We End the ubove notice of a new elementarychool book in the Munsachtinett Teacher, a

monthly periodical published in Iioston. Thetitle is copied as it is given in that journal. Ithas either been printed wrong in the periodicalfrom which the notice is taken, or in the bookitself. It is a primer in the Hawaiian language,prepared in the etyle and with the same cuts asare in the Progressive Primer now in tiie in theschools here, the text having tx-e- n prepared byMr. J. Fuller, and the wirk published by thesumo publishers who irue the English primer re-

ferred to. We have not of course received aample of the book, but suppose that a supply of

them is now on the way out.We rejoice in every effort that is made by the

government to improve and facilitate the educa-

tional interests of this people. One great helptowards this 19 the preparation of attractiveschool books and one great want in our presentschool system, is the entire lack of them, in anage when other countries are enjoying them inabundance Education, at all times a difficulttask, is rendered in these days comparativelyeasy, by rtain of the improved methods of im-

parting instruction now in use. For instance,the illustrations in elementary books help to im-

part instruction to the youthful mind, which as

yet may ave no comprehension of the ideaswhich it iiast acquire, and which the old bookstook a mc4h longer time to impart.

But whe we are glad to witness these effortsto improv, the books used in our schools, wecannot atlrove of the plan of hating the print-ing done foreign countries, whenever the workcan be ex Jted just us well here. In all cases,(and per',ps the primer referred to with itschoice illa.etrations may be an exception) thiscannot lie Jjne, but where it can be, a preferenceshould be given to domestic industry. It maybe Baid, we are personally interested, and so weare ; but it is the same interest that favors thehome production of our own rice, sugar andwheat, in preference to sending funds abroadto obtain these products produced by foreign cap!

To-da- y the Legislature meets, and it is not im-

probable that some changes may bo proposedbefore this ldy regarding our public school sys-

tem. This system is not perfect, none ever was,and no amount of tinkering and changing canmake it perfect and though some improvementscan doubtless be effected it, yet it jrobablycomes as near the present wants of people asanything that can be prepared. What iswanted is, not a new system, b Jt a head tothe department one that will carry out the sys-

tem we have, whose influence will impart vigor.order system to our public Bchools, whowill take a personal interest in progresseach school throughout kingdom. This is

the great necessity now. Since of thePresident Hoard of Education, Rev.

It is well known that A. and his efficientassistant Mr. Fuller, had a plan of NormalSchools ready for introduction here similarto that which Las been introduced with suchwonand some of the European school systems, andwhich would undoubtedly give a great impetusto education here, and with like results in thecountries where it has been introduced. But thedeath of President of preventedthe of this system, since that eventnothing has hern done towards it.

The suggestion was thrown out not long since,by a correspondent in Polynesian, we believe,that His Excellency Prince Lot should appointed as the head of this department. Thatwould, no doubt, be an improvement overpresent. But the main point is, that an executive head is wanting, one capable of im- -

parting system to branch of oureducational interests, watching them as with afatherly care, that they may always be progress-

Most heartily do we sny to the above para-

The rematksseem to have been specially called out by a letter inthe Herald and .Mirror of the 4th of April, writtenby one Eddy, who is well known from his connectionwith Capt. Gibson the Mormon, and which consistsof little else than low gossip and falsehoods, if notof libels, written in a style which would do no credit

A letter also appears in late .Monitor (Catholiopaper,) of San Francisco, which endeavors to exhibitour Sovereign in an odious light abroad, as well asthe American Commissioner, and which appears tohave been written by some malicious,

person, whose only object is to vilify and abuse others,under the mask of an anonymous correspondent.We agree with our cotemporary, that if the San

Francisco papers wish to have special correspondentshere, they should take the pains to secure respectablemen, and not pick up straggling beach-comber-

whose only motive in writing is to gratify personalmalice, or abuse those whose hospitality they enjoy.

