The battle of giants had begun. John, had been attached to the general's staff,; and during the first day's fighting had; seen much hard service. About ten o'clock thai night, after seeing1 to his faithful horse, he was standing by a camp fire indulgidg in a tin cup of hot coffee, made of the genuine article, that! day captured from the retiring leoer-; als, when an orderly rode up, and re ported that a Texas brigade, had lost its, way, and needed a guide. The general looked around at bis weary staff andi said: "Capt. Hewson, you seem the least fatigued, please guide Gen. Wheatley's brigade round to the right, and have them report to Gen, Smith." John moved off promptly ,Jbut with much re-t luctance in his heart. He found the Texans a quarter of a' mile away, resting and waiting for a guide. He reported to the general that he was detailed to guide them to the; right, some five miles away, whereat the general swore a mighty oat2a in his intense disgust, but finally found voice to say: "Lead on, young man; I presume that the intention is to walk us down to a state of humility that will make us fit subjects for killing to-; morrow. ' , As the general was splendidly mount-; ed this struek John as a pretty strong, figure of speech, but he said nothing! except to ride ahead at a steady gait.! As he rode forward the colonel of the leading regiment addressed him as to how the day had gone in that quarter. ', Before he had finished speaking, John recognized CoL Gregory's voice, but con trolled Ins feelings and answered quietly and in a natural tone of voice. The colonel started violently at the sound : of the young man's voice, and said, hastily: Y our voiee sounds strange ly familiar to me, and yet you must be a. stranger to me." "Not a stranger to you, CoL Gregory, as long as I have memory, I am John Hewson The colonel reached out his hand in the darkness and grasped the young man's as he Boke in a voice shaken with feeling; "My lad, vaf lad, I am glad to Bee you.

I did not think this terrible, war would ever let me feel glad again,; but I know now that I have some natural; feeling left. But Henry and my son-fa- law are both in my regiment, and you! must see them before you go back to; headquarters.'" ' John noticeoTthat the Tdndly man; poke rather constrainedly of "my son-. in-law," and felt in a moment that the; colonel was disappointed in hia son-in-law. . "Impossible colonel. I must report at once, as soon as the duty is done." . As they rode along the colonel got by. dint of hard questioning a pretty ac-j curate record .John's adventures after leavingTexas, and in return gave John a succinct account of everything that! had transpired and, exacted a promise from hfm to risit his wife and daughter In Richmond after the campaign was over. ' t As John rode back to headquarters his mind was in a maze of thought, out which he evolved only one definite ideav and that was that he hated Lanvale and; hoped he would be kiljed. At two o'clock he - reported at headquarters, threw himself down on the ground, and, slept as onty a thoroughly tired man. H :: - - .

The distance was short, and in a few minutes the little column broke into the federal ; ranks - with irresistible! weight. Everything went down before them. The retreating confederates see-i inghelpat hand rallied and renewed the charge, and in five minutest the fed erals were in full retreat. CoL Gregory, had secured another horse and rode up alongside John to say: "God bless you, John, you have; saved us all; but Henry and Lanvale are both down. I dont know how badly. they are hurt." John's heart smote him as he thought of his wicked wish toward Lanvale, and mat.- "Capt. Hewson grew up In our house, and his ill-breeding must therefore have come from us," quietly, replied Janet. "Quite likely," sneered Lanvale; "your family has not Impressed me with any sense of superiority, either in maimers or wisdom." , Janet had br this time heard so many coarse speeches from her husband, that they had no longer power to hurt as in earlier days, bo she made no further re ply. This angered Lanvale yet more than a bitter answer, and he continued: "As for you, my lady, I don't intend to have you receiving visits from other men, and I wish you not to see your Capt. Hewson when he comes about; if you do, when I get up out of here, I will settle with him." Janet was not of too patient nature. and this insult was too much. "You undertook to settle with my, Capt. Hewson, once before, and I re-. member that you did not come ofj vic torious," was the quick retort. This answer maddened Lanvale, a'nd he became so shockingly profane that Janet was compelled to beat a hast; re treat. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

