Judge Whitaker stated yes

some fifteen years ago. It was
original with the General and
composed a part of his speech.
Since that time that part of his
speech has "gone the rounds
of the press-' of the United
btates, and. but yesterday
we saw it iu the columns of the
News and Observer, with this
introductory paragraph:
''DEATH OF EDWARD COOPEK."'
N. V. Correspondence Baltimore 8nn."
"There was buried at Green
wood to day a man with a
curious history. He had been a
Confederate soldier, as brave as
any of his comrades, but he
deserted his army during the
war and was tried by court
martial for doing so. Edward
Cooper was his name. For the
Sast year he has been living at
:o. 355 Fourth avenue."
And then follows the story,
a condensed and somwhat
imperfect copy of the original
That correspondent seems to
think that Edward has recently
died, but according to the story
he died during the war
As General Battle is now the
associate editor of this paper
we give it just as he delivered
it. It is so elegant in style, so
full of pathos, that every one
will enjoy reading it. It is one
of a number of such productions
by Gen. Battle which have bean
verv noDular throughout the
A. J v
country.
During tbe winter of 1863 64
it was my fortune to be Presi
dent of one of the courts-martial
of the Army of Northern
Virginia. One bleak December
morning, while the snow covered
the ground and the wind hovvled
around our camp, I left my
bivouac fire to attend the
session of the court. Winding
for miles along uncertain paths,
I at length arrived at the court
c-round. at KouDa uaK tjnurcn.
Day after day it had been our
duty to try the gallant soldiers
of that army, charged with vio
lations of military law; but
never had I on any previous
occasion been greeted by such
anxious spectators as on that
morning awaited the opening of
the court. Case after case was
disposed of, and at length the
case of "The Confederate States
vs. Edward Cooper" was called
charge, desertion. A lo
murmur rose spontaneously
from the battle-scarred specta
tors, as a young artilleryman
rose from tne prisoner s Dencn,
and in response to the question,
"Guilty, or not Guilty?" an
swered, "Not Guilty."
The Judge Advocate was
proceeding to open the prosecu
tion when the Court, perceiving
that the prisoner was unattendec
bv counsel, interposed and
inquired of the accused, "Who
is your counseir ne replied,
"I have no counsel." Supposing
that it was his purpose to repre
sent himself before the court
the Judge Advocate was
instructed to proceed. Every
charge and specification against
the prisoner was sustained, ine
prisoner was then told to intro
duce his witnesses. He replied,
"I have no witnesses." Aston
ished at the calmness with
which he seemed to be sub
mitting to what he regarded as
inevitable fate, i said to him,
"Have you no defence? Is it
possible that you abandoned
your comrades and deserted
your colors in the presence of
the enemy tmaoKf. any reasonr1
He replied, "There was a reason,
but it will not avail me betore a
military court." I said: "Per
haps you are mistaken ; you are
i ... . i .
cnargeu witn me nignest crime
known to military law, and it is
your duty to make known the
causes that influenced your
actions." For the first time his
manly form trembled and his
blue eyes swam in tears. Ap
proaching the President of the
court, he presented a letter, say
ing as he did so. "There, Gen
eral, is what did it." I opened
the letter, and in a moment my
eyes tilled with tears, it was
passed from one to another of
the court until all had seen it,
and those stern warriors who
had passed with Stonewall Jack
son through a hundred battles
wept like little children. Soon
as 1 Bufhciently recovered my
self possession, I read the letter
as the defence of the prisoner. It
was in these words:
My Dtar Hdtcard I have
always been proud of you, and
since your connection with the
Confederate army I have been
prouder of you than ever before.
I would not have you do any
thing wrong for the world; but
before God, Edward, unless you
come home we must die! Last
night I was aroused by little
Eddie's crying. I called and
said, "What's the matter,
Eddie?" and he said "Oh,
mamma, "lmsonungry: ana
Lucy, Edward, your darling
Lucy; she never- complams, but
she is growing thinner and
thinner everv dav. And before
God, Edward, unless you come
home we must die.
Your Mary
Turning to the prisoner, I
ing
asked, "What did you do when
you received this letter?" He
replied: "I made application for
a furlough, and it was rejected;
again I made application and it
was rejected; a third time 1
made application and it was
rejected, and that night as I
wandered backward and for
ward in the camp, thinking of
my home, -with the mild eyes of
Lucy looking up to me, and
the burning words of Mary
sinking in my brain, I was
no longer the Confederate sol
dier, I was the father of Lucy
aud the husband of Mary, and
I would have passed those lines
if every gun in the battery had
been Cred upon me! I went to
my hdxae. Mary ran out to meet
me, her angel arms embraced
me; and she whispered, 'O !
Edward, I am so happy! I am so
flad you got your furlough!"
he must have felt me shudder,
for she turned pale as death and
catching her breath at every
word, she said, 'have you come
without your furlough?' O,
Edward, Edward, go back! go
back! Let me and my children
go down together to the grtive, I
but O, tor Heaven s sake Hive
the honor of our name!' and
here I am, gentlemen. nut
brought here by military power,
but in obedience to the command !
of Mary, to abide the sentence
of your court."
Every officer of that curt
martiaf felt the force of the pris
oner's" word. Before them, stood
in beatitie vi.-ioD. the eloquent
pleader for a husband's and a
father's wrongs but they had
been trained by their great
leader,. Robert E. Lee, to tread
the path of dutv, though the
ightning's Hash scorched the
ground beneath their feet, and
each in his turn pronounced the
verdict. Guilty. Fortunately f in
humanity, fortunately for the
Confederacy, the proceedings of
the court were reviewed by the
Commanding General and upon i
tut! leuuiu ivus niHteu:

