HANDY AT ANYTHINa.-As the Seventh New
York and Buffers Massachusetts Regiment were
preparing to march hither from Annapolis, the
parts Of a locomotive taken entirely 10 pieces
were discovered Colonel Butler immediately
called for some man among his troops who could
put locomotive together; whereupon, thirteen
stepped forward, who ately got to work
upon II under the supervision of one Of their own
number, who having been the foreman Of a loco
motive factory, found his own mark on the parts
In question, the engine being actually Of his own
manufacture. 1t was not long ere the machine
was In running order.
Again: when 1t became necessary to work the
frgate Constitution in front Of tae town he called
for men OF his regiment who understood seaman
snip. Whereupnn, whole company, from Mar
blehead stepped forward. and thus became capi-
tai sailors-rather than soldiers-for the nonce.
S;ill again: when II was determined that the
Torn up railroad track must be rrlad for come ten
miles. he called for men experienced in railroad
building, repsiring, &c; and fifty men advanced
pace In 'front.' thirteen Of them being civil engi-
neers and locomotive engineers Under the super
infendence of these fifty, gangs Of competent
mechanics Were soon at work; the part Of the
labnrers being taken by the members OF the New
York Seventh, none of whom had probably before
ever done days hard labor OF any sort in their
lives.
Again: when some days ago the cars and en-
2ines at our (Washington) station were taken
possession Of by Government, and tie regular
engineer Of the railroad company refused to run
the train out to the Annapolis Junction. mes
| senger was dispatched TO the Sixth Massachusetts
Regiment at the Capitol, and the inquiry was
made II any one amongst them understood the
running Of a train. No less than five practical
railroad nsineers Immediately stepped out Of the
ranks,
And still again: when Col Butler put his troon,
upon the ferry boat at Havre-ie Grace her
supposed they would be required only TO ferry
them over the river. But Butter ordered her head
TO be put about for Annapolis; and the pilot a
sysmpathizer with dsUni0n, shortly af,erward,
run the boat aground. Whereupon Butler called
for man capable Of acting a SusQuehanna.
