Senator-elect Petted and Congressman-elect Simpson, of Kansas, at tended the meeting ofj the Maryland Farmers' State Alliance a few days ago, at which ;both made speeches in which they declared? that the third party was virtually a fixed fact and that it would have j a Presidential ticket m the field atj the next elec tion. ; i There is nothing Surprising in it that both of these gentlemen should be strong advocates 6f a third party, for it was by the third party move ment in their; State that they were elected to the seats' in the Senate and House. It is natural under the circumstances; that they should de sire the Alliance in politics to be- ! i come a permanent thing and to spread all oyer the country, tor unless it does spread all over the country it will die out in Kansas, and that would cut short the politi cal career of Messrs. Peffer and Simpson. There may be some self ishness, and probably is, in their de sire for a national -"third party, but allowing that: there; is not, but that they and those who-are co-operating with them are acting in good faith and are really inspired by a desire to promote the prosperity of the farmers whose cause they advocate, it might be a$ked whether they and the men who: are acting with them display good judgment in the course they are pursuing. ' In politics, as in every thing else, a man ought to look before he leaps, and those who aspire to lead, should not only look; but should study the situation, not from'a mere one-sided and one-eyed hstandp"bint, but from a practical, sober, common sense, broad view standpoint. They should be governed neither by impulse nor prejudice, but by jcool, passionless reason, by the sagacity that is con tent with making slow progress and gaining a little at i time, rather than by the impulsive folly that stretches out to grasp everything at once and thereby runs the risk of losing all. There are now two parties in this country contending for supremacy, as they have been doing for thirty years. One of these parties has had, wholly or in part, control of the gov ernment and j its administration for all of that time. -This is the Repub lican party, which is directly respon sible for nine-tenths of the ills aris ing from legislation, of which the class : whom Messrs. Pef fer and Simpson represent, justly complain, j It was in protest against the pjarty; and the policy it advocates that the Alliance move ment in politics j took shape. This was the party it fought at the polls in Kansas and in some other States, and over whichjit triumphed with the sympathy and friendly aid of the Democrats. That party is avowedly and uncompromisingly hostile to the Alliance because there is an ir reconcilable conflict between them If the Republican party triumphs and lives, the Alliance as a polit ical power must go to the wall. The only hope for the final success of any of the public measures on which it has set its heart is in the complete overthrow of that party. With the Democratic party the Al liance has or should have no war. It is not responsible for one single grievance of which the farmers of this country complain, but on the contrary has battled for a generation in defence of the people, to protect them from oppression, while Messrs. Peffer and Simpson and thousands of other men who are now with them were voting to sustain the Republi can party and to put upon them selves the burdens which finally crushed them and made them wretched. The Democratic party didn't build up the great railroad monopolies, of which they complain. Tt- HiHn't- rnnrnrt and lniDOSe UDOn the country the iniquitous, plunder ing tariff system, of which they com plain. It didn't establish the national bank system, of which they com plain. It didn't originate the policy ol contracting the volume of currency of which they complain. It didn't bring the gold dollar to the front and send the silver dollar to the rear, of which they complain. It didn't vote away a magnificent empire of the public domain to rail road corporations, of which they complain. It didn't adopt a system of legis lation which discriminated against the poor in favor of the rich, o which they complain. It didn't turn the United States Senate into a congregation of money bags and attorneys of rich corpora tions, of which they complain. It didn't do any of these things and others, of which the far mers of the country complain, but battled consistently, persistently and heroically against them, and to-day it is contending for principles which if victorious will relieve the farmers from many of the burdens that have weighed them down. Is it good judgment or good poli tics in the Alliance leaders to refuse to co-operate with a party like this, as powerful as this, against a com mon foe, and undertake by indepen dent and separate action to over come not only the avowed foe but this party as well, which is honestly, bravely endeavoring to redress the grievances of which the farmers and other toilers of the land complain ? The man who is in distress, who seeks relief, and refuses the hand which is extended to relieve him, and is strong enough to do so, but in stead attacks the friend who comes to his rescue who was his friend and stood by him when he didn't know his danger or stand by himself, ought to have a guardian appointed to take care of him. MINOR MENTION. A Keokuk. Iowa, correspondent of the New York World gives his ver son of what became of tne letter which Mr. Henry Watterson wrote to Gov. Hill, which Gov. Hill said he never saw. According to this writer when Mr. Watterson visited that town early in January to de liver his lecture on "Money and Morals" he met with a cordial recep tion, the Democrats and prominent citizens generally, showing him much attention. Much attention out in that latitude implies more or less mellowing liquids. After one of the social gatherings in which every one felt good, conversation turned on the political outlook and the faction al fight in New York. Then Mr. Watterson stated that he had writ ten a letter to Gov. Hill with