From tho Atlantic Monthly, for March.
TIIIO LAST CHI IS!? OF TlIU
io.ai roil.
An nclor in tlie scenes of tlic jvllvf liiglif
when tlic Mniiitur went ilown, cruvesi jier
mission lo relate the story of her lnit cruise.
Hctwork i.s now over. She lies a hun
(h'cd fathom!) deep under the stormy waters
oil' Cape lliittcrng. But the little eheese
box on a raft' ha3 made herst If a name
which will not soon be forgotten by tlic
American people.
Every child knows her early history, it
is one. of the thousand romances of the war
how, as our ships lay nn anchor in Hamp
ton Koads, and tho Army of the Potomac
coveted the Peninsula,' one shining March
day,
'Far away to the South ttproso
A little feather of snow-white ftnoko;
And we knew that the iron-ship of our foes
Was steudily motTing its course
To try the force
Of our ribs of oak.'
Iron coiifjuered oaks ; the balls from tho
Congress and Ctiiiilu'iliiiid rattled from the
tshliM ot the rebel ship like hail ; she passed
on resistless, and
Down went the Cumberland, nil n wreck.'
The Congress struck her Hag. and the band
of men on the Peninsula waited their turn,
for the iron monster belched out lire and
shell to both sea and land. Evening cut
short her work, and slio returned to Nor
folk, leaving tenor and confusion behind
her.
Tho morning saw her return : but now
between her expected prey, the Minnesota,
and herself, lay a low, black raft, to the
lookers-on from the Merrimac no more for
midable than the niasls of tho sunken Cum
berland, or the useless guns of the Congress,
near whose shattered hulks the Monitor kept
guard, the avenger of their loss.
As the haughty monster approached the
scene of her triumph, the shock of an unex
ampled cannonade cheeked her career.
That iitlle black turret poured out a lire so
tremendous, so continuous, that the jubi
lant crew of the. Merrimac faltered, surpri
sed, tu'rilicd. The revolving tower was n
marvel to them. Otic on hoard of her at the
time has since told me, that, though at lirst
entirely cunlidi nt of victory, consternation
finally took hold ot all.
'D n it !' said one, 'tho thing is full of
guns,'
An hour the contest raged, and then the
iron settles of the invincible began to crum
ble under the repeated blows thundered
from that strange revolving turret. A
slaughtering, destroying shot, sina-hing
through the port, a great seam battered in
the side, crippled and defeated, the Merri
mac turned prow and steamed away.
This was the end of Iter career, as really
as when, a lew weeks biter, early morning
j saw Iter wrapped in sudden Ilanie anil smoke
I and l ho people of Norfolk heard in their
j beds tlie report which was her death-knell,
fear ended for a time, and tlie Monitor
saw Utile service, until at Fort Darling she
dismounted every gun, save one, when all
her com fades failed to reach tlTu mark.
Then, a little worn by hard lighting, she
j w ent to Washington for some slight repairs,
but specially to have belter arrangements
made tor ventilation, as those on board
sull'ered from the outlined air during ac-
tion.
Tlie first of September a fresh alarm caine,
when she went down to Hampton Koads to
i meet the new Merriiiiae. said lo be coming
out, and stationed hoi-i ll' tit the mouth of
the Jaines Kiver, between the buried Con
' gross and Cumberland, whose masts sti'd
ruse above water, a monument of rebel otlt-
rage and I'liion heroism. Here she remained
. expectant for more than threw months, id!
'on board desiring action, but thinking the
now year must come in Li lore unythingcoulil
j be done.
I The hist week in December found her
; lying under the guns of Fortress Monroe,
' and busily lining for sea. Her own guns
had been t ut in perfect wotking order, and
shone like silver, one bearing the name of:
; Worden, the other that of Ericsson. Her
' engineer, Mr. ( ampin U, was in the act of
giving sumo linal lunches lo the machinery, !
when Ins leg was cuught Let ween the pis
ton rod and frame of one of the osi ilhtting
engines with such force as to bend the rod,
which was an inch and a (piattcr in tliame
i In- and about eight inches long, and break
' its cast iron frame, live eighths of an inch in
' thickness. The most remarkable, fact in
: this case is. Unit tiie limb, though jammed
and bruised, remained unbroken, our men
in this iron craft seeming themselves to be
iron.
The surgeon who examined the limb, as
tonished at the narrow escape, thought at
f Mint that it might by ein rgi tie treatment,
be cured in a few day; uud lis the engineer
:vho had been with the vessel from her
i launching, was extremely anxious to re
; main on board, he was disposed at first to
yield to his wishes, but afterwards, rellee
i ting that confined air and sea sit kness w oiild
I have a bad t lh-ct, concluded to tran-lVr him
to the hospital, the engineer remarking, as
I he was curried oil'. "N ell, thii may bu Pro
, vidi'iitial.'
It was Providential indeed !
His place was filled, uud the preparations
went on I rbUy ; the turret ami sight holes
were calked, and every possililu entrance for
wuler mu le secure ; only the Miial'.est open
ing hung hit in the turri t top, and the

ITottghs Morning like a full -sailed ship,
Tho Orient's cloudy surge
With spray of scarlet Dro, before
Tho ruffled gold that round her dies,
She sails above tho sleeping shore,
Acrosn the waving skies.'
During tho night we had passed Cn'pc
Henry, and now, at dawn, found ourselves
on the ocean the hind only a blue line in
the "distance. A few more hours and that
had vanished. No sails were visible, and
tho Passaic, which we had noticed tho eve
ning before, was now out of sight. The
morning and nftcrnnou passed quietly; we
spent most of our time on deck, on account
of the confined air below, and being on a
level with the sea, with tho spray dashing
over us occasionally, amused ourselves with
noting its shifting hues and forms, from the
deep green of the first long roll to the foam
crost and prismatic tints of tho failing w ave.
As the afternoon advanced, the freshen
ing wind, the thickening clouds, and the
increasing roll of the sea gave thoso most
accustomed to ordinary ship life sonic new
experience. The liitlo vessel plunged
through the rising waves, instead of riding
them, and ns they increased in violence, lay.
as it were, under their crests which washed
over her continually, so that, even when we
considered ourselves safe, the appearances
was that of u vessel sinking.
'i'd rather go to sen in a diving-bell !'
said one, ns the waves dashed over the pi
lot house, and the little craft seemed buried
in water.
'Give me an oyster fcow !' cried another
'anything! only let it be of wood, some
thing that will float over, instead of under
tlie water!'
Jstill site plunged on, and about six thirty
P. M. we made Cape Hatteras, in half tin
hour we had rounded the point, and manv
on board expressed regret that the Monitor
had not been before the Passaic in doing 1
so. Our spy glasses were in constant use ; i
we saw several vessels in the distance, and
about 8 o'clock, P. M.. discovered the Pas- !
saic four or live miles rmd-rn to the North of;
us, in tow of the steamer State of Georgia, j
A general hurrah went, up Hurrah fori
the first iron clad that ever rounded Capo
vei lOUII'U-U l. ,1 Hi I
Hatteras
Hurrah for the little boat that 1
is lirst in everything!' The distance be
tween ourselves and the Passaic widened,
and we gradually lost sight of her.
At about half past seven a heavy shower
fell, lasting about twenty minutes. At this
time the gale increased : black, and heavy
clouds covered the sky, though which the
moon gleamed fitfully, allow ing us to see in
the distance a long line of white, plunging
foam, rushing towards us sure indication
to a sailor's eye of a stormy time.
A gloom overhung everything; tlie banks
oft-loud seemed to settle around us ; the
moan of the ocean grew louder and more
fearful. Still our litilo beat pushed doggedly
on; victorious through all. we thought that
here too, she would conrUer though the
beating waves sent shudders through her
whole frame. Hearing still the marks (if one
of all the fiercest buttles of the war, we had
grown to think her invulnerable to any as
sult of man or clement, and as she brtasted
these huge waves, plunging through one
only to meet another more mighty, we
thought, ' iShe is staunch ! the w ill' weath
er it."
An hour passed; the nirbelow. which had
all day been increasing in closeness, was now
almost striding, but our men lost, no cour
age. Some sang as they worked, and the
cadence of the voices, mingling with tlie
roar of the waters, sounded like a defiance
to ocean.
Some stationed themselves on top of the
turret, and a general enthusiasm filled all i
breasts, ns huge waves, twenty feet high rose j
up on all side, hung suspended for a mo-j
ment like jaws even to devour and breaking I
gnashed over in foam from side to sidt
,, ,. . , , , .. . , ,
I hose l us new to sea had not anticipated
., . 1
our lieril. hurrahed lor tlie largest wave
but the Captain nnd one or two others, old I
sailors, knowing its power, grew momenlar- '
rily mure and more anxious; feeling, with j
a (b ead distinctive to the sailor, that, in ease j
of extremity, no w reck yet known to ocean :
could bo so hopeless as this. Solid iron j
from keelson to turret top. clinging to i
anything lor safety, if the Monitor should j
go down, would only insure a share in her !
tale. No mast, no spar, no floating thing, '
to meet the outstretched hand iu the hist '
moment. ' I
The sea, like the Old Woild giant, gath-J
cred force from each attack. Thick and ,
f tst came the blows on the iron mail of the
Monitor, and stil! the brave little vessel j
held her own, until, at half past eight, the !
engineer, Maters, iamnm lo me cnu re-
ported a leak. The pumps wero instantly ,
set in motion, and we watched her progress j
with an intense interest. She had seemed I
lo in like an old time knight in armor bat- j
lling ngaiust fearful odds, but still holding j
his ground. We who watched, when the !
blows came which made the
strong limn

