The convention being at such a distance. we are pleased that at least two of the ladies, Mrs Eiza Banks and Mrs. John Bradford, will at- tend. Other business before the meet ing was the several amendments pro- posed to the constitution of the U. D. c. and some amendments to the by laws They were carefully read and compared with the articles as they are and the proposed Amendments After ldue consideration, it was thought wis., est to leave our representatives unin- structed and to do what seemed to be the best or as the majority of the con- vention desired, being matters wholly pertaining to General U. D. c. busi- ness, The same Action was taken with respect to the election of officers for the next ye9r.
 The chapter was pleased at an invi- tation addressed to 'the members of the Cradle of the Confederacy Chapter, U. D. C." from Miss Julia Knox Wheel CT. to her marriage in New York to Mr. William Julien Harris. She Is sec ond daughter of General Wheeler and with her three sisters, have been mem bers fin good standing" of our chap | ter for years. Mir. Harris is an army oficer and we are proud of the fact he is an AIsbarnian. There had been no meeting of the chapter since the invi- | tation came, hence the delay in ac- knowledginG 1t. The secretary was instructed to do so with congratula- tions and best wishes for their future happiness Before the meeting ad- journed, one of the gentlemen connect ed with the amusement department at a park asked the privilege of submit ting a proposition for patriotic evening" in the way of fireworks, the pieces to be Confederate generals and monument on Capitol Hill, etc, to give part of tho proceeds to the Daughters of all the chapters here, for the benefit of the Shiloh monument. The ladies are to consider the proposition and may have 1t at an early date. The His toric Committee. through the chairman Mrs. Harris Gunter, submitted a fine prospectus for the coming year. IL was accepted with thanks.
 The chapter regrets not having been able to send report. of the very inter esting and important meeting in May after the delightful convention Of the division in Mobile, but the circum. stance of changed editors and officers delayed the opportunity until the sum.

herself by proving to her children that she made this terrible issue in an un- questioning conviction of duty to maintain inviolate those principles Of constitutional liberty inherted from her great ancestry; she has proved that this attempt for constitutional liber- ty was no unworthy effort; she has shown that there was not stain which the day of battle did not wash away in blood. For this vtndication, she has always held up the glorieS Of her dead" she has told that the gal lant deeds and dauntless daring Of ner sons cleared her great defeat rom shame and gave dignity to her disas" ter. So it seems meet and right Tor Alabama to repeat again and again the story of these heroic deeds on land and sea.
 And where shall Alabama look for deeds of daring, if not to her city on that vast gulf which laps her southern strand7 For around Mobile, the Gulr City, cluster such tales of gallant ex- ploits, of seaman-like skill and daring, of marine raids by adventurous hunt CTS and fishers as were never before sung in song or told in story. For the tropical waters of the Gulf were the arena of naval warefare from early In the sixties until the conflicts cuimi- mated in that struggle of giants, the Battle of Mobile Bay.
 In January, 1864, Admiral Farragut began feeling his way toward an att tack on Mobile. After the capture Of New Orleans, the Washington author ities had selected Farragut as the com mander who should attack the last stronghold and fleet remaining to the Confederates on the Gulf of Mexico. For this purpose, his government had furnished him an overwhelming force of men and ships. In anticipation oI | this assault of the Federal fleet, the Secretary of the Navy at Richmond had assigned Admiral Franklin Bucn- anan, an experienced officer from Bal timore, to the command of the naval force at Mobile. Admiral Buchanan tary commander at Mobile, fully aware of the tremendous odds to be brought against them, had strengthened their | squadron and their line of resistance as well as they could. But their means was limited and their force small, for the Confederaey was woe fully deficient in every material of warfare except the valor of It's men and the efficiency of It's officers.
 The Federal fleet consisted of eigh- teen vessels and twenty-seVen nun ldred men; while the Confederate fleet contained only four ships and fouI hundred and seventy men. The guns Ioi the former are Varlousiy estlIhateu from one hundred and fifty-six to one hundred and ninety-nine. The confed- crates had only twenty-two guns. The home made ram monitor, the Tennes- SC, a fighting machine Of which tho IConfederacy had every reason to o' pro2d. the one hope of the Confederate fleet. was the flagship of Admlra
 Buchanan and the most heroic figure of the battle. Before going into ao' aA1WAAGAA assembled ohieers and crew upon thu
 sun-deek of the Tennessee saying:

