Learning Good Manners.

The Atlantis Commonwealth calls attention to the fast
that the Yankee papers beginning to call things by
their righ. names. They speak of Prs'idsH. Davis,
General Lee, and often of the Government of the Con-
fedeate Sates Such one of the good results of hard
fighting The word "re6sl," though still current, is
gradually being dropped and those big black standing
heads of 1.-THE great Rebellion" under which the New
York papers commenced and continued for long time
the publication of news, hAvefOng since been dis
esFded The entire contempt of the South in which the
war was begun BY the North and bu. for which could
never have had beginning, is fast giving way to re-
spectu appreciation is supposed by some that even
the 9TH New York Regiment would now decline the
work of overrunning the South and subugatng the
belIon single-hAnded if offered them-Whereas it is
known that some time ago they CAmOred in vain for the

The last Yankee Coinage.

The Washington Government having received infOr-
nation that large loan had been negotiated in Europe
on account Of the Confederate States at set in
circulation the roorbaok that certain bankers in Holland
had offered to take hundred millions Of Q. S. bonds
at par be paid for in gold The falsehOOd will impose
on 10 one Who has information enough to know that if
Holland bankers wanted these bonds they could obtain
them by the ship load for greatly less than par It's
tremely probable that securities which we're haWked
through all Europe without purchaser at the beginning
Of the war when the general opinion there that the
United States would succeed should now find purchasers
and on such terms after the Yankees have experienced
tWo years of defeat and disaster and after the opinion Of
Europe has undergone entire change to the result
Of the war If this is ChAses lie he is great bungler
and should quit. Seward could have helped him to
something much more taking.

given. Ths becoming known 10 the crew. and ttsre
being three small boats which they could USE many
Jumped overheard and Il is feared we're drowned In at
tempting TO escape. Some Others In all including
Marine Captain FoHtene Assistant Engineer Brown and
Masters Mate Francis fell into the hands Of the enemy
Just before the order given 70 abandon the ship
q shot from the enemy entered forward OF the wheel,
killing Acting Master Kelly, commanding I'd division,
also killing and @oundDg all but four men at one of his
guns.
After seeing that the survivors of his crew fairly
clear of the ship and every preparation made to insure
her destruction, Commander Smith, accompanied by
Lieutenant Dewey, his executive officer Ensign Batche
der, and ls Assistant Engineer Tower left the shipand
abandoned her TO the flames after having, with his
hands, spiked most Of the guns.
As evidence of the GOODNESS which Capt Smith dis
played this OCCASION it is related that in the midst of
the death aud destruction which surrounded him. while
cody lighting his cigar with flint and Steel he remarked
to Lieut. Dewey, Il is not likely that shall escape
and We must make every preparation TO insure the de-
struction of the ship"
As soon as Capt Caldwell, of the Essex, discovered
the flames bursting from the Mississippi notwithstand-
ing she within five hundred yards of the principal
rebel batteries she steamed up the river and succeeded
ia tlking off from the shore many of the men who had
escaped and in saving many who we're still struggling
with the current for their lives
The fire having full possession of the ship, ragged
through her for an hour, greatly tightening her. while
ally slid off into the current. BY a seeming act Of
Providence the ship swung round by the force of
the current and headed down stream. The guns of
her porI battery which had not been fired, becoming
heated the venerable old frgate paid parting salute
10 the rebels at the came time that she fred the minute
guns over her own grave. Had the ship foated down
stream, stern foremost it is impossible to conjecture
what would have been the result inasmuch as her guns
would have been discharged upon her own crew, the
neighboring bank. She foated down the stream, her
GINS dischargng and shells deck exploding in every
direction, until half-past five o'clock, when having
reached point near which the rebel Arkansas
destroyed, she blew up with concussion which shook
toe country for miles around. Fragments of the ship
Gried past Baton Rouge, aud one Of the warehouses
was taken ashore at shat point.
Il il estimated that only sixtyRve officers and men
belonging 10 the Mississippi we're killed, wounded and
taken prisoners The officers and crew lost everything
except what they stood in
They saved nothing and left nothing in the hands Of
the rebels.
