HOIir.IlT SMALLS. Sketch of Ono of tlia Mont Romnrlc nlilo Characters In tho IIouso of Hop rcscntntlvcs. Ouo of llio most rcmarkablo men Id tlio IIouso ot Representatives Is Ocn. Robert Smalls, whoso plcturo Is presented above. lie was born at Beaufort, S.

on the nth of April, 1630, and now lives on tho very placiCwbcro ho was born. Ho lived In Ilcaufort, leading tho monotonous lito of lils race, until tho year of J851, when ho went to Charleston and worked at tho rigger's trade, and also led a seafaring life In salllue along and about tho coast of South Carolina and Florida. It was hero that ho acquired that knowledge ot the bars and harbors of tho scacoast which ho afterward used to such signal advantogo to tho Union cause. For two years bo was a stevedoro In Charleston, and In July, 1601, went on board tho steamer Planter, then a confederate transport plying between tho city aud Fort Sumter and other points In Charleston harbor. This craft was also tho special dispatch boat ot Gen.

Itlploy. After being ou this vessel about two months ho was mado 'Wheelsman. (At that tlmo It was not In accordance with coastwise, nautical ctlquetta to call a colored man a pilot.) In this situation ho continued until tho lilth ot Way, 1SC3. The captain, chief engineer, and mato of tho I'lantcr all bad gouo nshoro up Into tho city the previous night, whero Juoy slept, leaving on board a crew of eight men, all colored, among whom was Gen. Smalls, A consultation was held and It was resolved by tbesa eight men, Gen.

Smalls at their head, to selzo tho boat and carry it out to the United States licet outsldo tho harbor. Tho design was hazardous In tho cxtrcmo. Tbellttlo boat would bavo to pass beneath tho guns of tho batteries. Failure and detection would bavo been certain death. Fearful was tho venture, but It was made The daring resolution had been formed, and under command of Robert Smalls, tho wheelsman, steam was put on, and with hor valuable cargo of guns and for Fort ltlnley.a now fortification Just constructed In the harbor, sbout 3 o'clock in tho morning, tho Planter silently moved oft from her dock, steamed up to North' Atlantic wharf, whero tho wit aud two children of Robert Smalls, and tho Ifo and children of another of the crow wero waiting to embark.

Noiselessly tho vessel upproacbed tho wharf, and In silence and In lmsto received tho waiting women and children on board, and thcu started down tho river out to sea. Iho regular signal was given as Fort Johnson was Sassed and was answered, and so at Fott umtcr. As soon then as tho boat was out ot rango of tho guns of theso grim guardians of tho city, tho flag ot truco was raised and out for tho ocean sho steamed. In the misty morning a frlgato was described oft tbo bar. Tho Planter approached her.

In tho mist tbo whlto flag was not seen, and, to tho terror and surprise ot tbo Planter's crew, tho strange ship novo round nud presented her broadsldo and opened her ports. Tho command had already been given, "Ready," and tbo captain was about to epeale the "Flro," when ono ot tho officers ou tho quarter deck discerned tho flag of tiucc. Tbo vessels wero now within hailing distance, and tho captain ot tbo Union shin asked. "What boat that was. nud what was wanted." Tbo reply was.

Riven ami mo riamors crranu explained. The captain ordered her to como alongside, but his order was not heard by Smalls and Ms men, who proceeded to go around tho stern of tho ship, when tboy were brought to a 6tand-stlll by tho captain's thundering tones as ho called out, "Stop, or I will blow jououtoftbo water." The Planter then camo alongside, tho movement of her was explained, and an officer named Watson and four men wera. put on board. Tho strango ship proved lo bo tho sailing frlgato Onward and tho officer Capt. Nichols.

