TIIK ltKAMS' STATION ViCTOItT A JOINT INFAN TUM' AND CAVA1.HY 1'IOIIT N0IIT1I CAROLINA Tl) TH i MOST IIKiU KNl'OjIIUMS-McauEUOIt AND HIS HATTE'.tV ClIAUGB W1TII Tyj CAV ALRY. From Advance Sheets ot moan's History. The actions and events heretofore described were mainly by the cavalry acting separately or taking only an ordinary part with the oilier arms. Au oplnlou to some extcut prevails that the cavalry rarely acted in close conjunc tion wllli the lufautiy and that it was never known duilug the whole of the late war to bear an important part Id any great Infantry battle And tho want of cavalry or its reputed Incfll ciency, Is often alleged by coinraandlni; gener als for the failure at one thin to reap the full fruits of victory, or not at another to cover en.'ccssftilly a forced rolreat. This was certainly nit true of the cava'ry campaign of 1S(H '05 In Virginia. Butler's snrpiise of Petersburg, Ylahonu'a attack on YVarron at Poplar Spring, the battle at Reams' Station, mid the last great Infantry light at Five Forks, pro all striking In stances where tho cavalry acted In full ticcurd with the oilier arms of tho sertice, and played a conspicuous part iu the fortunes of llio day. At Reams' Station especially, the cavalry was assigned the very high honor of the front at tack ou Hancock's forlilled position. And the uiatmcr in which Ibis was dune broaglit nt once Into proiuluenco several North Carolina cavalry olllecrs, and elicited from Gen. H. E. Lee himself a special commcudatiou of the Nurtli Carolina troops engaged. It will be remembered that ou the 18th of August, 18(14, the Federal General Warren, with the Fifth Corps, seized the Weldon Rail road just below Pctcrsbnrg. It was vitally Important to Gon. Lee to regain the line of this roid. To that end he ordered the attack of Mahono on tlic2lst ot August, which failed on the part of tlio Infautry, but was entirely successful with tho cavalry the North Caro lina Brigade carrying tho extreme right, and Col, McNeill, of the Fifth, and Lieut. Co',. Moore, of tho Third, sweeping all before them up to the truck Itself each sullering, too, very severely. On the d, Hancock, with Gregg's Cavalry Division, hastened to the sup port of Warren with the Second Corps th best in tho Federal service aud took position at Roams' Station, four miles below Wanen and ten miles south of Petersburg, He at once fortified, and setto work tearing up the railroad. Gon. Leo was forced to au imme diate assault, with tho first troops then availa ble. Tho cavalry, especially, was widelj scat tered. Die Keith Carolina Brigade had just crossed and re-crossed the James, aud hasten ed to Stony Creek, marching In seven days over 100 miles, and fighting heavily every day. But by the 25th of August Gen. Leo felt him self able for ft joiut attack of cavalry, Infantry and artillery. A. P. Hill was to assail Han cock's right flank, while Hampton, with all the available cavalry, ws to cLargu uud assault the front lino at Maloue's crossing. Tho inoiinte I truops consisted principally of Birrlnger's, Beale's Uutlcr's.Ucarlng's and Itu-s's Brigades. Major Gen. W. II. F. Leo w is siek and absent, and the command of his division was assigned to Gen. Barrlnger, and tho command of the bilt.aaj to Col. W. II. Cheek, of the First Niirlh Carolina Uegltneut. Owing to obstruc tions on tho railroad, and the wooded charac ter of tho country, It was determined to use the bulk of the cavalry as disiiinunled troop. By noon, all things were ready for a grand con current attack, and llieti began one of the tlnest artillery duels ever witnessed, idle horse artillery of Hampton, aud tho inunensi giiue ot Hill, all pelted aud pounded, at the same moment, the stronghold of Hancock, and after the battle 01 dead Com-stogae coveted less than a quarter of an acre, of bis breast works. But the in fun try did not succeed so well. Four times was lieth repulsed, an I four times did ho rally. At last he carried his point and captured lltreo batteries. But ngain did the Federal divisions of Miles and Gibbon att'tnut to recapture, and llnully did recover one of the batteries. But when Hampton fairly started his long lino ot dismounted men, and by a left wheel biouuht them to the support ot the Infantry, a new zoil svlaed Ihu army. Just theu, too, Hampton dispitihed Gen. Barringer tip tho Halifax road, with a large mounted force, In or.ler to reach Ilancocli's left aid rear. This was successfully none, ami great y alarmed the Yankees, Thu attack was in id at Tucker's farm, wilh the First, Second uud Fifth North Carolina regiments. Gen. Bar rlnger tlien hastened buck and took his place lu line for the flusl assault. Iu making the left wheel the Second North Carolluaaud the Ninth. Virginia were brought full against the enemy's strongest works. But these magnillcent troops swept away everything beforo them, and when the Infantry witnessed this charge, they rent the air with cheers, another joint movement was Instantly begun, and then tho whole Yan kee Hue gave way, with a loss of live guns, 2,400 prisoners, S.C30 stands of arms, seven colors and untold quantities of entrenching tools and equipments. In this great struggle all the troops did well, "Georgians, South Carolinians, racing to bo llrst, in what lliey expected would ho tho strangle of death." Bat It was conceded by all that more than an ordinary share of tho honor, as well as of danger, full to thu gallant cill.cn soldiers of tho Old North Stalo. 