GROWING OLD. The departure of youth munilVsU itaolf iu unniittLakublv in the habitudua ut the mind as in the gray huir and fuiling strength. In youth we live in the i'uturo. Wo see v in ions and dream dreams, We build castles oi enchant mont, which we famish and poople with a vivid imagination. We picture the fuiront bride, the fuiront iriondg and tbo moot flowery pathways. Alas! how does cxpcricnco disappoint uh. and show us the vanity ot human wiuhes, as wo find ono idol alter an other rudely ihattercd or wisely with neld. Our thoughts are now mainly in tbo past, and wo are busier with momohvs than with hopes. We dream not so much of the conquests to bo achieved as of the golden opportuni ties now passed Dcyond recall ol the rich treasures of time and talent wo bttvo wanted. Wo think less ot our merry compauiuus, and of the favora ble impreHttions we make, than wo do of tbo contemuoraries who are one af ter a notb or ptuwing away f rom us loss of our conquest in love, now that smiles are scarcer than kisses wore then, than of some whom wo have slighted in that olden time. Have we ever noticed, in lorming one ot an as sembly o! poople in our youth how every one seemed mature compared with ourselves? Now, when we look around us, how greatly do the young seem to predominate. When we ro membor tbo roHO-tint of romanco with which tbo froahness and vividness of every new impression tinged our early day, and now find that existence is no longer a dream, but a reality, and that there is so little to look forward tois it any wonder that wo cast a longing look behind I Tbo character of our lifo is fixed, and our occupation and as sociations prom i bo to be, in the future, very mnch what they now are. Do we notice how much moro rapidly each succeeding year seems to puss away? Cannot we romemtwr how, in our childhood, the term ot a year appear ed interminable, and wo thought wo would compress into that grout space utmost any amount ol work and play? But as we fret older, bow is it that, with all our industries, time seems too short for tbo work wo take in band? We boooine so engrossed that holy days and holidays are aliko invaded. And, after all is done, how much is lelt unfinished, how many schemes remain ed untried? "Itisintlioiotemnthougbt connected with middlo lifo" says tho lato eloquent F. W. Robertson, "that life's last business is begun in earnest, and it is thon midway between tho cradle and tho gravethat a man be gins to marvel that he let the days ol youth go by so halfor.joycd.,, It is tbe pohsive autumn feeling it is tho sensation of half sadnoss that we ex-1 porienoe whon the longost day of tho year is past, and evory day that fol lows is shorter, and theliubtfuint, and the feeble shadows tell that nature is hastening with glgantio footsteps to hor Winter's grave. Ho does man look upon his youth. Whon the first gray hairs become visiblewhen tbo tin wolcomo truth fostenes itself upon the mind that a man is no longer going up hill, but down, and tho sun is wester ing ho looks back on things behind. Wnen wo wore children, wo thought as children. Hut now there lies before db mRnhood, with Its earnest work, and then old age, and then tho gravo, and then homo.

