CI- THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1897. TWO I IMPORTANT NORTHERN HISTORIFS ON CHANCRLLORS VILLE AND GETTYSBURG. - Some week or two since we received a neat volume entitled, "The Battle of Chancellorsville The Attack of Stone wall Jackson and his army upon the right flank of the Army of the Potomac atfc Chancellorsville, Va., on Saturday Afternoon May 2, 1862." By Augustus Choate Hamlin, Formerly Lieutenant Colonel and Medical Inspector U. S. Army, Historian Eleventh Army Corps. It is published by him at Bangor, Me. It contains 192 pages, with nine differ ent maps of the battle at different hours; is printed well on thick paper. Price 1$ in cloth, or 75 cents with thick paper covers. It is very carefully and excellently prepared, shows an earnest purpose to find the truth and tell it, and is really of historic value. It cer tainly clears away the smoke from parts of the battle and .places blame where it properly belongs. It Is a very complete vindication! of the Eleventh -Army Corps (the Cfej-mans) and shows they deserve about -as much credit as other corps, and behaved as well .under most trying circumstances. Colonel Hamlin has made a very thorough study of the battle, has sought all available information from participants in both contending armies, and has received valuable assistance from General James H. Lane; Colonel W. H. Palmer (of A. P. Hill's staff): Colonel iKyd Douglass and Major Jed Hotchkiss, (Jackson's staff); Colonel Eugene Blackford; Captain Randolph Barton (Stonewall brigade); and from two 'of Jackson's couriers. You see nearly all are Virginians. ' Strange to say North Carolina is well treated by the author. In fact he recognizes the splendid fighting qualities of the North Carolina soldiers everywhere. He does justice to Pender, Ramseur and Lane. He shows up certain federal officers, and also points to grave errors com mitted by General Colquitt, and even deneral Jackson. He shows the very serious dicontent and Jealousy that ex isted in the northern army, describes s rikingly the character of Jackson 'and Lee, sets forth the greatness of ' Lee, without however showing the high a ppreciation of our great - leader as I ieutenant ! Colonel Freemantle, Colo ned Chesney and General Lord Wolse ley, of theBritish army, have done. Of Lee he says: "General Robert E. Lee stood in the old federal army as one of the ablest, if not the ablest, officer in it, and his withdrawal from it at the call of his native state was regarded as a serious loss "to the Union cause. Lee was admirably qualified both by art and nature as a leader of men. Envy was unknown" to him and suspicion loathsome to his nature, and In his in fluence over the southern Hotspurs, he showed much of-"that admirable tact which distinguished the -great Marlbo rough.": : This is brief but good, without being exhaustive-or revealing other' great points in the character of this immortal son of - the south. Colonel Chesney, while living the highest authority oh war in Great' Britain, wrote in "Black wood's -Magazine" -that the three great "soldiers of the English speaking race were Marlborough, Wellington and , Lee, in the order of age or birth. Lord Wolseley, commander in chief of the British army, says Lee was a greater soldier than Wellington. Gen. Winfield Scott, commander in chief of the United States army at the beginning of the great war, said that Captain Lee (then young) was the greatest soldier in the Mexican war. See General Long's Life of Lee. Colonel Hamlin writes at length upon the wounding oft General Jackson gives all the events f leading up to it, and ' puts the blame where it belongs and not upon the man in Lane's bri gade that did it. The book is indeed well worth reading. , - Colonel Hamlin highly appreciates the North Carolinians in the battle.and particularly Pender's and Lane's com mands. He pays at length a fine tri bute to Lane's brigade, tells of its ; splendid fighting in many battles and its great losses and of its grand work ; .at Sharpsburg and Gettysburg. At j Chancellorsville it lost 800 killed and ; wounded. "At Gettysburg 40 per cent. - in the three days' fighting and truth- :f ully and accurately states that " it marched off the battlefield." (third day at Gettysburg) "in excellent'' order Tjvhen Pickett was' routed, and took po sition in support of the rebel batteries, which some of the TDrigades" of that charge did not do." It lost also 800 men in the battles around Richmond. .He says rightly, with exact truth "North Carolina-1 furnished more -men than any other state of the confert"--acy, and lost more in action, than any of its sister states."" ' It was the left wing of the Eighteenth