The Daily Review JOSH. T. JAMES, Ed. and Prop WILMINGTON, N". C. FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1877. Raleigh Observer. . . NORTH CAROLINA AT CfCT.TY.S- BURG. . God knows we would not j.ucl; asin!c laurel from the brow, of .Virginia to add to the honor of our own State, but her own laurels honestly won we insist that North Carolina is justly entitled to wear. Our Virginia friends, howcrcr, d not seem to agree with us. The capacious brow of the mother of States and of .Stiitcsiiisn, in their esteem, is the only one lit to wear a crown, ana a .capacious brow it must: be f it be- at all commensurate to the "reedv maws of the children old dame. oi mat res nee tab e " But hot to watte lurlhor words "G waiter ii. lay lor, ot irgmia, has just come to the front with an account of the battle of Uettysburg, in which lie claims til Virtriniii nlnnn Vrl-mrra iUn. i.1.,nr . . " mat laiai uay on wnicn an was lost save i, r 1 i i 1 ii i ' honor, and coming from' Colonel Taylor, a gentleman ol most estimable reputation in private life and General Lee's Adjutant uencral, the statement is 'inexplicable to us save uion me grounu tnat tnu avcni"y Virginian is never willinir to u-Jmii tlx tit. another State is entitled to share honors with his own. Colonel Taylor docs not macea mum that the loss of the day was owing to the action of North Carolina troops. He fcimply goes out of his way to laud Pick ett and his men at the expense of the other troops engaged in the assault. In " lus opinion the assault as actually made, was from the first but leading a forlorn hope that no one had a right -'to expect to result in anything save honor and slaugh ter even it every man marched m line un til shot down. To throw the blame of ' t.1ii disjintrr thnrrfiirfi frnm (ienend Lee. Colonel Taylor asserts that the assault was 'not made as ordered or intended to be made. After perusing this narrative, which wc print in another column, Yir ginia editors, especially tho Norfolk -Vir ginian, rise up and announce first that the "mystery of Gettysburg is at last solved, second, that his subordinates arc to be blamed, and not General Lee himself, and third and lastly, that Pickett s Division did all that was done and that "Petti- grew's Division and the Brigades support ing it faltered and finally retired, leaving the carnage and the glory of the day to Pickett's magnificent Virginians." All of which is very nice and lacks .only the element of truth to make it an affair of great honor to the Old Dominion. It happens, however, that one ol the four brigades constituting Pcttigrcw's (lleth's) Division, was a North Carolina brigade, and two of the three brigades supporting it were North Carolina brigades;' and the Istatemcnt that these brigades, or cither of t'icm, did not share to the full with "Pickett's magnificent Virginians" in glory and carnage, is simply untrue. Wc followed General Lee with unques tioning faith when living, and we revere mumnry wlipn dead, but WC arc IlOt willing that even in solving the Gettys burg mystery or any other mystery of the war that undeserved censure should be cast upon North Carolina troops. This Colonel Taylor has attempted to do. It is wc trust needless for us to say we re gret the necessity that is upon us to come in collision with our Virginia friends, or with any friends for that matter; but the wrong sought to be done North Carolina is not only a grievous one and one that we feel sure General Lee himself never would have endorsed, but one not to be submit ted to in silence. 1 There wcro three North Carolina brigades that took part n the grand as sault at Gettysburg, and as to the con duct of each of these brigades it happens to be in our power to present proof from gentlemen of as undoubted veracity as Col. Taylor, arid whose opportunities were far superior to those of Col. Taylor for knowing the facts. t Col. Taylor, though a Virginian, was not a "magnificent Vir ginian," that is to sa', not one of Pickett's men, and we believe, took no part in the assault, while Major Engelhard,; the Ad jutant General of Pender's Division, and Gen. Lane, commanding one of Pender's brigades, and Major Louis G. Voting, of South Carolina, Gen. Pcttigrcw's Aid-de-Camp, wcro actual participants. Gen. Lane, though a Virginian by birth and now by residence, was then in command of North Carolina troops, and a citizen ol our State, and wc venture to say. as magnificent a Virginian as any in Pick ett's command. Wc proceed, therefore, to show what these three North Carolina brigades did, as follows: PliTTUiUj'w's 1)3ICADIi. .Speaking of the conduct of this cjm niaud Major Louis G. Young, Aid-de-Camp to General Pettisrcw, writing "On the llapidan," February 10th, 1804, says : "On the morning of the 3d July. Gen.. Pettigrcwi commaudingdlcth's Division", was instruct! to report to General Long street, who directed him to form in the rear of Pickett's Division, and support the advance upon Cemetery .Hill, which would be commenced as soon as the fire from our artillery should have driven the o.icaiy from Liigunsaud prepared the way f -r attack. Ajul I presume that it was in consequence of this hwing been the firs', plan settled on, that the erroneous report was circulated that Heth's Division was assigned the duty of supporting tint of Pickett. But the order referred to was countermanded almost as soon as given; and General Pcttigrcw was instructed to advance udon the same line with Pickett, a portion of Pender's Division acting as supports. "In the alignment of the diviion, Pct tigrew's. Brigade, under Colonel Marshall, was secoud from the right, and it, with Archer's, advanced promptly aud iu good order, in continuation of Pickett's line The distance over which we had