IN HAMPTON ROADS.
Pertinent Inquiry from a Participant in the
Monitor. Merrimac Fight.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I would like
to ask if it is not time that prize money should
be awarded to the officers and crews of the
several vessels that actually took part in the
battle with the rebel iron-clad. Merrimae in
Hampton Roads, March 8 and 8, 1862?
was an Acting Master and in command of
the armed tug Dragon, and was in the fight
from the beginning to the finish. My vessel
received shot from the Merrimae near the
close of the first days fight wounding num-
Der of my crew and myself. What became of
the bill for the relief of the officers and of
the Monitor in that fight; and why was the
Monitor alone selected for prize money?
The Merrimac certainly received her death
blow the first day of the fight. She lost her
ram in the Cumberland, and the heavy broad
sides from the Cumberland and Minnesota set
her leaking so badly that she had to draw out
oil the fight the first day, while the Monitor was
still on the Atlantic, although the Merrimac
came out the next day and gave the Monitor
pretty lively fight Considering the great
damage the Merrimae would have done by levy
ing contributions upon, or destroying either
New York or Washington or any other place
she started for, (for nothing could have stopped
her the first day. Congress should make a
very liberal award of prize money.-WILLIANd
WATSON, Westehester NJ Y.
INoTE.-The bills heretofore introduced in
Congress for prize-money have specified the
Monitor because the officers and men of that
vessel went to work Systematically for the pur-
pose. The whole matter hinges on the question
as to whether the Merrimac was of equal or
superior force as specified by the prize laws.

An Army Wedding.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: An old scrap
book brings to mind very funny story of
wedding during the war at Germantown, Tenn,
where my regiment was stationed, and as |
know the facts / concluded TO write them.
A Captain of the 9Th H. Cav. and Lieuten-
ant Of an Ohio regiment, also stationed there
made the acquaintance OF very charming
young widow, whose husband had beep killed
in the rebel army at Shiloh. Both the Captain
and the Lieutenant became infatuated with the
little widow and paid her devoted attention.
She was smiling and kind, accepted equally
their attentions and divided her time with
them; but the Lieutenant had a trife the ad-
vantage, because his regiment was stationed
much nearer her home, and he did not fail to
improve his opportunities. At last, feeling sure
Of victory, he proposed, was accepted and the
time for the wedding duly set. The guests were
invited, among them being the Captain and
everyone anticipated great time. The Captain
even then did not give up hopes, but, steal
ing march on the Lieutenant he went to the
widows house on the morning OF the day set fo1
the wedding, had All interview with her, and
the result was that the fair one eloped with him
70 the camp, where the Chaplain Of our regi.

they were married. The wedding party came

WHAT THE GIRLS NEED.-Mrs. Chaplin, in
the letter which was published yesterday
touches dclcatc!y but firmly Oh question
which is receiving the careful attention CT
mapy other thoughtful minds just now, and
also makes very clear the difficulty that girls
in South Carolina must have in obtaining
employment, so long as there is no thorough
means for giving them an education in those
callings which are at the same time most
suitable for them and can be made profta-
bic to them.
The whole subject is presented in plain
and practical light i'll the simple statement
which Mrs. Chaplin makes, that she receives
scores of letters from girls asking her to
help them &c, situations as teachers, but
whom she could have obtained frst-ratc po-
sitons for boOkkecpcrs, for instance, she
has had TO supply the demand by sending
10 an industrial college in a distant State
and that South Carolina girls are now seek
ing admission 10 a college of the same kind
in a neighboring State.
The interesting matter which is thus fore
IDLY brought to notice again, of training
young girls so that they shall be indepcn-
| dent IN life and not lie compelled to regard
marriage. on any terms, rs the chief end OF
| living. will have particular attention from
| The Sunday News, and il is intended next
