WHY THE MONITOR DID NOT PUR.
SUE THEMERRIMAC.

Since the success of the Monitor in
her encounter with the Me1vinanc, on
the 9th of March, many persons have
their aStonishment that the
'Echeese box'' did not pursue the re :
treating Merrinenc and sink her before
she arrived at Norfolk. We have no
doubt that such consummation would
have caused intense rejoicing through
out the country. 1t was a very feast
ble theory, but unfortunately there was
an unsurmountable obstacle to it's be-
ing put into practice.
The rebels have exercised the same
patient care in the preparations Of
their defences at Norfolk, that they
manifested in watching the Merrinaac
grow from sunken frigate to for
midable iron-clad Leviathan. The la
bor Of months and the expenditure of
of hundreds of thousands of dollars
upon their pet scheme, was no trifie
for them, and every precaution was
taken to prevent u failure. They con.
|structed trap at the mouth of the
Elizabeth river, so that in case the Mer.
rtnsac should be compelled to fee from
an attacking force, the pursuing ships
might be ensnared and compelled to
surrender.
The channel Of the Elizabeth rive,
was staked out with spiles, 50 that 4
clear channel Of from seventy to nine
|ty feet only was left by which Nerfoll
could be. approached. just beyond
the mouth Of the river the German.
totcn was moored, with springs upon
her cable, and ready for instant move
ment. The ship was also prepared, B,
boring, so that she. could be sunk ir
I've minutes after the valve ropes were
drawn The plan was, in case tht
Mesvinedc was p1rsusd, to let her and
her .pursuers pass in and then swing
the Ge,nadntoacn across the channe
and then sink her, thus, placing an i'm
passable barrier. to the escape Of tht
pursuing vessels. ,,r.} ~ ss,'-.,s y; ,,.: -.
by examining the principal upo,
whichia1rati is trapped one may readil,
see what would have been the positiol
of ourts cheese box" in the E]izabe,l
river with the bars put up All !ou
|efforts to release her would hav,
|proven futile, aud wes hoald have bee,
compelled to records far greater d6iis

We're charging on one Of our batteries.
Here Luman Russell was wounded in the
shoulder. Our division was sent into a
piece Of woods overhalf mile in front Of
our lines. unsupported by any other aud
where the rebels poured into Us a torrent
ofmusketly, grape and canister. Here
one OF our company was killed instantly;
several also in the regiment and lots in the
brigade. Seeing the danger we were
moved back to the lines, only in time to
save US from annhilation. The darkness
Of night stopped tie fight and we fell back
to Centewille, leaving all On the field.
Our Brigade was rear guard, and the rum
bling Of army trains and artillery, aad
the jamming Of wagons and smash Of
things showed what style IF retreat We had.
Silas Streeter, wounded as lie was, kept
with Us all oftbree days, and he managed
every sort Of way to get revenge. No man
over showed great bravery, and he got
the praise OF all; but 10 the night he was
n issing on our way to Centeryle and has
not since been heard Of. He may have
fdlen, or have been taken prisoner or got
tito the hospital. He will be all right,
