A MAN WIT] .Admiral Franklin B Harnptor Ballimore Si "Maryland, so prolific of heroes in the old navy, gave to the Confederate States Buchanan, Semmes, Waddell, Hollins and others of lower ranks, but of equal fidelity. It would be pleas ant to linger on the others for awhile, but I am to speak this evening of Franklin Buchanan, the hero of Hamp ton Roads and Mobile Bay," ss.id Mr. ?.*C: Trippe, in his address yesterday evening at the Y. M. C. A. Hall, at the celebration of Franklin Buchanan Camp of Confederate Veterans of the thirty-sixth anniversary of the famous engagements between the Confederate ironclad Merrimac and the United States war ships Cumberland, Con gress, Roanoke, Minnesota, St. Law rence and the Monitor. "Franklin Buchanan;" he continu ed, 4*was born in Baltimore on the 17th day of September, 1800. He attended the best schools in our city and gave early evidence of a bias for a nautical life. When he was a mere ..hoy the exploits of our young navy at Tripoli excited universal attention at home and abroad. Some of its heroes were natives of his own State, and their deeds were the talk of every fireside. From them he gleaned the inspiration for his battle plans-'At tack everything, no matter what odds.' "On January 28, 1815, he received his appointment as midshipman. He secured his commission as lieutenant on January 13, 1825, after serving on the frigates^United States and Consti tution ; was promoted to be command er on September 8, 1841, and in April, 1842, was ordered to the command of the steam frigate Mississippi, and afterwards to the.Vincennes. "In 1845 he organized the Naval Academy, at Annapolis, and was made its superintendent. At the outbreak of ?be Mexican war he was detached from the Naval Academy at his own request, and ordered to the command of the sloop-of-war Germantown, and took part in the bombardment of the Castle of San Juan d'Ulloe, in the capture of Vera Cruz and of the city of Tobasco. "In 1852 we find him in command | of the steam frigate Susquehanna, the flag ship of Commodore Perry, on the expedition to Japan. In September, 1855, he was promoted to the rank of captain, the highest grade at that time in the navy, the title "commodore" being given by courtesy to a captain in command of a squadron. In May, 1859, he was ordered to the command of the Washington navy yard, and was relieved from duty there three days after the 19th of April, 1861. "He retired to his Marylaud home and in the next month resigned from the United States service. In Sep tember, 1S61, he was commissioned a captain in the Confederate navy and began that career which has made his name immortal. "At the suggestion of Lieut. G. M. Brooke, the old frigate Merrimac, which had been burnt and sunk when the Federal troops cvaculated Norfolk, was floated and rebuilt as an ironclad, and the name Virginia was given to the remodelled vessel. "Sailors had been hard to get, as we were not a nautical people, but they were obtained at last by diligent search through the armies. The offi rt ' cers under the command of Capt. i Franklin Buchanan were men equal to J the duty assigned them. *:It is the morning of tho 7th of I March, 18H2. The hour is noon and the day bright with sunshine. The sentinel at, Fortress Monroe, looking toward Norfolk, notices a huge vol- i unie of smoke, like a great monster, rolling and writhing in its motiou j through the air, while beneath ital dark object is seen to move along, ? slightly above the water line, with I sloping sides of iron and guns hidden j in inclosed embrasures. What audac- | ity was this going out. without a trial trip with the condemned engines of the old frigate, to attack the best .ships of the enemy's fleet ! But slow ly and quietly, with the calmness of certainty and the consciousness of j concealed destructive power, the Vir- j ginia steers straight to the frigate | Catnbcrland. of thirty guns, lying ott* i Newport News and Hying the enemy's i flag. The captain goes on deek alone | and demaids the Cumberland's sur render. The answer is 'Never!' Then , comes a blow, the frigate's side is ? ripped open, her after pivot gun I breaks loose and madly plunges to j right and left and back and front, ! crunching wounded, crushing the j strong, and adding to the destruction. The water rushes into the huge gap in her side, but her brave crew light on. As one deck is Hooded they mount to next and man the batteries. Then the ship gives n lurch to starboard, her guns fire into the air. there is a great roar of water and the salt wave , engulfs them