DEsrhucTIoN or THE MERRMAC.-Iatnal,
VINO was in command Of the Merrimac, has
reported to Mallory, the rebel Secretary Of
the navy, the reasons fer blowing her up. In
substance they are these that when the
evacuation Of Norfolk was determined upon,
be found himself deserted by his associates.
H. then proposed to take the Merrimac up
james River within forty miles Of Richmond.
The pilots sl.d that could be dons if the
vessel was lightensd. Five hours were spent
in throwing her heavy materials over board
and then the pilots said she could not 20 over
jamestown flats TILL after easterly winds
should have raised the water, now lowered
by winds from the wcst. Having been made
unfit to fight and being unable to Iun, she
was blown up to keep her out Of the hands
! Of the fcierals. The officers all agreed on
the necessity. Tatnall thinks the pilots de-
ceiyed him because they did not want to be
/ in fight
