took place March 8, 1862.
In ashes did'st thou lie.
Thou gallant Merrimac
Whilst many heartfelt sigh
Fell or thy silent track.
We thought Of storm aud gale
Thou Q CIR hadst brayely met,
Nor could We but bewail
That e'er thy sun should set,
The ruthless foe that laid
Thy blackened form 80 low.
Ner dreamed thou couldst be made
A cause OF future woe;
In triumph they but laughed
To think that oil our toll
Had gained US but raft
Ha paught out useless spoil.
Phenix-like. with power
Thou art risen from thy sleep;
In dangers darkest hour
The mesd Of strength to reap
From out thy wat'ry grave,
Thourt sprung an iron ecd,
To plough tue mighty wave
And 'galnst the foe TO lead
Bravo hearts that ne'er did fail,
Bold hands that strike TO win
All we'll the foe may Quail
To hear thy wariise din.
Gods seal upon the set,
Leyiatnian thou art,
For where on earth Is yet
Thy dauntless connterpArtf
Whilst in the CORY light
Upon tho wat'ry brine,
Behold thine eye with light
burning lamp doth shine.
Thy breath enktndleth coal,
Thy nostril snorteth smoke;
Aye, lurid flames doth roll
The tends foul Threats 20 choke:
In vain thor missiles speed
Against thy iron sides
OF lead thou tak'st no heed,
For 10 10 is thy pride.
Between thy scales close sealed
No ball can come. no dart,
Their thund'ring engines yiold,
Can touch thy stony heart
With pennons floating high.
Thou mock'st their lightning sheen,
Tho tyrant's hour Is night
His setting star Is seen.
The morning saw the foe
Triumphant in repose,
But ere tho sunsets glow
A requiem arose
Tho " CUNT erland n-their 10y
Low In the oceans bed,
Her flag the ocesns toy.
Now lay with all her dead.

Bold victory hovers nearI

Your glorious work Is crowned,
List on the evening gallo
Is borne with thunder sound,

Who dared stir up thy strife.
Now rue tho dire attack
With death terrific rife

The hcrrimac thy name
Virginia gives TO thee.
Her own, with lasting fame.
On may thy trophies raise
Triumphant arches high.
A sign TO future days

THE BISHOPS COMBINATIONS.

Member on the Board.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
WILLIAMSBURG. Va, March Right
Rev. Assistant-Bishop A. nj. Randolph
confirmed class OF twenty-slx here to-day
nj Bruton- Parish Episcopal church. This
is the largest number confirmed at tins
church for many years and reflects great
credit upon the rector, Rev. L: ID. rage,
for his Jealous work. Before the solemn
rite of confirmation was administered the
Bishop preached q most interesting ana
impressive sermon to large congregation
from Mark first chapter and portion OF
the forty-ffth verse: And they came 10
Him from every quarter"
SUBJECT OF COMMENT.
The recent act of the lunatic asylum di-
rectors in abolishing the office OF store
keeper, which has been looked upon as a
most important position for many years,
thus freezing out Mr.. Brooks, staunch
democrat and most competent and faith
fnl official, is still the subject OF comment
on our streets.
DEEP GRIEVANCE.
Ii is not generally known but neverthe-
less a fact, and it is O matter OF deep
grievance to our people, that there IS not
a representative from the entire peninsula
ON the asylum board, which has never
been known before In the history OF the
A ylum. The Executive Committee should
be composed of local members, If for no
other reason than that of economy: and
lust why we, who have always been faith
full in allegiance to our party under the
most discouraging and adverse circum-
stances. should thus be ignored Is what we
are unable to understand.
FARMING RETARDED.
The recent continuous rains have re-
tarded the farming operations and made
the roads well-nigh impossible. But the
late cold snap has had the effect OF keep
ing back the blooming of the fruit-trees
aud thus preserving the fruit.
PERSONAL.
Misses Mary McCaw and Ella Moncure,
who are attending school in Richmond,
came homo last evening and were among
those confirmed at Bruton Episcopal church
this morning.
The Misses Powers. sisters of Mrs. Rev.
II. M. Page, and who have been visiting
here for several weeks. expect TO return to
their homo IN Clarke county Tuesday
morning.

PERSONAL AND GENERAL.

DR.. j. j. Crawford, q prominent citizen
of Dinwiddie county, has recently had a
large tumor removed from his neck. The
delicate operation was performed at the
North and the Doctor il reported to be
getting on remarkably well.
Messrs. w. S. Archer, John w. Stewart.
and T.. A. Pillow, three well-known citi-
zens. were yesterday taken 10 the asylum
at williamsburg for treatment.
The question has been mooted whether
the Republicans of Petersburg will put up
a candidate for the Office of city treasurer,
to be voted for at the May election. As
Petersburg Is now certainly and reliably
Democratic it IS hardly probable that q
Republican will be put up simply to be
knocked down.
This impression is that the Democrats
of Petersburg will nominate their candi-
date for treasurer by primary election.
DINwIDDIE POLITICS.
A committee of the Republican party OF
Dinwiddie county has been appointed to
wait upon the chairman, Mr.. j. G. Duane,
to ask HIM to call convention TO nominate
candidates tor the different county offices.
This committee IL TO report the result of
their mission on the 10th instant.
Special services for the colored people
will be held at st. Joseph's Catholic church
tomorrow Sunday night, at which Rev.

dtion to the State lecturer, each county

to thoroughly educate the public and the
