ZOLLICOFFKR.
BY II. L. FLASH.
First in the light, and first in the arms
Of the white-winged angel* of glory,
With the heart of the South at the feet of God,
And his wounds to tell the story:
And tho blood that flowed from his hero heart.
On the spot where he nobly perished,
Was drunk by the earth as a sacrament
In tho holy cause he cherished.
In Heaven a home with the brave and blessed,
And, for his soul's sustaining,
The apocalyptic eyes oi Christ?
And nothing on earth remaining,
But a handful of dust in the land of his choice,
A name in song and story,
And Fame to shout with her brazen voice,
" Died ox the held of oloky.''
Affairs at Savannah.
Tiie follow ing interesting onespondence we
take from the Charleston Mercury of Mon-,
day last:
Savannah, Saturday March 8.
The Condition of the Savannah Defences?
Spirit of the People?The Che ham Artillery?
Gen. Walker's Resolve, t/'\, < tc.
A vi>it to this place is an antidote to the
ii f . / *
mill's. 11 is roircsinng to see the spirit of the
annv ami people, ami to witness tlieir defences*
1 have examined ali their river and inland batteries,
and the people may well fro I piepared
to resist the approaches of the enemy. I shall
not withdraw the mask from the many formidable
works now frowning defiance to the foe.
I was particularly struck with the number and
completeness of the light batteries. Among
these I was particularly impressed by the Chatham
Artillery, Captain Claghorne. The drill
surpassed anything I have seen. The officers
were perfectly at home in their duties. Their
i 1 >
11uim's are supero animals?ninieues?in line
order, and as they galloped into position in
lino, I ti lt satisfied they would make their
mark when opportunity offered.
Upon my inquiring in the armv whether
any depression had heen produced hy our late
reverses, 1 universally received the same reply :
u Not at all?they have only made us mad,
and we are determined to wipe them out when
the opportunity is afforded us."
It was a privilege to converse with the gal.
lant \eteran, Gen. W. II. Walker. Would to
heaven that his spirit actuated us all! lie
onenl V announces his determination to lnirn
the city rather than it shall fall into the enemy's
hands, or the dwellings he used hy the
enemy in a fight with his troops. As for capitulation,
he scouts it, and openly announces
that, if he h ad been fighting for a week, and a
deputation of citizens were to wait on him to
capitulate, he he will haw/ out/ man who >ita/.rs
Mich a j>roposition as soon as Ihi rope con he djnsted
around his neck'. These views this hnl.
let-scarred hero openly promulgates, and all
know him too well to doubt for a moment that
what he says he will do. The '.Jencral is the
military commandant Savannah, and, not
withstanding its occupation by tiie many thou- ;
sands of troops, the citizens assured inc they
had never, in peace, known their city kept in j
such perfect order and quiet. So much for the .
spirit of one man. Would that we had many ]
more such men! The (Jeneral informed me
that, as soon as South Carolina seceded, he j
offered his services to our authorities; and j
again, when Port Royal was attacked, lie hast
eucd to our assistance. lie is indeed a Cliev j
alier de Bayard.
The Cieorgia soldiers avow that Savannah
is part of their soil ? the door-wav to their
State. That even if the citizens (of which they
have no fears) were w illing io re-enact the
disgraceful scenes of Nashville, they would not
be allowed to do so. Regarding the city in a
military point of view?the property of the
" II w
State?tlioy have as'much right to the laml
and its brick and mort.tr as the proprietor':,
and they never will permit the footprints of
the enemy on its soil.
iterate.
NUMBER 20.
Such views should prevail everywhere. If
Gen. Walker's opinions prevail, there will be
no inducements to those addicted to the pleas '
ures of home, or the love ot money, to accept
or offer terms of capitulation, for there would
be left no private property to be protected.
I do not advocate the burning of our cities on
the coast by ourselves, but I can imagine a
worse alternative?their preservation as the
price of our infamy, as at Nashville.

Description of tlie Ttfcrrimac.
The screw fcigato Merrimac (now called the
Virginia) was built at the Charlestown Navy
Yard, Massachusetts, in 1855. This splendid
vessel, regarded as the finest of the sever, screw
frigaies built in 1854-'55, was of 3200 tons
burthen, and carried an armament of forty
heavy guns. At the time the Northern officers
: deserted the G?-sport Navy Yard, they fired the
: Merrimac, and burnt her to the water's edge.
1 For many months, since the Navy Yard has
! been in our hands, the work of transforming
! the half burned wreck into an iron clad floating
hatterv, has h en going steadily onward. Heavy
timbers were framed on cither side of the
| vessel, at such an angle as to form a roof over
I the gun deck, and bv a double lavor of railroad
j iron, placed crosswise and covered with iron
j plates, this roof was mr.de completely bomb'
proff. Light and air is admitted through a
grating connecting the upper edges of both
i laces of the roof. Tiie sides of the vessel, as
far down as >i\ feet below the water mark, are
likewise hea\iiv plated with iron. The engines
and machinery of the ship are also all below
the water line. She mounts only ten guns.
Of these four (ten-inch Columbinds) are o*
each side, with a heavy rifled cannon at the
! bow and stern. The Merriniac is commanded
by (ami. Franklin iiuel.anau. She is thought

who have visited her have pronounced her a
nunc formidable engine of war than cither the
Warrior or La Gloire.
i Till-: MINNESOTA, CEMUERLAND ANI) CONGRESS.
The screw frigate Minnesota, driven ashore
and badly crippled by the \ irginia, is one of
the bc*t vessels in the enemy's navy. She
was built at the Washington Navy Yard in
1800, is of 3200 tons burthen, and carries 40
heavy gnus.
The Congress was a sailing frigate of 18G7
i tonnage and f><) guns. She was built rt Kittery,
Me., in 184 1.
The Cumberland was a sailing sloop-of-war
of 1720 tons and carries 24 guns. She was
built at Charlostcwn, Mass. in 1842. Both
these last named vessels have been destroyed
t by the Virginia in one evening's work.
Sri i s.? Tlierc are unmistakable indications,
says the Augusta Chronicle ami Sentinel, tliat
the South swarms with Lincoln spies. The
int'onnation by which the Federal troops guided
tin ir movements in Tennessee could only have
heen obtained from spies or traitors. The details
given by the New York Herald of the
shirk of cotton in Augusta, and other particulars
relating to our ciiy' must have been dorived
iroin similar sources.
The cotton States must soon become a vast
military camp, and throughout their whole
extent military law should partially, it not
wholv prevail. F.verv man should consider
himself a detective, whose duty it should l?c
to detain tor examination all transient, suspicion*
persons. Especially should this be done
along the lines of railroads. Jty their means
almost unrestricted communication has been
maintained since the commencement ot the .var.
It is time some system should be adopted
to prevent the conveyance of information to
to the enemy. The passport system is more
objectionable in imagination than in in fact,
it is o| little iiicomcnience to true men aid
is very < H'ectual to traitors. We think the
necessities of oar situation require its ndop'
fior?.
