The fortunes or war hao turned the scale against us. The proud banners which yoi have waved so gloriously over many a Held are to bo furled at last. Hut they are not disgraced, my comrades. Your in domitable courage, your heroic forll tude, j'our patience under sufferings, have surrounded them with a halo which future years can nevor dim. History will bear witness to your Valor, and succeeding generations will point with admiration to your grand struggle for constitutional freedom. Soldiers, your past is full of glory. Treasure It In your hearts. Remem ber each glory battle-field, each day of victory, each bleeding comrade. Think then of your future. "Freedom's battle mice begurt, ' Bequeathed from bleeding slro to son. Though baffled oft, is ever won." You have yielded to the over whelming . forces, not to superior valor. You are paroled, prisoners, not slaves. Thj love of liberty of which led you into this contest burns as brightly in your hearts as ever. Cherish it. Associate lt with the history of the past. Transmit, It to your ' Children. Teach then! . the rights of freedom, and teach them to maintain them. Teach them the proudest day in all your proud ca reer was that on which you enlisted as southern soldiers, entering that holy brotherhood whose ties are now sealed by the blood of your canipa trlots who have fallen, -and whose liberty, is.,, coeval with the brilliant record of the pas; four years. Soldiers, .amid tho imperishable laurels that- surround your brows, no brighter leaf adorns them than your, connection with the late army of -'Northern. Virginia. ', ' , The star that shone with splendor over Its oft-repeat ed fields of victory, over the two deadly struggles of Manassas Plains, over Richmond, Chancellorsille, and Fredericksburg, has sent its rays and been reflected wherever freedom has a frlend. That star; has- set In blood, but yet' in gloir.'1.

' The work accomplished hy the slate jonato til the end of the second week of- the session Is iro:::llv farther ad- jVanccd than is usually ili-' case; that k to say, more bills of real Import -; (inc? h-c been not ratly inh'oduce.l. j but many of them have (jone through th ' ?v;tru!ar channel of the eonimltte.j ro:cn?i :md been r-onsiilere. and lN-port-: oil hack to the senate am! finally dis posed of, so far as that body is con j n rued, .unless they come buck for eoti ! ciirrenco to some amendment by tho I house. j When the senate- adjourned Friday the calendar was cleared and th work for Monday will bejjln with bills that 1 will be reported back by the commit tees Monday morning. Jt is tho fact, however, that a num ber of the most Important measures of the session have yet to bo consld ered, both In the committee rooms and in the senate proper. Among these are .the several mills introduced last v-c-elt designed, to regulate the opera tion Of railroads and stipulate the i amount railway companies may charge for passenger transportation wilhhv the state and for other purposes. , The consideration of these measures has been set for next Tuesday by the senate committee on railroads and the hearing ot the several officials and at torneys of the various railway inter ests and companies involved will pro b abl;ctiswini,aH the ttmeHhe 'commit tee can devote to the subject when tbe I senate la not In session for several days. There are statistical facts anl oilier figures that the committee must have before them to act Intelligently on the matter In hand. The committee In itr desire to be fair and just to th" corporations' Interest desire this lnfo--mution and the railways wero anxious that It should be at their disposal and this accounts for the postponement of the consideration of the bills last week. for (be figures can bo furnished onlv b-' the officials of the companies having- that particular branch of the work In char-jre. The Aycock anti-trust bill, yclept a "1 ill to punish pools, trusts end con spiracies," which was published in yesterday's Issue of The Times, will be considered in committee and reported during the coming week. The text of the bill having al ready been printed in this paper it ir, not necessary to point provisions out again in detail. Thero will probably be an effort made to amend the bill in some respects, but it will possibly pass the senate with most or all Vf Its material provisions left Intact. North Carolina now has no such anti-trust law on its statute books, an omission for which the end commission is responsible, an act that passed tho last general assembly not having been incorporated in the cod through an omission, as we understand it. There are 'the important insurance hills, introduced by Senators Drewry and Aycock, as well as several over in the house, that are yet to receive con sideration and when they get before the deliberative bodies of the two houses they will also consume some time in the discussion which their passage will precipitate, no matter what shape ihey have assumed after the. committees have put them through the scrutiny of their criticism and in terlineation. Some of the bills now in the hands of the committees on insu rance and finance contain provisions that ousht to become a part of the in svrance laws of North Carolina, and tl.ere are others that contain some that ought not. Another important measure yet to be disposed of is that which proposes to change the manner of payment of th" prosecuting attorneys of the several judicial districts, paying the solicitors a stated salary instead of fees as un der the existing law. The indications ai-e that the purpose of these bill3 (there are several In the hands of the committee on judicial districts) will be accomplished. Senator Graham's bill concerning, tho taxation of stocks, and particularly bank stock, which was re-commltted last week, will be reported and como up for action Monday, probably. The killing of the bill to amend the law relative to summaryproceedlngs, making it stronger for: the owners, of property, was a feature of last week (l the senate. The Vote was very de cided.; - vVi-v-J7' The hill to Increase the pay of State officers will be taken up soon, and tt will probably Include general Increase Of the salaries of ail executive officers and some of the clerks. ;f ip'ypKK . Many of the bills that 'have already been Anally disposed ot In the senate are purely local measures of no Im portance, except to the people ef the countie affected directly, numerically inc. idf duwiumuur uie uuih 01 j;oli eral legislation. Among the more Important measures that have gone through the commit tees and the calendar of the senate and either been ratified or sent to the house for eoncurrenceduring the vast ten days, the following are noted: H. B. 17, S. B. 107 Amending section 958 of the revlsal relating to the exe cution of deeds of trust. S. Ii. 79 Amending chapter 207 of the revlsal in regard to the moral character of applicants for li cense to practice law. R B. 27 Amending pension law in regard to pensioners who lost both an arm and a leg. S. Ii. Amending ,ectfon 2081 of the revlsal with respect to the administra tion of the marriage rite. ' S. ,B. Amending section 1C39 of the revlsal as to reporting by sheriffs the names of those whp fail to pay poll tax., etc. S. B. Providing against extortion nnd usury by small loan "sharks" when senators Buxton and Webb se verely criticised as swindling poor peo ple who give mortgages on personal property and chattel mortgages by far mers, etc. The senate bill defining what is "In decent" and "immoral" in pictures and exhibitions and providing against the posting and exhibition of the same, on bill boards and in wdndows, in theatri cal halls and in tents at fair grounds, etc. The matter of child labor In cotton mill and other factories will create dis cussion latar on in the session. The on! bill already introduced in the sen ate affecting this question was taken from the calendar last week and re committed, so that the entire question will be prosecuted and discussed at the same time. The coming week will be a busy one up at the cnpltol. and with each suc ceeding week till the 10th of March, thooe charged with the accomplish ment of legislation will grow busier and busier and among these are the legislative clerks and the newspaper reporters, who are bi-ennlally about the hardest worked people in North arolina during the session of the gen eral assembly. The Evening Times will continue to give to the neople of the state full ac counts of the proceedings each day In advance of any and every other paper In North Carolina.
