This week is the anniversary of some of the most important battles and severest fighting that occurred during the War between the States. We refer to- the bat tle of ChaneeUorsville on the 2nd and 3rd of May. 1863, and the battle of the Wilderness dn the 5th and 6th of May. 1864- Al though a year apart those bat tles were fought on nearly the same ground, the Union army at the beginning of May, 1864, being in nearly the same position that it was at the beginning of May, 1863, and no nearer Richmond. This is a fact worthy of remem brance. That is, although the great battle of Gettysburg is generally considered so disas trous to the Confederate army, vet ten months afterwards the Union army was no nearer Richmond than it was two months before that battle. The Chancellorsville campaign was one of the most brilliant for the Confederate army that ha3 ever been conducted in any age or countrv. During: the winter and early spring of 1863 the Fed eral army occupied the north side of the Rappahannock river opposite Fredericksburg, extend ing to the Potomac, and. the Con federate army was encamped on the south side of the Rappahan nock. The men ot both armie9 knew that a hard fought cam paign would begin as soon as the condition of the roads would per mit the movement of the wagon trains. So confidsnt of success was tne f euerai general wno at mat time was "Fighting Joe Hook er") that on the 30th of April, 1863, before putting his army in . ' 1 J Jt I motion, ne issuea jenerai or ders No 47 in which he boast fully announced "that our ene my must either ingloriouslv fly, or come out from behind his de fenses and give us battle on our own ground, where certain de struction awaits him." This proud boast was doomed to a disastrous disappointment. The Confederates did not "in gloriously fly" nor did "certain destruction" befall them. In stead of the Confederates inglo riously flying, as predicted .by Gen. Hooker, his o wn army fled in utter rout to the defenses around Washington. The cam paign began with the Federals confident of capturing Richmond but in a few days they were re- i treating to the defense of their own capital, Washington City! It was at the battle of Chan cellorsville, on May 2. 1863, that Stonewall Jackson executed his celebrated flank movement and put to rout that portion of the Federal army opposing him This was one of the most bril liant military movements ever ex ecuted in any war, and would probably have resulted in the capture or annihilation of the en tire Federal army if Jackson had ... -A. 1 if , ii.ii mmseii oeen accidentally mortally wounded. This sad event occurred just after dark and prevented the further pur- t.t. - 1 - buii oi uie enemy that night. The next morning, forty-eight years ago today, the attack upon the enemy was resumed and al though protected by strong breastworks the Federals were driven back from all their forti fied positions with heavy loss in . killed. , .. s.v..,uu emu pi istmtil a and retreated toward the Rappa hannock. By ten o'clock on the morning of the 3rd of May, 1863, the Confederates were in full possession of the battlefield. So that instead of the Confed erates "ingloriously flying" upon the approach of the Federal army, they went forward as sumedthe oftensive instead of: the defensive, and attnck-l thi - . V11W enemy, winning a glorious vic tory. As was said by Gen. Lee in his official report of the bat tle at Chancellorsville: out of 1581 Confederates killed 557 of them (a little more than one-third) were our brave North-j Carolina soldiers. It was in this battle that General Ramseur's North Carolina brigade charged and captured some breastworks which the troops f rora another State had been ordered to attack and wVieh they refused, to do- In this charge Kamseur's North Carolinians ran over" the other troops wTho had refused to move forward.