North Carolina- that fired the fatal shot . that Silled 1 Jackson. Colonel Hamlin shows the mistake that . was made a very great gne indeed, in Gen eral Jackson sending for 'General Jeb Stuart to take command -after his own wounding to death. It proved a great loss to the confederacy as you will Bee hy reading this careful book. The maps are excellent and enables you to follow the fight under all its changes to the close. The southern army ' lost some 17,000 at Chancellorsville, .as the au thor 'thinks. North Carolina lost 2,721 killed and "wounded. Lane lost 739, and Pender 693. General Lee reports his loss at 13,000. We believe that 13,000 will cover the . number of killed and wounded. Virginia lost -1,523. These were the heaviest losers less than 4,300. ' So it will be bard at that rate to make the loss 13,000. The book is indeed interesting and well worth read- ' ing.' .. .. j' .... Our gallant friend Captain W. R. Bond, of Scotland Neck, wrote to us concerning Colonel Hamlin's book be fore i we had completed our examina tion of it. He is highly impressed with its value and sense of fair dealing. He tells us of another contribution to the literature of the great war between the states, and pn the battle of Gettys burg. I As our readers know, this is the battle 'Concerning which more false statements, unfair glorifying unjusti fiiable neglect and deliBerate ignoring has been done than In any of hundreds of battles fought during the very fate ful four years. - We have had a hand In exposing some of the gross misrep resentations, perversions ; and hom blowing and we began only a month or two after the battle was fought. Cap tain Bond writes that the book is by a Philadelphia lawyer, Mr. Vanderslice, under the supervision of the battlefield commission. WeN quote from our es teemed correspondent: - "It is wonder fully elaborate and accurate; and in it North'Carollna Is. given full and entire justice. It isa- great book. It is very evident that the writer, like Colonel Hamlin, thinks more highly of our troops than of fhe Virginians." It is a singular and most striking fact that northern men, editors and fighters and writers of books, have done the North Carolina troops ample Jus tice, which the writers of southern states have failed to accord them. Not one Virginian author has done our troops Justice or been fair . to them. General A. P. Hill, and General Lane, (both Virginians who , commanded them), have done even handed Justice, but not one of the Virginia writers of the war. We doubt If General Lee himself ever accorded the praise that was -due. . But the northern writers and fighters knew what happened in their front and tell the truth about it. Colonel Batchelder, of the northern army, spent years of labor In perfecting his map of the battlefield of Gettys burg and it is by odds the most perfect work of the sort ever made. We once examined It. It shows where the North Carolinians were, and you see what they did. After the battle, and the charges of the third day, the northern ambulance corps found dead North Carolinians farther in their lines than those of any other state. Their bodies are designated on the map. But you can not learn from the glorlfyers of Pickett's routed men that any North Carolinians were in the charge at all. One North Carolina brigade, Petti grew's, lost . more killed and wounded in the battle of Gettysburg, we think, than Picketfs entire division (four brigades) lost. And we take it. but have not the figures at hand, but have the set of War Records in qur library at home, that more North Carolinains fell at Gettysburg than Virginians, and perhaps of any other state. Colonel Hamlin has evidently acted upon the fine advice and deliverance of the great Roman orator and author and philosopher, Cicero, he quotes.that "it is the first law of history that the writer should neither dare to advance what is f alse.nor suppress what is true; that lie should relate the facts with strict impartiality, free from ill will or favor." It -s time that men of the south who essay" to write the history of the war to follow scrupulously this wise opinion of the illustrious Roman. HOME POIiKS. Senator Prltchard was a printer boy at the start -and worked In the Jones boro (Tenn.) Tribune office. He de serves the greater credit for working up to the United States senate. We re gret to see it given out that he is so poor in health. 