The Monitors Judged by their Com
manders. The publication of the documents ac
companying the report of the Secretary
of the N aj, already puts us in position to
lorm an intelligent judgment of the qual- ' deck is struck twice damagingly one
ities of tho monitors, so far as they were j shot near .the propeller well, quite ghat
tried in the great ordeal of the attack on tering and tearing the plating in its pas
the defenses of Charleston by Admiral I sage, and starting up twenty five bolta;
Iupont, in April last. But tor a fanal j
verdict it will ho proper to wa:t until
Secretary Welles shall Itave responded
to the resolution of the Senate, demand
ing the production of the papers relating
to all the actions in which the iron-clads
have ever been engaged.
Nevertheless, the action in Charleston
harbor remains the grand crucial test of
the monitors against forts; and the re
ports of the several commanders of the
iron flee-, detailing the experience and
fortunes of their respective, vessels, are
in the highest degree valuable. We sub
join extracts from the testimony of each
of the Captains bearing on the point of
the injury received by their vessels.
Capt Drayton, of the Passaic, reports:
At the fourth shot from a 11-inch cun.
r i . i - - .i
i was sir -ick in quicn succession in tne
lower part of the turret by two heavy
hot, whi;h bulrred in the plates ami
beams, and forcing together the rails
on which the 11-inch carriage worked,
and rendsred it wholly useless for the
remainder of tho action, several hours
being necessary to put it agniu in work
ing order. Soon after, it was discovered
that there was something the matter
with thettirret itself, and on examination
it was found that a part of the brass ring
underncat1) it had been broken off, and
being forced in board, had jammed; on
clearing this the turret could again be
moved, but for some tim irregularly.
A little after a very heavy rifle shot
struck the u pledge of the turret, broke
all of its eleven plates, and then glanc
ing upward took the pilot house, yet
with siich force as to make an indenta
tion of two and a half inches, extending
nearly the whole length of the shot. The
blow was too severe as to considerably
mash in the pilot house, bend it over,
open the plates and squeeze out the top,
so that on one side it was lifted up three
inches above the top on which it rested,
exposing tho inside of the pilot house,
iind rendering it likely that the next shot
would take off the top itself entirely.
Captain John Kodgers of the Weehaw
ken, reports :
Two or three heavy shots struck the
side armor near the same place. They
have so broken the iron that it only re
mains in splintered fragments upon" that
spot; touch of it can be picked off hy
hand, and the wood is exposed.
The deck was pierced so as to make a
hole, through which water ran into the
veosel; hut it was not lsirgo. Thirty-six
bolts were broken in tho turret, and a
good many :.n the pilot house; but as
iheso are concealed by an iron lining, I
have uo ngr-ans of knowing how many.
At one time the turret revolved with
difficufty in consequence of a shot upon
its junction with the pilot house, but it
worked well ngsiin ufler a few turns hud
been made with a higher steam.
Captain Worden, of the Montauk, re
ports : ,
I desire to say that I experienced se
rious embarrassment in nianteverinr my
vessel in the narrow and uncertain chan
nel, with the limited means of observa-
1 tion afforded from the pilot house, under
the rapid and concentrated lire from the
forts, the vesssls of the tleetclosed around
me, and neither compass nor buoys to
guide me. After testimj the weight of
the enemy's jtiv, and observing the ob
structions, 1 am ltd to believe that
Charleston cannot be taken by the naval
forces now present, and that had the at
tack been continued, it could not have
failed to result in disaster.
Commander Daniel Ammcn, of the
Patapsco, reports:
Forty-seven projectiles of the enemy
struck the vessel. No damage was done
which disabled her, although injuries
were received which, multiplied, would
do to. Forty bolts of the mnoke stack
; were broken, and a chain around will be
; necessary to its continued security. I
I am indebted to Acting Master Vaughan,
! transferred temporarily to this vessel,
j for valuable aid in avoiding collisions,
' as it is out of "he question for one person
I to observe propcrlv from the various
li-rht holes. I think a want of vision one
of the most serious defects of this class,
making it impassible to fight them advan
tageously, to avoid dangers, or to make
a satisfactory reconnoissance.
Another question of great importance,
as relates to their emcient employment,
is tne character ot the battery.
It it is
I i . , , r .' .... , K
i t . - . ,
i neaT7 Ordnance, It employed
in heavy
batteries against us, cannot fail in the
end to injure or perhaps disable us.
Commander G. W. Rodgers, of the
Catskill, reports:
I was surprised to find, even with this
severe fire, that these vessels could be so
much injured ia so short a time, two or
i three having passed me during the ac
tion to which same disaster had happen
ed. This vessel was struck some twenty
times, but without any serious injury,
except one shot upon thn forward part of ;
the deck, which broke both plates, the i
deck planking, and drove down the iron
stanchion sustaining this beam about one j
inch, causing the deck to leak.
Commander Fairfax, of the Nantuck- j
et, reports :
Our fire was very slow, necessarily,
and not half :;o observable upon the '
: walls of the fort as the rain of their ri-
j fle-shot and heavy shell was upon tbi3 '
! vessel. After the third shot from the ;
, 15-inch gun the port stopper became :
i jammed, several shots strikinj very near '
the port and driving in the plating; it
' was not used again. II
am convinced that although this class of
: vessels can stand a very heavy fire, vet
I the want of more guns will render them
comparatively harmless before formida-
i ble earthworks and forts. I mu3t say
that I am disappointed beyond measure
j at this experiment of monitors overcom- ,
; ing strong forts. It was a fair trial.
Capt Downes, of the Nahant, reports : j
We soon began to suffer from the ef
fects of the terrible and, I believe, nl
most nnprecedented firo to which we
were ex posted, and at 4:.,U the turret re-
fuswl t,lrn- llavin? become jammed
from the
eiiects tr luree blows trom
heavy shot. The bolt-heads

