18TH INSTALlMENT.
"wednesday Evening, Sept. Z, 1851
From Sullivan's Island.

August 31st, 1864.
Mr. Editor: The state Of things at
this point remains the same, the fir
ing on the city and Fort Sumter is
still kept up with but little change.
On Wednesday night, there was brisk
fighting kept up between the batteries
of this and Morris island, which last
ed several hours. The shells from the
enemy coming in quick succession.
saw five coming together at one
time and one to James island. There
was a constant roar Of cannon and
bursting Of shell. The batteries on
James island also fired on the enc
my. About the close Of the shelling,
Sergt. Anderson Of Co. C, 1st regiment
S. c. A., a native Of Anderson dis
trict, was killed by a shell. He had
been on picket duty and had just
stepped into his quarters when a shell
passing through the house struck
him. He survived but a short time
was speechless when first seen. Some
shell are thrown over here almost
every day. On Saturday, a working
party Of Co. B, were removing a gun
from a boat when a shell fell into the
boat and bursted, but all escaped un-
hurt.
In the evening we were visited with
severe storm Of wind and rain and
hail, but there was no damage done
here that have heard Of. On Sunday
the enemy threw considerable guam
tity Of shells at this place, our bat
teries returned the fire promptly; the
only casualty was the killing Of a
mule There has been some shelling
here this week each day; no casual
ties reported.
There appears to be a considerable
stir at present in the northern states
in regard to the selection Of candi-
dates for the presidency. A strong
disposition appears to prevail in ia
vor Of a peace candidate; the people
are tired Of the burden Of this cruel
war. The progress Of the present

More than 80 per cent Of the timber
in the Philippines is owned by the
government and is worked through
concessions and licenses, as no land
more valuable for timber than fol
agriculture can be bought. The valu-
able trees Of the same species are
often scattered through the forests
instead of being grouped, and this
makes numbering more expensive.

they could export their cotton and
receive unlimited funds with which
to battle with their Northern foe.
But upon the appearance Of the
strange craft, the Monitor, their gold
en- dreams were dashed to the
gorund. For a while neither ship
gained the advantage in the battle
in Hampton Roads, it was readily
seen that the North intended to build
many Monitors with which to enforce
the blockade, while the South had
no money to build Merrimacs. Thus
despairing Of victory at sea the Con-
federacy turned its efforts towards
land, leaving the blockade to increase

port cities Of the gamely battling
South, which fact partially defeated
her. For Lee being defeated at Get

ments, ammunition or food with

house, and the Southern Confederacy
was no more.-Charleston Post.

MONITOR AND MERRIMAC.
Junior Prize Winning Essay in the [.
ID. c. Contest.

The following is the junior prize
winning essay written by Miss Grace
NJ. Fowler, in the U. D. c., contest,
it's, title being: The Monitor and
the Merrimac:
On the morning of March s, 1852,
the sun was just rising when the Mer-
rimac having anchored for the night
at Sewell's Point, headed toward the
Minnesota. But a most important
incident had taken place during the
night. The Monitor had reached Old
Point about 10 o'clock, her command
er, Lieut.. John L. Worden. had been
informed of the events of the day,
and had given orders to proceed at
once to the relief Of the Minnesota.
AS soon, as the Merrimac approached
her old adversary, the Monitor dart
ed out from behind the Minnesota
whose immense bulk had effectually
concealed her from view. No words
can express the surprise with which
they beheld this strange object
whose appearance was tersely and
graphically described by the excla-
nation of one of the sailors, "a tin
can on a shingle.' Yet this insignifi-
cant looking object was then the
most powerful warship in the world
Some time before this Capt. John
Ericsson. the great inventor Of n. Y.
invented and built this peculiar look
ing object. with a single round tower
of iron exposed above the water
line. The tower was made to revolve
so as to bring its single heavy gun
to bear on the enemy in any direc'
ton.
The Merrimac had been the finest
steam frigate in service. But it was
sunk when the federal authorities
evacuated Norfolk navy yard, and un'
der a plan proposed by Capt. John
NJ. Brooks its huge sides which slop'
ed like the roofs Of house. were
covered with railway iron and smear
ed with tallow and plumbago. Hel
i commander during the fight with the
Monitor was Lieut. Buchanan.
The first shots of the Merrima'

CONSERVATION. But the Monitor. haV
ing the advantage of light draught
! placed herself between the Merrima
and her intended victim. and from
: that moment the conflict became
heroic single combat between the tw'
iron-clads.

pause as if to survey each other, thel

advancing cautiously the two vessels

advancing cautiously the two vessels
opened fire upon each other as soon
as they came within range, and a
fierce artillery duel ragged between
them without perceptible effect, al
though the whole battle was within
close range, from half mile at the
farthest down to a few yards. For
four long hours from 8 to II, the
cannonading continued with hardly
a moments intermission. During
the evolutions in which the Monitor
had the advantage Of light draughts,
the Merrimac ran aground. After
much delay and difficulty she was
fioated off again. Finding, however,
that her shot made no impression
whatever on the Monitor, the Merri-
mac Selling a favorable chance sue
ceeded in striking her foe with her
stern. After a while they ceased fir-
ing and separated as if by common
consent. The Monitor then steamed
away to Old Point. Capt. Van Brunt,
commander of the Minnesota, stated
in his official report that when he
saw the Monitor disappear he gave
up all hope CT saving his ship. But
fortunately for him the Merrimac
steamed slowly toward Norfolk evi-
dently disabled in her motive power.
The Monitor returned late in the af-
ternoon accompanied with several
tugs, succeeded in floating of the
Minnesota and conveying her to Old
Point.
Thus ended the struggle which
changed the navies of the world. Up
TO this time the naval energies of the
world powers we're expended in the
construction of wooden vessels. The
effects of this battle were so speed
lily show the naval experts Of the day
that no nation could hope to cope
successfully with another nation
with iron-clad vessels unless it had
them also. The governments OF the
world were quick to see the advan-
tage of a country with iron-clads and
the danger of a country without
them. Whereupon the whole world
set to making iron-clad vessels.
The hated blockade was tighten
ing it's terrible grip around the sea-
ports of the struggling South. The
cost of necessities were mounting up
ward with leaps and bounds. The
people of the South saw that unless
something was done and that quickly
it would be only question OF time
before the Confederacy would De

After recognizing the state O
things it can be easily immaglnec
