To meet this stronger tome the 2'dh North Carolina of Hansom's biugade was brought up to the crest ,,f the hills by Bansoni in person ,.nd u-t in time to deliver, with I oo, J 1 ' h g'ory ra! i e's .md 'obb s troops and the N.

We repelled this grand attempt, but in doinp it both the lamented Cobb and Cooke were stricken down, the first never to rise, but Cooke, our Cooke, for although not born upon our soil, he was a splendid soldier and a beloved brother of North Carolina's children, iras smitten almost to death, but recovered to lead to the end the men he so fine- Iv commanded and w ho loved him so wll.

A pause of some twenty minutes, and the order was oiven bv the Federals -to put in everything. -T I puote the words of the ollieial reports.

Another fruitless victciy to Cn fi derate valor 1 The publication of the "la-cords of the War" proclaims how erroneous hav e been many of the opinions en tertained and expressed. Likewise it demonstrates how haid it is to reach t he trnt h. By the ollieial returns ot' Lee's army as published in the War Jb-c ords. he had present for duty on the loth day of December, LSHh', --.. 1 To men ;iud ollicers. Of these about odUOO cavalry were not upon the field. His entire loss in kilted and wounded, as given in the report of his medical director was 4,201. In Jackson's corps only about halt the troops had been engaged, while out of Longstreet's corps of five divisions, only Cobb's and part of Kershaw's brigades, Kansom's small division, eight regiments, all North Carolinians, six joining in the fight, and two N. C. regi ments ot Law's brigade, Flood's division, were in actual combat. After most careful perusal of over 1,100 pages of a large sized volume of reports it was impossible to find any return of Iiurnside's army dated previous to the battle However, there does appear one for December .'list, 1SG2, in which there is reported an armv present for duty of lSo,d8fi. But it shall not appear that I would mislead. Two corps, the 11th and 12th, had joined him after the battle with a com bined strength of o.j.335. So that Ip days after the battle, Burnside had li'.hool present for dutii of the rem mime oraanizatiowt icith ichich j ((, you,lh( iL The retnrns of Federal loss show 12,0.13, just about three times as great as that of the Con federates. When we compare the numbers engaged in the actual fighting, and know the conditions of the attack and the defence, there i must remain in the minds ol the ; thoughtful not a doubt but a eonvie , timi error. And while I shall not i animadvert, as I might justly do, upon the extraordinary absence of 1 any returns showing the strenth of Burnside's army before the battle, , I do bring to the broad light the 1 existence of the singular and strik- , ing lact of its omission. To the lovers of faithfully recorded history I shall leave the inferences that j must and will be drawn from it I In this, as in all other battles ' where the soldiers oi Xorth Caro lina took part, their record is written i in their own blootl and in that of : those opposing them. Longstreet's : corps had only 1 7 regiments actual ly engaged ou the 13th of Decem ber. 1SG2 and !) of them were from North Carolina. The loss of his whole corps was less than 1,800, including artillery, aud 803 came from Hansom's division and two North Carolina regiments in Flood's division, nearly a half of the loss 'of his corps falling upon Xorth Carolina, whileoverone third ofthe loss of the whole army was from the devoted sons of our State; and my liieiids. from among the com i.ides I had the honor to know upon the field where men died for our cause, will join me in asserting that only brave men die face to the foe, and in this way yielded up their lives the brothers of whom I now toll you. Whenever and wherever duty called the record declares, and 1 proudly proclaim it here, and shall while I live, that whether from the rugged hills of 2sew F'ngland. the fertile valleys of the Ohio and upper Mississippi or even the far oil shores of the Pacific, or the distant lands beyond the broad At lantic whence came those who did battle (tijainxt us: or whether from our sister States of the South, from the banks of the Potomac and Ohio across the full flowing and majestic lower Mississippi to the Ivio Grande, that sent their sons to bleed and suffer aud die with us, our dead aud our surviving soldiers of the Confederacy from North Carolina were the peers of the bravest and the best, the truest and the noblest. A few sentences of explanation, or as, perhaps, parliamentarians would say, personal privilege, in further vindication of truth and justice to North Carolina's sons. The telegraphic dispatch of Gen'l Loe to Prest. Davis on the 14th of December ignored the part taken by Hansom's division the day prev ious. Fpon returning to our camp from the battle field on the 17th when that dispatch fell under my eye a righteous indignation possess ed me, and to right tbe wrong done my devoted North Carolina soldiers, I wrote to the Agt, General of Gen'1 Lee's army to have the correction made, and declared in that letter, T will not permit to become a part of history a report which dees such gross injustice to the gallant men I that lay had the honor to com mand.'' Cpon that letter is Long street's endorsement in his own hand writing "General Hansom's troops were engaged throughout the battle and were certainly as distinguished as any on the field." Gen'I Chilton, then Gen'l Lee's Adgt. Gen'l, wrote me that Gen'l Lee deeply regretted the injustice, and that we should receive justice in his official report. Like the noble man lie was Gen'l Lee faith fully kept that promise, and did us justice, and Longstreet. too, in his report did likewise: bur I am pain ed to criticise severely his crimnial omission of sinnl ir just'ee in a re recent art hie of a popular magazine; and wl;en lie, was requested by me to'correct his error has failed, thus tar, to respond as becomes the once honored "War Horse'' of the army of Northern Virginia. Among the War records J have placed the oiiginal official papers from winch I make the foregoing statement ot this episode. A few words more am! I shall have liii is lied.

