Within a few weeks after the great battle of Gettysburg was fought we Wrote a communication 1 for a newspa per in reply to a one-sided and slan derous article In a Richmond (Va.) paper on the third day's charge, and the -eonduct of the North ' Carolina troops on the third day. We have been J writing since that time occasionally concerning that battle, Intelligent North Carolinians generally know of the misrepresentations and Ilea that have been-told relative to the North, Carolina brigades that participated In the famous charge. Men of character and influence who were in the fight liave given accounts of what actually occurred. Many pages of such test! -J -bony can be found in Moore's "North Carolina history." The truth is being more clearly exhibited both as to Get ; tysburg and other battles and the claim set up for North Carolina Is being fully established as the facts are more clear ly revealed. Just wnat is puousneu now by eye-witnesses Is ;4 just what North Carolina historical students have known all along. , - f I We have referred before to the in teresting fact hafc-tlie gallan' Captain .William K. liond, or Scotland JNecK, 3iad prepared ai vbliime on Gettysburg and some othfr great battles. It is a loss to the istate that the volume has not been published before Ihis. He . is capable, has made a close study of Si . the battles treated of and i3 riot afraid ' i to tell the truth "to hew to, the lrne let ttie chips fall where they may, We would be indeed very gratified to i ; know that the book would soon be published. S6me how North Caroli nians ought to see that this is, done. The Gettysburg Battle-Field Mem orial Association has published an ac - count of that tremendous battle' .that lasted for three days, and but for Long- street would have resulted in a victory for the confederates, as we do not doubt. The book, we learn f fom Cap tain Bond, through an article-In The Scotland Neck Democrat, was the work of Mr.JohnM. Vanderslice. Of him we know nothing whether of the north or -south. He is not a North i Carolii nian, and he had the confidence of the Association as he waa selected to write it. The interesting part to us is the fairness of the author, and the justice JYie does the troops of our state. We " siall make some quotations from the book as they appear in the "article ' aforesaid. They will be read with pleas ure by North Carolinians who are North Carolinians Indeed,: and will cori- t ...... w.u yi uuit.Tin.vj oiaivTincuia VI native witnesses of the battle as welf as Oth er suurces ol iiiiui inaiiuu Known 10 us, Of the assault made upon Cemetery Hill by the old Fisher North Carolina, the Sixth, and (the Louisiana Ninth, and miscalled by the lying writers who have reported the charge as that of "the Louisiana Tigers," Mr. Vander- splice states that the three North Car- , olina regiments lost more than the five Louisana regiments, according to the ' reports. What a monstrous liar is his tory, especially w hen written by igno -ranee ana iaisenooa; - s The third day's assault upon the ' heights known as Cemetery Ridge Is very graphically presented. Pickett advanced with-4,900 men. Of these but 2,000 returned to the line'. But this,- ; we take it, does not represent the kill ea and wounded, - but captured and scattered also. At any rate, Petti grew's and Trimble's divisions." (the latter North Carolinans entirely, the , former with but one North Carolina brigade in it) lost some 2,000 men. The . author says these troops , suffered as severely as Pickett's. Now for an edi lying quotation from Mr. Vanderslice "Great Injustice has been 'done these troops, bythe prevailing erroneous im presslon that , they failed ,to advance with those of Pickett. Such is not the fact. (Mr. vanderslice puts this last sentence in italics.). As they - were formed behind Seminary Ridge, they had over thirteen hundred vards to march under the terrible Ure to which they were exposed, while Pickett's 11 vlsion, being formed under cover of t tie immediate ridge, had but nine hundr ed yards to march under fire. At the first the assaulting columns advanced fen I echelon, but when they reached the ., i.niuimsuurg roaa iney were on a line, and together they crossed the 1 road." ; i Mark, but Mr. Vanderslice does not mention it; Pickett was not .only a quarter of a mile nearer and had that much less ground to advance over, but: he did not move until the enemy's .-. heavy batteries had been practically silenced bv the confederate artillery. . jr. vanaersiice asks: , , . '"But why call this Pickett's charge? T In Pickett's division there were fifteen - ', Virginia regiments. In Pettigrew's - -i and Trimble's there were fifteen North Carolina, three Mississippi, three Ten nessee, two Alabama and four Vir ginia. The" troops of Trim ble's And Pettigrew's division behaved as gallantly as those of Pickett." The amount of lying and misrepre sentation done by waiters concerning Gettysburg is positively staggering. We would like for Captain Bond at his leisure to make an examination of the . War Records published by the' federal government as to this point; to ascer , . tain just how many men Pickett's dl- - -1 ..- vision had at Gettysburg and how many it lost In killed and .wounded. Then find out how many men Pettl , grew's North Carolina -brigade had" in the battle and what Its losses were. We have a conviction, that the exami nation will show this: that the North Carolina brigade lost more men at Gettysburg .than Pickett's four brigades lost. One regiment in the North Car olina (26th) lost, we think, more than any Virginia brigade of Pickett's com ;" mand lost. Now comes a quotation that is edifying and astounding, for it '. exposes the gross slanders of the eager . liars who have sedulously, perslstent . ly sought to magnify the prowess of . . their own troops by minimizing the deeds and slandering the brave men of another state.