iring, and Lieutenant John L. Worden, then in command, as he listened intently, estimated the distance to be full twenty miles and correctly guessed that it was the Merrimac in conflict with the Federal fleet. While she steamed ahead the Monitor was made ready for action, although such preparations were of the simplest character. Before long the flames and smoke from the burning Congress could be easily distinguished. At 9 P. M. the Monitor was alongside the Roanoke, whose commander, Captain Marston, suggested that she should go at once to the assistance of the Minnesota, which was still aground. It was midnight before Lieutenant S. Dana Greene, sent by Worden, reached the Minnesota and reported to Captain Van Brunt. While the two officers were talking there came a succession of loud reports, and the Congress blew up, as if warning her sisters of the fleet of the fate in store for them. There was little sleep for anyone that night. At seven o'clock in the morning the crew wer

on. Friday dawned with alternate cloud and sunshine. General Butler's staff were early in the saddle, and galloped to the position of yesterday on the left of the pike. The disposition of the troops was at once made and the force put in motion. General Gillmore was to move from the left to the railroad at Chester Junction, thence up the road to turn their flank. General Gibbon's forces occupied the line between General Smith's left and General Ames' right, and to add to the force General Marston's brigade was ordered to cross Kettle run and Proctor's creek, and advance up the line of the railroad. General Turner had also been withdrawn from the right, as the bend in the river narrowed the line, and was transferred to the left of General Brooks' division. A portion of General Gillmore's command made a detour to the left of the railroad, in order to flank the enemy's position, while another portion moved directly up the line of the railroad to feign a direct attack.

y had been collected in Hampton Roads, off Fortress Monroe. The fleet consisted of the Cumberland, of 24 guns; the Congress, 50 guns; the St. Lawrence, 50 guns; the steam-frigates Minnesota and Roanoke, 40 guns; and was under the command of Captain Marston, of the Roanoke. The Cumberland and the Congress lay off Newport News, about three hundred yards from the shore; the Congress about two hundred yards south of the Cumberland; whilst the remainder of the fleet were anchored off Fortress Monrved fatal. About eleven o'clock in the morning of the 8th of March the Virginia cast loose from her moorings at the Gosport navy yard, and made her way down Hampton Roads. On her approach being signalled, orders were immediately issued by Capt. Marston of the Roanoke for his own vessel, the Minnesota, and the St. Lawrence to get under weigh. The Cumberland and Congress had previously perceived the great Secesh curiosity, and had beat to quarters, and prepared for action. The Virginia came

time on Sunday at Plymouth. They have a sort of come-outer society there, partially Buddhist, you would perhaps think, who are having a series of meetings on Sundays, at which different persons officiate, sometimes clerical, sometimes lay. They meet at Leyden Hall (a good Pilgrim Association) and have for their motto old John Robinson's saying to the Mayflower-ites, More light yet is to break forth. By the public they are termed five-cent meetings (that being the admission-fee); sometimes Marston's meetings, from Marston Watson, who got them up and who takes care of the preachers, and who is the best part of Plymouth. He . . . was classmate and crony of Sam Longfellow; and is certainly the finest specimen I have met of the combination of practical and ideal. Ever since he left college he has been a gardener, has a farm in a pretty valley about a mile from the town, a picturesque cottage of Sam L.'s designing, farm, garden, two greenhouses, a pretty little bright Plymouth wife, and

O brother! if thine eye can see, Tell how and when the end shall be, What hope remains for thee and me. “ Then Freedom sternly said: “I shun No strife nor pang beneath the sun, When human rights are staked and won. I knelt with Ziska's hunted flock, I watched in Toussaint's cell of rock, I walked with Sidney to the block. The moor of Marston felt my tread, Through Jersey snows the march I led, My voice Magenta's charges sped. But now, through weary day and night, I watch a vague and aimless fight For leave to strike one blow aright. On either side my foe they own: One guards through love his ghastly throne, And one through fear to reverence grown. Why wait we longer, mocked, betrayed, By open foes, or those afraid To speed thy coming through my aid? Why watch to see who win or fall? I shake the dust against them all, I lea
