r
dition, nnd soon betook herself to a " lower
deep." And this wus the end of the ram
Manassas.
The captain of the Yttrium, while lying
nt the quarantine, perceived n large rebel
steamer approaching, apparently with the
intention of running her down. It will he
remembered that the Varnnn had incurred
the deadly hatred of the rebels by Inr
bravo exploits while passing the forts.
Six rebel gunboats had been sunk by her
accurate firing, but now she herself was to
become the victim of rebel prowess. On
came the Webster with l.er iron prow, and
stmek the Vuruua nearly amidships, crush
ing in her aside. Retiring a short distance
to acquire greater velocity, the Webster
repeated the blow. Although in a sinking
condition, the Yiirnna determined not to
y "old unavenged. Her cannon und howit
y. r were discharged with such accuracy
tint the Webster was set on fire and driv
en to the bank of the river. The wounded
on the Yaruna were saved, but the dead
could not be. Soon she sunk to the bot
tom, but the national ensign (loatcJ at her
masthead as she went dow n.
The rebel steamer named atter the Gov
ernor of Louisiana, Thomas 0. Moore,
while in a disabled condition, attempted to
retire up the river. The Oneida started in
pursuit, but on coming up with her sin
was found to be on tire, and before the
(l imes could be got under she lay a help
less wreck upon the Mississippi.
About eleven o'clock on the morning of
the :24th a portion of the tleet started for
New Orleans. The houses on the banks
of the river for some distances wire cover
ed with white tl.igs. All was excitement
mill contusion among the people. At t.'iree
o'clock the expedition arrived oil' Point a
la Haehe, nnd at eight o'clock reached a
point eighteen miles in-low New Orleans,
where it was determined to anchor. Marly
(;; the morning of the I'oth the order was
na.le to weigh anchor, niul soon the tleet
was s'.eami'ig in tY.' direction ef the devot
ed city.
About eleven o'clock the I'll ahn.tto butt-Tics,
one on each side of the river, were
discovered. The s'gmil to prepare for bat
tie was then made, and everything put in
readiness. Our gunners stood nt their
posts determined to finish up the business
in the uio-t approved style. Soon the bat
teries commenced firing. In a briiftime
the reply was made. Hat within a quarter
!' an hour after the op ning of the ball the
l! ur ship cam'1 within fifty yards of the bat
tery, mounting ten guns, and poured a
broul-ide into it with terrible effect.
Another was all that was iicuUd. The
battery eeustd tiring and its garrison
" ev.ieu ited." The othe r butt ry was
serv.., 1 iu l.ke maimer. It mounted about
eight guns, and contained several iidantry
and artillery companies.
F. very where along, the ba.ks of the river
from this point to New Orleans ships and
cotton in tlauies, (ired by the exisp rated
rj'-.e's, were visible I Mutation the most
ruthless and extensive every wh -re followed
their retreating foott- ps. The property
of the ardent and the Ii;k warm rebels met
the sain.? fate. No distinction was mad-1
Tne follow, rs of D.ivis and th? followers of
C'ritteiid.n had tiie;r proper'y im.'ulitcd
upon a common altar. In truth, coiiti-c i
tlua by Congress would have wrought no
sue!) terrible j idgment upri a misled a:id
deceived people.
As the Hags'.';) nr.'lve.l r.T NY.v Or-l'j:i-,
the rebel ram M'--i--"j.pi cam llo it
iug down the river, with the iamc Ichli.g
lor sides and a-cvnoi.ig from her ! ck
The rebels, finding tii.it she coi.M not b"
s ived from bei'ig cap'ur- d otherwise tli.iri
by d s'roying her, set l.er on fire.
With the Mibs-ipiei.t events attending
the capture of tin rebel strmrghr.M our
realcrs are familiar, an! it is t.'i re fore not
necessary to ngahi record them. The pas
sags of Forts Jack-on nnd St. Philip, mid
the naval i-iigig- in- lit connected wltii the
achievement, is the gr. adst naval achieve
ment in the annals of the world. The bat

th prigaicm-"nit with the rebel (i The
following account of the brilliant liitloii is
from a letter written by Captain Hogg',
her con.uiaiidcr, to his wife:
We started at 2 o'clock a. v , nnd re
ceived the first f.r? at 3: ), ju-t as the
moon was rising. My vessel was terribly
bruised, hut we returned the fire with in
terest. On pas-ing the forts I found mr
H-If the leading ship, and surrounded bv'u
squadron of rebel steamers, who annoyed
iii'j much by their lire; so that I steered as
:Io-c to them as po sibe, giving to each a
broad-ado ns we passed; driving one on
shore, am! leaving four oth' rs in flumes.
During th Ii time the firing of iruns,
whi-tling of shot und hiir-.ting of shell was
terrible; the smcke d-rise. As this cleared
-IT. fin ling more r tenners alien 1, I stopped
to In k fr the rest of the squadron. The
ship was leaking badly; but thus far none
wore h ut. A -t' Tti, I snw the Oneida on-
g.-gei wiin ii relt'-l steamer. In; lutl'T
shortly after fame up the rivr, when I wi
g i-ge I him, but found my shot of no avail,
lis be was iron-clud about the bow. He
tried to run me down, and I to avoid him
nnd reach bis vulnerable pari. Duriir'
the-i" movements ,o raked me, killing three
mid wounding seven, nnd attempted to
boar I; but we p-pul-ed 'lin Driving
ngiiinit he battered me s'-virelv but
in these i fforts ( xpo-ed his vulnerable side,
end I Ml'.'eeed' d ill pi ilit.' ig a couple of'

