AMERICAN VICTORY.

The naval fight that took place
at Manila, in the PHILIPPINE Is
lands, Sunday last was a complete
victory for the American fleet
commanded by Commodore George
Dewey.
Nine of the Spanish vessels
we're destroyed, while none of the
American ships were seriously da-
mayed.
The Spanish ships destroyed
are: Velasco, sunk; Antonio de
Ulloa, sunk by shell; Isla de Gu
ba, scutted to avoid capture; Isla
de Luzon, sunk; Reina Christina,
burned; General Lezo, scuttled to
avoid capture; Villabolas, sunk;
Castillo, burned; Don Juan de
Austria, blown up.

hour is shown by the interview
we refer.
Gen. Gordon shows that the best
way to save blood is to deliver a
powerful blow at Havana imme-
diately, and not wait till the next
winter, give the Spaniards time to
fortify it deliberately, and then 60
about reducing those defenses in
the leisurely fashion which would
prolong the war two or three years.
Gen. Gordon is a typical soldier,
typical Southron, and a typical
American patriot. As he feels, SO
feel hundreds of thousands whose
words are not sought as eagerly
as his. As he thinks and speaks,
SO think and speak hundreds of
thousands whose readyguns would
conclude the campaign before the
plan of it had been drafted. AS
he will act if called to action, so
will act hundred of thousands who
will follow him to the battle to-
morrow If allowed to do so. The
resurgent South is to-day in spir-
it in the forefront of the fight.
Let our readers ponder the
,weighty words of their veteran
chief and greatest living hero.
They will not have to frame apo
logies for him. Their only desire
will be to go with him to Havana.
Their enthusiasm, like his, is yet
young, Notwithstanding the lapse
of years since their release from
the active duties of the field. The
spirit of the soldier never grows
old.

Yesterday the Senate passed
without debate the bill providing
for the enlistment of 10000 i'm

to the $4,000 volunteers included
in the Presidents call for troops.
The bill, it is said, will be prompt

it reaches that body. The 10000
immunes from the South will be
organized into regiments ON bri-
gades as soon as the President
signs the act, and it is quite pro-
bable that Southern men will be
appointed to command the briga-
des, because a number of COME
derate veterans who were officers
in the Confederate army and saw
four years of hard service in the
armies of Northern Virginia and
Tennessee have asked to be pla-

there is reason to believe that in

number of them will be appointed

"The best way to avoid loss of

crush the Spanisrds at blow and

That is what the veteran leader,
Gen. Gordon, said to the agent of
the Associated Press, as reported
elsewhere in these columns.
The enthusiasm which has been
evoked by our suggestion that
Gordon should be appointed
Major General and placed in COM
mand of the Southern troops, the
promptness with which it has been
Endorsed by the important organs
of public opinion both North and
South, without reference to party,
and, above all, the universal feel
ing that We need at the present
time man of action to lead us to

eral popular conviction that the
