: D) be li Vol. XX. Astoria, Oregon,. Tuesday Morning, October 2, 1883. No. 1. MANY YEARS AGO. In December, 18G4, ji very swift and lisjht blockade runner was captured off Wilmington, N. C. It had been built for the purpose of running drugs and medicines into the Confederacy, and had made a great many successful trips, when, by a concatenation of circum stances and accidents, one foggy morning in December, she found hersolf a long way outside of her intended course, and within 300 yards of two United States cruis ers, who immediately captured her without a struggle or any injury to the beautiful przie. One of the officers who was present at her capture told me that he had never seen in any shape such a combina tion of grace and swiftness. She was condemned and sold in New York on or about the 10th day of February, 1SG5. Four men be came her owners, three of whom are dead and one is living. They had her machinery very carefully overhauled, everything put in thoroughly good condition, and selected a captain, who was known I to them all, not only as a thorough seaman, but as a man who could and would keep a still tongue. He was directed to coal up, pro ceed to Halifax and there await orders. "When he received a dis patch, he said it meant he was to start to Liverpool and go as fast as steam and wind could take him, and it was estimated that he would maKc the run in about three and-a quarter da's. He was given sealed orders and told that he would be instructed by telegraph when to open them. He sailed for -Halifax February IS, 1SG5. The Confederacy was then in its death throes. Hood's army had been driven oiit of Tennesee, with great loss of life. Its destitution was fearful. Men were starving and dying for want of food and clothing. Generals of brigades were half-clad and wearing shoes and boots taken from dead Union solders feet. How they lived through it all is only known to them and God. It was a time that men who have lived through it can never forget. Their com rades' faces were gaunt and hag gard with privation, and men had in their eyes the look of those whom hunger had almost made mad. The few horses left were like skeletons. Yet how these men fought, Franklin and Duck river will bear witness. There was no word of surrender amid all this starvation and death. They preferred to fight, for in the tents of their enemies they found food and clothing, warmth and the breath of life; and they attacked whenever they could with the courage of trained soldiers and the fearlessness of madmen. Never was there seen such magnificent contempt for death. Lee's army was in almost a destitute condi tion, and any da- might be its last. Time went on, February passed away, and then March, and the waiting captain got no word. He kept his fires banked and his men on board. April came and at 4:30 o'clock on tho tenth day cap tain Blatch received a telegram contairang these words. "Go and exccuteie orders given j-ou in writing, sealed. Open them one day before 3our arrival in Liver pool." At 7 o'clock i. n. he left the harbor of Halifax, and in three days and ten hours he landed at Liverpool. "When he arrived in sight of Fastnct light, which is the first light seen on the Irish coast, ho opened his orders. They di rected him to deliver to the ad dresses on each two packets of pa pers, and then to report to a well known firm of ship brokers for further orders. Meantime, to talk with nobotty. He obeyed them stricUy. The end of the Confed eral had come, and two great London and Liverpool houses sold short 30,000,000 of Confederate bonds. At that time there was in Liverpool, Manchester and Lon don 9,000 bales of cotton belong ing to the Confederate govern ment. Ten days thereafter the mail steamer brought the news of the final collapse of the Confeder ate government, the surrender of Lee's army and the flight of Jeffer son Davis and his cabinet. Con fedciatc bonds fell from forty cents on $.1 to nothing. The American Minister, Charles Fran cis Adams, immediately directed the American Consuls at Liver pool, Manchester and London' to seize all the cotton belonging to the Confederate government in those cities. But, when the order was attempted to be executed, not a bale could be found. Three million six hundred thousand dol lars' worth of cotton had disap peared in a single night, and from that da' until this it lists never been heard of. Four persons,who owned a very swift ship which sailed from Halifax on the evening of April 10, 1SG5, could tell where it went if they were alive and dis posed to but they are sill dead but one. He is an old man, who is very rich, and lives in a great northern city; and among the four men were two northern men of nsitional reputation lovvealth and devotion to the Union, and two southern men, one holding a very high cenfidential position sit the Confederate capital, and the .other a leading European agent of the Confederate government. Tho Same Tune. The snub that Astoria got at the time of the driving of the last spike was not a special feature. The following is from the Jfi.tttou' lion, and shows how matters were mansiged in Montana. "In our journeyings sibout the territory everywhere the same topic of conversation has come to the front the driving of the last spike. It is over, a lid Montana in general, and picked Montanians in particular, acknowledge a very generous and undeserved snub bing : the hands ol Mr. Yillard, the Great Mogul of the X. P. rail road. At Helena carrisiges were in Availing to receive Mr. Y's guests and convey them sibout the city with the expectation that an hour's stay at the fair grounds would give them an simple idea of Montana's capabilities, agricultur ally and minerally. A band, we understand, wsis sent to receive them; but Mr. Villard moved a portion of his guests along, and only allowed the others a few moments away from the depot. One prominent gentleman went down with a carriage to take General Grant about the city, but upon asking permission to go, the American ex-president was in formed that he could have only half an hour, tli3 general was back in tune, though the cars did not move for nearly an hour afterward. Again at the spike driving' a well known journalist, upon renewing acquaintance, with his former com mander, said to him: "General, there are here to-day a number of participants in the late war who would be glad of an opportunity to shake hands with you." The General gallantly assented, but said that he was here as a guest of Mr. Villard, and that it would be better to first request his acquies ence. "While the Montanian was looking for the master of ceremo uies, he met Gen. Anderson, chief engineer, and asked him if there was anything improper in it. Mr. Villard was finally found, and, upon being interviewed, pompous ly replied that General Grant would "hold no reception here to day," and that :,Gen. Anderson was not running the Northern Pacific road." We siro also told that one of the most eloquent men in Montana, and a personal ac quaintance of many of the guests, was pointed from the platform with the remark, "This is not for you sir." A little spectacled Ger man, said to be Paul Schultz, some sort of specisil official connected with the road, made himself so conspicuously obnoxious to the people present that he was threat ened with "heading up" from several sources at once, and after one of Montana's favorite legisla tors had thrown him across the track and threatened to knock him down if he didn't "keep bauds off," he subsided into quietude which much better became his in significance in this portion of the footstool. These are but speci men bricks of the treatment of Montauians upon Montana soil on an occasion in which no section of the world was more interested than Montana people, and if it does not serve to unite the people of this territory in resistance to all future efl)rls to enact special legislation for the benefit of Mr. Yillard, or the foreign capitalists who back him, then we deserve to have the nauseous dose 'rubbed in,' as well as doled out to us."
