So decided was the defeat of most brilliant victories won by the Federals in this battle that the Confederates during the war. Gen. Lee considered Richmond On the 30th of August, 1862, was to be in danger no longer and de fought the battle of Second Ma- termined to march his army into nassas, as it was called by the Maryland. Heretofore our army Confederates, or Second Bull had been on the defensive, pro Run,, as it was called by the Fed- tecting Richmond, but now it as erals. It was called Second Ma- sumed the offensive and march nassas or Bull Run because it ' ed across the Potomac into Mary was fought on nearly, the same land. This Maryland campaign battlefield on which had been . we will mention later. fought the battle of First Manas sas pr Bull Run on the 21st of July, 1861. This was quite a re markable coincidence, that these two battles should have been fought on nearly the ground, over a year apart, and both were two of the most com plete victories won by the Con federates during the war. The number of men engaged in the second battle were many more than those in the first bat tle, and the Federals lost in kill ed, wounded and prisoners in the second battle nearly as many men as they had fighting in the first battle. In the first battle of Manassas the troops on both sides were raw volunteers, who had never been in a battle be fore, but in the second battle "they were nearly all seasoned veterans, who had fought in many battles, particularly in the seven days fights around Rich mond. The Federal commander was Gen. John Pope, who had been appointed in place of Gen. McClellan, who had been dis placed because of his disastrous defeats around Richmond, a few weeks before. This change of commanders proved most unfortunate for the Federals, for Gen. Pope proved to be utterly incompetent, -notwithstanding his boastful proclamation or general orders issued when he assumed com mand of the Federal army. His disastrous defeat soon after is suing his boast made him the laughing-stock of toth armies. He announced that his headquar ters would be "in the saddle;" that he expected to see only 4,the back of the rebels," and that he would easily march his army not only to Richmond but through to New Orleans. And yet in the nrst oattle fought by Pope his headquarters and valuable pa pers were captured, his army ut terly routed and panic-stricken and flying to the breastworks around Washington for safety. ry mis victory a large amount of valuable property fell into the hands of the Confederates, the most important of which was 25,000 stands of small-arms, twenty-three pieces of artillery and a large amount of medical stores which were greatly need edby the Confederates, whose sources of supplies were cut off by the blockade of all the Con federate ports. In this battle the Confederates fought with their usual vigor and bravery and in some instances there were clashes with the bay onet, and at one point, after the Confederates had exhausted their ammunition they used stones in repelling the enemy. Most of the fighting was done by the men of Jackson's and Long street's corps, and the artillery under Col. (afterwards General) Stephen D. Lee was admirably handled and contributed greatly to the success of the Confeder ates. Gen. Pope, in order to have a scapegoat and excuse his own incompetency, laid the blame of his defeat on Gen. Fitz John Porter whom he accused of not obeying his orders. A court mar tial was organized to trv Gpti ! Porter for alleged failure to obev T-v A J . Sixty Persons Hurt. Middletown. Conn.. Auer. 27.

The chief praise for this record is due the Democrat ic leader of the House, Hon. Os car W. Underwood, of Alabama, who proved himself to be worthy of his position, his course and conduct being distinguished for wisdom, prudence, statesman ship and patriotism. After the adjournment of Con gress Hon. Champ Clark, the Speaker of the House, briefly but clearly set forth a summary of what had been done at this ex tra session, from which we copy the following: "We redeemed every promise made in order to carry the elec tions in 1910. We have econo mized; we passed the reciprocity bill, the wool tariff bill, the free list bill, the cotton bill with the Senate amendments, which in cluded the iron and steel sched ule and the chemicar schedule; we submitted for ratification a constitutional amendment pro viding for popular election of Senators of the United States; we passed a bill for the publica tion of campaign expenses before the election; we liberalized the rules, making the committees elective by the house; we passed a resolution to admit New Mexi co and Arizona, and we passed a large number of other bills of more or less importance. It is a record of which we may well be proud and on which w will sweep the country in 1912." President Taft evidently is afraid that this record will en able the Democrats to 'sweep the country in 1912" (as predict ed by Speaker Clark), for he has already started on a speech-making trip of several thousand miles, hoping thereby to check at once the good impression that this record has made on the peo ple of this country. We confi dently predict, however, that his efforts will be in vain. BINGHAM, FREE ROUND TR SDrCllOIl IS T1UL V1I1.(U - , . mm ORE WALL, -re the REST for He.ltfc.

At the head of a narrow stairwnv wrViJVt oA tn At last the Private and the Public Local Laws of the last Legislature have been publish ed and are ready for distribution. This is quite a long delay, as the Legislature adjourned nearly six months ago. Shortly after the adjournment the Public Laws were published, comprising a small volume. The volume of Private Laws contains 1118 pages and the vol ume of Public Local Laws con tains 1324 pages. The volume of Public Laws, published last spring, contains 404 pages. It will thus be seen that while there are 404 pages of Public Laws, there are 2442 pages of the other laws, which are not of general interest. Whips Wrong Man. Special to the Charlotte Observer.

The Southern Railway officials expect to resume sched ules tomorrow, but no mail trains were operated in or out of the city today. At the heighth of the storm, the wind reached a velocity of 94 miles an hour, while the tide rose eight feet or more at the Bat tery, in front of the city. SAVANNAH IN DARKNESS. Augusta, Ga., Aug. 28. Pas sengers who have just arrived from Savannah and the crews of the Central of Georgia train, say the damage from the storm was not so great in that city as was at first feared. The greatest in jury to the city is in being com pletely cut off from all wire com munication. No loss of life has been reported, though the wreck age among the houses along the river has been extensi re. The streets are littered with debris and all today business was at a complete standstill. The electric lighting plant and power house was seriously dam aged last night and the city is in total darkness. . WILMINGTON SAFE. Wilmington, Aug. 28. Except for very high tides at Wrights ville Beach, a summer resort, 9 miles east of this city, and the consequent scurrying of resi dents and hotel guests to this city, Wilmington and this section felt very little effect of the se vere storm that raged along the South Carolina coast Sunday and today. Talked With the Dead. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 24 At lanta has had a message from the dead, according to R. B.Har nson, president of the local Psv- chological Research Society, who says ne has established actual communication with the other world, while Thomas Edison and the late William James and Lorn broso had been striving in vain. Harrison claims to have estab lished communication with a dead tnend through a peculiarly sen sitive, but not professional, nat ural medium, a woman of this city. Prior to the friend's death, he and Harrison had agreed that the one who died first would strive, if conscious in some other world after doath to establish communication with earth. Short ly after the death Harrison went to see the medium, taking with him a little knife thatthe de-. ceased had frequently used and always carried. He put the knife in the medium's hand?. She went into a trance, and, accord ing to the investigator, was soon speaking in the voice of his dead friend, saying that the shock of death had been great, but that he was afterward at peace. The dead friend sent word to his wife, through the voice, that it would be well for her to burn all his books on psychology, if they worried her. Then the voice ceased and communication could not be re-established. that most of found.

Mr. Parker said today that he had never seen such poor crop prospects. The drouth has liter ally wilted the croDs and in some counties the yield will not be half.
