Naval Achievement.
New York. July 5.
BY the City of Baltimore we learn that
the pirate Alabama has been sunk by the
United States war steamer Kearsarce.
Nine were killed and twenty pirates
wounded.
The pirate left Cherbourg on the 10Th to
engage the Kearsarge. and attacked her
nine miles from Chcrbourg. The engage
ment lasted an hour AMI forty minutes.
Both vessels made seven complete circles
IN manouyeriDg. at distance of from a
quarter to half a mile The Alabama was
sunk. Captain Semmes and part of the
crew were saved by the English yacht
Dcerhonnd. Semmes was slightly wound
ed in the hand.
Before leaving Cherhourg the pirate lcf,
sixty thermometers. his specie and ransom
bonds there. No one was killed. and ONLY
thlee seamcn slightly wounded on the
hearsarge. She landed the wounded at
Cherbourg. The vessel sustained but
little injury.
Semmes declined public dinner at
Southampton, and went to Paris to report
to the Confederate Commissioner. Three
of the Alabama's officers and six of her
crew were landed at Cherbourg from a
French pilot boat. also several from the
British ship Action.
The Paris correspondence Of the Lonlon
Globe says the Alabama made two
attempts to board the kearSarge; but her
commander ont manouvered Semmes, anil
finally sent proicctile right through the
Alabama'S boiler; then, seeing what oc-
Cured. he brought all hi guns to bear on
the pirate in a concentrated broad,ide
from starboard. and made a breach of four
yards in length under her water mark,
when she began to sink rapidly.
1t Is stated that the kearsarge captured
6o of the officers and crew Of the Ala
hama. Semmes publishes statement
that he had nine killed and twenty wound
ell. He charges that the Kearsarge
continued firing after the Alabama had
struck her flag.

Lieut.. Geo. Ii. Briggs, of the 9th Ind
Battery. in letter to his parents in this
place. dated Big Shanty, Geo., June 81,
gives the following account of the way
Capt. Simonson was killed:
"On the morning Of the 10th inst. the
lines of the two armies Immediately in
front of our division lay about II 10 yards
apart. behind parallel lines of carthworks
Midway between these two lines was an
open field 800 yar1s in width. The woods
on the north edge Of this field was occu-
pied by our skirmishers. while the oppo-
sit side was occupied by those of the enc
my. Capt. Simonson found that by
planting battery on our skirmish line
that he could eniiade one line of the enc
my's earthworks, bnt it was impossible 10
work battery there without being behind
Notifications. as the rebel sharp shooters
would pick off the men as soon as seen.
1t was equally impossible to work men in
building the necessary earth works. unless
the rebel sharp shooters could be driven
from their position. or force. TO keep from
shooting; the latter Capt. Simonson I'M
dertook to carry out. For that purpose
our battery was placed in position behind
our line of earthworks coo yards from the
field, and covered by the woods. Capt.
Simonson then took twelve men and pla-
cling them 90 yards apart. behind trees
from the battery to the sllrmi>h line, thus
established quick line of communication
between himself on the skirmish line and
the battery. which could neither see or be
seen from the field. He then ordered us
to commence firing with one gun. sending
back word after every shot how we were to
direct the next one. Thus this brave man
stood among whistling bullets and coolly
directed our fire until every gun could
burst its terrible she'll right along the reb-
el skirmi>h line. When this was accom-
plished he tool, fifty men from the pio-
neers and set them to chopping logs in a
ravine back of the field and consequently
under cover. When logs enough hal
been accumulated lie ordered us to com
mence firing by battery, at the same range
and elevation as We had previously found
to Ice correct. and while the shells were
bursting around the heads of the rebel
sharp shooters 900 !, ard, in his front, eau
sing them to lay close in their rifle pits.
he commenced to run his pioneers with
their logs mp to the crest of the knoll. and
lay work that they could safely stani
behind to shovel. While passing fr1m
one tree to another in STOPPING position
to direct the work. rebel sharp shooter
caught sight of him and sent the fatal bul.
let that robbed him OF his life. The ball
entered just above the right temple. and
passing downward through the brain came
out at the back of his head, killing him in
stantly. Thus died as brave a man as ev-
er entered the army and it will be long
time before the country ~ill be able to fiji
his place"

FAIRBANKS SCALEs.-About thirty FIVE
years ago, the Messrs. Fairbanks invented
and began making platform Scales. which
effected q complete change in the manner of
doing such business as requires weighing.
and without which it would be impossible
to do the present immense amount of bust
ness In the country. Since then they
have given their constant personal attention
to the business, making all such improve
ments and adding suei, notifications as
their experience has shown to be desirable.
During this time many other kinds of scales
have been invented, and more or less tried
by the public, and mainly thrown aside.
while the business Of the Messrs. Fair
banks has steadily increased from year t.
year, their scales now standing higher in
public estim alton, and !. their sales
being very much larger than ever before
This shows very strongly the excellence
and durability OF Fairbanks Scales. -