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

The Merrimac and Mositoe We publish onur tour th page most graphic account of the recent

naval engagement between these two vessels thefirst trial ever made with nrmored war vessels, (wecan hardly call them ships of war.) France and

j England have already constructed several huge steel--clad ships, costing $3,500,000 each ; but it is stillan open question whether two or three smaller vesselslike or little larger than the .Monitor, will not domore service than one such ship like the Gloire orJVairior. However, this is new field for naval

skill, and all that has been done so far may be re-

garded simply as experiments, excepting the factwhich this first sea fitfht between iron-plate- d vesselshas demonstrate., that no wooden ship-of-wa- r canever successfully cope with them. Take the largestwooden ship in any of the European navies, and the.Monitor ot .Merrimac siuk her in ten minutes,putting one of their heavy 800 pound shots or shellsthrough her hull, and seuding her to Davy Jones'locker," while her shots would only rattle like

on her antagonist's roof. This engagementwill result in entirely revolutionizing the navies of

the principal powers, subsituting iron clad for woodenvessels. The cost of the .Monitor is stated to be less

than 6500,000.While speaking of this fight, we may remark

that the arrival of the .Monitor was singularly provi-

dential, for had she not arrived, the .Merrimac wouldundoubtedly have cleared Hampton Roads of everyUnion ship, then quietly steaming round to Washing-tut- i,

shelled the city, driving the Pret-iden-t and Con-

gress out of the place, then proceeding to New York,shelled and destroyed that large and wealthy port.This is what she might have done, if the .Monitorhad not opportunely arrived and driven her back toher secure quarters at Norfolk.

The Prevalent Sickness. The sickness anddeaths among the natives continue fearfully frequent.One day last week there were nine deaths in oneneighborhood in Fort street; and scarcely daypasi-c- s without numerous deaths. The sicknessappears to begin with influenza or colds, followedwith fever. Those who are called to visit sick na-

tives, cannot but be pained with the sight of thediscomforts of their tenements. Many of their thatchhouses are so ragged and exposed to the elements,that the patient is hardly any better otf inside than

he left in the open air. And yet they appearto prefer these discomforts, followed by inevitabledeath, to the accomodations of the Hospital. Whenasked why they do not go there and be healed, theysay they are afraid to go. And so it probably is inm-n- cases. But cannot something more be done tostay this plague or to alleviate the sufferings andcheck the decrease of the native population y'

The Stort or Umi. In the last number cf theJCuokoa the publication of the History of Umi, one

of the celebrated ancient Kings of Hawaii, was com-

pleted. It was written by one of the most intelligentand capable of the natives, partly from printedaccounts and partly from original sources, and mayte studied foreigners, as affording to learners ofthe vernacular, some of the purest Hawaiian. Forthe beauty and purity of its language, and onaccount of the celebrity cf the King whose biogra-

phy is recorded, it will raDk as one of the finestHawaiian stories, and valuable addition to ourliterature. We shall at no distant day give thestory of Umi iu English, somewhat abbreviated per--haps. .

Lrscs NatiR A singular specimen of naturaldeformity was exhibited at Dr. Hillcbrand's drug-store on Sunday last. It was deformed pig, withthree eyes, two located in the usual places at thesides of the head, and the third directly in front onthe forehead. It had also eight legs, four ears, andtwo tails. The mother bad killed it, by biting it,having probably been disgusted with the iesu'.t ofher labors.

ZjT" The Legislature has been convoked by RoyalProclamation to meet iu this city to-da-y, and will beformally opened by an address, from His Majesty atthe Court House, at 10 A. M. Nearly all the rep-

To oca Scbktibebs. We have had occasion, much

; against our wishes, to cill attention to the ir-- !

regularities so Tery frequent in cur inter-islan- d

postal service. That screw bus been loose some-- j

where is evident. Last week, we had number c

copies of the Commercial Advertiser returned to us' from post-offic- e on Hawaii, which h id been properly

mailed to subscribers residing at Koloa, Kauai.Accompanying the parcel was letter from thepostmaster there, stating that these papers hadbeen received iu the last mail from Honolulu, andthat there was hardly ground to wonder that com-

plaints should be made by subscribers concerningtheir papers when sent such rouud.ibcut road totheir d?iint:on. Here were several copies of papers.iciih their addresses each clearly printed in Lirsze

type, directed to Kauai, but sent to Hawaii !?o faras we could see, it was case of the grossest andmost inexcusable negiigeuce; and as in duty bound.we bad to lay the matter before His Excellency theMinister of the Iuterior, for his csgtiiz mce and action.Following so soou after our having called public at-- Itention to mail irregularities, we could hardly credit

, the ficts. But the evidence is so clear that the fault' is solely in the Honolulu post-offic- e, that His Excel- -

lency promptly took steps to investigate the matter.and will no doubt take such action as may preventtheir repetition. We have already lost tico of our

