TO the Editor OF tho Dispatch:
In your Confederate column recently
is an article from the New York Times,
which does the Confederate naval
squadron engaged in the battle or MO
bile bay, August 5. 1863, gross injustice.
The article commences thus: Just al
tar the passage Of the Federal fleet
through the narrow channel that led
under the numerous guns OF Fort Nor
gan and into Mobile bay, the Confederate
vessels that formed the second line or
OF defence scattered in various dlrec-
TONS" Every man on either side en-
gagged in the fight knows this last state
nent 10 be utterly false. Just so soon
as the Federal feet passed the Fort
Admiral Buchanan, on the nasship
Tennessee, advanced to attack IL, ana
fought at close quarters as long as
they would fight. The enemy stopped
fighting. steamed up the bay beyond
range OF our guns. and anchored. we
held our position. / heard both Con-
federate and Federal officers comph-
menti Captain Pat. Murphy, OF tho
Selma. for the gallant fight he made.
The diving words OF poor Murray,
mere boy, killed on the Selma, would
not seem to indicate that the men IN
tha naval squadron would be likely TO
scatter when a fight came on. 80 iar IS
this from being true, so soon as 'ho

same transactions. Especially would we
place in opposition another distinguished

terms of liberal praise of the South, and
of the Confederate Government and peo-

of the views Of Confederate survivors
upon the subject OF mingling the Blue

The views expressed are natural and

occasions where the pleasure Of minsling
