Since he met Gen. A.

Put this was exac Jy what Gen. Grant was determined should take plaoy fur its effect upon the. Northern people. On th it ill fate J day, Pembertou's army of near ly 40,000 men, after having done all that brave men , coul 1 do, surrender ed themselves as prisoners of war. While this was going 011, the oth wormd-..lm'uig Jtifii1;l the rugged .rocky heights of OctM burg. The line of battle of the Fed eral army under Gen.

In the apex was the ceme tery of Gettysburg, at the en I of Cemetery Ridge. Thus Gen. Lee had the whole psuorama of the bat tle immediately under hie view. Of course, tho OnteuVrete Army Lai to conform their lines to those of the Fidtuls, wtiese line fo lowed the ir regular zigzag course of the rorgh boulders of rocks which form a nat ural rampart of rock that was impreg nable when manned by American soldiers, fighting on their soil, defen ding their own homes, and attempt ing V drive back the invaders of their and; for Geo. Lee s army was then an army of invasion. Notwithstanding all this and more, yet Southern valor repeatedly carried those rugged heights; those rampart of huge rocks framed by nature's own hands, and manned by Ameri can veterau soldiers behind them, fighting on their own soil an army of invaders who were trying to copqner a peace f t themselves. Yet so zigzag was the r edcral l'uc that, when carried by the confeder atcs, they were instantly refilled and almost surrounded on their flanks; and never could bold what the) had so gatl'iiitly talen. No storming o-dumn in fither an cient or modern times, tnrpnesed tho. coolness and daring of the 6:h N. 0. Regiment, which led the column of Hokcs Bngml".

Atlanta Conditn BATTLE OFGUILFOUD COURT HO (J SC. Trackdaying on tbe tape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad is now being carried through come very historic ground..

This ws the spring before the fall of tho sur render of Com Wallace wi h an army of7,000 men to Washington at York town which was termed the decisive battle for American liberty. Ex. The battle of Guilford Court House as fought on tho 15th March 1781, now a little over 105 years ago. Its importance la not generally apprecia ted.

The nmlcsp Ga'es risked bis army at C-smden, and had it annihilated, Gen. Grvtne tccoercd the whole South, aad yet never gained a single battle. But his raw and ill discii pllned, and worse furnished troops, he alwayi gave the enemy a stunning blow, and aj niaueuvervd as never to rh'k.the di'struction tf his army. Washington, of course, must at wayi be first among our icvolution ary heroes; and, without question, Grcete, is second.

(Suddenly Friday June 25th, Campbell niul tb Knilroud Sub- - NflitiOll. The Campbell Record makes aome good points in the following why the people of Campbell should vote the railroad subscription- The News desires to give them the ; benefit of its circulation in the country: ; , Remember that the $100,000 which Campbell ia asked to subscribe to the Lynchburg, Halifax and North Caro lina rood will all le spent in the county, and not only that, but the $250,000 which Lynchburg has sub scribed and many private subscrip tions. Thus nearly $500,000 will be added to the taxable vulues of the county. Remember that this money will be scattered through the coram unity and (rive an impetus to business of of all kinds. While the work of construction is going on it will in crease the demand for labor and the demand for supplies, and import ac tivity to every department of trade. Remember that real estate all along the line will be enhanced in value, that immigration will be at tracted, and our surplus lands may be sold at good prices. There is scarcely a land holder in the. county who would not . be better off if he could sell half his land at a fair price and use. the money to improve the remainder. Remember when you vote for the railroad that you are voting for life, progress, improvement, as opposed to inactivity and stagnation. Remember that the railroad will bring along with it increase of pop ulation, improved agriculture and the introduction of new and profi table industries. , - ' Remember that thriving little towns will spring up at all the depots, furnishing home markets for many things now unsaleable. Remember that the railroad will render available the pine and oak timber on thousands of acres now parctically valulesa, ; Remember that the railroad will run for thirty-five miles through Campbell -county, cheapening trans portation and saving time to the farmers, and time is money. ; Remember that Brookneal , is at the head of the steam navigation on Staunton river and with this road she will only need energy aud en terprise to develop into a city of no mean proportions.