REMARKS OF HON. W. A, WALLACE OK tBK BITEB AND HABBOB BILL, : 1-1 Tilt V. . H EM ATE, JULY 18, INTO. Tito Sonata, ft iu t'ommitloo of the Wholo, ruKumed the consideration of tbo bill (11. li. Ho. 3022) making ap propriations for the construction, re pair, preservation, and completion of uurtaiu iiuuuu w'jntB on rivers una harbor, and for other nurnoaoa. Tho President pro tempore. Tho auoa- tion ia on tbe motion of tbe Senator from Ohio Mr. Tburmanl to recom mit the bill to tha Commilte on Ap- Jiropriutiona with, instructions to ro luce the agfrru,aU - amount oi the ap propriations contained in the bill to a sum not exoeouinir l,U(i(i,uwi. Mr. Wallace Mr. President, tbe pending motion ie ono to recommit with instructions to reduce tba total to four millions. 1 shall support this motion of the Senator from Ohio main ly bocauso of tho instructions it con tains. I regard this bill in its present proportions as a monstrosity, as it has already boon characterised on the floor ot the bonato, and 1 will take any par liamentary means in my power to re dueo its proportions. Tho first of those, it seems to mo, is to and it to tbo propor committee in order that they may endeavor tnoro to Dnnit it down to what it ought to be. Following that, if that shall not prevail, comes the motion of the Sonutor from Ver mont, which is to striko out all after the enacting clause and insert a pro vision by which there is to be nnnro- nriated 14,000,000 for rivors and har bors, which re to be expended nndor tho direction of tho secretary of n ar. To such a proposition 1 cannot agree. It Is exceedingly bad, In my judgment. Thore is no safety or propriety in in safety or propriety in in- trusting to any oftlcor of this govern ment, it matters not whether bo bo the Secretary of War or the Chief of Kn gineors, or tbe President himself, tbe power that belongs to tbe representa tives ol tbe peoplo to make distinct and specific appropriations of their money to icgitnnnlo obiects ot too covera- inent. nliort appropriations, distinct appropriations, siieeilie appropriations, are to ho made by Congress to carry out tho theory that is embodied in our nsututions, wliicn tho lathers regard cd as vital and essential, which is plain ly written In tho organic law and is as clear and plain us anything that bos come down to us trom the post. A specific appropriation by tho House of lieprcsciitutives, to be expended under tho direction ot tbo proper onicer with tho necessary saleguarus for expendi ture and accountability around the Treasury, has como to be an indispen sable American principle, and 1 cannot vote lo giro to any man the right to expend un enormous amount of the money ol the people without control and without direction. The are no times for losing the bonds of official ac countability or for loose appropria tions. But, sir, beyond, and above all this, what is Ibis proposition? It is, sir, a confession of the impotence of this body and of its coordinate branch of tbo government to perform the vory duty tor which tho peoplo have sent thorn here. This Congress, vested by tho people with power to mako appropria tions, to expend their money, confess es its impotence and practically says, "We are unable to pass an appropria tion bill; the Secretary of War shall expend tho money at his pleasure." This is the position in which we would be placed by tbe adoption of tbo prop osition of tho Senator from Vermont. I cannot consent by my vote tn any such proposition. No far as I am concerned, I shall en deavor with all my power, as 1 already have dono, to reduce tbe proportions of this bill. I beg to correct the gen tlemen on tho other side of tho Cham ber who hare said that all on this sido have voted to increase its proportions by voting to rosturo the ainondmonu strickon out by tho Senate committee. 1 havo endeavored throughout not to increase its proportions, but to sustain tho committee. Mr. Cockroll. Will the Senator al low mo moment 1 Mr. Wallace. 1 am about to an swer tbo Senator. When tba Senate by test votes upon at least three prop ositions settled the question that tbo policy of tho Committee on Appropri ations was not to be followed ny the Senate and refused to permit the amendments made by that committee to stand as tho sense nl tho Senate, then, at the request of a member of tho lower IIouso, I asked tho Senate to restore ono of tho oppropriations that was in tho bill ot the House, and which had been stricken out by tho committco of tho Senate. For that amendment, which was 111,01)0 for tho ieo-hnrbor at Chester, I voted. For all other amendments reducing the sire of tha bill, as mado by tho Senato committee, 1 voted. Have 1 answered tho question of my friend, tho Sena tor from Missouri 1 Mr. Oorkrell. Yes, sir. Mr. Wallace. I cannot vote for this bill in its present form on two grounds. First it appropriates money lor Im proper purposes, and second, it is ex travagant in amount. Wlionce coinos our power to make thoso appropria tions? It comes from tho power in the Constitution "to rcgiilulo com morco among tho States." "Commerce among tbe Slates" are the words of the Constitution. As 1 understand the authorities, coinmerco means and in cludes navigation ; commerce among tho States means and Includes inter course between them. Navigation, as applied to this clause, means as well ascending as descending navigation. Without notb the stream is not a nav Igablo water ol tho United Stutes. In tercourse means not connnerco and trafllc simply trom ono