WAR HISTORY PAGE.
ONE THAT HAS NEVER BEFORE
BEEN WRITTEN.
Terrible Destruction of Norfolk Navy
Yard Is Said to Have Been Both I'm
necessary and Unwise-PO wcrfui W a r
Engines Might Have Been Saved.

A few weeks ago | read with great
interest an article giving the early his
tory of the Norfolk Navy Yard. | was
a drummer-boy on United States man
of-war, the Pennsylvania, in 1861, ly
ing in that yard the day the war broke
out. Although but IL boy. ! was keen
observer, and | thought then and still
think that there was no need what
ever of destroying the Norfolk Navy
Yard, and that many powerful ships
of war could easily have been saved
as well as many guns that fell into
the hands of the Confederates.
think that If this famous four mile
square yard, with its many powerful
vessels and valuable material. had not
been destroyed, the war could not have
been prolonged by the Confederates for
so many years.
To my mind the burning of this navy
yard, while the second event of the
war of the rebellion, was really the
most important event. On the day
Fort Sumter was fired ON there was in
tense excitement in the yard. particu-
larly on board the receiving ship Penn
sylvania. She was rated a 144-gun line
of battle ship, with four rows of port
holes, and every one of her guns at
that time was Shotted as soon as the
news reached US. Orders came to Com
modore McCauley, the commandant Of
the yard, to burn, blow up and destroy
all the buildings and their contents
and the ships in the river. and be ready
to evacuate the place upon the arrival

said that the Merrimac was scuttletf.
If she had been blown up, as We're the
| others, her hull would have been de-
strOyed by the fire or by explosion. All
of her splendid machinery was pre-
served. On the way down the river, on
the Pawnee, from whose deck the sig
nails were given to fire the trains, | was
very near the officers and heard them
talk over the work Of destruction, and
nothing was said about orders having
been given to scuttle the Merrmac. II

we heard of the Confederte ram Merri.
mac, that if she had been ordered scut
tied while all the other vessels were
blown up, the officers would have said
something that day.
Word was sent by released prisoners
that if a shot was fired from either sidd
passed down both the towns of Nor
folk and Portsmouth would be laid in
ashes. The Pawnee arrived with o
regiment of soldiers, who had moth.
ing to do bit to stand guard and load
the powder on the Pawnee. Some of
the idle ones set fire to one of the ship
houses before it was time. and it took
two or three hours to put out the blaze.
The soldiers We're then put below, and
the matches battened down. They made
a terrible racket, but they had to stay
there. The Pawnee carried away big
load. She had the regiment, n deck
load of powder, the sailors and ma
rines of the Pennsylvania, the marine
guard of the navy yard and her own
crew. The fire on the Pennsylvania
discharged the shotted guns. and the
starboard ripped into the yard, and the
port battery pounded the island of st.
Helena. The general confagration
was terrible scene. The memory Of
the noise Of the guns, the cracking of
the buildings on fire, the monster ship
houses in flames, and the shooting up
into the sky of great streams of fire
will never fade from my mind.

Tinkcriny the Currency.

just in what shape the currency
question will come before the next Con
gress is not yet determined by the Re
publican ''reformers.'' That matter
will be governed largely by political
considerations. Mckinley wants to be
renominated, and, of course, hopes to
he reelected President The st. Louis
Republican platform pledged him to
bimetallism. His party has been doing
all it could to secure gold monOmetal-
lism. The currency tinkers at Atlantic
City have evolved n scheme which will
contract the currency by impounding
all the greenbacks paid into the ma
tiOnal treasury. and which are not to
be paid out except for gold.
But the business of the country will
not patiently endure a contraction of
the currency. The tinkers know this
and have suggested that the national
banks be allowed to issue notes to the
full value of the bonds deposited to Sc
cure such issue, instead of 30 per cent.
only, as at present Another suggestion
is to allow the establishing of new ma
tional banks with n minimum capital
of 5000 instead of the $4,000 now re-
quired.
But all these propositions may be dis
regarded by Congress. as the main
thing is to boom Mckinley. who has
no earnest convictions whatever on the
money question.

Dixie in 1857 and 1868,

''By the way" said the Colonel. mot
long ago l saw Billy Lawrence, one of
the original Emmett or Bryant min
strels, bOssing job of street paving
here in Chicago. 4 friend strolling
with me recognized Lawrence and
learned that he was foreman for one of
the asphalt paving companies and
greatly interested in his work. / re-
membered Lawrence when Emmett's
minstrels held the boards in 1857 or
1859, in the old hall on the lot now occu-
pied by the building. Nos. 100 and 122
Randolph street There were in the
company at that time a dozen men who
afterward became famous.
There was Daniel Emmett. himself
Frank Lombard, Billy Lawrence, Bob
by Newcome, Billy Birch, II. II. Sitter,
Llewellan, the harpist, and others
Newcome was making a reputation
then with his Essence of Old Virginia.,
and 1t was while the company was
playing here. in 1857, l am almost sure,
that Emmett wrote, and sang for the
Dixie Land Some of the fellows tell
another story about the origin of the
popular Southern song, but this Is the
Emmett version.
Il heard Emmett sing the song scores
of times before the war, and then it
dropped out of my mind But one night
in 1868, while on scouting expedition,
| came up in the rear of large camp.
My impression was that the troops be-
longed to the Union army, and that all
| had to do was to march in and report.
The impulse to go forward to the pick
cts was strong upon me, when n band
began to play Dixie First one voice
and then Il hundred took up the words.
and the mountains about me rang with
the gladness of men who considered 1t
g. privilege to live and die in Dixie
"Emmett's voice and manner came
back to me. The old hall on Randolph
street seemed only across the hill. But
made myself small by the side of a
log. Dixie was as sweet as when
was a boy with other boys who went
out with Ellsworth. but it was now like
the war cry of an enemy. | knew
that the camp was filled with men,
who, if they caugh; me, might hang lne
as il spy, and with Dixie ringing in nv
ears. | ran off into the woods.''-Chi-