At six o'clock in the morning, he was, Ih the saddle, and from that until ten o'clock was in a rush of orders. sA thatj hour the fighting was getting warm,' and news from the right was not favor- able. The general sent John back with orders to a Georgia brigade a mile or so in the rear to reinforce the right, and to guide them. It was nearly noon, when they arrived at the scene of the heavy fighting .and found the right hard pressed. . . The f edeaals had developed unexpect-: edtrength and were fighting deeper-: ately. John stopped a few moments to see how matters were going, when he Eaw CoL Gregory's regiment make a desperate charge on a body of the enemy who had just repulsed a similar charge of another regiment. - They were met with equal resolutron and for a few minutes all was confusion and Stuboorn lighting. Tnon tna superior weight of the enemy began to telL Tho Texans commenced giving ground, very slowly at first, but with constantly ac celerated Bpeed. He saw the colonel and Lanvale making frantio appeals to the men not to retreat. He saw, and groaned as he saw it, the colonel and his horse go down, and shouted joyful ly as the next, minute he saw the gal lant colonel on foot, cheering on his men. He felt that his wicked wish about Lanvale was likely to be gratified, and all in a moment the wickedness of it came to him. He tingled with shame down to his very toes and in a second his resolution was taken. The Texans vho had previously been repulsed were reforming their shat tered ranks close to him. Throwing off his cap and drawing his sword he rode up to them like a flam ing centaur. r. In a voice that rung like a bugle he shouted: "Men, shall our comrades be destroyed before our eyes and our help b withheld? Let every brave man f ol- Ww me." ' - Without waiting to see the effect of his words he started forward. His sud den and striking appearance .and stir ring anneal electrified the emotional southerners, and with a wjld yclj thai recklessly through the tangled and swampy woods, amid dead and dying men, with every pathway strewn with: the wreckage and red with the carnage of cruel war, often shuddering and sad but never f altering", our hero nut aside all selfish feelings and with an eye Bin-! gle to his duty obeyed the orders of his' chief without hesitation or question. ' He heard nothing more of Col. Greg-J oxy, though he knew that his command was hotly engaged In several ox the, battles. After the last disastrous strug gle at Malvern Hill, when there came a lull, he got leave of absence for a day and went up to Richmond to look up his friends. Knowing that the woman he loved had. married another man. It did not occur to this single-minded. loyal man, either to whine, or to feel enmity. He resolved if they would per mit it to drop back into the old relation ship, and to watch for any opportunity to serve them. When he walked up to their door in Richmond, he was perfect master of himself. The colonel, who had also pn cured leave, met him at the door with cordial welcome and called loudly to his wife to come and take a look at his other soldier boy. Mrs. Gregory came out of Henry's room hurriedly, and for a mo ment was bewildered by John's changed appearance; but catching the affection ate gleam of the unchanageably honest eyes, exclaimed, as she embraced him: Ah, John, I am so glad you cannot change your eyes, as you have your face with that great beard, and ohl I am so glad that the colonel and you have come through these dreadful' bat tles unhurt. The colonel could tell us nothing about you and we feared the worst. - JohnV eyes glistened a the good lady's affectionate greeting, and the proof of loving thoughtfulness in in quiring about him, as if be had been truly one of the family, He found them all very much occu pied with the two wounded men, and after a few minutes Mrs. Gregory went out to see how things were going with them. While she was out of the room, John learned from the colonel that Henry was doing weH, and would re cover rapidly, but that Lanvale seemed to make no progress, which he (the colonel) believed was due to the fel low's "cantankerous" disposition, as he expressed it. ' i Janet came in, somewhat embar rassed in manner, and looking very worn. John met her with a cheerful cordiality thatsoon put her at ease, and then the baby was brought in and straightway made friends with him. which she prwved by tugging most un- merciumy ai nis Deard. The young mother in looking at the honest, strong face, with eyes kindled into animation at the baby's antics, felt ashamed that she had ever abused or doubted such a generous and loyal souL If : in her heart of hearts she made a comparison, not favorable to her husband, and re gretted for a moment the mistake she had made, who saall blame her? John paid Henry a visit, and cheered up that young man mightily by assur ing him that they would certainly make hi in a captain. When Janet asked her husband if she should have Capt. , Hewson in to see him, he broke out into bitter impreca tions. T suppose you will all make fools of, yourselves now over that ill-bred eion by armed force of any State no matter under what pretext, is among the gravest of crimes.. Believing as I do that all other party differences pale into insignificance when con sidered side by side with this, and as the only