7'hey were complimented by all the superior olllcers. Gen, R, E. Leo himself, lit a special letter to Gov. Vance, refers to the raro g ilanlry of the brigades of Gen. Cooke, McRuo and Line In advancing through a thick abattls of felled tree, under a heavy lire of musketry and uitll lei and carrying the enemy's works with n steady courage, that ell Ited tho warm com mendations of their corps and commando! t and tho administration of thu arruv. He then adds: "tin the same occasion the brigade of Gen. Barringer bore a conspicuous part in tho operations of tho eaialry, which were not lesj distinguished for boldness and efficiency than those of the infantry." But it is sad to think that these heroic achievements aio almost wholly nnkowu out side of tho Army of Northern Vlrginlu, and those especially familiar with the history of the great "American conflict." Our own writers and historians hnvu allowed tho honors of these mighty deeds tS be .borne olt. by oilier. liuull. line North Carolinians should now unite In a noble and patriotic effort :o vindi cate the just claims of these brave men, lo t lie truth of liistoiy, ami the lusting gratitude of their people. The exploits of this day brought prominently forward, besides Gen. Barriugor himself, al ready specially referred to, tho names of sev eral North Carolina Cavalry olllcers who at tained marked eminence iu that tlillleult ser- service. Co:s. Cheek, Roberts and McNeil, of Ihu First, Second uud Fifth Rcglinen'.s, uud Lieut. Col. Moore, of tho Third, ull came nt once to the front as cavalry leaders. T he day fid tho occasion gave Roberts bis chance for promotion, aud the cool dash and intrepid dar ing exhibited by that splendid young trooper soon "won him his spuns." Iu rapid success. Ion followed the promotion of Lieut. Cols. Cowles, Shaw and Gains. Majors McLeod and McClammy.and numerous subalterns, acquired marked notice iu reports and otherwise. In this pleasant uud just tribute to the in fantry uud cavalry concerned, It must not be forgottcu that tho artillery did its duty also, both.tho regular and horse artillery. Of tho the latter, "McGregor's Battery of Wild Peo ple," "Tlio J'.:ed Command," specially at tached lo "Barringer's Brigade," did wonderful execution. It charged lu line with the oilier troops, and the Jolly captain himself was heard to shout ta Gregg's Cavalry, "Down wilh youi swords aud oil with your hats, or die I" A truer soldier never lived, and tho North Carolina Troops cherish au ardent feei ng and fellowship for this eccentric brother, uud udopted son of Alabama. Ho was a favorite, too, among the noble women of the Old Dominion, and after the lighting was ull over, he having returned to tho scene ot one af his greatest achievements, tho "Boisseau Farm," captured its queen beauty.

Tho railroad station at Mississippi City Is lo cated among tho pines, aud the way tho mos quitoes were biting thcro even in April was enough to keep a mule moving. After awhile wo got to talking about tho insects, and I asked a native of the country: "Are they thicker lo tho summer?" "Thicker! Why, in July there's a million to one!" "And larger?" "Larger! Why, sir, one of tho regular 'skeet ers ot this section could carry twenty ot Uieso on hit hack and still 11 y high." I thought I'd down him at once, and so con tinued: "Now, air, answer mo truthfully. Do you believe that ni of your biggest moiquilocs could kill mule If he was tii tl up out here?'' lie looked at me lu amazement for n minute, and then went to tho door and beckoned In the tuitii silting on a box and watching the horses. When the inun came In the native said: "William, you remember that air road mule of yours?" "I reckon." "in perfect health, wasn't he?" "He was." "Could run like a deer and kick liko a saw log?'1 "lie could." "And ho whs all alone In a tcn-ucro lot, William?" "He was." "And two of them mud swamp 'skeetirs got arler him one morning and run him down and killed him and devoured both hams, mid suck ed every drop of blood in his body? William, speak up?" "Stiu'iger, If they didn't llien 1 hope to be chawed lo rags!" said William, and ho said it exactly liku a man who wouldn't havu allowed lliero were two 'sk eters if ho hadn't bceu earnestly convinced of tho fact. He walked out doors, and a deep silence fell upon us two, broken only after a long interval by tho native saying: "I've alius kinder suspected that them two 'skeeters had assistance from a ho-srly, hut I can't prove It. I kinder tliink the hossfly held him down till the murder was committed !" MATRIMONY. Iu tlio Spring-timis of life wc are all nil to think tliat lovo is tlio most Kitcit'il uf lit iwou's jrjftw, ami that matrimony may still u u means of g'f.'ico when it is an unhappy as was the marriage of that pair on whoso tumbslono appreciative neighbors sculp' ni'fil for epitaph "Their war fire is over 1" It is nowadays the fashion lo iliseuss matrimony as a means of livelihood. Wc are all of us the constant subject of illusions in this respect. Wo foi'i'i'l, our disappoint ments and dissemble our misery. Nature intends us to found a limine, wherein lo rear those who arc to take our place alter our own lile-work is completed. And this lar.k requires lon years of u.i;-ellisli t il" n I li'.iin which many would shrink, 1. ad not nature surrounded it with the mo. t elaborate net work of illusions.

