ADMIRAL DAHLGRENs Personal BRAVERY.
Because Admiral Dahlgren was sea-sick in
rough weather, and never spent much of his
term of service at sea, many of the sea-dogs
in the service were wont to disparage his
personal courage. How unjust this was is
shown by the following statement from a
well-informed source:-In all the engagements
in Charleston barbor Admiral Dahlgren
commanded in person, making his head
quarters during the fight on board the lead
ing monitor, although he might have
directed the operations from his own ship
anchored out of range, or from the
comfortable quarterback of the New Iron
sides. But the Admiral believed in the moni-
tors, and his resolute choosing sometimes one,
sometimes another Of them for his tempo
rary flagship in all the earlier contests, when
many of the officers of these strange vessels
considered them quite as perilous as the
enemy's shot, was one example among many
which will occur to those who served under
him of his intrepid willingness, it may almost
be said wilfulness, in encountering the worst
he summoned others to encounter. One day
in May, 1864, two of the monitors of the
blockading fleet were ordered to take posi-
tion within short range of Fort Sumter and
open bombardment with shell. The boats
moved up, anchored, and opened fire which
was continued several hours. OF course the
fire was not returned from Sumter, but
from Fort Moultrie and the whole exten-
sive line of works on Sullivans Island tre-
mendous fire of solid shot, shell, and bombs
were poured upon the two adventurous craft,
the shot sometimes striking the turrets and
breaking in pieces, sometimes striking the
deck and ricocheting, sometimes striking the
water and covering the ships with falling
spray and continually flying past with shrek
| like nothing else. No vessels but monitors
could have remained anchored in the midst
of such fire several hours a day for three
days and been hoated off. 1t was during one
of these days that the Admiral in his open
! boat, and with his flag flying, was
! rowed from his flagship in the roadstead
/ below up to one of the monitors, on board of
which he remained an hour watching the
effect of the fire on Sumter, and departed in
the same hazardous manner, fortunately un-
! harmed.

SPIRITED WOLF HUM IN MIssIss1pp1.-A
few days ago several gentlemen of this county,
having bad some knowledge of the alarming
number of wolves in their neighborhood,
prowliDg about the country and making such
hideous and mournful howls at night, dis
turbiDg the peaceful slumbers of the quiet
inhabitants, concluded to go in search of the
midnight disturbers Of the peace, hogs, and
sheep. -Four of the Joneses, Mr.. Poole, and
Mr. f. @. Huff, were the gentlemen who
composed the hunting party. They started
near Mrs. Dixon's, and Middleton creek was
the scene of the excitement that soon fol-
lowed. The chase commenced with the
spontaneous outburst of hounds Joy, and
the surrounding forest fairly resounded with
the cheering shouts of the pursuing hunters.
For seven long hours the chase continued
unabated, during which time six wolves we're
killed and several dogs badly injured. But
they were still resolute, and if they did not
possess the tenacity of bulldogs, they mani
tested a whining disposition to ''go for the
wolves.
After approaching the den Mr.. Huff's S dog
entered in search of more game, and three
dead whelps was the result. But the fight
went bravely on, and it was soon ascertained
that the faithful dogs were having too much
of good thing in the den, and the hunters
readily determined to rescue them at all
hazards. Mr.. Huff being the smallest man,
he consented to enter. So he assumed the
character of Israel Putnam and entered the
"wolf's den" to rescue his dogs. Perhaps Mr..
Huff had some misgivings about this new ad-
venture, as he requested some one to heel for
him, or rather to hold him by the heels as he
descended into the hole. Well enough he
took the precaution, for the old mother wolf
was there, though he was not aware of it
until he had made his entrance. Mr.. Jones
performed the Office of heelman for Mr.. Huff.
So he entered. The distance being much
greater than was first supposed, some one was
compelled to heel for Mr.. Jones. The ad-
vance was made slowly and cautiously, but
when the scene of the subterraneous combat
was fully approached, Mr.. Huff caught one
of his dogs by the leg, and had his
request conveyed to the rear to back
out or pull him out. Jones heelman pulled
him; Jones pulled Huff; Huff pulled the
dog, and the dog pulled out young wolf
Israel Huff took the trophy of his exploit
home with him, but it died in few days
Had the mother taken part when the gentle
man entered the den, we imagine there would
have been some severe scratching on that
pan ticular occasion. However, the wolf hunt
ended with good results. We have been in
formed that the wolves are killing dogs and
sheep daily in that portion of the country.
While the dogs were running the wolves, a
dog that did not belong in the drive met the
wolves and was killed. When the hsnters
arrived at the den they found limbs of sheep
and hogs which had been carried there the
night before--enough to feast the hounds
after their chase and fight. We wish Israel
Putnam Huff success in his next adventure.

HOW IT VAS DONE.


God ct ll2 is good news TO almost every
one, except the gold gamblers Every IN
telligeat citizen viii agree that this deslra-
Bic condition Of our finaucial affairs has been
brought about By the policy Of, MOI oaly
promptly paying the interest, but also rap
idly reducing the principal of our national
debt. The most rampant free trader VII
admit this without hesitation, and applaud
the policy as the best ihst could possibly
have been adopted. But while he is ap
plaudiDe the policy be foreets that he ha-
been all The while opposing the principal
upon which that policg was based. The
immense revenue necessary TO carry cut the
policy Of paying off the debt, could only be
obtained BY levying heavy taxes upon our
manufactures, and those manufactures could
oaly be sustained ueder heavy taxation BY
high protective duty upon simiiar ula8gfac-
lures imported. The tariff in itself could
not have sufficiently protected our manufae-
tares # the gold premium had not also act
ed as an incidental protection. Under ,he
combiud favorable iufaence and protection
Of the tso, oar manufactures. particularly
Of iron aud Ro0len goods we're enabled TO
bear an extraordinary taxation. aud from
thea was derived very large proportion
Of he internal revenue by which we were
enabled to redeem our natieuaI credit. The
free trader rejoicing 10 the prospective
early return Of specie payment forgsts that
be has always bitterly opposed the very
poliey by which We have 80 Admiralty sas-
tanned our fnanoes. Without thar proies
ton 10 our manufactures. the immense rsve-
nuss could asver have been obtained and
We could neither base subdned the rebellion
nor have paid our debs. Free traders 10
day are advocating their ola doctrines and
endeaYoring to destroy this bulrark Of our
national finances. Abolish our protective
tariff to-day, as the free traders ask, and IN
one year the revenue would 50 fall of that
we would not be able next year to pay the
interest on our debt much less to pay $50
o00.o0o Of the principal as VIC fa7e done
The past year. Now if protection gave us
strength and prosperity in time Of war, if Ii
also enabled US to restore our finances from
a condition Of comparative bankruptcy
to one Of prosperity in the short space Of
few years, Why are We called upon 70 sbol-
ish it now? Tuat which enables US to pay
our debt and restore our credit should not
be abandoned without good cause It has
been the source Of our safety 10 the darkest
hours Of our country trial and if continued
