If Westervelt can bo Westerveit forced to clear up the mytery what ever the fate of the boy, jit will be a relief.

Louis G. Young, of Gen. Pettigrew's staff, to, Ma j. W: J. Baker, of the same brigade, and is a complete -vint dication i of : the noble Pettigrew's memory; and of the courage of the men under him. It is. our pleasure to d the, Landmark the justice of copying nearly its 'whole eloquect article accompanying the letter of Capt. Young. We qiiote from the Landmark': , . ! . ; We have just said the. North Car4 olinians under Pettigrew require no vindication, and this was the remark we made to onr friend, Major Bakerj on receiving his letter, but w4 are glad that he wrote it, as we told him, from a selfish consideration. He has enabled , us to express ; some part of our: unaffected' regard for the jOli) North State, and to publish a docu ment of great historical value under circumstances' which will" challenge for it more than ordinary respect'and consideration. But' to return to bur, facts: Heth's Division was composed of his own brigade of Virginians, Colonel Brockenborough, Archer's brigade of Tennesseeans, ; Davis's brigade of Mississippians, and Pet tigrewV, Brigade -ot; North . Carp linians. It is of the latter that jour friend and corfespondent speaks, and snrely no meniwho ever trod a battle field 44 to look (proudly to heaven from the .death-bed' of fame" ever won a more immortal page in history than this Brigade did in the- Arniy pof Northern Virginia. Its splendid story at Gettysburg is told in the History elsewhere printed in, one luminous sentence which speaks with a simple eloquence! that shames the pomp of any' rhetoric:. On the morning of the 1 it of July it numbered 2,800 to 3,000, on the 4fA 835." We need not elaborate these proud but mournful .figures which blaze on the crest of the Old North State . a consuming fire against all who - could; by possibility - dare to defame ; thej heroic Pettigrew or his heroic men ;but in truth, there are none such in Vir ginia.

As an instance in point, a few days ago a man borrowed an ox to perform cer tain labor, but the ox became unmanageable and gored the poor fellow to death. The friends of the unfortunate man became very much exasperated and, under the direction of their leader, demanded of the Owner his ox that they might stone him , to death, in accordance with a law of Moses written in 21st chapter of Exodus, 28th verse. JTbey were refused the ox; but, determined upon their sinful course, collected a crowd of men, women and children and proceeded to the stable, took the poor creature from the lot and with stones tortured him to death, after which they cut bis flesh to pieces and cast it away, believing they were doing God a service. 1 1 Gen.
