-·ext  to  the  erer-memorable  combat  between  the  Jfernmac  and  the  Jfo111to1-,  that  of  the  Carondelet  and  the  Arkansas  was  the  most  exciting.  Like  the  former  enaagement,  it  ended  in  a  drawn  battle.  On  .Tuly  14th,  i.  2,

:\lhance  About  two  nnles  up  the  n>er  ~mokc was  seen  acro·s  a  li ttle  point  of  lan<l.  which, as  Captarn  Gwm  of  the  Tyler  surmised .  proceeded  from  the  Confederate  ram,  now  rapidly steamm~ toward  the  T-,11  r.

:FERNANDINA,  FLA. 

Our  sketch  of  New  Fernandina  in  J 862  shows  the  principal  business  street  in  the  city,  called  Second  Street.  There  seemed  to  be  quite  a  joke  in. 
numbering  streets  where  there  were  not  half  a  dozen  in  the  place;  but  the  spirit  of  imitation  was  strong,  and  as  Philadelphia  and  Kew  York_.  with 
tlrnir  thousands  of  blocks,  are  simplified  and  rendered  more  easily  findable  by  the  aid  of  arithmetic,  so  must  be  the  >illages  of  the  South.

Jfo&t  cenainly  it was  distance that lent  enchantment  to  the  view  to  the  eyes  of  the  Marylanders,  so  far  as  the  Oonfedernte  army  was  eoncerned,  for  it  appearetl  that,  instead  of  50.000  recruits  so  conti<lently  pn)'lict