'

subscribers on the other islands ou account of these' irregularities, and there are others who still wonderwhy their papers are from two to four weeks gettingfrom Honolulu to them. Our postal service is notwhat it ought to, considering the amount expendedfor it. Better to abolish it altogether, and return to

i the old mode of letting papers and letters reach theii--

destination as best they can, without the formality'of post-offic- The government might thus tcspared heavy bill of expense, and those who havecorrespondence to seud, cau look out for it themselves,

i and have no one to blame if it is not carried straight.I The complaints referred to are not confiued taour mail matter, but are shared the public gene-- ;rally. A letter sent from the Department of F'ublic

Habpku's Macazins. The March number of thsterling monthly is received, and fully maintains itsposition as the prince of magazine literature. Thefollowing commendatory notice of it, appeared recent-

ly in one cf the Philadelphia papers :

Harper's Magazine Readers and correspon-dents have often aked our opinion and advice upouthe suljoct of Magaziues What is the best FamilyMagazine? What the most attractive, readable,and useful ? What r.uswers the greatest variety ofpurposes, iutellectual, economic, ornamental, com-

bining solid interest and permanent value with thelargest diversity of elegance, humor, and illustration ?

and we have invariably answered, H RrKR."Inleed, Harper is the People's and the World's

supplying the greatest range of taste andreaders. Like our own great Republic, it gives thelargest jrood to the largest number at once a Nov-

elist, a Biographer. Poet. Artist, LHerateur, Trav-

eler, Engineer. Antiquarian. Naturalist, Journalist,Humorist, Modist, Historian, Essayist, Adviser aCyclopedia of loi versa! Learning and Amusementa Wonder of Cheapness and Worth. It may be newto some cf our readers to state that Harper has notan equal or a rival iu the World. It is the onlymagtziiie of a great kiud. and it answers the widestpopular demand, governing all i:s great variety witha pure literary taste and high moral tone. We do notknow what class of readers it could not be recom-mended with benefit. To those of cosmopolitan tastesit is always invaluable; and to the historical studeut,the patriot, the war reader, it is more than evernecessary as a strict and faithful chronicle of thetimes. We can cheerfully recommend Harper toeverybody everywhere.

So anxious was Mr. Sullivan to furnish uswith the account of the great battle, that the SanFrancisco weeklies were sent down with ouly one side

printed. They contained the full news, however.

2 The next news by the steamer J. T. If'right,will probably give us the details of McClellan's bat-ti- e

al Yorktown, Virginia, probably fought aboutApril C.

The back part is of a bright glossy tinge, lockingmuch like damaged pearl, but when the outer tl.ikesare taken off, the entire eye bejomes the color ofbright amber, which it is easily mistaken fr. Theseeyes are fouud at times loose iusido the skulls, and atother times on the ground of the cave or grave, hav-ing fallen out after becoming dried up. PanamaStar.

Hedelivered an eloquent eulogy on the illustrious PrinceCoiiM-rt- whom lie described as a man superior to bis j

A GLORIOUS UNION VICTORY !

The Hcbii Commander Sydney John-

son, Killed DrauregardLost an Arm.

By the clipper ship Syren, which arriveJ last eve-

ning, 14 uVijb from San Francisco, we have five l ijalater and very important news.

Fobt IIknrt, Ten.v, April 9th. One of the great-est buttles ol uiolern days, was fought at PittsburghL'tiliii. on the Tetinessee River, resulting in thecomplete rout of the Relx-ls- , who attacked us aboutdaylight on Sunday, the 6ih. The battle lusted, with-out intermission, during the entire day, nnd whs re-

newed again on Monday, and Continued until 4 I'.M ,when the enemy commenced to retre-it- and ar stillflying towards Corinth, pursued by a large fores ofour c valry.

The slauithter on both sides is immense. We havelost, in killed, wounded and missing, report Bays,from eightceu to twenty thousand men that tf theenemy is estimated at from thirty-fiv- e to fortythousand.

It is impts'ilile, at present, in the confused state ofaffairs, to uncertain any details.

TheR-bel- s at times exhibited groat Generalship.Even our heaviest and most destructive fire did notseem to discourage the solid columns.

The fire of Taylor's Chicago battery raked themdown by fo res, but the smoke no sootier was

than the breech was found to be filled up.At nlxiut & o'clock, nti Sunday morning the Rebels

had succeded in forcing our left wing so ns to occupytwo-third- s of the field, nnd were lighting t Lei r wayforward with a desperate degree of confidence intheir etTorts to drive our forces into the river ; at thesame time they heavily engaged our right.

