Ita) that her cay was m due to the Monitors, which Rave here- tofore Tepresented as taking little share in the fight. FIGHT WITH THEREBEL FLEET ee eee -vanaxuee FIGHTS FLAG- SULP FOR FLAGSHIP. ‘The fight with the revei tieet was more des- perate and resulted in the greatest losses. Far- Tagut designed the Monitors to fight the rebel ironclads; but they maneuvered too rapidly and moved too quickly for us. Farragut had anchored, when the Tennessee, having shaken off the Monitors, was seen coming after him. He immediately called to quarters, with the re- mark, -If it must be flagship-for flagship, ad- miral for admiral, 1 am willing.” - The rebel ram came on with great 5: ls aiming to run the Hartford down. The latter was bandied with wonderful skill, As hesaw his adversary coming. Farragut waited the op- portune moment, and, then, turning his ship slightly, gave her headway, and, instead of being struck himself, dealt the ram a fearful blow, which must have shook her terribly. The two boats then slided alongside against each other, side to side, both discharging their broadsides. Those of the Tennessee passed directly through the Hartford. The Hart- ford’s ‘solid nime-inch shot glanced upward from the heavy casemates of the Tennessee and flew away into the air. ‘The encounters were frequent during the ac- tion, not only between theram and the Hart- ford, but also with the Lackawanna, Monon- gehela and Brooklyn, which with the Moni- tors, came to the aid of the heroic old flagship. Time fails me at this opportunity to write the detailed account of this remarkable fight, which deserves volumes for its record of hero- ism, courage and determination displayed on both sides. I shall ask space for the fuller ac- count im @few days. THE FINAL SHOT AT THE TENNESSEE. The final shotthat terminated the career of the Rebel vessel was fired by the Monitor Chickasaw, which passed close under the stern, giving her the full weightof two 11 inch solid shots from her. bow turret, which dam- aged the cover ef theram’s sternpost. Bach- anan went aft with his engineer to readjust the port cover. While engaged in this opera- tion the Chickasaw brought her after turret to bear, one shot from which carried away the tiller chains of the Tennessee, rendering her unmanageable, while the other, entering the damaged port, killed one man and fractured Buchanan's leg with splinters. THE TENNESSEE SURRENDERS. Having already lost her smoke stack, the Rebel ship was now utterly helpless. She was therefore surrendered at once, hanl- ing down her colors to the Chickasaw, Lieu- tenant Commander Perkina commanding. FARRAGUT REGARDS BUCHANAN AS HI8 EN- EMY, AND DECLINES TO 8¥E HIM. When Farragut was notified ot the surren- der he sent an officer off toreceive Buchanan’s sword. On learning of Buchanan’s wound, an officer asked Farragut if he would go off and see him. Farragut looked along his decks, strewn with dead and dyimg mangled com- rades, and red with the blood of others who had fallen and been removed, and then re- plied, * With these brave men before me killed and mangled by bim, I consider him but my enemy. I want nothing to do with him.” ATTEMPTED ESCAPE AND CAPTURE OP THE SELMA. While the fight with the Tennessee was going on the rebel gunboat Selma attempted to escape up the bay. Several gunboats started in pursuit. The Metacomet being the faster, overhayled her, after a chase ofa few mules, and with a single shell from her 100-pounder Parrott, which exploded fairly on the deck of the rebel vessel, killed or wounded every man on board. Her colors were at once struck, and she was brought back to the fleet a prize to the Metacomet, Lieut. Com’r Jewett. She isa fine vessel, of light draught, and carrying ar- mament of four heayy guns, including a 100- pounder Brooks rifle. DESCRIPTION OF THE RAM TENNESSEE. The Tennessee is the most complete and for- midable iron-clad monster afioat. She was considered pertectly invulnerable. Her model and construction are similar to those of the Merrimac, of Hampton Roads fame, though she is & stauncher and more formidable ship. Her length is two hundred feet; breadth, torty- eight. Her casemates have a backing of three imenes of oak, covered with sixteen inches of yellow pine, crossed. On this there is a per- pendicular layer of iron plates, three inches in thickness, covered transversely by a second Jayer ot two-inch iron, mopped by a third layer perpendicular, one inch thick, making nine- teen inches of wood and six of iron. These casemates hang over her hull, protecting it completely. Herdecks are covered with double plates of two-inch iron crossed, laid on heavy timber. Her armament consisted of six rifled guns—two of seven-inch calibre and four ot six and three-quarters—all of the Brooks pat- tern. She draws fourteen feet eight inches of ‘water. She is worked by two splendid high ressure engines, driving a geared propeller. ler port covers are of five-ineh iron, worked by cogs from within. Her complement was ome hundred and eighty s*yen men, officers and all. Two-were killed aboard of her, and three cr four wounded. The vessel will be repaired at a trifling cost. One fifteen-inch shot penetrated her cagemates amidship. This ‘was the only effective shot in herarmor. She ‘was struck beyond count, showing a battering on all sides enough to demolish any craft. - LIVERY, “SiHING, BACK, EX Tse Bs ‘CHANGE & STAGE STABLES, < G@ Street, Between Sth and 1th, North Side.
