Indeed. they will never know that our ga
criRces cost anything or are really worth
anything, if what We gain is to be trans
mitted to posterity free and unembarrass-
ed.
To attempt to fight this war through
without mourning . large fixed debt, will
be both folly and an impossibility. To
exhaust onr'blood and our means, to hand
over to our children foundation . build
upon. without the means Of building, will
be an inheritance for which they cannot
thank US.
We admonish the Sentinel and all who
sympathize with it, that the country 10

The subtraction from the couatry Of oas
half OF its available labor and resources
consumed In fighting the foe for the last
three years and more, can but impoverish
the country. We do not believe that the
Confederate tar OF 1864 can be added to a
dsllar with safety; so far from il the tar
should be reduced one fourth or mere.
Since the tar was laid, the means Of the
country have vastly lesssncd. and without
material change for the better. one year
more will witness astill greater reduction.
Let fair. uniform tar be laid 10 meet the

government aisng. That will be enough.
Let the future provide for itself. At least.

it is thought the Yankees failed to blow up
the Albemarle through a defect in the tor
pedo.
They Immediately swung round their
boat again and were coming down upon
the Albemarle's bow when they were again
asked. /. What boat is that9" The reply
was. you will Did soon see" and on the
instant the Abemarls was struck and the
torpedo exploded. BY this time the alarm
was general throughout the ship. and the
men rushed to arms and made for the out
side Of the armor. where they wero met by
one or two volleys. of grape from howit-
zsr in the Yankee boat. The Albemarle's
men commenced rapid fire all araund the
ship. but they could see nothing of the en-
envy in consequence Of the darkness. II
was soon now ascertaned that Che torpedo
had had the intended effect, for one OF the
bows OF the AIbemarle was stove in and she
was rapidly settling down. In the mean.
time the Yankees. in their confession. got
their boat in the midst of some logs. fixed
around the Albemarls for her prstec ton,
and being unable to extricate her. the
whole party, with the exception Of the
Captain in command, surrendered, torpedo

Of the Albemarle suffered more than a few
slight wounds. Three Of the Yankees are
said to have been wounded. They are re.