At this time, and previous to the arrival of Buell'sdivisions, our force did not exceed 33,000 men. con-

tending against a force of G0.IMH) tebels Largenunilxrs of our men were panic struck, ani otderscompletely worn out.

The rebel Cor.imander-in-Chie- f, A. S. Johnson,was killed; and Beauregard had au arm nltot oil.The Federal Generals, S'lerman and Wsllace, ofIllinois, were killed; and General Prentiss vas takenprisoner by the renels.

The Hloodiest Hnttle of the Age.The battle of Piitburg Landing, Tenn . was the

most bloody ami the most hotly c ntested that everwas fought on this Continent. It resulted in a com-

plete and thorough Union victory, but happily Tor

the reputatiou of our arms and of the genuineness ofthe struggle we are engaged in, the enemy foughtdesperately, retrieving the character for bravery tbutthey Inst at Fort Donelson, at Roauoke Island andIsland Xn. 10. It was an open field hgh., more ofthe lbth Century order than anything that we havebad recorded in modern history. The iiQoibers ofmen engaged, and of the killed, are very probablyexaggerated ; yet as the reports come entirtly throughmilitary sources the telegraph report irg nothingthat military authorities have not autlioiizei! theymay le accepted as far less exaggerated than is uualwith first reports. At the Battle of Bull Run theforces were 83.000 (of whom but 1S.0-K- ) were en-

gaged) on the Union side, and 30,000 on the side ofthe Confederates. At this Pittsburg Lai. ding battlethe reports make the forces on our side during Sun-day 38,000, and on Monday, BuelPs reiatorceuientshaving arrived. SO.tMM) ; the Confederate forces musthave been nt least (10,000. So that the w'tole numberengaged vu M.mday was 140.01H)!

Previous to the great battle our latest news fromCorinth was to the evening of the 4th if April, onwhich d;iy 'JO, 000 infantry, with two pieses of artil-lery nnd a large body of cavalry, made a recon-nui-an- ce

in force toward the Tennessee river, Mum-bled upon Gen. Gram's army, and after firing oneround retiied with the lors of fifty risonurs andseveral dead Probably the object of that rvcou-nnisan- ce

was gained however. The ene ny no doubtdiscovered what they wished to kuow that Buell'snrmy had not arrived, and that if they were tomake any stand at or nhout Cu.'intli they mustei.uaze Grant nt once. They lost r.o time afterthey bad gained this information. At day break ofSunday, .Xpril Cth, (a week ytsterda,) the enemyadvanced upon Grant's left wing. In :he gray lightof the morning Gen. Prentiss mistook their advanceguard for their pickets, and charge! upon themThis brought on a general engagement, which ragedwith varying success throughout the day. The over-whelming numbers of the enemy were threatening by5 o'clock to force back our gallant imn into the riv-

er. They had driven back our left wiug, occupiedfu'dy two thirds of our camp, ami wire thunderingterribly on our right. But by an houi before d irkoor heaviest artillery was got in position and a can-nonade opened along our whole line, which with theshells of our two gunboats, checked their growingadvantage and brought them to a bait. By dark,the firing had nearly ceased, fur botli fiJta were ex-

hausted and nepded respite.Buell's 42,MX) arrived during the night. Monday

morning our forces re opened fire an I the advance ofthe right and left wings simultaneously commenced.The enemy fought worthy of Aui:ricans and, bytheir desperate valor re entitled t ieuiselves to therespect of the gallant Union soldiers who were boundto conquer them. Inch by inch t'ley disputed the6eld with our ever gaining troops. Once before 11A. M , they seemed likely to flan s our right, buttoon their left hud beeu turned, aid nor lut.g aftertheir right legan to waver. Then Geu. Grant, nt 5P. M , led ti v e regiments to the charge, from which,seeing the day hopelessly lost, the inetny turned aud

fled as from the avalanche." Tie latest dates areto the evening of Monday 7th, when the remnant ofthe rebel army was in lull retreat toward Corinth,with our cavalry upon their heels.