hope of giving effect to my sentiments on tliia subject, standiuji now where I did in 1868. I shall cast my vote in this election for Mr. Cleveland in preference to Mr. Harrison. A word to you, my People's party friends. A few weeks ago you ten dered me, without my solicitation, your nomination for the highest judicial office in your gift. I thanked you then and I still feel and shall ever feel grateful to you for this manifestation of confidence, though I had to decline it. Since then the Republican managers who hold the Republicau party in North Carolina by the throat, have, as it 13 reported and generally believed, broken faith with you and put up a Slate ticket. The danger now confronts you of turning over our State government to men who favor Ihe national force bill with its attendant evils and the voto of North Carolina might decide that contest. Let me beseech you as patriots, rebuke that spirit by your votes and let us stand together aud maintain inviolate the l ights of the Stales which are "essential to lha oainnce oi power on wuicu the per fection aud endurance of our political faith depeuds." That balance of power, once eubverted and destroy ed, we may .bid a long farewell to tho constitutional republic. We may expect, too, in its stead to be govern ed by orders from the headquarters of a military chiefiaiu such as our TIMELY AND ABLE ADDRESS. AN AFFEAI TO PATKIOTISM.

To the People of North Carolina: Fellow Citizens : For many y tars past I have been in the babit of visit ing you in person during every im portant campaign and addressing you upon tbe political issues of the time. Being on this occasion pre vented this privilege by the condition of my health aud earnestly believing that tbe questionH to be decided by our November election are of vital importance to the public welfare, I am maucea to coiuriDuie, in iiis war. my share in the discussion of them. I regard the situation as mot critical. Since 1860 the legislation of our country has been almost exclu sively within the power of one political party. Naturally it has ceased to be general in its bentficence and has become local and partial in the extreme. The law making power has become the fearfully ffficient implement of such classes, corpora lions, cliques and combinations as could by fair means or foul obtain control of it. It has been made to subserve purely personal ends. In divers ways the taxing power of the government has been perverted from public to private purposes, and moneys levied thereby to enrich manufacturers, to suppress rivalry in business, and, in every conceivable way, to help the favored few at Ihe expense of the many. -The varied corrupting influences upon tbe business world arising from this legislation produced their natural effect. The classes whose business was thu favored, flourished apace whilst the unfavored have experi enced in the midst of peace aud plenty ail tho losses and hardships com raonly felt only in lime of public calamity; and tho extraordinary spectacle is presented of a nalioi whose aggregate wealth is rapidly and vastly increasing whilst the in dividual wealth of its chief toilers and wealth pioducers is diminishing in proportion thereto. From the Republican party, with its disregard of the limitations of the constitution and its natural depend ence for eupport upon the money of the people whom it has enriched, nil of this corrupt legislation has pro ceeded. Without it, thero wus uolh ing evil done that was done. follows as an undeniable truth, that whoever- directly or indirectly up holds, helps or supports that party is a friend to the corruptions which it has produced, and is an enemy to those who would repeal that leginla lion and reform tbe abuses founded upon it. There is no escape from this. The Democratic party, on Ihe con; tray, believes in the strict limitations of the constitution, and has as a par ty steadily, opposed all abuse to the taxing power, or any other power of the general government for private purposes; and has unceasingly advo cated the most absolute and perfect equality of all citizens in the h gisla lion of our country. There is uot single wrong or injustice of which complaint is mada in our laws for thirty years past, which can justly be charged to the Democratic party. Not one. It has ever been a break water against tbe tyrannical tenden cies of the Republicans; and, though in a minority, has been able to pre vent some of the worst legislation ever attempted aud to modify other taws which in their original iniquity would have been intolerable. Thi statement of the acts and purposes of the two great political parlies cauuot be truthfully denied. Now, whal is the situation! What is it Ihe manifest duly of our people to do in the coming elections? The two great political parlies into which our people are mainly uividea are eyes have seen in this Southland cot once ,nore Mho tie,J with l,,eir very many years ago. i my sen would prefer the very worst system of civil government to Ihe best from of military depotism m.

