The Captain of the Cumberland.
The Captain of the Cumberland, who fought his vessel till her decks went under water, firing as she went down, deserved a better fate than to serve Abraham Lincoln.
He deserved to be a Southerner, and to fight under the flag of freedom.
If, as we are informed, he was commander Smith, he was a native of Kentucky, a State which has furnished both belligerents in this war with many of the best fighting men. We rejoice to render tribute to a gallant adversary, and the manner in which he met his fate, showed that in the Captain of the Cumberland our own fearless Buchanan had a foeman worthy of his steel.

The Virginia.
The Federal Government will undoubtedly go to work at once to prepare a dozen vessels to offset the Virginia.
They have plenty of materials and men for the work, and it is not their habit to lie still under disasters, or, at one, two, or a dozen reverses, to give up all for lost.
Therefore, now is the time for the "iron monster," as the New York Herald calls the Virginia, to follow up her glorious victory and reap its magnificent fruits.
We observe that Lincoln has ordered an additional number of ships to Hampton Roads.
We hope the Virginia will sink or capture the whole par.