From Coriuth, if they can re-.- i ch there alive, theenemy m iy dash by railroad id to Memphis if Popeis not on the track before them but certainly downto either New Orleans or Mobile. There, perhaps,they may rally, nnd pushing b;ck to Jackson andthe line of the Vicksburg and M irion railroad, makeone more effort to resist the flod. When Bonapartere entered Paris, after his Ru isian campaign andhad to confess the loss of 125.000 slain, 132.000dead from exposure, cold and disease, and l'J3,000prisoners he began at once to raise, by conscriptionanother army. Possibly there enough of Bonapartein Beauregard to essay, by drafting, the gathering ofan army to replace that which Johnson led, beforeNew Orleans fails; but the men of the Southwestwill be littie likely now to secoid his ambitious ends.

at once aplfmlid bt-jo- description, and wellcalculated to fill ljal heart with patriotic in-

dignation. She continued to burn for hours,m:tnaevl by the whole ountry urotiivi. 'Jen.Wool made erery preparation in view of theprobability of a land attack, ei'her on Campilamiltoo or Camp Duller, at Newport News.The Minnesota waa still aground midway betwet-- n

rrangem."iiU were made, ltkewl-e-, in caw theMemmae or any of the rebel boat vhould pay usa tiit or attempt t go out during the nigh:, toji them a proper reception. Iuring the day,while the bloody scenes on the Cumberland andCongrtss were in program, th rayr of allheart was that the Monitor (the Ericsson, rather,as eTcrjbody perits in calling her the onlyname ineligible here,) would come. As if inanswer to that prayer, in company with theCurrituck and Sarkem, ahout H4 o'clock, heentered the Roads, with a modesty little denotingthe terrible thing she really was. The Kitixfac-tio- n

with which her arrival was hailed may beimagined. The otlj regret was that she did notcome 12 hours sooner. Preparation wto imme-diately made for placing bcr in condition for theterrible contest which, untried, and an experi-ment as she was, she would hare to engage inwithin the next few hours. At about ij themagazine of the Congress, whose flatn.-- s illuminedthe Roads and Bay, blew up. The concussionshook the earth like an earthquake. The glarefor an instant made the night almost as light asday. The gloom that followed seemed an appro-priate closing scene to the work of carnage,beyond unsuccessful efforts to release the Minne-sota by a number of tugs, nothing else of mo-ment occurred daring the night.

THE MONITOR AND THE HEEBUIAC.

At early dawn this morning, the Merrimac,Jamestown, Yorktown, and a number of otherrebel craft were seen drawn up off Se wall'sPoint, apparently waiting for the haze and smoketo lift before resuming the content. The Muni-to- r

had taken her station to the left and in advanceof the Minnrs-Ua- , and our gunboat were in theneighborhood of the frigate. Shortly after 8o'clock the Merrimac began to more up towardsthe Minnesota, about three miles distant. Herpath lay across the bows of the Monitor, whosepresence or real character it is probable she wasnot then aware of. When within ahout a mile,the ball was opened by the Monitor firing a shot,which struck the side of the iron-hid- ed monster,the Merrimac at the same time slackening herspeed. Her intention evidently was to makedirectly for the Minnesota, and serve her as shehad served the Cumberland and Congress. Rutsuddenly she found a lion in ber path. The firingwas kept up for some time at the distance of aboutone mile, when the Monitor began to move to-

wards her antagonist, delivering her fire deliber-ately and with precision. The Merrimac Eixtimes her size, and with an armament equallyoat of proportion, awaited her at rest. At a dis-tance of a quarter of a mile or less, both openedtheir terrible batteries the Merrimac firing muchthe oftenest of course. It was the first trial of anexperiment in a fearful ordeal. The scene waswitnessed by those who crowded the rampartsand lined the docks with almost breathlessinterest. It would not have disappointed manyat that moment had it become arurent that theonpretendiog Monitor was unequal to the con-test. By this time the two iron-cla- d combatantsseemed to touch, fighting at close quarters, deliv-ering their shots seemingly into the muzzles ofeach other's guns. Rut so far from being unequalto her adversary, the Monitor moved around her,planting her shots where she would. The contestwas m hot that for a time the smoke obscuredboth the Monitor and ti.9 Merrimac. As ifrealizing that she bad found at least her matchif not her superior, the Merrimac drew off towardCraney Island, the Monitor pursuing, plantingher shot with the same deliberation which hadcharacterized her movements from the outxet.After keeping up the pursuit for half an hour,the Monitor returned towards the Minneiuta. Ishould have mentioned that shortly after thisengagement commenced, one of the rebt-- gun-bout- s,

apparently , the Yorktown, steamed out,ami boldly engaged the Monitor. A int throughher which must have done serious injury, senther back again, and she did not venture withinranjre of the guns of the new-com- er during theday.

