THE SECOND CAVALRY.

Gen. Garfield in his recent address on
the life, character and services of Gen.
Thomas says:
''He was Major of the Second Cavaly,
a regiment organized in 1855 by Jefferson
Davis, Secretary of War, out of the elite
of the army. Either by accident or de-
sign, three-fourths of its officers were
from the slave States. Its roster, as
printed in the Army Register of 1850,
shows list of names now widely notori-
Gus in the history of the war. Albert
Sidney Johnston was its Colonel, Robert
E. Lee lis Lieutenant Colonel, and w. j.
Hardee its senior Major Among its
Captains and Lieutenants were Van Dorm,
Kirby Smith, Jenifer, Hood and Fitzhugh
Lee. More than one-third of It's officers
afterward became Rebel Generals, and
others held less conspicuous rank in the
same service. The regiment had served
for five years on the Indian frontier, and
its officers, thus remote from the social
and political centers, had lived on terms
of the closest official and personal init
macy. 1t is difficult to overestimate the
combined influence of these brilliant and
! cultivated men upon the sentiments and
conduct of each,

GEN. PUTNAM'S EXPLOIT

From the Manchester IN. HI Mirror, Nov. q.
A correspondent sends US an account of
an achievement rivalling the famous ex-
plot of Gen. Putnam. On the 18th inst.
as ]. S. Gordon and ]. T. Clough, of
Woodstock, were gathering spruce gum
bark on Loon Mountain, in Lincoln, Cor
don discovered, in large cave in the
mountain, bear just turned in for q
winters nap. As they had no weapons
for offensive or defensive warfare, they
left him to his dreams and returned home.
The next day, armed with revolvers and
ropes, they returned and found the bear
quietly sleeping. Clough, revolver in
hand and rope about bis body, entered
the cave, and, finding Bruins pillow, put
two balls through his head, and was then
drawn out. Hearing nothing within, he
in a short time entered again, drawing out
with him black bear of the largest size,
fat as porker. They had to cut him in
quarters, and were three days in getting
him home. The length of the animal was
nearly five feet from nose to root of tail,
and the height three feet five inches. The
estimated weight was upwards of 800

During the late war, when the terms
''coppcrhead" and ''traitor" were the
choicest expressions which Radicals could
use in designating Democrats, and when
''the little bell'' of the Secretary of State
was in constant employment, Col. w. H.
Reynolds and Mr.. Sprague, of New York,
fell under the suspicion of the Govern
ment, and without the form of q trial,
underwent the usual penalty of disloyslty
in the shape of imprisonment in one of
the numerous mansions which Stanton
had prepared for those who did not love
him. They were finally released, but no
apology or reparation was offered for the
injury inflicted, and so the matter dropped
for the time. A few months since it was
revived and brought to the attention of
Gen. John A. Dix, who, being familiar
with the circumstances of the case, was
competent TO pass upon its merits. Here
is his reply to the application for re-
dress:
'The case was one of those which
sometimes occur in times of civil strife,
and which leave only the regret on the
part of the government that it has acted
on mistaken information, and that unjust
suspicion has, for the moment, been cast
on those whose high character and con-
spicuOus patriotism are sure guarantees of
their integrity. l am, very truly yours,
JOHN A. DIX"
This is the satisfaction which Messrs.
Reynolds and Sprsgueget after waiting fol
years for their government to do them
justice. ''The government regrets having
acted on mistaken information, and these
cheap regrets" are supposed to abund.
antly compensate the victims for their
sufferings. If they appealed to the courts
for relief, the plea of military necessity
would be entered, and bar all further pro-
ceedings; if they went to Congress, their
petition wonld be thrown under the table
and forgotten. In short, these gentlemen
have received all the atonement they are
ever likely to get, and must be duly CRATE.
full to Gen. Dix for that. Not very
pleasant commentary this, on the prac.

LIFE INSURANCE AND SUICIDES,

LIFE INSURANCE AND SUICIDES.
An action has been begun by Anna N.
Buell., relict of the late Jeptha @. Buell.,
of Cleveland, Ohio, against the Connect
cut Mutual Life Insurance Company for
the sum of $40, 0e0, and the suit is i'm.
poItant, as its result is expected 10 be a
settlement of the law of suicides as ap-
piled to life insurance CONTRACTS. The
man facts of The case are thus given by
the Hartford Post:
"Jeptha &. Buell. was insured in the
Connecticut Mutual Life, for $40, 900, on
the I'D of March, 1866, and committed
suicide by shooting himself with a pistol
on the 10Th day of November, 1869. Mr..
Buell. was also insured in three other COM
panies FIR &c., 900 each, making total
insurance of $4,000. Of these three
companies the New York Life insures
against suicide, and has paid its policy of
$4,000. The Connecticut Mutual Life
of this city, the Mutual Life of New
York, and the Mutual Benefit of New
Jersey, do not insure against suicide,
and these three companies have COM
bined in the defense against the suits
brought in behalf of Anna NJ Buell..
The case will very likely be carried by
either party which is unsuccessful in the
Chcuit to the Supreme Court of the
United States. We shall SO get an adju-
dicstion of the law of suicide which shall
be final and authoritative throughout the
United States
HJeptha c. Buell. was the cashier Of the
Second. National Bank of Cleveland, and
becoming defaufer, preferred death to
exposure, disgrace and Imprisonment.
The coroner's jury, as usual in such cases,
brought in a verdict that he came TO his
death by pistol shot, delivered by his
own hand, while in 9 state of temporary
insanity. .-r .. ea-f
Suicides are greatly on the increase
in this country, and it is quite probable
that statistics will show that the total or
partial payment of life policies in case of
suicide has largely contributed to their in
crease, aud it seems the question must be
a grave one to those companies who in
sure against suicide whether their policies
are bond of indemnity against the casu-
atty of death, as is their legitimate pur-
pose, or a premium for the commission of
the crime of splf-murdpr "

II is stated that company with
large capital, has been established at
New Haven, Conn., for the manufacture
of new and ingenious boot-making sew
ing mschine. The process of making
boots by this machine is described as fol-
lows: All work is lasted before being
placed in the machine; the lasts are next
placed in position, and the inner sole,
welt and upper leather are in one minute
sewed togsther. The outer sole is then
put on. The operation just described is
repeated, and the bottoming process is
complete.
