! tho haystacks they had just captured,
J. not before, however, they had lost many
killed and wounded, whom they we're
necessit itatod TO abandon in their front for
tho time being.
Johnson's Division was contronted by
French's entire corps Of tho Army Of the
Potomac. Yet tho enemy dared not to
advance, despite his overwhelming pre-
ponderance Of numbers. From hill to
! hill q terrific fire was maintained cans
ing heavy losses to the con tending forces,
until night came, when the firing ceased.
In Company II. Of the 10th Louisiana
Infantry, q private soldier, VDonDell,
brave lrishman, entreated his Captain
to allow him to 20 between the oppos.
ing lines, that he might bring in a
wounded comrade, named Masterson,
to whom he was greatly attached. The
Captain refused ut first, on the ground
that his duty dictated to him that be
should not expose nselessly the lives Of
his men. lie sympathized deeply with
tho wounded man, he said; but the Fed.
e1al skirmisbers would surely see him
(ODonnell) aud he might be killed
without accomplishing anything for tho
relief Of bis friend.
81 will crawl on my hands and knees,
Captain, said O'Donnell; and 81 am
sure they won't see me-" At last the
Captain yielded and the heroic soldier
started on his noble, though perilous
mission. Close to the ground did ODon-
nell crouch, ~ he crawled to the spot
where lay his wounded co'urade. lie
had scarcely reached him, whee he YVES

who opened Gre on the two friends.
"For Gods sake" said the wounded SOL

before we arc both killed" u'DoDnel)
obeyed his request and in few minutes
he had reached his company, where in
answer to his Captains anxious ipqniry,
he replied in . tremulons tone '''The
Yankees saw mo, Captain, and had TO

hours, the victim Of his noble devotion
to his c0mrade.
At midnight Johnsons division fell
back across tho Mine Run, having
checked tho eEemy's advance, at tho cost
of eight hundred killed and wounded.
Many deeds Of valor add lustre to the

of bravery and devotion have and will

ACT POSITION,

SENATOR CAMERON DEFINES HIS EN-
ACT POSITION.
Washington, March 12. - Senator
Cameron of Pennsylvania said to-day
that he was very much annoyed at
the repeated publications continually
appearing in the newspapers with re-
gard TO his views and position on the
presidential question; he had but one
position, had never expressed but one
opinion, and did not think he should
find it Necessary to change either.
Without attemption to deny in detail
every Struggling paragraph purporting
10 express his views, he would say
generally and finally that he was in
favor of General Grants nomination
to the presidency and had no second
choice. His confidence that Grant
| would be nominated on the first ballot
was as strong as human confidence
could be, and he believed that the
contest would be practically settled
long before the convention met at
| NnlCdSO. NlulIlt anu OlilO IlllSllU CttS'
complimentary votes for their iavorite
sons, but enough States would go there
| instructed for Grant to make the con-
test useless, and he anticipated that
the first ballot would carry nearly al
the States for Grant. Senator Came
ron further said he had never thought
for moment or listened to a sugges-
ton as to what he would do "if Gran
were out of the way" because such
an event was impossible. Nothing
but death could prevent Grants nom
ination now. The Senator'S expression
of his views would not be misunder
stood to mean anything except that III
was confident of Grants nomination
and founded his confidence upon in
formation that was not all known tt
the public.

"A claim brought forward in Con-
gress on Wednesday last is a curious
instance of the interruption of Il chain
OF events which might have happened.
The claim is that of Colonel S. C..
Reid, as heir, for damages, owing to
the destruction of the brig General
Armstrong by the British at Fayal in
the war of 1912. The Armstrong had
seven guns and a crew Of ninety men,
while the British squadron which at
tackled her consisted of three men-Of-
war, carrying 1876 guns and 1000 men,
This squadron was part ola fleet which
intended to go to New Orleans to aid
the British, and if it had arrived the
town would have been lost, but the
squadron falling in with the Arm
strong an engagement took place il
which the British lost over 800 men
and their fleet was delayed, This
claim was brought against Portuga
and prosecuted for many years, but j
was finally laid before Louis Napoleon
as arbitrator, who decided against tn
United States and the claimants nov
press their cases upon Congress,

-Four Gilman an recently appeared
before the Supreme Court Of New
York as the incorporators of Lang We
Tong Eng Wi, which was dicoycred
to mean "The Order and Brotherho Od
of Masons." Naturally enough, in
view of the discovery of so-saled Ma
sonic emblems under our "C!eopatra's
Needle" and the consequent discus
sion of the antiquity of Masonry, this
curious fact was Investigated, and the
Chinese incorporators said that they
We're Masons before they came to
America: that they had been tried and
proved as such by American and Eng
lish Masons; that they have evidence
to prove the existence Of Masonry in
China for thousand years, and that
the signs and grips are the same as
those of other Masons. The pass
words, although differing in sound
have the same significance as those Of
European Masons.

Colonel Hay says that at a dinner
not long ago with Senator Blaine he
felt more than ever that he had never
seen a man with such universal and
exact knowledge. Blaine was at
home on every subject Of conversation
whether it We're of general or special
interest. With learned naturalist he
could discuss minutely and intelli-
gently on the most abstract theories of
evolution. With physicians he could
discuss the latest theories of disease,
while his knowledge of mechanics
aud chemistry was such that he could
explain the newest discoveries in elec,
tricity and the appli cation Of steam
OF wit he was overhowing. In liter
ature he was copious with criticisms
and memoirs of the best authors. As
q story-teller nobody at the table coult
approach the protection of Blaine.

Republican vote. He will not draw a sin

absurd to suppose that self respecting 10
dependent voters, seeking mainly mora
purity of administration, would go to 9
man whose record is blotched with such
offences. His nomination was a colossa
mistake. and the party understood this in
forty eight hours after il was committed

the Republicans who are quietly agitatinR
the withdrawal of Garfield in the face OF
the enemy have been plainly told that such
move would only be adding second
