1: In Y.'riitf-a for Tha CU-i rver. The tattle of r.e'.hel, f r. v.t on the 30th of June, 1S61, on the reninsula of Yorktown, tome miles below that i old-time town, does not and will not itak rank In history as one of the great conflicts of either ancient or imoderh times. But it was a more ;Jr ortant engagement than It Is per .;3 given credit foa, Its moral ef- ct was extraordinary and" far-reach- .Ins. ' . V . . . ,' i The Arny of Italy, small In num- (bers, aggregating not more than 35,- , ,000 men of all arms, poorly equipped jand new to battle, saw Itself surpass f In victories and conquests the veteran legions or Massena and Moreau; and, Inspired by the genius of Napoleon, it carved republics ut of subterfu ) gated kjngdoras. "while It dictated i tunes to the supreme head of the ' church in the sacrea city of Rome. So the Confederates at Bethel, routing a numerically superior; bet-ter-armed and better-furnished Fed eral force,1 marched fcack to York town' elate and triumphant, but not ' victorious. ! ; They had known from the beginning that they -were willing : to fight;- they found out that, better soil, they knew how w flght.v. ;They ' entered that baptism of Are volun '. Seers; they emerged from it soldiers. The First (Bethel) ' .Regiment , of North Carolina .Infantry , was, In number, , personnel and ' equipment, probably the finest 'regiment organ ized during the c'vl war. Increased , ' to 12 companies shortly after its ar- rival at Yorktown, and each of those c i companies having from 100 to 120 -. men rank and "file. Us abearance on drill and dress parade was striking and splendid, almost spectacular and .Kaleidoscopic, for all the companies "were 'handsomely but .differently unl .? formed. -,v w' - ' ? yJ" 'S This regiment furnished hot a tew ,of the distinguished leaders ln "i the armies of the Confederacy; Hill rose to. ne - rank or lieutenant general,, and Iwa on of the hardest fighters In the pervice; juee leu on tne neia Of bat tle, and was the most ; daring ' and (graceful rider that I saw from the i beginning to the close of the war,' -.1 Hot -excepting even Gen.

Between Wilmington ana Kicnmono they fought on the train among; themselves like wild Deaats, and were treated like wild tjeasts by. their commissioned; and non-commissioned officers knocked over the hoad And beaten into sub mission by sword hilts and 4He butts of muskets. In Richmond they broke bounds during the night and terror ized parts of the city by their law lessness, as desperate a mob as that of Paris during the strife of the Ar- magnacs and Burgundlans in the relgtr-of he"FrencirriClf"" ChaYles VIL- A'.fcw days after reaching Yorktown they mutinied on account of a delay In the issuance of -rations, rushed out of camp with their guns, and began shooting and butchering ine canie or rarmers in tne surround- nig wiuij. ueu. auun a, aj-ttgruuer, that superb soldier, commandant of the. forces at Yorktown, surrounded the Zonaves with other troops of the garrison, and compelled their lmme- v dlate return to Quarters, on pain off feeing ahot down without mercy. But they would fight. It is said I do not know whether or not it is history that they afterwards met the New York Zouaves on the field of battle, and th two corps fought to ; extermination. Would they have mar- red or more brilliantly made the bat tie of Bethel? wen, wun suon material among - the officers, it is hot strange tha the - men of the First North -Carolina Regiment developed a backbone and an esprit dtt corps which responded witn alacrity and enthusiasm, to. Gen wral Magruder's call for volunteers ,on a remarkable occasion, about two nmonths after the battle of Bethel. Information had been received at headquarters -that at a short-distance ' outside the main line ,of .the .fortjfi- rations "of Fortress" Monroe was situ : ated a redoubt of three or four field - "pieces, supported by only a small de i Cachment of 4nfantry. It was believ ed that by a carefully planned and o-apidiy executed night attack this ' redoubt, might be urprised, and its guns captured.' At any rate, the hope seemed so reasonable that a picked - body . was organized . for the expedi tion with all possible secrecy, the men being ' Ignorant of their destination. and only, tore-warned that they were - compressing a '.'forlorn hope." . The volunteers were taken as fol lows, o tar as my memory serves me. at the rate f six or eight men from each command", though I do not claim f to be historically exact on this point: captain uruigers - Kagecombe Guards Captain William's Hornet Nest Rifles Captain Ross's Charlotte Grays r Can aln Ashe's Orange Light Infantry; Captain McDowell's Buncombe Rifle- ' men; Captain Starr's La Fayette Light' . anrantry; . captain Avery's -Burke mfles;' Captain Husk's V Independent Light infantry; captain Bell's Enfield ' "Rifles;1 1 Captain 9 1 Hoke's t Southern Btars: Captainv Marshall's Chowan Infantry; Captain Marshall's Chowan .

