lapse of the Southern cause. Admiral
Semmes, standing on a gun carriage, de-
| livered the following address to his crew.
Officers and Seamen OF the Alabama:
You have another opportunity OF meeting
the enemy-the first that has been pre-
sented to you since you sunk the Hat
teraS. In the meantime you have been
all over the world, and it is not too much
to say that you have destroyed and driven
for protection under neutral flags one
half of the enemy's commerce, which at
the beginning of the war covered every sea.
This is an achievement of which you
may well be proud, and grateful country
will not be unmindful of it. The name of
your ship has become a household word
wherever civilization extends. Shall that
name be tarnished with defeat? Tho
thing is impossible. Remember that you
are in the English Channel, the theater OF
so much of the naval glory of our race,
and that the eyes of all Europe are at
this moment upon you. The flag that
floats over you is that of young republic
which bids defiance TO her enemies when-
ever and wherever found. Show the
world that you know how to uphold it.
Go to your quarters"
Capt. Winslow, the Commander OF tho
Kearsarge, accepted the challenge of the
Alabama, and 45 minutes after Admiral
SemmeS concluded his stirring address to
his crew and stepped down from the gun
carriage the action began. The ships ap-

ing past each other the opposing COM
manders each gave the same order, keep
ing a strong helm to port and fighting in
concentric circles toward a common CEN
ter, which grew more and more dimin-
ished.
Semmes, bareheaded, on the FOrse-
block abreast the miZzenmast, with his
glass in his hand, gave his orders in a
clear voice which rang above the roar OF
the awful conflict. On the Kearsarge
Capt. Winslow stood on his upper deck
and directed his battle, his voice being
heard between the br adsideS, cheering
his men. Once Admiral Semmes shouted
to Kells, his executive fficer: Give them
solid shot. Our shells strike and re-
bound into the water without sufficient
effect on the enemy
With it's decks covered with wounded
and dying the Alabama settled stern fore

with drowning men. Among those who

Just as the Alabama lifted her bows high
in air and went to the bottom was Tom
Spellman, the Cotton Belt section hand.
Along with his commander he was picked
up by the English yacht Deerhound. He
is one of the few living men who saw
Semmes throw his sword into the sea and
leap with the others of the survivors OF
the battle off CherbOurg, France, between
the Kearsarge and the Alabama.

as THE CABIN BOY SAW 1T.
The AIabama-KearsargeD Duel Told by Tom
Spellman.
Galveston Daily News.

Galveston Daily News.
Tom Spellman, a section hand on the
Cotton Belt route, who is at Waco resting
after hard work putting down steel on
the western end OF the road, told the story
of the destruction of Admiral Raphael
Semmes's battleship Alabama by the
Kearsarge In June, 1864, near the coast of
France, in the English Channel. Spell
man is in his SD year. He shipped on
the Alabama as cabin boy when she was
turned over to agents of Admiral Semmes
at Birkenhead, England, by the Lairds on
Aug. 20, 1852.
Mr.. Spellman, who is a genuine cold
SALT" gave a description of the Alabama,
which, during her existence afloat with
the ensign of the Confederate Navy at its
masthead, was the terror of the ocean to
the shipping OF the United States. The
Alabama was built in the Laird yard at
Birkenhead under the superintendence of
Capt. James ID. Bullock, of the Confederate
Navy. She was brigantine rigged, with a
maximum speed of Is knots, which was
fast time at that period. She went with
sails or with steam, or both. Her engine
was a 300 horse power with condensing
apparatus.
The armament of the Alabama con-
sisted of one Blakely 100-pOunder rified
gun, pivoted forward; one S-inch solid
shot gun, pivoted abaft the mainmast,
and six % Founders in broadside. The
crew consisted of i20 men and "A officers.
In leaving Birkenhead, as ruse, an ex-
cursion was organized to Terceira, in the
Azores, to which point a transport, loaded
with war material, had been sent. Ad-
miral Semmes and his officers met the
Alabama at Terceira. They sailed there
in the Bahama.
The excursionists, consisting of Eng
iish ladies and gentlemen, who left Biz
kenhead on the Alabama had been trans
ferred to tug in the Channel and sent
home, so that when the Confederate Ad-
miral took possession at Terceira he was
then and there ready for his career, and
there was no delay in getting down to
work. That which is common now was a
wonder then. The ship could hoist its
propeller, crowd on canvas, and go through
every evolution under sail, or She could
lower her propeller, and with sails furled
and yards braced, within two points of a
head wind she could go as a steamship.
Her combined speed was Is knots and her
independent speed was 10 to II knots.
The French Emperor, Napoleon ILL.,, de-
clined to allow either the Alabama or the
Kearsarge to go into dock at Cherbourg,
and both ships, being near that port, had
a battle, with the coast of France in the
vicinity lined with spectators. This Oc-
CURED in June, 1864, and Tom Spellman,
the Irish section hand, gave an account of
that naval duel which hastened the col

DjXle's Sunny Land,

Editor National Tribune: Much OF the
poetry OF the war had the sufferjngs Of our
veterans in rebel prisons for its theme,
and the "Wandering Poet of New Hamp-
shire'-a famous character among the
prisonerS-must alone have composed a
dozen or more songs OF this character.
One Of the best known is the following
OF which there are many versions:
DIxIE's SUNNY LAND.
Come, friends and fellow soldiers brave,
come listen to my song
About the rebel prisons and our soiourn
there so long;
Our wretched state and hardships great
no one can understand
But those who did endure our fate in
Dixie's sunny land.
When captured by the chivalry they strip
ped us to the skin,
But failed TO give us back again the value
OF a pin,
Except some dirty rags OF gray dIScdrocd
by their band
Twas thus commenced our prison life in
Dixie's sunny land.
With host of guards surrounding us,
each with a loaded gun,
We were stationed in an open plain, e1-
posed to rain and sun;
No tent or tree TO shelter us, we lay upon
the sand;
Thus side by side great numbers died in
Dixie's sunny land.
This was our daily bill OF fare in that Sc
cesh saloon:
No sugar, tea, or coffee there at morning,
night, o noon,
But a pint OF meal, ground cob and all,
was served to every man,
And, for the want Of fire, We ate it raw
in Dixie's sunny land.
We were by those poor rations soon re-
duced 10 skin and bone
A lingering starvation worse than death
you can but own;
There hundreds lay by night and day, by
far TO weak to stand,
Till death released their sufferings in
Dixie's sunny land.
We poor survivors oft were tried by many
a threat and bribe
To desert our glorious Union cause and
Join he rebel tribe.
Though ain were we to leave the place,
we let them understand
We had rather die than thus disgrace
our flag in Dixie land.
Thus dreary days and nights rolled by
yes, weeks and months untold
Until that happy time arrived when we
were all par0led.
We landed at Annapolis wretched look
ing band,
But glad were we to be alive and free from
Dixie's sunny land.
How like a dream those days now seem in
retrospective view,
AS we regain our wasted strength al
dressed in Union blue.
The debt we owe our bitter foe will not
have long to stand;
Twill be paid, and with vengeance, too,
in Dixie's sunny land.
The above is copied entire, prelude and
all, from an old scrap-book, and, l think, ,
came from the columns of The National
Tribune many years ago. Indeed, II
would seem there are many versions of
the same. send it to you that you may
