HI Midnight Rid from Baltimore to the
National Capital.
An old Washingtonian tells of a
thrilling midnight ride by Gen. Ben
Butler from Baltimore to Washington
to carry the news of the capture of
Fort Hatteras to President Lincoln.
After the fort had been occupied by
Buffers troops the general started on
a transport for Washington by way of
Annapolis. Atthe latter point a loco
motive and n passenger car were found,
and the general was whirled to An
napolis Junction, where he was stop
ped at IL o'clock at night by an officer
of the road, who said his train could
not proceed until the regular express
from Washington to Baltimore had
passed.
HAS the train left Washington yet?"
asked Butler.
1t had not.
Can not this train run to Washing
ton before the express will leave?"
The officer replied hat it might, but
it was contrary to the regulations of
the road.
"Then," said Butler, tive will do
it"
But it is contrary to the regula-
tions, insisted the railroad man.

Immediately the other men look after
Patterson, who ran out of the hotel

and so were the church bells,

the Pioneer hotel and threatened to
hang Patterson. Brown got a rope, the
lamp-post was handy. and Patterson
was all that was needed. lie had taken
refuge on the stairs of the hotel, and as
brown approached with the rope he
cried out:

up the stairs"
'Give me the rope" shouted Capt.
Staples, 'and I'll bring him down by
the neck"
Staples took the rope and started M
stairs, AS he approached Patterson the
latter fred a shot in the air. Nothing
daunted, Staples kept on. The next
time Patterson fired to XIII, and Capt.
Staples fell with a mortal wound in his
stomach. Patterson fled and took ref.
uge in an clubhouse and surrendered to
Louis NJ. Starr, Addison's brother, who
was then deputy sheriff. As he was
leading Patterson to Jail hundreds of
people crowded around and threatened
mob violence. sheriff Starr appeared
on the scene about this time, and, draw
ing his pistol, threatened to kill tho
first mon who touched Patterson. This
prevented trouble.

ADMIRAL AND GENERAL.


The only Remembered Instance of II Ma
Holding Both Ranks at the Same Time.
Rear-Admiral Samuel 7. Carter is the
only nun in this country who has held
high grades in both the army and navy.
He may be compared to an inverted
axiom. Il man who was big enough to
hold two commissions ut one and the
same time. lie was a brigadicr.gencral
in the army and n lieutenant in the
navy in the early part of the civil war
and n maior-general in the army and
only a lieutenant commander in the
navy at the close of the war. To-day
he is Il r~ear-admiral on the retired list
of the navy.
Rear Admiral Carter was born in Car
ter county, Tenn, and was appointed a
midshipinan in the navy February IA,
1870. When the civil war began he was
a lieutenant on the Seminole in the
Brazil squadron, and believing that the
navy would have little active work to
do he asked to be assigned to the army,
and on July II, ls6i, reported to the
secretary of war for special duty. lie
was instructed to go to East Tennessee
to raise troops and organize the Ten
ncssee brigade, to which he was as
signed to command in September with
the appointment of brigadier general.
His first engagement was at Wild Cat,
Ky, in October, when X~oIlicoffcr.

NEGROES IN THE WAR.

Colored Troops Prove Their Mettle at tn.
Assault on Port Hudson.
The impression still prevails in some
quarters that the colored people did lit
tie or nothing in the civil war to secure
their own freedom. The well informed
know that this is incorrect. In the la.
ter battles of the great struggle many
of them offered up their lives for their
race and their country. They made
good soldiers. and the officers who COM.
manded them frequently had occasion
to praise them. In the fierce assault on
Port Hudson, May ~, 1868, two regi.
mcntS of colorcd troops took part. As
the use of Negroes In the army was then
something of an experiment, Gen.
Banks noted their behavior closely, and
after the battle made this report: THE
position occupied by these troops was
II of Importance and called for the ut
most ~steadiness and bravery in those to
whom it was coniidcd. 1t gives me
pleasure to report that they answered
every expectation. In many respects
their conduct vas heroic. No troops
could be more determined or
more daring. They made dur
ing the day three charges upon the bat.
terics of the enemy, suffering very
heavy losses and holding their position
at nightfall with the other troops on
the right of our line. Whatever doubt
may have existed heretofore as to the
efficiency of organizations of this kind
the history of this day proves conclu-
sively to those who were in condition
to observe the conduct of these regi-
ments that the government will find in
this class of troops effective supporters
and defenders" The soundness of Gen.
Banks conclusions was proved in many
n subsequent action. Chicago News.
