; THE SOCTH AJID EDI7CATtf)H. ;
The New York Evening Post, holds
that Federal aid to common scTrirols in
the Sputh -would be a positive Injury to
this section, and in support of 'its posi
tion cites, the experience of Connecticut
with the ;ischool. fund derived from the
sale of public lands and given to her by
the general government-: This, fund
yielded, at one time, it Bays, about
01.58 for each person of school age, and
the testimony of the' secretary of . the
State board of education is that it tended
to the deterioration of the. schools, from
the fact that many of the districts came
to. depend upon it, and reduced the
length of die terms to the time 'which
the national bounty would pay for."
But the cases of the South; and (of Con
necticut are not parallel by any means,
and the Post ought to be able to see it.
The lability of Connecticut and the
other northern ' States : to provide
for sthe education of . their peo
ple has grown at a rate eqnal to
that of the increase of population. rJut
the emancipation of the negroes, against
which the Southern people could not
have been ' expected to provide, added
more than a third to the school- popula
tion of the- former slave States and that
too after two-thirds of the! property of
the South bad been destroyed ;by war.
It therefore seemed physically impossi
ble for the, Southern people, to under
take the education of this mass of ignor
ance, yet they did assume that burden
and for Years now have: been taxinir
themselves to give educational advan
tages to the blacks equal to those
.enjoyed by the whites, llev. A.
D ; Mayo, who is high authority on this
subject says "there are now', in sixteen
Southern States, 4,000,000, white and
2.000,000 colored children and you'h
of school age, of whom not one-third
can be said to be in any effective schooll"
It appears further that seventy per .cent
of the negroes over ten years of ae re
main illiterate, and that the , raiio of il
literacy for blacks and whites alike Us
increasing.; And this n spite; of the
fat, to which Mr. Mayo bears testi
mony,, that "no people in, human, his
tory has made, an effort so remarkable,
all circumstances considered, a the peo
ple of the South have : done during the
past fifteen years, in what they have al
ready ; done for Uie schooling of thj'
children." : Last year, it is shown, the
Southern people raised, and expended
for School purposes $17,000,000,
nearly a third of which went to edu
cate the children of their j former
slaves. . In many of the Southern States
the school-tax rate is higher than in
Northern States maintaining school sys-
tews supposea to oe toe nes in exist
ence, et more than one-half the South
ern children of school age are growing
tup illiterate or without instruction that
is at all worthy to be called such. , , !
': There is no. doubt about the fact that,
tn general, self-dependence is the basis
of efficient "popular education, that ! a
jebple should not look abroad J for aid
In thia;matter if they desire to develop
Strength but the situation of the South is
abnormal. A burden has been laid upon
! this section by the whole country:. Evey
aisposttion nas oeen snown to: bear it
manfully, but thus . far the effort has
ben only partially successful. There
is no rjeason in the world why tHe coun
try' as k while should not apply a com
mon ineomej that is not how needed for
an jr, other purpose to tho work'of less
ening ihe burden; The, whole country
seems indeed in duty bound to assist us,
and hence the Blair bill, now before the
Senate, which is certainly carefully
enough guarded in its provisions that
no State shall receive in any year more
than it raised in I the year previous by
local taxation., and that the aid shall
gradually diminish, and oease atsthe end
of ten years. '-'ft
That bill will stimulate I rather than
hinder the cause of common school edu
cation in the South, whatever the expe
rience ,of Connecticut may have been.
and we- hope therefore that it may be
come a law. :.!":''! ;, I Z.

