LONG. Cuablottesville, March 15, '87. To the Editor of the Wilmington Star: " Dear Sib. 1 am glad of, the op portunity afforded me by tho articles contained 'in the Stab of the 11th and 13th of March, to explain what appeara an injustice done by vrae in my account of the third day's battle at UettysDurg, to ine irwupo mai. supported theattaokof Pickett's di vision on Cemetery Hill. As my memoirs of General Lee was in tended simply as a biography, I was obliged by the lack of space to omit much important detail, that properly belongs to the history of the war. j I offer this as an apology for failing to give- the troops, that supported that attack; the prominence they de ' 8rv6 I Since Pickett's charge is of such world-wide renown, I might have given more space to the . part per formed by the supporting columns, so gallantly led by Trimble, Petti srew and Wilcox. As I well know a "soldier's pride, I would not willingly i ; , . , . v .1 j tl detract from his iiustly acquired honor; therefore, in the next edition of my work I will endeavor to make amends for what I omitted in its first publication. I am also glad of. an opportunity to testify to the soldierly conduct of the N. C. troons that performed bo prominent a part of thejl armv of Northern Vircinia. From the! Chickahominy to Gettysburg, and thnno.n tn Annnmatt.ox. 1 witnessed ! with admiration their patient endu rance of hardships in camp; and on the march, and their distinguished gallantry in battle. i) , The men led by Kanseur, Daniels, J Pettigrew, the .Ransoms, Scales and ' Lane furnish a record that would fill volumes, every page of which would sparkle with deeds that might justly swell a soldier's heart with pride. The old North State may be justly proud of her gallant sons. ij ' In conclusion, I will say, in the grand old " army of Northern Vir ginia I observed no State lines. The troops from the different States com posing that army were equally- dis tinguished for valor and patriotism, ; forming that homogeneous mass of gallantry that conferred on the Army of Northern Virginia the fame it so justly merits. Very truly, AJ L. Long. A. NEW INDUSTRY. Tbe Value of tbo Pine Tree. Special Correspondence Baltimore Manu facturers' Record. jj Wilmington, N. C, February 26, 1887. The inventions that led fup to ' this enterprise have shown what values were hidden in the almost worthless fat pine.. There is in this city another company with other pat ents that have given value to the green foliage of the pine tree. When North Carolina made its famous ex position at Boston in 1883 there wis huge bale of brown fibre in its space that attracted much attention. "This is made of pine needles" was in scribed on a large placard. People handled it, inhaled its balmy odor, and then asked what it was good for. Tbe principal expectation seemed then to be that it would be adopted by the upholsterers as a cheap, elas tic and durable filling for mattrasses an4 bolsters. The inventors and manufacturers then . in the experi mental stage of what has since had an extraordinary development. The Acme Manufacturing Company has its office in this city, and its several mills and factories at Cronly, a vili lage it has organized a few miles out on the line .of the Carolina Central Railroad. The officers are Williank "Latimer, president;: Henry Savag-eL general manager; H. C. Latimer treasurer; Cronly & Morris, general agents, and A. E.'i Scott, superintend ent of the mills. The products of the leaves of the long-leaf pine (com monly called "pine needles" or "pine dtraw,") are a remarkably strong oil that possesses many .medical virtues and a strong elastic fibre called pin wool, l bis last can be bleacned,dyed of any color and woven intp any forrnl An it iinmno t rv tIia milla Afli nmiJ As it comes from the mills after rjass ing through all processes it is a fleecy brown mass, in appearance Isomer what resembling fine cut chewing tof bacco. This wool retains much 6f the pleasant odolr of the pine, but is without its pungency; that hai gone with tbe oil. There is f suffil cient, however, to give it value as a moth destroyer when used as a car4 pet lining. . It has also been found of value in surgery, having bee4 proved to be an excellent absorben Ibe company weaves this into coarse .matting for use between ca pets ana noors, ana tnus used it i said to be superior to any other li ing. A strong, cheap matting is als made for use in balls and offices in stead of a carpet, and finally there is a fine and equally Btrong carpet mad suitable for public halls, churches! tairways and offices, and for all , places where a low priced, neat and ery durable floor cover is del Aired. Tbe stairway of the Ortp "House, the floor around the billiard table of the Club, and many other places in this city where the wear and tear are great are covered with , this carpeting, and in every case its con dition is its recommendation. The! excellence of this matting and oar peting, its dnrabiTity, the Tow cost ojE the. material, and the consequent low 1 priceB at which the finished goods can , .be sold, will certainly, when th goods are introduced, create a - de- mand that will change Cronly from i the petty mill village it how is to one i of the large manufacturing towns of I ipe South . .: B. 8.

Whitaker and wifi vs. Hill, trus tee, et al. .1.1 1 Application for injunction against sale of real estate I under trust deed. The Court says if the complaint be taken as true, the plaintiff is entitled to relief by injunction: the defen dant, however, while admitting the material facts staled! in ; complaint, alleges other facts which, if true, put in question plaintiff's jright. I The matters of fact at issue are not entirely free froni doubt and im portant questions of law are raised that ought not to be decided until the action shall be tried on the merits. In such cases the injunction will be continued to the hearing, especially wheh it appears that the security will remain vx7 : i Wiley vs. Railroad Co, Easement: Held, as the presumption of a grant arises from adversary! and continuous use after twenty years, so the same period of disusa occurring after wards presumes a surrender or extinction oi encumbrance upon th ; servient land, Continuous use, as of right, fori the prescribed period is evidence of the acauirement ot an easement, inter ruptions ot the use unless wnen known.