pumps.
Front nine to ten it kept paco wilh them.
From ten to eleven the sea increased in vio
lence, the wave now dashing entirely the
turret, blinding tho eye and causing quick
ditchings of thebreath asthry swept against
us. Allen the engineer had reported the
leak as gaining on us; at half pnl ten, with
several pumps in constant motion, one of
which threw out three thousand gallons a
minute, tho water was rising rapidly, ami
Hearing the fires. When these wero reach
ed the vessel' doom w us nettled ; for with
tin Ir extinction the pump must cease, and
all hope of keeping the Monitor hUivu w ti
ter more than hour or two expire. Our
knight had received his death blow, and lay

to lower boats.ihough in that wild sea, it

they cut through by Instoy blows of the
hatchet, the immense rop which united the
vessels. Stodder rcttin d in safety, but
his brave companion w a- , yaslicd over and
went down.
The men wove fjuiet and controlled, but
all felt anxiety. Jluster's-Mato' Peter Vt'il

that in this way tho vessel might be kept
the longer' above water. A bailing party
was organized by John Stocking, boatswaiu,
who, brave man, at last went clown. Pay
master Keeler led the way, in compnny with
Stocking, Williams, and one or two others ;
ami though the water was waist deep, ami
knew the vesael was liable to go diw n at
any moment, they worked on nobly, throw
ing out a constant stream of water from the
turret.
Meanwhile the boat launched from the
Ivhode Island had started, manned by a crew
of picked men.
A more heroic impulse could not have ac
complished this most noble deed. For hours
they had watched the raging sea. Their
captain and they knew the danger ; every
man who entered that boat did it at the
peril of hjs life ; and yet all were ready.
Are not such acts as these convincing proof
of the divinity of human nature '.
We watched her with straining eyes, for
few thought she could live to reach us.
She neaivd ; wo were sure of her, thank

us. The launch sent for our relief w its now
between us and her too near for safety.
The steamer bore swiftly down, stern lirst,
upon our starboard quarter. 'Keep oft'!

was helpless. Even u.s we looked, the devo

and the iron clad a sharp sound of crush

There was no hasty scramble for life w hen
it was found she floated ; all held back'. The
men kept steadily on their work of bailing
only those leaving, and in the ordci nam
ed, whom the captain bade save ihem-elvts.
They descended from the turret to the deck
with mingled fear and Wpc, for the w aves
tore from side to side, and the coolest head
and bravest heart could not guarrantee safe

turret, and with vain clutch tit the iron
deck, a wild throwing tip of the arms, went

