T Most Magnificent Confederate fighting, GEN. BOYNTON S DESfc-IPTIOX OF THE SOUTHERN SOLDIERS AT CHICKA MAUGA. As one ai'.vance in the studv of the battle of Chiikamaiiffa he must, at every step, become more ana more impressed with thejnugnihcenceof the weight of metal and the momentum of Confederate fighting. Since the first blows vigorously delivered controllde assertion that t'hickumaiiga was for the result at every point, both sides the blood. et battle of the Late in the evening of Saturday, war, in proportion to numbers and the when the fighting on the flanks had time of the engagement, and that it well nigh ceased, came Stewart's di far outranked in the percentage of viion of Bate's and Clayton's and killed and wounded any of the battles Brown's biigades,-pounding its way of modern Europ -, there has beei an past the flank of a third, they penet rat industrious searchiriir of records, both ed beyond the Lafayette road. Before of our own war and t.f recvnt famous its brave career was checked it campaigns, to test the accuracy of the claims made for Chitkamauga. Bu the further the investigation has pro ceededj''and it i now sufficient")' com pleted to allow general results to be stated with certainty, the more clearly the truth of the first assertion has been made to appear. It is not strange, herefoie, that the discussions of the past year, which have served to dispel so many of rmVapprehensious whjch louden the public mind in regard to became but ordinary performance when his battle, and dwarfed it in the his- compared with the marvelous xhibi ory of tlie country, should have ere- tiou of courage and endurance which ited such widespread interest in its ' real histpry, and raised it at once to the very front rank of the most notable en- gageuients ot the war. The marvel ot" German fighting in ' he ureat battle of Mars la Tour was i lerformed by the Third Westphalian legjment. It suffered the-heaviest J oss in the German armv during the ; Franco-Prussian war. It went into ' attle 3,000 strong, and its loss 49.4 er cent. 1 here was nothing in the campaigns for which this formed a part wncli exceeded the.-e figures, and h y became famous throughout the German Army. And vet in our war there were only sixty regiments whose losses exceeded this. Seventeen of then! lost about 00 per cent., and quite a number of them ranged from 70 to 80. There were over si score of regi ments on each side at Chickamauga whose loss exceeded that of the West phalian regiment. lint the object ot this letter is more particularly to set forth the character of the splendid fightni'jr performed by every portion of Bragg's army on this noted held itt(jeoria. The battle of Saturday opened in front of Gen. Hraiinan, on the ex treme Confederate right, an I here a brigade of Forrest's cavalry, dismount ed, assisted almost immediately by Con federate infant rv. assaulted the Union lines. As thev wtrti driven back by an overwhelming fire they were con tinually reinforced for nearly four hours. The b:ittle was continuous and constantly at short rane. In fact, it .v . it . t was a distinguished feature" or the whole two day's battle that most of the fighting was at a close range, much of it hand to hand, with the bayonet and lubbed muskets. Forrest s men in front of lirannan assaulted time and again, marching un into the very faces of the Union infantry, and in their final effort came on four lines deep, with their hats drown down over their faces, and bending forward against the storm of lead as men face tlie elements. The rapid fire of long and well trained infantry seemed to have no effect upon veterans, and it was not until they had marched, up into the line of fire of bat teries, which, with doubled-shotted canister, enfiladed their ranks at a mur- e, that their advances was checked. Even here thev stood and fought with desperation. Ector and Wilson of Walkers division, and Walt hall and Govan of Lildell's, all march ing to the assistance- of those contend ing in this hell of battle, became, in turn, as hotly engaged themselves in front of Baiid, and for hours on his portion of the field the scene just de scribed on the extreme Confederate right was repeated for all of these bri-! gades. At the fiist onset Walthall and Govair drove their lines over the flank of the regular brigade and captured its battery, only to be themselves pushed back again silmost at the point of the bayonet, and so shattered from their courageous exposure at short range as to be practical lyj)ut out of the fight for several hours. Nothing could ex ceed the valor of these