At the time the enemy were being rapidly driven to the river along our centre men on the Polk (steamer), and one scout. A lively skirmish yesterday.

army and a Baptist minister at home, a lover and defender of civil and religious liberty everywhere, preached us a very able discourse from the advice of Eli to Joshua: Be ye men of good courage. It was no war philippic, but an earnest, heartfelt, Christian discourse. A notice of a revival, in the Nashville Christian Gazette, says: Several volunteers were anxiously inquiring the way of life and salvation, and one or two of them embraced religion. A second notice: Several members of Captain Bankhead's company, Fifteenth Regiment, Alabama Volunteers, came out on the Lord's side. A third: Among the number converted were eight noble-hearted men who had volunteered to defend the liberties of their country. You may imagine the lovely scene which then transpired: fathers and mothers embracing their noble boys, exclaiming, with hearts all illumed by heavenly love, Now we can give you up better satisfied.

y should be worked against such terrible odds. But it was, and at last, about night-fall, the enemy was compelled to withdraw, with some of his boats for the time disabled. Rucker had the last shot at him, as he retired up the river. The battery mounted five guns. Only two of them were in a condition to be worked, at the close of the fight. Gen. McCown, under orders from Gen. Beauregard, left the Bend for Fort Pillow, on the night of the 17th of March, with six regiments of infantry, Bankhead's light battery, and a part of Stuart's, embarking at Tiptonville, and reaching the former place on the morning of the 18th. This movement was accomplished with such secrecy, that few, even of the officers remaining at the Bend, were aware of it until it was accomplished. On the afternoon of the 19th, Gen. McCown was ordered to send from Fort Pillow three regiments, to report to Gen. Bragg, leave the remainder at that post, and return himself and re-assume command at Island 10, which he

Rhode Island. Admiral Lee had left the time of departure at the discretion of Bankhead, the commander of the Monitor; and the latter chose a clear pleasant day, whenen o'clock it became evident that no efforts would avail to save the ship; and Bankhead made the signal of distress, cut the hawser, and ranged up under the lee of thell off into the trough of the sea, where she rolled sluggishly. Seeing this, Bankhead let go the anchor, which brought her head to wind. The greater part of the crmained on board, waiting for the boats to return. During these trying moments Bankhead set a bailing party at work, not in the hope of reducing the water, but to givapproached, keeping off with her oars from the side of the ironclad, and while Bankhead held the painter she took off the remnant of the crew,— all but a few poor fe who, dazed and terrified, could not be made to leave the turret. Last of all Bankhead jumped in, and the boat pulled toward the Rhode Island, and was got safely on

to work shoeing the horses of the command, until he was ordered to return to Fort Smith, keeping out scouting parties in front, at the river opposite Fort Gibson, and on both flanks. The enemy made no attempt to recross the river to the south bank during the stay of Cabell's brigade. Cooper's and Cabell's brigades were concentrated July 22d, 25 miles in rear of the battle ground, and by the 25th had been placed in position at Prairie Springs, 15 miles from Gibson, to await the arrival of Bankhead from Texas. But it was discovered that the powder sent the Confederates from Texas was worthless. A night's heavy dew would convert it, when exposed, to a paste. Moving to Honey Springs, Cabell's brigade remained a few days, then fell back to Soda Springs, and thence was ordered to old Camp Pike. The enemy was reported as crossing the Arkansas to attack Cabell, when Steele, with Cooper's command, joined him on the march to Camp Pike. There remaining a few days, a position was taken for

th Carolina. It was hoped that she would be able to force the passes of Fort Sumter. On the 29th of December she left Chesapeake Bay under the direction of Captain Bankhead, proceeding under steam, and towed, at the same time, by another vessel, the Rhode Island. As was to be expected at that season of the year, she found in deee 30th to start the large centrifugal pump with the aid of the steam-engine; but at half-past 10 o'clock, tile storm increasing, the water gained decidedly. Captain Bankhead made a signal of distress, and two launches came to take a portion of his people off. In order to avoid a fatal collision between the two vessels, the tow-cerly uncontrollable, was tossed about by the waves, and the launches were unable to approach the submerged hull, over which the sea was breaking as upon a rock. Bankhead bethought himself of casting anchor. This manoeuvre succeeded in putting the bow of the ship to windward, thus facilitating the work of saving the crew. There

of the Southern officers of the navy who have remained faithful to their allegiance, notwithstanding the vile examples of so many of their fellow citizens, and despite the urgent solicitations to resign with which many of them have been assailed from parents and brothers, and often wives and children. Many of the most brilliant naval exploits of the war have been performed by these officers. The country is familiar with the bravery and energy of Dupont, of Delaware; Steedman, Drayton, and Bankhead, of South Carolina; Fairfax, of Virginia; Spotts, of North Carolina; Braine, of Texas; Howell, of Tennessee; Stevens, of Florida; Porter of Louisiana; Price, of Kentucky; Russell, of Maryland; and many others from each of the States in rebellion. Undoubtedly Commander Marin will emulate the deeds of these gentlemen and retrieve the honor of his native Florida, do credit to the great Republic in whose service he is enlisted, and establish a lasting reputation for himself and the vessel he c
