At one time outflanked and almost surrounded, he not only averted its danger by masterly manoeuvring, but held the ground he had won. t>c TT-r? mrrcw /yf rrrp ~tmv During the seven days of battle around Iliehmcnd Anderson was in the thick of the fray. At blood-stained Gaines' farm he was conspicuous. There, as night approached, and MeCIellan still held the plateau around the house, Longstreet rode up to Anderson and said that the position must be carried before night and that his biigade was the last he had to sen *. This was not pleasant tidings to wearied troops who had been fighting for twelve houio, but Anderson promptly answered, "If any one brigade can do it mine can.'' In a" short time McCleHan was driven from his last vantage ground and the "masterly change of base" was a forced necessity. * . GO -SG UP EIGHEP..

This it never did, but L-ongstreet's aitack being hard pressed, Anderson was ordered to make a diversion by assailing ilie position in his front, "which w?s handsomely done. The works were carried, and had it be*, n j possible to send him even two brigades j of supports, the battle of the third had I never been. None could be sent, and reluctantly he had to ?.ti?draw to his original position. The division felt this repulse keenly, and it was stated that its back had never before been turned to the foe. it went into battle about 0,000 j strong; the morning after it mustered less than 1,000.

After the bat : tie of that day .,rders were sent him to rejoin Gen. Lee, but they were not received. Assuming the responsibility, without orders as he supposed, because he knew he must be want d, he marched | until near daylight of the 0th, and reached the neighborhood of the battlefield most I opportunely.

K., reaching it in time to frustrate Grant's efforts to seize the heights. He was promoted lieutenant general and his commission dated the tJth of May, 18G4: thus he was the officer of highest rank from his State. The battles of Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor followed the constant lighting by night and day until Petersburg was reached; in all these Anderson led the 1st corps. When Longstreet had sufficiently recovered to resume I command of his troops Anderson relieved \ Beauregard, who had been ordered to : Charleston. With this new command : he held the lines immediately in frout of | Petersburg, until towards the spring of t 1865, and then relinquished them to I Gordon, and took his place on uep.

He 'watce a linguist of considcrah'e ability ; had a brother attached to the French ie^ulion at Paris in a humbje j c;:p icily, and to l;iin the future financier went twenty years ago. \Vhen Anson Buriingame was appointed to represent the United States at Pekin lie visited Paris on his way and took a liking to Butler, who Isa-i acquired quite a Parisian polish. Cutler spoke French and German lluently i and had had some knowledge of Chinese. He went with the American Ambassador to Pekin, where he held a position as at'aeliee to the United States Leg:-'ion. His aptitude for acquiring foreign touguewas so great that after a short residence in Pekin he mastered the mandarin Chinese. "When Burlingame left Perkin, Butler decided to remain in the country, where he had managed to obtain influence among financial magnates. He was appointed to the position of warehouse keeper for the well-known linn of Russell & Co., of Shanghai, owners of the fleet of merchant stemurs called the Shanghai Navigation Company.' The position occupied by Butkr wits giosl responsible, and the highest confidence was reposed in his business abilities. The Russell steamers were sold to Chinese business men, and the company was subsequently known as the 'Chinese Merchants' Steamship Company.'

"When the war between France and China was imminent, Butler succeeded in having the licet of steamers transferred to an American company, hurriedly organized for the purpose, and with stars and stripes dying, the ships continued unmolested by the French to ply between other ports and Shanghai. At the close of the war the steamers were retransferred to a company of Chinese merchants, and the business reputation of Butler was further enhanced. The Chinese government was hard up, and through the negotiations of Butler, a loan of a million taels was successfully floated, with the aid of foreign banks at Shanghai. Butler made an American and European tour. He went to London, where he was well received by the Marquis Tseng, Chinese ambassador at the court of St. James. "In the course of that visit to London w:ss hatched the gigantic scheme which lias surprised the financiers of the world. The chief promoters of the syndicate were then, as now, Li Ilung Chang, viceroy at TienT.-in_ j'ud Kcc Chung, the wealthiest and most intelligent o' the great Chinese m rchauis at Shanghai.

But v. e need not be over-anxious to have this name written in the Constitution so long as it is inscribed in the hearts of our people, and tspecially of our rulers. 1 would rather sail under the guidance of an expe ' rienced captain than put my trust in the figurehead at the prow of the ship; and so long as our rulers recognize the controlling influence of Providence in the government of the ship of State, we need not inscribe the name on the prow of the vessel.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 29.?Fireman Pioberts of the Wabash road arrived here yesterday on liis train, and tells a thrilling story of his experience with a mad engineer. "When the train drew out of this-place Tuesday, Engineer Botsworth appeared to be all right, hat before they had gone far Roberts noticed that his companion acted queerly. At Harvey he should have stopped for water, and the fireman backed the train down to the proper place, while the engineer acted in a dazed manner. Once again on the road Botsworth began to travel faster and faster until the train was running fifty miles an hour. Then Roberts realized that Botsworth was deranged, and just in time grasped the lever at Knoxville and saved the train going through an open switch. Faster flew the engine. Botsworth standing by with a vacant smile, and as they thundered through Bacon the maniac gave a yell and started to spring from the cab window. The watchful fireman canght him by the legs ?D.d while he balanced him on the window ledge he managed with his foot to stop the train. The conductor helped to get Botsworth back to the baggage car, where he was carefully guarded to Ottumwa and there turned over to the authorities. It is believed to be paralysis of the brain that ails him. The Story of a Policy, t* ; i The Valley Mutual Life Association, of Virginia, began business September ; /><!., 1878. Guarantee fund, invested in J bonds and mortgages (first lien on real estate), $108,000. The Valley Mutual Life Association of Virginia is the largest and the leading Liie Association in the South. Over j one million of dollars has been paid in ! cash to the families of deceased memj bers. The cheapness of its plan is demon| stratea by the experience of those who are insured.

At i the date of this insurance Mr. Tams was l 27 years of age. i . A policy of even amount and date in i one of the most popular Old Line com: panies on the ordinary life plan, payable ; at death only, would have cost him ' $192.75, or $21.50 per year?a saving of | $122.31 in favor of the Valley Mutual.

It indicates that i the attack upon Colorow was most unjusti nauie, ana says mat uoiorow, wnn ma kulire band, including women and children, Aycre en route to the agency in Utah, having determined to' abandon their claims to ; the old reservation, when they were over! t:iken about twentyrfive miles from the j agency by two officers of Colorado com! panies. They asked Colorow to stop where i he was until the troops came up. He rei fused, saying the squaws had gone on ahead. They said "All right. Go on: we will not molest you," and, shaking hands, rode away. The next night the Indians camped near J the line of a reservation, supposing tbem: selves on the riyht one and entirely safe. I Next morning the Indians were attacked ; while at breakfast by the Colorado troops an<i cowboys. One man, two girls and a i baby v."ere killed and several others i wounded, and the entire Indian property ; was captured, including 300 ponies, 10,000 sheep and gnats, 5,000 pounds of meat and i all camp equipage. j Indian Commissioner Atkins denounces it as the greatest outrage in the history of : our relations of the present generation with ! the Indians.