the ward-room's sides. One lingering look,
and lie left tho Monitor's cabin forever.
Time was precious ; ho hastened to the
deck, where, in the midst of a terrible sen,
Lieutenant Greene nobly held his post. Hi
seized the rope from tho whale-boat, wound
it about nn iron stanchion, and then around
his wrists, for days afterwards swollen and
useless from the strain. His black body
servant stood nenr him.
'Cnn you swim, William,' lie asked.
'No,' replied the mnn.
'Then keep by me and I'll save you.'
One by one, wntchiijg their time between
tho waves, tho men filled in, the captain
helping thepoor black to a place, and at last
after all effort for others and none for them
selves, Captain Hnnkhead and Lieutenant
Greene took their places in Ihe bout. Two
or three still remained, clinging to the tur
ret ; the captain begged them to come down
but pnrali.ed with fear they sat immovable,
and the gallant Urown, promising to return
for them, pushed olf and soon had his boat
load sale upon the Rhode Island's deck.
Here tlie heartiest and most tender recep
tion met us. Our drenched clothing was
replaced by warm and dry garments, and all
on board vied with each other in acts of
kindness.. The only one who had received
any injury, Surgeon Weeks, was carefully
attended to, the dislocated arm set, and the
crushed fingers amputated by the gentlest
and most considerate of surgeons, Dr. Web
ster, of tlie Rhode Island.
For an hour or more we watched from
the deck of the Hhode Island, the lonely
light on the. Monitor's turret ; a hundred
times we thought it gone forcverr-a hun
dred times it re-appeared, till at last about
2 o'clock on Wednesday morning, it aiik,
and we saw it no more.
We had looked, too, most anxiously, for
tlie life-boat which had last gone out. under
the command of Mastcr's-Mate Urown, but
saw no signs of it. We knew it had reached
the Monitor, but whether swamped by the
waves, or drawn in ns the Monitor went
down we could not tell. Captain Trenchard
would not leave the spot, but sailed around
looking in vain for the missing boat, till late
on Wednesday afternoon, when it would
have been given up as hopelessly lost, ex
cept for the captain's dependence m the
coolness and skill of its tried ollicer. Ho
thought it useless to search longer, but hop
ing it might have been picked up by some
coasting vessel, turned towards Fortress
Monroe.
Two days sail brought us to the fort,
whence we had started on Monday with so
many glowing hope, and, nlns! with sonic
who were never to return. The same kind-
lie
is met u hero as on the Rhode Island ;
loans ol money, clothing nnd other necessa
ries were offered us. li was almost well to
have nul'i'i-cd, so much beautiful feeling did
it bring out.
A day or two nt the fort, wailing for offi
cial permission to return to our homestind
we were on our way tho week seeming, as
we looked back upon it. like some wild
dream. One thing only appeared real ; our
little vessel was lost, and we, who in months
gone by had learned to love her, felt a
strange pang go through us as we lemi in
hered that never mo; e might wc tread her
dock or gather in her little cabin at evening.
We had left behind us, one more treasure
added to the priceless store which the
ocean jealously hides. The Cumberland and
Congress wcrt first ; the little boat that has
merged their loss has followed; in both
noble souls have gone down. Their names
are for history; and so long as we remain a
people, so long will the work of the Most
Tint be remembered, and her story told to
our children's children.

week or ten days. All the forms peculiar to
a fashionable wedding among tho eUlc of
Northern society have been gone through
with. Cards of invitation stating the time
the ceremony would take place, and tit what
hour the reception would commence, have
been distributed. The camp where the cere
mony was to be performed have been put in
a neat and tasfy condition; an lies of ever
green erected, and wreaths, rings and fes
toons of tho sumo material were made to
decorate the tents, and by taking some
do.eu large hospital tents and arranging
them in such a manner as to make one
mammoth enclosure, a large room was pro
vided, in which was spread the dining table
and which was afterwards used as a bull
room. This was also beautiful festooned
wilh evergreens, interspersed with number

I'liion.