Slato by a water-course at its flood into another with out the power and means of returning, but also an opportunity for tbe pro ductions of tbul othor State to traverse tho highway and carry its productions to a market, A navigable highway is a water which possesses tho capacity of ascending as well as of descending. Intercourse moans interstate traflio. When wo find a river that has at its flood a descending navigation, but is naturally in such a condilion that it is not navigablo in the other direction, then we have no navigable water of tho United State within the moaning of tho Constitution and tho decisions under It to which we can lawfully ap propriate money. If I rightly nnder stand the decisions in Tbe Montebcllo, 20 Wallace, and th Daniel Hall, in 10 Wallace, this is now the doctrine ot tho law. Although thoro may have been In tho former case the recogni tion of the right of an appropriation for improvement of the Fox and Wi consin Kivers, which points beyond REPUBtlGM. this, yot careful study of that ooso sat isfies mo that tho law 1 as 1 have stated it That case was peculiar. This lino was an old thoroughfare. It bad boon used for many years, and its public choaaotor was recognized by tho ordinanco of 1787, and traflio was shown to havo existed thoro since 1718. The general principle is that where a river la not navigablo in fact that Congress has no control ovor it, but that its control bolongs exclusive ly to tho States, and that wbother Bueb a stream is a part of a continu ous line from a navigable stream, nat urally navigable, into another State or whether it lies wholly witmn the Mate is immaterial. If a river be navigablo in fact within a State as part of a uuiiunuouB iiuu oi vuiumunicuiiun tuo gross has tbe power to appropriate money to improve it so lur as it is so navigablo under tho power to regulate com morco. lr it lie wholly within a Slate and be navigable in fact if not a part ot a continuous line ot commu nication Congress has no control over it, and it belongs to the State to regu lators commerce. If it be part of a continuous lino from without to within a SUito, but its character is such that no ascending navigation in fact exists, nor can naturally exist, tbo Congress has no control over it undor this pow er, but the jurisdiction of the Stute is exclusive Apply theso doctrines, these rules of law, the now settled law, not tne the ories and dogmas ot fifty years ago but tne law that has grown up I rom tbe necessities of your ever expanding commorce, that which has come from tbe growth of your country, that which bos crystalizcd itself through tbo decisions of the Supreme Court upon the powor to regulate commerce among the States. Apply theso doc trines to our present bill for improving rivers, for appropriating money to that object, and we havo tbo question set tled, bocauso tbe court has given us settled doctrines. 1 bo rivers to which we may give tho money ot the United States are those which tbe Constitu tion of tbe United State as interpret ed ny the supreme Court have recog nised to bo navigable water of the United States, aud those, and those alone, are such as aro navigable in fact, and aro avonuos of interstate com merce In this bill as it came to us trom the House there are at least twenty in stances of appropriations of money to rivers wbicu aro not navigable rivers within tbe moaning ot the Constitu tion and laws. It is not a question of a short river reaching tromalnke into a State. Such a stream may bo navi gable for but ton miles and still be within the purview ot the general powor. It seems to me then that there ' - i : .r l u no room tor uuicrence ueiwtwn my friend from West Virginia and my friend from MnrylaniT They will both agree that tho doctrines of the Constitution as interpreted by tho 8a- prome Court are our platform, and that tbe decisions ot the court bave followed tho prnixrfwsive march nf that commerce which tho intense desire of our countrymen for gain ha pushed to it furthest limits in tbe develop ment ot tne natural highways and in ternal arteries of our great not-work of lakes and rivers. Tako my own Stato. What would become of the finances of the govern ment if under tho doctrines that are inculcated in this bill that great State were to como here by hor rjpresonU tives and demand that because the Susquehanna is connected with the Chesapeake Day and bears upon it bosom annually millions ot dollars worth of commerce from it headwa ter to tide water, because that river is navigablo for descending in it flood, that therefore tbe General Government is bound to appropriate tho roonoy which would be at leaat 140,000,000 to create ascending navigation, to clean it out and make a channel by which to ascend to our mountains and draw therefrom the vast treasures of coal, of iron, of grain, and ot lumber that we annually produce. No such wild tho ory has ovor been entertained, and we of Pennsylvania prefer that none such ever should be. Yot that is the doctrine npon which ninny appropriations in this bill rest That is the inevitable result of the ap propriation of money lor these small and non-navigablo streams. Wo bo lievo in no such doctrine. The Sus quehanna, like many of the small streams named in the bill, is properly and legally undor tha control of the State in which they are. Tbe Slate has exclusive control of them. It is a sound theory and good Democratic doctrino that tho Slato is to control the streams that are within the State when they aro not navigable in