Smalls was transferred to tho gunboat Augusta, tbo flag ship oft tho bar, under tbo command ot Capt. Parrot, whenco ho nftcr-w ard proceeded to Port Royal to Commodore Dupont, then In command ot tho southern squadron, whero tbo Planter was received, and Robert Smalls was cntcicd upon tho navy list as a The Planter was put under command of an officer from tho ship Wn-Lasb, named Phoenix. It was found that although tbo services ot Gen. Smalls would bo Invaluable as a pilot, et ho could not receive payas such, ttcro being some regulation in tho service requiring theso officers to havo been graduates of somo naval school. This difficulty was easily obviated, however, Mr, Smalls helng commissioned.

IIo received a commission as second, lieutenant of company 1st South Carolina voluu-tccis, under command of Gen. Rutus Sax-ton, which was afterward called tho rcgfmcut.Unltcd States colored troops, and which was then being formed. Ifo was then detailed to act as pilot. Gen. Smalls was roon afterward ordered to Ellstoto join the gunboat Crusador, Capt.

Ryan. IIo thcu proccoded In tho Planter, In com- Sony with tho Crusader, to Simmons' luff, on Wadmadlaw sound, whero a sharp battle was fought between these boats and a confederate light battery and somo Infantry. Tho confederates wero driven out of their works, and scampered away from tho shells that fell thick and bot around and after them. Tbo troops on tho l'lantor lauded and captured all the tents and provisions ot tbo enemy. This occurred some-tlmo In 1803.

Gcu, Smalls continued to act as pilot on loard tho l'lantor and tho Crusader, aud as blockading pilot botween Charleston and Ilcaufort, Ho made repcatea trips up aud along tho rivers near tho coast, pointing out and removing tho torpodoes which hu himself had assisted In sinking and, putting In position. During these trips lie was present In several scrimmages and battles nt Adams's Run on tbo Uawbo river, whero tho Planter was hotly and severely fired upon, also at Rockvllle, John's Island, and other places. Afterward ho was ordered back to Port Royal, whence, ho piloted the ileet up Brood river to Pocotallgo, whero a very severe battlo ensued. Gcu. Smalls ivus tho pilot on tbo monitor Keokuk, Capt.

Ryan, In tbo memorablo attack on Fort Sumter, on tho afternoon of tho 7th of April, J6G3. In this attack the Keokuk was6truck nluety-Blx times, nineteen passing through her. 6ho retired from tho engagement only to stole on tho next morning near Light House Inlet. Gen. Smalls left her Just before abo went down, and was taken on board ot the Ironsides.

Tho next day tho fleet returned to Hilton Head. When Gen. Gllraoro took command Smalls uccamo pilot In tho quartermaster's department lu tho expedition on Morris Island. IIo was then stationed as pilot of the Stouo, whero ho remained until tho United States troops took possession of the south end of lion Is Island, then ho was put In charge of Light House Inlet as pilot. Upon ono occasion whllo tho Planter, then under command of Capt, Nlckcrson, was sailing through Folly Island crook tho confederato batteries opened a very hot fire upou hor.

Capt. Nlckcrson bocamo demor-nllzcd nnd left tho pilot houso and secured himself In tho coal bunker. Smalls was on tho deck, and finding out tho captain had desurted bis post entered tho pilot bouse, took command ot tbo boat, and carried hor safely out ot tho reach of tho guns. For this conduct ho was promoted by tho order of Gen. Gilmorc.

commanding tho department ot tho south, to the rank ot cuptaln, and was ordered to act as captalu of tho Planter, which was used as ft supply boat along tho coast until tho end of tho war. In September, 1600, ho carried his boat to Ualtlmorc, whero sho was put out of commission and sold and her gallant contain received his honorablo discharge. It should bavo been mentioned In Its firopcr placo that when tho Planter was do-Ivercd to tho United States authorities she was appraised at tho valuo of ono-half of which was turned over to tho crow of eight men that captured her; ot this one-half Smalls received $1,000. After his dlscbarga Gcu Smalls returned to Beaufort. Ha was, ot course, received with great eclat by his people, who never wearied of hearing of his gallant services and tho dangers through which ho had passed.

