SIR: Yesterday afternoon, a few minutes be-
fore O'Clock, it was reported to me that q
battery on shore, in Lynn Haven Bay had
opened fire on the American ship John
Clarke, of Baltimore, which had come in
and anchored during the gale and had drag.
ged within range of the enemy's guns, dis.
tant about mile and half. l got under
way and stood down to her assistance, and
on getting within range opened fire, and spir-
tied engagement was kept up on both sides for
about forty minutes, when the enemy ceased
firing, their battery of four or five guns being
silenced, so that, although we remained with
in range for an hour and half after the firing
had ceased, and assisting the ship to get under
way, not shot was fired by them. Our shot
generally were well directed, and must have
done execution.
Fortunately none of their shots hit Us, but
they came quite near enough. The officers
and men were eager for the fray, and evinced
q spirited determination to do their whole duty.
and was well pleased, not only with their
conduct. but also with the precision of their
aim.

A TRUE MANA lady recently from
Richmond gives the following account of a
true old hero:
Col. Payne, United States Army, and for
many years friend of Gen. Scott, had ex~
cited reluctant admiration there on &C.
count of his persevering and immovable de-
termination not to desert the Stars and
Stripes. No brides, or threats, or batteries
could shake him he had the Napoleonic
temperament, "like block of marble, over
which the thunder shaft glided along leav-
ing no impression" Jefferson Davis, and
all the distinguished men of bis kingdom
visited the old man, and sought to reason
him out of his fealty, but in vain and even
a lady to whom be was once engaged was
commissioned to weep over him, but the old
mans heart replied, if his lips did not,
could not love thee, dear, so much,
Loved | not honor more.
Finally, the dog showed his teeth: prop
erty belonging to him to the amount of
$4,000 or so, was threatened. "Let it co."
said the aged soldier. At latest observa-
tions, this planet, overawing the night of
secession, was not in observation.

The New York Soldier Shot at Rich.
mOnd.

The telegraph, few days ago, mentions
ed the fact that one of the New York pris.
oners at Richmond had been shot for try
ing to escape. The Richmond Enquirer
gives the following particulars
A Yankee prisoner, named N. G. Buck,
member of the Seventy.ninth New York
Regiment, confined in the lower prison,
near Rockets, was shot and instantly kill
ed about one O'Clock on Saturday morning,
by one of the sentinels who kept watch
over the building. The latter observing
the Yankee to approach the window in a
suspicious manner, as if contemplating an
escape, ordered him away several times.
To these repeated commands, the prisoner
returned an insolent and defiant refusal,
and the sentinel finally leveled his musket
and fred. The ball struck the luckless
Lincolnite in the stomach, inficting ter
rib!e wound, which terminated his life in
very few moments. The sentinel has not
only been exonerated from all blame in the
matter, but has received the applause ofthe
proper military authorities for the prompt
and decisive conduct in carrying out his
instructions. The unfortunate Yankee was
buried during the evening in the burial
ground at the foot of Third street, set apart
for the interment of federals who may shut
fe off their mortal coil in this locality.

John j. Crittenden is private in the
ranks OF the Union army in Kentucky. This
simple announcement contains all that ina
gination can compass of dignity, of heroism,
and OF patriotism. The people know who
John j. Crittenden is. His devotion to his
country has been sneered at by some, re.
vered by Others but no loyal heart can
contemplate his venerable form 10 the ranks
as a soldier without exclaiming, " Here, in.
deed, is lover of the Union" When we
think what Mr.. Crittenden has been, we
need 20 words to express the grandeur of
what he is; but there is lesson in his DO
sition-such a lesson as Douglas taught by
his great career,-that peace men in peace
are apt to make the best war men in war
1t is lesson of which many men who have
assailed Mr.. Crittenden stand in need,
and would do wei! to initiate. He and
his fellow patriots-Holt, Guthrie and
others-have saved Kentucky to the Union,
that she might, when the time came, fight
for the Union. They have not, it is true,
made as much noise as many who have
misinterpreted their motives, and endeav-
ored to create an opinion against them in
the North. But Crittenden is in the field
as private. He lives as soldier. He
shoulders his musket. He sleeps on the
ground, and, old as he is, endures all the
hardships and dangers to which he has in>
vited other men. He desires Kentuckians
to fight. He therefore prepares to fight by
their side, asking no higher rank, no greater
pay, no less danger, than the humblest of
his fellow citizens. He cannot live long,
| for he is Old-old in devotion to his cOun-
try, as we'll as in years but he cheerfuly
gives the remnant of his life to the Republic
which has honored bis younger days, and
has.received his best affection.
Does not that venerable, gray-haired
figure, standing in the ranks as private
this ex Senator, shouldering musket with
his friends and reighbors- peer and
compatriot of Clay and Webster, con-
Meeting in the deepening twilight of his
declining years the present with the past, the
past with the future, the glories of the best
days that have been with the dangers of
this hour and the hopes of what may be yet
does he not, standing in this sublime at
titude, smite US with reprOach that we have
not, perhaps will not, unite for the sake OF
our country? Who can gaze upon that
cold man eloquent" of Kentucky, facing
the foes of the Union, without feeling how
mean, how wicked it is for any man, or set
of men, to attempt to urge partisan issues
into strife for nations existence? Who
can behold him without cursing alike the
extremists of North and South who have
precipitated the struggle upon US? Let the
present contemplate him, as all the future
will, as monument and example OF the
patriotic unity which will accept in this
war only one object, one duty-the preser-
walton ofathe Union under the constitution.

