“ Stand to your guns, men'l" Morris cried,
Small need to pass the word ;
Our men at quarters ranged themselves
Before the drum was heard.
And then began the sailor’s jests :
" What thing is that, rosy i” .
“A long-shore meeting-house adrift
Is standlfi down the bay l,’‘
A frown came over Morris" face;
The strange, dark craft he knew;
"That is the iron Merrimac,
Manned by a rebel crew.
80 shot your guns, and point them straight ;
Before this day goes by,.
We’ll try of what her metal‘s made."
A cheer'was our- reply.
"Remember, boys, this flag of ours
Has seldom left its place;
And where it falls, the deck it strides
Is covered with disgrace.
“ I ask but this, or sink or swim.
Or live or 110ny die.
To see that ensign fiy!"
- Meanwhile the shapelessiron mass
Came movin‘go’er the wave,
As gloomy as a passing hearse,
As silent as the grave. ‘
Her ports were closed, from stem' to stern
No‘sign oflife appeared.
We wondered, questioned, strained our eyes, i
J oked-‘everytliing'but feared.
She reached our range. Our broadside rang,
Our heavy pivots roared, '
And shot and 'shell,'a fire of hell,
Against her titles we poured.
God’s mercy i from her sloping roof
The iron tempest glanced,
And round her leaped and danced. _
Or when against her dusky hull
We struck a Mr, full blow,
The mighty, solidiron globes,
Were crumbled up like snow.

The silent monster c'anie;
Though all our starboard battery
Was one long line of flame.
She heeded not, no gun she fired,
Straight on our how she. bore;
Through riving plank and crushing from.
Her furious way she tore.
Alas! our beautiful keen bow,
That in the fiercest blast
So gently folded back the seas,
They hardly felt we passed!
Alas! Alas! my Cumberland.
That ne’er knew grief before,
To be so bored, to feel so deep
The task of that sea-boar!
Once more she backward drew a space,
Once more our side she not ;
Then, in the wantonncu of hate,
Her broadside throughus seat.
The dead and dying round as lay,
But our foemsn loy abeam ;
Her opened port-holes maddened us ;
We fired with about and scream. -
We felt our vessel settling fast.
We knew our time was brief. ' . .

No hand was idle then ;
Two soldiers, but by chance aboard,
Fought on like sailor men.
And when a sun‘s crew lost a hand.
Some bold marine stepped out,
And jerked his braided jacket off,
And hauled the guns about.
Our forward magazine was drowned;
And up from the sick bay
Crawled out the wounded, red with blood,
And_round us gasping lay.

Struggling with failing breath.

Where glory strove with death. '
With decks afloat, and powder gone,
The last broadside we gave
From the guns’ heated iron lips
Burst out beneath the wave.
So sponges, rammers and handspikes—
As menof-war’s-men should—
We placed withinrtlieir proper racks,
And at our platters stood
“Up to the spar-meek! save yourselves l"
Cried Selfridge. “Up, my meal
God grant that some of us may live

We turned—we did not like to go:

As rushing on from wave to wave
The whirring bomb-shell sprang.
Brave Randall leaped ppon the gun,
And waved his clip in sport; "
“ Well done l well Aimed! I flaw that shall
Go through an open port."
It was our last, our deadliest shot;
The deck was overfiown; ,
The poor ship staggered, lurchcd to port,
And gave a living groan.
Down, down, as headlong illFQllfill the waves
Our gallant vessel rushed.
A thousand gurgling watery sounds
Around my senses gushed.
Then I remember little more,
One look to heaven I gave,
Where, like an angel's wing, I saw

All dripping from the sea,

Was bending over me.

‘At times, sir, very severely ; I feel

The Liverpool Chance on the
' War.
People are cheerful, but business is bad,
talk was, that this accused war in Amer-
ica is the cause of a world of misery all
over the world; that the evil embraces all
the civilized inhabitants of the globe;
that trade in stagnant from Galway to
the Amoor ; that people want employ-
ment; that spccblation is defunct; the eu-
terprise is dormant; that a sad apathy
seems to have seized on the human race,
and that misery, is, in consequence, in.
tense and widespread.
The general talk was that the war will
soon be over; that the end is rapidly ap-
proaching; that the confederate, having.
done all that brave men could do,lmu.vf, like
other great men, submit to dealing,- that
the chances are against them; that they will
retire from the scar with all their honor:
made brighter by glorious exercise ; that
the adversary was four to one against
them, and that it is no disgrace to yield
to an enemy so powerful ; that they will
not play the barbarian and unchristian
game of persisting in opposition when the
result is inevitable; and that when passion
subsides 1 the secessionists will unhesita-
tingly admit that the United States have
after all given ample proof of the resour-
ces residing in free institutions; that this
war, frightful as it has been, impresses on
all mankind a lesson that cannot be for-
gotten; that it has upset a multitude of
false conclusions, and taught European

writing from Ship Island, gives the fol-

the shipmentof horses to that place :
The ofiicors of the several regiments
were expecting their horses, and- vvere not
only sorrowful-V but indignant when in-'
formed that of the one hundred and thirty
fine animals which were shipped at Bosf
ton,rixty-dght of them had been lost during

and the appearance of the surviving an-

safe transportation. .
The horses were packed between decks
in three rows. Those ou- the sides of the
ship were placed in. bays constructed of
light scantling, where they were securred
by planks running fore and aft. There
was no protection to the rear of the horses
to prevent chafing against the ship’s side,
neither were the bays padded in lany way.
Each of these boys contained ten .horses'

ing planks. suspended. edgevvise betvveeu

pied single stalls with no better protec-
tion against accident.

great confusion among the horses. The,

andas it was not feasible to feed the liv-

of throwing over board commenced. That
day fiftyoeight dead horses went over the
side, a the remainder were relieved as soon
as possible. The badly wounded continued
to. die until the whole number lost reach-
ed sixty-eight. The surviving horses were
landed on Sunday. Scarce'oue of them
escaped with a whole skin, their hips,sides
and beads being gelled tothe bone. Sev-
eral have died since they were landed,
and not half of the remainder are consid'
ered serviceable.
The horses of the ofiiccrs, nearly every
one of them which was lost, were all valr
uable animals, many of them being pres-
ents ftom their townsmeu and relatives,
and some were invaluable from having
been through the three months campaign.
The loss to the government by this disas-
ter is at least $9,000; and should the-re-
mainder of the five hundred destined for
Ship Island meet with similar treatment
it will require twice that number to sup-
ply thc wants of the expedition. \
