To the Edltur of The Observer:
As our esteemed friends, the Home
and . Democrat give us only . weekly
visits, and as some misapprehension
may arise before their next week's is
sue, permit me to borrow a corner of
your columns to state that in the note
to my sketch of the battle of Big
uetiiei, i designed to give only the
names of captains actually present at
the time. A battle had not been ex
pected, and several of the officers were
absent on various duties. 1 followed
Col. Hill's official report, which men
tions . all the company commanders
thus:
"My thanks are due in an especial
manner to Lieut. J. M. Potent, Adju
tant, and Lieut. J. W. Ratchford, aid,
both of them cadets of the N. C. Mili
tary Institute at Charlotte. Capt
Bridgers, Company A; Lieut. Owens,
commanding company B ; Capt Boss,

Capt. McDowell, company E; Capt.
Starr, company F; Capt. Avery, com
pany G; Capt Huske, company .11;
Lieut. Whitaeer, cornmandinpTompa
ny I; and Capt. Hoke, company K;
displayed great coolness, judgment and
efficiency. - Lieut Gregory is highly
spoken of by Maj. Lane for soldierly
bearing on the 8th. Lieuts. Cook and
McKethan, company H, crossed over
under a heavy fire to the assistance of
the troops attacked on the left, so also
did Lieut Cohen, company C. Lieut.
Hoke has shown great zeal, energy and
judgment as an engineer officer: on
yahous occasions.' '' , ,'
.A correspondent of the Democrat,
writing from the field the next day
after the battle, says :
"The Hornets'. Nest Riflemen, under
command of Lieuts. W. A. Owens and

Martin F. T upper writes to the Jmi

Gen. Gordon, of Ga., was asked by a
correspondent if he ever saw the bayo
net used in the war. He replied that he
only saw one man killed by bayonet in
battle, and that was at the night attack
on Fort Stedman, when the sentinel
bayoneted an assailant. At Gettysburg,
when the advance of the two armies ran
on each other, on the 1st of July, he saw
two opposing standard-bearers rapping
each other over the head with their flag
poles. Mr. Spurgeon, it appears, "makes no
bones" of taking what material he
wants from the sermons of others. Dr.
Armitage is quoted as saying that he
heard Mr. Spurgeon preach a. beautiful
sermon one day, and at its close the fa
mous Englishman announced to his con
gregation that half of the discourse that
he had just preached he had got from
Jukes, an excellent English divine, add
ing, "Next Sunday we shall be indebted
to him for two-thirds of the sermon you
will hear," and he finished with a com
mendation of the book to his people.
JUDICIAL. FORGIVENESS,
And. Extra-Judicial Lauguae of Seventy-Five
Years Ago,
To the Editor of the Wilson Advance:
During a trial before Judge - many
years ago atHillsboro', the old judge,
who was an inveterate tobacco chewer,
and spit about him promiscuously, spit
upon the bald head of the clerk, who,
as it was the custom in those days, had
his seat directly in front of and consid
erably below the judge ; and who could
only be seen by the judge, upon leaning
over the railing and looking down. As
the tobacco spittle spread itself over the
bald crown and ran down the cheeks of
tlje old clerk, not knowing thai source
from whence it came, he roared out,
"damn it this is too bad." The judge in
stantly called upon the sheriff "to know
Sho it was swearing irL 2ourtyThe
teriff replied, it was the clerk. WkGre
upon the judge promptly ordered htm to
pay a fine, and was about to express his
surprise, that such a modef officer should
so fax, forget himself, ; when fttje clerk
arose andicoTifroritirtgi the" judge- Vas
about to explain. The judge seeing the
plight he was. in,' and suspecting, that he
jvas the cause .'of if, exclaimed "1 beg
your pardon Mr. Clerk ; I'll be d d if I
intended to do it. God forgive .us.both,
strike out the fine."

When a noble deed Is performed, a great battle fought, an Important assembly convened, thenceforth the place of their occurrence becomes fa