fact by ascending navigation. Tbe bill, Mr. President, ia too largo in its proportion, too profuse in expen diture. I havo nothing to say about what tho House did in referenco to tho bill. Wbother it was or was not con sidered there doe not enter into the question in my mind, but I Uke the bill as 1 find it and 1 but slato my con viction when 1 say that it is enormous in its proportions. In 180G and 18C7, when wo had 5ood times, when there was a rcdun ancy of money, when the revenues of tho government were larger than over before or sinco, tbo rivor and harbor bill was but a triflo ovor t.1,000,000. Yet now, in these times in which evory man is economizing, in which all are retrenching, in which the necessity for retrenchment comosto the government as it doe to the private citizen, thit bill is doubled in it proportion. In placo of being 13,000,000 and a trifle ovor, as in 18116, we find it now nearly 17,0(10,000. It is Said that political capital Is to be made from this. Then if tho bill in the House contained but 15,800,000 and political capital was made out of it in tbo House, what is to bo mado of it In the Senate whon it is swollen to tho proportion ot nearly $7,000,000 ? It nocossarily follows that tbo Senato lis taken the same line that tbe House took, and is inclined to make political capital too. But, Mr. President, it is nothing of the kind. We understand th process by which this bill has been mado to assume theso unwieldy proportions, and I for one ?o as far as l can to reduce It use. f I fail to obtain a reduction of it proportion I shall vote . against it Itathor will I permit no appropriation for rivers and harbors this year than to pormit a bill with such proportion aa this to go on the statute-book when the condilion of tbe country I a it ia to-day. Economy is necessary now ; and the taunts of our friends on the other sido that we are not honest in economizing, that wo are not bonct in retrenching, come with ill-grace when they look to the amount which the House of Uep rosantativei ha reduced tho appropri ation bill np to this time. Whon we find, a we do now, competition In every calling, surplus production on every sido; when we find and recog- nizo too, tho fact that the incroaso of but a trine upon tho cost of production that increased taxation make means, ii it means anything, tho destruction of some important branch ol your man ufacturos ; whon it means tho shutting off the blast of tho furnaces, tho filling up ol your mines, the throwing broad cast upon the country ot hundreds and thousands of artisans and, laborers, as it baa done in the State that I represent when increased taxation means this, is it tor us to fail to nursuo tho lino that endeavors to reduce taxation, to fail to pursue the line of retrenchment and oconomy ? We must roduco our ex penditures as tbe bogiuing of case in taxation. Sir, increased or heavy taxation means dacreasod production, shorten ed timo, unemployed labor, artisans and laborers thrown out of employ ment It moans, sir, more than this ; it meaiw -atarvation, privation, death in many an American home; it moans wife and children pining for want; it mean tho father upon tbe bod with tovor for the want ol tbo generous food that would come from proper wages to loilow trom lull timo ot labor and legitimate employment - These, sir, are some of tbe result that come from increased and ever increasing taxa tion ; and representing such a peoplo as I do, I should be luithless to my highest duty it l aid not appeal hero in my place for a reduction ot expen diture, whothor it be upon a rivor and harbor bill or upon any other bill given to us to pass upon. iiut It is said distribute vour monev. give employment to idle men. It would be a strange paternity, a singu lar specimen of governmental policy for us to undertake by this process to give to tbe starving artisans and labor ers of this country employment It would be quenching the smoke of the furnace, putting out the fires of the puddlers, and turning thousands out of employment to mock tbom with a pit tance, bucb a paternity would be that which would give to the children who cry for bread a stone. No, sir, let us reduce taxation by reducing our ex penditures; let us stop this system which ia driving out of existence oar manufactures, and let us by a just economy and reduction of taxation on ablo them to recuperate their exhaust ed onergios. Mr. President, I shall vole ag'ainst this bill because it is unconstitutional in many respects, as I view it; because it takes from tbe States jurisdiction over streams on which tbo States have the dbntrol, and not the General Gov ernment; because it sends tho agents ot tbe uoneral Government to destroy right vested under State laws; and because it is extravagant in amount and unjustifiable now, iiut belore i shall vote against it, 1 shall make every effort In my power to reduce its pro portions to a fair amount SANTA ANKA. ' Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, form erly President ot tho Republic of Mox- ico, died on Jane Z4, lata. n vrss born in the city of Jalapa, February 21, 1798, and entered the army in 1821. tie met with some success, but having been dismissed for insubordination, ho raised the banner of the licpublio in Vora Cms in 1822, and commenced hostilities against tho Emperor, Itur bide, and accomplished his evcrthrow. Defeated in tbe elootions, he shortly alter secured the ovorthrow of Pedraza and the elovation of Guerrero, who mado mm bis Minister ot t ar.