To his pcoplo bis cxpcrlcnco seemed lllto a romanco nnd ho himself a hero and an Idol. Ho was associated with that etrugglo which had resulted in tLclr freedom, and henco was Identified with that freedom. IIo at onco becamo tbclr recognized leader, and guided and directed their sentiments and opinions In their endeavors to put Into practical operation tho results of tbclr emancipation and enfranchisement. Gen. Smalls was a prominent member of tho constitutional convention and was ono of Its flnanco committee.

At tho llrst general election ot 1808, ho was chosen a member ot tho Houso of Representatives from his county where ho took an actlvo part in tho discussions and actions of that bod)'. IIo manifested a deep Interest In the homestead act, and was tho introducer ot tho civil rights bill that finally passed tbo IIouso. In 1870 bo was elected to tho scnato of tho state. IIo was ro-olcctcd In 1873 and served until March, 1875, when ho resigned to tako his seat In the forty-fourth Congress to watch ho bad been elected at tho general election of 1974. IIo was olected to tho forty-fifth Congress In 1870, nnd reelected In 1878, but was counted out by tissue ballots.

IIo was again elected to Congress In 18S0, and again counted out by tlesuo ballots. Ho was a dclcgato to tho national Republican convention at Philadelphia which nominated Gen. Grant for his second term, and was also a dclcgato to tho national Republican convention at Cincinnati widen nominated for tbo presidency R. 13. Hayes.

HAWKINS TAYLOR. HOIN'OllED. Tho Territorial Legislature of Iowis I'rcscnt tho Oldest Survivor With Testimonial. A Washington man was highly honored at tho reunion last week at Des Moines of tho living members ottho Iowa legislature, from tho first territorial body In 1833 up to tbo stato legislature ot 18C0 Inclusive. Hawkins Taylor, nn old and respected citizen ot tbo District, was the only member of tho legislature ot 1833, and was tho recipient of much attention, and In presenting blm with a testimonial of regard Speaker Head mado tho following happy address lilt.

Early In yesterday's session of tho IIouso tho nrgent dcflclenoy bill was taken up. Mr.

Durncs, of Missouri, explained tho several provisions of tho bill. Part of tho deficiency for compensation of special agents of tho treasury was occasioned by a special examination required by a defalcation In tho Now Orleans subtrcasury. There was appropriated for tho armament of tho four new cruisers, $331,803. In his Judgmentlhcro was an Imracnso amount of work for tho naral comnilttco of tho Ileus" to tic, and It should do It rcgardlosi of til consent cnccsjlf It doslrcd to savo profligate expenditures of tho nconln'il mnnnv. Tim first appropriation for tho cruisers had been nu uuguunieu appropriation, it nan uccn an appropriation that left It within tbo pow.cr of tlio Secretary of tlio Navy to leave tho money In one bureau aud take It out of that bureau after obligations had been Incurred, and placo It In another.

Congress had steadily Improved tbo modes and methods ot making tho appropriations, nnd from tho date ot tho Robeson bill to tho prisent hour legislation, under tho direction of tbo appropriations committee, had been a vast improvement oyer tho legislation that preceded It. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, said that tho appropriation for armament had run somewhat beyond tbo original estimate. This Increase was duo to the chango In plans. Tho armament bad been Improved, as It should bavo been.

It Secretary Chandler and tho present Secretary of tho Navy bad gouo to work and constructed the armament authorized by Congress four or flvo years ago, without taking advautagcof any Improvement since, while they would havo compiled with tho letter of tho law, they would havo violated Its spirit, and would havo deserved censure. Referring lo tho item ($0,000) for tho repair of tho treasury building, ho stated that there was a leak In tho roof, aud commented on tho fact that roofs would leak and Iron would rust, even under this Democratic administration. Mr. Hewitt, of Now York, remarked that fbo treasury would not leak now. Mr.

