The naval wonder of the world—our bravo little Moni- tor—is x0 more, ‘Lost at sea, off Hatteras, on the morn- ing of December 81, 1862,” tolls the story of her end; and, though she now lies a useless mass at the bottom of ‘tho ocean,'sho will long be remembered by the American People of the North for what se has done,and by the American people at the South for having taught them what “a Yankee chgese box on a raft’ could do. On Saturday morning last, about ten o'clock, the State of Georgia arrived at Fortress Monroe, bringing the start- Iing intelligence that the. Monitor had gone down, with four officers and several of her crew, and that an officer anda number of the crew of the Rhode Island perished ‘im the attempt to rescue them from a watory grave. The ‘Mews spread hike wildfire, and in a fow moments every ‘man, woman and child had heard of the disaster, and “(The Monitor's lost” was in every month, while here and ‘there military and naval oficors assembled in groups dis. ‘Cursing the news. The excitement was most intenso among all classes to ‘Tearn authentic accounts of the disaster and the names of the lost, but nothing could be Irarned further than the fact of her going down in a heavy storm off Hatteras. ‘with some sixteen or seventeon of those} on board and “the loss of several of the crew of the Rhode Island in at ‘tempting to save them. The news brought by the State of Georgia is as fol- tows :— e. Qn Thursday, at eleven o'clock A.

The Columbia reported having spoke the Rhode Usland, and loatned from her that the Monitor had sunk "Wu Wednesday morning. about one o'clock, and that six teen men and ‘one officer went down with her. Sho further roported that twelve men and two officers of the ‘Rhode Island perished while attempting to save the crew -of the Monitor, and that the surgeon of the latter lost one -of his hands'by being first jammed and afterwards ampu tated. ‘This was all your correspondent or any else conld earn on shore; and_hoping that additional ‘particulars gould bé gathered from tho officers of the State of Georgia \L took @ boat and boarded her, when I learned that I knew all that they did, but was Informed that if any additions, * ‘news arrived it would be sent to Admiral Lee on board the flagship Philadelphia.

The woather was as fine as could be wished, the sun shining warm and bright asa May Gay morning, while the water was scarecly rippled.

The old tars who observed this would sknowingly #hake their heads] and ask, “What would she doin a beavy storm?’ Nothing occurred worth mentioning until Tuesday i aight, both the iron-clads remaining in sight of each other up to five o'clock P.

From six to soven o'clock P.M. the wind began to abate, and signs of a clear, fine } night became apparent.

THE RHODE ISLAND ASSITING THE MONTTOR. Between cloven and twelve P. M. the launch of the Kode Island was maaned, and started for the Monitor: About this time, the hawser which now hung loose, bo- camo entangled in one of the paddle wheels of tho Rhode Island, so that it could not be worked, thus reudering the vessel unmanageapie. She drifted towards the Monitor, and there waa great danger of a collision before the hawser could be extricated. The launch was botweon the tw: 4nd before she could olear them tho whole er sides was crushed in, Just esoap" ing the wator line, The gallant fellows in her had a narrow escape from a@ horrible death; but, nothing daunted, they struck boldly out for the Monitér with their broken boat, and safely returned with fourtesn or fifteen of tho Monttor’s crew, though in a sinking cou" dition, avd landed them all safely upon the deck of the Rhode Island. In tho meantime the two vessels had approached so noar each other that five or six of tho crew of the Monitor seized the ropes banging from tho side of the Rhode Island, and started to climb up her side; but only three reached there.