1 s So Butler will return to Raleigh, to look after matters at "home. He can do no good in the senate and he may help to do some good in the' state. It seems to be understood that his political lead ership is gone and liis political days are numbered. At any rate Bill Day and others so regard it. It does look as if Butler's chances to lead the fu sion democrats again are of the past and come not again. It looks, as if the house judiciary committee was Willing for stage actors to indulge In obscenity and vulgarity, and that the legislators were favorable to receiving all the passes railroad -corporations may offer. The Nashville (Tenn.) Sun says 20,000 passes have teen given to Tennessee legislators by railroads. Comment is entirely super fluous. A straw .will show the way a stream runs. The recognition of the valuable ser vices rendered to the city of Wilming ton by General W. P. Oraighill, of the United States army, is altogether high ly proper. lie has been most faithful and wise and has' been again and again the cause. and agent of promoting im provements in , the Cape Fear that were indispensable to our city and sec-v tion. All honor and gratitude to tJhe ex cellent gentleman and faithful friend. Expeditious trials of murderers and rapists are all right. But an ounce of preventive is worth a. pound of cure. Amending the criminal laws so has to protect life and white women and chil dren would be more In order than any punishment of crime after it Is commit ted. We suppose all lawyers know bow yery difficult it is to convict for grave crimes under the jury trial system that now prevails. With ignorance and cor ruption sitting' in the jury box along side of Intelligence and virtue and compelling entire agreement to con vict of all the twelve jurors is to shut out justice and give crime a constant impetus. The Messenger has not had a word of discussion in the matter of the mooted "reformatory for", youthful criminals." Its -silence lias not 'been because it would not "reform" .the young ras cals who steal and murder and break-! into the penitentiary, but it has not be lieved In Its practicalness. We doubt if a negro would be "reformed" in a generation. It Is favorable to having the young scoundrels kept to them selves and away from the hardened rascals and villains. But as to "re form" them, we admit our faith .is very, very weak.. When did one ever "reform?" The old fellows steal to get back into the comfortable "pen." LITERARY GOSSIP, George Meredith has written a vol ume "Essay on Comedy," and "the uses of the comic spirit." A dlstlguished and brilliant novelist cannot well fail to be entertaining with such a delight ful theme. The publishers, the Scrib ners, say that "its treatment ' blends theory and illustration with successful clearness and the different character the comic spirit assumes in Aristoph anes, Men and er, Shakespeare and Con -greve Is vividly depicted." We hardly know aTlivfng writer from whom we would expect a more sparkling. Inci sive, witty discussion of comedy than the author of "Richard Feverell" and "Diana of Crossways." The clever Scotch novelist William Black has written an article on hia recollection of Carlyle in nis old age. It is not flattering. He describes him "as an old man; worn and tired and bent, with deeply lined ascetic features, a firm underjaw, tufted gray hair and tufted gray and white beard, and sunk en and unutterably sorrowful eyes." He gives some samples of his extraor dinary talk, for Carlyle was a most ex traordinary man In, many ways; one man in a century, end he has made much, perhaps more. Impression upon our century &uun any man -who has lived in it. He Veferred (to Swtaburne we take It) to "that young man, still going about vomiting forth blasphemy and the jeers of Tophet?" Carlyle fatt ed at poetic writing as we mentioned long ago In these columns. He also failed as a novel writer. Mr. Black says that "Mr. Allinghain, an old friend and f refcuent companion pf Carlyle, assured me that lie (Carlyle) had no sense whatever of the magic of lyrical poetry, while foe had unmistakably a. magnifi cent disdain for anything in art! or lit erature that he could not personally appreciate. He had himself tried versed making; conspicuously he did not suci creed, -and even after he kept repeating, 'If you have anything to say, say It: why sing it?" In like manner he1 tried novel-writing; he failed, and1 ever thereafter he scoffed at fiction fiction. Which from the time of Homer! to the time of Thackeray has been the one beautiful and resplendent feature o the mental world. The same anthropo metric tendency Is clearly traceable throughout his article on Scott." Marshal Lord Roberts, England's best soldier of late in India, has just published a two volume work Entitled "Forty-one Years In India." It is costly and beyond the reach of poor southern editors and lovers of literature, as Is that splendid forty-volume work being Issued under the auspices of the