troops. There was nothing in the way of desperae fighting either of infantry or artillery which they were not called upon to face. And they did face it with si courage seldom equalled and which it was impossible to surpass. Thus the lines of the two armies, marching toward the sound of the furi ous battle, closeil in toward the posi tions of 'Brannan and Forrest, each striking the other, sis they came into position and within reach, with sis ponderous siud murderous blows as are eyer delivered in war. Cheatham, moving to the support of Walker, turn ed on Johnson with irresistable force and drove him well bsickward toward the Lsifayettc road, when Palmar ar riving on Johnson's right, these two djvisions, acting "in. concert, drove Cheatham beck a mile, and badly shattered his entire command. Next came Hood with Law and and Bush rod Johnson's divisions and one brigade of Preston's, and these grappled lines of battle that at times were scarcely two musket lengths, and thus till sun down this contest raged in the thick woods between the Lafayette road and the Chickamaupi, each line bending backward as the other delivered its heaviest blows, and as if gathering strength by the recoil, in almost every instance, rushing forward again to sway the opposite side backward- in turn, I here wa no general stampede on either side at anv point of the first day s battle but weight of lines and had well nigh divided the Union .line. It is easy to see that over all this ex tended area of bitter and continuous fighting the loss must have been ter rific. The figures to be represented lelow will make the character of this fiohtinj;, to wh'ch reference has thus been made in most adequate terms, more clearly understood. But stub- born and terrific and deadly as was the Confederate fighting of Saturday, it were exhibited in that arniv on Sunday before the Union breastworks about the Kelley farm, and upon the slopes lor bnodgrass Hill and ;the Horseshoe Ridge. The Union line about the Kellev farm was established on the crest of a low ridge sheltered by heavy woods, and the troops were protected in their position by a low breastwork of logs and rails varying from two to four feet in height. Time and itgain from It) o'clock till 2, the whole right wing of the Confederate army rolled its lines on the slight works in continual breakers, only to be shattered and driven buck as the waves of the ocean go to pieces on the beach; brigade after brigade dashed themselves sigainst the salient of this low work, to be shattered and broken, and to retire with a loss so great that after 2 o'clock, and throughout the most of the aferr.oon, the right wing of the Coirfederafe line, had so weaked itself by its brilliant, tremendous, and vet inaffective fight ing s;s to be practically incapable of further effort until much time had been consumed in reorganization. But even this fighting, persistent and mar velous as it h;id been, wsis surpassed by the wonderful assaults ot Long street's wing tludnghout thn afternoon upon the ridges held by Wood nd Brannan suid Stedman. For an hour after the break took place in the Union line on Sunday the entire Confederate army was assaulting the Union posi tion. Breckinridge's division, with Helm, Adams, and Stovsil, was turning the Union left and had moved far into the rear, but Helm's brigade, striking the salient of Baird's position, had been effectusilly shattered, its com mander killed, sind some of his regi ments almost annihihited. Gist and Colquitt of Walker's had fought with the same fierceness and the same want of success. Stewart, in front of Rey nolds and Brannan, with his three magnificent brigades of Bate sintlChu ton and Brown, had pushed into the very face of the Union line, but still found themselves unable to csirry the low works, before them. At the same time Law's division of Longstreet had rushed upon the front of Harker, mov ing across open ground and under hesivy enfilading fire of Frank Smith's regular battery, and up almost to the muzzles oi the infantry's rifles. In this movement Kershaw supported Hood, and thus the Union troops on the right had the full view and full experience of the fighting of Longstreet's veterans, Bushrod Johnson in front of Brannan, Hindman before Stedman, with Pres ton's strong brigades as a reserve, al ternately assisting on one point and then on another of the ridge all these covered its long slope almost "contin uously from noon till dark with lines of assaulting columns. The splendor of such fighting as this is enhanced many fold by the fact that from the beginning to