Shortly thereafter a revolutionary tool ing in Texas showed itself in open in surrection against the govornmont, and early in ISiili Santa Anna took tbo held and crossed tbe Kio Grande at the hoad of six thousand troops. In March be stormed the Alamo at San Antonio and massacred its defenders. At San Jacinto he was defeated by tho Texan army undor Houston, and was by him taken prisoner. His functions as President were thereupon suspended. He camo to the United States, and in 1837 returned to Mexico and stood for re-election, but was defeated. Upon the bombardinout of Vera Cm by tho r roncn, tne saiuo year, bo assisted in it defense, and thoro received tbe wound which resulted in tho amputa tion of a leg.

Undor tho instrument ol recon struction of Juno 12. 1843, ho again becamo Constitutional President but September 20, 1844, he was deposed by a new revolution, taken pnsonor banished for ton years. Ha then took up his residence in Cuba. In 1840 he was recalled, appointed generalissimo, and subsequently mado Provisional rrosiaont. ue at once marched north ward with 20,000, men, and February 22, 1847,attackod the American troops at Uuona Vista, 5,000 strong, under General Taylor, who repulsed him tho next day. He then raised a new army and was again dotoatod by General Soolt at Cerro Gordo, April 18. Ho at ono retreated to the City of M uxico with the fragment ot bis army, and organized a now one, 30,000 strong, for the defense of the capital; but the storming of Molino del liey, September 8, and Cbapullepeo September 13 and it, lOil, opened the city to scott s vic torious army. Santa Anna made a last stand at Puebla, but was attacked by Genoral Lane at Hnmantia and lurced to rotiro. liy permission ot the American commander ho sailed for J amoica April 6, 1848, and did not return lo Mexico till IboJ, when bo was ap pointed President lor life, with power to appoint his successor.

During lb French Invasion of Mexico be roturnod and was appointed Grand Marshal of tho Empire by Maxi milian. In 18C5 he conspired against the Emperor and was forced to retire to St Thomas. In 18C7 he made hi last attempt to regain th mastery of Mexico, but was taken prisoner at vera Cms and condemned to death. Presi dent Juarea pardoned him on condition of bis quitting Mexican soil forever, and be came to the United Stales. Attor tbe death of Juaroa he returned to his native anil and lived in seclusion in the City of Mexico till tho time of hi death. Th money and hair of tool are soon parted in the middle. THOMAS A, JIKNPMCKS. Thomas Andrews Hendricks, Gov ornor of Indiuna, the Democratic can didate fur Vico President, is a son ot Ohio, having boon born in Muskingum county, in that Stato, In 1817. Whon he was three years of ago, howovor, nu lather removed to Slielliy county, Indiana, and sinco that timo the luttor Stato has been bis residence. Mr. Hendricks roccivod a liberal education, and he gradnuted with honors at flan over College in 1841. Ho then took up the study of law and was admitted to practice in 1843. His thorough ed ucation and clear, logical mind soon gavo him prominence at the bar, aud bis succoss was of an exceptional char- actor, both in jury trials and before the bench. Jlo had an earnest man ner when stating a cobs or addressing a jury that made him at all times a dangerous opponent in lu-iu Mr. Hendricks began his political career, being choson to the State Legislature, and immediately took a high place as a sate, wise counselor in political mas ters, und a good leader in a fight upon the floor of tho House. In 1850 tho peoplo in bis district selected Mr. Hen dricks as ono of their representatives in the State Constitutional Convention, whore he added to his already estab lished character. Entering Congross in 1851, from the Indianapolis district, Mr. Hendricks remained in that posi tion until 1855, and engaged in all the discussions of that healed period. As a close dubator and keen dealer in fuels be had few, if any, superiors in that body, and