: The writer of this would detract noth
ing from the hard-earned fame of pick
ew s men oq that eventful third; day of
July, but would invite the attention of
those who believe they have curetull
studied this battle to a movement whici
was successful so far as the brigade con
cerned in it could make it. I I refer to
the-assault made by Gen. GeorgQ H
Steuart k brigade, composed of tho
Third North Carolina, Maryland -bat
talion. Twenty-third, Thirty?seventh
and Tenth Virginia, and First North
Carolina, mentioned in the order of bat
tle, the lhinl regiment oni the right,
and the First on the left of the liue.
The Maryland battalion was a fine bodv
of men, composed largely of the best of
me ooutnern element of Maryland, com
manded by Ifcieut. Col Herbert. Gen.
Steuartwas a Marylander, an officer of
the regular army, and took treat nride
in adding the Maryland men to bis, bri
gade. They, it seems, were not so I
proud of their new swignment, their
complaint-being their objection to being
brigaded with North Carolinians. Thee
brave-Mary landers had 8rn but little
'hard service, ami were soniewhat spoiled
by the constant attentions which Lad
been showered upon them by the people
of the South. They were therefore
choice about their company. Subse
quent events disabused their minds in
regard to the soldierly qualities of the
Carolinians. The afternoon of tbe first
of July Steuart's brigade reached
Gettysburg, just after the successful en-
gagement of Gen. A. P, Hill with the
enemy about Gettysburg. The brigade
took a very circuitous route passing en
route the fatal railroad cut where so
many of Iverson'a North Carolinians lay
stretched in death. . It was late in the
night when the brigade reached its po
sition1 facing Gulp's Hill, on the ex
treme left Of our line I remember that
in
eettine. into position we had to
flounder through a small creek.
. Tbe Third regiment was commanded
by Major W. M. Parsley, of Wilming
ton, numbering about dy muskets. Ibe
regiment had been greatly reduced by 1
severe fighting at Chancellorsville, and
had had no chance to recruit its ranks
since. But the men who- were present
for duty were tried veterans, although
many of them were but boys. The Major
himself, only -2 or 23 years old, had
been in every engagement from the
Seven Days' battles to Gettysburg. He
was ol small stature, but had always a
Holdiorlv bearing. His training as a
soldier had been under the eye of Col.
Gaston Meares, and a promotion fol
lowed promotion. Col. Parsley was al
ways a disciplinarian of the progressive
type
On occasion he could be a boy, and
enter a wrestling match in camp with
all the zest of a i-chool boy, but woe to
the officer who presumed upon this to
take official liberties ! The attack made
by Steuart's brigade was late in the even
ing. (7.30 o'clock) and by 9 30 o'clock
the Third regiment upd the Maryland
battalion bad charged up the steep ac
chvity of Culp's Hill and took posses
sion of the enemy's works. The stream
of wounded trom this charge was very
great. In about two hours' fighting
more nien were wounded than the ut
most work of surgical assistants could
manage. The greatest enthusiasm pre
vailed among the wounded as they were
borne to the surgical rendezvous.! Ibe
Mary lan dera were l"ud in their praises
of the luird regiment, and the Maryland
battalion and that regiment were ever
after bound together by the strongest
ties. Poor Murray, captain of the right
company, was killed outright, and the
lamentations for him were all but um
versal in the brigade ! Lt. Col. Herbert
and Maj- Goldsborough, of the Mary-
land battalion, were both wounded.
The gallant brigade had scaled the hill
and gained the works of the enemy, but
their ranks were decimated, their am
munition gone.
The official report of Maj. Parsley,
read in the light of the; thorough study
which' has been given to- the battle of
Gettysburg since, is worthy of repro
ducing, and to be transmitted to the
posterity of the brave men of New Han

BZPORT OF MAJOR WM. M. PARS LET, COM
MANBLNfl THB THIRD C. KXOIMCST.
"Capt. Williamson, Ass't Aw't Gis
"I have the honor to submit the fol
lowing report of the participation of my
regiment in the battle of the 2nd and
3rd July, at Gettysburg, Pa. After
very long and tiresome march, on the
1st of Jul v I arrived at Gettvsburg
about 7.30 p'ckfek, and filed to the left,
nearly encircling the town
Here we lay in line of battle until the
evening of the 2nd, when about 7 o'clock
we were ordered forward. I was on the
right of the brigade and ordered to con
nect my right with tho left of Nichols
(La.) brigade, and at the same time by
wheel to tbe ri'ht to properly prolong
their lines. I did so, thereby in some
degree disconnecting my regiment from
the rest of the brigade. I continued to
the front, driving the enemy's skirmish
ers before . us without trouble, and
ith very little loss, until I met their
line of battle, at their first line of breast- brigade of Gen, Edward Johnson's di
wqrks They were, - however, driven vision, under Gen. George H. dteuart,
from those, ; and soon thereafter I re- of Maryland, after a most desperate con
ceived a front and oblique fire from be-
hind their second line of breastworks, to
hifch i thev had fallen i back. Thev

which I rijceived thai oblique fire, and' in the most disastrous consequences to
that from the front teemed even more Meade's army. Steuart's command, corn
terrified A steady firing was kept up posed of Maryland, Virginia and North
until 10 o'clock, (p. nj.) when, as- by Carolina troops, had on the: night of, the
common consent, at ceased, reopening at
4:30 o'clock next morning. I here found
my auunuuition almost entirely exhaust-
ed. some men not having more than two
rounds. I DartiaJly refilled the boxes
from; the cartridge-boxes of the dead and
wounded, of whom there were a great
number, and held this position that night
and the naxt morning, exposed to a
terrific; fire - until about 10:30 o'clock,
when 1 waa.Oi dt red to move by the left
flank along tho line of captured breast
works, and cross them to form line with
the reBt of the brigade to charge the ene
my's works on what was supposed to be
their right flank.
"I formed the few men then remaining
in my regiment on the : right of the bri
fade and vras very soon thereafter or
ered forward: the line advanced beau
tifully under, the heaviest fire until I
found my reeim -nt alone moving to the
front aud iinsupported, when I ordered
my officer and men to withdraw, which
was done slowly and without confusion,
my reguneut being now reduced to
scarcely a dozen men ;(one company