Cannon retorted that tbo Democrats after Incubating tho eggs had found that tbo treasury accounts had only been 1 cent short, and that had afterwards been found. "Turn tho rascals out," suggested a Democrat. Mr. Cannon said that ho would not talk about that. Mr.

Hewitt was not surprised that tho gentleman would not talk about It. It was a dcllcato subject. Mr. Cannon sold that it was a subject which ho would let tbo Democrats talk about. Ho was willing that tho Democratic party should turn out anybody It had tho manhood to turu out.

Ho was willing that it should turn out tho 70,000 Republican officeholders, but It should do It manfully. It should say to them: "Wo won this race. You aro good officeholders and honest men, but wo won tho raca and you must go." Ho was willing that honest Republicans should ho turned out and honest Democrats put In. IIo wanted nothing but honesty, and ho hated hyprocrlsy In oven such a little thing as tho distribution of office. Mr.

Hewitt, of New York, called attention to tho Item of appropriation to cnablo tbo Navy Department to pay existing obligations. Ho called attention to It, ho said, because no thought that this practlco (whither carried ou by tho present or previous administrations) of contracting obligations prior to the appropriation of money-was reprehensible Mr. Springer, of Illinois, was Inclined to think that tbo expenditure had been illegal, but that It had been inado by somo officials iu tho Navy Department who had been there under tbo last administration. Mr. MaConias.

Docs that make It right! Mr. Springer. No, sir; It does not. I want to show that If tho administration is derelict In anything It Is In Its slowness In turning tho rascals out. Mr.

McCoroas inquired whether tho wholo cxpcndlturo was not under tho control ot tho head ot tho Navy Department. Mr. Springer replied that nominally It was, but that tho Secretary must necessarily depend In all theso matters on tho advlco and recommendation ot his subordinates. Ho thought that theso unworthy officials whom Secretary Whltnoy had Inherited from his predecessor should bo turned out and honest Democrats put In. Mr.

Cannon suggested that tho Navy Do- Eartmcut was divided Into bureaus, at tho cad of each of which was a naval officer. Ho did pot know tho politics ot theso officers, but ho did know tbat tho alt-wise and reform President had tho right to tako auy one of them by tho hair ot his head and placo him on duty elsewhere. If thcro were dishonest rascals belonging to tho navy, tho Secretary had violated his duty In not getting rid ot them. The gentleman from Illinois (Mr. could travel by ono of two roads either tho President and Secretary were dlsbouest, or they cro foolish and Incompetent.

Mr. Cannon asked Mr. Howltt, lu all decency and propriety, to stop his President and his Secretary ol tho Navy, and their Mugwump and Democratic admirers from ouo ocean to tho other, from eternally crying, morning, noon, and night, "Great nl honest and who ami." Mr. Springer wished to correct his colleague (Mr. Cannon), Whllo It wastruo that tbo beads of bureau wore naval officers, somo of them were appointed for a term of years.

It was said that tho President should have removed them as lneompetont. Tho President had "been removing somo persons ho found Incompetent, but It had been impossible In tho brief spaco ot ono year to ro-roovo all tho lueompctout, dishonest, and unworthy officials whom ho had found In office. The President had been obstructed by tbesffenato in what be had already done. Let the Scnato confirm his nominations, and it would not bo another year before ho had gone through all the departments, removod tho dishonest men and put honest men In their places. Mr.

McAdoo, of New Jersey, promlsod that tho commlttco ot naval affairs would framo a measure to put a stop to the practlco ou tbo part of government officials ot entering luto obligations not authorized by law. Mr. Reagan, of Texas, said that bo would enter his protest against tho practlco by voting against tho bill, Tho commlttco then rosoand tho bill was passed cas 29, nays 20. TUB IIILI. AS PASSED provides an opgregato appropriation of 5034,453.0., divided as follows!