his reputation soon expanded into a national ono. He was appointed Commissioner of tho General Land OHlco by President Piorce in 1855, and continued by President Buchanan un til 185G. In 18(10 he was nominated by tho Democrats of Indiana as their candidate for Governor. His oppon ent on tha Republican ticket was Hon. Henry 8. Lane. Tbo canvass was spirited, and Hr. Hendricks, was de feated. Shortly altor M r. Lane's elec tion bo was chosen United States Sena tor, and Hon. Oliver P. Morton was selected to fill his place. Tho Demo crats carried tbe Stato in 1802, the Legislature fell into their bands, and Mr. Hendricks was sent to tho Senate for six years. Ho was in that body at a time when it required coolness, dis cretion and courage to act with the minority. This Senator Hendricks did in such a manner as to command tho respect of even his bitterest politi cal adversaries. In tho impeachment trial of President Johnson, Senator Hendricks played a marked and con spicuous part, and his career in the Senate was such as to place him promi nently before the Democratic party of tha nation in connection with the Presidency. When tho Nntion- IlcmotTatie Convention or 18bo assembled Mr. Hendricks was presented br Indiana, and received the support of the whole Northwest, but Mr. Sey mour ot JNow xork, was hnully chosen. The same year Mr. Hendricks was again nominated for Govornor of In diana, and defeated by the liopublian candidate, lion. Conrad llaker. Ibe difference was only 901 votes. This in a full poll showed his local popularity and strength. From 1869 to 1872 Mr. Hondricks engaged in tho practice of law in the court ot Indiana and also thoso of the United Stales, iiut in the latter your ho. was for the third time put on tho track for Governor, and defeated his opponent, General Tom Browne, although the remainder of tho Republican ticket was elected. His majority wa 1,148. - Tbe verdict passed upon his administration by fuir men of all parties was that it was "able, conscientious and bich-mindod."

In relation to the currency, Lo said, on taking the chair of tho Democratic Convention at Indianapolis in 1874, that gold and silver were the truo basis of our currency, and that the proper method of returning to specie payment was through Ibe grow ing np process tbo dovclopmeut of tha resources ot tho South, tho incroaso of production and tho retrenchment of public and private expenditures. Ho consequently argned against tbe hasty contraction of our paper circulation, checking labor and paralyzing enter prise on the ono hand, and against un due inflation, which would lead to de preciation and a reckless spirit of spec ulation and adventure on tho other. He also declared "that gold and silver are tha real standards of value is a cherished Dcmocratio ocntimont, not now nor hcroatter to bo abandoned," and continued: "I do not look to any arbitrary enactment of Congress for a restoration of specio payments Tho business of tho country alono can do that" Mr. Hondricks is a firm and zealous friend of tho common school system of this country, and has labored lung and well to bring thnt ot Indiana to its present state of usefulness and porfoction. His appearance and man ner of speaking aro thus sketched by a lato biographer: "Governor Hen dricks is a man of medium height and symmetrical form. Jlo is oroct, activo and vigorous. Hi face is manly and handsome. The features aro largo and expressive, and while thoro is a soli, good humored expression in tbo largo blue eye and in the mouth and dimpled chin, tho brow, forehend and full heavy jaw sbosr wisdom and resolution. His complexion is florid and bis hair and sido whiskers are yet untouched by gray. He appears to tbo best advan tage belore a orowd, lor then ho kin dles with the excitement of tho occa sion, and an interruption or a Just from somo dissenting auditor is all that is necessary lo make him forget Ins ha bitual deliberative cast of thought, and fling himself into dashing and aggres sive argument."

