ONLY HALF AN ACREAGE

Heavy Rains Have Prevented the Seeding
of Grain.
DULUTH, May 2s.-All the grain re-
ceivers in this market have received re-
ports during the past week from all
over the hard wheat belt in North Da-
kota. Taken as whole, they indicate
that less than so per cent of the area
which was seeded at this time year
ago contains seed at this time. The de-
lay, of course, is due to the continued
wet weather that has prevailed.

the naval defense of New Orleans to
which Confederate can look back with
out feeling of disappointment, except
the magnificent courage and seamanship
displayed by Kennon in the Moore, by

The McRae was set on fire by Union

= Fire. Raft:

made directly for the Hartford: In sheer
ing to avoid the contact the Hartford
was caught in the current and drawn
under the guns Of the fort. The Confed-
crates recognized the flag officers pen
nants and opened fire. Meanwhile the
fire raft had been placed in front of a
powerful tug, which pushed the flaming
monster against the sides Of the Hart
ford.
Jets of flame soon streamed in at the
open portfolios, driving the Union gun
ners from their posts. The flames crept
up the rigging also, even to the mast
heads Seeing his men driven from the
guns by the smothering volumes Of
smoke and fire; Farragut called to them !:
"Don t finch from that fire, boys! Give
that rascally tug.a shot, and don't let
her get OFF,
The flames were extinguished by gal
LIANT use of the fire hose, and soon after
ward shot from the Hartford pierced
the boiler of the tugboat and sank her.
The engines Of the Hartford were then
reversed, and the flagship swung around
into deep water. Farragut said: 1t was
the anxious night Of my life. I felt as
if the fate of my country and my own
life and reputation were all on the wheel
Of fortune"

on the next hulk. LIEUT.. CALDWELL.
The strong current soon caused both
vessels to swing around under the guns
of the forts. The Pinola ran to the as
sistance Of her consort, and as soon as
his ship was free again Lieutenant Cald-
we'll steamed OH through the opening he
had made. Passing far enough beyond
the distractions to give the Itasca good
Roadway, he turned down stream with
a full head on, struck the chains holding
the hulks together and tore them asunder
by the weight Of his ship.
Some doubt having been expressed in
the Union feet as to the size Of the pas
sage thus opened in the distractions,
Lieutenant Caldwell started up the river
in a rowboat on the night Of the 23d to
reconnoiter. After pull of several
miles the lieutenant saw large fire on
the bank lighting up the scene around
the distractions. Crossing to the oppo-
site bank, under the cover Of the bushes
and trees, the boat was pushed on to
within 100 yards of the distractions.
The party was then under the walls Of
Fort Jackson, SO near that the voices OF
the soldiers Of the garrison could be
heard. From that point Lieutenant Cald-
we'll could see that the passage was still
clear, but to make doubly sure he pro-
ceeded to the gap, pulling across belt
of light in full view of the enemy. A
heavy lead line was then thrown out
and scundings taken to prove that their
were no submarine distractions, and the
boat drifted back to the feet.

sells, and my heart jumped into my
mouth when I found could not see
single one. Looking ahead, I saw II of
the enemy's gunboats coming down on
us, and I thought we were gone, sure. y
Bailey prepared to attack three large
steamers which were dashing at his ship
to run her down. One aimed at the
Cayqga's bow, another at right angles
amidships and the third on her stern.
An II inch Dahlgren gun planted a
she'll at 80 yards range into the Confed-
crate aiming amidships, Gripping her,
and she soon went ashore in flames.
The PARROT gun on the forecastle drove
off the Confederate coming up on the
bow. Boarders were called aft to attack
the third ship coming up on the Cayu-
gas quarter, but OPPORTUNITY the Va,
runa steamed to the aid of her consort
and crippled the third enemy with a
we'll aimed shell. In that fight the Ca
yuga received from guns aaoat and on
shore ~ shot. Her masts were shat
tered, the II inch Dahlgren dismount-
ed and the smokestack bored full Of
holes.
In spite of the wounds Of his ship,
Bailey steamed on at the head CT his di-
vision, and, after running past the rams,
gunboats and batteries, captured the
post at Chalmette, below the city, with
a regiment Of soldiers and all the guns.

the opening in the distractions opposite
Forts jackson and st. Philip. The
smoke was so thick that the Brooklyn
missed the opening between the sunken
hulks and brought up on the chain. An
anchor hanging on the starboard quarter
caught in the chain, holding the ship
under the enemy's guns. Some one with
presence of mind cut the hawser with
an az, and tho Brooklyn steamed on up
the river.
After passing Fort jackson the men
on the Brooklyn suddenly saw bright
light breaking through the clouds Of
smoke It was the Hartford, all ablaze
and in contact with the fire raft. The
Brooklyn stopped and swung around,
passing between the burning flagship
and Fort jackson. The fort opened with
terrible energy upon the Brooklyn, but
fortunately for the latter the shots
passed over. With her port broadside
the Brooklyn fired she'll and shrapnel
into the fort as fast as the guns could
be loaded and kept it up until Farragut
was free of the fire raft.
The Brooklyn passed Fort st. Philip
within 100 feet Of the bank, firing grape
with her starboard battery. During this
time Quartermaster Rollins stood in the
main chains heaving the lead. The
outside Of the ship near him was pep
pered with bullets, and the flames from
the enemy's guns seemed to envelop
him, but he stood coolly at his post, and
when abreast of the fort, with its guns
flashing in his face, he called out calm
ly, "Only three feet of water, sir.
Above Fort st. Philip the Brooklyn
encountered the ram Louisiana. The
ram planted 9 inch shell in the
deadwood of the starboard cutwater of
the Brooklyn. It penetrated three feet
and remained there. The Confederates
had not removed the lead patch from the
fuse, and the she'll could not explode

OFFICIALS TAKE ACTION.

Fi1ibuster Steamer Three Friends Es-

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. May 23.-As a
result of kilograms that have passed be-
tween Collector Bisbee and the treasury
department the steamer Three Friends
will be escorted beyond the Smile limit
by the revenue cutter Boutwell,. This
presumably is done to prevent the
steamer taking men on board. The
Three Friends has large cargo of arms,
ammunition and coal and provisions
sufficient for long voyage. Captain
Broward, her commander, gives Key
West as her destination.
The steamer Laurada arrived at the bar
but left again for sea. She landed her
cargo and men successfully on the coast
of Cuba last Tuesday.
