THANK YOU.

With a pleasure that will be easily un-
derstood by anyone who has been fortu-
nate enough to secure commendation
from ones kind, we reproduce the fol-
lowing cordial expressions:

doubt that the credit Cor the repeal OF the

the gambling Law.
Thank you. THE NEws appreciate
these kindly words from its contempora-
ries. We claim nothing Of the success
Of the "righteous warfare against the
gambling law" except that that warfare
was made on general principle OF
morality, which we trust. distinguishes

which the management of this newspaper
proposes shall ever maintain in every

column of this newspaper. We make
no pretensions to superior virtue. We
do n6 propose to be even under the sus-
picion or indulging in cant. We are
neither prudes nor moralists. We are
running daily newspaper for the prime
purpose OF printing the news-always up
with and, as often as possible, ahead OF
our contemporaries. But we think we
know the difference between a hawk and
a hand saw. We think we are able,
on occasion, to brush away
the dross, to interpret underneath
sophistry, and distinguish between what
Is essentially right and what is essen
TALLY wrong-and, without having our
opinion stand or fall on any particular
dogmas or creeds. On the opening day of
the horse gambling al Narragansett Park
we came to the conclusion that the so
called horse racing was merely cover for
avicious thing. We listened to arguments
to the contrary, but we were convinced
that our conclusion was right. We
took glance over the records of horse
gambling as it had existed in New York
and New Jersey and we were convinced,
by the evidence or these records, that
it was hateful thing. a scandal and
disgrace, never mind what thoughtless
public support it may have secured.
We could not see any difference between
running horses around track in order
that bets might be made on the result
and twirling marble about roulette
wheel or sliding cards from the top of a
faro deck or drawing a number out Of
lottery wheel, in order that bets might
be made on the result of the dropping Of
the marble or the turn of the card, or
the drawing of the number. We
were convinced that if the people were
once brought to realize this fact that
was SO plain to us that
the public would protest as they have
protested against roulette, against faro,
against the Louisiana Lottery. So we
hammered away on that point and did
our best to convince people that there
was no difference, that it was all gamb-
ling. whether you called 1t horse racing,
roulette, faro or lottery-the good name
of horse racing being merely cloak.
The public investigated what we said
and demonstrated its truthfulness to
their own satisfaction. Then the pub
lie did the rest. The public sentiment
that we were confident would be
aroused, was aroused. The people
never acted SO promptly, so unanimously
to protest against piece of legislation
in the whole history of the State as they
did on the horse gambling law. THE
News claims nothing, except that hav-
ing convictions it did not hesitate to ex-
press them. And if it takes any
especial pride in the mattel it is because
it had the perspicacity, the newspaper
sense" we call it, to foresee not only
what was good policy, but what was
policy that would arouse spontaneous
popular endorsement.
Thank you.

STORIES OF HEROISM.
80. "a.

The Dra,dad On Jan. IL, 1868,
the Alabama won
Alabama her first honors in
T. D.xxr battle with United
III Ae' States ship of war.
Commander Semmes had laid his course
for Galveston in the expectation of de-
stroying fleet Of Union transports ru-
mored to lie there, but instead his lock-
out reported five vessels Of war lying off
the harbor. They were enforcing the
blockade, as Semmes soon discovered,
and not caring to fight under the cir
cumstances ho hauled away, pursued by
the Hatteras, an ironclad gunboat con-
structed from river steamer. The
Alabama apparently ran from her an
tagonist distance of 30 miles. Mean
while night closed in with no other
vessel in sight. semmes beat to quar-
tiers, prepared for action and wheeled to
meet his pursuer.
Captain Blake of the Hatteras was
first to hail. Receiving the answer that
the stranger was the British steamer
Petrol, he at the same time announced
his own vessel, stating that ho would
send off boat. Suddenly speaking
Trumpet was heard on board tho alleged
British Petrol calling out, "This is the
Confederate steamer AlabaanaP' The
announcement was followed by broad
side from the cruiser; but, sudden as it
WINS. it found the Hatteras ready, her
ports open and the men at the guns.
The vessels were sailing in the same di-
rection, about half mile apart. Re-
turning the Alabama's fire, the Hatteras
steamed ahead, movement initiated
by the enemy, so that the two continued
on parallel course, pouring full vol
leys into each other.
Captain Blake knew that his ship was
the weaker of the two in her hull and
steamed for the Alabama hoping to
end tho fight by boarding the cruiser.
He got within 30 yards of her, where
pistol and musket shots were exchanged
between those stationed on the tops, but
tho Alabama shecred off, planting at
tho same time two shells in the lDld of
the Hatteras and setting her ON fire in
two places. Another shell soon pierced
tho steam cylinder of the Hatteras and
disabled her steering gear and pumps.
The walking beam had been shot away
and her iron plating torn off at tho wa
ter line, causing bad leak Notwiih-
standing his plight, Captain Blake con-
tinued to fight uatil the Alabama stood
off tho bow Of the Hatteras, out of reach
of her guns. Finding that tho vessel
was rapidly sinking, he fired signal of
distress ard ordered the magazine flood
cd 20 prevent an explosion. The crew
then pat off in boats. and two minutes
later tho HGttoras went down.
The Alabama was tho superior vessel
both in guns and epeod. She was also
built for was, as the Hatteras was not
and oil her machinery lay below water
line. Tho only casualty on board of
her was one man wounded. On tho Hat
teras two scamcn wcro killed and Eve