at the same tiruo struck down pilot, Mr.
Sofield, twice struck and senseless rand
the qnartermasler Edward Cobb, helms
man, fatally, injuring with fractured

the. steering gear becoming at the same
time disarranged. .
We received the following injuries to j
the vessel ana fittings, besides those al
ready enumerated: plates on side armor
broken badly in several places, and in
one, where str ick by two shots in close
proximity, partly striped from the wood
atd the wcol backing broken in, with
d.'ing of deck plates started up and
rolled back in places. On port quarter
side armor deeply indented, and started
from side and eitreimtv- of stern.

and aligLter blows are Humorous.
In smoke-stack armor there aro three
shot-marks one that pierced the armor,
making a hole fifteen inches long and
nine inches broad, displacing grating in
side and breaking seven bolts. In the
turret there re marks of nine shots;
5G of the bolts aro broken precipitately
to us, the bolt-haads flying off inside the
turret, and the bolts starting almost their
entire length outside, some of them Hy
ing out completely, and being found at
considerabli distance from the turret on
the deck. Doubtless there are many
others broken that we cannot detect, as
by trying them we find others loosened.
One shot struck the upper part of tho
turret, breaking through cverv nlafp. !

parting some ot them in two, three or
lour places. In the pilot house there
were marks of six shots, three of them
11-inch; twenty-one of the bolts were
broken perceptibly, aad others evidently
started. The plates are also much start
ed, and the pilot-house itself, I think,
much damaged and wrecked; indeed, it
is my opinion that four more such shots
as it received would have demolished it.
One shot at the base broke every plate

We publish below that portion of the
report of Hon. Joseph J. Lewis, Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, as relates
to the proposed increase of the tax on
tobacco.
This is a subject of vital interest to
this section, as it is the great tobacco
growing region of the loyal States:
Tax of five to ten cents per pound on
manujaciured, and twenty cents per
pound on leaf tobacco.
Among tho luxuries not in any form
necessary to subsistence, and generally
deemed to some extent noxious, and,
therefore, usually selected by other na
tions as a peculiarly proper subject of
tax, is tobacco. Our present excite
it ... ... .
wears very ncrnuyon tnis corornocin v, ana
uarrer tax wouiu e. I I link, cneer n v

