Eggleston, in PniUdelpbia T! Wllou tlio Federate iflmmlonofl tho navy yard tit Norfolk in 1801 they not lire to the vessels lying there.— Among theHu was the Mfrritmu*, one of n cltiHS of vessels which, when they were bnilt, were considered the finest specimens of naval arehiteeture afloat. On the occasion in question, the Mer- rininc was burnt to the waterline.— Her machinery remuiued intact, and it was duCcnnitied by the Confederate authorities to make of what remained of her an ironclad rum that would some troublo to the enemy's ves sels lying to in the waters of Virginia. A sir net nre of oak, sloping like the roof of a house, was built upon tho old hulk, and this wood-work was cov ered with plates of wrought irou two inches thick. The ends of these plates, where they rested upon the edgo of the old hulk, extended about a foot under water. Below that line tho ves sel was as vulnerable as she hud ever bet n. The rudder-chains, too, were perfectly unprotected, lying exposed on the “fnhtail," or that portion of the hull which extended out abaft tho shield. The wheel was uuder the for ward part of the, shield and the pilot was protected by a huge hollow cone «»f east iron, perforated with holes for him to see through. The buttery of the Merrinme consisted of ten Dahl- gren guns; one 11-inch pointing for ward, mid another printing nft, and gbt 9-inch guns on the sides. At lust there is a sign of life on the two frigates. Their swinging booms go alongside; their boats aro rnu to the davits; the Congress pipes “wash clothes," and now we hoar the long roll of our own drum and fife calling I we «; us to quarters. There is no longer a | < r doubt of our Captain’s intentions.— He soon appear* on tin* gun deck, makes a stirring appeal to tho crew, and then takes his station near the Minor had been done without the knowledge of the offieers of tho Con gress. Neverthel* ss we resumed our firing, while the officers on the poop dock of the doomed vessel were wav ing their white haudxurcliittfs. But we did not keep it up long, for it was apparent that tiieCongross had already been set on tire by our hot shot. — About this time Buchanan was borne below, wounded be a sharpshooter *n shore. We've do|ie # a t very goqd.djiy's k,” I remarked to Catesby Jones, mile time during the afternoon ho paused at my division. Yes,” lie replied, “but it isn't over. The .Minnesota ami St. Lawrence are joining up from Fortress Monr Our crew was made up in a great measure of green countrymen detailed from tne different volunteer regiments stationed about Norfolk, but there were some trained seamen union; them. From tho time of taking them in hand till the*3av of going into ac tion, an interval of about two weeks, we drilled them incessantly at tho guns of the receiving ship, the old frigate United States. On tho forenoon of the 8th day of March, 1802, tho Merrimuc, or, as she had been newly christened, the Vir ginia, cast off' from the wharf at .tho navy yard and started ou her trial trip. Wo steamed straight for Hamp ton Roads. Whatever was tho dosign f our Captain, Franklin F. Buchan an, he kept it to bimsolf. Years ijf- torwards, I learned frern Catcsby, one of tho executive officers, that he had bcou taken into tho Captain’s confU donee, but I am quite certain no one else bad. We all thought we were making an ordinary trial trip. And yet we wore rapidly approaching the P tired out fvoiu working their guns ucitrly two days. I think we have ful tilled the mission on which wo ctira and had bettor return,” which accord ingly wu did, tpul Rie next day went in dock to get ready for auothor raid. We hml met and silenced upward of one hundred and eighty guue afloat, to say nothing of the shore but teries. It is safe to say that never bo- fore had; ten guns successfully en countered such odds. If what I have saiil be true, tho Noa^hfiin vcjrwon Qf. our encounter with the Monitor is ut terly false. And I am sustained not only by nil who served on board the Merritnao and tho woodon vessels of our squadron, and tho thousands who viewed tho battle from the noighbor- iug shores, but also by the captain of the Minnesota. In his report to the department., he says in effect that, seeing the Monitor silenced and with drawn from the battle, and his own vessel at the mercy of the Morrinmc, he hnd nearly completed his prepara tions for abandoning and burning tho Minnesota, when, much to his joy, tho Merrinme returned to Norfolk. It may be as well to add that iu her on counter with the Monitor the Murri mac did not sustaiu any material iu jury, while I think an inquiry into tho reason for the withdrawal of tho Mon itor will show that her turret would not turn after she had been rammed by the Merrimae. The last demonstration by the Mer rimuc was against a Federal fleet of oight or ten vessels, tho Monitor among them They wore bombardiug Sowell’s Point, under the eye, an we heard, of Mr. Lincolu himself, then ou isit to Fortress Monroe.