Tlio panorama of tho battlo ot Manassas, or Second Bull Run, recently erected at tho corner of Fifteenth street and Ohio avenue, has attracted hundreds of spectators during tho last week. It Is not only a credit and attraction to Washington, but reflects honor on Its originators. This famous battlo called by us tho "Second Battlo of Hull Run," and by tho confederates tho "Battlo of Manassas" was fought on tho 80th day of August, 1802, on ground already rondercd historic as tho sccno of tho first great struggle In tho civil war-tho "First Battlo of Bull Run," July 21, 1801.

A sanguinary fight on tho night ot tho 2Sth, and several sevcro engagements during the 20th, terminating with a furious assault made on tho enemy at dark at Grovo-ton, wero In themselves battles, and, although measured by tho events of tho day to follow, were but combats, yet In a military senso formed an Integral part ot tho second battlo of Bull Run. Our forces, known ns tho "Army of Virginia," composed ot tho previously Independent commands of Gens. McDowell, Ranks, nnd Fremont, wero commanded by MaJ. (Icn, John Popo; thosoof tho cucmy Iho "Army of Northern Virginia" were led by Gen. Robert Lee.

Numerically theso forces wero qulto cunly balanced, tho armies each cotnpthtngnbout 05,000 men ot all arms. Tho panorama contains 20,000 square feet of canvas, and represents tho battio-fleld ot Manassas and the surrounding country. In the center of tho building lu which It Is located Is a raised platform, upon which tho spectator stands. Below tho platform Is tho natural ground, upon which short plno trecsaud bushes aro growing. Stonos, old muskets, canteens, nnd equipments are strewn about, and an army ambulanco overturned and shattered.

Au old Virginia rail fence extends a short way, and joins ouo patnlcd In tho plcturo. Tho painting Is so realistic that It. Is difficult to dlstln-, gulsh where tho real foreground ceases and tho painting begins. Several figures of soldiers aro stretched upon tho ground, ulthllttle streams of blood trickling along In tbo saud. Theso aro partly painted aud partly artificial forms, and tho allusion Is so perfect that It Is absolutely Imposslblo to distinguish between tbo painted and artificial.

All through tho plcturo will bo found very many figures and groups that are lu themselves pictures. Somo aro painted on tho canvas, somo are part ot tho artificial foreground, and some aro combination ot both. Tho whole Is truthful nnd realistic and artistic In thohlghcst degree, representing In tho best posslblo manner a momentous pago lu the history of our common country. As a work of art tho picture demands more than passing attention. It was executed under tho direction of M.

Theodore Pollnot, of Paris, a famous French artist, assisted by nlno or ten talented. nnd well-known French artists, all of whom havo been admitted to tho French Salon. In order to gain a correct Idea ot tho battle-field, two months were spent by tho artists In tho neighborhood of Manassas painting studies of tbo landscape, nud four mouths were consumed In executing this picture. All tho flgurcs In tho foreground nro lifelike. Tho lights nnd shadows Introduced are excellent In tho vividness ot their portrayal.

As a study of history tbo cyclorama Is excellent, ns no better Idea ot the famous battlo and thoso who fought It can bo gained than by half an hour spent In looking at tho picture. Tho building Is well warmed, and lighted at night by 800 r.dlson electric lights. Tho platform aud passages are carpeted, and comfortable seats provided. Au elegantly furnhhod ladles' parlor, with tollot room and ward-robo attached, adjoins tbo entrance A largo amount ot money has bccnspontln erecting tho building, and It Is a permanent affair. It Is open from 0 a.

m. to 11 p. an explanatory lecture being delivered frequently. Tho lapso of years serves only to Incrcaso public Interest in tbo events ot our groat civil war. Accounts of tbo principal battles are read with greater Interest than any other literary products of tho tlmo.

This panorama Is admirably adapted, to meet this growing demand. It has como In good time, In good shape, and It will stay. Jlfeailo Post Hop. Mcado Post, No. G.
