ART OF THE MONITORS CREW CAPTURED.
From the Richmond Wing, 10Th

Eighteen of the Monitors crew came ashore
at three O'Clock this afternoon at City Point,
and were surprised upon landing by the con-
federate pickets and ordered to surrender.
Nine Of them, including four officers, laid
down their pistols and cutlasses The others
rushed to the small boat and pulled for the
Monitor. Eight of them were killed: the re-
naming one lost an arm. The Monitor open
ed fire with heavy gun, and prevented the
capture OF the boat and the survivor. Nine of
the prisoners reached here at half-past six
o'clock, and marched through Sycamore street
to Gen. Huger's headquarters, surrounded by
a great crowd. One of the officers is the pay
master, the others are midshipmen. None of
the cOnfederates were hurt

RICHMOND TO BE DEFENDED.
From the Richmond Whip u

The heroic resolution of the legislature that
Richmond must be defended-the declaration
of president Davis that he had determined to
defend the city, and that Virginia is tenable
for twenty years-the words worthy true son
of the Old Dominion spoken by mayor Mayo,
''that his ancestor had surveyed the ground
that Richmond stands on, and that none of his
name should ever surrender 1.-THE prayers
and eXhortations of the clergy-the calm firm
ness Of the wOmen-the unanimous appeal of
the prcss-the universal determination to
abide any accident of war, rather than basely
invite the domination of aliens-all infuse a
new courage into our fellow citizens through
out the contederacy. They will be convinced
that a resistance will be made worthy the
cause and the stake at issue, The advance of
the enemy has been at least made more eau
tious. He will be compelled to move in force
and his insolent boast of capturing our me-
tropolis will be subjected to bloody and
signal refutation.

UNIONISM IN THE SOUTH.

Edward Everett. who deals in fancies, aud
makes speeches according to rhetoric instead Of
fact, in late speech in Massachusetts said
"There are many, very many Union men in
Southern States held down by the strong hand Of
arbitrary power who call on you, frecmen of Mas
sachusetts, to come to their aid In the name Of
that Union which they and you equally cherish,
appeal to you. Go to their assistunce-relieve
them from bondage to government they detest
They will welcome your coming they will re-
celve you with open arms-they will hail you as
deiverers."
Fremont who has since spoken in the same
State rcfute5 this patent falsehood in the follow
ing:
"Nor do share in the belief that there is
large body Of Unonists in the South. In my in
divIdua experience have found them few, and
in the progress of the they have been fast
decreasing.
"In the whole valley of Virginia do not re-
member to have met Union man, and certainly
not one Union woman Laughter. This elc-
ment OF their strength must not be underrated. 1t
serves to show how thoroughly the feelings Of the
South are In this contest, and leaves no doubt as
to what will be the training Of the growing gen.
Grafton. Not only we're the people not desirous of
returning into the Union, but they did not enter
tain the idea in any shape-ther only conjectures
were as to the manner in which the separation
would be finally effected ! do not think that
our Northern people realize how many years the
South has been preparing for this struggle.
awe at with people who have been
educated to believe that they contending for
their liberties they carrying on this contest
with unity and determination; their armies have
acquired the solidity and consistency of regular
troops To reduce such rebellion will require
the utmost exerion of our force, and the immedi-
ate use Of every advantage which naturally falls
to our share in the contest. Their determination
to obtain success is unconquerable--to subdue
them, their designs must be made impossible, and
the unity which gives them strength must be ours

TIE YARRROUGH WILL CAsE.-This import
ant case was argued and decided at the last term
of Wake Superior Court, (ast week) his Honor
Judge Heath presiding. 1t appears that Col.
Iarbrough, during his last illness, made two wills.
BY the first he gave to his children his real estate
and to his wife eight thousand dollars in cash
and by the second will he gave the real estate to
his wife, and the cash mentioned to his children.
The fist will was made the 2lst, and the last the
25th of March, few days before he died. The
Hon. George f. Badger and II. A Badham, Esq,
appeared for the first will, and B +. Moore and q.
W. Haywood, Esquires for the last. The case
was very ably argued on both sides, and the jury
declared the first will to be the true one. The
real estate the HoteD therefore, goes to the chill
drcn, and the eight thousand dollars to his widow.

For once, Fremont tells the truth.

COOP EFFEcT.-Hon. Thos. A. r Nelson has
come out in long address to the people of East
Tennessee, condcmning the recent proclamation OF
Lincoln, and declaring it the most outrageous act
Of usurpation ever contemplated in Europe or
America. He says: | shall feel il my duty to
encourage the most persevering and determined
resistance against the tyrants and usurpers OF the
Federal Administration who have blasted our
hopes and are seeking to destroy the last vestigo
of freedom among Let every man who is able
to fight buckle on his armor, and without waiting
for the slow progress of conscrption, at once vol
uneer to aid in the struggles against the usurper.
God will not prosper man or Government which
heretofore hypocritically pretended to wage war
for the Constitution but now throws off the mask
and sets II at defiance The address will have
great effect in East Tennessee. He will raise a
regiment.

How THEY FIRE IN BATTLE.-An army cor
respondent says:
"You wonder whether the regiments fire regu-
larly in voey, or whether each man loads and fires
as fast as he can. That depends upon circum-
stances but usually, except when the enemy is
near at hand, the regiments fire only at the com
mand of their officers. You hear drop, drop,
drop. as few of the skirmshers fire, followed by
a rattle and ROLL which sounds like the falling OF
a building, just as some Of you have heard the
brick walls tumble at a great fire. Sometimes
when body Of the enemy's cavalry are sweeping
down upon regiment to cut it TO pieces the men
form into square, with the officers and musicians
in the centre The front rank stands with bayo-
net charged, while the rear rank fires as fast as 1t
can. Sometimes they form in four ranks deep
the two front ones kneeling with bayonets charg-
ed, so that if the enemy should come upon them
thew would run against picket fence of bayonets.
When they form in this way the other two ranks
load and fire as fast as they Then the roar Is
terrific, and many horse and his rider goes do "n
before the terrible storm of bullets.

"SToNEWALL" ADMINISTERS THE SACRAMI

"SToNEWALL" ADMINISTERS THE SACRAMENT.
On the morning of recent battle near Har-
pers Ferry, after sermon by one Of his Chap
ains, Stonewall Jackson, who by the way, is an
Elder in the Presbyterian church, administered
the sacrament to the church members in his
army. He Invited all christians to particip pate in
this ceremony. a Baptist, the strai ghtest of his
sect, thoroughly imbued with the idea of close
communion, was seen 20 hesitate, but the occasion,
and the man who presided, overcame his scruples,
and thus it has happened that the prospect of
fight and the eloquence Of Jackson, made Bap-
tist forget that baptism is the door into the
church. In all Jackson's army an oath is rarely
uttered. religious enthusiasm pervades it,
which makes every man a hero Conscious of the
Justice Of our cause and imbued with the strongest
convictions of patriotism, his men irresistible.
In this incident, we have an explanation Of Gen
