I thank y u for the kind advice you offer in ; your letter, will rs-meni'-er it : and endeavor to profit j i by it. I l..re to be a ii i.ss.-l by men of more ability , and experience than mysetf. and w henever you have j su'e-tintia to offer, Is; assured tliat they will lie re- . ceivel with pleasure. I may, honover, plead the em- : barraainfr fireumstabces utiler which I write, a ! some excuse tr my d;aeriptin U-in no better- It is 1 1 a ditfirult t!.ir.r '. w rite i r -perly, while a roung scape- ' grace is ;i-kir.jr P-':i-s in you, an I icaistine- that none . write letters except tie-se who are "in love.' fince : ! . 1 . . . last to v.u, we have 'tone some severe worn., uu: still we are the sam visl aet as before.

But mv purpose now is to answer your letter, and not bother you ;th an account of our private aflairs. I have not yet received the paper of which you .speak, but will receive it, perhaps, s.n. Like you, I have ceased to be annoyed by t.v pojjr iphical errors. They are sometimes provoking, ' not unfrfjueuth the chii-irrap! y of tlie author is suiiicient excuse for the pr. liter. But "dry pretty frirls" is preposterous, f..r in all my hie I never saw a pretty pirl that wan "-." I appeal to the hole siter-hod of such, and insi.f, that I never called them "'." If Mrs. II. air.iin I'.ii'e s in Marion, I trtist she will remeiulicr me to tiie "t'.-y handsome" voting lady, who was kind enough t" itepiire about your correspondent. If it should ever be my pixd fortune f le favored with her acquaintance, I can but hop.; that her pood opinion of nie will not Ve lcsse'ued. We have in led seen service since I wrote you hist, and we believe tint our work has not been done to no tmrpose. The oosscssion of -V bile Bar had become necess.irr, an 1 when the r"le!s lost it, they lost one , of tie; strongest props of their tottering Con'ed -raey. For nearly three y -ars they had been fortifying the place, and nothin,r that means and ingenuity could j supply, was left unused to defeat us. You have, time t and again, read accounts of the defenses of Mobile. Besides tlirce forts, and their tleet of iron clad and woo len vessels, the rebels had placed in the Channel through which we had to pass, three rows of torpedoes, j w ith more than a hundred torpod t'S in each row, for , the purjHise of blowing our ships to pieces, should we j have the temeritv to m ike the attack. But in spite of ' their strong forts, immense iron clad rams, and infernal machines, we whipped them soundly, and without the loss of more than one ve-fl. the monitor "Te- , cunis -h" aunk by a torpedo. You have, no doubt read in the nesw.spaper, more than one account of the fight. I ahull therefore, give you nothing more than my own experience. When our line of battle was formed, we presented an appearance, grand, beyond anything I have ev -r w itn-'Ssed. We were seven pood aued ships, each with a smaller vessel lashed to the port side. 'n the starlxi.ird side, and abreast of the four leading shipswere placed the four monitors, the Tecumseh in adv.ino '. We thus numbered seventeen vessels, but io ing to the formation of the hue. the small vessels on the p-Tt side could not I d in the h. ltest part t was fort ot the tight. Oppose! t us oil the ngi Morgan, a strong work of masonry strengthened by sand batteries. On the left was fort O lines, w ith a strong armament and a parris -ii of Sert men. Beyond this last fort, was f.-rt Powell, with a garrison of ab .ut 2,'-0 men. On the est side of the entrance was a line of obstruetions, reaching within f,iH yards of fort M -rt m. A. Toss the narrow Channel left, were stretched three lines of torpedoes, as I stated alstve. I:ii.b of t'n.s line, and arrange I across the Channel, hr the re1.-! vessels. First was the "Tennessee." an immense i.- n clad, built at a test of nearly two million 1 liars in te!d. to raise which sum, the ladies ' ot M Hole appropnatt 1 their ica dry. Next rair.e the fi :i ha', " M -ro an" and "tiaines." both irn clad. At the etivm:ty f tie liu" was placed the "Seln.a" a r.--vcta !.' our:-lo,i:. m umi;n g six guns.

IHirirg tins part cf the fight, we had become separated from the balance of the line, and while they were engaged with the Tennessee and oert, and working their way slowly over i-btrjetiens. we were attacke-1 by the two iren elais.

none were severely injured, except the Oneiia. A hundred and fifty pound shell from the Tenoesa. passed thre.ig'u her builer ant crmpWt-''. disabled her. She was towed past by her consort, tac Oa'tj 'a. Thus far we had succeeded well. We parsed out of range, and tx-gan to clear away the marks of the conflict. The Tennessee had withdrawn und. r the pica cf the fort, for the purpose of resting her cre-v, but soon steamed tsdiiy out to meet us. Atd now alh w me a wori or two, by way of eipViatiou. lest you think that this act cf a single ship offc.-lno to fight a wh.de fleet, one of extreme foolishness. Ti.e Tennessee is the most formi table vessel erer built. She ia more than two hundred feet long, her sides of four feet soli I oak. covered with eight inches of iron.

