New York, Nov. 26.—A dispatch to
the Herald says on Tuesday evening
Robeson received information which
quickened, if possibie, the activity in
his department in preparations for the
crisis. Orders peremptory and plenary
were issued by the Secretary to chiefs
of bureaus to put the Navy in the best
possible condition without waiting for the
approval of the Secretary.
The next orders issued were to Hear
Admiral Case, commmaiidiug the Euro¬
pean squadron, to leave but one ship at
Cadiz, and proceed with the other vessels
under full steam to Ivey West.
Despatches were then prepared for the
rear admirals commanding the South Fa
cific aud South Atlantic stations, which
are now on the way, to order all the ves¬
sels of their fleets to Key West, under
steam and report to the Navy Department
at that point.
A telegram was sent to the commander
of iRe East India bquadron, informing
him of the gravity ol the situation and
to issue orders at once to every vessel of
fleet to prepare for any emergency.
Per contra, the Times, in a double
leaded editorial, says: “We have reason
to believe the negotiations with Spain
have assumed a shape which places the
prospect of war at a much greater dis¬
than the case yesterday. ”

Her Exploits as a Confederate Blockade
Rnnnrr—Daring Run into Mobile Har¬
bor—Graphic Description of the Ex
eitiug Scene.
Interesting Letter from Sandy Merlin.
LaFayettk, Ala. , Nov. 24, 1873.
Ed. Sun ; Our attention has been at
tracted by an article in Frank Leslies II
lostrated Newspaper, in which we find a
statement to the effect that the
nate steamer Virginius was formerly
known as the Virgin, and as a Conteder
ate blockade runner. Well does your
correspondent bear in mind her
shape and rig, as well as the praises lav
ished upon, after her first run into Mo
bile Bay in 18(14. Thinking that some of
your readers will in all probability be in
terested in an account of the run, we will
attempt to give a statement of it.
’Twas one of those calm, still summer
nights, when the surface of Mobile Bay
was as placid as the countenance of an
infant sleeping ever so quietly in its moth¬
er’s arms. Not a ripple disturbed the
lovely scene. The water, grand in its
stillness, reflected with minute exactness
the. myriads of twinkling stars, with which
the blue expanse of the unmeasured skies
were decked, giving to it the appearance
of a field of azure sown with diamonds.
Ever and anon, could be heard the shrill
cry of the sea gull, as it flew rapidly back
and forth, now rising and falling, with
that peculiar weird cadence, once heard
never to be forgotten. Occasionally the
deatli-like quietude, that covered the wa¬
ter like the pall of death, would be dis
turbed, and the spot become a living
flame of light, as countless numbers of
small fish, frantically endeavoring to es¬
cape from some huge monster of the
deep, would cleave the water in ever di¬
rection, with the speed of lightning, caus¬
ing the phosphorescent animalculre, or
particle, to become visible.
Grim Fort Morgan, with its “dogs of
war,” muzzled aud held in the leash, cast
a dark shadow on the motionless water,
seemingly saying to it, like King Canute,
“Thus far aud no farther shalt thou
come!” Away in tho distance, hardly
perceptible to the naked eye, twinkled,
now and then, a light, resembling the le¬
gendary appearance and disappearance of
a Jack-o-lantern’s “glim.” These lights
betokened the presence of the Federal
blockading fleet in the offing, and which,
for many a weary day and night, plough¬
ed the waters too and fro, in their endea¬
vor to sight some venturesome “runner”
trying to make a Confederate harbor with
supplies aud munitions of war.
Suddenly, and while even nature slum¬
bered, the heavy booming of a gun broke
the stillness that had reigned with abso¬
lute sway over the scene. Another and
another followed in quick and rapid suc¬
cession, and in an instant the scene, which
but a moment before was impressive in
its death-like Hilence, became one wild,
mad arena of confusion and noise. Dense
clouds of smoke, the sullen discharge of
Oolumbiads, the snappish bark of Parrots
and Napoleons from the Federal block¬
ading fleet, indicated that something un¬
usual was on foot. Fort Morgan, too, was
aroused. Drums beat to quarters, and
the stern old fortress, lately so quiet,
having no evidence of life save the weary
sentinel’s tread, now presented a specta¬
cle of activity and hustle. The silent
cordons of men that hastily, hut orderly,
gathered around the immense cannons,
showed a readiness for the work it was
apparent drew nearer and nearer each in¬
stant. Louder sounded the guns of the
enemy, and closer drew the lights; but as
yet nothing more solid than sound had
reached the fort, and exclamations of as¬
tonishment were becoming audible, when
an officer called attention to the fact of
the Federal guns not being aimed in that
direction, but, as indicated by the flash,
at right angles with it. In an instant the
riddle was read. Several miles off and al¬
most hidden by the dense volumes of
smoke which rolled from her smoke¬
stack, and whence, ever and anon,
could be seen the faint glimmer
of lights, a steamer resting low in the
water, was speeding through it, like the
wind, as utterly regardless of the shots fired
at her, and which occasionally struck her
iron hull with a ringing sound, as of the
first, which had crossed her bows. Her
escape appeared impossible, so surround¬
ed did she seem to be by tho enemy. Ev¬
idently, however, she was commanded by
a good pilot—one who knew well where to
put his precious craft—for no change was
made, save an augmentation of speed al¬
ready wonderful. Two open spaces there
were, both hazardous in the extreme.
