MAJOR ROBERT ANDERSON, U, s,A,

This gallant and distinguished officer, who now
occupies the important and trying position of com.
mander of Fort Moultrie, is native of Kentucky,
and was bornSeptember, 1910. On the first day of
July, 1921, he entered the Military Academy at
West Point, whence he graduated July l. 1925,
taking high position in a large class composed of
such men Alexander Dallas Bache, Col Benis.
min Huger, Col Francis Taylor, Col Charles F.
Smith, and others, who have been distinguished as
well in civil life as in the line of their profession
His first commission was that ofBrevet Second Lieu
tenant of the Second Artillery, July /, 1925, and
he was subsequently promoted Second Lieutenant
in the Third Regiment, dating from the same dav.
From May to October, 1852, he was acting in
spector General of the Illinois Volunteers in the
Black Hawk war; and it is here worthy of note,
that the President elect, Mr. Lincoln, was one of
the captains of those troops. In June, 1888, he
was promoted First Lieutenant, and between 1885
and 1888, was Assistant Instructor and Inspector
at the United States Military Academy. In 1888
he became Aid de camp to Major General Scott;
and in the following year published Construction
for Field Artillery, Horse and Foot arranged for
the service of the United States" ''For gaIlantry
and successful conduct in the war against the Flor
ida Indians" he received the brevet of Captain,
bearing date April ,, 1888. July T, 1888, he be-
came Assistant Adutant General with the rank of
Captain, which he relinquisbed subsequently, to
being promoted to captaincy in his regiment, Oc-
tober, 1871.
In March, l847 he was with the Third regiment
of artillery, in the army of General Scott and took
part in the sege of Vera Cruz-beng one Of the of
fcers to whom was entrusted, by Gen. Bankhead the
command of the batteries. This duty he performed
with signal skill and gallantrv, and he continued
with the army until its triumphal entry into the
city of Mexico, in September following. During
the operations in the valley of Mexico he was attach
ed to the brigade Of General Garland, which form.
ed part of General WOrth's division. In the at
tack on Ell Molino del Rey, the Sth ofSeptember,
where he was wounded very severely his conduct
was the theme ofespecal praise, and for gallant and
mertorious conduct in this battle he was promoted
to the brevet rank of Major, dating September s,
1S47. October 5, 1857, he was promoted to the po-
sition of Major of the First Artillery, which he now

both objects will be afforded by our Letter

We understand that the Committee appointed
at the Mass Meeting held in Baltimore on Saturday
evening last, had interview with Governor
Hicks, at the Executive Mansion, on Christmas
Eve. The whole subject of our national difficult
ties was fully discussed with his ExcelIency, and
the desire of the people to have the Legislature
convened, and the necessity for such action, were
earnestly expressed behalf of the Committee
composed of the following gentlemen: Chief JUS
tce LEGRAND, Chairman; WM. H. d. c. WRIGHT,
WIN. II. RYAN, and THOMAS G. JENKINS, Esqrs-
During the conversation, the GOVERNOR, while dsap-
proving of the secession of South Carolina, as be-
ing too preciritate, was equally emphatic in
pressing his entire opposition to any measure of
coercion, saying, that if any attempt were made
to coerce that State, he would shed his blood in
her defence as soon as any other citizen Of the
UNITED STATES. The GOVERNOR adhered,
however, most firmly, to his determine
ton not to call together the Legislative
Body until some action should be taken by
the other border States. What action he expected
those States to take, or what line of policy he had
suggested to them he filled to explain, but simply
assured the Committee that he was in correspond
ence with the Governors Of Virginia, Missouri,
Kentucky and Tennessee, and was awaiting the
progress of events. The Governor read to the COM
mittee a copy of letter he had recently addressed
to the Hon. JOHN J. CRITTENDEN, in which he re-
commended as highly important, that Mr.. CR1T-
TENDEN should confer with the Hon. HENRY WIN
TER DAVIS; and stated that though he Governor
EIIcKs) had differed, of late from some of the
political views of Mr.. DAVIS, yet the great abili-
ties undoubted patriotism and unqlestioned nerve
of that gentleman peculiarly fitted him to be con-
suited with in relation TO the settlement of the
present national difficulties.
Before the Baltimore committee left the Gov
ernors room, committee from the first dis
trict of Anne Arundel county entered and
made most strenuous appeal in favor of calling
the Legislature The chairman of the latter COM
mittee, Mr.. DoRsETT stated to Governor Hicks
that he had always been, and still was, political
friend and supporter of his, and that at the time
of his Excellency's letter to Governor PRATT and
Others he agreed with the views therein ex-
pressed, but that he now plainly that action
on the part of Maryland should be deferred no
longer. The Governor repeated his positive re-
fusal to call the Legislature. 1t is proper to add
that his Excellency stated that some of the gen.
tlemen who signed the call for the meeting in Bati-
more had written privately to him, requesting him
not to take the very action which that meeting
advocated. We can scarcely suppose that Gov
ernor HICKS would attach the smallest weight to
the counsels of any man who could so degrade
himself and we trust that there may be some
mistake as to the identity of the persons al
ludnd to

A New CoMPRoMrsE.-We learn from gentle
man who has had excellent means of information,
that the Republican members of Congress had
caucus Christmas day, at which letters from the
President elect were read, giving his views on the
existing difficulties. 1t said, that it deter
mined to offer to the South the admission of two
States to be formed out of the territory South of
the Missouri Compromise Line, with such constitu-
tons as may be agreed on by Southern men, with
the proviso that no additional territory shall be
obtained at the South without the consent of two
thirds of both Houses of Congress. 1t was also
agreed that the personal liberty bills should be re-
peaIed, and the fugitive slave law made more effec-
tive. This rumor seems so at variance with the
views put forth up to this time by the Republican
leaders, that we have no great confidence in its
correctness.

MARVELLOUS PRINTING MACHINE AT BERLN.-A
correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph,
vouches for the following: A new and highly valu-
able invention has been put into practice here 1t
is printing machine, dispensing with the use of
all other assistance, that of mechanical appa-
ratus. No persons are required to feed it with pa
es being accomplished through the instrumentality
of the machine itself. The paper for this purpose
is supplied in rolls many hundred yards in length
The machine first cuts sheet of the requisite size,
then prints, and finally throws it off newspaper
ready for the reader. All that manual labor is re-
quired to do is to bring forward fresh rolls and take
away the printed sheets. Thus, in the Vienna
State printing office, ten presses attended to by
one man only
