GepernID. q. Buell..

The appointment of a new and compare.
lively unknown General to the command of
SO important division of the army as that
of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, naturally
leads the public TO inquire who he is, and
what are his antecedents. From the best
sources of information we possess, we learn
that General Bon Carlos Buell. was born in
the State of Ohio, End reared in the State of
Indiana Heisferty-two years of age, about
five feet eight inches high, of compact frame
and very deep chest, indicating great vital
power. He possesses almost herculean
strength in his arms, and can lift weight at
arms length that would seem too much for
one of twice his weight and muscle. His
hair is light and very thin on top, approach
ing badness; his beard, of the same hue,
worn full and unshaven, is beginning to be
sprinkled with gray. His eyes are blue, and
firm, yet gentle in their expression; but ter
ribly steady and unmoved in the midst of
excitement or danger. His weight is per-
haps one hundred and sixty five pounds !;
his carriage erect, his step measured, his air
quiet and easy, and not calculated to provoke
attention. In 1852, General Buell. married
Mrs. Mason, the widow of General Mason, Of
the United States Army, so we'll known for
his services in California at the time of the
conquest of that country from Mexico. He
has no children; but Mrs. Mason had two
the daughters of her former husband.
General Buell. was educated at West Point
having graduated in the class Of ls4L H,
has been, therefore, twenty years in, tht
army, and his service has been almost con
tinuous He has never asked nor obtained
so much as three months leave of absence il
that time. General Buell. went with tn
army in its victorious march from Vera Cru
to the City of Mexico as Adjutant of a regi
ment, participating gallantly in the sever
battles of that most remarkable campaign
In the battle of Cherubusco he fell danger
ously wounded by ball through the uppe
part of the chest, near the right shoulder.
The position assigned to General Buell.
second only to that held by General McClel
Ian himself; but those who know him bes
predict that he will be found to be the righ
man in the right place. He will soon haT
sixty thousand men, or more, under his com
mand, and grand results may be reasonabl.

An instance recently occurred, Showing
the efficiency and success of the Liberiaus in
I eeping their six hundred miles of sea coast
ffee from the slAve trade. II being made
known to President Benson that . vessel
withSpanish colors, and Rreputed Spanisrd,
was at Gallinas, the northern boundary OF
the Republic, trying TO purchase slaves from
the native chiefs, he dispatched the Govern
ment man-of-war Quail TO investigate fully
into the affair, aud if necessary, to seizs the
SLAYER and bring the prize to Monrovia for
trial. The Captain Of the quail promptly
performed his duty, and brought his prize
safely with him, A few days afterward, the
British cruiser Torch Captain Smith, ran
into port and forcibly took away the SLAYER,
although she had the Liberian flag flying,
was in Liberian waters, and awaiting exam
ipation by Liberian court and jury.
On the 1lth of September a three. masted
Spanish war.eteamer, name unknown, ap-
peared in the harbor of Monrovia, aud, with
out any notice of hostilities, fred into the
Quail whose crew were employed 10 fishing
at anchor, but who, being piped to quarters,
loaded her guns andreturned the fire. Being
joined by the battery from Fort Norris, on
Shore they were soon enabled to repulse the
attack Of the Spaniard, who retired, carry
ing away o number of the Liberisn balls in
her hull, and suffering considerably in her
rigging. She put into Sierra Leone for re-
psirs-where strict secrecy, it is reported,
was preserved as to how she received such
damage. Her officers evidently did not want
TO be the irstto make public their ignomih'
iops retreat and defeat.
. We learn from London that Earl Russell
has interyeued in the settlement of this
case England to be the mediator, There
is great propriety in the British Government
acting thus, owing to the strange course of
the commander Of the Torch, and that the
quail was present from it to the Liberian
authorities. 1t is to be hoped that this inter
esting African Republic will be fully and
heartily sustained in its jealous efforts to
crush out this horrid traffic. A few such
communities on the coast of Africa would
effectuslly accomplish this very desirable
| work, and save much reproaeh to the
American flag. All honor to Liberia courage
and humanity Philadelphia Ledger.

Government Chains,

Loud complaints are heard from claimants
against the Government that they are unable
to get the amounts due them, even when au-
dited and allowed. The cause of the delay
exists in the. fact that the Government is
now paying off the troops, which requires all
the moneys received. As soon as the troops
are paid for the past three months service,
which is being done as rapidly as possible, it
is thought other creditors will suffer no fur
ther delay.
