'i he following eloquent passage, descri- 1
l?in?r the gallantry of the colored troops !
during the late war. appears in Sutler's J
recent speech :
' On tlie 2f?th .?f September, ImJ-I, I was j
ordered by the commanding general of j
| the armies to cross the James river at two
I points and attack the enemy's line of works; !
! one in the center of their line, Fort Hur- ]
j rison, the other a strong work guarding
j their left flank at New Market heights;
| and there are men on this floor who will
remember that day. I doubt not. as I do
myself 1 gave the centre of the line to
the white troops, the Eighteenth Corps,
under t ienornl Orel, and they attacked '
' one verv strong work and carried it gal- i
! lantlv. I wont myself with the colored |
troops to attnek the enemy on New Market
heights, which was the key to the enemy's i
flunk on the north side of the Jnutes river.
That work was a redoubt built on the top j
of a hill of sonic considerable elevation;!
then running down into a marsh; in that !
marsh was :i break : then rising again to ;
a plain which gently rolled away toward
the river. On that plain, when the flash
of dawn was breaking, I placed a column
of three thousand colored troops, in close i
column by division, right in front, with
guns at right shoulder shift.
'1 said: 'That work mu.-t bo taken b\
the weight of your Column; u<> shot hum
he tired;' and then to prevent their liring !
f had the caps taken from ti e nipples of
their gun* Then 1 said, *\our cry, when
vou charge, will be. remember Tort Pillow;'
and as the sun rose up in the heaventhe
order was given, 'Forward ' and they
marched forward, as if on parade? w?nt ,
down the hill, across the n...r-h, and athey
got into the brook they came within
range of the enemy's lire, which vigorously
opened upon them. They broke a iittlu
as they forded the brook, and the column
wavered. O. it was a moment ul intense
anxiety, but they formed again as they

on with el <cd raiiks under il.c enemy s
fire, until the kea?l ??f the column reached
the first line of abatis, some it- hundred
and fifty yards from the enemy'- works ?
Then the axiiien ran to the i *?i?t to cut
away the heavy obstructions , ?K*li n?
while one thousand men <>t tl.e enemy
with their artillrr\ concentrated. from the
redoubt poured a heavy fire upon the
head of the column hardly with r than the
clerk* desk. The ax men went h-wn mi
dor that murderous fire; other strong
hands "rasped the axes in their -lead, and
tlie abatis i cut away. Alain .t double
tjuiek. the column ?oes forward to within
fifty \ aids of the fort, to meo: there another
line r>f altatis The column halts.Aud
there a very fire of hell i- pouring

the head of the column seemed literally to
melt n\va\ under the rain <>t imt and
shell, the flap- of the leading regiments go
duirii but a leave black hand - i/.es the
color.-; they are u(i .'main and wave theii
starry 1'ght over the storm of bnuic; again

in tny ear, they went over that redoubt
like a flash. [ Applause on the (i <n' and

General Gordon and the War.
Washington. January 12.
In the debate on the salary bill in the j
eiiute yesterday. <Jen John B. tlordon, j
jnatoi from Georgia. proposed an amend-1
ie.it providing that the pay of officers ol'j
lie navy, whoso f>ay is under $5,000 and |
vor 83,5011 he red need ten per eent.. and
liut (he pay of the paymaster-general. ,
uartormastor-srcncral. surge.>n-g oner a 1,
lid other staff offieers. be fixed at $5000; j
commodore of the navy, $5,000; the '
ice admiral and lieutenant-general of the I
rmy, $7,500. and the general of the army, j
10,000. Mr. Gordon contended that j
lie salary of no military officer in time of
race ought, to exceed that of the pay of j
f 'nitcd States senator, as a greater re- ;
ponsibility rested upon the latter. The j
ignity of the position was also in favor
i' the senators, who were the creators,
hile army officers were the creatures. The
ihor performed and the services tendered
y senators wero im-uuioaruhly greater |

