mercy; third, that we can now commence the
creati IN Of proper navy upon footing OF COM
parative equality with oil Of the naval Powers
Of the world.
Mr.. President, no man sympsthizes with the
relatives and friends Of the gallant dead who
perished on the Congress and Cumberland more
deeply than I do. Perhaps, however, their loss
was necessary TO teach Us our tree path OF duty
70 the country. Let Us not suffer more valuable
lives to be periled upon such worthless vessels;
! and while We deplore tho loss of 90 many bravo
men, let us rejoice that so many more are left to
the service who are willing to do and die for
their country. Especially let US give thanks fer
the brilliant example Of courage, seamsDship,
and patriotism furnished to the country and TO
the world by that matchless officer, Lieutenant
John L. Wordep, and the officers and men under
his command on board the Monitor. In that un-
exampled engagement Of Sunday last, after
terribly euffocating and dangerous passage from
New York, without having slept with an uI
drilled crew and handling an untried experiment,
Lieut. Worden and his crew performed prodi-
gies of skill and valor that will render all on
board the Monitor immortal. They will be i'm
mortal not for their valor alone. Who shall un-
dertake to estimate the influence that battle
will exert upon all of the maritime powers oil the
earthg Who shall undertake to tell the num-
Der of homes to which the news of its success
full result carried quiet on that eventful even
ing, which had been for hours disturbed by the
most distracting fears? Is il too much TO say
that it rescued our commerce and our CONNER
cial cities from ravage, and in one hour com
pletely revo,utionized all systems of naval ar
chitecture and naval warfare? Captain Erics-
son, too, may well be proud of the place his
,name will henceforth occupy in the history OF
nautical science, and we may well be proud that
the country of our birth is the country OF his
adoption.
But, Mr.. President, while would thus honor
the gallant living, would bear my tribute OF
afectionate respect for the memory of the he
roic dead who fell in the engagement in Hamp-
ton Roads Let the remembrance of that brave
young officer, whose obseguies are now being
performed in another part of this city, who,
when his vessel was sinking beneath his feet,
replied to a summons to surrender, that he
would never give up the flag intrusted to his
keeping, and the next moment met death with
composure, be cherished by his countryme1.-
The name of Smith. already illustrious IN the an
nails of the American Navy, will be added to the
bright galaxy of those who have freely laid
down their lives at the call of their country.
Mr.. President, the nation has cause to be
proud of the Navy; let 1t be honored and main

TIE RECORD OF a Brave MAN.-We have al
ready announced that among the wounded in the
terrible battle that was recently fought in Ar
kansas, was Capt. Henne, of this city There is
something peculiarly romantic in this mans
history. He was soldier in Germany, and in
fighting the battles of his native country lost his
left arm and two fingers from his right hand. On
the breaking out of hostilties here, he was ore
of the frst men to volunteer in defence of his
adopted country. He was First Lieutenant of
Capt. Wentz's company, but when they we're
mustered into service he was rejected on account
Of his mutilations; even an appeal to the War
Department being unsuccessful to continue him
in service. Nothing daunted he followed the
company to Missouri, without pay even as pri.
vate, sharing the rations of the men and deter.
mined if there was fight to participate In it.
He did fight with them, and such was his bra
very and the mems admiration OF his herolsm
that he was made Captain Of Missouri COM
pany, in which capacity he has since done some
hard fighting. He participated with all his ac-
customed ardor in tho recent terrible battle ct
Sugar Greek, Arkansas, where he received q
shot in the left leg, which, we learn has 10 con.
sequence been amputated. Thoroughly disabled
for life, this brave man and true patriot II seems
to us, il entitled to solid compensation from our
Government, and wc hope his case will be made
q special one. 1t is said that Mr.. Herring, Mis-
former partner, intends 70 90 after the Captain,
or what remains ofhim, and bring him home. -
May 1t be so, and success attend his effort

ined the works Of Manassas that an army en-.
camped there, and which for 30 many months
occupied our, own army Of 100000 men, and
with its 'Quaker" guns and ingenious boldness
of pickets 90 deceived our military authorities
that this great Manassas did not really num-.
ber sixty thousand men, while the "Gibraltar Of
Virginia" 10 nothing but an immense humbug-
It Is not very surprising that Euglishmen, who
like Sir James Ferguson and Others, visited the

Two AoRE IRoH CAsEp HrsAMKRs-The work
upon the second iron plated steamer, a. Green
Point, 10 pushed with the utmost epeed, day and

that she will be the fastest Of this slow species