" . . . : .
production. In England the tax on
every hundred pounds of unmanufac
tured tobacco, exclusive of warehouse
duties, is seventy-seven dollars and
seventy-two rnts; on snuff ewe hundred
and fifty-four dollars and sixty-four cents;
and on manufactured tobacco two hun
dred and thirty-two dollars and thirteen
cents being on the last upwards of two
dollars and thirty cents per pound. The
objects sought to be obtained by this
mode of taxation were, doubtless, to
raise as much revenue as possible from
the importation of raw material, and to
secure the profits of preparing it for con
sumption to tho British manufacturer.
! It has been successful in both respects.
! The yield in revenue from this source for
j several years prior to 1861 averaged
more than twenty-seven millious of dol
i lars, while the manufactured article was,
in a great, measure exciuoeu. for turee
years there was no importations of snuff,
except eighteen pounds only, to Ireland,
and the importations of manufactured
tobacco, in all other shapes, ranged from
two hundred and sixty-nine thousand to
four hundred and twenty-eight thousand
dollars only in value. 1 France the
tobacco trade is a government monopo
ly; and while our exportation of the
commodity ia the leaf to that coun
try aro only inferior in amount to
oar exportations to Great Britain and
Ireland, it took from us no more
than twenty - nine pounds in three
years, and the largest amount of
manufatured tobacco exported thither
in anyone year was, in value, but seven
thousand three hundred and seventy-one
dollars. For many years our exports to
France have varied from three-fifths to
four-fifths of all the tobacco consumed
in thatkingdon. In l.sGU they amounted
to thirly-two million three hundred
and five thousand two hundred and
forty pounds, at the average cost of eight
cents and three-tenths of a cent per
pound; aud the net profits to the Gov
ernment, on the manufactory and sale
of that product of American Boil, was
not less than thirteen million seven hun
dred and twenty-nine thousand live hun
dred and forty-eight dollars. These prof
its have been estimated for several suc
cessive years, and been found to vary
from four hundred and forty-seven to live
hundred and fourteen per cent, on the
Hons and limitations with wbieh this
trade is clogged by foreign nations have
been long unsatisfactory to our people,
and in the year 1859, they became tho
subject of certain resolutions of Con
gress, protesting that they wero wholly ir.
consislant with that fair anil reciprocal
condition of commerce which ought to
exist lietwecn the Cnited States and
those nations; but the protest, so far as
I have learned, has been unheeded. 1'n
der such eircumstrnces it is well to con
sider how, in laving our excise duties, we
may at once serve the purpose of reve
nne and protect our own manufactories.
There seems to be DO good reason why
we should furnish the raw product cheaply
to foreign nations on such terms as to
enable them to tax it for their own bene
fit, aud to make it n means of stimula;
ting their domestic industry.
The diminished production, owing to
the Southern rebellion, was fer short last
year of what it was in previous years.
In lSt'iO it was, in round numbers, four
hnndred and twenty-eight millions of
Hjunds. Last yenr it was only two hun
dred and eighty millions of pounds. This
year,notwithstanding the extensive plant,
ing in the Northern aud Middle States,
the crep is estimated in the last report
of the Agricultural Bureau at only two
hundred and fifty-eight millions, being
still one hundred and seventy millions of
pounds less than in 1800. While the
domestic production is thus diminished,
the foreign demand has been constantly
increasing, and it will not be likely to be
seriously affected by the difference in
price wuicn its exportation, subject to
our excise on tne raw material, win oc
casion. I therefore beg leave to submit
the proposition that tobacco be taxed in
the leaf in the hands of the producer,
and that no drawback be allowed on its
exportation in that shape, so that tho
cost to the foreign manufacturers mny
be increased to tho extent of our excise.
If any drawback is to be allowed, the
proper policy of encouraging and sus
taining our own manufacturer against
the adverse legislation of a foreign gov
ernment, seems to require that it shall
be allowed, if at all, only on the manu
factured article. The extent to which
the allowance should go is a question of
some nicety. The tax on tobacco in the
leaf, with all the stems on, might, I
think, be fixed with advantage to the
revenue, and without injury to the pro
ducer, at twenty cents per pound. A
light tax, varying lrom hve to ton or
twelve cents per pound additional, might j
be imposed on the manufactured com-1
modity. A drawback on this, of trom
ten to fifteen cents, would give to the do
mestic manufacturer all the advantages
he would desire in the foreign market,
and would in some measure countervail ,
the legislation of foreign nations to his ,
prejudice.
Tho imposition of the tax on tobacco
in the leaf is further recommended by
the consideration that, united with prop- '
er regulations for inspection, it will tend i
to defeat the fraudulent practices by
v hich the Government is now deprived i
of much revenue due from this source.
