150.-a Naval engagement.
August 1, 1861.
From a gentleman of the highest respectability — who was an eye-witness of the fight — we have the particulars of an engagement which occurred on last Friday at Horn Island Pass, between a Federal steam-frigate, supposed to be the Niagara, and the little Confederate privateer, J. O. Nixon.
The Nixon, wishing to avail herself of the fair wind, left Pascagoula Bay last Friday morning, intending to go Yankee hunting on the deep blue sea. When about twelve miles from Horn Island Pass, she discovered a large Federal steamer ahead, attempting to cut her off.

our men are marching on. by George W. Bungay. The day our fathers waited for is dawning on us now; I see the mantle falling on the prophet at the plough; I hear the trumpet ringing where the victors strike he blow-- Our men are marching on. Niagara shouts the chorus of the rivers to the sea; Each wave swells like the bosom that is panting to be free; The stars are lit in heaven for the nation's jubilee-- Our men are marching on. Sweet promises are written on the soft leaves of the flowers; The birds of spring are jubilant within their leafy towers; A rainbow has been woven in the shuttle of the showers-- Our men are marching on. God bless our gallant President, and grant him length of days; Let all the people crown him with fame's unfading lays, And generations yet unborn perpetuate his praise-- Our men are marching on.