- We quote from the Democrat's condensation: ' ; Answering the charge some- have made that the left of the line did not advance aa was expected' because the troops! were mot of the same "fine quality" as those upon the right, and were vraw." vundlclplined," - etc.. the author says: "Two days before these same soldiers of Pettlgrew and Trim ble had- fought around Reynold's Grove six hours,, in a struggle that Is unsurpassed for bravery and endur ance, and where so many of their num ber had fallen. There were, In fact, no better troops in the confederate army than they." , Here is the summing up of losses: North Carolina's killed and wounded 3,286 and missing 718; .Virginia's killed and wounded 2,872 and missing 1,813. Will the liar's abandon their trade of traduction and injury? We hope peo ple will find out more of the truth still. In Colonel Batchelder's famous and marvellous map of the great battle (a northern work) you will see the North Carolina killed lying farther In the federal lines than those from Virginia or any state. In noting the unfairness. the Injustice of the accounts hitherto published from certain sources. Mr. Vanderslice finely says, with historic illustration, comparing the troops of the states those of Pickett, so lauded, and those of other states so neglected and slandered: "Is "history repeated?. If the event is correctly recorded, there were at Ther mopylae 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians, and 300 Thebans. It Is said the latter went over to the enemy, but the Thes pians died, to a man, 'at the pass' with the Spartans: Yet ' for twenty-three centuries epic song and story have well preserved the memory of the Spartans, while the devoted Thespians are for gotten. "All honor to the Spartan Virginians who, with well-dressed ranks and splendid array, moved so gallantly, so steadily, ao dauntlessly : across the death swept, field; but honor, too, the Thespians North Carolinians and other troops who, too, marched and fought there that day. The valor of the one will not bed Immed by according Jus tice to the other." FACTS AS TO THE NEW TARIFF. Many of the New York residents are very much opposed to the McKlnley- Dingley monstrous, tax bill. There lis a high tax on carpet wools. But says Mr.- Charles S. Smith, "they are not grown in this country. They cannot be grown in this country. God is against it Isothermal lines; are against it. Climatic influences prevent it. .They cost in the country from which they are imported from 9 to 10 cents a pound, They were, free under the last tariff." The tax 11 cents a pound si put on wool. Of this product not more than 7 per cent, are used in clothing goods, which 93 per cent are used in carpets or can be eusd in any other way, and yet the wool is taxed 11 cents a pound that can not compete with the Ameri can' product as no such product is American. Mr. Smith says it "violates the principle of protection. You might as well put it on tea, coffee, or opium. That is one of the criticisms which is perfectly, proper for the chamber of commerce to make upon , this bill. I understand that Mr; IMngley himself Is absolutely opposed to it." .What a rascally tax,! Mr. McKeever said (this was in a meeting of the New York chamber of commerce) that "every ar ticle in schedule K.', which is the wool schedule has been largely increased. I have been familiar with all the tariffs from 1867t to this present one." There is certainly many very high places ia. the tariff bill. Take the draw back on the plates. To show how abused this is, a writer in the New York Evening . Post, signing himself "Steel-Maker," says the "draw back" is an insult to common sense. We quol and he proves his contention: "The steel makers -of theUnited States are today exporting to Wales in large quan tities what are known to the trade as "sheet bars," the raw material from whichtin plate is manufactured. The American manufacturer of tin piate, who commands the cheapest raw ma terials in the world, is therefore today- asking congress for protection against the Welsh manufacturers who is using American sheet bars and returning our own steel to us in the shape of tin plate Surely such a demand is an insult to the intelligence and common sense of our legislators at Washington?' , There is a vile retroactive clause in the bill that savors of dishonesty. It is to make the bill operative before " it shall have become a law. What a set of reckless robbers! Can it be possible that such an im perfect, greedy, oppressive, unscientific, unconstitutional measure of oppression can pass the senate not greatly amend- ed and curtailed? It is - to be hoped not. It' Is most objectionable m a thousa.nd particulars. Let the senate discuss thoroughly, and let its ab surdities and ignorance and abuses be well ventilated. Take up the bill seria tim and consider , in detail its mon stroslties in legislation and taxation. Many of the extreme acts must be severely razeed. Cut dorn, cut down. There ought to be revision surely In the Wool, sugar, limber and other sched ules. - A leading republican of Brooklyn, N, Y., Mr. Franklin Woodruff, says with all emphasis to the Washington corre spondent of the Brooklyn Eagle: "If the Dlngley bill goes through in its present form, the republicans will lose the next congress, and thesdemo- crats will certainly elect the first mayor of the Greater New York. I have been a republican for years, and voted for the republican candidates and spent my time and money to elect them, but I will not continue in the party if it in sists on enacting an extreme measure like the Dlngley bill. "It is not a reve nue measure, and is excessive taxation. pure and simple." The Evening rost gives this from a republican, we take him to be: "I am willing to predict that this weak yield ing to Ohio influence will send New- York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Rhode Island back to the democratic party at the next guberna torial elections." Let it be borne in mind that this purnicious tax bill seeks to tax foreign literature 25 per cent. It is not to be wondered at hat there is talk of re taliation. Canada so talks, and Russia and Germany and perhaps other coun tries will strike back. They ought to do it. Here is one more; specimen of outrage, and want of sense. The Bos ton: Herald says: "In the war tariff imported scissors and shears weretaxed 35 per cent, and under the McKinley law the duty was advanced to., 45 per cent. Under the Dingley bill, now before congress it is proposed to levy a duty of 225 per cent on the cheapest scissors."

