erected a new battery opposite Point
Pleasant, snd in the morning opened fer.

be understood, when the crops Of the Bor-

Gen. HS lice MS Sentim e. n Is.

The following paragraph, from the
Newburyport (Mass.) Herald, 10 deserved
compliment. from one Of the most sensible
journals Of the country:
GEN. HALLEcK on POLITICIANS AND
CHrLDREs.-Six hundred Of the children
Of the public schools of ST. Louis, invited
Gen. Hallsck to concert and exhibition
for the benefit Of the poor. He answered
in letter, from which We clip this para
graph, which is worthy Of being printed
in letters Of gold and placed in every
school house IN the country:
The corrupt politicians Of the present
day will probably, from self interest, con-
tinue to fan the flames of civil discord. -
But our children should be taught that We
are ell members Of the same family, and
that our country can never be parmane nt'y
divided. We must instil into their minds
those sentiments of fraternal affection and
pure patriotism which alone can restore
peace to our country. and eradicate all
traces Of the animosities which have been
sOgendered by this unholy rebellion
Such sentiments do honor to their Au-
thor. They 6ttinqly rebukc the Yahooism
Of those Republican prints and politicians
would make internal hate and eternal dis
cord the normal relations Of the Northern
and Southern sections Of the United States.

Mr.. Thomas Dowobo has held the 20.

and during all that time he has made bu.
one visit to the Capitol.
The circulation of the National Repub.
lican and Tribune has been forbidden

The Conclwsiom OF the Fight Belw rem
the Monitor and the Merrimac.

Having given her guns an hour to cool,
the Monitor returned to the contest, and the
Merrimac was apparently ready for her,
for she did not retreat but stood her
ground. Nothing could exceed the accu.
racy OF the firing on both sides. After
keeping up the contest for half an hour at
arrange Of half or three quarters Of mile,
the Monitor began to advance on her an
tagonist. who awaited her with apparent
confidence. Delivering her fire with de.
Liberation and unerring precision the Mon
itor went straight ahead and at full speed
for the Merrimac, till the men on both
boats. if they had not been hidden by the
iron covering, might have engaged IN .
hand to hand fight Now followed one Of
the most remarkable and exciting scenes
ever witnessed in naval warfare. The
vessels touched, and delivered their broad
sides simultaneously, the shot crashed
upon the sides of both, either glancing off
and falling into the water, or crumbling
into atoms. As, if determined that the
combat should have On end, the Monitor
moved round the Merrmac at distance
Of only few yards, plunging her shot.
into her sides. With we'll directed aim
she planted one into her hull below water
line. Three gaping holes now appeared
10 her iron coating. Passing deliber ately
round the stern Of the Merrimac, the Mon.
itor aimed shot at her screw. and several
others at vital points. The Merrimac now
began to make off toward the cove flank
ing Craney Island, and as it became ap.
parent that she was disabled. cheers went
up from the ramparts and the shore. The
Monitor did not pursue, probably on ac-
count Of the heating of her guns. or some
other equally good reason. After lying
for short time near the shore, the Merr
mac slowly <ounded out and turned
her prov toward the place she was seen in
the morning. where the other rebel boats
were assembled spectators to the fight
They gathered around her ike the hackers
Of a whipped bully. At this time j, WAS
the general opinion of those who had the
best means for observing, that the Merri.
mac had sunk at least two feet, and that
she was fast going down. Her deck was
thronged with her crew. She gave no
sign OF steam or smoke. Small boats pu.
off from her, and tug boats came to her
sides, as il to render assistance. As soon
rs arrangements could be made for doing
GO, the boats took her in tow, and about
three-quarters pas: IL, the Merrimac, the
Yorktown, the jamestown, and the other
rebel craft either towing or pulling the
former, might be seen, constituting a
mournful procession, as they passed into
the dim distance under Craney Island

Aspirations Of Brigh am.

The Desert News contains q sermon by
President Brigham Young. of Utah, in
which We find an amusingly startling pro
position. 1t appears that in building up
the Kingdom Of God, the prophet is no.
going to be satisfied with few paltry pic.
ayunes, or with mere pre- emptien right
to the soil Of the Desert. Should the Gov
eminent grant to the head of every family
six hundred and forty acres Of land, and
to every wife and child their portion. as
was done in Oregon Territory, the Nor.
mons would swallow up the whole Of Utah
Brigham and his family coming in for
a pretty large scope Of country. But even
such munifcent donation would not sat
isfy the Saints, if we are to credit Presi.
dent Young. He announces that in few
years Utah vii; not contain his own pos
terity.
Utah. big as i, is, with its area of 1885,.
900 square miles, nearly three times as
large as Missouri-not being capaciou,
enough for the multiplication and replen.
ishment Of the Mormons, Brigham says
he "cannot put up with this small posses.
sion." Saith the prophet:
III have always said to the thieves, wait
until | tell you to steal The first thing
| mean TO take il the State of Missouri
and then shall not be satisfied next
shall want the State Of Illinois. And this
Territory, Missouri and Illinois, are not
going to bs sufficient Territory for Heber
and me, 70 say nothing Of brothers Wells

brethren"

The Capitol of Dakota Territory has
been located, by the Legislature, at Ysnk.
ton. A lively scene attended the passage
of the Bill in the House. Geo. M. Pinney,
Speaker. it seems, was under obligations
for his Speaksrship-to vote for the loca-
ton Of the Capitol at Yankton-which OBJ
legation he repudiated, and at due time
caused the defeat Of the Bill in the House.
A general storming Of the castle was like
ly to be the result, and in order to preserve
the peace Gov. Jayne, on ,equis,ion Of
Speaker Pinney, sent a detachment Of 20
soldiers, under Lieut.. Piughof. to preserve
order in the House That body immedi'
stely adjourned. That night was one Of
fights and rumors Of fights which seem to
have had their influence upon Mr.. Pinney,
for the next morning he resigned his
Speakership. The Bill 6sally passed, with
but one dissenting vote.

SIOUX CITY, IOWA:
SATURDAY MORNING, April II
SPARE THE AFRICAN.

A writer in the Des Moines Times. says :
If had the power l would send those
secession leaders to some barren isle never
to be permitted to leave it. l would make
the abolitionists nurse and tend to negro
babies from the time they were born until
they were two years old
This would all be very we'll, so far as
concerns secessionists and abolitionists.-
But xhat sins have negro babies committed
tina. they should be subjected to such in.
dignities and have their characters for
future usefulness entirely destroyed, by
early association with such Influences
We never saw prejudice against the negro
race carried to such an extent before.

enormous loss. England-our tyrant-
fears American strength, ard would be
glad to see the South severed from the

interests from that hemisphere. England
would then continue to keep up emnity

she would commence to plumber Canada,

How sadly mistaken! But for dread of

We firmly believe would be in force this
