Washington, ID. c.. March %. 1881.
NV Dear Mrs. Van Doren: Miss Nir-
ginia Mason kindly gave me your address,
and l take the liberty Of writing TO you
on the subject of a sword, whose history
may interest you. In the latter part of
September, 1862, ! being then a midship-
man in the service Of the Confederate
States. was attached to the ironclad
Chicora. at charleston, S. c., when
I received an order from the Secretary
OF the Navy. Mr.. Mallory. to report 10
Commodore Matthew +. Maury for duty
abroad. Commodore Maury appointed
me his aide, and we took passage III
a blockade runner, then called the
Herald. whose name was afterwards
changed to the Autonica. a picture
of this vessel is now in the possession
Of Miss Mason Our first attempt 10
run the blockade was failure. as the
moon shone out brightly just as we got
TO the bar, and a Federal sloop OF war
opened fire on our little cocklesheh of
vessel and drove us back. On the 9th
of October we again made the attempt
and succeeded in passing through the
enemys vessels. but we were seen and
chased for six hours. Our escape from
our enemies however, did not end our
troubles as our engines broke down, and
soon afterwards il was discovered that
our chrOnometers were out OF order. and
that the captain did not know where
his ship was. He amused Commodore
Maury very much by telling him that the
Bermuda Islands had disappeared be-
meath the waters Of the Atlantic. as he
had sailed directly over the place where
they had formerly been. Commodore
AIaury told him that he would be able,
TO tell him where he was about midnight.
A, that hour the Commodore took Il
lunar observation, and In a few hours we
were safe in the harbor St. Georges Ber-
n,uda. We remained there for about
three weeks. and then took the English
steamer Delta, 10 Halifax, Nova Scotia,
where the Governor-General, Lord Mus
grove. made much of Commodore Maury,
and entertained him right royalty, al
WAYS having ii understood, however. that
Il was the famous scientist, and not the
confederate naval officer. TO whom he
paid homage.
From Halifax, we took tho Cunard
shin. Arabia, 10 Liverpool, and thence
went 10 London. where the Commodore

his own country. j had never dreamed

No sooner was he settled in Sackville
street than the famous Admiral Fitz-
row called. and after that there was a
continuous stream OF dukes. marquises,
and >earis calling to pay their respects.

ROANOKE, VA, April T.-(Special)-
The approach of the May elections mas
started the local politicians TO WORK, but
as only ten councilmen are TO be CHOSEN,
not much interest is felt by the public
generally in the result. The fact that
the negroes are largely In the majority
in the Third Ward, and have declared
their intention of running one or their
own race for Council from that ward Is
causing considerable disqnietude among
the white Republican leaders. who doubt
the policy of such move at TINS time.

ties OF this district have already an
nounced their candidacy for legislative
honors, subject to the action of the party
