to the army last year by the
city ofRoxbui'v, only 14 have fallen in
battle and, 8 by disease, which is one
death in 43. Thus showing that danger
from theguns of the enemy added to the
exposures incident to camp life did not
increase the mortality in a given‘thousand
of men over what it would have been at
home. The Connecticut Seventh, al-
though it left the state with less than a
full regiment, although it has been put
to severe labor, and has had occasionally
pretty hard fare, has made exhausting
marches and undergone extraordinary fa-

. We can mentioubther rcgiments that
have done us well." There are some in
the department of. the west which stand
even better than those we have spoken
of. And it, is, tobc noticed inlthis con-
nection that theimortality'is less in the
old regiments than in the new ones—-
The Officersnnd men learn how'to take
care of themselves; how and wherel'to
camp ; how to ,c'Ook, .how, in short, to
make themselves comfortable and healthy;
It is true that the casaulties. in. some
great battle may be eXcessive in a regi-
ment. But the rule'holds good still that
the chances ,Of livingiu the regiments are
more nearly equal to the chances of'liv-
lug at home than is generally supposed.
We are aware that this is contrary to
the general opinion but it is not unrea~
souable. The out-door life of the soldier
is invigorating and as a general rule
healthful, to those who go into it with
sound bodles. ' It is nO'place for invalids.
The danger from ,battle is exceptional
and the liability to injury even under fire
is known to be comparatively slight, con-
sidering its threatening aspect.
Womenthu these things with no in.
tention Of detracting from the seriousness
of this war, or of saying. that to go into
it is not a great sacrifice, and does not
call for courage and the highest patriot-
ism ; but to correct some very exaggera-
ted notions as to the dangers of a Soldiers
life that have gained ground since the un-
usual disasters onthe Peninsula. . .

WHAT IS DOING IN IRON-GLAD Vassms.‘
Our Government is wisely strengthening;
the navy iu the class of vessels which
have recently proved, to be the most cf-
ficieut for war purpdses. All our availa-
ble iron establishments are employed at
this time in building iron-clad steamers
of various kinds, some after the fashion
of the Monitor, .all of which will be com-
pleted by autumn, giving us the most
powerful-ironclad navy yet constructed.
Captain Ericsson has 'a . contract for six
largesMonitors,all on the general plan
of‘thc first MOnitor', but each with pecu-
liarities of its own. Some of these Will
be 300 feet long, or nearly twice the
length of the-first Monitor. e turrets
will be three inches thicker than the ship '
under this pattern; The whole six ve's-’_
sels gr'e intended for sea service, as well"
as harbor defence.
These gunboats are being built at
Greenwich, by Mr. Rowland. They are
312 feet long, with armor six inches
thick. The ' Whitney gunboat, being
built at the Dry 'Dock Iron Works, is
different in form from any other. It is
shaped like a duck, is 156 feet long, and
is entirely built o‘firou, having no wood
work in her frame-or sides. The frame,
is rings 'or ribs, of iron, ' growing smaller
toward the ends; the ribs are three-quar-
ters of an'iinchin thickness. The iron
plates, to-the thickness of seven inches,
It will carry
two largeturrets, and be propelled with
four propeller engines. At the how

long. . , .l _ ,
The other iron-clad vessels being con-
structed are; one by Mr. Colwell, at J er-
sey City, which is an iron clad Monitor.
Qne is being built at Boston, precisely
of the same pattern." Three hulls and
six turrets, by T. F. Rowland, at Green-
poiut. Three sets of engines and boilers
for these threellulls are being built at
the Delameter'Works, New York city.
Two hulls‘complete, with engines and
boilers. but without turrets, at Chester,
plete, with engines and boilers, but with-
out turret,‘ at Wilmington, Del. The
U. S. steam frigate Roanoke is being
covered with armor and supplied with
turrets-at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.—
Thc Ironsides, atthls port, is nearly
completed. The new Monitors cost
$400,000 oach, Which is cheaper than,
the wooden vesselsof the same size.—
The Roanokecost $500,000 and $50,000
annually to keep her in repair. ' - ' ,
Each of the! Monitor class 'of vessels
shot weighing four hundred and twenty-

the weight of the round shot fired from