The public laws enacted by the last Legislature have been print ed and are now ready for distri bution. This is much earlier than usual after the adjournment of the Legislature, for frequently they have not been printed and distributed until several months after adjournment. One reason for this Dromot printing is the volume of public laws is much smaller than usual, being only 404 pages, whereas there were 1440 pages in the volume of the public laws of the Legislature of 1909. This decrease in the size of the volume is because all the laws passed by the last Legislature are divided into Public Laws, Public Local Laws and Private Laws, and this volume contains only the public laws of State wide application. All the other laws (that is public laws of a lo cal nature and private laws) will be published in a separate vol ume. This change was made at the suggestion of our very effic ient Secretary of State and will save the State several thousand dollars and also made possible their earlier printing. Tiie University of North Car olina had two debating contests on last Saturday night, one of them at Chapel Hill with the University of Georgia, and the other at Charlotte3ville with the University of Virginia, and won in the former but lost in the latter. Although neither of these de bates attracted much attention, certainly not as much as a ball game would, vet such debates are much more to be encouraged and commended than ball games The debates stimulate a zeal for developing the mind and the ball games stimulate the muscles. The debates should be more a part of college life than ball games, but are they? We are pleased to note that our State University pays so much atten tion to the debates, and it may be said of them that they do not encourage betting as much as ball games do. nation coming ott next year, has tmm oi tne euure nu uu, m.rw ; while'lakih an ensine to Gli-1 3 much influence in politics and in-ly endorse the Watkm oieney legislation at the capitol. -There merchandising . for they k,u,w; Engineer appears as yet but little opposi- they can get better goous and f f B ; Ferran was cauht be- tion to the nomination of Presi- more of them for the same money ; J" 2 if BURT -7? t ft 1 Tiicn you slioulsl.ear our Guaranteed oues. Gov. Kitchin is to be congrat ulated upon his good judgment in selecting the members of the commission to superintend the construction of the new adminis tration building at Raleigh, wThich was authorized by the last Legislature to be built at a cost of 250,000- The members are J. S. Carr, of Durham, Ashley Home, of Clayton, J. Elwood Cox, of High Point, J. A. Long, of Roxboro, A. S. Rascoe, of Windsor, W.'L- Parsons, of Rock ingham, and W. E- Springer, of Wilmington. The Governor show ed his magnanimity by appoint ing one of his competitors for the nomination for Governor and also his opponent for the elec tion, Messrs Home and Cox. dent Taf t by the Republicans for a second term- Straws appear to indicate on the Democratic side a turning in fav6r of Gov. Woodrow Wilson, of New Jer sey. The only apparent active opposition to President Taf t is from the adherents of Senator La Follette- The friends of the Senator are active and aggress ive and there is of course no tell ing what the next twelve months may bring forth.. Gov. Harmon and Champ Clark, the Speaker of the House, and of course the quadrennial Bryan are always Democratic possibilities. But Gov. Wil son, of New Jersey, has appealed to the, intelligence of the public in a remarkable way. Last week at a banquet in New York a toast was proposed to the governor of New Jersey and the future president of the United States. Gov. Wilson interrupted and said, 'That, of course, means Gov. Dix." "No replied Mr. Frielinghuysen, a "Republican, "that means yourself . " Gov. Wilson has apparently converted a flinty. Democratic, trust-strangled State to the doctrine of pro gressive' politics, and he has ap parently done it by the force of his character and his will almost unaided and alone. He had long been known as a gentleman, a scholar and a statesman, but only recently has he been brought be fore the public as a brilliant and practical politician. His speech es are no less remarkable for their brevity than for their in clusiveness, their felicity and their common sense. For mat ter, terseness and condensation they are in remarkable contrast with mucn contemporary Ameri can oratory. It ought to be a matter of great satisfaction to millions of people in the United States that the pos tal deficit has been wiped out Postmaster General Hitchcock deserves the highest credit and a bronze monument with more metal in it than there is in some of the equestrian monuments in Washington. To have wiped out a deficit of nearly eighteen mil lions ot dollars in two years is a splendid achievement. With the co-operation of Congress (and the people ought to eee that he has it) he can accomplish more. He has one cent postage in view and it would be easy of attain ment if a parcels post were es tablished or if certain other re forms advocated by the Post master General were carried out. A bill for one cent postage back ed by the administration may be introduced in the present exti a session and if not it will almost certainly be brought up in the regular session. The Postmas ter General will continue to urge the increase of rates on second class matter from one to four cents a pound. It is refreshing to know that the wiping out of this eighteen-million-dollar defic it has been reached without in the least impairing postal facili ties. The service has actually been extended along desirable lines. Over three thousand new postoflices have been established, delivery by btter carriers has been extended to 142,000 new rural routes covering over 50, 000 miles in length 'have been authorized. lrom the Watkins Bales man, than they can elsewhere, and they aiv delivered right at their door.