We were now inside the Bay, ar.d h? was the only rebel left floating, and altl.- Uirh uninsured, escape was im;si-sible, and he was driven to the hard eli.ece ba'tw.-en surrcn Wring or l-ing pounded into submission. II- oh'-se the latter, and came boldly up to the scratch. Ili.s avowed 'ntention was to fight the Hartford fir-t. The other ships were or lered by signal to close with him, which they did with a w ill. But their shots It k- to pieces against the vessel's arm t, or glanced harmlessly from her iron sides, while their "ramming" Lad uo more effect, than l.a 1 the ejects of that other ram. who with more spunk than ju !gment, chose to "butt a grind-stone." He came tearing n, regardless ff the pelting of the iron hail, and at the same lime we were bearing dow n upon him. I am a Quaker you know, and not given to enthusiasm, but I w ill confess that I now began to lie interested i:i the affair. Like liichmond an I Kic'nard at Bose.orth held. Earrag-ut and Buchanan were hunting for eaeh other, to decide by personal strife, the fate of the d.ty. We out-manniivcrei! our antagonist, and instead of r. ceiviug the thrust of his iron prow, we struck hima tremendous blow on his iiort how. The two vessels swiinir si-Jo and side: our- antigonists br-ialsi-h- if 150 pound shells w. ut through us. while at the snii.time we e-nvc fiim the full force of our port b.itterv. The creaking f the ships, and the ro.irin - i f tuns, and burs'.inir shells, w ere not unhke the commotion of voh an'H-s and earthquake, and I doubt not would have upset the c-piiiiimity of a nervous ni l::. We turned about and in. nie at him airain, but when the smoke cleared away, the Tennessee had hung cut a white ti.ig. Our enemy was completely disable!. He received our broadsides when not ni Te than ten feet distant. His smoke stack was shotaway, stearing gear disabled, plates of iron ripjted off by our shots, port shutters jamed, and comm ml'-r's h-tr shattered, he was left helpless an 1 at our mercy. Thus ended the battle, three hours after the firing of the first gun. -Our success was complete, and when the force opposed to us is taken into the account, we may sav, without fear of contradiction, that the history of Naval warfare des not show- an equal. Pardon me for being so tedious. I began to tell you my own experieuee. but almost uncon.seiou.slv I have given you a lengthy account of the fizht. Ths Surgical force of our ship consisted of the Fleet Surgeon. Surgeon Lausdale and myself. We were prepared to receive the wounded, in the main hold of the ship, below the water line, and of course out of reach of our enemy's missiles. But this place sn-n iiecame more than full, so leaiing the other two there, I went o-i the deck aliove an I received the wounded there. Tin y came thick and fast, but taking two or thre men !r.-m the "powder division" to assist me, I ni iit.ie 1 to do all that was possible under the circumstances!. I saw God's i m ige mangled and torn in every cncivable form. When we grappled with the Tjnii-'-v'e, her whole broadside passed toe .rt of the ship I was in. One shell exploded and kn'xkei down half a cVi.ti men. I stooped to apply a tourniquet to the tump ot one iit fellows arm, w hen aii'-tiier burst, a p'ece sticking the man in the breast, killing him instantly. A man by my side was torn to pieces, one of his arms struck me in the face, and almost kn-cke I m off mv feet. My chest of medicines and surgical appliances were shot away, and I directed the nurse, a faithful fellow . w ho had been with me through more than one tempest, to go below and bring others. liecviving no reply, I turned an I saw- him dead beliin me. 1 looked f. r others, but none could do my bidding, every man in that par! of the ship, w as dead or severely wonnde-d, and some whose w.-un-is I ha 1 jus! cared for, were killed outright. 1 jumped Wiow, pro-ured the meant, and h.is-cned back t-. n.v iv rk. It was tit'le I could do anions s i n-.tnr. And still they came. The deck ran blood fragments of human flesh pieces of legs and arms -dissevered hands and feet were scattered around. Before nie lay a headless bodr. w bile a little ays off w as heal w ithout a bodr. Amid dead and thedyinz, and the shrieks and groans of the wounded : covered with the blo.i of my comrades ; and bespattered with their brains ; deafened and stuuned by the explosion of .shells. I worked on regardless cf time, and thoughtless of e!f. The fearful strife en led at last. The w.-r I was pass 1 that the enemy had surrendered and we were romplet!v victorious. Wc-un led ani dving nj -n i- ine.s in the victorious shout. One who had 1.-st both arms, forgot bis misf. rtntie. sprscg to his fc-t and attempted to clip his hands. The-.-ff r; reminded hiir. of his noun 1, let hesii.sk his tn tngh-d stumps an I decbre-l. thut if he had forty arms, he wr ni l g-iie t'.cm a'.! for the ch rv of that moment. One dyine; hero turned to the d" id friend by his site and said., "what a pity he c- uld not hive t-i s.-e it." For mys.df I w is uninjured. iv a slight scratch on the rl-ht a-m. an 1 a few fine pa. :c'e .- a shell driven into my ri-l t tej. But I had endured threa hours of alm-.st si:p.rhurr.an toil. But row the cause ,,f so crca. cieri".-n "as ende-l. re-a-tr-n followed, and. I feii exhan-te I an i fair.tiiig on the deck. My boy Ian:el. a fait, f-'.l African, who m -re than' ence has done c:a service, brcug'.t me a basin of water, a towel, a cv.p of c ff-e and a crust cf bread. I was soon refreshed and at work again, . nor did we cease our labors ur.ti! all our wc un te i w ere ' as comf.-rtable as we could make them, and on b'ard - a Steamer, enroute for Hospital of Pensacola. i Frateraallr.