As if having rested from the first round andrecov?ed from the bewilderment resulting fromfinding such a terrible antagonist in so small aone. the Merrimac returned to the content, and,as before, was met fearleely by the Monitor.The Merrimac Turing now within rang of theMinnesota, delivered several of her thunder-broadaido- s,

and showers of solid wentcrasLing against the side of the iron monster.The gunboat aLo went into the fight gallantly.Thou eh the Monitor again sought close quarters,the Merrimac, having already had a tate of thatsort of thing, kept at a prudent distance. Formore than an hour the battle was kept up with-out either side showing damage, when, at about11 A. 31., the Monitor retired beyond the Min-neso- ta

to allow her guns to cool. The contcetnow raged between the Merrimac and Minnesotaand the gunboats. The terrible broadsides of thefrigate, cliained to the bottom, as it were, shookthe earth, and the solid shot glanced in everydirection from the side of the Merrimac.

Having given her guns an hour to cool, theMonitor returned to the contest, and the Merri-mac was apparently ready for her. for she didnot retreat but stood her ground. Nothing couldexceed the accuracy of the firing on both sides.After keeping up the contest for half an hour ata range of half or three-quarte- rs of a mile, theMonitor began to advance on her antagonist,who waited ber with apparent confidence. De-livering her fire with deliberation and unerringprecision the Monitor went straight ahead andat full speed for the Merrimac, till the men onboth boats, if they had not been hidden by theiron covering might have engaged in a hand-to-han- d

Cght. Now followed one of the roost re-

markable and exciting scenes ever witnessed innaval warfare. The vessels touched, and deliver-ing their broadsides simultaneously, the shotcrashed upon the sides of both, either glancingoff and falling into the water, or crumbling intoatoms. As if determined that the comlat shouldhave an end, the Monitor moved round the Mrr-rimac at a distance of only a few yards, plungingher shots into her sides. With well-direct- ed aimshe planted one into her hull below her ironcoating, and below her water line. Three gap-ing holes now appeared in her iron coating.Passing deliberately round the stern of the Mtr-rima- c,

the Monitor aimed a shot at her screw,and several others at vital points. The Merrimacnow began to move off toward the cove flankingCraney Island, and as it became apparent thatshe was disabled cheers went up from the ram-parts and the shore. The Mnitnr did notpursue, probably on account of the heating ofher guns, or some other

.equally . gxxl reason.

v t r i a a ' i i At.tiler lying lor a snort nine near im: euore meMerrimac slowly rounded out, and turned herprow toward the place she was seen in the morn-ing, where the other rebel boats were aswmbledspectators of the fight. They gathered aroundher like tho backers of a whipied bully. Atthis time it was the general opinion of thoe whohad the best means for observing that the Merri-mac had sank at least two feet, end that she wasfast going down. Her deck was thronged withher crew. She gave no sign of steam or smoke,small boats pat off from her, and tug boats cameto her side as if to render assistance. As soon asarrangements coald be made for doing s, theboats took her in tow, and about three-quarte- rs

past 12, the Merrimac, the Yorktown, the Jamcs-to-.- jn

and the other rebel craft, either towing orpulling the former, might be seen, constitutinga mournful procession, as they passed into thedim distance under Craney Island. Thus ended

i robally the most remarkable naval engagementon record ; certainly the first between two iron-clad antagonists.

THE LOSS or LIFE REMAKES OS THE FIGHT.

The timely apppearance of the Monitor wasthe salvation'of the Minnesota, and probably mostof the shipping in the roads, and jierhaps otherrrorertv beside. Had she come a day sooner,she would have saved two of the noblest frigatesin the service and hundred of lives.

The loss of life it is impossible to give. Onthe Cumberland it is believed to be about 150 ;none of the officers were lost. On the Congress,Cupt. Smith, it is probably about the tame. I.t.Jooeph Smith was killed by a phot striking hishead. The Cuiultrrland never struck her colors,and fired a broadtiJ; as she went down. Thosewho rcajd wam ahore or were rescued insmall boats. The officers of the Congn-- s onlywere retained as prisoners, the crew being allow-ed to go ashore. Com tuny I. f the I'nionCoast ftuard Capt. Mclntyre and Lieut. F.ldc-- r

were a fart of the crew on the Congress..Vout 30 of the SO men comprising the com-

pany have been accounted for. I understandthat Capt. I. and Leiut. K, are prisoners, liolhI'rigites were fighting gallantly, and I hear iti;-ci- al

praise awarded to the officer of the Cumber-land. Capt Norris and Lieut. Sclfridge. Cupt.Radford, of the Cumberland, was at the Fortresson uncial du'y at the time the action commenced,and though he took the quicket-- t conveyance, hedid nt-- t reach New tort News till it w:m all over.

