The Monarch.

 

It is reported to the Col. Commanding, by Lieut. Col. Ellet that not a man on board the Monarch from Captain Dryden down, flinched from his duties when called on last evening to aid in the attempt to sink the rebel gunboat, lying under the batteries of Fort Pillow.

 

            The Officers and crew of the Monarch, to a man, all volunteered for the Service, and Stood to their posts, as brave men ought to do. The Colonel commanding the fleet reposes perfect confidence in the discipline and gallantry of all the officers and men now on board that boat.
