where the two irigates had lately foated;
the Minnesota aground few miles of;
and new and uncouth looking actor
entered on the scene-the Monitor
It had been discovered during the night
that the Virginia was leaking badly her
prov, which was under water, having
been wrenched oil, and there being sew
era shot holes in her hull below the
armor In spite Of this, however, when,
with daylight, the condition of the enemy
was ascertained, it was determined by
the commander Of the Virginia to attack
the Minnesota with the purpose Of de-
stroying her. Proceeding then to take up
her position as near to the Minnesota as
she dared venture without getting
aground the Virginia poured her fire
into that vessel at long range. To this
point the Monitor ventured out in order
to divert the fire from her helpless con
sort, and right nobly did she perform her
part
For two or three hours the duel was
kept up the two vessels SO close together
at times that person might have
stepped from one to the other. Once
the Virginia struck the Monitor with her
disabled PROV, and had not her en-
gines been stopped purposely, would,
without doubt, have passed entirely over
her. The Monitor finally retired in ST.
lence from the fight, and after that event
the Virginia kept up her FIRE on the Min
nesota for full half hour, without re.
ceiving any reply. Deeming that he had
done all that it was possible to effect at
such long range, the Monitor entirely out
of reach Of his guns, and the Minnesota
silent and apparently hopeless wreck,
the commander of the Virginia, after
consultation with his officers, determined
to return to Norfolk and repair the dam
ages received in the first days fight
This was accordingly done, leisurely,
and amid silence unbroken by the YES
sci that is said TO have caused the with
drawal.
1t was afterwards ascertained by pub
lished report of the commander of the
Minnesota, that had the Virginia contin.
ued her fire fifteen minutes longer, he
would have blown up bis vessel, which
he was, at the time, preparing to aban-
don. He was forced to this step, he says,
in effect, because the Monitor had re.
tired after failing TO dirert the fire from
him.
The report is on file at the Navy De-
partment, and if the Inquirer has any
disposition to tell the truth, it will be
consulted

Sabbath Meditations.

From tho Atlanta Intelligenccr.
That we live in evil times cannot
be doubted Iniquity abounds. Crimes
of protean shape stalk abroad unabashed.
The multiiudes seem to have forgotten
God. The broad, downward road is
crowded. Many from whom better thiHgs
might have been expected, have gone
away backwards Truly, this is for a
lamentation. And yet few regard 1t as
they should
1t was in view Of such state of things,
that the psalmist exclaimed: Rivers Of
yater run down mine eyes, because they
the muItitudes-keep not Thy law.
II must, also, have been from the depths
of his heart that be spoke; for his address
and earnest appeal we're directed to the
AlLseeing-the heart searching God.
