Wi present in another column a pic
ture of the old North State pt todaj
draw bj one of the closest observers
tand besti portrayera of the age, Col.
A. K. McClore, the editor of the Vhila
delphia Times. Oar readers will recog
nise in it a representation by no means
flattered, yet one in. which ;we can take
the highest pride. Col. McTJlur viewed
the land without bias or faVor, and his
description is in words of simple truth.
His compliment to, ex-Goy. Jarvis is
deserved if ever compliment was. .
Wa learn with pleasure that Hon. Jan.
S. Battle has been promoted tjoj the po
sition of Revenue Agent. ' He has been
in the service several months' already
under Col. Geo. B. Clark, a prominent
Missouri democrat, who has charge of the
division comprising the States of Vir
ginia, North Carolina and South Caroli
na but he is now advanced to a place
equal in dignity and responsibility to
that of Col. Clark.. What; hi division
is to he, however, has not been announc
ed. The people are to be congratulated
on this news. Mr. Battle is a 'man of
the highest character .and of fine bus
' iness capaoity. He has . long ibeen a
leading citizen of the State by reason of
his upright walk in life, and : he will
faithfully and intelligently perform the
duties of any office he may accept. .

Thi resolutions of practical value
adopted , by the convention of South
Carolina farmers as summarised by the
Charleston- News and Courier,: were as
follows: "1. The general depression of
the farming interests throughout the
Southern States-is not the result of bad
State legislation or uuwiee adminis
tration, but is directly traceable
to our, unwise system ;of . raising
all cotton and buying everything
we use in foreign markets.' - '2.
The I present, impoverished Condition
of the farmers, of the J State is at
tributabli to the following pluses: Wont,
a false idea of the profits of cotton
crops; second, a ruinous system of ten-
. antrj; third, a 'ruinous system of farm
ing without care' for' the preservation of
the fertility of the soil; fourth, a' care
less and wilful giving awy of hard
earned money tor wortUesa commercial
fertilixers; nftiv tho shameful .'neglect
to raise the necessary supplies for home
consumption; sixth, the: careless ; and
unbusinesa-lige manner of managing, of

THK BATTLCOr BABE'S HILL
Some Weeks ago, as ': our readers will
remember, we reprinted an article from
the Chatham, Record on the battle ot
Hare's Hill or Fort Steadman, as the
Federals call it, to the effect that the
troops that led the attack and bore the
brunt ofj thai battle constituted Grimes'
division,! whisk was composed of Cox's
and Grimes' old brigade of North Caro
linians,; Battle's brigade of Alabamians,
and Cook's -brigade of Georgians, all
commanded byMajor-Gen.Bryan Grimes.
This drew a communication from Gen. Wi
G. Lewis, in which it was alleged that
the Becord had "fallen into an error" and
was asserted that Walker's division (in
which wis Gen.- Lewis' brigade) "led
the attack", and 'hat eighty picked men
were selected; from Lewis' brigade as the
"forlorn hope'', and that these men were
the first to enter the enemy's works,
&c. Gen. Lewis was followed by Judge
Gudger, whoi wrote that he was adja-tant-of
(the 25th regiment in Ransom's
brigade, (and; that a detachment from
that brigade 'formed the advance of the'
movement upon tne enemy s lines, and
this advance guard crossed the field be
tween tii two lines and surprised and
took the ifort." In reply to this Gen.
Lewis ?wiro& again, saying: ! "Captain
G adgef is in error. The fort he refers
to was not Fort Steadman, but a fort on
the south bank of the Appomattox river. ' '
Later still there was a communication
from Mr.) J. P. Leach corroborating the
original 'statement of the Becord, the
writer sating that he was a member of
Co. 0, 53d regiment, Grimes' division,
and hat he was one of the men of that
division detailed to lead the assault at
Hare's Hill. !
Referring to all these communications
the Record in a recent issue says :
' "Now there are three honorable and
faithful, trentlemen, Messrs. Lewis, Gud
ger and Leach f making contradictory
statements each asserting that a dif
ferent bojiy of troops led the advance
and captilred; Fort SteadmanJ Is it any
wonder then that, history is so fall of
errorti ? This was the last battle of the
war; immediately preceding the evaoua
tion . of Petersburg; and vet the chief
participants in it on the same side can
not agreeUn so material a fact as what
troops led the attack I
We are . pleased that the Record's
article lias : elicited : this discus
sion and I we V hopeV other partic
ipants in! the battle -ot,Hare'B Hill
will write, their recollections- and thus
the movements of all the troops engaged
in it may be; explained and the exact
iruia ne ascertained, n nue vne suie
men is above quoted appear to be con
tradictorjK. yet we j think that
they can all be reconciled. It is most
probable that the enemy's breastworks
were assaulted simultaneously by
U rimes division, Walker s division and
Ransom'M brigade, but at different
points, Lewis- brigade attacking at one
piace, as pescriDea Dy uen. Jjewis, jun
somts brigade at another; place, as de
scribed by Judge Gudger, and Grimes
division 4( another; place, as de4
scribed by the Record and corroborated
or mr. Lfiaon. .
We bmg p the matter again today
not Only as interesting and appropriate
w ibis mmoruu season, dui in oraer to

to be arrived at. . Hounan testimony

No two men,l however intelligent and

taking al this most reliable aooountsj

We learn that Gen. Lewis, in a recent
letter to the editor of the Record, eon
eludes that the Record's ' original state-

North Carolina is tvi fiu:l" from the
other reconstructed States iu having at
tained, solely by the efforts of-her own
people, a higher degred of general pros-
Eerity than was ever , before attained in
er history. She has a more prosperous
and thrifty people to-day than at any
period spf the past, ahd there is more
capital employed and; i less debt, State
and individual, than any time in th,e
last balf-century. Texas has surpassed
the pld North State because of her large
influx of immigration : and wealth; but
North Carolina has fewer foreigners and
a more completely homogeneous popula
tion than any other State of the Union.
Since the rescue of the State from the
tempest of profligacy: that swept over it
after the war under thet Holden govern
ment, the taxes have steadily diminished
until they are only .nominal, and the
schools have increased until thoy proffer
education to every child in the common
wealth,; ardless of loolor. Her le
gitimate debt is steadily reduced; her
treasury has a large! Surplus; her hu
mane institutions, conducted with equal
care and outlay for both races, are mon
uments, of credit; her -public improve
ments' have kept pace with the growing
wants of her people;; her authority re
flects the pride of the State in its stain
less integrity, and thrift and contest are
the common blessings, of heit people.
For this exceptional "record there are
many able and true m& to whom North
Carolina is indebted; but it is no injus
tice to any to say that ibj no one is she so
much id deb ted as to Thomas J. Jarvis,
the late Governor. 'His term of six
years, ended only by the mandate of the
constitution, has brought the State to
the largest measure -of prosperity ever
known mall her past; and. there is not
a son of North Carolina who does not
share in the general pride of a more
than rehabilitated commonwealth. When
it is considered that North Carolina has
every important mineral within her
borders; from gold to if on; ; that she has
every variety of sou for every variety
of crops, from wheat to cotton; that she
has every variety of climate, from the
sunny southern coast to. the chills of the
highest peak of the Appalachian range;
that she has ater-power enough in a
single river to spin and weave tne whole
cotton of the South, and that her lands
are nearly "as cheap and her ' climate bet
ter than the West, when these facts are
weighed in the scale of intelligence, the
mementous meaning : of a New South.
with sectional tranquility assured, may
be understood in the JNorth: as it is now
understood in the CarOlinaa,