to ad vance may be estimated, when I state that t'ie fuses for the shells used by the artillery stationed immediately in our front, were cut for 11 miles. The ground over which we. bad to pass was perfectly open ; and numerous fences, some parallel and othdrs oblique to our line of battle, tvera formid able impediments in our wav. The oosi- ttioa of the enemy was all he could desire, x rom ine crest upon , which lie wa trenched, the hill sloped frradually, f ing a natural glacis; and the conformation of the gjjjund was such that wi$ the left oi our jimc approached hi jtorks3it ljiioi, cuinB wunin an arc oi a curie, irom which a direct, oblique and enfilade fire couui be, and was, concentrated upon it. Under this fire from artillery and musket ry, the brigade on our left, reduced almost to a line ot skirmishers, cave way. Petti grew s and Archer's Brigades advanced a ittlc further, and in perfect continuation of Ticket t's line, which arrived at tha works before we did, only because they jutted out in his front, and because his had to move over a considerably shorter dis tance. Ihe riht of the line formed by Archer's and Tett isrew's Brigades rested on the works, whilethe left wu ofmiir iurtner 'removed, sav fortv to sutv -ward Subjected to a fire even more fatal than that which had driven back the brigade on our lcic, ana the men listening m ram for the ch eering commands , of officers', who bad, alas, , lallen. our bneade my wnv likewise, and simultaneously with it. the wnoie line, ihe support under Major ucnorai mm bie did Jnot reach as far as wo;had. This repulse , to judge from re sults, was fatal to our campaign, in Penn sylvjania, and the troops engaged m tho Unvihfj i-otrvl wit.rihnf rtnfora Tmfc nn will perceive that they had to pass through a most trying ordeal, and it must remain al ways a sealed question, whether or not Cemetery Hill could have been taken with the forces engaged. In this battle.

All the field ofti- cers, save , one, who was captured, were killed or wounded: and the brigade was commanded, after the repulse from Ceme tery Hill, by Major Jones, of the 26th reg imcnt N. C..troops, who had been struck with a fragment of shell on the 1st, and knocked down and. stunned i in the third day's fight. General Pcttigrcw Was pain full v and severely wounded : two of fits stall" Were killed, and Lieutenant W. II. liobertson still suffers from a wound which deprives the brigade of his valuable ser vices. On the ltt July, Capt. Tuttle, of the 20th regiment, led into action two lieutenants and 84 men; all of the officers and S3 of the men were killed or wounded. On the same day, company C, of tho 11th regiment, lost two officers killed, ant 84 but of 38 men, killed or wounded. Captain Bird, with the four remaining, participa ted in the light of 'the 3d.

In the engagement of the 1st July, we lost no prisoners. After the repulse of the 3d July, the enemy alvanced a heavy line of skirmishers and captured some of the brigade, but to the majority of, these no blame is to bo attached. ' Lieutenant Colonel John It. Graves, of the 47th regiment, whose courage has fre quently elicited comment and praise, would not permit those of his regiment in his hearing, some 150 men, to retire, telling them to await the arrival of the sup ports, with which they would advance ; they were then witluii forty jrards of the stone fence, , but the Jupporters never reached this point, and ' the Lieutenant Colonel and his men were taken prisoners. " LANE'S BRIGADE. ' General James II. Lane, writing to the Richmond, X&.,'Timcs, says in the issue of 11th April,' 1 807 : , . Mext morniug General Ix;e appeared in front of my line, rpconnoitered the enemy's position and when he was about to leave, he remarked that "he needed more troops on the right, but that he did not know where they were to come from." Soon after I was ordered to leave Thomas and Perrin to hold the road they were occupy ing, and to move my own brigade and Scales' to the. right, and report to Gen. Longstrcet for further orders. Geh. Long street ordered me to form in rear of- th right of Heth's Division, then command ed by the lamented Pettigrew this di vision was on the left of Pickett. After I had taken this position, Maj. Gen. Trim ble, who had joined from the Valley of Virginia, relieved me of the command of Pender's Division. My position was such as to prevent my seeing the- first move ments of the front line there being a nar row strip of intervening woods; but Gen. Thomas, who couldsec from his position in the road everything that was going on, on the left, informed me, the next day, thit Br k konborough's brigade, which was on the left of Heth's Division, did not ad vance further than the road; and that Davis' brigade, which was next to it, push ed forward, in adcance of the general line. wun too mu:n impetuosity, ana was driven back. The rcmaiuiug brigades of Heth's Divi-. siou were Pcttegrew's and Archer's;, but it will be remembered that the greater part of Archer's brigade and General Archer himself were captured in the first day7s fight. When General Trimble ordered us forward, we advanced and, took posi tion on the left of the troops that were fighting, and when the right of my brig ade was4 within a short distance of the istone fence that was used by the enemy for a breastwork my brigade was now the extreme left of ihe attacking force one of General Longstrect'a stiff came dashing through a hot fire with orders from General liongtsrcet to movomycom aiand rapidly to tlie left, its the enemy had thrown out a flanking force in that uirec- troo, which was already pouring a destruc tive fire into us. , On ordering Colonel Avery, of. the Thirty-third Korti Carolina regiment, which waithcJeft of mv mm.

