The ArUam as in the Yazoo and the Mis- i slsslppi followed the Merrimae amt ox peri enced a similar fate, imt before ending a short yet dashing career she ran amuck, 1 cutting her way through two of the best equipped Union fleets In the Mississippi, | and her antagonists were glad to let her alone. The Albemarle next took up the ; gage, terrorizing the sounds and rivers of North Carolina until bravo Cushing sent ^ her to the bottom with a torpedo, the only one of the three formidable ironclad rams to go down at the hands of an enemy. The Merrimae anil the Arkansas committed suicide, as it were, in order to escape the shniiie of capture—that is, they were abandoned and blown up by their commanders. Both ran their careers in 18H2, and two years passed beforo the Coufederates had tho temerity to revive this mot hod of naval warfare. Desperation drove them to it. They were lacking in yards, in shops, in machinery and material for constructing a navy to compote with Uncle Sr mV, but t hey hud standing timber and old scrap iron in abundance and stout willing hands to grapple w ith the task of building rude ships in the slow

old way.

Tho light of the south against Union MocUaders was in two years narrowed down to a contest for three ports—Wilmington, Charleston and Mobile. Tho last named, having Imt one entrance, suffered tho must from tho blockade, and early In ISRil the Confederates set to work to raise it. by means of a powerful rain. Admiral Buchar.an, the commander of tho Merrimae in tho Hampton Konds battle, was then at the head of naval affairs In Mobile hay. Other oflieers of the first ram still served under him and devoted their skill anil exporieneo to the building of a new monster, the Tennessee, with the express purpose of dashing into Farragut’s blockading squadron ami putting 1111 end to it. Hut about tho time the mm got nwly for business Farragut brought up four Ironclads from the Mississippi, anil placing them at tin* head of his fleet of wooden ships of war set sail for the bay, intending to knock to pieces the forts and slighter vessels defending tho city before the famous tarn, of which ho hail heard, could conio to the rescue. The battle of Mobile Bay, Aug. 6, istil, was the result. Tlte hull of tin* ram TonnesLi o had been constructed tho previous winter on the wooded bluffs along the Alabama river above Selma. Her niacbinery and battery were placed in at Mobile, and at tho same time her monstrous shield received a plating of iron. She was modeled upon the Merrimae and resembled her very much when lying in the water. Her hull, 201) I feet long, was surmounted amidships by a i shield made of alternate layers of yellow i pine and white oak plank io inches thick, extending at an angle of 45 degrees from below the water over her batteries, on- ! gines anil quarters, 'fho planking in tho | shield was eight feet in length. f)ver it, when completed, she carried six Inches of plating in three layers bolted through the thick wooden backing. Her guns, six | in number, were mounted in sponsons pro jeeting from the sides of the shield. Her buttery was light, consisting of four 4 inch rifles in broadside and two T ‘.j inch rifles l in pivot fore and aft. Her strength lay in her iron armor and in her massive spur ny ram. ThU arm was constructed by bending her planking and plating, shorti '.'lied to about six feet, at a sharp angle all around her bow. Had other things been equal the armor and Iron lienk would have made the Tcntr'ssoo the most powerful of all the dreaded rams of tho Confederacy. Owing to an accident, she was deprived of the chance of surprising the blockading fleet and spreading havoc among tho vul ncrublo wooden Louts, as the Merrimae md Arkansas hod done In-fore her. Hhe

The fleet, led by tho monitors, steamed up opposite Fort Morgan, firing as they passed and receiving tho full complement of Fort Morgan’s guns in return. Suddenly the leading monitor, the Tccumseh, careened and sank, and those following slowed up in anticipation of n similar fate. The bay was planted with torpedoes, and the Tccumseh, driven hastily, if not recklessly, by her ooimimnder when ho saw a chance to close with the Tennessee, had chanced u|kiii one. She carried down over 100 oflieers and men. The mishap to the Tecumsi'h brought tho whole line of monitors and guulioats to a standstill directly in range of the guns of Fort Morgan ami tho enemy's vessels lying near just around the In'ml of the bar. The wooden ships suffered terribly under that fire, and their

scuppers literally "run blood.”

In order to get nhovo the smoke which hung around the decks of his flagship Farragut climbed into the rigging, where he was lushed to the ratlines by some of tho men. Finding that tho vessels in the lead were timid about going abend, he ordered the flagship Hartford on at full speed.