Cus ter, who met his death in a dosperat fight with the Indians on the Little Horn rivor, on tho 25th Juno, wa born at Now Jiuiuley, Ohio, JJooember 5, 1839. Aflor being carefully edu cated he ontered tbo Military Academy . at West Point, from which institution ho wo graduated at tho outbreak of tho war in 1801. and was commissioned a second llcutonant in tbo Sooond Cav alry. Ho served iu the early oam paigns iu Virginia, and iu the summer of 18G2 was commissioned first lieuten ant and attached to tho staff of Genoral McClclIan, Ho participated in the buttlo of Yorktown. South Mountain and Aiitietam with great credit, and was also engaged in the brilliant cav alry raid led by General Stoneinan. In Juno, 1803, ho was mado brigadier general of volunteers, and, with a bri. gado of cavalry, held tho right ot the line at Gettysburg, a post of immense importance to tbo Northern army. Genoral Custer also commanded a cav alry brigade iu the Richmond cam paign from April to August, 18C4, and increased his reputation in tho field by sovoral acts of moro than usual bravery und military skill. Ho commanded tbo third division of the cavalry corps n mo snenanuoau Valley, and at r ati ng Waters mot and routed a forco of the enemy after a spirited fight While at Winchester ho cantured nine flugs, and his prisoners amounted to moro than tho wholo forco he had under flro. His brigado took an im portant part in the actions of Fisher's Hill and Codar Crook, and fur bis con- luct at tbo latter engagement ho wa brovoled a major general of volunteers. In n.n,l,A. titc.A f:n..i a feated the Confederate loader, General Itosser, with boavy loss, and then marched upon Waynesboro, and at that point overtook and captured the rem nant of Genoral Early's command. At tho desperate fights in tho Wildornos Gonoral Custer wa present and acted with his usual force and energy. Ho commanded a cavalry division whon Gonoral Lee was finally driven back on Jiichmond, and took a conspicuous part in all the battles which led to the downfall of tho Sou thorn Confederacy, lia acted at Dinwiddio Court House Sailor' Crock, Five Forks, and was present at Appomattox Court House, whore the fierce and bloody drama ended by tho sumndur of General Lee and his forces to General Grant. Short ly after this General Custer was raised to the rank of -major general ot volun teers, and in February, 1806, he wo mustered out of that service, falling back to bis regimental oommand in tbe regular army. On the 28th of July, 1806, ho was commissioned lieutenant colonel in tho 8ovonth Cavalry, the oouy wmcn no led into the late tight In 18C8 Lieutenant Colonel Custer was placed In command of tha. cavalry in the military division of tbe Southwest and the Gulf, and at a later period was appointed chief of cavalry in the De partment ol lexas. Upon his return bo was sent to tbe West and began his career as an Indian-fighter. In Juno, 1873, his regiment, tbe 8cventh Cav alry, formed a portion of General Stan ley s command operating against tbo Indians in tho Valley of tho Yellow stone and did good servioe. In tha following summer hu, mado a rocon noisance of tho Black Hills, and acted that section in endeavoring to pre vent conflicts between tbo Indians and tho whites. When tho Sioux became neosy and dangerous, in tbe early part of the present year, Colonel Cus ter was ordered to tako part in a mili tary expedition for the purpose ot bringing them into subjection. Tbe force, numbering about thirty-five hun dred men, was divided into three col umns, led by General Terry, General Crook and General Gibbon, Custer be ing second in edinmaud nndor Gonoral Terry. Tho first fight was at Rosebud Crooll, trhttt-., aftoe' a, stubborn flght, tbe whites bold tho ground, but did not pursue the Indians. The second conflict was between Custer's loroo aud a party of Indians numbering about flvo thousand warriors near the Little Horn rivor, in which tho white wore defeated with terrible slaughter. Gen eral Custer was an officer of determined courago, and his dash upon tbe Into occasion sprang from that reckless dis regard for danger which was a leading trait of bis military character. He was a writer aa well as a soldier, and his magazine production, "Lifo on the Plains ; or, Practical Experiences with I ndians," attracted considerable atten tion both in Europe and this country. It was written in an easy, picturesque stylo, and tbo incident wore wild, ro mantic and exciting. General Custor was a favorite in tho army, and tho sudden end ot his career will be re gretted by all ranks of tTie service. In private lilo he also bad many warm and devotod frionds.