The loss on the Minnesota is 3 killed and 15Wounded, the Wounded leing but slightly hurt.On the Whitehall 3 were killed. Dur.ng the ac-

tion to-da- y, the iug Dragon received a shot in herboiler and bluw up killing 2 men. Tlo Monitorlost none as I am at present advicd ; neither didshe sustain any material injury; she is a completesuccess. Lieut. Worden is deserting of the high-est praise for the truly heroic maimer in whicht.e fought his new and novel ship. He has ren-dered a service to the country, which no sum indollars can rif-ay- . The Minnesota, Capt. VanRrunt, sustained her high character ; she willst.on be rescued from her present position andlive to honor the cat'se of the Union. It is saidthat a tug carrying ammunition to the Merrimacwas sunk early during the day.

Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Fox, came bythe Raltiiuore boat this morning and witnessedthe battle. It wis his intention to order theMonitor away from here to another field. I be-

lieve he has concluded not to do so. especially asthere is no certainty how soon the Meirimac willbe repaired and ay us another visit. This is farmore doubtful than was the present visit of theMerrimac. Three weeks ago (cn. Wool receivedstrictly trustworthy information that she wouldson come out. This intelligence was sent Fciallyto the War and Navy departments, together withevery particular concerning her, at the same timegiving the Secretaries to understand that as wewere situated we would be at her mercy. TheMonitor came a day or two later, followed by theacting Secretary ol the navy, to order her away.Right months the rebels have been preparing,building batteries and putting iron clothing onthe Merrimac. We have Been one result of in-

difference. Shall we see others?

II ETHER INCIDENTS OF THE ENGAGEMENT.

Eye-witnes- of this most extraordinary navalengagement on record, say :

At o'clock on Sunday morning the Merri-mac accompanied by the Jamestown and York-tow- n,

and eteamtugs came in sight, headed forthe Minnesota. A shot from the Monitor, whichsteamed up to meet the Merrimac, surprised herand she seemed to start back as if finding an un-welcome assailant.

From half past eight till ten minutes past twelvethe battle raged the Pig's Point and Scwall'sPoint batteries joined the rebel fleet in the assaulton the Monitor and Minnesota, which was agist-ed by the gunboat Whitehall, once a ferry-boa- t,

and one or two other vessels.The interest of the contest centered in the strug-

gle between the two iron-cla- d vessels, us the reb-el wooden boats kept their distance, and onlymanifested themselves by an occasional shell, andthe Minasota's broadsides glanced off harmlesslyfrom the Merrimac s mailed planks.

The Monitor for nearly tour hours steamedround and round the Merrimac, sometimes at adistance of half a mile, sometimes touching her,constantly hammering her with immense shot fromher two guns. The effort was to hit her stern,which was believed to be the heel of this Achil-les ; but the Merrimac, aware of this, kept turn-ing, also trying to strike the Monitor with heibeak.

Once only the Monitor get into position behindthe Merrimac, but unfortunately, the currentdidn't stop rotating at the right moment, andthe shot missed their work. In the course of thefight the Monitor discharged from 0 to 'JO shotsand the Merrimac, flying, as some officers think,a black flag, some 200. At length the Merrimacretired witti her consort.

Her stern seemed to observers to sink lower inthe water than when she came out. She wastowed off by the tugs, and some say that her crewor a portion of them were seen uon her roof, asif afraid she would go down. Lieut. Worden,commander of the Monitor, is sure that he putthree shots through her, and the general opinionat Fortress Monroe is that she was disabled, butAssistant Secretary of the Navy Fox, who was onthe ground, thinks otherwise.

The Monitor was entirely unharmed. Not aman was killed, and the only one injured wasLieut. Worden, whose face and eyes sufferedtwice from the flame and iron particles fromshells bursting outside, which penetrated througha small aperture into the pilot-hou- se throughwhich he was directing the fight.

