By the 15th of May, when the advance of the Federal fleet appeared, after their cautious dallying, these beginnings of defences were made ; and the three guns, manned by Confederate marines, gloriously-lbeat- off the gunboats Monitor and Galena, with no little damage of their boasted invulnerability. The benefit wrought "by these events upon the temper of the people, which was before tending fast to abject discouragement, cannot be described by words. The Confederate authorities had doubtless d...ecided with perfect correctness, according to the technical maxims of war, that Richmond was untenable; but fortunately, the great heart of the " Unterrified Commonwealth " was wiser than the intellect of the Government. Her glorious example sent a quickening pulsation of generous shame, of hope, and of courage, through the veins of the army and of all the States. Throughout the Confederacy, her high determination. was re-echoed ; the people everywhere resolved rather to sacri- fice their homes to the magnanimous work of defence, than to yield them a coveted prey to the enemy ; the Government and Generals began, in good earnest, to prepare for holding the Capital against every assault.