all. their flag still flying. "But the Virginia is not satisfied and slowly she is turned to thc frigate \ Congress, of fifty guns, lying near, j lt took rho Virginia from thirty to mm FEAR. achanan, the Hei'o of i Roads. itt, March 9. forty minutes to turn around. The Congress turns to avoid thc blow, is partly successful and opens her broad side on the attacking enemy. Lieut. John Taylor Woods answers with his stern pivot gun, raking her fore and aft, and sweeping away whole rows of men at their station. Every gun crew of the Congress is broken up and her magazine is threatened. Some one crying for ammunition goes to seek it. and finds the carrying party in a long line. dead. '.Who is it fighting this section of the Government ship where the de struction is so heavy? It is the brother of thc commander of the at tacking vessel. Some one ask the latter if he knows his brother is on the Congress. His answer is, 'Yes, and it is my duty to attack him as well as any other.' Such is the heroic mold of the man who commands the Vir ginia. He stands exposed on the deck and himself fires rifle after rifle that is passed up to him. "The* officer in command of the Congress is killed. His successor, fiuding resistance hopeless, hoists a flag of truce and surrenders his sword. Taking advantage of the cessation of the Virginia's fire, the batteries at Newport News, which shoald have helped the Congress in her stress, opened on friend and foe alike. Two officers of. the Virginia were killed while assisting the Federal wounded aboard the Congress, and while the flag of truce is flying above them. ''Capt. Buchanan, anxious to save his brave foes, is stricken down by the comrades of the men he would be friend. His first words when taken below were, 'Open fire again.' Then from every available gun the storm burst on the ill-fated Congress. Some of her crew leap into the sea to swim ashore, others trust to pieces of wreck, while many resolve to die with their ship. Then comes a scene beautiful be.vond comparison, grand and awful, above the conception of poet's brain or limner's pencil. The Congress takes fire. From bowsprit and ham mock netting the bright flames dart in fantastic tongues and leap up the masts to the trucks, every rope a line of Gre, every sail a sheet of flame, every mast a mammoth link, crackling, sparkling, glaring through the after noon and the long night, till hulk and sail and shroud are consumed and the gallant vessel is no more. .'It was now T) o'clock. The Min nesota, a frigate, which had started to the rescue of thc Congress, was aground at the mercy of the Virginia, but the pilot could not then risk the channel on the falling tide, and thc Virginia withdrew for the night to Sewell's Point, and this memorable day was over. "Commander Buchanan was sent to the Naval Hospital, and with this day his command of the Virginia ended. But on that one day he had written a record which the obliterating hand of time will never efface, and in it the whole system of naval architecture and naval warfare was revolutionized. "The next, day thc Virginia, on her way to attack the Minnesota, met the Monitor. After six hours of sharp fighting the Monitor withdrew where the Virginia could not reach her, and never again gave her a chance of attack during her stay in these waters. On thc Virginia the casualties were a few slightly wounded. "Thc Confederate Congress passed a resolution of thanks to Capt. Buch anan and his command for their un surpassed gallantry. On the 21st day of the following August (.'apt. Buch anan was appointed admiral, au office newly created, and became the ranking officer of the Confederate navy. "In the summer of 180*4 the Con federate fleet lay off Kort Morgan, guarding the approaches to the city of .Mobile. It consisted of the ram Ten nessee, the flag ship, and of the gun boats Baltic, Morgan, Gaines and Selma. The Tennessee was stronger constructed and had a good armament. Thc others were rather river craft und tug boats mad? over. "The Federal fleet had been lying off the bay in the <?ulf of Mexico, lt consisted of ten wooden ships, of which the Hartford was thc flag ship of Admiral Farragut, in command. On the 4th of August it was reinforc ed by four monitors. Then all were made ready for action, and on thc next morning the fleet was seen to he advancing. Admiral Buchanan was below when their movement was re ported, and ?roing on deck, saw thc enemy s vessels heading for the 'pas sage' past the fort. "'In the words nf one of his own officers, "the grand old admiral 'd' i?U years, with