te engineers felt that it would be impossible for any force of vessels such as the Federals possessed to pass the forts and obstructions to Charleston. Owing to repeated practice at targets, the Confederate officers felt certain of planting two out of three of their heaviest shots on the Monitors' turrets at the rate of sixty shots a minute. The trial of the Monitors before Fort McAllister afforded no real test of their endurance, for there could be no comparison between such a work as McAllister and the defences of Charleston. The fire on the ironclads was such as an equal number of the heaviest European ships-of-war could not have withstood many minutes. The severity of the fire was shown by the effect on the Monitors and the sinking of one of their number, and yet the vessels retired from the conflict without confusion. That attack will always stand the severest criticism from those disposed to be hypercritical; and those capable of judging will admit that it was conducte

intercession of Stephen A. Douglas restoration to Cadet duty James B. McPherson John B. Hood Robert E. Lee. I was born in the town of Gerry, Chautauqua County, New York, September 29, 1831. My father was the Rev. James Schofield, who was then pastor of the Baptist Church in Sinclairville, and who was from 1843 to 1881 a home missionary engaged in organizing new churches, and building meeting-houses, in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri. My mother was Caroline McAllister, daughter of John McAllister of Gerry. We removed to Illinois in June, 1843, and, after a short stay in Bristol, my father made a new home for his family in Freeport, where he began his missionary work by founding the First Baptist Church of that place. In all my childhood and youth I had what I regard as the best possible opportunities for education, in excellent public schools where the rudiments of English were taught with great thoroughness, in a fair amount of all kinds of manly sports, and in hard work,

A Wanderer. --Yesterday morning, a man calling himself John McAllister, was arraigned before the Mayor to answer the charge of being drunk and asleep in the First Market. When found by the watchmen, he was coiled up on a pile of shavings, his hide filled with bad whiskey, and his eyes resembling burnt holes in a blanket. Mac said he was from Petersburg, and had been in the city but a few hours. In default of security, he was sent to prison.

Fort Kearney,Nov. 18.--The Pony Express from San Francisco 7th, arrived at 9.30 last night, bringing California dates via Fort Churchill, by telegraph, to 10 P. M. of the The Pony Express, with St. Louis dates of October 23d, arrived at San Francisco 5th. The reports that the Southern States are preparing to dissolve the Union on the election of Lincoln produces little effect. The argument in the Almaden quicksilver mines case has closed, and an impression prevailed that Judge McAllister will decide for the government and Judge Hoffman for the claimants, rendering an appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court necessary before the injunction can be dissolved. It is understood that Reverend Johnson, Senators Benjamin and Gwin, and Senators Baker and Nesmith, of Oregon, will leave on the 10th inst. The latest accounts from the silver mining region, east of the Sierra Nevada mountains, are encouraging. The Indians have returned to the neighborhood of Carson and Honey
