WASHINGTON, March IA.
Assistant Secretary Fox reports the Mer-
rimac badly injured, holes bored in her hull
| by the Monitor, and leaking fast when she
put back. He says the Oumberland's broad
sides, on the first days fight, injured her so
| badly she could not attack the Minnesota
or Roanoke, although aground. He thinks
the Minnesota can handle her, because the
Merrimac is slow and unwieldy, and it is
impossible for her to go to sea. She would
inevitably founder in an ordinary gale
The Merrimac's snout was jerked askew by
ball from an eleven inch gun on the Min
nesota. Capt. Buchanan received his wound
from rileman on board the Cumberland,
the ball going through his thigh. He says
the crew of the Minnesota, as well as the
Monitor, are eager to see the Merrimac
come out again, in which they are not like
Iy to be gratifed.

in three days are able to repeat the Lords
Prayer quite accurately. They are genial
and docile, and ready to be taught"
When the body of 0. Jennings Wise was
disinterred, to be removed to his friends,
the features were recognized as those of an
apparently old shabby seller of papers and
envelopes to Burnside's soldiers at Annspo-
lis. The fact throws light on the rebel spy
system.
Two rebel regiments, hearing our cavalry
were at Manassas, Tuesday morning, threw
away arms and knapsacks and fed precipi-
lately.
A revision of the militia law is advocated
by Stanton, so that officers may be furnish
ed from the present volunteer force, when
disbanded, as instructors.
Captain Wood, a rebel prisoner taken at
Manassas, says that nearly all the Virginia
troops re-enlisted, but had the roll-call of
the Third South Carolina regiment been
found, it would have shown that only nine
men agreed to re-enlist.

The English papers and reviews have
made good dealzof fun of the awkward
ness of American 0ratory, and the soIecism
of American conversation, but if any Amer
lean with enough brains to know a hornets

made so awkward a speech as that of Lord
Palmerston in regard to the apprehended
duel between Peel and O'Donoghue, we
have had the good luck to have failed to
learn it. Take the following specimen Of

CAIRO, March 14th.-The rebels evacuat-
ed New Madrid last night, leaving guam
tity of guns and stores which they were
unable to carry away.
Some fighting took place yesterday be-
tween their guuboats and our siege bate
ries, in which we lost twenty killed and
wounded. a shot from one of their guns
dismounted one of our 24-pounders, killing
four or five.
Capt Carr, of the Tenth Illinois, was
killed on Wednesday night, while placing
pickets.
The loss of the enemy is not known, as
he carried off his dead and wounded They
were supposed to number 5000. Island
No. 10 is reported evacuated.
Col Jno. A. Logan arrived here to-day
from Fort Donelson, and is recovering.
The steamer G. w. Graham returned this
afternoon from Nashville. large number
of St. Louis merchants, who went up on her
with goods for sale, returned on the same,
having sold their goods at sacrifice
Others returned in order to effect sales at
better prices. Bank bills of loyal States
and specie are scarce. Every shop keeper
is getting treasury notes daily, which are
eagerly sought for Southern bank bills
especially those of Tennessee, are abundant
The people of Nashville, however, are rap
idly being convinced of their worthlessness
Anxious inquiries are made for cotton, tur-
pentine and resin. Although specie is of.
fered, nothing of the kind could be had
except 200 bales of cotton, shipped by a
resident of Nashville on his own account

TALKING TO THE PoINT.-The Salem Un-
ion Advocate, conducted by John /. Morri-
son, once Democrat, but now for the union
of ali parties till we have a government
gives the following patriotic and timely
counsel ses s.faszs
The Government must be saved, or all
will be lost. If party organizations stand
in the way of the salvation of the Govern
ment, they must be abandoned; for of what
use win they be if the Government should
be overthrownl Is it not better for all
parties to unite and suppress the rebellion,
than to divide and waste their energies in
quarreling over immaterial issues, and thus
become an easy prey to their common enc
my. The truth is, and the sooner it is adj
mitted and acted on the better, there can be
but two parties in the present crisis. One
for the Government-the other against it.
There can be no neutrals. Men may differ,
and differ honestly, as to the best way of
putting down the rebellion but they must
not allow these differences to embarrass the
plans which the Government has natured
to suppress it. The very existence of the
Government is at stake. To be, or not to
be, is the question. And SO momentous
are the issues involved in this question, that
they exclude every other interest, party,
property, life itself, and all its endearments.
Let us hear no more about Conventions.
1t will be time enough to think about that
when the Government is out of danger
The character of the State for patriotism is
in no danger of suffering by little delay.
Indiana has uttered her voice in favor of
the Union in the persons of $4,000 volun-
teers. who now represent on the tented
| field, her sincere devotion to the sacred
cause They are the true opponents of her
fidelity, and if they are to perish in the
dreadful struggle, she has go, oeo more brave
and patriotic hearts, who stand ready TO fill
up the breach, and avenge the blood of their
sons and brothers, who fell in defense OF the
Union and the Constitution.
We say then to the friends of the Union
throughout the State, be patient. Wait till
mid summer. The skies may be more pro-
pitious. HBy others faults, the wise cor
rect their own"

/ WHEAT PRogpEcr.-The Valparaiso Re
publican says:
We have conversed with number of
prairie farmers and all agree that the new
wheat crop remains unhurt. A great many
supposed that the ice would destroy It, but
on the contrary, it seems to have afforded
shield of protection against the pinching
frosts during the winter when there was so
little snow. If nothing happens after this
to isjure it we may reasonably expect fair
crop of wheat next harvest.
