ssels which accompanied them, warned by the fate of the Cumberland, returned to Old Point. The Minnesota, though aground, was near enough to take part in the action, and opened a heavy fire on the Confederate squadron. About this time Flag-Officer Buchanan hailed the Patrick Henry, and directed Commander Tucker to burn the Congress, which vessel had run ashore, hauled down her ensign, and hoisted a white flag. The gunboats, Raleigh, Beaufort and Teaser, had attempted to burn her, but had bly a short distance when the Virginia was seen to move and her propeller to turn, showing that she required no assistance. That evening all the Confederate vessels went into the harbor of Norfolk. Flag-Officer Tattnall having relieved Flag Officer Buchanan, who had been seriously wounded in the first day's fight in Hampton Roads, and all the vessels having been refitted, on the 13th of April the squadron again sallied out to meet the enemy.

Calhoun—Nullification explained. by Colonel Benjamin E. Green, of Dalton, Ga. During Mr. Buchanan's administration, before the slave-holding States proposed to withdraw peaceably, rather than wait to be expelled from the confederation, a State Disunion Convention met at Worcester, Massachusetts.

feature in the history of the highest official stations in the United States—not excepting that of President—that they have been graced by men, not only of exalted talent, but of very extensive learning, scholarship and literary acquirements and taste, manifested in writings that have become embodied in the history of the country. This may be said of Adams, father and son, each President of the United States; of Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, distinguished for their writings, and also of Buchanan and Tyler. The same is true of cabinet officers from Hamilton, of Washington's administration, down through many administrations, embracing such learned authors and men distinguished in literature and science as are rarely found connected with official station. Among them may be found Rodney, Gallatin, Wirt, Calhoun, Rush, Kendall, Woodbury, Poinsett, Paulding, Webster, Legare, Walker, Bancroft, Marcy. It is also a striking truth that each branch of our national Congress has been eleva