Tho Republican profess all of their old doctrini'8 from which have come the evils of which tho people com plain ; they glory in that abuse of the taxing poweij vbich has made a few rich and millions i oor; and, seeking new fields of injustice and oppression, ihey openly declare their intention lo take from the Stales the richt to control the election of their own rep reaentalivcs, which is the chief bul wark of their rights and liberties. The Democrats re affirm; their ad herence to tbe constitution,- their opposition to tariff rubbery, to bank ing monopoly and to corporate op pression in ail its foims, ar.d their desire to have the power to control elections where the constitution left it, and where it has resided for more Iban one hundred years. Primarily, it would seem that no Dtqiocrat, and especially Southern Democrat, could hesilute a single aiomcui. aa to which of these parlies deserved hia support. But a new party has arisen which is endeavoring to make people be- teve that the Democratic party is no longer to be trusted. The argument to prove this Is a travesty on com mon sense ; that because for thirty years they have as a party steadily opposed all abuses and "have not at any time been able to prevent or re form them, therefore is it no longer worthy of the eupport of Ihoee who desire a reform. The meaning of this is: Ihe Democratic party has been guilty of being in a minority. ts sin consists in not having done ihat which it could not do. Then they in effect say: "Let it be con demned, whilst the Republican party, which has had the power and actually did all these things, and etill has the power lo undo them and does not, is acquitted. Nay. we will help it to keep in power by betraying and destroying its only enemy f Therefore the Democratic party. with its vast organization in every State, county and township in the United States, wilh its control of one branch of Congrets, and comprising in the popular vole a large majority of all the people in the Union, being not strong enough heretofore to effect reform for which it has labored and wished, being without the Senate and Executive; they claim ihe only chance for reform is to vote for the candidates of this Third party, whose existence in Ihe national government aud power to control its legislation are evidenced by three or four mem bers of Ihe House of Representatives and two in the Sanate! Common sense and eelf -preservation would 6eem to dictate Ibat we 6hould help ihe Democrats, who are almost in power, to got altogether in power. and trust them to correct abuses as ihey have promised. O.ie strong pull at the polls in November next would give them control of both branches of Congress and ihe Executive, and the long night of misrule and in justice would burst into the dawn of a new and better day. It would be time enough to leavo them and form anew party when they had been tried and had proved failhlesf. But tho leaders of this new parly falsoly called Ihe "Peoples" insist that you shall abandon the D mo- cratic party now and vote with them. I am grieved to know that there are quite a number of our fellow-citizens in North Carolina who propose to follow that advico. It strikes me as I the very extreme of unwisdom, and, when done with a full knowltdge of the consequences, it ceases to be mere folly and becomes a crime. For, whatever may be"ihe hopes or the wishes of thee men, Ihey know as well as they know of their own exis tence, that this party has not only no chance of electing their candidate at Ihe polls, but alrio none of throw ing the election into the House of Representatives, about which they appear lo be most sanguine. Let no man be deceived about this. The handful of votes which will be cabt for Weaver in this State, be it as large as they can honestly claim, cannot wrest the electoral yoU from both Cleveland and Harrison, so as to help throw the choico into the House. It is absurd lo hope so; but thirty thousand (30.000) votes taken from Cleveland and given to Weaver will throw the vote, not indeed into a Democratic House, but iuto Ihe hands of Harrison. This result is so plain that the Re publican leaders, notwithstanding their professions to the contrary, determined to not let slip tbe oppor tunity, and they are now ready with full tickets and a complete organiza tion, to avail themselves of every thing which the dissension and folly of our people may ihrow into their laps. Their promises to run noStato ticket were manifestly made with the intention of alluring a "Third party ticket into the field, trusting that when meu get hot and bad blcod prevailed, Ihey might walk off with ihe DrtZ'j in bolh State and Federal elections. Alusl that want