"FIAT JUSTITIA, RUAT CELUM.'

"F1AT JUSTITIA, RUAT CELUM."
Mr.. EnrroR:-As there seems to be a
general feeling of dissatisfaction with the
conduct of Admiral buchanan in the ma
val engagement off Fort Morgan, think
it bnt fair and just, a fact generally un-
known, but which in great measure con-
tribnted to the disaster, should be made
fully known in vindication of his course.
Admitting all that has been said about
the "Tennessee," her thickly coated shield,
powerful ram and heavy armament. still
there is one defect not mentioned, which
was her weak point and the principal
cause Of this noble vessel striking her col
ors. Her tiller ropes, or more explicitly
speaking, rudder chains, were exposed
from her rudder head, along her transon
and quarters to her shield; to conceal this
from view, a hollow semi-circnlar piece of
cast iron, abont an inch in thickness, was
placed over it. This, of course was no
protection against the shot and shell of the
enemy's men Of war; but this was the
fault of the contractors and constructors.
not of the naval officers.
Such was her condition when she went
into action, in which she gave so good an
account of herself until she ceased to obey
her helm. After the flimsy covering was
knocked to pieces, hersteering gear became
visible and was soon shot away by the
belching cannon Of the Northern fleet:
then as necessary consequence, she was
both ungovernable and unmanageable.-
With her smokestack and her escape pipe
RACED even with the grating of her air
ports, and her gun deck filled with smoke
and steam, she would still have been able
to continue the fight, or retreat under the
guns of Fort Morgan, had her helm been
in working order. But the willy Federal
Admiral, perceiving his advantage, and
closing his ships around his iminovable
foe, as she lay (being a propeler) unable
to manenvre or stir, pours broadside after
broadside, in quick succession, into her
with viii telling and deadly effect, while she
still defiantly sends missiles of death and
destruction amidst her numerous assailants
from her fixed position.
Yet this is only desperation, the inevi-
table result Of the contest is apparent to
all.
It must indeed have been CALLING to
those brave hearts, who hoisted the signal
OF "dont i've up the ship!" entered the
light SO CALAMITY and bore themselves SO
vel, to find their vessel rendered helpless
and themselves in the hands of their ad-
versaries through the fatal oversight of in
experienced ship builders. Their situation
was now for!orn and hopeless They must
now very soon sink and all hands perish
or or surrender. The skill and proves of
Nelson could not save them. In this trv-
ing hocr, suffering agonizing pains from
his wound, and Indifferent of self, yet with
that regard for the lives of the men placed
under lis charge which every commander
should have, the lion hearted Admiral re-
lnctan.ly displa ys the white flag. Soon

MEssRs. EDITORS We had the pleasure on yes
terday of witnessing the organization of an assoca
ton of Ladies Of Johnston county, to be known as
the Johnston County Hospital Supply Assoca-
ton. The object of this association is to procure
ard forward supplies to our sick and wounded in
the Hospitals As it is matter of unusual inter-
est to us, We would beg small space in your COL
umns to say one word in the way Of Encouragement
Arrangements were made, and we have no doubt
will be fully matured, for visiting all parts and
neghborhoods OF the county to solicit contributions
Of such articles as are mostly needed by the sick.
We could just here ask not only Of the citizens Of
Johnston, but of all throughout the broad domain
of our country-why are these soldiers in circum-
stances that require and demand our aid why are
they in Hospitals, pierced and broken with wounds,
haggard and emaciated by disease? These hounds
toere received defending US. Those constitutions
have been shattered and healths ruined by diseases
contracted from exposure in camp, and standing at
the post of danger as lonely sentinel, watching
the enemy, while we slept comfortably at home.
But who are they? Are they strangers and
aliens! Nay, verify; they are our fathers sons,
dren. Then shall they, oh, shall they anguish,
pine and die in Hospitals for want of such articles
as we nave at home, and could without inconye-
nience spare them? These articles must be col.
lected and forwarded by their friends at BONE
Where is the heart so cold that would drive FROM
MS door poor helpless human being though even
an enemy, into the cold to suffer and die. How
much more readily then should we place in the
hands of those who are wiling yea anxious to take
to your own dear friends in the Hospitals, some of
the supplies that you have and which they can get
nowhere else?
Some may ask why the officers of the Hospitals
90 not send out their own foragers to purchase and
secure these supplies that are so necessarily We
would answer, that they do send ont IN all direct
ions, and procure great deal, but they can't meet
the absolute necessities of half Nor can 1t be done
but by the united and continued effort of all.
great many have been imposed upon by Shylocks
and extortioners running over the country buying
for speculation under false pretences so that many
absolutely refuse to sell at high prices to hospital
agents. Then place the articles in the hands Of an
Association of your own neighbors where you can
feel assured they will certainly go to the sick and
wounded. We have seen the managers and stew
ards of most of the hospitals, and our heart has
been filed with joy to learn Of the good that has
been done through and by the active efforts of the
ladies, and bearing and distributing with their own
hands, such delicacios as lady only can prepare.
Surely future generations shall rise up and call
them blessed Then let US, as good citizens gener-
orally, encourage and help the noble women of our
country in their effort to do good Tender and
lovely woman, how would the world get on without
you! RELIEF.
