Fight Between the Monitor and Mer-


The pilot of the Cumberland gives the follow
ing account of the engagement between these
iron-ciad vessels:
The Monitor came in on Saturday night. and
proceeded up past the Minnesota The rebe
steamers jamestown and yorktown we're not
iron plated, or at any rate only partially so
They came down IN the daylight, making for the
Minnesota, but 10 their surprise found the Moni-
tor ready to receive them.
On Sunday morning the Monitor moved close
up 90 the Merrimac and, side by side. engaged
her for four hours and twenty minutes. Once
the Merrimac dashed her iron prov squarely
against the Monitor, but did not injuse that YES
sci in the least. The Monitor in turn determines
10 try her force in similar operation, but in some
unaccountabe manner the wheel or other steering
apparatus became entangled, it is said, and the
Monitor rushed by, just missing her aim. Capt
Woren is confident THAT he put three shot through
the hull OF his antagonist-problbiy through the
ports. The Monitor fired LIS pound cast iron
shot The ought iron shot not used. be-
cause their great weight and peculiar construc
ton renders the guns much more liable to
burst Tho Nenimac fired about forty shots on
the Monitor. which replied rapidly as posi-
be- but, so far as il is known, neither vessel is
damaged. Those on board the Monitor say the
balls ratified and rang upon both vessels and
seemed TO bound of harmless The Merrimac
is probably not injured, at least more than the
starting OF plate or of her iron covering,
and her machinery being uniIjused, she is prob
ably til To come out again. Ii is impossible to
keep the Merrimac from coming She can
sail three knott an hour taster than the Monitor
From her evolutious | should Judge she can 20
at the rate of eight or nine knots an hour. Ii is
impossible TO board the Merrimac Should she
come out again she will be obliged to pass within
range of the Union gun at the Rip Raps, and a
shot from her might crush her sides, but it is very
difficult to manage so heavy piece of artillery
and the Union gun in all probability, might be
fired fifty time: without touching her. DO not
think the Merrimac is Calculated to carry much
coal. and that might have been reason for her
retiring from the contest The Monitor perhaps
might follow up the rebel steamers and disable
them, but if she gets among the rebel batteries a
heavy fire might be concentrated on her from diff
ferent points. and she be thus injured, possibly
she might be grappled 10 and towed ashore.
These and other reasons may suffice to show why
the Monitor did not follow among the bntserqes
of Craney Island and Norfolk General Wool,
understand. has ordered all the women and chill
dren away from Fortress Monroe in anticipation
of the Merrimac's temperance.
