Buttz, member of Congress from the Second District of South Carolina, w.is born at Stroudsburj. Monroe County, in ISMS. His rrandfather, Michael Robert JJiittz, represented Northampton County, Pa., for a number of years in the jiature of that State. When Chailes V. was two years old his parents removed to the town now called Buttzville, Warren Comity, N. J-, where his father, John II. Ruttz, engaged in the business of milling and fanning. lie received an academic education, and studied law with J. G. Ship niaii at Belvidere, N. J. When the late war broke out he was the second man in War ren County General Edward L. Campbell, r),w of Trenton, N. J., being the first) to enlist i.i the three months' service. When that term expired he assisted in raising a cavalry company for Harlan's Independ ent Cavalry, afterwards, designated the Eleventh Pennsylvania Cavalry. .Mr. Buttz ,- accepted the position of second lieutenant. In lSl!- he was promoted to first lieuten ant. We find by the official history of the State of NV.v Jersey and the Rebellion, by John Y. Foster, published by authority of the State, that Major luttx has a most ex cellent military record. In 18o"$ his regi vwv.t was sent on a scouting expedition from Sull'olk, Va., to the Hlack water River. The history referred to states that during this expedition Lieutenant Ruttz with twenty five of his men engaged !l)U of the enemy, and by a dashing charge succeeded in tak i:vr sixtv-seven of the number prisoners and capturing a Rocket battery with a good supply ol ammunition, lne enemy t- , liaiidsomoly routed by the Jerseynv.'i. con victed of members of the Second Georgia Cavalry and one company of infantry. Thiitv-two f the prisoners hud severe v.-ounds in the head, inflicted by the sabres t.f the assailants, whose loss was only one killed and three wounded. "While in this department Lieutenant Buttz was on several ecasi !is -detailed for service on courts martial as Judge Advocate, and for a period f two iu'nths was Pruvst Marshal at Suf " i'.i'k. When Longstreet besieged that place Jii' 'iterant Ruttz acted as uil-de-camp to AT 'J' -5i :r: A P () ti one occasion be- ing detailed with a part of his company fori s'.'CeKU service, he. captureu forty eight of vorabie inen'Mu in tieueral Peck s report to the j War IVpartment. LieuU-nant Buttz. upon quitting the 5 tv ice, commenced the practice of law at Norfolk, where he became prominent in political movements. He lias received two brevets one as captain "for gallant and meritorious conduct in capturing from the enemy a full Rocket battery," and the other :is major '"for gaiiant and meritorious ser vice in front ofS'.ilToik, both dating March IP,. 1So5." We learn from the official Congressional Piroctory, second edition. Forty-fourth (Vnizre 3i 18C:i that Major Buttz was wounded remaining in the hospital for sonn- tune, rcv.grnng his position in the army through the Surgeon General's oiTice on :ic c a:nt of impaired health in October, looP. lie was a delegate from Virginia to the National Republican Convention that met in Baltimore in ISiJj. He took an active part in the su port the restored govern- ir.'-Mt in Virginia at the time Pierepout was iiovernnr. After Virginia was pajed in the Reconstruction act he took an active part in organizing the Republican party of that State, leading the bolt in the Republi can convention that nominated, in 1 St 50. II. II. Wr-lb for Governor, Major Buttz snd his friends nominating G. C. Walker for Governor, who, being supported by the united Pcmocratic vote, was elected. Major Ruttz was nominated on the independent Republican ticket for Congressman-at-large, but withdrew from the ticket ten days be fore the election. In 1870 he removed to Charleston, S. C.. where ne ras elected Solicitor (States -attorney) for the First Judicial Circuit, composed of the counties of Charleston and Orangeburg, in October, 1872, for the term of four vears. In 1S74 he was nominated by the lb: ublican (.'on vent ion of the Second Congressional !;trict Carolina fr the Forty-Fourth of South Congress. The opposition selected E. W. M. Mackey. who received the certificate of election. 3Iajor Buttz contested his seat before Con gress, and on the nineteenth day of July, 1870, Congress turned Mackey out and de clared the seat vacant. The Republican convention again unanimously nominated Major Buttz as their candidate, and at the election, held November 17, 1870, he was elected to fill the vacancy in the Forty fourth Congress, receiving 21JJ85 votes ,-igain.tt l.J,05 for M. P. O'Connor, Demo erut. At the same election he was re elected Solicitor of the First Judicial Cir cuit for four years by 8,000 majority. Not withstanding the large majority he received, and the fact that no one contested his seat. Congress referred his credentials to the Committee on Elections at the commence ment of the present seesion. This was ow ing to the political complications in South Carolina ; but on the 2:d of January, 1877, the committee unanimously reported that he was ertitlod to his seat, and the House was unanimous in admitting him. His political enemies in theseasion of the Legis lature of South Carolina in 1875-G made charges of official misconduct against him and caused a committee to be appointed to investigate them, and upon the report of lhe committee the House, by more than a two-thirds vote, completely exonerated him. And the result of the late election shows that he is stronger with the people than ever, as they elected him to fill two import ant offices at the same time by a majority of over 8.000 votes, his opponents, both for Solicitor and Congress, b.ing the strongest men the Democrats could select. Major Butz is a modest, unassuming man, not having as yet made any speeches in Congress, but he is a hard worker, a wan cf great energy and self control. TiiF. number of vessels of war of all the maritime nations amounted in 187(5, ac cording to some cCicial statistics lately pub lished in Germany, to 20:10, of which 209 v ere from-clads. The firmament comprised 280,000 men and 15,000 guns; 110 war vessels, including 56 ircu dadr, were in course jof construction. The Members of the Cabinet. Wm. M.