Tho touch of the waxen, dimpled finders of the babe draws from every fibre of the mother's beini; a music sweeter than any carthlv strain. At the bed of a sick child the most Irivolous mother become lervid iu ner tlevouon. unsung aside llicj bracelets trom her wrists, and the tiara from her brow, she passes with out a thought of reluctance itro the mere nurse. All the while, father and mother and child alike, seen without the glamour ot love, by the calm eyes ol by standers, are of very ordinary mould. They are probably as "home ly as sin;" hut each by-stander sus pects that in his own homo he owes something to the same glamour, and is therefore indulgent to the common illusion. When using tho word ''mari'i-tge," let il be understood that il relates to a union of ihe alVeclions.

Taylor, the poet printer ; "1 erhaps there is no department of enterprfto whose details are. less un derstood by intelligent people than the "art preservative," the achieve-, ment of type. Every day their life hfiig, they are accustomed to read tho newspaper, and find fault with its statements, its arrangements, its looks; to plume themselves upon tho discov ery of some roguish ami acrobatic type that gels into a frolic and stands upon its hend, or of some waste letter or two in it but of the process by which the newsspapcr is made, of tho myriad mo tions and tho thousands of pieces nec essary to its composition, they know litllo and think less. They imagine they discourse of a wonder, indeed, when they speak of tho fair, whito carpet, wovenjfor thought to walk on, of the rags that fluttered on the back of the beggar yesterday. Ibit there is something more won derlul still when wo look at tho bun dled and fifty-two little boxes, some what shaded with the touch of inky fingers, that composo tho printer's "case" noiseless, except tho clicking of the type, as one by one they take their places iu the growing line we think we have found the marvel of the art. We think how many fancies in fragments there are in the boxes, how many atoms of poetry and clocpienco tho printer can make here and there, if ho had only a litttle chart to work by; how many facts in a little "hand ful," how much truth in chaos. Now he picks up Iho scattered ele ments, until he holds in his hand a stanza of "( i ray's Klegy," or a mono dy upon Grimes' "All Hallooed up lie fore." Now ho sets ''I'uppy Miss ing," and now "Paradise Lost," he arrays a bride in "small caps," and a sonnet in nonpareil;" he announces the languishing 'live" in one sentence transposes tho word and deplores the days that are few and "evil," in the next. A poor jest ticks its way slow ly into the printer's hand, just like a clock running down, and a strain of eloquence marches into the line, letter by letter. re fancy wo can tell the dilVcrence by hearing by the car, but perhaps not. The type that told a wedding yesterday, announces a burial lo morrow perhaps in the same letters. They are the elements to make a world of. These types are a world, with something iu it as beautiful spring as rich as suinmer,and as grand as au tumn flowers, that the frost, cannot, wilt fruit that shall ripen for ull time. The newspaper lias become the log book of the age. It tells at what rale the world is running we cannot lind our reckoning wiihoiit it. True, th-'-green grocer may bundle no a pound of candles in our lost expressed thoughts, but il is only emuing to base ii-ios something thai, is done times innumerable. We console onrselvci by thinking that one can make of tha'., newspaper what, he cannot make of live oak a bridge for time that we can lling over the chasm of years and walk back upon the shad iwy sa inlo the far past.

We know of many well-to-do farmers, men who have well stocked farms, who do not slaughter a sheep (luring a- twelve month, yet who kill a jug every month in tho summer season, ami in tho fill 'put down' pork enough to last every mouth during the year. This is a nation ot nienl eniers, but it confine itself loo exclusively to pork and beef. Ill is better to sand wich in a little more mutton.
