Some months.ago -a brief nO f tice was. given of an ittinerican nanaed Frederick Ward, whO, by his,daring, added to a stroke of good luck, had tanked - himself high in the list of Chinese Mandarins. A Sliangliae letter in the New York Herald gives a fultand intetestbil account of his 'character, and of themean through which he obtained his dignity a d his for -1 tune—estimated to be imuletisel large— from which we take a few extracts : • Two or three years ago the- Mate of a .coasting vessel came to Shanghae. He wavneither better nor worse than mates usually are. He was a grOn boyish look ing tellow with a fair skini and long black hair which fell in glossy{' waves to his 'shoulders. 1 'shoulders.' "There . "There was no great pee ) illiarity _about , him, except that his eye showed a Vigor- ouseconstitution and a, most ,iadcinitable pluck.: He was Pretty /1.344 41 s!nd was. unknown.. He appeared? hardly old e nough to have been much of aniadventur et, yet his life had been ajromanCe from the first. He had been with Walker .in his earlier expeditions, and had had a taste of civil War f are in 'the Shuthl.American States. But it was not in the petty strug gles of such marauders alone that he bad been. schooled. He had been in the Cri mea during the terrible ?war Which was enactathers., He had seen all 'the world in fact: He hadoccupied almost every position in the social scale, and' at last same to Shanghae the mate of a -coasting vessel, sound in health; and the owner. of a great deal more brains than the people gay.O him credit for. His name on the ship's articles was then plain 'Frederick Ward. - - 1 - Soon after his arrival, the city, of Shang-, 'hae being threatened and pinched by .the native rebels; neither the' imperialists nor their allies; the English,, Icould defend it. In this strait Admiral Hope,. N., pro posed and perfected with bin a plan by 11, which - Mr. Ward might Strike a blow at the rebel headquarters at'Soonliong, a ve-' ry well fortified city on the WOosung riv er. Ward 'organized a band of eight Ma nilla men; ran up the rivet, took the place by storm, for which serv,icel, was paiC the sum of forty, thousand sils er tads.— His blood was up, and, he, wanted to take another city, some thirty miles beyond Soonkong, where the rebels had retired and entrenched themselves more strongly than before. - The Toutieh chinned him 'exceedinglY,and told himtogolin. He did go in, or at least as far . aS the Walls, and fell, shot in three places.-j He did not die,.. however—his constitution was too strong, for -that—but fell hack •01 Shanghae, to recover from his grounds! and plan anoth er 'campaign. .-,it ! , • , - He was out again in al, few days, .but with a- hole in the roof of his! mouth of the-size of a cherry: stone, which gave a sort of nasal twang to hiS sPeech. Mean-. while the gazettes. came down: from Pe. kin, announcing his prometion-to the rank of Colonel. He became 4 Chinese subject —married a Chinese woMan of the small footed kind, and was crOted a mandarin of the blue button. . ;1 • 1 , . When the rebels threatenedShanghae, the French mid English AdMirals and _.Ward put their heads together and plann ed out a campaign against ,the invaders. Ward's Chinamen were placed alongside the English and French iforces and they did'nt disgrace themselves.