The rinding of the court is
approved. The prisoner is
pardoned and will report to his
company.

During the second battle of
Cold Harbor when shot and
shell were falling '-like torrents
from the mountain cloud," my
attention was directed to the
fact that one of our batteries
was being silenced bv the con
centrated fire of the enemy.
When I reached the battery
every gun but one nau been
dismantled and by it stood a
solitary Confederate soldier, with
tne uiooa streaming rrom nis
side. As he recognized me he
elevated his voice above the roar
of the battle and said: "General,
I have one shell left; tell me
have I saved the honor of Mary
and Lucy!'" I raised my hat.
Once more a Confedeaate shell
went crushing through the ranks
of the enemy, and the hero sank
to rise no morn.

Chief Marshal I reu aud
thirty
assistants formed the procession
and moved it at 11 o'clock. There
were eight htiudred Alliance nieD
on foot in tbe parade bearing ban

other grain. There was an immense
line of carriages, buggies, and
wagons. Fully Ave thousand peo
ple were on the streets and nearly
half that number in the parade.
At the stand the Rev. G. W.
Hunt opened the services with
prayer. X. A. Dunning, editor of
the National Economist, spoke for
two hours and a half. He favors
free coinage and the Sub Treasury
bill, and he attacked Senator Vance
mildly.
This afternoon Professor A. Q.