His term would have expired in 1879. lie is a brother of the General of the army. Cart Schuiz, of Missouri, Secretary of the Interior, was born near Cologne, Germany, in 1820. He took part in the revolutionary movements of 1848 and was exiled. Coming to the United StatC3 in lb..)2 he settled in Wisconsin. He was an original Republican .and made stron speeches in German throughout the coun try the Republican candidates in 1 S3 ti ind 1SG0.

In 1875 he was appointed U. S. Senator to succeed Andrew Johnson. He was de feated f T that ofiice last month by Isham G. Harris.

Referring to losses by the failure of the Central R. R. the Sotnei set county N. J. Unionist says : "Widows and those en trusted with dower funds, besides thers who bought the stock as a permanent in vestment, in many instances lose nearly their all. We hear of one widow who holds -320,000 in stock, several others 310,000 cacl , others $5,000 and so no down to 1,000. And one of our farmers hereto fore considered well-to-do, two or three years ago mortgaged his farm for 010,000 and invested the whole sum in the stock of the company. Many others who hitherto have been in comfortable circumstances, now find themselves terribly crippled in consequence of this dire calamity. Among others in this vicinity an Orange widow loses $17,00 J, and Senator Erelinghuysen nearly 50,000. THE PENNSYLVANIA COLLIERIES. MANY WOUXS nESTAKTED TROUBLES IHS- I'EL'.EI) AN IMMEDIATE AND ENTIRE R ESUM rilON CONT EM PLATED. Reading, March 12. The troubles that have existed for a long period in the coal regions of this State are being dispelled. Many of the operators having been relieved of their financial embarrassments, are start ing their works, and a change for the bet ter is occurring generally throughout the Schuylkill district. Ine Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company to-day resumed operations at many of the coileries worked in the middle coal fields. Somewhere near 5,000 working men have been given em ployment in the mines. The operators in the Lehigh region who have not already commenced mining contemplate an im mediate and entire resumption. The coi leries of the Lehigh and Wiikesbarre Coal Company and the Delaware and Hudson Railroad Company are now in operation, and coal shipments are being carried on steadily. The leasing of ti e works of the former company to Mr. Charles Parrish, the President of the company, will, it is said, result beneficially to the interests of the stock-holders, and the admission is general that the Receivers did a very nice thing when making the lease to Mr Parrish. The improvement in the coal trade is al ready beginning to show its good efieets in the business interests of the regions. A'. J. J I iiifS. Dlll . In I'ocono town-hip.