hneum.
Why did you not come up like men to
the support of the Government? Because
you desired to drag in party and gain
place. The whole country has despised you
and laughed you to scorn. The country,
after it has got government to sustain,
will begin to think about dividing into
parties concerning its administration. You
"peace " men might as well attempt to draw
out Leviathan with hook and pierce his
jaw with thorn, as to arrest the waves of

No one opposed the election of the pre-
sent Administration more vigorously than
l. But now it represents the country, and
stay it up with both hands. Party men
are trying to drive me away. When they
are through, 1 shall ask them how much
they have accomplished. l shall raise my
voice early and late in all times and places
wherever can get crowd to hear me and
1 shall fifty characterize this domestic re-
belion, this thing which crawls upon its
belly and eats dirt.
When the American people come to
speak notwithstanding the political preju-
dice which has pervaded the country, like
the frogs and lice of Egypt, coming into
the beds, and ovens, and kneading troughs
Notwithstanding this aood-tide of preju-
dice, it will be found that multitude
greater than man can number, think alike
have overcome their prejudice, and will
sweep away rebellion, and cover with shame
and confusion those who connive at it
Courage courage! Onward against rebel
lion is the word. Onward to strengthen the
hands of the Administration to put down
rebellion at home; to re-establish law anc
order.

The Fort Hatteras Prisoners,

From the New York Journal of Commerce.
Of the Fort Hatteras prisoners confn ed
on Governors Island, between thirty and
forty are row sick with typhoid fever and
measles. They receive good medical as
sistance, and humane and tender attentions
generally, and most of them are believed
to be convalescent. They miss, however,
those little delicacies, so gratifying to sick
persons, which the United States Govern
ment cannot be expected to supply, and
which must, therefore, come, il at all, from
the hand OF private charity. The effort re
Gently initiated by Mr.. Dusenbery, to help
these sick and suffering prisoners, meets
with gratifying success. Prompt and LID.
eral donations have been made to him,
even by those who hate treason and traitors
the most.
Some of the instances of generosity are
touching. One man, foreigner, very
poorly dressed, understanding that clothing
would be acceptable, brought his Sunday
suit " in carpet bag as gift. Another
man gave handsome present because he
had two sons in the Union army, and want
ed to do by the prisoners here as be would
have his boys done by if they were taken
captive. Some gifts came from natives of
North Carolina, or persons having family
connections there, but the large majority of
them are the offerings of people whose
sympathies are moved by compassion to-
wards conquered foe, and who also enter.
tain a hope that timely acts of kindness
may help to convert them into good Union
men. Citizens who share in these views,
and have tea, wine, ale, sugar, lemons,
barley, sago, arrow root, crackers, calico,
plain shirts and drawers to spare, can direct
them to "Sick Prisoners, Governors Island,
in care of VIM. Coke Dusenbery, No. l42,
Broadway" Surgeon Sloan will see that
they are judiciously distributed and used.
The rebel officers on the island have good
qarters and rations and are enabled, from
their private means, and the aid of friends,
to procure many luxuries and comforts not
set down in the regulation bill Of fare. Ne-
ther can the poor privates complain of their
food and lodging, nor of their treatment in
any respect. But they came, for the most
part, in ragged condition, which has
rapidly been getting worse ever since. OF
course, neither the Government nor private
citizens, can afford to buy winter clothes
for over 600 prisoners, when so many of
our Union soldiers are sorely needing new
uniforms. 1t is therefore gratifying to learn
that the State of North Carolina is about
to purchase substantial winter garments
tor her erring citizens now On Governors
Island. This arrangement has been brought
about by the earnest efforts of Col. w. f.
Martin IA prisoner.) There is no doubt
that Government will grant every facility
for the execution of this humane purpose.