The crew and gunners felt thoroughly safe, somuch so that a quartermaster came ou deek toinquire where the fight was going on. He washard of hearing, and could not n.ake it out below.An English naval officer who saw the fight saysthat no vessel in the Rritish navy could withstandthe Monitor. It is believed that our loss bothdays is not far from oOO, including the missing.

Washington correspondence of March lothsays :

Lieut. Worden, who, still suffering from hiswounds, is in town staying at the house of Lieut.Henry A. Wise of the Ordnance Rurcau of theNavy Department, with whom he came up thismorning. On his arrival in Raltimore, Oen. Dixsent on an ambulance to take him to the cars ;and Mr. Smith, Agent of Transportation, furn-ished a special car to take him to Washington.The President visited him to-d- ay and expressedthe warmest sympathy with his" sufferings, andadmiration of his bravery and skill. He willbe promoted, as he richly deserves to be. Theservices of Assistant Secretary Fox and Lieut.Wise, who arrived at old Point on Saturdaynight, were invaluable.

Miscellaneous Incidents in the Late NavalUattle.

The Merrimac evidently came out in the morn-in- g

without the expectation of meeting anyobstacle more than on the preceding day, ami nodoubt the presence of the Monitor, when it struckher view, wa sudden and wholly unexpected.

The Monitor wus handled with utuurj4tedskill, decision and coolnet, for which all praiseshould be given her officers. ihe ha.coiue up tothe expectations that were formed of her, and hasproved herself impregnable to the heakt thotat cluce quarter?.

Lieut. Wordt-n- , Mho handled the Monitor eoskillfully, id in Washington, in the hands of asurgeon, lie was in the pilot house of the Mon-itor when the Merrimac directed a whole broad-bid- e

at it, and received his injuries from theminute fragments of powder which were driventhrough the lookout hole. Lieut. Worden wasstunned by the concuion, and was carriedaway. On reeoverintj he arked, " Have 1 savedthe Minnesota?" The reply was, "Yes, andwhipped the Merrimac." To this he answered," Then 1 don't care what of me." Theinjuries of Lieut. Worden are not 6upjo(?ed to bedangerou".

On examining the Monitor after the engagement,though bhell after ehell had exploded on herdecks and solid shot btruck the twcr. vet noperceptiblj damage had been done to the vessel,nor injury to the crew, with the exception alreadymentioned. One of the crew of the Monitor wasa.-k-ed how the boys felt during the engagement.He replied, "Oh first rate ; the shot and bhelliroin the Merrimac. sounded like hailstones onour detks."

Captain Van Brunt and the crew of the Min-nesota deserve great praise for their noble con-duct in the two days engagements.

The gunboat Whitehall, Capt W. Daul-i- n,

artic-ijute- in both engagements, and fired 200'arrott er shells. The I'ar-ro- tt

guns did great execution on the Jamestown,until a shell Iroiu the latter struck the trunion,the cap square of one of the guns making adent ot about one-quart- er of an inch ; but

to relate, not a man was hurt by the burst-ing of the shell. The Whitehall is completelyriddled. On the doors and bulwarks brains andblood, bones and hair are scattered around. Thecrew of the Whitehall behaved most admirably,and every shot from the enemy was hailed witha cheer and the fire returned. Captain Baulsinsays he cannot sjieak to high in the praise of theMonitor, lie asserts the Merrimac will nevercome out again as long as the Monitor is in thisharbor.

On the first day the gunboat Dragon, with her32 pound 1 'arrott gun l'or'ard, silenced the rebelsteamer Yorktown, compelling the rebels tohaul her off in a leaking condition.

The U. IS. gunboat Zouave (one gun) was inthe first of tlie engagement on Saturday, andcontinued actively employed against the Merri-mac until the latter retreated on Sunday noon.She received three shots from the rebels one ofthem carried away her stern post and one of thofans of her ropeller. The Zouave in the engage-ment off ewKrt News towed the frigate Con-gress ashore, in order that she might not fall aprize to the rebels. In this perilious duty beingwithin easy range of the Merrimac, she was tlierecipient of a heavy fire from the latter vessel.

The naval storehulk Brandywine has beentowed from the Point to Baltimore, as a measureof safety in case the Merrimac should appearagain.

A French steam-vess- el in port had steam upduring the battle, with anchor hove short, readyto leave at a moment's notice.

The frigate Minnesota was floated off this even-ing, and i now at anchor off the Hip Raps. She isnot so extensively damaged as was at first sup-posed. She will require to be taken into drydock.