the hoDe of closing up the breach, but that after writing it he had some doubts as to the advisability of sending it, and to solve his doubts sent it to Mr. Cleveland, asking his opinion. Mr. Cleveland held it for about two weeks when he replied advising Mr. Watterson not to send it, and he without more ado or thought threw it into the waste basket, from which, the correspondent says, it was either fished out, or a copy surreptitiously made, while in the possession of Mr. Cleveland, and afterwards publish ed. He endeavors to strengthen his version by calling attention to the fact that while Mr. Watterson stated in the letter he afterwards wrote that he wrote the letter, he has never said he sent it. But this don't tally with Mr. Watterson's statement who says in .that letter that he gave the Hill letter out for publication to set at rest many idle and unfounded rumors about it. There is only one thing which is definitely settled about that letter and that is that it got lost somewhere between Mr. Watterson and Gov. Hill. There are features in the indus trial problem affecting the farmer with which legislation has little to do, and which it would be well for the farmer to study. Not unfrequent ly the adversity of one farmer is the result of the competition of another. Competition with the wheat fields of the West has compelled many farm ers in the East to abandon wheat culture, and depend upon fruit, veg etables, milk, butter, cheese, eggs, &c. Sometimes the trouble comes from other sources of competition, as is shown in the annual report of the New Jersey State Board of Ag riculture, where it is shown that the annual exports of butter a few years ago amounting to $7,000,000 have been cut down to $2,000,000 in consequence of the introduction into the trade of oleomargarine, and other imitations of butter. The exports of cheese have also fallen off in pro portion, while the production of cheap lards out west has destroyed the demand for the pure lard the farmers had been making. Practi cally the daity business in that State, once a flourishing one, has been killed by another American industry, and wheat growing has been killed by the competition of Western wheat growers. New Jersey farmers must abandon these and depend upon fruits, vegetables, poultry, eggs, etc. The farmers of the country as a mass have not only to contend against discriminating legislation, but the farmers of some sections have to contend against the crushing com petition of farmers of other sections. Some of the Republican organs are making merry over the contem plated embarrassment of the next Democratic Congress in providing for the necessary expenses of the Government and for the big defi ciency which is sure to come. It seems to afiord them intense delight to think that the Republican Con gress looted the treasury, cleaned it out, piled up the appropriations a billion high, making a many-million deficit inevitable, without a dollar in sight to meet it, thus throwing upon its Democratic successor the necessity of voting large sums as they did -or cutting down the appropriations, in the first event laying itself liable to the charge of extravagance, in the second laising a howl among those now benefiitted by the appropria tions secured. The contemplation of a predicament of this kind for the Democratic Congress they enjoy with a keen relish, the only regret they have being that they didn't make it forty or fifty millions more to make the task more difficult for the Democratic Congress. May be this isn't running partisanship into the ground. STATE TOPICS. The Governor of Georgia has called a convention to be held, at Atlanta, we suppose, Mav Gth, to arrange for Georgia's exhibit at the World's Fair. This is a good idea and should be acted on by the Governors of the other Southern States. North Carolina has made an appropriation for that purpose and there should be some general understanding between the people of the respective sections of the State as to the most effective way to spend that money in con junction with the counties, munici palities, corporations and individuals making exhibits, and who will each contribute more or or less money separate and apart from what the State appropriates. By an inter change of sentiment and concert of action a much more attractive and impressive exhibit may be arranged, and costing less money, than would result from individual and independ ent action. Concert of action will give greater variety, less duplicating, and a more perfect and symmetrical display than can be secured without it. BOOK NOTICES.

A MATTER OF HISTORY. Iverson's North Carolina Brigade at the Cattle of Gettysburg. The February number of the North American Review contains the first instalment of a series ot papers from Federal corps commanders who led in the battle at Gettysburg. In announcing the publication the editor says: "Thus does the Re view make history," and claims "pe culiar and unrivalled authoritative ness." The articles in the number are from Gens. Doubleday, Howard and Slocum. Gen. Doubleday, in des cribing the battle of the first day says: "A combined attack 'was now made by Hill's and E well's forces against the Union lines, but as regards the First Corps, it was handsomely re pulsed, and almost an entire brigade that of Iverson was captured by Gen. Jno. C. Robinson's division on the right." This statement is incorrect. Iver son's brigade, the Fifth, Twelfth, Twentieth and Twenty-third North Carolina regiments, suffered severe ly in killed and wounded on that day, but its loss in prisoners was not more than 10 per cent, of the whole. The mistake may have arisen from the fact that Iverson s connection with the brigade ceased with the battle ot Gettysburg. He was removed, and Col. Robt. D. Johnston, of the Twenty-third North Carolina, was then appointed to the command and the brigade was thenceforth known a? R. D. Johnston's brigade. Iver son, through whose blunder the brigade suffered so severely, was permitted to retire to private life. He was a Georgian, had