The information has gained ground that
the Merrimac is superior in speed to the
Monitor, aud that if the former chose she
could run past her and go ont tosea. This.

her gunners as to their relative speed and
the ability of the Merrimac to run away
from the Monitor, he replied we would like
to see her attempt it. "She would then be
at our mercy, and by following close in her
wake we would soon cripple, if not destroy
her rudder and propeller" A more enthu-

down, then his under coat, laid that down
deliberately, put his ammunition on top of
the pile, then stood and coolIy took aim at
the enemy. Each time, when about to FIRE,
be would say, You scoundrel, you shot
my Captain" or words to that effect, and
every time he pulled trigger an enemy bit
the dust. Seeing his dangerous position,
exposed as the boy was, prominent OBJ
ject for the eHemy's marksmen, Lieutenant
Blink ordered him down, but he either
didn't hear, or didn't want to, and kept on
blazing away as if the fate of the army de-
pended on his maintaining his position
When he came down he was entirely IN
harmed. Young Spellitich is about nine
teen years old, and is native of Hunga-
ry.- Davenport Gazette.

@s% The Nashville correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette gives an account of
an interview between Mrs. Polk, the widow
of the ex-President, and some army officers.
Among others General Mitchell was intro
duced and the scene that ensued Is described
as follows:
To him Mrs. P. remarked, "General,
trust this war will speedily terminate by
the acknowledgment of Southern indepen-
dence." The remark was the signal for q
luli in the conversation, and all eyes were
turned upon the General to hear his reply.
He stood with his lips firmly compressed
and his eyes looking fully into those of
Nrs. Polk as long as she spoke. He then
said X: "Madam, the man whose name you
bear was once the President of the United
| States he was an honest man and true
patriot; he administered tho laws of this
Government with equal justice to all. We
! kaow no independence of one section of our
/ country which does not belong to all others,
and judging by the past, if the mute lips OF
the houored dead, who lies so.near us, could
speak, they would express the hope that
| this war might never cease lif that cessation
was purchased by the dissolution of the
| Union of States over which he once pre-
sided" 1t is needless to say the effect was
electrical made, as the remark was, in a
calm, dignifed tone and with that earnest
| ness for W ha.h liz General is noted no Of
Tense could be taken.
Southern ind pendence was not men
toned again during the interview.
