The early te.u lung of his mother had such an influence that when the .South seceded lie refused to desert the tlag and gave up home and friends, to stand by the liar nc r he was taught to venerate. This was Lieut. Edward Iaui, executive olhrer of t lie United States steamer Harriet Lane, on board of which essel 1 lirst saw him. The following brief narrative tells the story of his life in the navy: In the early part of the civil war the Government was much embarrassed for want of vessels, and among other officers I had to wait till one could lie prepared. Not to lose time, 1 proposed to take passage for Key AVest, where I was to assume command of the mortar flotilla. The Harriet lame, under the command of Lieut. J. M. AVainwright, was lying at the AA'usInngton Navy-Yarready for sea. Taking a travelling bag and a small trunk in the carriage, I made my wav to the Navy-Yarwith my orders. The Harriet Lane was a steam revenue cutter, converted by the Navy into a vessel of war." Her cabin contained but one small stateroom, which the Captain naturally wanted for himself. It never occurred to him to offer it to me, though I was bis commanding officer, but bad lie made t lie offer 1 certainly should have declined it. Lieut. AVainwright received me at the gangway with a smiling face, and my trunk was placed on board. Although lie was to have a passenger, AAainwright seemed surprised at the trunk. He, perhaps, would lie all I thought a hand-bashould require. Looking doubtfully at the baggage he saitl, I don't see bow we shall lie able to stow that in the cabin, but 1 must, contrive some wav." Cut it in the fore-toand get under wav at once. I said. looked astonished. I AAainwright am not ready for sea, lie replied; the coal is not all on board. "As to that, 1 answered, I never saw a naval vessel that was ready for sea; nevertheless, we will get under way and procure coal at Norfolk or Port Royal.

I would No, indeed, he answered; 1 die before would desert it, and do not desire the love of my family if I can only possess it by turning traitor to my country, I admire your sentiments, sir; dont let them depart from you. Pour nnles tielow' the battery we stopped to mend our wheel as best we could. I took particular notice ot Lea on our way to Key AA'est, being much attracted fiv his patriotic sentiments ami manly bearing. 1 knew many Southern officers w ho had failed to stand by their Hag for want of moral courage, and from this man's story I could see how much lie had to contend with in the step lie had taken. He had never Indore seen a shot tired in anger, and could not re tain his indignation at the idea of Southern men severing tlieir allegiance and even tiring upon the flag under which they were born. "I can understand," said lie, how men can lie excited to violence by demagogues, blit I cannot conceive bow American citizens, in i old blood, can lire at a vessel belonging to the navv that has conferred so mm It honor on the Northand South. 1 think the river flotilla could have enfiladed Cockpit Point while we were passing, and might have diverted the enemys ana and saved our wheel. Lieut. Lea served with me during the time 1 commanded the mortar flotilla, and his friends may well be jiroud of him for his chivulric courage and loyalty to his flag. AYiien taking leave of the officers of the flotilla at the mouth of the Mississippi, 1 hade good-bto last, who was still executive officer of the Harriet Line. shall never see you again.- - he said, "for I feel that I have but a short time to stay here. I am not sorry to go, for it is dreadful to live with the hatred of those whom you love and vv ho once loved you. I hope to die in defense of the flag', and I want lily friends to know that I did my duty faithfully to my country. In case of my death, sir, will you see this done for me?" 1 promised that 1 would do what lie wished, but told him it was foolish to indulge in such morbid feelings; that when the war was over his family would welcome him home again and would he proud of his record. "No, no, sir, lie replied. Y'ou do not know my people.