been an oid army officer and succeeded Gen. Garland (who was killed at the battle of South Mountain in 1862) in com mand of the brigade, which was then in D. H. Hill's division of, Jackson's corps. Iverson, when iri-the U. S. army had been stationed at Carlisle, Pa., and for this reason when Rodes reached that place, Iverson was placed in command of the town. The Fifth N. C. regiment was sent to picket the Harrisburg turnpike,about three miles beyond Carlisle, and probably advanced farther north than any other infantry command ;n the Southern army. Rodes' division leached Gettys burg from Carlisle about mid-day on the 1st of July, 1863, halting and forming line of battle some two or three miles from the town. Artillery came to the front and after a round or two of shells fired at the Federal troops and bat teries, the division moved forward a few hundred yards and halted all the brigades except Iverson's, which having received no command to halt, pressed steadily forward across an open field, and was soon hotly en gaged with a large body of Federal infantry posted behind a stone wall, and at the same time was subjected to a severe enfilade fire from a bat tery of artillery and a swarm of cavalry on its flank. The brigade held its ground unflinchingly and returned the fire of the enemy with vigor, although it's men fell under the withering fire like "leaves of the forest that winter had strewn." Capt. Ben Robinson, of the Fifth regiment, commanding skirmishers, assembled his men on the left flank to fight the cavalry, and seeing how sorely the brigade was pressed, went back to O'Neal's Alabama brigade for assistance; but O'Neal said that he could not move without orders. Robinson then met Gen. Ramseur, and explaining the situation to him, Ramseur at once put his brigade ir motion, and at the same time Daniel's North Carolina brigade was sent in on Iverson's right. By this time a pall of battle-smoke, like "the shadow of death," had settled over the brigade. So many of the men had fallen that its fire slackened, and emboldened by this the Federal troops facing a portion of the line sprang over the stonewall and came down upon them with the bayonet, took a few prisoners and bayonetted some of the wounded. Private Goodman, of Co. A, Fifth regiment, had five bayonet wounds on his body, all of which he receivedas he told the writer of this in his dying moments after i he had been shot down and was lying helpless on the ground. But Ramseur and Daniels' North Carolinians coming to the aid of the sorely beset brigade, the Fed eral troops were routed from their position and driven through the town with great loss. That night and the next day Iver son's brigade was inline of battle in the streets of Gettysburg. As stated, the brigade suffered terribly particularly the Fifth regi ment, which had fully three-fourths of its number killed and wounded in the first day's fight but it took its part in the second and third day's battle with the other brigades of the division. After the engagement the Fifth regiment, numbering less than a hundred men, was detailed to as sist the cavalry in guarding the wagon train back to the Potomac, and dealt some staggering blows to Kilpatrick's men at Hagerstown and Williamsport. In thirty to sixty days after Get tysburg, most of the wounded had recovered and returned to their places in the ranks, and the brigade was up to its average strength when in October, 1863, Gen. Lee made his flank movement on Meade's army. So strong was it in numbers that it was left to cover the movement and hold and picket all the fords along the Rapidan from Germana up. Af ter the movement was fully develop ed, the brigade crossed the Rapidan with Fitz Lee s cavalry, drove Stone man's cavalry across the Rappahan nock, and the next day joined its di vision on the march. When the campaign of 1864 opened, and the Northern and South ern armies met in a death-grapple in the Wilderness, this brigade (R. D. Johnston's) was on the extreme left of Lee's. line, and late in the after noon of the Gth of May, with Gor aon s ueorgia Dngaae, made an as sault on Grant's right flank, captured over a mile of the enemy's breast works, many prisoners and about 5,000 stand of arms gathered from the field the next day. The Federal Generals Shaler and Sevmour were captured in this assault; Shaler sur rendering his sword a handsome gold-mounted bejewelled affair to Lieut. West of the Fifth regiment. A few day later on the 9th of May the brigade, assisted by Fitz Lee's cavalry (dismounted) held Burn side's corps in check at Spotsylvania C. H. for several hours, and until A. r. Hill s corps arrived and got into position. The next day the 10th of May--the brigade in re- 1 . t r serve late in tne aiternoon was thrown at the double-quick across the front of a column of Federal in fantry that had broken through Daniel's and Doles' brigades, drove them back and recaptured the works and guns in gallant style. Two days afterwards, in the early morning of the lth of May, this brigade, still in reserve, was the first sent in to stay the tide of the enemy that had swept over and captured nearlyjall of Johnson's division. Here again the Fifth regiment suffered severely. Its brave colonel, Garrett, was killed, his adjutant, Lieut. Smedes, was slain at his side, the gallant Capt. Jake Brookfield of Newtern, Lieut. Charlie Riddick of Gates county, and others whose names cannot now be recalled, were among the killed that morning. But the enemy was checked in his advance, and after a desperate battle lasting until mid-r day, with great slaughter on both sides, the Confederate lines were re established. 1 might mention other engage ments in that campaign, and the cam paign with Gen. Early to the city of Washington, and in the Valley of VrVginia, in which R. D. Johnston's brigade bore a conspicuous part, and was "fought to a frazzle;" but the above is sufficient to show that the "greater part" of it could not have been captured on the first day at Gettysburg, as stated by Gen. Doubleday. H. H. S.
