CHARLESTON, November l. The

been from two monitors. > heavy and

inch mortars ut the middle battery and

they fired 4l3 riAed shot, 81 from tne
monitors, and 81 from the mortars.
The mortar fuses are cut so as to ex-
plode the shell in a second or two after
the report. On Saturday night 20 riff
ed shots were fired and 80 mortar
shells. The fire at the land batteries
was directed chiefly on the southwest
angle of the fort. The flagstaff was
carried away twice, but speedily replac.

the flag OF the 18th Georgia was used
instead. The casualties on Saturday

three excellent baths, and now passen-

Temptntion TO Dishoneatr,

There are temptations to dishonesty
that spring from extravaganza. Our
society is very vicious in its whole
structure in this regard. We make no
provision for the responsibility ofpeo-
pie who are in humble circumstances.
We hold out inducements to them to
live beyond their means. In Europ-
can society people that are intelligent
end refined can entertain their friends
in plain room, with plain furniture,
and treat them to plain repast, and
nothing will be thought oft. A Ger.
man will invite his friends to come
and see him, and they together will set
in common fellowship and in pleasant
conversation, and make their repast
from a loaf of bread and pitcher of
water, and there will be no thought
but that the host is respectable. And
| think that if loaf Of bread and q
pitcher OF water were. a more frequent
meal, there would be less dyspepsia.
In Europe they are not ashamed to
live plainly, even for economic reasons,
and men respect each other for it. But
in American society we have vicious
to ldency to make men ashamed to live
within their means. They say: 81 will
not have company unless | can have it
as my neighbors do They are slaves
to other peoples opinions. They have
not courage to say, ''this is my place,
here are my means, and can afford to
entertain my friends in my way; but if
they cannot come to see me as l am,
they need not come at all.
Young people want to begin further
along than they are able to. They want
to keep house as twenty years of suc-
cessful and fruitful industry have en-
abled men to doit They measure ev.
erything on the pattern of somebody
else. There is a want of self respect
founded on ones good breeding and
fundamental honesty. Extravaganco
is almost invariably married to dishon.
esty.

The Immensity Of the Great Eastern.

The novelty of the Great Eastern
has passed away, but the ship is, in it.
self, as much wonder as ever. She is
now in New York, after her eighth
voyage across the Atlantic, and wr-
ter in the New York Herald gives an
interesting sketch of her from which
we quote the following, as giving bet
ter idea of her mammoth proportions
than can be had by amere enumeration
of statistics regarding her length
breadth, &c. ..
Like the Pyramids she seems rather q
great work ofnature than athing made
with hands. Numbers in feet and
inches are of no assistance in the at.
tempt to understand her size. Every
link of her great cables weighs seven
ty-two pounds; she carries four thous
and Of such links, as much iron us two
hundred carmens carts could carry,
forged into the single item of chain ca.
bic by iron tools. There is one engine
ofsiXty horse power. whose only busi.
ness it is TO manage these cables and
the hooks at the ends of them. These
hooks, anchors, if you prefer that
name-with which the great ship tum-
bles about in the deep, for the granite
formations, the ribs of an antcdiuvian
world, to hold fast by, were also made
with tools and have some weight OF
their own. There are fonr of these
If one was cut into seven pieces, each
piece would be load for one of the

General Gillmore's 800 FOUNDER to
throw one of these anchors from Nor
ris Island into Charleston city. The
four great anchors of the Great Eastern
would make one hundred and eighty
six OF those pills, Oh! that they might
fall on the toes of jeff. Davis. ...
Beside the four anchors which VIC
have thus reduced to pills and popular
appreciation, the Great Eastern has
six other anchors for ordinary occa
sions, and not so large.
Similar heavy jobs to that of the
anchors are divided among the differ
ent steam engines on board; for, in ad.
dition to her crews of engineers and
sailors, this Great Eastern has com
plete crew of steam engines. These
fellows are notoftcn mustered on deck
but they are kept in mono the less ex'
cellent order for that. They number
just thirty-three, Now, thirty-threc
steam engines not only require very
large number of tools to make them
but, being made, they can do an I'M

sorts of chores-lift heavy weights

themselves generally useful. We num-

number at three thousand.

Show me the sangreal, Lord! Show me Thy blood
Thy body and Thy blood! Give me the Questl
Lord, am faint and tired my soul is sick
or all the falseness, all the little aims
The weary vanities, the glsping oys,
The slow procession of this satate world!
Dear Lord, burn for Theel Give me thy Quest
Down through the old rcverberating time,
I,see Thy knights in wonderful array
Go out to victory, like the solemn stars
Fighting in courses, with their cOnquering swords;
Their sad, fixed lips of purity and strength,
Their living glory their majesticNieath
Give me Thy Questl Show me the sangreal, Lord
He Law upon mountains rocky crest
So high, that all the glittcring misty world,
Allautumns splendid tempests lay below,
And sudden lightnngs quivered at his feet;
Sostal, not any sound Of siientncss
Expressed the silence, nor the pallid sun
Burned on his eyelids; all alone and still,
Save for the prayer that struggled from his lips,
Droken with eager stress. Then he arose.
But ALWAYS down the hoary mountain side,
Through whispering forests and sott-rpplcd streams
In clattering streets, DER the great city's roar,
Still from his neyer-sated soul went up,
"Giye me Thy Quest! Show me the Sangreal, LordP
Through all the land there poured atrumpets ciang
And when its silver anger smote the air,
Men sprang to arms from every true mans home'
And followed to the field. He followed, too
All the mad blood of manhood in his veins.
All the fierce instincts Of warning race
Kindlcd like flame in every tinging limb,
And raging in his soul on fire with war.
He heard n thousand voices call him on:
