We capture from the London Morning
Post, the ministerial organ of Great
Britain. That profound paper says:
sThe Merrimac was engaged with q
vessel like herself, armed with steel
plates, the Monitor, the contest taking
place under the guns Of the FEDERAL
Battery at Ericsson"
"The Monitor has been constructed
on the same principles as the Merrimac,
and is the heavier and stronger vessel
ofthe two."
"At length, however, if we are to be-.
leive one account, a shot, not from the
Monitor but from the Ericsson battery,
took effect on the port this. side of the
Merrimac, and she thereupon retired to
Norfolk harbor."
whether injured or not, however,
the Merrimac did great days work.
Under the guns Of hostile batteries she
utterly destroyed two powerful fr,gates,
blew up one gun.boat and seriously
damaged another. She even then en-
gagged with vessel of ecen greater
Strength than herself, also under guns
of hostile battery, and after contest
Of several hours retired In safety, if not
entirely uninjured."

A REVEREND Roor DocroR.
Rev. DR.. Moore, of Richmond, lately
revived his dropping flock with decoc.
ton Of strengthening roots. Climbing
doun the family trees of Davis aud
Lincoln to their very tap roots, or ger
minal radicat;on, he burrowed out the
prophetic and consolatory truth that
Davis, 10 its origin, means "God with
u.s. and Lincoln signifies con the verge
Of precipice." Having mislaid our
Sanscrit, Coptic and Armoric lexicon..
we cannot decide on the correctness Of
the Reverend Rebels derivation, but
we trust that his "root-doctorinq" did
his patients good.

How the Rebel Steamer Merrlmac 10 to

How the Rebel Steamer Aerrlmsc 10 70
be Sunk.
[Fron the Springfield Mas Republican!
In the debate in the Senate on the
Stevens floating battery, Senator Pom
eroy, of Kansas, expressed the opinion
that it will soon be demonstrated that
any wooden vessel, any large ocean
steamer, for instance, can run down such
. battery as the Virginia and sink her.
He said if he was the captain Of the
Minnesota, he would tighten her, except
at the stem, and put her 1T the highest
speed, and run upon the Virginia and
sink her. The Boston Commercial
Bulletin says on tho subject:
"lf the Minnesota, or any other vessel
of the same size, should run bows on
with . speed Of twelve knots an hour,
striking the Merrimac on her broads'de,
che would sink her. As for instance,
10 1880, the ship Colum bian, 500 tons,
lying at Damon's wharf, Charleston,
parted her bow hawser, and swinging
with the tide, run against the Charles
ton bridge, and cut it through. In 1881
the ship Eli Whitney, Of 400 tons, com.
ing up with her three topsails set, run
three.quarters Of her length into the end
of Long Wharf. In 1850, . ship going
up to the docks in Liverpool, became
unmausgeable, and run into the stone
pie..head, moving the stones some IL
Of Is feet, and doing but comparatively
little damage to the ship. We believe
there is tact and skill enough IN our
navy to dispose Of the Merrinac if she
ventures out of Norfolk"
These sagacious and prophetic hints
are getting common, and since half the
people hereabonts already know what
the project to be tried in Hampton
Roads is, and the rebels are unquestion-
ably informed on the subject, there can
be no harm in printing tie fact that the
ocean steamers Vanderbilt and Arago
have been armed.~ith strong iron prows

their upper works are protected by q
covering Of cotton bales, which are more
impervious to cannon balls than iron.
The experiment will be q novel and ex.
citing one, and if it shell turn out that
iron clad vessels can thus be destroyed
by vessels of superior speed and mo-
mcntum, new and important elements
will be introduced into the calculation
Of the value Of mailed ships Of war.

THE A AND STRIPES.
BY REV. JOHN COLLINS M'o4BE, D. D.

1.-THE origin of the following ines may be
traced to the fact, thatin 1884 the uthor, then
quite a youth, addressed some stnzas to the
American flag, then the idolized nsign of a
free and happy people. They obtaied, at the
time, some little popularity, more d account
of the theme, than for any real meri in the
production. Some writer for the Altimore
American has recently revived them, md has
taken the trouble to contrast the presen posi-
ton of the author with his then ent ruined
sentiments, and pronounces him ''one wlo is
now leagued with those who would like t. see
the same flag trailing in the dust at the belest
Of a political usurper." The author Of he
present article takes occasion tc give his re0-
ons for the ''c~hange' hat has come ''o'er th
spirit of his dream."1
70! there was a time, but twas long ago,
In the days of my childhood's years
Ere the North had evoked this cloud ofwoe
With its tempests of blood and tears
When | loved to look on the stars and stripes,
On that banner waving SO free,
Der the hills and wales Of Il happy land,
And DER many a rolling sea.
But that day has passed, and the landi is changed,
And that flag n degraded flag
Aye, that banner is nothing now to me
But q soiled, and a worthless rag.
1t is fann'd by the frenzied breath of hate,
1t is borne by towards and knaves;
In my heart l loathe such a flag as that,
And the cause over which it waves.
Aye, l loved it once, with a childish pride,
When l read on the scroll Of fame
OF the victories won beneath its folds,
AS it fash'd like an OriAammr.
But no'U / can see it with cold contempt,
AS orr battle-felds have seen,
Torn, faded, and trampled down in the dust,
In the hands Of the base and mean.
Yes. | loved it once, | despise it now,
lis the ensign Of Irand and wrong:
And here in the presence Of God and man,
| -ecant each word Of that song!
Aye, that childish song, when with childEood's
trust
| believed the North to be true,
Nor dreamed it would seek, Ia its ~soulless lust,
To dctilc the land to its rue.
| sang of that banner an ~artless song,
Such as ignorunt childhood sings;
Twas childish, | know, 'but now I'm q man,
! have put away childish things"
And | say to the reckless, h~cartless crew
Who i%nsanciy rave, at the North,
That your Union" is deaR, its requiem said,
And what is lis prestige worth?
Worth ? Scarcely the dust in which it is laid,
Slain, slain by your murdcrous hands;
And its tomb, enwreathed by the stars and
stripes.
In the field "Acoldama' stands.
I've finished my song-'tis my MANHOOD lay,
Not the chant Of the foolish child
The banner / acorshiRp'd in boyhood's day,
Is suited, deyraded, drilled!