of Mecklenburg, spoke to 3,000
people. Farmers continue to ar

There was not a negro in the

of the parade today was the parade

The Rev. Dr. Deems Falls Overboard.
New Milford, Conn., July 22.
Dr. Charles F. Deems, pastor of the
Church ot the Strangers, New York,
is spending the summer at the
Wrantinang Inu. Last week he
went out on the Housatonic river
for a row, and ran on to a shoal
spot. In bis efforts to get off he
began to pole his boat with his oar.
The oar broke, and Dr. Deems
made quite a figure as he went
over the side of the boat into tbe
water. He was not injured iu the
least, except in his feelings.
The University of Xortli Carolina !Sned
for $10,000.
Raleigh, N. C, July 22. It is
reported that Mr. Kirby Smith, of
Golds boro, has instituted a suit for
810,000 damages against the trus
tees of the University for false
imprisonment. Last June a year
ago, it will be remembered, some
of the boys at the University
commencement indulged in a little
escapade and painted the Caldwell
monument in the campus. Mr.
Smith was arrested on suspicion
and held in custody several hours
the next day. It is understood
that he claims now that the charge
has never been pressed against
him; that he is innocent and that
the guilty parties have been found
out but have not been prosecuted.
He claims 10.00() damages for
false imprisonment and has insti
tuted suit.
Don't Make Governors that Yaj.
The Charleston News and Cou
rier of last Saturday contains the
following paragraph: "Julian Carr,
the tobacco prince of Durham, has
aspirations in the direction of the
Governor's office of North Carolina.
He is making a quiet, but effective
campaign. Last winter be gave
$50,000 for a soldiers' home and
$80,000 to Trinity College and
$20,000 for a female college to be
established at Durham."
The News and Courier is off. It
is true that Mr. Carr gives a great
deal of money in a charitable way.
But he could not, if he wished, buy
his way into the Governor's chair.
That is not the way we make Gov
ernors in this State. We follow
the good old Democratic way of
electing them. Charlotte News.

A horse owned by Paris 11
MathewHon, a Johnston farmer, ;
dispatch from 1'iovidtfiice, 11 I-
says, died Friday of hydrophobia.
In its madness the animal lore us
forelegs tearfully with its tieth
and had to be bound wirli chain-,
ropes and straps to pievtiit its
doing injury to the people woo
were in the vicinity, lhe inie
was Litteu a mouth aj;o l. a
strange dog which wiis evidently
mad, and was substqt.en'lj killed.
The horse did not appear to suffer
from the bite until Thursday
night.
The auimal was one of-a valuable
pair of bays. They had worked
together in a mowing machine all
the afternoon. Wheu about to put
them up for the night tbe farmer
drove the pair into the barnaid,
gave them some water, and left
them in charge of his wife while
he went to the house, lie was
called back to the horses by his
wife. Oue of them had fallen and
1 was ating strange. He separted
the animals and tied up the afitfCt
ed one in the yard. The animal's
eyes had become blood red. A
stringy saliva started from the
mouth and it began to bite at
everything withiu reach. Steadily
its frenzy increased, and the horse
snapped at its own flesh, tearing
out large pieces from the muscular
parts of the forelegs. Mr. Math
ewson securely tied the horse, and
at 10 o'clock at night to stop the
animal from further seltmutilation
tied a heavy 'apron on tbe horse's
neck and thus covered its chest and
legs.
In the morming the crazed horse
was much worse. It had torn off
the "apron" and continued biting
its legs. It bit at everything in
sight. A wheel on a heavy lumber
car was seized by the maddened
brute as though the animal was
determined to make an impression
on the heavy iron tire and rim.
The creature plunger its head
against the barn wall and against
wagons and other things in the

Chains and ropes were thrown
about its neck and fastened to a
pin under a beam. Then Mr.
Mathewson managed to fasten a
strap around the animal's jaws as
a muzzle. This pot an end to the

The Earliest Hospitals.
The first germ of the hospital
idea meets us toward the close of
the second century. At about this
date, in times of war, there were
attached to the lloinan camps a
"valetndinarium" and a veterinar
ium.'' In the former, only those
were treated who were seriously
wounded or diseased; previously
to this time the disabled soldier
would receive such cure as the age
afforded, either in his own tent or
in a neighboring cottage. Under
Tiberias, who paid no little atten
tion to the well-being ot his
soldiers, ambulances with easy
cushions were provided for the
transportation of the 6ick. The
first complete establishment for
the reception of the sick was built
by Basil the Great, at Cresarea, in
Cappadocia (Asia Minor.) soon af
ter he became Archbishop of that
See. (A. D. 370). Once-a-Week.
In one of the Eastern cites there
is a man who advertises that he is
the cheapest printer in the world.
He does fair work, and it is believ
ed does not fall into debt. Yet
what ho does is iu eilect to say:
"Hero am I, the most foolish fellow
in the world. I work eleven or
twelve hours a day, and my daugh
ters woik for me without wages
nine or ten hours a day, that I
may present a portion of our hard
earning to the shopkeepers and
manufacturers of our town. They
are, generally speaking, better off
than I am, and my daughters need
clothes, but I show my generosity
to the rich by giving them my
children's wages. I reverse the
rule of Rob Roy, of taking from the
rich and giving to the poor. They
don't thank me, and secretly think
me a fool: but that is the way 1
was made." This is a fair state
ment of how he looked to outsiders,
and they generally agree that this
ia verv noor philosophy. Who
would help mankind must begin
with himself. But in all the charges,
do vonr work well and leave the
results to , Providence. American

