and fortitude to sustain and support his men, He
encouraged them in every way, but when he lost
boat after boat, until only two small boats were
left, which were insufficient in such heavy gale
to save themA he awaited with painful anxiety and
sohcitude the dawn of day, expecting every mo-
ment that they all would be submerged by the
waves and find watery grave; but when at the
break of day they perceived the little Confederate
steamer Albemarle bufeting the waves and strug-
gling,for life as it were in the attempt to reach
them,g his heart was cheered aud they
felt that there still some friends on
earth who manifested an interest In their welfare;
but all hope again vanished when he perceived
the imminent hazard and risk that she encoun-
tered; and he gave up all for lost, being well as
sured that she could not survive in so boisterous
aud heavy sea- And again, when she failed to
reach him in her first and second attempts, he be-
leVed all further attempts to do so would be vain
and fruitless he and his whole crew made up
their minds to meet their fate like men, and were
sadly and mournfully afflicted that such an awful
catastrophe might and ought to have been averted
by the human and timely aid of the Federal feet
which they most inhumanly refused to render
them. He says that they were greatly astonished,
and it sent thrill Of joy through the whole ship,
when the little Albemarle, which he perceived
fral boat, most gallantly and bravely made
third attempt to save them; and when she drop
ped her anchor apparently safely moored, and
sent their little boat to their aid, they all devouty
gave thanks to God for their safe deliyerance;
and that too much praise and grateful commenda-
tion cannot be awarded to the Confederate officers,
Col. Singletary and Captains Salyear and Sirmond
and their crews, for their brave and heroic efforts
it saving them all from an untimely death.
In rescuing the party mentioned above, the
Confederate steamer Wnslow was wrecked by
running on a sand bar.

DRIED PUMPKINs.-A distinguished physician
requests the editor of the Vicksburg Whig to say
there is nothing better for soldiers confined in
camp during the winter, when fruit and vegetables
cannot be had, than dried pumpkins. He says
that soaked in water until they softoned, and
stewed with molasses, they are not only whole
but very palatabe, and an excellent substitute
for fruits or vegetables They can be cut into
strips hung up and dried, with great facility,
when they can be packed in bags aud sent to the
army. They are plenty and cheap in this
section of country. --. -. ..-