p i nil', I in he moved slowly up theriv-

I now found my Mrp on fire from his

it ". is put out. Ju-t then niio'htr iron

bim ii full complement of shot mid shell
thut drove him on shore nnd in flames.
l-'inding mys .If in n sinking condition I run
my bow into the bank niul landed my
wounded, still keeping up my firo on my
first opponent, who at In t hauled down
his Hag. My last gun wns fired us the
ti cks went under water. No lime to save

with tho clothing they had on their bucks.
Wc were tukcu off by bents from the
squadron which hud now come up, the
crews cheering ns the Yiirunu went down
with her Hag Hying; victorious in defeat,
and covered with glory.
1 think we have done well. Eleven
Steamers destroyed by the squadron. The
old rum, Manassas, sunk by the Mississippi.
This has been a gallant light no less than
one hundred and seventy guns playing on
us. The forts are cut oil troni succor, and
must soon surrender. The way to New
Orleans is open, and the city is probably
ours at this moment for the licet immedi
ately passed up the river. The Commo
dore, as a post of honor, dispatched me in
my only remaining boat, with a picked
crew from theVaruim's men, to curry dis
patches to General Cutler. Having been
in the boat for twenty-six hours, after such
u day's previous work, you may imagine 1
am somewhat exhausted. What my next
position in ay be 1 do not know perhaps
to go home. for another ship. He has got
it. Or possibly to become naval aid to
Major General liutler.
How Audit tiik Comix? An Eastern
paper thus philosophizes on this subject:
As there is a fair prospect the war will
be over by midsummer, the cotton supply
question begins to bo much discussed in
commercial circles. While this important
product has been proved by the war to
have no regal powers, it is still in great fa
vor the world over, and hundreds of mill
ions ol money are ready to be poured into
the South iu exchange for this tloeulent Ii-
bcr as soon as commercial relations can be
re-established. Now, what is the prospect?
Will the cotton be sold or destroyed.' How
much may we reasonably expect to find
available m the South, and what will be
the probable course of prices?
Assuming that the crop of last year, not
yet uuikctid, was 4,000,000 bales (it has
Ineu est. mated ut 4.700,000 bales it is
not possible that more than oOO.OOO bah s
can have run the blockade, or have been
wasted and destroyed by the Union and
rebel armies. As yet cur nrtiiirj have
l-.U'i iv siiirttd t lie cotton regions uotne
was destroyed on the South Carolina coast,
but more was seized by the Union troops
or transported into the interior by the reb-
els. A few hundred baits may have been
destroyed iu Virginia, North Carolina, and
Tennessee, and a few thousand in the neigh
borhood of New Orleans; but the vast bulk
of the crop is still lying tmgiimed and mi
bu! ! on plantations and in out of-the-wav ,
pi ices.
No m dter if the whole South is the
'- ui u o.uci pauisui war w.i:eu suouui
continue even until Autumn, the stock of
cotton eventually available for commerce
cannot be reduced below o, 000,000 bales.
In the meantime another crop is growing,
no', a- large ns that of la.st year, fr obvi
ous r -asoii-, but still not more than one-i
th'rd less. It is indeed safe to assume that
there will be O.OOO.POi) bales of American
cotton which will come upon the markets
of the world between in .t July and the
following April. The planters mu-t sell
and submit to lower prices than have been
known for