of rt flee tion or patriotism should render this ucheme a probable success. Indeed, it in fo plain that no ititelli. gent man can fail lo soe it, or an hon est one deny it, that the only proba ble. not lo say pos-ibld, result to- the Third party movement in North Carol isa lhi3 fall will be to elect a full Republican Stale ticket and to aid in Ihe election "of a Republican President and House of Representa tives. What is lobe gained by that result I need uot aak. How ihe re forms which hey profess to dt-siro are lobe obtained through Republic n success iaBomething which surpasses human conjecture. No true friend of this Commonwealth, I am sure, wil contribute to this result. It is reported that a prominent candidate on the ticket of the Third party says he had rather enbniit lo negro or any other kind of rule Ihan such oa we have at present; but I am forced to beltevo that, if this bo Irue. there are very few other white men of North Carolina who are outride of ihe penitentiary or who ought lo te outside, who entertain sentiments o foul and brutal. Our people know that under Democratic rule they havo had good laws, luw taxes, economy and purity ia the adminis tration of their affairs, and I hope and believe they will uot lightly risk its overthrow by casting unions or hopcks-J voles in Njveti ber. WHOLE NUMBER 620. Highest of all ia Leavening Power. Latest U. 5. Gov't Report. AESSIHJTEl PUS r The class of our people who have had greatePt causo to complain of vicious legislation is the agricultural The party which has steadily resisted this, and continually declaimed against it on the huttings and have struggled manfully to repeal it In the halls of legislation is the Democratic. You will bear ma witness that un remittingly since I havo been your in Kucb a care as this, turely those . which pertain to Ihe public weUarn ought to be decisive. If notratufi-4 with Mr. Cleveland, it seems ta me that an honest man should balance accounts pro and ctn. In this ways Cleveland agrees with me in desiring to reform the oppressive tariff taxa tion; to restrict the abuse of corpor- ate privileges, to repeal the tax on representative in the Senate, I have State banks and thereby to expaned both ppoken and voted against that unjust legislation. At home, as you know, I never ceased lo expose its in equalities and to advise the farmers to organiza to resist it. When they did begin to combino they had the sympathy and good wishes of almost every just man in the United States who was not in some way the recipe icnt of tbe plunder arising from thin abuse. Never was there a political movement of our people founded upon better grounds or moro resoua- ble complaint. But that which l feared and warn ed them against soon came to pass. Men who had little interest in agri culture, and much interest in Ihelr own fortunes, aspired to be its leaders. Often men who had failed to obtain office from either of the old political parties, concluded to farm toe farmers and raise personal crops of honor and profit out of lliem. They pressed to the front, thrust real farmers aside and involved the Alli ance in the wildest and most imprac ticable propositions ever heard of among sane men ; and, in defiance of iheir constitution soon converted it iuto a mere political party, composed of the discontented and the disap pointed elements of society, profes sing no fixed political principles or regard for the constitution of their country, but striving only to obtain the very worst of clasa legislation. which is Iheir sole idea of statesman ship. Their proposition to purchase and control all the lines of transportation and telegraph in Iho United States al the expense of many billions of dollars, aud of refunding to the soldiers the difference between paper and gold at the date of their pay ment. at least a billion more; of loaning people money on real estate at lower rates of interest than the market rates, and kindred schemes. are so preposterous that to argue them seriously is a blander upon our civilization; and the advocacy of such measures by the bitheto most con servative element ot our society is a noiincaiion to all tne world mat we are approaching that state of dema goguismand communism which mark a people as unfit for self-government My unfaltering confidence is in the true farmers of North Carolina, who. as member of that Alliance, will, I trust, not permit their noble order and Iheii just cause to bo thus per verted and debased. Root assured that no real friend of that noble class of men who, under Iho providence of God, give us our daily bread, will ever consent to thin degradation of their cause into the obsequious tool of unscrupulous, am bitious meu, forfeiting the sympathy of all moderate people, and making tho very name of Alliance to stink in the nostrils of justice and common sense. 