Danville, Va., 23 Several days ago
a Rang of convicts passed through this
city, and among the number was a
white man who was chained to a negro.
The man was sent to the penitentiary
from North Danville for having cut his
antagonist in a fight, and is well known
hora where he has relatives. The
matter has ben much discussed and
thn neoDle are very indignant that the
white man should have been subjected
to such humiliation, especially when
among his own people. Gov. McKin
noy has been written to on the subject
and requested to see to it that the in
dignity is not repeated.
Silver Dale Items.
Log men have, with a few excep
tions, closed business till the fall.
The fruit crop is almost a failure,
There are some apples, but peaches
are a total failure.
The price of turpentine continues
good, which stimulates trade, and
merchants are doing a fair busi
ness. Capt. Terry's mill, we learn, will
soon shut down for the season, and
will resume operations again about
November 1st.
Fine weather and good crops.
All crops are better at this season
than for many years. This is in
deed encouraging to us farmers and
merchants.

candidates for the various offices in

I We are delighted again at the
prospects of the proposed extension
of the Wilmington, Onslow and

route will be run via Stella, which
in our opinion is decidedly the
most practical and most beneficial
route that could be decided upon
by the company.

Sweet Potatoes.
There is a great confusion and
mixture of varieties of sweet pota
toes in N. C. An effort is now
i bciug made at the N. C. Agricul
tural Experiment Station to test
i all known varieties and to aid
i growers in selecting those best
; adapted to home and market use.
j Few growers have any sort perfect
! ly pure, and it will take several
i seasons to get the varieties
straight.
We now have growing eleven
uorts, and will be glad to get any
sorts of local reputation. The
sweet potato crop ought to bring
a great deal of money to our
growers. But they must remember
that the Northern market requires
a dry, yellow potato, while the
home demand is for the soft sweet
yam varieties. We are growing
several sorts suited for Northern
shipment, and hope to find one
more productive than those com
monly grown. The only way to
make money in shipping this crop
North is to grow the kinds they
want, no matter if we here con
sidered them unfit to eat.
MearTVills.
Husbands who profess to love
their wives intensely, sometimes
play them a very mean trick when
about to depart for that better
land where there is "neither marry
ing nor giving in marriage." One
might suppose than a tender spouse,
on the eve of being divorced by
death from the partner of his joys
and sorrows, would be governed in
the disposition of his worldly goods
bp an earnest desire to render her
earthly future a happy one. If he
has a tortune to bequeath - to her,
why should he make a dog in the
manger will, providing that she
shall enjoy it only during her
widowhood? What right has he to
condemn her to a life of loneliness,
under penalty of pauperism, in cafe
she shall marry again! Husband
about to shuffle off this mortal coil,
if you desire to be tenderly borne
in mind by your relicts, don't deal
with them after this contemptible
fashion. Ex.
The Atchison (Kansas) Cham
pion a radically Republican paper,
has created a sensation in that
State by taking a bold stand
against the reelection of Hon.
John. J. Ingalls to the United
States Senate. It bases its opposi
tion on the ground that "Ingalls
has never during his eighteen years
service in the Senate done a
solitary thing in the way of legisla
tion, never secured the passage of
a single measure, never as mnch as
given assistance in good faith to
obtain the enactment of any bill
for the benefit of Kansas, but, on
the contrary, has simply used his
position to advance his personal
interests in politics." This is
certainly very plain talk for a
party organ.
Fear Not Always Cowardice.
When any kind of fear so takes
possession of a man as to destroy
or palsy the antipodal quality ol
courage, then it is that it degene
rates into cowardice. Fear and
courage are counterparts in the
human character, each needing tbe
other to balance and limit it. The
fear of fire, for example, is abic-
lutely essential to preserve life ;
but let it be unaccompanied by
courage, and the pitiable coward
crouches in terror while his wife
and his children perish in the
flames.
A Sad Suicide ih Mecklenburg Comity.
CHAELOTTE, N. C, July 21.
Mattie aged 18, daughter ot the
late Mark Wilson, suicided yester
day at her home in Steel Creek
township, this county while the
family were at ehurch. Desponden
cy caused by ill-health is the cause
She shot herself through the heart
and died instantly. She was highly
educated, beautiful and intelligent.
Many of the customs spoken of
in the Bible are still in use in
Syria, and to those who have been
brought up there it seems very
natural to read of them. Men are
seen sleeping with a stone for a
pillow. Announcements are made
from the hoase-top. When people
start out on a joarney their friends
accompany then for quite a dis
tance. It is the custom to kiss on
both cheeks and for men to fall on
each other's necks and embrace one
another.
They are ill discoverers that
think there is no land when they
can see nothing but sea. Because
it is silly to believe everything,
there are some so wondrously wise
as to believe nothing.
The State penitentiary is now
said to be self-sustaining. There
are now 1,358 convicts there, of
which 233 are white, and the ex
penditures for the past quarter
were only $53,148 while the earn
ings were $60,364.