Aloiif- Safe, Conservative Lines 3Ir. Tiers Explains His Measure Full Text of Uie Bill. Money. s .- Pertaining to the foregoing topic Mr. Clarence V, Tlera. of Pittsburg, a banker, who has on several occasions advanced new ideas, has prepared a measure to be introduced in Con gress designated for the purpose of remedying tne deficiencies in eur currency system, Regarding hia bill, and in a summary,; Mrv Tiers says; "Tha bill is intended to supply a permanent elastic nurrencv . and to Immediately meet th crying financial needs of the whole country. . Further wan this, it is intended as an argu ment to prove that the elastle cur rency problem now before the nation can be solved arang sound, conserva tive lines by the adoption of a new form, of bond secured legal. tenJer notes here described, and to prove that a resort, either in this great emergency or at any time in the fu ture, to any rorm of so-called ,wlu cat or 'asset' i currencv or "uncov ered notes,' U absolutely unnecessary ana unwise, particularly at this time. , "If national banks are to be per muted to issue additional notes with out the deposit of additional bonds, the confidence inaurinar lezen.1 'se cured -by bonds deposited - with the unueo, states Treasurer, at Washing ton, D. C must be stricken off of national bank notes. : In the llgM of present conditions is there any con servatlve national-banker who-would dare to take this plunge? "Briefly atated, this bill -provides as follows: . r.u ' "First. The immediate releaslns for the uses of business, of one-halt of the cash reserves of all national banks, upon the substitution : there for of bonds of the United States, or of approved State, county1 and muni cipal bonds: said bonds, bv this bill being made convertible . into lal tender government notes v called United States currency notes' in stantly upon thelrVresentatlon as se curity at the United States Treasury or any sub-Treasury, Said bonds therefor being practically as aood as cash' for reserve purposes. This would release at once five hundred millions of dollars. If the Secretary of the Treasury deemed it necessary. This feature of the bill Is covered by section -five, which could be. 'discard ed without interfering with the mate purpose or the bill. . ; Second. The immediate .printing 0; a large supply (beginning with the largest denominations) of a new form of legal tender government notes, to be called 'United States cur rency notes,' said notes to combine the best features of 'gold , certifi cates,' 'natlonaal bank notes,' and greenbacks,' and therefore to be "1. Legal tender. "2. Payable in gold coin. "3. Secured by and issued only upon the deposit of gold coin or up on. the deposit of government, State, county or municipal bonds as se curlty.. "Third. The passage of this bill would not repeal any of the currency laws now In operation, but would merely supply an additional elastic circulating medium of exchange that could be issued in emergencies., and that would automatically cause, con traction when not urgently needed. Fourth. Througa the 'operation of this bill an abundant supply of United States currency notes' of various 'denominations would be printed and would at all times be stored In the Treasury and sub Treasuries ready for Immediate ship ment upon the receipt of such afore mentioned bonds as security. For this reason no currency famine could possibly occur in the future so long as there was a plentiful supply of such high class bonds In existence. "Fifth. - Elasticity would be post tlvely and automatically secure by ft nve (5 per cent.) per centum or seven (7 per cent) per centum tax upon the depositor of the bonds, the amount of tax depending upon the kind of bonds deposited. This tax would be sufficiently burdensome "tp cause the bond depositor to redeem his bonds by returning 'U. 8. curren cy notes' or gold olrf to the Treasury as soon as nnanciai conditions De- come normal. "No currency scheme that Ignores the currency needs of savings banks?! trust companies, and other State banks, and provides only for the needs of National banks can be either Just or effective, for the reasons "First, that It would Ignore the rights and Interests of the vast ma jority of the people and would place the Interests of the majority at the mercy of the few, and "Second, that the class of bonds which must be used as security f or any sound . elastic current is not invested In by national banks, but are very largely invested in by savings banns, trust companies ana sue in stltutlons." , . . . By this plan the, issue of circula tion bv national banks at all times would not be interfered with, and the government could issue its currency notes, in times of great VIemand, or stress, to any bank, wnich could fur nish the security, Mr. Tiers taking.tha ground that Almostall other suggested cur rency plans tend toward a . private monopoly of the money issuing pow' er which should be purely a govern ment function. Most Of them are mere temporary expedients based up on a selfish desire of certain bankers to use the government's credit with out naylnr It full value for It They nrovide for1 the mnation or national bank - currency without ueposits or 0 "White.
