To remain was galling WHISTLINO TO A FOX. the Confederates tried er dodge. Just alter a bad spell of weather the Nashville hid herself in a bend of the river above the fort, threw out pickets ashore to prevent Federal scouts from coming near, and it was given out M-among the garrison at McAllister that the privateer bad escaped f through the fleet and gone to sea txhen a chance was iaven two or (three men to desert, and they car ried the news to the Federal fleet TjSe Savannah papers gave an ac codnt of her dodtriue out. with a statement that she had beeu seen off Charleston. But Dupont was not the sort of fox tq stop for a whistle. The sharp eyes aboard his vessel had kept too good watch to believe those stories, and after it waa seen that the trick batPttuled, the Nasnvflle 'once.more came down to the tort. HARD AQBOUND.

A she had fall steam- on when she' strnck. it was at onoe dis covered that no little trouble woold be experienced in getting her otf. The tide also began to fall jost then, and after working away for thirty minutes it became plain that she could not be got afloat; ..before next liigb tide, livery preparation wan made to aid the tide in floating her next day. and but for an nn looked for interference she would doubtless have been pulled off all right. FXDERSX. PLANS. It soon became known to the blockaders that the Nashville was aground, and a recounoitering ves sel secured all obtainable par tic u lars. Before : midnight a deserter from the privateer had Teacbed the fleet and given the exact . state of affairs. A boating. expedition bad almost bee decided upon, bat when the deserter stated that there were no hopes of getting the craft a float before' 10 o'clock next day she was considered as good as de stroyed. : .. . .

Irt' this, condition . he stowed himself away and went to sleep, and the next thing be knew the eleven and fifteen such shells were terring their Way through the privateer and: the crew bad departed. I met the man in Atlanta in 1882, and as he gave a straight list of all the offr centrof the Nashville, with., all the particulars of her-;rtwtiin in Jie Bhoal his stoiyeeoied. entitled to foil credit. As soon as he "dhicov ered wht had occurred Jtndwhat was theif occurring he Was perfectly sober. : His only chance was to go overboard, and while looking-for something to float him the vessel was bit j-wice, and each -missile made her rock from stem- to stern. She wan on fire in two places when the negro lef( her, and not only did he go overboard with a plunk . to sustain hiin,but he floated past the fort and was picked up . after be had drifted down among the block aders. IN FLAMES. After the fourth or fifth discharge the practice on board the Montauk was perfect- At this fair range she could plant a shell wherever directed and each one seemed to start a fire in the hold. When the flames had taken a (air hold the Federal ceased firing and remained a quiet specta tor of the destruction ot a craft over which Uncle Sam had worried and grown thin for long months. About 6 o'clock she blew up with a loud report, and ojMo 1880 por tions of the wreekjferyet visible near the spot. TAKING A POUNDING. The Nashville had depeuded upon the fort to drive the Montauk off, and the fort had tried its best to do so. The Federal was under a steady fire from five or six guns for over an hour, but not the slightest attention was paid to the fort. Shot after shot crashed against the armor of the Montauk, but only to leave a slight dent and drop into the river. The mission was to des troy the privateer, and even after that was accomplished Commander Worden remained at anchor to watch the progress of the flames, while the fort was dropping an iron missile on bis desks every thirty or forty seconds. One may search the whole record of naval affairs during the war aud not find such another case where pluck and luck, were combined in so happy a manner. It was ouly after the destruction of the Nashville that the Confederates who had been sneering at her com m antler lor not pushing his way past the blockaders realized what would have happeued had she tried the experiment. The fifteen-inch shell of the Mon tauk would have penetrated the Nashville at 2,000 yards, though the firing would have been wild. At the range 8he had, it was almost trifle practice. One shell went clean through both sides of the ship and across the river before explod ing, and years afterwards a piece of the shell weighing over two pounds was dug from a tree at a point eight feet above the ground. : Hundreds of thousands of dollars bad been spent on the Nashville, and the Confederate Government had built high hopes on her sue cess, and yet a bit of ill luck for which no one could be held respon sible led to her destruction before her crew hud ever beat to quarters or one-of her gnus been stained by powder.

A Soft Thing on Jem Mace. The arrival of Jem Mace, the En glish pugilist, from Australia, has revived the old story about the joke that Zach Chandler played on Sena tor Conkling. Chandler and Conk ling were both pretty fair amateur boxers, and they enjoyed the sports very much, though Koscoe was a little too much for Zach. Chandler wanted to play a joke on Conkling, so he hired Mace to help him. He got Mace to visit his house, and go with him to a boxing school where he was sure to meet Conkling Chandler and Conkling sparred a round, when Chandler said he didn,t feel very well, and he took off the gloves. Mace picked up one of the gloves and looked at it in an inno cent sort of way, and Chandler in troduced Mace as his friend, Mr. James, postmaster at Peutwater, Mich. Conkling asked Mr. James if he ever boxed, and he said he used to when he was a boy, and after a little coaxing he put on the gloves. Chandler had told Mace to play off for a while, and then everlastingly pelt the nose of Conkling. Before they commenced Chandler asked Conkling,as a favor, that hewouldu't hurt his little friend, and Conkling said he would be careful Conkling led off and took Mace on the fore head, and on the ear, and all around, aud Mace didn't seem to be able to get a blow in anywhere. Conkling was pleased with the soft thing he had struck, and after resting a little they squared off again, and after Conkling had given Mace one in the eye, Mace woke up aud gave Conkling oue with each uauu, a dozeu times, before he could wink, aud kept it up, seuding hiiu clear across the room, aud wound up by knocking him down; and he rolled half a dozen times, aud fell all over himself. When Coukliug got up and got himself collected together, Chaudler introduce him to "Jem Mace, champion pugilist of the world.'' and Coukliug fainted away. He was never very friendly to Chan dler after that. LEISLATTTE PBOCEEtlNGS. (ConlcnHl fit m NewObaprTr.) THIBTV-FIFTH DAY. SENATE.

Mr, Dortcb thought differently; the first thing was to perfect1 the original' bill. There was a scatter ing' discussion as to which bill fehonld have the preference. ' Mr. Pinnix and Mr. Crarfcerefterring to Barclay's; Digests and1 contending that by all parliamentary practice the minority should be first consid ered- Mr Pinnix said it was so in the House and had been the practice in the Senate k ', Mr.' Dortcb denied that it ever was he practice in the Senate,' and parsed his decision on the " general principles of parliamentary law. The chair held that the bill re commended by 4he minority of the committee should have 1 been pre sented as a substitute for: the bill the majority, this not having been done, he was of opinion" that the question was first as to pending amendments to the majority -bill; this latter point, however, was true m law, even if the substitute Was pending. The majority bill was taken up, and Mr. Dortcb spoke to amend ments, the first being to provide an expert for the commissioners for inspection purposes, -and for the railroads to carry them free when on official business he was for mak ing the clerk's salary eighteea hun dred instead of twelve hundred dollars, so as to secure an expert in the freight business; be was for striking out section 16, which pro vides that the commissioners may prescribe a time schedule for passen ger trains on all railroads in this State.