DiiAR Sik: I am truly jilad that you , "K'-tirf-i two articles published in the ; C'ri.'ttun RtcvrJ. and republishevl in two of the Richmond papers." The "uotoriety" it oits me is valuable, bfrsi-lea, ' the condescension upon your part, even ; to i-ive your reasons for not replying, i a jiaUerinj unction to my soul. But for ' the reason ; - 1. "For yoarsi 1 have made it a rule to reply to no man's letter, who refu-s or i neglects to pay bis postage. The postage i was not paid on our letter. I Then, sir, i Ofo you an apology. If ' my note was not pre paid. I regret it ex- , ceedinjily. 1 pave the letter to a fiicud that he mi-:ht personally tleliver i I suppose, that failiiiiC to find you. lie inalvertently dropped it into the o.licc w ithout pre payment. I Iniinbly ask pirdod for the o.T.nco. If I thouirltt it vo.dd not itisult y:i. and woulvl insure n rej.ly, 1 would forthwith send you TWO CKXTS. I may do so any how.

Iioiii liichmond. i i i -1 1 li.is, been said out roversially, upon baptism, v . en to t f delivery of a series of lectin a ; by your "If. Why this is, you are be-' ;,tiU l to determine. That you have incorrectly ( I .lo not ' say intentionally) presented others, iews, will not admit of question. Now, sir, I propose that in this , j;y, you try to make good nomc ol your teachings in these lectures. Then our sta v.iiio.iis can be t'aitly made an t ..let. If you aeeeed to this overture, pielimina ics, and propositions Involving ii :Ti eronces can be arranired. , Your reply may be made to me :t this place. Yours- in hser A. I. Hoitns. i The above is the note vrrbutim, in whieh : vou say 1 charged you with fabsoli id, and by implication, with lyinpj. Mv dear sir, those reasons are too thin a o;au.e to hide behind. Very politician like, indeed, to turn a controversy upon a question involving eternal interests, into a merely ersonal rrairo-le. When you felt your inability in the f.tee of ! those articles, to meet your own is.ries in a manly way, you seek to mak" f t; ' impression that I am some preat cevortinir, swacroriiio', blustering built, so swollen with anrer, that I could not write you a challcno-e for a discussion, without "callinir you a liar." And that you are a meek, latrb like, retiring haint, of injured innocence and wounded lienor. 1 Hoping thus to draw after you th sympathies of the multitude. In the u-.ine of o'jr holy religion, I protest iiji'"st 1 such chicanery. Either come out openly, and bravely meet our errors, if nr. , -i hold, or desist, hereafter from attributiii"; to us views which, vou oui'ht to know, wc do not avow nor believe. You decline to reply to my publish" ! articles, because you are not .iiajms. i l j . give me that notoriety in this ( Richmond ) cornmuuity you ( I, ) have a loner desired." t My dear sir, did you ever think t' at, possibly, the boot might be on the other foot .' If I remeinhajr, rightly my advent into that community preec led j ours, and m stay was quite as pro ractedi Probably my relations to tliat comnni'.iitv gave me fully as much "notrt ff as I could desire, onl as I would -h to gain it everywhere, by the triumph of truth Is it notoriety to h nt -v to withhold? Is it not rather notoriety to what you are pleased to caii pbellism," tli it you so much diel? Eise why that -tudied cilort to keep your people from our hearing. And whjthose efforts publicly and privately to stuff the public mind with preju i. e against us. i Iiut, I am sick of such stutf. I wo ,!d rather call your mind ami that of ti e reader, to the fact that the Great -o I and our Lord Jesus Christ, have re.pi.. ; 1 of ua the discharge of certain 1 c.os. One of these is to be baptised. It is only one, but not therefore, ind ill'. -rent. You teach that this command can be obeyed in at least three mode. We teach, that nothing but i:nmenion of a proper subject in water is that enjoined in the great commission, to be practice! by the Apostles. Your attention i j again called to the ' two propositions" contained in the Record of Aug. 10th inst. The type make me say what I did not intend. first. There is not an accredited Greek Lexicon on earth, that gives the literal meaning of boptidzo, to immerse, or an equivalent term. Second, There is not an accredited

Greek Lexicon on earth that do not i give as the literal meaning of baptidzo, to j immerse, or an equivalent term, j The 31,000 will be forthcoming when- ; ever you find an exception to either of these propositions. If you cannot iind an exception, how dare you practice tbit any longer, in the name of tae Lord, for i which there is not a vestage of authority. . I do hope sir, for the sake of truth, and for the the benefit of honest enqai. .-.-, you "Will yet nerve yourelf to the talc j before you. 1 Yours in hop. A. I. Hobss.