his countenance rigid and stern, showing a determination for battle in "very line, then gave his only order: 'Get under way. Capt. .Johnson. Head for the leading ves sel and fi ir 111 each one as they pass us. And sr? thc Tennessee moved toward the Federal fleet, which was advancing in two lines, the monitors nearesi fort and the frigates outside, they approached the foremost n tor, the Tecumseh, was seen to s der, then to reel and sink into the struck by a torpedo. The lea vessels of the enemy backed water steered to one side. This broke line and threatened to destroy t order of battle, but Farragut, ceiving it, pressed to the front in flag ship, thc Hartford, and cr; out, 'D-n the torpedoes; goah( led the way. The vessels as t passed the Tennessee swept her i their guns until nothing was left side but her iron walls. But the tie ironclad fought each one as t passed. For an hour and a half battle lasted. The enemy had t passed the fort, and the Tenne; turned toward it to lie apparently der the shelter of its guns. "But it was soon seen that her c mander had not yet quitted the bat for, to the amazement of his oflici he was heading again toward enemy's fleet. "Farragut, wken told that B?chai was advancing again, said, ;It is 1 his audacity.' and gave the order his fleet to advance upon him one one and crowd him down into thc t ter. The wooden vessels had b< altered with iron prows for the p pose. Down they came upon 1 Tennessee, one by one, at a speed ten miles an hour, towering high abc the lowly ram. Capt. Johnson ste in the pilot, house with some of 1 officers and men awaiting the bio AH expected to be swept under. T blow came. The Tennessee was whi ed around like a top. The main pn of the enemy was shivered, and Ca] Johnson instantly said, 'We are i right ; they can never run us unde But for an hour and a half the batl lasted-six guns against sixty-eigl As they swept by her their muzzl were not ten feet apart. So close we they that men wounded each other the port holes of the opposing vesse with bayonets. "Some one reports that thc admir is wounded. The surgeon goes seek him, and finds him lyiDg on tl deck near the port hole, covered wit fragments of four men who are slaii He is badly hurt, the bene of his le leg is broken by a piece of iron and sticking through thc skin. The su goon lifts him up, throws his am around his neck and carries him to tl cock pit, where he received Cap Johnson .iud told him to 'fight on.' "The battle continues, but the Tei nessee's steering gear having bee badly injured, and being unable t bring a gun on thc enemy, her captai so reports it. The brave old admin bids him 'Fight to the last! Then, t save these brave men, when there i no longer any hope, surrender.' "Twenty minutes later Capt. John son stepped upon the missile-swop deck and held up a white handkerchie upon a boarding pike, and the hatti of Mobile Bay is ended. "The sword of Admiral Buchauai was giveu by him to Capt. C?raudy t be delivered to Admiral Farragut Admiral Buchanan was carried aboan the Metaconnet. commanded by Capt James F. Jouett, and his fleet surgeon Br. Conrad, and his two aides wen allowed to accompany him. Admira Farragut sent a kind message when h< heard of his wound, lt was though at first that his leg would have to bi amputated, but the wonderful nervi and self-command of the old her? saved it. He was afterward removet to the hospital at Pensacola, and it: December, when able to walk ot: crutches, was taken to Fort Lafayette. "Admiral Buchanan passed through Baltimore on February 20, 1SH5, on his way South to be exchanged. This had only been effected by the deter mined stand of his Government, which refused to consider any exchange until he should be included. "Admiral Buchanan retired to his beautiful home. 'Thc Uest." in Talbot County, and with a brief interval of absence, spent the remaining years of his life in the pleasant association of his family and many friends. "Ile died on Monday evening. May ll. 1*74, in the 70th year of his age, and was interred in thc burial ground of the Lloyd family, at Wye House, about four miles from his home. In him died a man who never feared an "other, whose whole life was his answer to the call of duty, whose name is a proud heritage to his children, whose record gives honor to his natirc State, and whose memory will bc an enthu siasm to heroes of the future.' - Some persons, like the cat in pursuit of her tail, appear to think that they shall be able to make both ends meet simply by running around, instead of trying to iret ahead.

