an hoard the steamer Richmond, which took

pl odng raised the ship out of the water and
made her staggcr like adrunkcn man. Another
shell burst six feet below water line, causing a
bad Icali, but the steam pumps kept the YES

said by the enemy, when the ncXt morning we
moved out OF his range.
The irgac Niagara still kept at them, but
being outside the bar she cannot do much
damage.
Fort Pickens had, up to date, lost but one
man killed and seven wounded.
Fort McRca is much damaged but wc can
not destroy it with our smooth bore guns, as
they are no match for the enemy's rifle cannon.

The CrittcnGen Resolutions.

Five months ago the Lower House Of Congress
unanimously passed the Crittenden Resolutions,
which affirmed that the war was not wagcd for
conquest, or any spirit of resentment or revenge,
that no attacks should he made on the rights of
any State, that the only object was the prcsrvn
ton of the Union, These resolutions were the
principal plank in the platform adopted by the Re-
publican alias Uuon Convention Of Ohio, and to
this they owe their success in the recent election
Soon after the assembling Of the present session
of Congress the resolutions were again offer d by
Mr.. Holman, of Ind, and they were voted down,
Seventy Republicans voted in favor of rejection,
and forty six Democrats aud nineteen Republicans
voted against rejection. And, strange as it may
appear, nealy every Republican paper in Ohio
sanctior the action OF Congress in this particular
They all sustained the resolutions when thy wcr,
striving for Office but after the Offices were game,
came the reputation Of the Platform which sccu
red them success. We always believed Congress
insiLcere in adopting the resolutions, aud the s.
called Union Convention Of Ohio equally insnccr
is placing them in their party platform, and no
wehaye the proof that our belief was well loundc

! ion was resumed.