There is talk In New England of .a new movement ox mucn pitn ana, moment" It concerns the textile ibusi ness, and a new scheme is ladvooated by The iProvidence Journal, and doubt less by other newspapers of that great manufacturing secftion. It 1s a plan based upon the sulperiority of the south in cotton .mSanufacturing. It ia a clear concessions in favor of the greater ad vantages of the south over New Eng land.' There Is to 'be no abandonment of mills "up there," as there has tieen of hundreds of farms that did not pay to cultivate them. Not that, but The journal says that there Is now a movement to manufacture goods of Which linen Is the only or a partial con- (Sbituent.in 'New England, But wWile a few mills have started l making such materials already, the manufacturers who are talking most about altering their products to that sort of merchan dise are those Who have been stirred to engage In the new enterprise 'by the report that a tariff will 'be imposed to help them out. Speaking of the men who have gone into 'this new movement, The Journal says that they have been restless under the frowns of the southern cotton In dustry. But can they shut out competition in the south in1 this way? We do not be-. lieve it, for .'the south can follow suit. -o - - - feet, if a bragging one In tone, was that one m!ade Iby Lord Salisbury, the Brit ish premier, not long ago, before the Associated Chambers of Commerce. It was a "talk about England's commer cial poMcy. It was boastful in declar ing that his country could "beat down every rivalry, under all circumstances. In any part of the globe." . But the able and sharp London "Saturday Re view shows there is bluster and error in this declaration, and calls it "Sheer braggadocio." It points 4n reply "to the stream of consular reports on com mercial affairs which Is constantly pouring into the foreign office, of which Lord Salisbury is -chief, arid says these reports, with scarce an exception, are replete iwith Instiances of Britisli man-, uf acturers' failure to extend or even to hold staple branches of British trade. Going into details, we are told that one of these reports shows the disappear ance of English agricuifcftral implements and the 'substitution of the German and 'American article; from another comes a tale of the absence of British textiles from eastern bazaars; froin a third, of the displacement of English cutlery by German and Austrian. 'And so,' The Review declares, taey go on; each con sul points Ills moral from his experi ence in his own official district; each one has some mordant commentary of' unhappy fact which nullifies the pre mier a boast.

The Attitude of Greece Toward Crete -Tha Little Kingdom Determined Tbat the Cretans Shall Be Free The fine Coadi- ;tlon of Greece Her Position Toward the Allied Power. - Patras, Greece, March 16. - Editors Messenger: In a series of weekly letters from here I propose to give your readers a true account of the events referring to the Cretan-Greek question. If these events only affected the island (Crete) and the Hellenic kingdom, still they would command attention, hut as they will most certainly also react on the whole of Europe ai)d within a very short time change the map of that continent the people of the ' United States will, doubtless, be greatly inter ested. - . - Both in America and Europe the de termination of Greece to resist coercion is Questioned but it is certain to be carried out. The king, the government and the people are of one mind, that is to liberate the Cretans from the Turk ish yoke and fight it out to the bitter end, even if the great powers should force and coerce Greece. And. weak as this little country appears to be at first sight, she indeed possesses an ele ment of strength hardly dreamt of by those who have not studied her care fully. Besides the sympathy of the whole civilized world, Greece has the splendid satisfaction of being the champion of liberty and doing for Crete that, whleh the powers are afraid to do. Greece has come to the rescue of the perse cuted island. But for the presence of the Greek army and navy in Crete we should nave seen a rew more cities burned, a ed and a few more thousands of Chris- me5f5 aurl- Kinf cut it in spite of the satanic policy of the powers.