Onslow County Items. A large steam saw mill is being put up on New river near Jackson ville, by Capt. J. W. Lamb of Bal timore. The porpoise fisheries on onr coast are doing well now.

Ward of Swansboro, one of our prominent merchants, is in the hennery business; has 4 or 5 acres in small grain with, some 80 or 100 head of the leathery tribe ; is buying all the time, aud though he says his hens don't lay much we saw him yesterday trudging along with about three pecks of hen fruit in a large box on his shoulder car rying them from the pen to his store. Politics is beginning to boom. About 20 or 30 are spoken of as candidates already in our county affairs. Our people we believe are mostly for Jarvis for Governor first and Alexander next, Cleveland for President and divided between Mc Clammy and Green for Congress. We are in lavor of K. Murrill, Fsq. for the Legislature, but if he wants to be sheriff again we believe he can beat any man in onr county for that position. J. W. Spicer is spoken of for Sheriff, also A. F. Farnell, jr., 11. E. King and T. M. Gilman, Esq. for the Legislature, etc. Our people have been blessed with a glorious rain, and the farm ers are now looking better. Some are done chopping corn and will soon commence on their cotton. Mr. G. W. Smith is one of our largest farmers ; he has this year about .100 acres m cultivation so he savs : has 100 acres in cotton, about 30 in peanuts, 2.1 in melons and Irisu potatoes, 2o in rye and other small grain, 4 in sweet po tatoes aud the rest in corn. .Mr. G. D. Mattocks has GO acres in cot ton. 11$ says this is only a little over halt ol what ne generally plauts in cotton. His corn is terriblv injured by the curlew bugs. One field of 21 acres in coin entire- y ruined by t lie bugs. Mr. Nash Mattocks has a good crop so far. The Production or Apples. No farmer who has the land to pare should be deterred from set ting out an apple orchard of good fruit by the fear of no marrket, or, in other words, overproduction- The population is constantly in creasing, and the apple is the king of American fruits, sought lor everywhere and only in exceptional cues and limited districts is theie m any year sucn au excess over the demand as to render an orchard of good fruit unprofitable. As many as 50,000 barrels ot American apples have been sold in London in a single week and the demand for them is steadily increasing. And England is only one of the many countries to which they are sent. Tbe maafac turers of pure vinegar in this country also make a market foran immense amount of the common varieties. The fear of apple growing being overdone has been entertained by some people, from time to time, for as many as forty years back: never theless a good orchard has continued to be a good thing to have, and it is quite safe to predict that it will be the same hereafter for first class apples of good keeping qualities. The amount exported to countries other has grown to such an extent that it is stated that the value of it is almost equal to one-seventh of the estimated merchandise value of the whole amount produced.

One of our farmer.s thinks the law in regard to shooting part ridges ought to be repealed, as they have been pulling up his corn and he is subject to tine and imprisonment if he kills one. Lie thinks the law was made for the Northern sports men and the city gents who have nothiDg to do through the winter season but hunt. He wants a farmer in the Legislature to look after this thing. We learn that during the past twelve months there has been stolen from the steamer warehouse in Trenton 1,4.10 lbs. of pork and bacon, seven barrels of flour, fifty lbs. of sugar and live boxes of tobacco. Besides this, several smoke houses have been broken into and robbed, and yet tlie thieves are still at large. There seems to be an organized gang, and every good citizen, white or colored, should aid in bringing thorn to justice. Alcohol. Among the curious side issues of the current temperance discussion is the question whether alcohol is a natural product. This'is. I believe, vigorously denied in some quaters. Alcohol, like bread, is manufactur ed artificially from a natural pro dact. In each case fermentation, a I natural process, is made use of. , But while bread is known only as a j product oi manufacture, alcohol appears to be very w idely distiibut ed in nature, though in extremely minute quantities. Nor is this ; at all surprising. If grapes or ! apples, or their j lice, be ex-1 posed to the air, fermentation; sets-in and the sugar and other; carbohydrates are exchanged n alcohol. The ferments which cause the change are afloat in the air all ; abont, and might not unnaturally' attack similar compounds in other vegetable substances. ProfesoC Muntz of the National Agronomic Institute in Paris has by refined chemical tests, discovered evidences ol alcohol in cultivated soils, in rain water, in sea and river water, and in the atmosphere. Ho finds that vegetable molds may contain con siderable quantities, and it appeals probable that the alcohob'origmatos in the soil, from the fermentation of the organic matters in it, and is thence diffused as vapor in the ut mosphere."' Another side issue of our temper auce discussion is the so called 'Bible wine'' theory, which main tains that the wine used in Palestine in the time of Christ was not al coholic. I have been unable to find evidence that the composition of the juice of the grape, the laws of fermentation, or the practice in the making aud using of wine, were different in that country at that time from those in other countries, or in that country at other times: and believe it safe to say that the theory that Bible wine was differ ent from other wine, that it had not the alcohol which other wines contain, is without any basis to support it, in the opinion of the student of science. Of the inexpressibly baneful effects of alcohol, that have made its excessive use one of the worst of the evils of our modern civiliza tion, this is not the place to speak. But there is one matter in this connection about which, I trust, a word may not be out of place. It! is that, great as is the physical evil of alcohol, the moral evil is incom parably greater; that true temper ance reform is moral reform; and that, like every other moral reform, . it wrll be best furthered by the closet alliance with the truth, The moral argument against al cohol seems to me invincible.
