the civil war, says Harper's Weekly,
found him on the Cumberland, and in
that epoch of rapid promotions he was
made n first lieutenant. AS such, in
August, 1861, he took part in the en-
gagcmcnt at Hatteras inlet, when forts
Clark and Hattcras were captured,
while his captaincy dates from Novem-
Der of that year. In March, 1862, oc-
Cured the famous naval combat Of
Hampton Roads, during which the con-
fcderate armorclad Merrimac destroyed
the Cumberland with her iron PROV,
the good ship going down with colors
flying and her crew at their posts, firing
their guns as the water rolled over her.
Haywood, with the marines, had fought
the after guns, and nine of his men had
been killed at the Mcrrimac's first shot
Lieut. Morris, commanding the Cumber-
land, reported to Secretary Welles ''the
gallant conduct of Lieut.. Charles Hey
wood, U. S. M. c.. whose bravery upon
the occasion of the fight of the Merri-
mac won my highest applause"
After service on the Sabine and Ticop-
deroga, and at the Brooklyn barracks,
he was ordered to the flagship Hartford,
rs chief marine officer in Farragut's
fleet. Then he took part in the famous
battle of Mobile bay. Capt. Drayton,
of the Hartford, reported to Admiral
Farragut that 1.-The two after guns were
manned by marines, who, under the
command of Capt. Charles Haywood,
performed most efficient service; while
the admiral reported to Sec'y Welles
that ''it is worth mentioning that the
officer sent in command of the guard
for the capture of the Tennessee was
Capt. Charles Haywood, of the marine
corps, who was one of the survivors of
the Cumberland, sunk by Buchanan in
Hampton Roads. Although n modest
gentleman, Capt. Haywood could not
resist the opportunity of informing the
rebel admiral that they had met before,
and that he, ut least. was exceedingly
glad of the second meeting" After the
war Capt. Haywood received the brevets
of major and lieutenant colonel "for
distinguished gallantry in the presence
of the enemy" at Hampton Roads and
Mobile. His promotions to the full
grades followed in due course, and he
was second below Col. McCawlcy at his
recent selection for command.

pleasure, for they seem 10 indicate that our
people are interesting themselves in irriga-
ton for Texas.
As stated in our article referred TO. we
know nothing whatever about the vacuum
pump employed by Judge Speer. beyond
what was then published. Our article was
based on one appearing in the Florida

highly probable that parties concerned
might get themselves put upon the right
track by addressing Judge Speer, Oakland,
Orange county. Fla. The Judge (who, by
the way, has been figuring quite extensively
as candidate for senator, of late), is a
courteous and obiiging gentleman, and

about it not, as yet. generally understood by
those gardeners. The collard, he says, is 4
very hardy species of the cabbage family,
enduring the summer heat and drouth. re
sisting the attacks of insects and standing
out ell winter better than any other cabbage
This we all know well enough. While
tough in warm weather. he adds, the frosts
of winter make it tender and delicious
This we know also. While not al all need
ing protection. he continues, there is 4 way
Of vastly improving it By bending it down
TO the ground in winter and covering it
with soil, leaving only the tip sticking cut.
This bleaches it like celery and renders it
the most delicious member Of the cabbage
family on the entire list. 4 few weeks Of
such covering makes its leaves entirely
white and crisp. and as tender as a cauli-
flower. A collurd that has been so covered
becomes better than the finest cabbage
