Foote was attached to the ship John Adama
Com. Foote was for some three years on the
African coast, and during that time took three
slavers.
He was also on the China coast during the war
between that power and the allied powers Of
England and France. Stationed at Canton,
Com. Foote landed from his vessel the Ports
mouth. marine force to protect the French and
American factories On returning to his vessel,
having missionary in the boat with him, the
Chinese Barrier Forts fred ct him.
He displayed the American flag, but the firing
did not cease. Com. Foote had Al interview
with Com. Armstrong, Of the Flag Ship San
Francisco. (Armstrong was the officer who last
Foote wished to "open" on the Chinese forts;
Armstrong thought he had better negotiate. -
Foote said lead and iron were the best peace ma
kers. Armstrong finally consented and Foots
got under weigh the Portsmouth and Levant,
but the latter grounded. Foote brought his
ship within seven hundred yards Of the forts and
opened fire, continuing Il until the forts ceased
to return bis fire.
Then he landed forces At two or three points

CAPTURK OF 1oRT apNRY.

A correspondent of the st. Louis Democrat.
writing from the scene Of action, says Of this
important achievement:
Fort Henry was, perhaps, q strong an earth
work o. any yet constructed by the rebels. Il
was mounted with seventeen heavy guns, eleven
Of which, equal in calibre to those on the gun
boats, were taxed to their utmost in defense of
the fort, but yet, in the wonderfully short
space of one hour and twenty minutes, were
entirely silenced and surrendered into the
hands Of Commodore Foot. These guns, too,
were mounted by some Of the finest artilleriats
Of the South, yet were insufficient
With this instructive lesson before their eyes,
it would seem reasonable to conclude that not
even in Columbus will the rebels venture to
dispute the palm with Commodore Foot, when
in command Of his full feet Of twelve boats
and their full ornaments. II they make the
hight, We have reasonable assurance that that
place will meet the same destruction that was
20 summarily visited upon Fort Henry.
In this connection, We may sllude to sig
ni6cant bit Of information. That the whole
gunbost feet is to be put in complete readiness
at once, each boat in the late action to repair
~ well as she can until the order to move Is
given, which may b. issued At any moment.
Another important result Of the Fort Henry
victory, - the opening Of Tennessee to the ar.

The Rebel Theory OF nun Run

Events occurring since the battle of Bull
Run have shaken the rebel doctrine of
"Yonkee cowardice," and the chivalry
seem to be obliged to give it up. The
following from the Richmond Examiner
of the Sd inst, is curiously significant:
"There Is an important physiological fact
to be recollected, also, in connection with
this subject. For men to fight we'll and
long, they must not have before undergone
fatigue and loss of rest. If an army is
required to rise early and march several
hours, it is a physical impossibility for
them to exhibit, for any length of time,
the proper nerve on the field. On the
morning Of Manassas, tie FEderal army tpere
required to rise at three O'Clock after fl-
tiguing precious day, and to march a .fuI
days journey before reaching the battle field.
They fought pretty tVeH until ndtare became
oVertdEed, and at three o'clock in the
afternoon, just twelve hours after they
bad risen from sleep, they took that panic
scAich has brought upon them so much ridicuIe,
aud Vhich has ercited so much disgust among
all intelligent men, except the more o5seruant
of our phySiotogiStS. The case was very
much the same at Bethel. The panic into
which they fell is only to be accounted for
on physiological principles"

Alone with the Dytng

lTwouId be difficult to find in the whole
range OF action more affecting incident
than IS contained in the following ex ract
from letter written by British seaman
to his wife. 1t was his first service as II
soldier, he having been sent on shore with
boats crew of mariners to silence Il fort
and take some guns:
w e dispersed Il few hundred yards dis
tant from the beach to keep the coast clear,
while the boats crew made prizes of the
guns. The enemy had the advantage of
the wood, and also knowing The country

vance. We were ordered to fire. I took
steady aim and fired ut my man-IEe fell

how. | felt as though l must go up to
him and see whether lie was dead or alive
He lay quite still, and was more afraid of
him than when lie stood facing me few
moments before. 1t is strange feeling to
come over yOu all nt once that YOU have
killed II man. He had unbuttoned his Jack
ct ana was pressing his hand over the front
OF the chest, where the wound was He
breathed hard, and the blood poured from
the wound, and also from his mouth every

bright as he turned fthem and stared at me.
/ shall never forget it. He was n fine
young fellow not more than five and TWEEN
ty. went down on my knees beside him,
and my breast felt as though my own heart
would burst. He had real English face,
and did not look like an enemy
What felt, never can tell; bnt if my
life could have saved his, believe should

he tried to speak, but his voice was gone.
l could not tell word he said, and every
time he tried to speak the blood poured out:
so knew it would soon be over. l am
not ashamed that was worse than he, for
he never shed n tear, and couldn't help
1T. His eyes were closed when gun was
fired from thc-to order aboard, and that
aroused him; he pointed to the beach,
where the boat was just pushing off with
the guns we had taken, and where our ma
rines were waiting to man the second boat.
and then he pointed to the woods where
the enemy lny concealed.
Poor fellow! he little thought how had
shot him down. l was wondering how |
could leave him TO die, and no one near
him, when he had something like n con-
Vuision for moment, and then his face
rolled over, and without n sigh he was
gone. j trust the Almighty has received
his soul. laid his head gently down ON
the grass, and left him. 1t seemed SO
strange when looked at him for the last
time; somehow thought of everything |
had heard of the Turks and Russians, and
the rest of them, but all that seemed SO far
of, and the dead man so near"
Scenes like these, are destined, we fear,
to be too common in our hitherto happy
land.
