THE CAPTURE OF THE ALABAMA.

Malakoff, the reliable Paris correspon-
dent of the New York Times, gives an
account of the destruction Of the Alabama
which differs in some important particu-
lars from the accounts in the French and
English newspapers The Alabama did
not seek the fight in a fit of bravery, as
stated, but owing to the representations

It is our business to follow in the track

the bridges they burn to retard pursuit.
So closely do We sometimes follow, that
they are but fairly out of location till
we arc in. AS for instance, at Resaca,
after the battle there, they had only been
gone seven hours, when the Construction
Corps were on the ground with timber to
rebuild the still burning bridge. Their
dead were still lying in heaps unburied.
At Kingston they had been gone only a
few hours when the shrill whistle of the
locomotive dragging in its train, timber,
tools, and men, rang SO loudly as to be
heard by the still lingering, and reluct-
antly retiring, rear-guard. We are a
terrible trouble to them, as the bridge
they burn to-day to keep back supplies
from our pursuing hosts, is rebuilt to-
morrow, and the massive engine and train

forage for man and beast, and with hardy
men in blue. by thousands. pass in hour

60 to our work for three to fours hours.
In this way is the river spanned-every
man working with will. When there
is no bridge to build we take life easily,
but in that emergency, day and night are
both pressed into service.
In proof of this, mention the fact,
that the bridge here called High Tower
Bridge over the Etowah river which was
finished on last Sunday the llth, was 70
feet from the bed of the river to the
track, and $50 feet long, requiring 90
900 feet in length of hewn timber IL
K IL inches. besides the ties and braces of.
smaller timber The square timber re-
duced to board measure would be 264, 900
feet. Yet this was framed, raised, the
track laid, the engine across, in six days
and half. Ten hours is days work,
and when we work more than that we
draw extra pay. Work on Sunday, too,
in such cases counts day and half,
and so it loses its power as day of rest.
1t is necessary that the work be done,
and more, upon the completion of the
bridge here, the corps under the personal
direction of COL W. W. Wright, military
governor of the road, saw their locomo-
tive over the road to Altoona, Ackworth.

This is the section of the State set
down in the Biographies of thirty years
ago, as occupied by the Cherokee Indians,
from which they were driven in the days
of President Jackson, to the west of the
Mississippi river. Accordingly, this is
comparatively new part of the State, as
the existence of the primeval forest testi-
fes. The voice of the northern counties
was loud against secession, but it was
drownded at last in the noisy and hlat-
ant clamor for Southern Rights" OF the
counties farther south. raised by noisy
and crafty demagogues. Most previously
has she answered for the sins of others
for the country once 80 fair is now deso-
late.
From Chattanooga here is almost one
continuous battle ground. Lookout Noun
tain saw from her frowning and defiant
heights the fiery tide. and giving her
bosom bare to the flames, gave to Mission
Ridge at her very feet the word of en-.
couragement in an under key, that fired
her quiet slopes with bloody determina-
tion to take no rest unless as the reward
of victory. Chickamauga, winding about
her base, caught the enthusiasm, and
boldly met the issue. Ringgold, Tunnel
HILL Buzzard's Roost, Dalton, Resaca,
Kingston and Etowah, have received the
new birth the baptism Of blood. A
christening worthy the right.
These are the battles of the campaign
terrible in energy and desperation,
blessed in their results, even success, to
the right through its own merits.
