As soon a it was dark, I threw McGnwan'a brigade, under j Colonel, afterwards General I'errin. and Thomas' brigade, fiom my riulit into the j road iKTCupied by the sharpnhooti rs of our . division, that I might prevent Kwell's right I from la-ing tunied ; but for reason tin- known to me, the attack was not made, at j least by the right of Ewell's line. Next j morning Gen. I.ee appeared in Iront ot my line, rcconnoitered the enemy's position, j and, when he was about to leave, lie re- I marked that "he needed more troops on j the right, but thnt he did not know where I they were to come from." Soon after 1 was ordered to leave Thomas and Perrin to hold the road they were occupying, and to move my own brigade and Scales' to the right, and report to Gcu. Longstrit-t lor further orders. Gen. Longstn-et ordered me to form in the rear ot the right ot Hill's division, then commanded by the lameuted Pettigrew this division waa on the left of "ickett. Alter I had taken tins posilion Major General Trimble, who had joined the army from the Valley of Virginia, re lieved me of the command of Pender's di vision. My position was such as to pre vent mv seeing the first movements of the front line - there la-ing a narrow strip of iuleiveniug wuoiU.;.but General. Thomas who could we from his position in the road everything that was going on, on the left. Informed me, the next (lay, Hint lrockeii brotigh's brigade, which was un the left of Heth a Uivialou, did -nut advance lurtlier than the road; and that Pavts. brigade,. which was next to it, pifshcd lorward in ad vance of the general line, with too much impetuosity, and was driven back. The remaining brigades of Heth's divis ion wete Petligrtw's -and Asrehur'a ; .but it w ill be rememliered that the greater part of Archer's brigade and General Archer himself were captured iu the first day's fight. When General Trimble ordered us forward we ad vanced and took position on the left of the I troops that were fighting, aud when tin- 1 right of my brigade was within a short .Ii- I tanceof the stone fence that was used by the encmv for a breastwork my brigade was I now the extreme left of the alias-king lore one of General Loogstreet's staff ollicers- came dashing through a hot fire w - it. It orders from General Longstreet to move my com mand rapidly to the loft, as the enemy had thrown out a flanking force in that dnec tion, which was already pouring a destine-1 live fire into ua I hi ouleriug Col. Avery, ol the thirty third North Carolina regiment, which was the left ot my command, to luce the lelt for the purpose of meeting this flunking column of tlm enemy, he replied: "My God I General, do you intend rushing your men into such a place unsupported, mid when the troops on the right are lulling back (" Seeing Unit il was useless to aucrilice so many brave men, I ordered my command hack, and in accordance with orders from General Trimble, who was leaving tlio fluid wounded, I reformed in the rear ot the artil lery. I know too well what, it ia to bu a soldier to wish to do injustice to auy command, and I regret to sec that the historians from my native State are so very partial to Pickett's division. In the many published accounts o the third day's tight at Gettysburg, not an allusion haa ever been made, that I am aware ot, to my brigade and Scales'; and now that Mr. McCalie puts lor III his book as history and makes no mention of us, 1 think that it is my duty to inform the pub lic that Lane's North Carolina brigade was there, that it fought on the extreme left of Longatreel's line, that il remained on the Held as long as any other portion of the line, and that il displayed the same bravery that II did at Spottsyivania court house on the I'Jlh, of May, which calls forth such a com plimentary notice from General Early in his report id that buttle ; aud afterwards at Ream's Station, when General I.ee told nu ll nit "North Carolina had cause to I proud of such troops." General Ie'a remark in Iront ol my line on themiorning of the Bd. ol July, points, I think, to the true cause ol our failure iu that aTtVtiHHin assault. Jam i.s II. Lam:. An KlTINOl'lKHKH.

The adininistra ttoa ia ia daily receipt of cori-exiM-mlence from leading men of the South, giving as aurauce that the great body of the South em people are determined to organize under the reconstruction laws recently pa-u-ed, and the nuly disturbing elements in the South are the imported politicians Irom the North, who are making every effort to bring alioiit discord la-twecn the white and colored M-ople. A lelur just received from a prominent citizen ol toe North, now making a tour ol the South, is particularly instructive iu this regard. The writer says tliat the only tur bulent spirit are Northern men, who appear lo v in the interests of the Hadicals of the East. He declares that the removal of civil ollicers by Gen.