This report is very condensed, and
Very modest. No reference is made to
the action of the rest of the brigade,
except that when the Third regiment
advanced the commander found he waa
unsupported, and withdrew in perfect
good order, although he had but a smalt
and bleeding fragment of his regiment
Itwillbeseenby anextracttakeu from the
southern Juivouao that the enemy was
driven back to the Baltimore turnpike
in this charge, and we now understand
that it was Steuart's right wing, i. c . the
Third North Carolina regiment, which
came so near inflicting a critical blow
on the enemy s extreme right hank.
Had this gallant movement been sup
ported, the charge of Pickett would not
nave been necessary the next day. A
most unfortunate blunder took place in
this night charge. As I look over the
list of the wounded I can recall several
of them who were wounded-in the back
by one of our unsteady regiments in the
rear of the Third. The list, as reported
by the assistant surgeon of the regi
ment, enumerates 34 killed ami IliT
wounded. This list was made up oh
the field, and was as accurate as it could
be made at the time, but enough names
were added to it to swell it considerably
Only a few days ago one of the men
wounded in the famous second day's
charge showed me his wounded thigh,
and related how he crawled away under
the most trying circumstances, ins
name does not appear on the list. Poor
fellow ! bince the above was written
he has just died of a lingering disease,
surrounded by his wife and numerous
kinspeople. The killed and wounded
were estimated at 180 afterward and
upon good data. What fearful slaugb-
ter; a regiment oi ouu guns reuueeu
in a few short hour by the killing and
wounding of 180 men 1 When the regi
ment Was mustered after the battle 77
muskets were all that could be got into
the ranks. This proud regiment, that
went into the field over a thousand
strong in the Seven Days battle was so
much reduced after the Gettysburg bat
tle that the major at the head' of the
column and assistant surgeon at the foot,
could carry on a conversation without
effort. Maj. Parsley, Capt. Cowan,
Capt. Armstrong and Lieut Lyon, and
perhaps others I do not now remember,
came out of the battle without a scratch.
but at least 80 men were left at Gettys
burg, top badly wounded to be remov ed ,
while others picked their way as best
they could back into Virginia.
Lyon, the bravest of brave men, then
a beardless, puny lad, showed conspicu-
I ous gallantry by seizing the colors at
a critical moment trom the bands ot
the fatally wounded color-bearer. That
. . m . a
last charge was a cruel thing for the
Third. They had borne the brunt .p"
the engagement, not' even enjoying the
protection of the works they had cap
tured from the enemy, by reason of
their position, other regiments of the
brigade happening, by the fortunes of
the battle, to have them in their froul.-
Every officer in Parsely's old company;
the Cape rear Killemen, was kilicii.
The part borne by Adjutant T ;Q.
James, which elicited much hearty pr. ise
from Maj. Parseiy,' whs' exci'ediuijiv
hazardous. In going from one part of
the line to the other he was exposed to
the most terrific fire, and that he escaped
with only a flesh wound in the leg was
very remarkable- He was well known
in the brigade as a daring officer, who
besides this had military sagacity and
energy. No little of the success of the
day was due to the unflagging impetu
osity of this officer, .He was always re
I lied upon at critical times to undertake
any duty which required dash
He was
the pride of his regiment.
I have said more than I intended; to
introduce the extract of tho narrative of
Steuart s brigade at Gettysburg from
the 'Southern Bivouac, but art regiments
are often swallowed up in divisions, and
the composition of the brigades it this
late day having passed from the memory
of all but the old soldiers, it seemed
necessary. , -
On the night of tbe 2d .the Third
I fiict with the enemy on the' extreme lett
I of IS well S corps, had gained for the lat-
I tor command a position wLich. if it had
I zd driven the enemy from his entrench-
j ments, which were in rear of his front
I on Uulp s 11 ill, and at right angles to
I the latter stronghold. Steuart's com-
mand occupied the entrenchments tbout
9.3U o'clock at night, near ' the Balti
more pike. ' , .' .
Lossicg, the federal historian, gives
quite an amusing account of how Steuart
captured them.
In his historf of the war, vol. 3, page
691, Lossinc savs : , 'Johnson's divis
ion moved under coyer of the woods and
deepening twilight, and expected au easy
conquest,; by which a way would be
opened for dwell s corps to pass to the
Federal rear, but found a formidable
antagonist in Green's brigade, assisted
by part of Wardsworth s division, who.