their own ships; if I fall, lay me on ana aide and go on with the fight; never mind me, but whip and sink the Yankees, or fight until you sink your selves, but never surrender.
 At o'clock on the morning or tne nth of August, Admiral Farragut standing aIoft in the rigging or the Hartford urged his fleet into the chan mel. He looked down upon a formida- hle array, The Tecumseh led the van ana in her wake followed the iron ciads and the woodenship dashed to- gether in pairs. A flood tide bade fair to- help his ships beyond the Confedeerate l fort. and a westerly wind to aid him by blowing the smoke from ms Ileee and toward Fort Morgan.
 AS the Federal fleet appeared, Ad- mtral Buchanan gave the signal to ms | four ships riding at anchor north or Fort Morgan. The ships stood out across the channel, just inside a line of torpedoes. their heads point mai their port batteries might bring a raking fire to bear up on inc advancing enemy The Con SsAerate Admiral posted his flag shIp next to the Federals, in the ifuIi expectation of engaging the Tecum- sah kH soon as the federal fleet ap- nrnached within firing distance, the pat | lie began. By o'clock the action had | become general. Farraguts ships were | nourinx their broadsides into Fort Nor | gop which responded with so much enerpv that a dense cloud of smoke | settled down upon the bay. Above | this cloud loomed the masts and spars of the Federal fleet; while the scene
 was necessarily lighted up by the
 Tssbss of the guns. The spectacle
 was one of those grand and awful bat tle pictures which the men who wit | ness. confess their inability to repro duce in words. Admiral Buchanan l stationed in the pilot house of the Ten 1 nessee. reserved his fire and kept his
 gaze fixed upon the Tecumseh, whose | fat raft of a hull and ominous-lookine turret were creeping closer to him with 1 every passing second. There was a
 momentary Hull in the fury of the ire
 as all eyes were turned toward the 1 ~Iadiators of the sea, the champions oi l inc opposing forces in that dreadful | combat.
 Al this moment when the ships were less than a hundred yards apart, there came a muffled explosion. A column bf water, like a fountain springne

 ty-one were left swimming for theii hives. The horror of this tragedy silenced the guns for an instant. then the roar of the battle began again.
 Meanwhile. the Selma, the Gaines and the Morgan were doing their tul
 snare toward opposing the other yes sels of FArragut's fleet which wal
 rapidly advancing, breathing fortf nAYne and smoke. The other threa

line of torpedoes. As the Hartford went over the torpedoes, the primers snapped, but not one exploded, because they were corroded by salt water. At half past o'clock, the Federal fleet had passed the guns of Fort Morgan and was well into Mobile Bay. But all hope of the Confederates was not lost with Fort Morgan, Admiral Buchanan and the commanders of the three gum boats took up the herculean task of driving back the enemy. The Selma, Gaines, and Morgan ran close down on the starboard side of the Hartford, as she crossed the torpedo line, infilcting upon her a galling fire. The rapidity and accuracy of the fire of these gunboats at this state of the ] engagement was the perfection of ar- tillery practice. One shot of the Selma strewed the deck of the Hartford with the bodies of the dead and wound ed, and hurled human limbs and splint- CTS on the deck of her consort, Meta comet. Yet Farragut did not halt. Buchanan made a dash at him with the Tennessee but the Hartford easily avoided him by superior speed.
 As soon as Farragut saw that all his i vessels were clear of Fort Morgan and l the torpedoes, he hoisted the signal for the gunboaIs to cast loose from the i larger ships to which they were lashed | and to chase the Confederate gunboats. ] These retreated up the bay followed by the swift steamers which Farragut kept 1 for this purpose. This running en- gagement was in progress. when shot and shell disabled the Gaines. Then
 her commander Lieutenant Bonnet, to ] save the lives of his men, beached and ! burned her on the sands of Fort Nor i gan.
 1 A heavy wind and rain storm, with
 a dense mist drifting in from the gulf,
 had followed the bright sun and un- clouded skies of the morning. In this
 for. the Morgan, losing her course. ran
 aground. When the fog lifted she retreated and took up her station under 1 the batteries of Fort Morgan. The
 Selma had a sadder fate. Pursued by
 the Metacomet the swiftest vessel of
 the Federal fleet, the unfortunate gum boat was soon overtaken and found her.
 self directly beneath a terrific fire from all the guns of the Metacomet, station ! ed across her bow. Still Lieutenant
 Murphy, her commander, defiantly keep
 ing up his coIors, answered the
 enemy's fire. In few minutes, so
 many of his men had been wounded and
 killed that Lieutenant Murphy, realiz- ing that there was no escape from his swift enemy, struck his flag.
 While disaster was thus overriding the Selma, Admiral Buchanan, finding that it was useless to pursue the nag l ship of Farragut or to challenge 1t to single combat, turned the Tennessee and steamed down the bay to meet the
 Federal wooden ships, coming up a mile behind the Hartford. g, This attack of one ship on twelve was not the least brilliant exploit of that memorable fifth of August" Buchanan had not gane far toward the fieet before he was hampered by the low speed of his yes