lriit-tllr of I He IV r lifts.
The Semite Commit too on tho Conduct
of the War has been examining; witnesses
ree-ardiiiL' I lie treatment of mi r Willed niul
wounded soldiers by tho rebels. Tho facts
disclosed are of n most revolting character
Pr. J. M. Homiston, surgeon of a New
York regiment, testified that when ho was
j captured at Pull Pun, he asked permission
to remain on the field to attend to wound-
ed men, some ol whom were nerisliiinr for
want of water, but he was brutally refused.
Ho niul Ins companions were innrched off
to Manassas, where they were kept stand
ing in the streets, surrounded by a threat
ening, boisterous, ami brutal crowd. The
! rebels offered them neither water nor food,
but rudely thrust them into an old building,
i where they were left to sleep on tho bare
lloor without covering. It was by hard
, begging that they succeeded, faint und ex-
I hau-ted, alter twenty-four hours' fasting, in
getting a bit of cold bacon. When at last
they were permitted to go to the relief of
. our wounded, the rebel surgeon would not
uliow them to perlorin operations on our
, wounded, but entrusted tho work to boy-
assistants who knew nothing more about
surgical operations than apothecary clerks.
I lie wounded among tho rebels were all
attended to by experienced surgeons, while
the young novices were lelt to butcher up
our brave men us though thev had been
dogs. Indeed no really civilized people
would ever treat wounded dogs the wav
our men were treated by these rebel sur
geons, some of whom swore thev " wished
they could cut the d d hearts out of the
iiukees as i-asilv us thev could cut off
their legs.'' Vc have no room for pub
lishing the numerous instances of cowardly
una uciMisii atrocities iieriielrateil on our
soldiers, which were brought to light bv
these unimpeachable witnesses und.-r oath.
We give u few instances to show the spirit
of the .secessionists.
Dr. Homiston lugged lor the privilege
of amputating the leg of Corporal l'res-
cott, n brave officer of a N. V. regiment,
as he was in a dangerous condition and
must die unless sin eilily nt tended to. The
rebel surgeon promised him the privilege.
Dr. lloiniston heard a rebel suv that thev
niiu upiraung ou a laiiKees leg ui
stairs. I non .iin.' nn l. f..m..l tW !.....
boy surgeons had taken off I'rcscott's If"
The Dr. says" The assistants were pull
ing on the lle.sh nt each side, trying to get
tlap enough to cover the bone. Tin-y had
sawed off the bone without having any of
the lb h to form the flaps .o torer it ; und
with all the force they could use they could
not g-t Hap enough to cover the bone
They were then oldiged to 6aw off about
av, inch more of the hone, nnd en-u then
when they came to put in the stitches, they
could not oppro.ximale tho edges within
I ss than an inch and a half of cueh other-
ol courr, Hi suuii an tlicro wa.s any swell
.
mg, the. stitches tore out, und tho bone
stuck through again. Dr. Swnlni tried nf-
terwurds to remedr it bv iierforiiiin
nn-
other oii ration, but rrtscott had become
so debilitated that lie did not siiriire."
The same surgeon testified that after tho

rated by Dr. Hwulm, another Union sur
geon, und by numbers of other Federal
prisoner?. Our soldiers were frequently
shot down by sentries, in Iticliinoiul, for
looking out of their prison windows, und
one was shot down while wulking pust the
window by a sentinel outside. This senti
nel wus promoted for tho net. Numbers
ol our wounded wero bayoneted by rebels
while lying on the buttle-ficM. Dr. Swuhn
says ho saw many of our dead soldiers en
tirely nuked on tho field ten days after the
hattlc, mid secession women walking round
uinoiig them, gloating over the sight. Gen.
Rickets, who wus wounded, was sought out
at Mui.asMis by his wife, who, on her way
to him, wac treated with every indignity
I. il... i. ..I.:... ..... ii i ,ii
in a room full of wounded, by the si.lo of
Iit husband, on the hare floor, without n
bed, for two weeks
'
Gov. Sprague, of Rhode Island, who
communiled a regiment in tl,u mu0 f
Hull Run, afterwards went on tho buttle-
field in search of the bodies of dead friend,
7 io i;niiiiiy, onu coinpeiieu to hleep
1 , , I
I and gave tho coiunutteo the mult of Lj,
labors in getting information in regard to
tho barbarous treatment of our honored
dead. Many of them were stripped entire
ly naked, and then put iu trenches with
their faces downward. Sonio were after
ward pried out of their graves with rails,
their clothing taken and their limbs cut oft"
and boiled to get the bones. Pruni sticks
had been inudo ol " Yankee shin-bones "
Others sawed up these bones in sections for
linger rings. Two or three rebel soldiers
had carried oil' as trophies portions of
" Yankee ukulls," which they called drink
ing cups, and one of the Louisiana soldiers
had one which ho " intended to drink wine
out of ut his wedding."
Put enough. We turn nway from the
disgusting sight presented by the full his
tory of pro-slavery barbarities, rendered all
the more revolting from the fact that the
VM nmJ ils ,,mro1' of "
treason has nil the time been guided iu its
treatment ol a fallen foo by those prompt
ings of humanity that arc always operative
in tho breasts of christianized mid brave
men. The acts of rebel atrocity ulready
well authenticated bear off tho palm from
tho gory hands of the bloodiest. Cuir.nurhe,
mid eclipse in cold blooded torture ami
fiendish lerocity the most revolting acts of
tho degraded Sepoy. The news of these
infernal outrages sends a thrill of horror
through tho palpitating heart of civiliza
tion everywhere and sheds a new light
across tho oceans upon the operative cai sk
of this rebellion, w hich (or more than fifty
years has been steeling tho slave trailer's
heart, blunting his moral perceptions, and
slowly leading him on along u pathway
baptized in human blood, strewn with
skulls and shackles, antl lined with mile
stones telling the autocrats of rebeldom of
