2 BOOK OF REVELATIONS NORTH CAROLINA AT LAST GETS DI T E RECOGNITION FOR HEROISM IN WAR. OFFICIALLY PROCLAIMED FIRST. Forty-Nine Volumes of the War Re cords Office Contain Accurate Data Which the World Will Accept— These Ei haustive Compilations Show That North Carolina In Heroic Valor as Well as in Number Killed and Wounded “Gead All the Rest.” Special to the News and Observer. Washington, D. 0., May 29.—A quarter of a century passed before the people of North Carolina, modest and shrinking.. in their matchless heroism, knew how much her sons con tributed to the glory of the Southern cause. Most of the great officers cijme from other States, but it was North Car olina bravery that stood the shot and shell of the enemy, and yet, until the past few years, the Tar Heels themselves did not know how far they surpassed all their sister Southern States. I have been intending to examine the official records in the War Record office here to furnish your readers with the facts. But while delaying for “a more convenient season” to secure the data, the New York Times, always accurate and fair (and I may add, of late, always enterprising) has given its readers the facts in much better shape than I could have hoped to do. The following article, in a recent issue of the Times will be read wherever the English language is spoken, and it will tell a story that will give to North Carolina the first place in American history: North Carolina and the Civil War. “Though but little has been printed concerning the work of the War Records Office of the War Department, yet this has been a tremendous task. Forty-nine volumes of nearly a thousand pages each, are completed, and furnish the most accurate history ever published of a nation's internecine war. The work has been impartially done. Besides the five Union officers employed, two Confed erate General officers have always been Engaged in editing the war archives of the dead Confederacy. “The most interesting feature of the work is an exhaustive compilation from official records of the casualties on both sides in the war. Here are facts, not opinions. It will be made plain, beyond all room for controversy, in this volume, that much of the hardest fighting of the war was between the army of the Poto mac and the Army of Northern Virginia, and the figures in this volume will show that the infantry regiments from the Eastern States did the hardest fighting in the Union Army. They also prove that the Confederacy succumbed by the exhaustion of Lee’s army. “The table of death and wounds tha) are given measure the actual fighting as nothing else can. One thing clearly shown is the overshadowing importance of the battles of Gettysburg and Chicka mauga, the greatest battles the Con federate and Union armies ever fought. The losses in these engagements prove how much fiercer was~ the fighting in these battles than it was before or ever was again between the two armies engaged during the war. “The heroic valor of the North Caroli na troops excites the highest admiration, and Pennsylvania, which lost more m killed and wounded, in proportion to the number of its troops, than any Northern State, can well send greeting to North Carolina, whose soldiers at Gettysburg did the hardest fighting on the other side, over the happy reunion of the present year. “This is the book of revelations as to both sides of the civil war. On the Con federate side North Carolina lost more soldiers killed than any other Southern State. The following was the total loss in killed and mortally wounded of sev eral of the Southern States; North Caro lina, 14,522; Virginia, 5,328; South Car olina, 9,187; Georgia, 5,553; Mississippi, 5,807; Louisiana, 9,714. North Carolina heads the list in the number that died of wounds and 20,602 of her sons died of disease. North Carolina’s military population in 1861 was IIP, 369, but she furnished 125,000 to the Confederate cause. The percentage of lost, killed and wounded was greater in the Confederate armies than in the Union armies. At Gettysburg the 26th North Carolina, of Pettigrew’s brigade, went into action with over 800 men and lost 558 in killed and wounded. The 26th North Carolina had only 216 men left for duty when it went into Long street's assault on the third day, and on the following day but eighty were left. On the first day Capt. Tuttle’s company went into action with three officers and eighty-four men. All of the officers and 83 of the men were killed or wounded. On the same day Company C, of the 11th North Carolina, lost two officers, and 34 out of 38 men killed or wounded. Captain Bird, of this company, and the four* remaining men theu went into what is called Pickett’s Charge. The Hag bearer was shot, and Capt. Bird brought out the flag himself. This was the severest regimental loss during the war. The percentage of the regimental, brigade