iBut the Confederates were the attack
ing forces, and the Federals were en
trenched behind defenses hastily
thrown up in tlie night. The fight was
a desperate one, and the casualties
were appalling, especially on -the Con
federate side. Among the general and
field officers they were greater hi pro
portion to numbers engaged than in
any other battle of the civil war. Six
general officers were killed, six wound
ed and one captured, making a total
loss of thirteen for the Confederates.
On that side 'too thirteen regimental
commanders were killed, . thirty-two
wounded and nine captured, while at
the close of the day 6,000 of toe rank
and file lay dead or disabled on the
field. The Federal loss was about one
third that of the 'Confederates.
Of the Confederate forces engaged
the infantry 'loss was 33 per cent. The

. Tlie Decline of Oratory.
Elon College -Weekly.)
That oratory is really declining is
by no -means a .settled Question. Be
fore that question can be settled it
must be dee idea as to what oratory
really is. The art of public speaking,
like other ne arts, Taries in its hues
and colors with the varying ideals of
men cnid f the times. (Ideals vary,
develop, and recede. Measured by the
ideals of the present, the power of the
eloquent speech of the past has possi
bly lost some of its charm anil persua
siveness. ,
The fact -is, most products, both of
commerce and of learning, .are frov-
erned by the law of supply and de-
nvand. Today there is no longer a de
mand for the oratory of Demosthe
nes, Ciceiro, Henry, Webster or Cal-
noun. le results that there Is no sun-
ply. iBut it is only the externality,
the farm, the dress of such oratory
that is gone. The essence, vitality,
soul of H is not dead, nor withered,
nor dying. The -soull of oratory is im
mortal, lit cannot die. It is as much
a live today as it ever was. The spell
of man',3 power, -by speech or pen, over
ills fellow men, has not been broken.
'Where is the man in our day, no
Jess than in the past, who has a great
.truth to tell and does not get an and!
enee to tell it to? Where is the man
with deep conviction, an abiding faith,
and thorough knowledge about a sub
ject who does not iget a respectful, nay
more, an attehtjve hearing? Let a
man learn well his theme, drink deep
draughts of the truth about his sub
ject and he shall be heard.
Oratory does not consist of ibeautifhl
sayings even about beautiful subjects.
It is rather the earnest expression of
a soul under conviction on a subject