Alexander Winehell's lecture at the Cooper
Institute, on Saturday evening, was the

titled "Glimpses into the Future." Hav.

probable origin and formation of the
earth and the worlds that make up the
universe, lie in this lecture described the
final end of this world, as foreshadowed
by the results of scientific research. !!is

trembled along its path on the wings of

Through the resistance of this exceedingly
tenuous fluid, all the planets of out solar
system are destined to be nreciuitated into

That ia the result toward which all
these activities are tending. It seems as
though all this was but a series of incidents
towards the attainment of an ultimate
equilibrium, All the stars have
their own proper motion, some approaching
the constellation Hercules. The conclusion
is obvious that if these suns are
executing their movements around centers
of gravity, through this resisting medium,
they will ultimately be precipitated upon
these center-. The evidences are that our
sun i- moving in an erhit so large that it
will take 18,000.U00 years to go over it
once. It has been shown that there was
a beginning within finite time, aud we
have traced a continual progress. Therefore
there mii-t he a termination withio
finite time, lmwer vast the period may be.
This is one of the cycles of matter, and it
secui.- probable that when this end of the
period is reached, when the forces of matter
stop, the arm of the Almighty will again
be stretched out, calling again into motion

Trotters of 1873.
The past year's trotting brought out
many new horses, and added fame to the
names of a like large number that had previously
become familiar by their prominent
performances
(goldsmith ]Maid has, a3 usual, taken a
prominent position on the rocords, but
there seems to have beeu less determined
eiforts to push her forward than last seasou.
At Chicago she made a record of
2.18, which is a second a quarter ahort of
her best time heretofore. This falling-off
does not appear to be a decline in her
marvelous power, but rather to be ac*
counted to the want of that steady system
"f campaigning, which seems necessary to
bring her to her highest form. The mishap
that retired Lucy from the trotting
turf early in the season, and sent her t>i
the breeding stud, deprived Gold'mi; h
Maid of the only contestant that i
capable of (rotting race after rsce wiffi
iicr ami forcing her to that marvelous
repetition of fast heats that distinguishes
hi r record of 1S72. Wo lmve thin your
vhsr cumins horses. that in an oc'-Mionrd ?
race have shown an approximation of the?
powers that promise, with another vaar e
seasoning, to place them on a plan-"1 with
Lucy and the Maid. But it must be sv.'d
of the former, that taking into account
the discouragements of trotting race after
rai-e, when overmatched in speed, site hashown
her elf one of the most wonderful
animals that ever graced the troulu_*
turf, and retires to the harem with the
hearty applause of an appreciative public.
Covered by .lay Could, she promise? L.
icxt season contribute offspring to inherit
the houors she has won. This produce
will not be her first, however, i">r if w?
recollect aright we have beeu informed
that she dropped a filly when three or
four years old, the chance result of an
elopement during her years of maidenly
indiscretion. Her career would go to
show that mares may become great per*
formers after having bred in their earlier
years, whether true as some contend, that
their chances are the better for it. American
Girl has acquitted herself well, b*t
has not equalled her old form. Her beet record
of the year ie 2.20. Occident, the
California wonder, has gained the leading
record of the year, by scoring 2.16f against
time, thus dividing with Goldsmith Maid
the highest honors of the files.
(>ne of the busiest and racgt improving
horses of the season has been Judge Fullerton.
His 2.191 at Boston marks him
for a rasper when he is in fix. He has
won thirty-two boats in 2.30 or better,
during the season, which is more than
has been accomplished by any other horse.
Notwithstanding this, he has been singularly
unreliable in his races, and thereby
caused much condemnation against his
driver. His in-and-out trotting seemed
much governed by his temper, which apappear?
rank and flighty when he is not
in perfect fix, and which we believe has
not been at all improved by the meroiless
and discouraging use of tho whip which
Mace has secu fit to apply when the horse
has been overmatched.
Camors has also greatly distinguished
himself, and his record of 2.20} at Buffalo
has enhanced his position in publio esteem.