Sitting quietly in thc background afc the old soldiers' meeting herc last Saturday, looking as quiet and timid as a man who had never witnessed a more excited scene than a chicken dispute in his own back yard, was Mr. M. R. Finley, veteran, of this county, but lately a member of Company C, I?t North Carolina Cavalry. With all his quiet demeanor and hin timidity, a closer inspection of this old man would quickly show marks and gashes upon his head that proved unmistakably that he had shared in conflicts, the fierceness and terror of which we of the younger generation have no adequate knowledge. From a comrade in arms of Mr. Finley, the writer learned that the now old man had once, on one of thc many battle fields of Virginia, singly and alone, spurred his horse through a body of Federal cavalry, receiving hand-to hand their pistol fire and sabre stroke. It happened in this way, so his com rades say, and he won't deny it, and now has marks to show for it. Mr. Finley had gotten a fresh horse that had never been in action, and was dis posed to be wild. The command was on the eve of making a charge, and the captain of the company warned Mr. Finley not to ride that horse in, as he might prove unmanageable. But ride him he did, and with a glori ous but dangerous sequel. The sol diers were ordered to ride up in pistol fire of the enemy's lines, discharge their pistols, turn back and retreat. This they did, all hut Soldier Finley. He couldn't turn his horse to save his life. The animal took the bit in his teeth and flew straight into the Yankee lines. Here he was seized and his rider called upon to surrender, which he, of course, did, seeing he could do nothing else. Two cavalry men were ordered to ride with him to the rear, one on each side. Just as they had gotten well into the rear o? the Federal soldiers our men made an other charge, routed the Yankees, who wheeled and fled. Our prisoner iu the rear, seeing thc situation, quick as a flash put spurs to his horse, turned him and started for his own command, thus meeting the entire body of Federal cavalry, who were fleeing towards him, followed by our own men. As the Yankees met and passed by the returning sol dier, every mother's son of them gave a whack at him with their sabres. As one was in the act of shooting him. Mr. Finley snatched the pistol that hung at his saddle bow and shot him dead. When he got through thc lines he was as bloody as a stuck hog, but he rode a mile or so further yet, and in attempting to dismount after he had reached the presence of his sur geon, he fell in a dead swoon from loss of blood. On his head were niue sabre gashes. One of them across the forehead had cracked thc skull, and another on the neck had severed au artery. Mr. Finley, in less than two months, was back in his company, ready for service.-Mon rm- Journal. An Umbrella Decision. The law as to umbrellas was settled once for all by Lord Coleridge in a leading English case. His lordship held: "Umbrellas, properly considered, arc a part of the atmospheric or mete orological condition, and, as such, there can be no individual property right in them. In Sampson vs. Thompson defendant was charged with standing on plaintiff's front steps du ring a storm and thereby soaking up a large quantity of rain to which plain tiff was entitled. But thc court held that the rain was any man's rain, no matter where it fell, lt follows, there fore, that the umbrella is any man's umbrella. In all ages rain and um brella^ have gone together, and there is no reason why they should be sop- i aratcd in law. An umbrella may. under certain circumstances-thc chief of which is possession-take on the attributes of personal property, just a> if a man set a tub and catch a quantity of rain water, that rain water will be considered as his person al belonging while it is in his tub. 1 But if the sun evaporate the water and it is rained down again, or if the tub be upset and thc water spilled, then the attribute of personal owner ship instantly disappears. So if a man hold his umbiella in his hand it may be considered a personal belong ing, but the moment it leaves his hand it returns to thc great general, indivis ible common stock of umbrellas, whith er the law will not attempt tn pursue it."

Tlie name of the mest monumental figure looming up against the dark background of our Civil war-one who ranks with Lee, Jackson and Forrest, is rarely mentioned in our public prints-strange to say. It is the im mortal name of Raphael J. Semmes, the Wizard of the Wind, the Saladin of the Sea. The name and fame of Raphael Semmes overshadows Nelsen as the Alps tower above a mole-hill. Lord Nelson had every article and in strument of naval warfare furnished ready to hand by a great and powerful nation of sailors. Semmes improvised his own from raw Southern boys, whose lips had never felt the breath of tho salt sea. fie created from nothing a navy that astounded the world. In his little Alabama he swept round the globe, destroying (?84 merchantmen, war vessels, gunboats, etc. He be came the terror of the world of waters. For years after the war, when it was asked in Congress: "What has become of our navy, our merchant marine?'' thc indignant answer was:" (?o ask the winds and thc rebel pirates!" The "rebel pirates'' were mostly on thc Alabama. That lone "rebel pirate' ' stood against a 'Jiousand. De fective powder at last saved the Kcar sarge. This was the death struggle of our "rebel navy." A shell was placed in the stern of the K'irsarge, but thc force was too weak to^plode the shell. Otherwise the Kearsar^?.would have been blown into fragments. " If you have never read "Service Afloat" read it now. Semmes was, on the ocean, what Forrest was on land and more. Kcad the -cyclone on the Atlantic which spun the Alabama around within the radius of a mile for thirty-six hours, the tops of his masts lashing the mad waters. When the storm subsided he imagined he had been driven into the far South Seas. His vessel was within a mile of the spot where the cyclone had struck it. -Nashville A merican. - Alas! my new umbrella-I miss it with a sigh; the day I rashly bought it a friend was Rtanding by. Next day it rained-he borrowed it, to be returned that night, but since that fatal moment it hasn't blessed my sight. He lent it to a neighbor's wife, and to increase my woe she lent it to thc minister, and it's still upon the go. He lent it to a student, who lent it to a friend, and still it's going, going, gone; 1 wonder where 'twill end.
