We have a great respect for the Chit'f .lustice, per-

The qtiestion is becoming seriously entertained,
whether Western North (,’arolina can possibly spare any
more men for the army, without entailing extreme suf

We regret to see articles like (his in the Press and
other papers in the State. The fact is admitted that
neither Western North Carolina nor any other sec
tion of the State can spare more men without extreme
suffering and privation. But that would be as a drop
'n the oc*an compared with the suffering and privation,
yea. and disgrace too, that all would endure for genera
tions to come if by any failure to supply men the war
should be brought to a disastrous en'l. Better to live
for a year or two longer upon half rations, and dressed
in Old ca5t-otf clothes, and that the wives and mothers
should have to drudge over work to which they were
never before accustomed, than that the detested yankeee

b,7 Treasurer Worth, whose report, wiin the single ex

the high financial ability which bo admirably qualifies

If the three last questions way not he answered in

Pennsylvania and Baltimore- and Harrisburg have not
deserved such a fate.
Refi 9EU TO ue 1’aroled.—It will be observed that
the yankee prisoners captured by Gen. Lee refused to
be paroled, and were therefore on the inarch to Rich
mond. The reason for this may be that they hoped,
being so many, to escape, or to be recaptured; or, that
they did not care to be exchanged and put back into the
army to go through such another scene of carnage.
The Legislature has very promptly, and very well,
accomplished its purposes and adjourned. We copy the
two leading and important acts, relating lo the currency
and (he militia.

Thursday and Friday. A corre
York Times, writing from the battle
burg, thus describes the battle of Thursday:
On Thursday morning there were strong premonitions
of an early engagement with the enemy in force, but
the day wore away and no positive exhibition was
made by (he enemy.
At .“J o’clock, Gen. Meade had received sufficient
assurances to justify Jiim in the belief that the rebels
were concenfraling their forces on our left flank, which
all felt (o be secure under (he prot.edion of the invinci
ble Third corps. Our line was ifnmediately strength
ened on that flank. Gen. Sickles’ c,orps being sent lo its
support, and several batteries from the reserve being
brought out and placed in position.
At 4+ p. m , the enemy sent bis first compliment.s by
a salvo of artillery, his first shells falling uncomforta
bly near Gen Meade’s headjuarters. From this hour
forth to o’clock, occurred by all odds the most san
guinary engagement yet chronicled iu (he annals of the
war, considering its short duration. The artillery at
tack which was made by the enemy on th;* left and cen
tre, was rapidly followed by Ihe advance of his infant
ry. The Third corps received the aUac’:: with great

On Sunday there seems to have been a great and clos
ing battle, of which we hear;
“Martinsbubo, July 6.—Reports to-day all concur
that there was a heavy fight yesterday, in which we de
feated the enemy and drove him three miles A vast
num’'or of prisoners are reported taken by Gen. Lee.
The prisoners refuse to be paroled, and are on the way
to Richmond by this place. This has Deen the bloodiest
battle of the war. Our loss very great—the enemy’s
immense.”

more glorious and complete, are in preceding page.

The battle now became •perfectly fearful. The armiet;
engaged each other at very short range, an 1 f»r 3 long
hours the war of musketry was incessant. I have heard
more noise, louder crashes, in other battles, but I never
or heard of such desperate, tenacious fighting .as
took place on this flank. The enemy wmild often bring
up suddenly a heavy column of nien, and force our line
ac , only to be in turn forced back by our own line of
g 1 ering steel. The dispositions of the enetny were
very rapid for look wb„ ^

struck in the right leg by a piece of shell, and borne
from the field. The injury was so great that amputa
tion became necessary, and it was performed success
fully—the limb being taken off below the knee.
The struggle grew hotter and hotter. The Secofid
corps was called on for aid,, and though its own posi
tion was strongly threatened, yet the First division,
formerly Gen. Hancock’s, fiung themselves into the fight
with desperation, and after a long and obstinate con
flict, the enemy slowly and sullenly gave way. . The re
bels made frequent attempts to capture our artillery,
and at one time had Watson’s bsttery in their posses
sion, but it was retaken in a fur'ious charge by Birney’s
division.
The battle lasted till fully Sh o’clock, when the enemy
fell back to his old position, an ? left our veterans the
ensaguined victors of that field. Our pickets were thrown
out, and our lines covered roo.at of the fi'^ld. including a
great number of the enemy’s d-»ad iinil wounded.
I visited some portions of the line by moonlight, and
can bear personal witness to the terrible ferocity of
the battle. Iu front of Gen. Webb’s was f iund the body
of Gen. Barksdale, that once hiughtj/ and violent rebel,
who crai'gd at a dying boon a cup of vater and a stretcher
from an ambulance boy. He is literally cin to pieces
and must die.
A great aud magnificent feature of this fight is the
splendil use of artillery. Though our line of battle
was only a mile and a half long, yet almoet every bat
tery belong’ug to the army of the Potomac was more or
less engaged. Every one of the reserve batteries was
brought into action, the positions for use being numer
ous. The enemy also used artillery but not to near so
great an extent as we did '
The Battle of Friday.,—On the next (Frid.ay) morning,
Ihe battle was renewed, and was still going on up to the
date of our latest advices from the North A dispatch
dated at Gettysburg on Fril.iy, the od, pays:
Thethinl day’s hatile began this morning at 4 o’clock.
It is now 7 o’clock, and a circle of fire of musketry and
artillery on the south side of Geitysburu describes the
field of contest. The musketry fisrht is wholly within
the woods; the artillery occupies the eminence shorn of
timber.
The attack was comuienced by he rebels on our right.
The fight there has been'unceasing, and the irregularity'
of the tire—slack and scattering for awhile, and ihen
heavy and continuous—indicates reinforcoHienis of both
sides.
The men at this hour are in the best of spiriis, and
the general officers fi-el confulent of the r.-sult. The