One lay toward Fort Morgan, presenting
4 the shortest cut” through. The other,
rather, inclining off, and indicating the
“longest way around,” (which in this in¬
stance was intended to prove the truth of
the old saying, that “the longest way
around is the the shortest road home”)
iiiid apparently, carrying the Virgin—for
sneh afterwards proved to be the name of
the gallant Blockade Runner—farther
from the protection she seemed to need
s i much. To us, who in the capacity of
• ‘signal corps man,” was up, and armed
with torch and foot-light, it seemed a
fool hardy move; aud we began to ques
fciun the ability, which had heretofore
marked the management of the Virgin.
1 he Federals had some fleet-footed ves
s.-is, and these, sleuth-hound like hung
on, in the wake of the dashing daughter
cl the Clyde, seemingly bent upon u
ring the prey. But in vain were their ef

an i pursuer, alike, had drawn in a Kinu
o semi-circular coarse nearer and nearer
tne fort. I was aroused from my deep in
t rest, by a sound, as if under my very
f et. Which shook old Morgan's walls and
1 -tions from centre to centre. Onr
artillery friends had stood in readiness,
ifaeatiy watching, like ourself, the scene,
COLUMBUS GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1873.
until the moment should come for
interference in (he game, heretofore
one ^ jded . That moment came when
the saucy Virgin (!) (no sacrilege we
assure you) had drawn herself out of the
range of the guns from the fort; and the
sound which had so startled us out of otir
interest in the race, was the deep-toned bay
ing, not of Ihe honest watch dog, giving
welcome, but of honest iron-mouthed war
dogs, pealing out on the din the slogan of
defiance, as if saying to the Federal host,
i in the language of the motto that W : \ S
wont to rest upon the escutcheon of an
G ] d knightly house of France “Hold!"
“Je Suis ici.” Without waiting to see
the effect of the shot, gun after gun from
the fort hurled the messengers of death
amid the pursuing vessels, who, finding
they had in their zeal gone too far, .began
to draw rapidly off, sending back now and
then a shot—looking and resembling a
crowd of hacked bullies who had been
driven off from an unarmed opponent, by
friendly arms.
As for the Virgin, gallant little craft,
she passed us in safely, like a racer with
a free rein and an open course; flying
from her mizzen peak the Confederate
flag; and the crew giving three cheers for
the boys in grey on the walls, and the
latter, responding with three times three
and a tiger to pluck and audacity.
Such, Mr. Editor, was the first appear¬
ance of the Virginias, or Virgin in South¬
ern waters; and we cannot but grieve for
her fate when we think of the dash and
success that characterized her first show¬
ing “a clean pair of heels.”
Many tunes after her arrival in Mobile,
have we had the pleasuro of taking trips
on her to the various ports, and occasion¬
ally her commander would “touch her
up,” and give us a specimen of her speed,
which, at its full, approached the marve¬
lous; and we’ll guarantee the assertion,
that fresh from the dock, she could play
all day around the Tornado without in¬
curring the least risk. As it is, her final
record is a good one. Fourteen months
at sea—poor fuel, and then to lead a
fresh vessel, an eight hour stern chase.
Weil done.
But. alas ! Let us not forgot the brave
men who will never more walk the quar¬
ter deck. May the indignation and
vengance of an outraged people speedily
overtake the butcher Burrell and his gang
of miscreants, Ryan, Fry, Cespedes, Va
rona and the many others whose day star
of hope set. in an ocean of flood—butch¬
ered—slaughtered.
“Tho breezy swoliow call of incense-breathing straw-built morn,
The twittering from the
shed; shrill tho echoing horn,
The cock’s clarion, or
No more shall rouse thorn from their lowly
boil.”
“For them no more the blazing hearth shall
Or hulsy burn, housewife ply her evening
care;
Nor children run to lisp their sire’s return,
Or climb his knee the envied kiss to share,”
Mr. Editor, I will close this by simply
saying, with Thomas Hood,
"Oh it was whole pitiful— lull
Near a city
Friends they had none.”
Yours, Sandy Merlin.
A Profitable Investment for
Capitalists.
A Cotton Factory
TO BE BUILT ON THE
Water Site of the Palace Mills,
ColuxnLus, Gra.
It is proposed to build on the water
site of tho Palace Mills, a GOTTON
FAGTORY for the manufacture of Cotton
Goods. The Capital Stock will be $250,000
which will include an ample floating capital.
The building and machinery will be erected
and arranged under the direction of J. RhoDjes
Buownk, Esq. The building will be a sub¬
stantial structure, and the machinery ol the
most approved patterns.
Tho capital of tho public is invited to this
enterprise as one promising sure, speedy and
profitable results. No subscription will be
binding until $200,000 is secured, when the sub¬
scribers will be invited to convene for the pur¬
pose of organizing the Company, and the work
will be commenced.
NO TAXATION, either State, County or
Municipal, attaches to this investment 0 for
Ten Years. The BEST water power on the
river is secured; the warehouses of cotton are at
the door; the railroads radiate from the city to
every market for the goods; and operatives are
soliciting employment. With such advantages
is it unreasonable to promise a profit ol 20 per
cent, per annum on the investment.
Subscriptions will be received at the Chatta¬
hoochee National Bank; the Merchants and
Mechanics Bank, and the Banking Office ol
the Georgia Home Insurance Company.
