s appearance; what news? is the first ejaculation. The abrupt reply is, the Somerset and Chambers are both taken! Taken where? is the question, for such an idea was extremely preposterous. They are taken by the rebels was the response. A report was in circulation that the capture has been made, and your vessel is chosen to proceed without delay to the scene of the disaster. Such was the message received. The blockading vessels Somerset and Chambers were stationed in the harbor of Appalachicola, within eight miles of the town, which was once so thriving and prosperous, but made gloomy enough by the fortunes of war. The first vessel mentioned is a steamer, and formerly a New York ferry boat; the latter a three-masted schooner, which, before the war, was engaged in the coasting-trade. After taking in a sufficient quantity of coal, and receiving the necessary orders, we once more started up the coast; as a matter of course, under the dircumstances, all sorts of rumors were aflo

and the Citadel military school at Charleston. On December 22, 1860, two days after the passage of the ordinance of secession, he joined the Marion artillery of Charleston, commanded by Capt. Gadsden King, and in January he was appointed first lieutenant in the First regiment of South Carolina regulars. He was on duty during the bombardment of Fort Sumter, at the battery from which the first shell was fired, and subsequently entered the Confederate States service, with assignment to Appalachicola, Fla., for the organizing and drilling of troops. Thence, in October, 1861, he was ordered to Cole's island, where he took command of a company of artillery, known as Stephen D. Lee's company. Early in 1862 this organization was consolidated with Winder's company as Company C, Lucas' battalion, with Captain Hayne in command. He participated in the capture of the Federal gunboat Isaac P. Smith, took part in the defense of Battery Wagner, and commanded Battery Pringle in the fight of July

n of the forts and arsenals within their limits as they went—some of them, indeed, before they had formally withdrawn from the Union. Governor Brown, of Georgia, set the example in prompt action by seizing Fort pulaski and garrisoning it with State troops before his State had adopted an ordinance of secession. Governor Moore, of Alabama, seized the arsenal at Mount Vernon, and Forts Morgan and Gaines, which commanded the approach to Mobile. The governor of Florida seized the arsenal at Apalachicola, and Fort Marion at St. Augustine. The governor of Louisiana took possession of Fort St. Philip and Fort Jackson, which commanded the entrance to the Mississippi river, and seized the arsenal at Baton Rouge. President Buchanan officially informed Congress of these things, and declared that the country was in the midst of a great revolution. In Missouri there were two arsenals—one at Liberty, in Clay county, on the western border of the State, and the other in the southern suburb of

turn with his troops, in anticipation of the battle of Olustee. After a march day and night of 575 miles with little rest, they were too late by twelve hours to take part in the battle. A frightful disaster which signalized the spring of 1863 in west Florida was the explosion of the boilers of the gunboat Chattahoochee. This vessel, carrying six guns, had been built for the protection of the river whose name she bore, and at the time of the accident was lying at anchor 25 miles above Apalachicola. On May 30th Commander John J. Guthrie was informed that nine Federal launches had come up the river and captured the schooner Fashion, loading with cotton, and he immediately ordered steam up to go to the assistance of the schooner. In a few moments the boilers of the gunboat exploded, sinking the vessel, killing 16 persons and severely scalding many others. Among those who lost their lives was Midshipman Mallory, who had distinguished himself by pushing his way first aboard the friga

he remained a member for three years. In the Seminole war of 1836-38 he was appointed senior captain of a regiment of mounted riflemen, and in the following year he was made major commanding. He served under General Scott in all the battles of the Mexican war, from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico, and for gallant conduct was brevetted lieutenant colonel and then colonel. While entering the city of Mexico at the head of his regiment he lost his left arm. After the war the citizens of Apalachicola, Fla., presented him with a sword. In 1849, during the gold fever in California, Colonel Loring was ordered to take his regiment across the continent and take command of the department of Oregon. On this occasion he marched his command a distance of 2,500 miles, taking with him a train of 600 mule teams. He held the command of the department of Oregon until 185. For five years he was in command on the frontier and fought many combats with the Indians, then by permission he visited Europe