fought the enemy fiercely, trewing tho
wooded slopes with their dead, .finally
part of the enemy penetrated the works,
near Snangler's Spring,1 from which the
troops nauoeen temporarily withdrawn. "
There is no doubt hat the works taken
by the right of Johnson under General
Steuart, were occupied by Federal
troops, and that they kept up a contin
uous fire on our - lines. After this
amusement had proceeded for several!
hours the Federal troops were with-;
drawn, but the orders to do so came
from Gen - Steuart's men, and were - de-
I livered at the point of the bayonet.
Gen. Lee. in iiis official report, notices
J this exploit, and says : ; "The troops of
I Johnson s division moved steadily: up
ihe steep and rugged: ascent, under a 'j
j heavy fire, driving the enemy into his j
ena-enchments, part of which were car
ried by Gen. Steuart'i brigade, and a
number of prisoner! taken. .
The position thus won was of great
importance. Its capture was an open
breach in the enemy a line of defence,
j through which droops njiht hye been
passed in force and the enemy's Btrong
nold on Cemetery Hill rendered untena
ble. The ! Federal General Howard, in
ppoakiug of this oversight of the Con
federates, says: "Th'ir. generals evi
dently dil nut realize .until iu the morn
ing the gi at advantage they h.-.u
gained." "This is certainly true. (Jet!.
Ewell did not know tho vital iiiiport
of the position gained duriug the u iit,
or that energetic command'? would iin
doujbtedly have passed Rhodes' divU'o.i
through the gap that Steuart bad opened
for hitti- Gen. Meade was, however,
fully aware of the danger that menaced
his army, and during the entire night
the Confederates could hear the rum
bling of the enemy's guns and the
moving of great masses of infantry,
which ,were concentrating in front "of
Johnson's division. The first dawn of
day revealed to Ewell his fatal mistake.
But it was in perfect keeping with
nearly all the haphazard blunders of the
campaign.
The j enemy's artillery opened on
Steuart's advance at the first streaks of
daylight, to which he had no means of
replying, as his guns could not be car
ried up the stoep and fjigged ascent. At
sunrise, a whole column of the enemy's
infantry attacked Stedart's advance, in
order to rout him from his line befure
Eell ; could reinforce him. They
drove in E well's skirmishers pn-his main
line, but could not dislodge his gallant
troops from the entrenchments they had
taken. During the whole mojrning,
against desperate odds, Steuart4 held
the works until 9 o'clock, when his am
munition failed, which was supplied by
his soldiers, who went to the rear and
carried ammunition for small arms to
the front in -blankets At 9:30 lien.
Kwell issued an order tor Johnson's di
yision to assume the u;l nsive and assail
the top'of Culp's Hill, mi the right of
Steuart's line, and supported Johuson
by David s brigade.
. mt a
the : works to be gi rmed were in
front of a great part of the Confederate
tine oi paiue, except tne position neia vy
the left advance under Steuart, and th
latter command had to change front,
forming a right angle with the ponitiou
last held.
- Tbe. division of Johnson advanced,
and for an hour there followed one of
the severest battles of tho conflict. 1
was a perfect slaughter-pen. Every at
tempt made to carry the crest of Culp's
Hill was repulsed. Ihe brigade of Gen.
Steuart charged the enemy at the piu
of the bayonet and drove him to the
Baltimore pike. At length tbe division
fell back to the foot of the hill, leuvm
the ground covered with the dead and
wounied. Uur loss in this assault was
very great for the number engaged
Among those who fell was the beiove
and admired Captain W. H. Murray j
the Second Maryland. Steuart's bri
gade, which mustered over 2,000 men
tost heart v half of his command. The
conflict was so severe before Culp's Hii
that it i induced Gen. Geary, who pom
iiianded a division in front of Johnson
to think that the principal part of the
battle of Gettysburg was fought there.
' t cr several hours on this part, of the
liue the most infernal- engines of de
struction known to modern Warfare had
been wielded with a power seldom if
ever equaled. The terrible effect of the
cannonade was still discernible in this
part of the conflict after the lapse of
years. ; The thickly wooded ground in
the rear, as well as the heavy trees : in
the neighborhood of Wolf's Hill, expe
rienced' the effects of the heavy artillery
fire of the Federal guns. The writer
visited the battlefield in July, 18Gt, for

Even then the trees showed how they
bad been torn with rifled artillery and
thells; the limbs were fearfully splin tered,

raged most furiously seemed to be leaf

occupants, having yielded up their lives
with thpse whom they had overshadowed
in the I conflict.". Southern Bivouac,