and division losses of the Con- AGAINST FREE SILVER. The New York Chamber ol Commerce Join* in the Crusade. Nkw York, May 28. —The Chamber of Commerce of the city of New York have decided to enter upon a crusade against silver coinage. Their announced intention is to make at once a definite issue between cheap money and sound mom y and lay all other questions aside, calling upon every friend of sound cur rency to enlist at once in the campaign against cheap money. The crusade is to cover every section of country. A general committee of 78 members iueluding leaders in every line of busi- ness in the Metropolis, has been ap pointed to direct the line of attack. Among its members are Isidor Straus, Gustav H. Schwab, Fred'k A. Constable, August Belmont, J. Pierpont Morgan, Carl Schurz, Cornelius Vanderbilt, John Sloane, Anson P. Stokes, Morris K. Jessup and Edw. King. The general committee includes an executive committee of nine, of which Gustav H. Scwab is chairman, and there are sub committees on press and corres pondence, on co-operation with kindred organizations, on formation of sound money clubs, and on finance. Gustav Scwab, in outlining the position of the Chamber of Commerce, says: “The committee hold that they repre sent not only the New York business man who can protect himself and make money on a silver basis, as well as a gold basis, but the interests of the wage earner, the laborer, the factory hand, and the savings bank depositor, who cannot protect himself against the avarice of the silver mine owner. The committee do not discuss any plan of bank currency.” Mr. Schwab is himself a mine owner. Francis L. Chrisman, a former Wash ington correspondent, and a well known newspaper man of this city, has been placed in charge of the committee’s headquarters. “Jap” Johnson a Brave and Good Hearted Man. Raleigh, N. C., May 27. To the Editor of the News and Observer: Your article in Sunday’s paper about j the arrest of “Jap” Johnson is calculated to make your readers believe him to be a real desperado, when in fact he is not. He is a fearless,brave man; comes of one of the best families of Chatham; last two brothers in the Confederate war and another was badly wounded, but still lives. “Jap*’ married a daughter of one of Chatham's best citizens, his wife died a few years after they were married; he finally went to making blockade whis key and his persistent efforts in this business has given his people a great deal of trouble, beyond this I never heard aught against “Jap” Johnson. He was not engaged in making whiskey at the time of his arrest. I am sorry if Johnson has violated the law and it is right that he should an swer the charges against him, neverthe less he is a brave, kind and good hearted man. D. T. Johnson. THE CRUISER RALEIGH. An Error Corrected—Raleigh Ought to Respond Liberally. Raleigh, N. C., May 27, 1895. To the Editor of the News and Observer: It was with much surprise that I saw the announcement a few days ago, that the fund for a present to the cruiser “Raleigh” had reached the sum of $3,- 250. As lam one of the “sponsors” for the collection of the fund in Raleigh, I made special inquiry concerning the notice. I find that it was a notice that the fund had received from the “spon sors” of Southport |32.50. Thinking that simple justice requires a correction I ask that you will publish this. Had any such sum as the first named been in band, we workers for this object would cease to solicit. Respectfully, Mrs. F. A. Olds. THE GEORGIA CENTRAL. » All Security Holders Must He Satisfied Before Reorganization. New York, May 28. --Bankers here interested in or representing securities of Georgia Central proper, or its branch lines, confirm the statement made by a Southern dispatch, here last week that the plan of reorganization has been laid aside pending the return of J. P. Morgan. He is awaited as the arbitrator between the different classes of securities for which position he is the best fitted because of his control of the Southern Railway, in close harmony with which the Georgia Central must be operated. It looks now as though the plan would not be pushed until all security holders are placated. THE CHICAGO MONUMENT. The Ladies o i Louisiana Contribute Floral Decorations. New Orleans, La., May 28.—The Illi nois Central train for Chicago, leaving here at 5:45 o’clock this afternoon had attached a refrigerator car of flowers which the ladies of Louisiana, through the United Confederate Veterans Asso ciation contributed, to be used at the dedication ceremonies of the Confederate monument in Chicago. Among the collection was a represen tation of a Pelican three feet in height, made of natural dried flowers, which was a perfect likeness. Col. Lyman and wife, representing camp No* 1, army of Northern Virginia, accompanied the car. Free Fills. Send your address to 11. E.