They 'meet and agree that the claim of B 6hall be discharged by appropriating wo as is aue irom nimj to a to wnai he owes A. This agreement operates co instanti, and is a paittal payment and removes the bar of tbe Statute of Limitations.

VV bvn voar. .anonymous ' correspond deut, sdmilted to jur ditorist page, denouuew this exercise; Of sound dis cretion by . the Judge, on motion of the Solicitor, as outraging - faw, jus tice and humanity " it :is high; time tor thai Solicitor to answer over hia own. signatnre, and 'submit -to the public ;tbeV: wholei -troth what has a . " ' ' ' "'1 " . been oroittea .or-: eupprcBsea oy m ; as well aa w bat ja stated : in hia com niunicaticu.i:- . -,' J J One Richard Gibba and one Henry Dradman, both colored were tried and convicted, of the; crime of steal ing a bull, the property Of one . The evidence tended to show . that Dradmaa was asked by Gibbs to as sist in killing tbe boll and 10 remo ving it, and while he Knew it was stolen, infloenoed by Gibbs, assisted; him in taking it to his house. j 1 Without taking the precaution," as usually, do, : to enquire about tne character of the defendants I prayed judgment. -The Judge, upon his own motion - and without, a suggestion from , any quarter, discharged Drad man upon' bis own recognizance to appear at the next term of Beaufort Court and pay the -costs, remarking 'that the evidence showed him tohave been the tool of Gibbs, who was sen tenced to a term of three-years in the State prison. :-- j jj On tbe next day 1 was informed for the first - time that ' Gibbs bore the character not only of a -professional -thief, but was a dangerous aud des- lteratu man. At the same time 1 as certained that he had threatened the livfs and property of two of tbe wiintsaes for the State, and the prost-cution. . .iheso gentlemen, being men of character, stated to me that i he did not feel Bafe and: their fam lies would suffer from the apprehen sion of future danger when they heard that Gibbs bad, said, that "three years was a short time." and at the end of that time' they, should suffer. I in formed the Judge of the character of Gibbs, his threats and the fears of tbe people of his . neighborhood, and asked the Judge to reconsider his senteuce aad bear additional evidence of Gibbs' character and his threats against the Slate's witnesses; and he Mated to me that be had never re sentenced a criminal and would hot interfere with tbe judgment already passrd unless it was an extreme case. It was insisted by: me that this was an extreme case, and at ray instance Gibbs was brought back into the court room, the ee&tenoe of three years stricken out and npon proof of the foregoing , facts Gibbs was sentenced to ten years in tbe State's prison, and for this your correspondent charges the court with outraging law and humanity." If "li" is a lawyer, and I suspect he is an old one, be knows that the Judge did no violence to the law in impos ing a sentence which he evidently admits tbe Judge bad a right, in bis discretion, to impose under the sta tute. Tbe best eyidenoe that the sentence was reasonable! and just grows out of tbe fact that it met ibe approval of an able bar and an intelligent people, whose Christian culture fits them quite as well to pass upon questions of humanity as your anonymous correspondent, whose op- poii unities for understanding the facia were far better than his. ' i I have no objection to! discussing in the periodicals of the day the ques tion whether our punishments for criminal offences should be more de4 finitely fixed, or whether tho system should be radically changed: but when such intemperate, if not mali-j ciou?, expressions find their way into articles on such subjects it looks too much like an anonymous' writer had' seized the occasion to give .vent to his spleen at the Judge rather than to euggest wise and j beneficent charges in the law. j f if Judge Pearson used to say that when a young lawyer lost bis case in the court house by his own misman-j agement b9 generally resorted to the nearest bar room and cursed the judge. The more modern idea is to rush into print and criticise someone of tbe hundreds of decisions that the judge renders. W hope a Sawyer the judge who if "H? is I" sentenced Gibbs has never made him itch, if he has ranch idle vaporings might have been produced over his wine, but it id unpardonable to cover a feel ing of resentment or revenge . under the specious cloak of a humani tarian and a reformer. 1 1 trust that his name, if published, 'would show that there is no ground to bnspecthis motives.' The Judge who imposed this sentence ' has been Repeatedly complimented by solicitors and mem bers of the bar throughout the State as having the happy faculty of dis criminating nicely, fairly .and hu manely in imposing sentences. He has been especially honorably no ticed by papers published by the col ored people and their correspondents for administering justice without re gard to raoe or previous j condition. You "bite a file" when you attack Judge Avery under a mask, Mr.H." The women and children whose lives and homes are protected by this sen tence thank Judge' Avery that they feel secure while Dick is enjoying abundant' "cooling time,"j and good men everywhere will approve of the conduct of a Judge who knows how to give the innocent rest and security by making examples of the guilty. When a man is shown to be an ha bitual rogue and desperate and dan gerous and it further ' appears that he has threatened to kill.a witness for the elate, the officers who arrested him and the owners of stolen oroner- ty who prosecuted him and to burn their houses or destroy their property "H" may consider such threats as "idle vaporings" or "innocent grum bling," but no Jud ere who has a inst idea of what is : due- society can or ever will concur with him, and I shall never fail to insist upon just such a sentence in any Bimilar case that may arise in the future, notwithstanding iu ioiiy or Bjiieen oi "ti.".- , .v -i - Yours, very respectfully, ' ; "J.