the end it was unsuccess ful fighting. Ordinary soldiers can be p-irried forward in si battle so long as " --- I J success attends their movement, but a test of manhood, of soldierly ability, of courage and endurance, which it is dif ficult to measure aud which cannot be overestimated, comes when, through a siftprnoon assault sifter assault seemingly in overwhelming number has failed, and when the line of each suc ceeding adviince and retreat is thickly strewirwith dead and wounded, and all the terrible wreck of battle. To say that in the face of such experiences the Confederate lines were rallied quickly after every repulse and brought forward agsiin to new ana ever ous sissaults over slopes thus covered with horrors, is to say that all c;in be said in nraise of the valor of tlie offi- f-prs wJio directed the soldiers who executed these m irvellous storming narties. Turning to the fif uresof loss in inde pendent commands, they will be found . ... ... - t iL. V. to snow that this praise oi me uu federate fighting is in no setose exag gerated. In truth, language cannot exsiif'reriite it. The loss in Lougstreet's wing reach- 11 nr ppnt.. iind most of this was incurred on the second day oi tlie oat r - " rv ' , ... , . tie, and the largest part of it in little more than an hour on Snudsiy after noon. Bushrod Johnsou's division lost 42 per cent. The Tenth Tennessee, iu one of his brigades, has a csisusilty list of 6S per-cent., Patton Anderson's brigade, of Hindman's division, lost 30 per cent., and most of this was in the afternoon of Saturday. Among the regimentsd losses, that of the Ninteenth Alabama was 43 per cent,; that of the Tweuty-second Alsi bama 55 ner cent. Brown s brigade of Stewart's corps lost 38.3 per cent., Bate of the same division, 48.7. per cent, and Chiy ton, the remaining brigside, 42.4 per cent.; sind Bate in one afternoon had three horses shot under him. In Clayton's brigside the Eighteenth Alabama lost 50 per cent. Preston s division, m less than one hour and thirty minutes, on Sundsiy afternoon lost 33 per cent, of those en gsiged. Gracie's brigade of this divis ion lost 34.8 per cent, in a single hour, while assaulting the position of Gen. Brannan on Horse Shoe Ridge, and the total loss of the same brigside in the second dsiy's tight was 37 per cent. Of GrsiciVs brigade the First Ala. Leaion lost 70 per cent.; the Sixty third Tenn. 49.7 per cent. This brigside of Gracie, which suffer ed such terrible loss within the spsice of an hour, carnedinto action 2,003 of ficers and men, and in this time lost 098 killed and wounded. The Second Alabama battalion lost 109 killed and wounded out of 239. In the assault on the Ridge, in which these losses oc enstred, the colors of the Second Ala bama were pierced in eighty-three plsices. They were afterward, by re quest, presented to Presideut Davis, and the standard bearer, Bobert W. Hearth, wsts promoted for conspicuous courage.

At the recent commencement of the Wilmington, DeL, Commercial College the following admirable address was mside to the gradusitiug class by Mr. Job H.

Every young man msiy resid with'profit this exhortation to noble living, suid msiy take encourage ment in his example ot success attained through the conscientious following of a high standsird which the distinguish ed speaker's own life presents. After preliminary remark Mr. Jackson said: fn snesiking of success 1 do not wish to be understood that the only success in life to be coveted is to msike money and gain wealth. Many of the most successful divines, lawyers, physicians, statesmen, authors, warriors and teach ers have lived and died poor. A vast army of good men and women are blessing this earth to-day by their lives, who have but little of this world's goods. What is success? A friend of mine at the head of one of Philadel phia s great banksaid: "It is a life well spent." A very beautiful defini tion, but not to be compared with the one given by Christ: "She hath done what she could." It is doing one's duty and doing it everyday. It is making use of our opportunities. It is looking out in search of that which will uplift and ennoble. It is holding on to the throttle as the locomotive plunges on to certain destruction. It - is throw ing overbosird si valuable cargo to ssive strangers. It is refusing to catch the outstretched hand of succor, pre-; ferring to remain on the frail support with wife and children and be swept on by the flood of the Conemaugh to certain death. It is making personal sacrifice for an education.- It is mak- j ing self-denisils for those of our homes.