He writes : s f A lows: Office of Secretakv of State, Raleigh; N. C, Aug. 20, 187 7. Messrs.. Editors : Your. note-, cailin: my attention to an article in thePhilade- pma Weekly Times, from the pen ot Ucl. y alter H. Taylor, Uencral Lee s Uhtel l staff, descriptive of the battle ot uettys burg, is at hand. I regret to read the tol lowing. in speaking of the third day's fight, m his generally correct and .impartial ac cOunt of that great battle; "While, doubt less, many bfave men of other commands reached the crest of the height, ttlis (Pickett's Division) was the only organized bodr that entered the works ot tne ene my." : W hen I recollect the gallantry and the achievements ofLanc's and Scales' Brig ades on that occasion, whom the fate of war had temporarily placed under my charge, it would be criminal in me to per mit this statement to pass unchallenged It will be recollected that on the 2d of July, Major-General Pender was mortal I v wounlcd. Upon the eve of the battle ol the 3d, Major-General Trimble assumed command of the Divison. Two Brigades of the Division, Lane's and Scales,' weie ormcd in rear of Heth s Division, lhese Brigades had been fighting for two days, and were uot only tirod, but their casual- io2 been woun ias had rwen larae. General ocalcs. nav aea on tne isc, was not in command of his Brigade. WThcn the line of battle moved forward the second line kept but a short distance in rear, and before the advance had passed over one-hall tho distance to the enemy a works, the second lhae united with the first, otir right touching the left of Pick ett't Division. In this order we moved forward, subject to, the terrible fire from the enemy's artil lery and infantry in front, and the enfilade fire from the batteries from Bound lop on the right, until we reached the Federal works, which, from the formation -of Cem etery Hill, projected just where ibe left of Pickett's line and the right of Pender's (Trimble's) united. To the right and left the hill receded, and neither the light of Pickett's nor the left of Pender's did or could reach the Federal works The troops of Trimble's (mainly Scales' Brigade) and Pettigrew's com mantis, who took possession of the enemy s works, were iully as well organized as those of Pickett to the right of us, and did not leave until ordered by myself, when we saw the extreme right of Pickett's Divis ion give. way, leaving the left of his Di vision and the right of Tender's unpro tected. JL write ot incidents ot which 1 was an eye-witnees. The wounding of General Trimble before we had reached the ene my V works, and , of almost all the field oicers of our regiments near me, and the necessity for Gen. Lane to look after the left of the command, which was unsup ported, placed that portion of otlr troops oi wmcn I speaK under my special care, as Adjutant-General of the Division. The point at which the troops with me struck the pnemy s. works projected farth est to the front, ; and consequently we were the first to reach them. I recollect Well, my horse having been shot, I leaned my elbow upon one of the guns of the enemy, to rest, while I watched with pain ful anxietv the hght upon 1'ickett s ex treme right, for upon its succss depended the tenablenesa of our position. Surround ing meywere the soldiers of Pender's, Heth's and Pickett's divisbns, and it re quired all the resources at my command to prevent their following cn masse the retreating enemy, and some did go so far that when wc were compelled to with draw, they were unable to reach our Hues, the enemy closing in from the right and ieft We remained in 'quiet and undis puted possession of the enemies works for a full half hoar, the men, flushed with victory, eager to press forward. But Wreathe right of Pickett's Division was compelled by the overpowering attack up on its right fiank to give way, the heroism which had driven backje very thing in its way. being unable to withstand the natu ral barriers which protected the attacking force on the flank, there was nothing left for us to do but to surrender ourselves as prisoners, whicli was much the safest course, or withdraw in confusion before the con verging lines of the enemy, those In our immediate front not haviug rallied.

It is evident that Col.. Taylor had Capt Young o report before him for he quota from it, and it is evident also that be had a report from Gen. Lane, for he quotes from that too. And, doubtless too, he had een the report made by Maior ingelbara, for that also must have passed through hi hands. In the face of all, these things, however, he deliberately puts forth te the world as a fact that PickettV Division was the only organized command ! that all the other troops that took part in the assault, according to his statement, having first "faltered" and then "finally retired" from-the charge. ' ' With the greatest reverence for General ijce. and Swiih sufficient, respect for Yir- giniars, both ordinary and "magnificent,' wc respectfully submit that the mystery of Gettysburg is not to be solved by any re flection upon the conduct of the troops en- iraircd in the grand assault on the third dar.
