a little, the commodore tried to lay
her across the enemy's forefoot, but
he. having put up his helm, we ran
him aboard his port quarter. Before
the ships could be dashed, he drew
away and we lay in line ahead, and.

closer, and the battle recommended,
we giving and receiving terrible pun

we were within pistol shot of her,
when the enemy hauled ahead, ena-
bling the Richard to blanket the en-
envy. At this point the Alliance
ranged along our ~unengaged side and
opened fire on us, to our great aston
ishment and horror. We cried our
name and signaled TO her, but to no
avail. It was impossible she mistoOk

including Mr.. Caswell, she left us,
thanking God for her departure.
The enemy having lost way, the
Richard drew ahead and the commO-
dore promptly laid her athwart the
others hawse. The enemy now back
ed his aftersail, but only succeeded
in swinging into us as We ranged
along his "starboard side. His bower
anchor caught in our miZzen chains,
grapnels were also thrown, and in a
minute she was fast to us, the com
mOdore with his own hands, passing
the lashing. The enemy made des-
perate efforts to cut the anchor fas-
Jennings in the hope Of swinging clear,
but man after mar who tried il, was
shot down, the commodore himself
using the m%usquets of the marines
with great effect. The two ships re-
manned locked together and the fight
ing recommended again.
Below. the enemy had il all his own
way. Our gun deck was swept by
shot. so that the sides of the Rich
ard were literally broken to pieces,
and presently their shot sped harm
lessly out to sea. Above, however, we
had things our own way. Our French
marines and soldiers. of which we had
a great number, led by the commodore
in person, poured a terrific musquetry
fire upon the spar decks of the en-
envy, which SOC drove the survivors
in her crew below.
Now the Alliance again made her
appearance. We were in hopes that
she would fall upon the other side of
the enemy and thus end the battle,
But no; she deliberately sailed by her
and raked us again with her b~roadside
into our quarter, adding to the terri
bic damage we had suffered below.
She then drew of again and APP
preached us no more until after the
battle.

commonly regarded as the head of
possible navigation Of the Mississippi.
A United States engineer said today
that the big river is navigable for 400
miles above this city. To one having
only an outsiders knowledge of the
map of Minnesota, the statement is
surprising. Il is official, though, and
must be correct.
The reservoir insures excellent nav
igation to st. Louis at all seasons Of
the year. Water is stored during the
months of heavy rainfall and released
during the hot. dry months, when nav
igation under natural condition would
be uncertain, if not impossible.
Traffic handled by a regular line of
steamers is not large. There is a rail-
road on each bank of the river, and
some that are further away, but still
within the river freight zon These
lines, after the manner of their kind,
scoop in nearly all the freight in
sight. They have to carry il, how
ever, at reasonable rates. To do 9th
erwise would be to cultivate river
competition.
There are people in the country
north OF st. Paul who do not think
well OF the dams. One class would
like to get possession of the land

fast and was on fire. Some 200 Brit
ish prisoners in the hold were now re-
leased by the master alarms, under
the apprehension that we were sink
ing. They at once rushed for the
hatchways. The gunner became panic
stricken, and gained the quarter deck,
crying: "Quarter." The commodore
knocked him senseless with the butt
of mis- pistol and when the enemy's
captain, hearing the gunner's cry,
asked If we had struck, the commo
dore answei ed him: 81 have not yet
begun to fight" Whereat, those of
us who heard, cheered nightly, and
went at it again.
Meanwhile Lieutenant Richard
Dale. than whom no commander had
ever a better or a Drawer second, with
incredible presence of mind and re-
source, had got the British prisoners
to man the pumps and keep the Rich
ard from sinking. In this, the com
modore seconded him, and the orderly
had to shoot one OF the prisoners he
fore they would obey and get to the
pumps. This left the Richards men
free to continue the fighting. BY the
commodore's direction, the unhurt

1t is with great regret that I chron-
icle the further melancholy fate of
our nobN ship. 1t was so cut up and
wrecked, that in spite of every effort
it was impossible to save her, and the
second morning after the fight she
sank, going down bow foremost, with
the fine silk American colors under
which she fought, flying from her gaff
end. The commodore left the dead
in her, vowing they could wish no
better coffin. The prisoners say they
never met such desperate fighting. in
which our men agree. They say they
could sink us. but not conquer us.
True. America never will be con.
quered by Britain.
The course of the Alliance is much
%censured in the squadron, and it is
believed that her captain will be
court-martialed for cowardice and
treason and receive the fate he sc
richly merits. Had he been disin
clined to fight he yet had the help

d. O. Mills Objects,

Yesterday a piece OF news came to
Carson that indicates that after all
the proposed Hazen cutoff which
shortens the Southern Pacific route
and cuts Carson off the map, may not
be built.
d. o. Mills has stepped in and pro-
poses to protect his " road, the lit
tie V. & T., which is only tifty-two
miles long, but can be heightened
whenever Mills takes a notion.
The rond has been one Of the best
paying in the United States according
to its length and is o earning a
fine dividend for its owners. ID. o.
Mills owns the principle interest ard
has notified the Southern Pacific peo-
pie that if they build the Hazen cut
off he will extend his road down to
| Stockton to connect with the Santa
he.
This would throw all the travel and
freight of the V. & L. away from the
s. 2. and help the Santa Fe.
1t was rumored last evening that
owing to this declaration from Mills
that work on the Hazen cutoff had
been stopped.
1t is evident the Southern Pacific
will have to buy the V. q 7. and pay
Mills price II they propose to build
the cut.of.-Carson Appeal.

No Cause for Panic.

bad as reported. DIR. Lee, who went
