DIR. Jones on Capt. Campbelrs Lee
ture.
, the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Please allow me 10 express my regret
that Captain Campbell. In his otherwise
admirable lecture at the Young Mems
Christian Association Hall tonight,
adopted the popular northern account or
the battle between the Monitor and the
Merrmac (Yirginia), which is utterly mis-
leading and erroneous.
Let any one interested compare the
statement of Captain Campbell with the
official reports of Commodore Buchanan
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS catesby
Jones, or the Committee OF the House OF
Representatives which investigated the
claim OF the crew Of the Monitor for
prize money. and rejected II on the
ground. that instead OF the Monitor
whipping the Virginia (Merrimac). the
latter whipped the Monitor. and they VIII
see that the account OF Captain Camp
bell Is I'm direct conflict with THESE.
The children who attend the matinee
tomorrow afternoon will ind that Cap
tain Campbell agrees perfectly with
Barnes. which they have been studying.
but II ls utterly at variance with the
real facts. j. WILLIAM JONES.

pressiye. and a brief but eloquent tribute
to the deceased was paid by Rev. Il. L.
Sweeney.