Har per's Weekly Club, each reading of Which excites a hunger of the mmd akin to that of the poor boy as he gazes in a large shop window richly ar rayed In toys and luxuries fori Christ mas. . , . The splendor and power of Kipling's "The Seven Seas," a poem lately Issued, are unmistakable we suppose, (we have not seen it) or the critics in England and the United States are badly off their critical pegs. It is praised !in high strains, and we have scarcely seen a discordant opinion. The Boston Tran script strikingly says: 1 "Already the laureate of the English on land, by virtue of ihis 'Barrack Room Ballads,' we must nowwacknowU edge him English .laureate of the sea. He i3 by every instinct and char acteristic a laureate such as the men of English speech haSre never had," His "Many Inventions" is also prais ed warmly by good critics. Soi good, a critic as the one who writes for The New York Sun says of it: ''We ad visa everybody to buy 'Many Inventions' and to profit by some of the 'best en tertainment that modern fiction has to offer." Some French and . American critics are attempting to detract from Kipling by dissection and analysis. But with all real or supposed shortcomings ;we hold that at this time he is the most origi nal and greatest man of letters living. The Tribune critic noticing a iiew. col lected edition of his works by jScribner writes admiringly and Invitingly of thirl famous Englishman who ten years age was unknown. That he Is a j man of marked powers and versatility, being a great success in poetry, in romantic tales, and in stories on land and sea, is too plain for cavil. The Tribune says accurately and happily: "It is in his impartially sympathetic and eloquent celebration of all sorts and conditions of men that Kipling most clearly reveals himself the master that he is. Some of his mannerisms have been mistaken for essential in gredients of his work. Perhaps they are, but to a very minor way. His self consciousness, for example, is occa sionally visible in his style, but never does his synicism or his cocksureness divert him from the natural drift of his tale. There you have the inspira tion of the true narrative genius, to hold himself aloof from the march of events, no matter how much he may indulge himself In verbal idiosyncra sies." .

Europe keeps Immense armies' because the nations fear each other, Jean not trust each other. England, Russia and Germany are . talking of increasing their fighting force. Not enough yet. When one moves all must move and so the people are burdened and robbed of their liberty and made food for powder. It will be a long time before war ceases in the world among the nations and the lion and bear hug each other.' No na tion confides in the pacific purpose of its neighbor. They watch each other as if ferocious animals ready to de vour. There is one thing that hard times, scarcity of money, dullnes of trade, despondency of people, and suffering of the poor do not affect in the least. It is' the price of coal. There has been scarcely any reduction all through the panicky years beginning with Cleve land's movement against silver in 1893, When he betrayed and ruined iiis party. The Baltimore Herald notes that while other commodities have fallen from 10 to 50 per cent, (mark it for it is a gold bug "talking now) that hard coal has ruled at $6 or more a ton in Baltimore to the consumer since 1890.J; Why has all that the farmers produced so badly fallen fallen so far and still coal should keep up, freezing or no1 freezing, work or no work, money or no money? Why is coal exempt from causes that effect all other interests why is it not governed by economic law of supply and demand as are all other products? The Herald says: "The amount of coal to be mined within a given period is settled by a conference of sales agents. Transpor tation companies, the hungry miner, the retail dealer and the consumer are all within the relentless grasp of the Coal Trust, in comparison with which the Standard Oil Company and the To bacco Combine are virtuous institu tions. ' ! The coal business is ruled by a rod of iron. An excess of 2,000,000 tons in a year over the average output, which might bring a little comfort into the home of the miner; which would add $3,000,000 to the gross earnings of rail road companies, a'nd which would re duce the retail price ' 50-- cents a ton, would take $20,000,000 from the profits of the coal combine. - Hence, no-such catastrophe is ever allowed to happen." Do you see? And yet the congress and the people submit to the continu ance of devouring and 'tyrannical trusts. : I ' YOUNG We Offer You a Remedy Which Insures SAFETY to LIFE of Both Mother and Child.
