Such a myster1ous, alqwst soleiUD, obJect had never been. )Jeheld on the fair Al- bemarle sound. She had JUst passed my hm1se, an<l l'i as hidden from Hew by intervemng trees, when m> ear was startled by the boommg of a heavy gun. HMtenlng to thP shore 11 hundred yards distant, I could easily take m the scene. The ram had fired a shot, as t!J,e cloud of smoke m her VICimty showed, of de- fiance to an approaching enemy, and hn,d taken her positwn for a fight. Several steaml!rs of unusual size and ng were moving rapidly up the sound, and \ere JUSt rounding Sandy Pomt. Hurrying back to the house, I notified my household, excited by the first ram, and EsTABLISHED PBron TO 1798, NO. 48. One of them had actually been t>l:tced hors du combat and had dropped out of the fight, while the other two, without ceasing their attacks, were evidently usmg more caution, P.r~ ently tho ram was seen slowly to retfre, pursued by them at long range, and returnmg \ith an occasional gun the fire wh1ch they st1ll kept up. She was eighteen mlles from the mouth of the Roanoke, whence she had come alilOut five hours before. One of her two glfns, as we afterw arcl learned, had its muzzle shot away, and m con- 9equence of the loss of. her chimney it will! impossible to ]leep up sufficient steam, In tl1is cljli,pled state she must make l:rnr~~ack, pursued by two sw1ft and l1eavily-armed Hlnps. Her commander proved equal to the emergency. Among her stores was a large supply, Of salt pork. This be ordered to be ~ed for fuel instead of the coal, wlncli -wli!ijl;IOW useless. The fierce beat thus rapidly produced made up for the lack of draughtm the in- Jured smokestack, and so she steadily retreated, flghtmg all the way with her remmnmg gun nntJ! she reached the mouth of the riVPr, where she fired the last shot of dPfiance. as she had fired the first. The gunboats had meanwhile ceased the pursuit, and the engagement \VIIS ended. The cnppled eouble-ended steamed slowly below Sandy Pomt, where she lay a couple of weeks repairing damage~. It leaked out that a solid shot from the ram had gone through her b01ler, killing sev!\ral of her men aml wounding others by 1ts effect. For SPYeral weeks the sound shore in the \ 1c1mty of the tight wa.~ strewn w1th splmters and other frag- ments, some pamted, some carved or gilded, showmg the resu1ts of the ram.'s fire upon the wooden hulks of her adversanes. • Romance of a Gold !IIin~. In 1852 a party of five unlmown miners were workmg m the bed of one of our r1vers, where they took out a large amount of gold-one chunk weighing $1,500, with quartz at- tache<!. It is well known that In those <lays, little, if anything, was !mown about gold-bearing quartz by the com- mon Cahfornm mmer. However, the proof of the pmldmg '~ ns in the eat- mg, and ta find the ctJrnmon earner of this gold was the questiOn which sorely puzzled them. .Above thelf claim to the r1ght \VIIS .a large conlclll mountain, s.tanding with side.s and river, where \ What a well dressed gentleman • that IS !\ remarked a Rtranger frony Onion Creek, as a gentleman m an ell)' gant turnout dashed down Anstln avenue. \ Yes, but he JUst I! vc.q from hnnclto mouth.'' \Why th tt'R 1 t•ry smgul.1r.