1 can but believe that tho good judgment of our farmers will enable lliem to see whole there lead ers are taking Ihem, and that their native honesty will impel them lo draw back in time lo eave Iheir country. Many of our people, it is Irue, hava obj -cted to Mr. Cleveland, and pre ferred that he should not have been nominated. 1 confers that I was among that number. Bat an individual preterenco before the nomination of a cauJiJaio is one thing, and lite duly of a truo man after thai nomination ban been fairly made, in another and very dif ferent thing indeed. In the one case a preference may be indulged prop erly, without danger lo ihoprincip eg we profess or Ihe party which ban those principles in charge; in the other caae we endanger both and falsify our pretention by conlribu ling undeniably lo Iho success of our adversaries. If we refuse to abide by the voice 01 ine majority or our fellow Ucuio cralH freely and unmistakably ex pressed in friendly convention, there is an end of all associated party tiiri iu me government ot our country: if we personally participate in that consultation or convention aud then refuse lo abide by the decision of the tribunal of our own selection then Ihoru u hii cud of nil personal honor among meu, and the c-jnfiJei crt which is neceaary to ali combined eff rl in gone forever. The man who bu, proposing to collect if he wius and lo repudiate if he l;wea. is iii ul! countries among oil classes of p ople considered a dishoneal man. But if the considerations of good faiih do ivjI i,H i?i.co men s action i the currency; and above all, he is ' vehemently opposed to force bills and all similar attempts to destroy ihe rights nod liberties of tbe Stale. In all essential reforms be agrees with me except in the single matter of the free coinnge of silver, and in reppect to this, there is rea6n tofcepe that the fame candor and vigorov4 investigation which brought him in full sympathy with his party on the great question of taitff reform will soon bring him lo see the absolute necessity of maintaining both of tho precious metals on a par, to meet the urgent needs of the currency of the world. Harrison, on the contrary. agrees with me in nothing. There is no chance or reform which I desire to which he Is not bitterly opposed. and his party wilh him. Why thou should I hesitate! Either my vote for Weaver will help Harrison and., injure Cleveland or it will not; it cau- not avail Weaver, for ho has no chance whatever will probably not carry a single State. Why, then. should I rink my doing a damage to the candidate who would do most for me, though he d jcs not promise to do all, and contribute to the election of the oue who protnuoa me nothing but an indefinite continuance of ex isting wrong and an insolent threat of other and greater wrongs as soon a he has the power to perpetrate them! It eoems to mo, fellow citizens. that the path of duty was never oiore plain or Ihe necessity of walking lu it more imperative than it is al this moment. Let mo beg your earnest considera- . lion of the situation before you vole in November; and before you cut loose from the old, constitutional Democratic party, which in times of our extreme peril ""8 so often brought us forlh out of the iitnwu. bondage, and abandon Us shining -banner to follow reckless and incom petent men into Ihe wilderness of iheir unreal schemes. Think, well of the possible result of your action; how easy it is to destroy how bard to rebuild. I recently cut down in my moon? tain forest in about five hour, a tr that had taken five hundred years l grow. The Democialic party is strong and able and willing to help you. lis arm is not shortened that, it cannot save you. To cherub and uphold it is the dictate of palriotism and common sence.

'I once saw Davy Crockett cleaa up a crowd of crack shots,' said Judge Amu Musgorve, oueof the early 'patln finders,' who is an route to his home in Norther Indiana. 'It was in 1831, shortly before the outbreak of the war betwecu Texas and Mexico. I was in Santa Fe, N. M. A party of a dozen or morn were shooting at a turget with rifli, when a stranger rode up, threw his leg across the pommel of his saddle, and watched ihe nport. He had a long rifle strap, pod across the back of his saddle, one of those old fanhioued affairs, heavily ornamented with silver. He wasiu- Clined to criticise tho shooting, and wa invited to set the pace. Lie re plied that ho never ihrew away an ammunition, but that if they would put up their crack shot lie would shoot with him for ten Mexiuuu dollar.'