I cotonmiiilcd the third division of ;uns, and was stationed amidships of the shield. From that station my view of what was going on outside the essel was restricted to the gun port, riiich was m arly filled by tho gun. ■or a time I could see only tho rim of the horizon oi tho distant shore, but suddenly the side of« great ship, close aboard, eniue iu view. I saw her but for a moment, for the smoke from her broadside of twenty-five guns, promptly answered by our own, soon enveloped her and us. A few mo ments of the thunder of buttle, of sul phurous smoko, of tho passing below of the wounded, and then there is a thud ns if the vessel had run aground. There i.s a cheering torward, and soon Flag-Lieutenant Minor passes aft, and cries out: “We’ve sunk the Cumheiland!” The next time I saw the Congress she was aground with some of her sails set We had taken up a raking (xosition under the stern, and a few shots from our broadside guus brought down her flag. Lieutenant Minor was sent in a ship’s cutter to receive her surrender, and at tho wi«h* time two tugs that had been im provised ns gunboats ran alongside to take off prisoners. The tugs were driven off by sharp-shooters on shore, and Minor and one of his boat’s crew were wounded by musket balls tired nut of th** gun deck jxorts of the Con gress. Buchanun, then on the upper deck, on top of the shield, shouted down tho hatch way: “ Destroy that- ship! They arc kill ing our men under a flag of truce!” Sadly we proceeded to obey the or der, for we believed that the firing on seem* of yesterday’s buttle, and u cu rious looking cr.ift, which proved to he the Monitor, lying near her.

Bliss, aud thoir arrival at Savannah, qjx Tuesday uight, tbo.JOth ulL r boa beau noted. We pablished recently an interesting account from Captain Higgins, the commander of tho vessel, of his experience. Among tho rescued was James Fisher, u native of Phila delphia, who reached his homo on Monday night, aud tells the following story in the Philadelphia Times, which is of thrilling interest: Mr. Fisbor is a tall, slender man, of about fifty-five years of ago, grizzled and wrinkled and bowed with tho la bor of forty years passed upon tho soas. llo has made tho circuit of the globe twouty-tbrec times, aud has been wherovor a ship could go Speaking of tho wreck, he said, last night: “I have faced death upon the ocean many a time, but never before under such terrible circumstances I have been in gales in all parts of tho world, but I don’t believe there ever was n blow that could comparo to that cy clone. After leaving Now Orloaus wo sail od for Pascagoula, Mississippi, aud took on a cargo of pitch pine.

When wc counted heads there wore but six of ns. The rest bad floated off and were drowned, we scarcely know how. Wo didn’t see or honr them go. It was pitch dark and wo could hear nothing bnt tho roar of (ho ofemonts. “So wo six lay there all night, fight ing tho sou aud wreck. The cargo and broken timber floated up around us, and we had all wo could do to keep our frail raft from bciug broken to pieces by it and sank. Tho wind sent the send flying with cutting forco againc* our faces. Heavy logs forty foot long were whipped up and twirled around like shingles. I got just a little tap of ouc- it knocked all my teeth down my throat. Iu the morn ing we banded ourselvos together so that tho wind could strike ns—made a sail of ourselvos—and we slowly workod ourselves free from thcdcbiis. Wo lmd one euemy only to contend with then—the sea. The wind blow all that day, aud tho waters poured down upon us. Wo saw a vessel some ten miles off, but it boro away from ns. Wo saw another vessel, buk none of them seemed to sight us. So we drifted that day and the next, hungry, thirsty aud despairing. Throe of onr men, who hud been driuking salt water, began to lose tbeir minds. One—the negro steward—wanted to eat his hands. The two others, sail ors, imagined they were still in tho forecastle of the vessel nnd engaged in a quarrel over an imaginary theft of tobaoco, aud wanted to gut each other with their knives. Wo could scarcely control them, but wo man ed it somehow* We had drifted down noar Savannah, ufter vainly striving to signal passing vessels.