A Tcnncsiifr Hero.
There are many names in Tennessee, and
particularly in tlie eastern portion of that
State, which the loyal people will not will
ingly let die. They will be. rend and though t
of in the far future as the present generation
look back at the demt-g'xls (if the l'evolu
tion. A letter fron Cincinnati, of recent
date, gives some account ot one of those
nobly-hearted Tcnnesscans, and as the story
camo from the lips of a dying man, it is
probably truthful. Tho writer states that
among the Kcbel prisoners at ('amp Defini
tion, Ohio, wna ono mimed Neil, who, when
asked how ho camo to be a Itebel, stated
that tlie Secessionists scared him into it.
He had been a postmaster in Van Ilui-en
county, Tennessee, and a Union mail. The
Kcbels held three elections in that county,
but got hardly a solitary vote in Neil's
prceincl. i'niitjred at thi,"tiiiry imported a.
force of soldiers nnd began to lynch un
armed Unionists. This stylo of procedure
made some converts, but it was withstood.
Among tho victims Neil spoke of nnd, ns
he knew that ho wns dying, he reminded
his hearers of his obligation to speak the
simple truth was the martyr patriot, whose
history lie thus recited :
There was in Van Hurcn county nn old
Methodist preacher of a great deal of ability,
named Cavendcr. Ho was from the first a
most determined Union man, and as his
influence in the country was great, they
determined to make an example of him ami
get him out of tlic way. So they took him
out of his house, put a rope around his
fieck, nnd setting him upon a horse, led him
into a forest. They then told him that un
less he would publicly renounce his Unionism
they would hung him. Cavendcr replied :
"(Sod gave me my breath to bear witness to
His truth, and when I must turn it to tho
work of lies and crini", it is well enough to
yicliKt up to Him who gave it-"
They then asked him if he had any part
ing request. He said ''he had no hope that
they would attend to anything he might
ask." They said tin y would. He then re
quested that they would take his body to
his daughter, with the request that sh
would lay it beside tho remains of his wife.
They then said, '"It's time to go to your
prayers." He replied, ''I'm not ono of the
sort who has to wait until a rope is round
his neck to pray.'' Then they said, "Come,
old man, no nonsense ; if you don't swear
to stand by the Confederacy, you'll have to
hang,"' at "the same lime tying the rope to a
branch.
The old man said, "Hang away.' Ono
then gave a blow with a will to the horse
upon which Cu vender sat; the horse spring
li rward, and the faithful servant of God
and his country passed info eternity. You
will remember that thev said they would
j fulfill his last request. Well, they tore the
flesh off his bones and threw it to the hogs ;
his heart was cut out and lay in a public
place till it rotted. Can it be wondered if
few are strong enough to resist their only
legitimate arguments for Rebellion." ScfU

Knsiim Poland has been tho scene of n
very iilariiiing outbreak, of which our for
eign journals give only brief and incomplete
reports. It seems however to have origin
ated in consequence of the Kussian military
conscription or draft. A general massacro
of all tho P.ussian troops iu the country was
planned for the night of the 2'Jd of January,
and in order to effect it attacks were every
where made upon the detachments of soldiers
separately cantoned. The Poles killed all
tho soldiers they found in the houses where
they were billeted. The telegraph wires in
tlie neighborhood of Warsaw were destroy
ed. Two thousand conscripts lately enroll
ed deserted, and assembled at different
points. Three (centres of insurrection wero
in this way formed by bauds, each about
one thousand strong; ono in tho direction
"f Minck, eight vorwt from Warsaw; tho
sewn! nt l'lenie, and the third at Pultusk.
One of these bands wasdispeised ; the others,
after having crossetl tlie Vistula, effected a
junction with troops of insurgents that had
been assembled in the forests of Nasfolck.
Combats had taken place in which a Russian
Colonel was wounded and a General killed,
nnd the. whole kingdom of Poland was
declared in a state of siege. The garrison
of Warsaw was increased to foity thousand
men, anil the latest dispatch from St. Peters
burg says "Warsaw is quiet." It was by no
means certain, notwithstanding, that any
decided impression had been niado on tho
insurrection.
front :lrkiiiias.
A Springfield (Mo.) despatch to tho Chi
cago Tribune says :
"Trustworthy advices from Arkansas, re
ceived here, represent that large bands of
Union men are resisting the conscription bill
and are protecting deserters from Hiiulmau's
army. Hecent arrivals in Kayetteville of
Union refugees confirm the statements pub
lished in the Little Hock papers, that Union
,bi -hawkers are annoying rebels in vuriotu
parts of the state.
"The Rebels concede that llindman's
cruelty has weakened their cause materi

entertained, we are sorry to say, by some
xv ho were not approvers of the rebellion, that
it would be impolitic to employ negroes in
the army, is fast giving way to t he evidences
of facts. In tho Department of the South,
as well as in that of tho Otilf, where they
have been extensively used in amilitary way
they have been found of the greatest scrvico

they fought w ith such energy as to be a full

There, is a peculiar fitness in employing
the African soldier at the South because of
his alledged constitutional ndaptcdncss to