THEY LIKE TO TAKE A FLYEE IN

"Do you know that there are be
tween 300 and 400 women who
speculate in Wall street T" said a
Virginia woman, now engaged in
the stock brokerage business in
New York, while in conversation
with a reporter the other day
"Most lady speculators are bulls,''
she continued. "They buy, do not
sell often. I do not know why this
is so. I know that when I was
speculating I was a buyer. I have
had twelve customers thus far. I
expect to have orders by mail from
all over the country. I have al
ready bought for Virginia ladies
and for one in Boston.
"It is easy to make money in
stocks if one only keeps one's eyes
open. Of course if you buy at ran
dom you are iu great danger of
losing. I suppose there are ladies
who fancy that all they have to do
to get rich is to throw some money
into Wall street. This is a very
great mistake.
"Most of the ladies who speculate
are women of means who want to
increase their wealth, but there are
a good many who only have a few
dollars, say $20 or more, and invest
it here and make."
THE COACHMAN BOUNCED.
Mrs.
HARRISON'S DISLIKE FOE THE
"NIGGEE"
Washington. D. C, July 21.
Albei t Hawkins, the negro roach
man at the WThite House for the
past quarter of a century, has been
discharged and his place given to
an English dude with terracotta
sidewhiskers. It is said that
Mrs. Harrison expressed a desire
to have a "swell'' English coach
man, uence the poor darky had
to go. It is not known whether the
Englishman is imported contract
labor or not. Hawkins has been
coachman for all the Presidents
Johnson to Harrison, and is a most
experienced and trustworthy
man.
He is better known to the people
of Washington than President
Harrison, indeed, when jolly, big
black Albert is on the box the
people on the streets have no diffi
culty in guessing who the little
man ia in the W hite-House carriage.
Last year a number of colored
servants -employed at the White
House were discharged and French
maids and waiters were substitu
ted. Occasionally we hear of some of
our young men going west in
search of better times. To all such
we say, stay home young men, and
be assured that you will find no
better country Hnder the heavens
than this great and grand old State
of North Carolina ; ever remember
ing too that there is no place like
home.
