CHAPTER V.

Never was craft in better battle trim
on deck. below, or aloft, than the Prisa-
teer. after Seawaif had got her rigging
stretched Conscious that he was ready
to meet any foe of his tonnage and weight
of metal, be boldly headed off from the
coast for the track of inward bound ves-
sells from England.
One morning soon after, be was at
breakfast in bis cabin, with the first off i.
Ger and the doctor-young Morley being
in charge on deck.
But each of them bounded from the ia /.
bic as they heard the shout "sa1 ho 7"
from the lookout, at the top gallant cross
trees.
"Where away, and what does she look
like - cried young Morley in reply.

ly, instantly giving the order to pour in
his whole broadside.
1t was done with terrible effect, for the
British had not anticipated resistance
from rebel whom they supposed to be
using his best efforts to escape, and were
huddled along the deck on the side next
the schooner, and were cut down in fear.
ful swaths. And as the sails were little
injured, the sloop- p-of-war shot ahead, so
that she was past the schooner before she
could return the broadside.
"Cut away the drags, spring to your
starboard battery-throw in -ehain-shot
as we'll as grape-and cut her sticks a.
way p cried Seawaif.
Then ordering the helm up, as the
schooner's headway increased, heveered
off athwart the stern of the sloop; and as
the guns came in range, delivered ra-
king fire, which not only swept her decks,
but cutting away her masts, crippled her
completely. ""f- a1a
He then hauled on wind, determined
to pepper until she should strike" and
not wishing to lose any men at close quar-
ters, if be could help it. But be had no
occasion to use his gnns any more; for,
suddenly, with shock, which shook the
sea and the air like an earthquake, the
ill-fated craft was seen to Ay in fragments
amid cloud of smoke, into the air.
Whether by accident or design, DO one
could tell, but, in some way, the powder
in her magazine had been ignited, and
she was blown to atoms
Prompted by hum anity, Captain Sea-
waif instantly ordered the helm up, and
steered for the spot where the sloop- Of
war had been, in hopes to save some sur
viving persons of her crew.
But not living soul could be seem
A few blackened spars and timbers only
met the eye.

and piteous grimace, as be looked in
the water.
"4 ou may have better luck another
time, DOCTOR" said Seawaif, as he gave
orders to trim sails and haul on wind
again; for the transports-having seen the
fate of their protector-were now crow
ding sail, and trying, like flock OF
frightened sheep, to make their escape
from an opponent which bad done such
fearful damage in SO short time. But
the schooner had no umbering cargo, ,aua

sion required.

Death of Distinguished Member Of the
Mississippi Press


We were startled on Saturday with the
unexpected intelligence of the death of Henry
q. Worthington, of Columbus, for the last
twenty five years connected with the Missis-
sippi press, and one of its ornaments. To say
this Of him is to say the least that can be ut
tered in his praise. He was man of gener-
Gus temper alive to every honorable sentiment
sensitive and heightened. To his friends he
gave all the affections of his warm heart; to
his foes he was magnanimous to fault, if to
this extent the noble attribute Of magnanim
ity can be carried. An enthusiastic partizan,
he never forgot the amenities of his profess
sion, nor sought to achieve political ends by
compromising its dignity nor descending to I'M
worthy means. His mind had been much
cultivated by reading, and the choicest flowers
of literature often adorned his political dsqui-
sitions. He comprehended the true mission
of the press, and left an example which may
well be initiated by its members. He has
passed off the busy stage of life but his
memory will be cherished long after the tene-
ment in which his generous soul was cased
shall have mouldered to its native dust.
A correspondent sends US the following
record of his career and tribute to his many
virtues
DIED, in Columbus, Miss, on Thursday,
the 18th inst, HENRY H. WoRTHINGToN edi-
tor, for the last twenty-five years, of the Co
Iumbus Democrat.
He was born in Brunswick county, Vir-
ginia, in the year 1906, and was one of the
first pupils Of the University of that State,
where he acquired eminent distinction for his
high attainments in mathematics and the Ian
guages.
He emigrated to the southern portion of
Alabama in 1892 and took charge ofLowndes-
boro' Academy, in Lowndes county of that
State, for several years, and then removed to
Columbus early in 1885, and commenced his
| editorial GREER.
! Born in the State, and early tutored at the
fayorite institution of Thomas Jefferson, he
ever entertained and ardently supported the
liberal views and opinions of that eminent
statesman and philosopher, and his able advo-
cacy of those principles has greatly assisted in
continuing their supremacy in this State, and
/ particularly in the county of his residence.
As a writer, his style exeelled in simplicity,
chastity and purity strongly resembling
| those of Addison and Steele. He sought to
convince the mind rather by the strength and
perspicacity Of his reasoning than to dazzle it
by brilliant metaphors. AS man, he was
open, frank and dignifed in his department,
warm in his feelings and ardent and sincere
in his friendships these high qualities won
him the esteem of all who knew him.
He leaves an extensive and numerous circle
of friends, who, with his disconsolate family,
will deeply deplore his untimely death, and
irreparable loss ANXIOUS.

A Good Move.

We learn from the Ripley Advertiser that
meeting of citizens Of Tppah county was
held few days since-Dr. N. w. Moody
Chairman and Daniel Hunt Secretary-to de-
wise measures Of protection against the inun-
daton of foreign and worthless or unsafe bank
paper. The Chairman cited the grievances
under which the community labors and ex-
planned the objects ofthe meeting, when Judge
Worsham offered the following resolutions,
which were passed unanimously -:
Resolved, That we think we see an impen-
ding evil about to befall the people of the coun-
try, resulting from the circulation Of worth
less paper currency Of other States.
Resolved That we use our influence to in
dues the farmers Of the country to take moth.
ing for their cotton but gold and silver, or such
paper Is is equivalent, redemable at Memphis.
Resolved, Thst in our opinion nothing Is
permanently relisble as currency, but gold
and silver, and the people ought IS speedily as
possible. to bring the currency to that stand
ard.
Sooner or later the people Of all the other
States must come to the positionof Mississippi
and adopt the only reliable currency. Ark
ansas and California present noticeable EXAM
pies Of the success Of the Hard Money system.
California never has had any paper currency.
All payments are made there in gold and ST.
ve- and her people are 50 well satisfied with
the existing policy that man would be
thought ct subject for the Lunatic Asylum
who would propose to abandon it for ficti-
tious paper currency with its false values and
