SI NN, Proprletomi. VOL. V The Match Tax. The tax on matches is one of the moat onerons of the hardens of the Internal Revenue system, in that it is ar article of necessity and falh up on the poor equally with the lich, the tax being about three times the cost of the matches. Kw snch a tax grinds the poor is visible in the fig ures of the leceipts of the Treasury from it, which were mure than $3, 606,000 for the fiscal year 1881. It is a tax against the poor man in another respect. It serves to prohib it him from manufacturing the article, for the tax must be paid by stamps stuck upon every bundle before its sale. j. Such a business cannot be ctr rird OB by anyone who does not com maud anextraordinary amount of cash ! capital in addition to the snm invested in machinery and material, The result is that the tax has driven this branch f manufacture-, into the control of a few monopolists, who are interested to maintain it in order to Hnrivent the competition which would arise.frooi throwing the business open j td ftersons ' who possess little capital. borne cnance m xne xnieruai iveve- nu'e system is a necessity -even if it is agreed tbat.it should not be entirely anoiisueu. -r.,.,,-, JLoyr Can They Get It 1 " The great agitators Jor woman suf frage live in, Massachusetts, Every vjHutef ihej assail i h& Legislature for m:ore ights.T M hey' have seenred far better,' facilities for education, more equitable laws as to property and the guardianship of children. They have suffrage in school matters, and they; want equal suffrage at the ballot box Tbe question remains; will they ever get it and how? V "The majority ;f women in the counti y do uot ; want the - ballot." There is great force in this statement, ami ;il 4b just there the difficulty cctnea in for the female suffrage agi tator. It is an undoubted fact that the majority have not yet atked for the ballot It seems to be taken for granted that when a a;ajoxity of the women do ask, they, will be permitted to vote.' It is uot quite certain that men would yield and give the ballot to women, even when they all ask it; but it is more than likely they would. ; But the fact is, that in providing for mate suffrage, men have not wait ed to be asked. -They have passed laws allowing' foreign-born men to be- -come voters, even tnougn not nan avail .themselves 7f , the privilege. The cen8USf.hows, thntofthe foreign ers permitted by law to become citi zens ; and voters in v Massachusetts, when tb is suffrage question is so fiercely agitated, 70.000 have been naturalized and -i 80,000 have-: not. But the right lasts whether they avail themselves of it or not. ' But women must fight to win the pi ije. J They - must show that they care enough abont it to ask for it. So the. work of the reformers must be directed to educating women up to comprehending the value of a vote; and iir, that very assertion lies .the weakness of -the so called r forru movement. Jf there was any inher ent: tight to and nect6ity for wo man's vole, there would bo no need to talk a- out educating her up to the standaid t f demanding it.

It is try from a repetition of Credit Mobil-i high time such a blot should be re- ier and like disgraces of the past. The Mississippi. The recent great floods in the: lower Mississippi, which submerged a large portion of the most productive land in those States, and carried untold privation, suffering and death among a Kpulatiou larger than that of some entire States is a matter demanding the attention of the statesmen and law makers of our nation. The frt qnency of disastrons overflows of the Mississippi, and the magnitude of tle resnlt invest the subject with in importance which deserves consid eration by Congress. The main artery of trade and commerce, afford ing a natural outlet for the products of a dozen States, and an inlit for large importations, its improvement is essential, even if considered in a purely material point Jof view. A hundred thousand lives were sacri ficed, an.d five hundred millions of treasure expended in a contest for the control of this mighty stream, which unchecked, is far more pow erful for destruction than contending armies. There is also a higher and broader duty than that of fostering trade, which the United States owes to its citizens. That duty is to protect them by all practical methods from the destructive power of the elements. This duty the general government has recognized by the erection of lighthouses and establishment of bar bors of refuge along the thirteen thousand miles of sea coast, and of signal service stations throughout the country. Scientific safeguards are thus thrown around the lives as well as the property of all. The waters of half a continent fall into the Mississippi, and their perma nent control by a comprehensive sys tem is of vital importance to millions of people. Such a system can be adopted and carried out only by the general government. States may do and have done something towards self protection but a century of ex perience in isolated efforts to secure safety shows nothing but failure. 'J he strong and generous hand of a rich and powerful nation should be put to the work of speedy and absolute pro tection. The work is a grand one and in no sense local. When it shall be completed transports laden with government rations, to supply the starving refuges from fifty thousand square miles of flooded lands, will not again be needed. Mormonism. Utah, the blot on American civili zation, is stretching out its arms and profeelytiug even iu North Carolina. The, doctriue-of polygamy,- which is offensive to good morals, and which is in violation of the laws of the laud, has there been elevated, in the minds jf a large majority of the people, into religious duty. Polygamy the having more than oue wile listed n doubt in the early days of the race. Judging from the records that have. Come down to us, it was the constant cause of alienations and bittercess, and did not conduce to the interests of the family, or to the best developmen tof the people who practiced it. True to a higher instinct, modern civilization condemns it. There is not to-day a country on the globe, win re the people have risen above the level of baibaiian?, in wbich it is tolerated. Yet the people of Utah hold to the custom and practice of polygamy in defiance of morality, of iiiiiversal public sentiment, and of the laws of the land. The case is more perplexing, ht- aine the population tf the Tcnitory nnv large enough to entitle i 10 ihii8Mou as a State. Should itf be admitted bv ('outness, it would be jj'l'it-t-d beyond the reach ol the law against o;ygamj, wntcn is in ti.rce i-hlv in the Territories; for Congress cannot pass a law to abolish polyg amy in a State. In this as well as in some other matters the doctrine of "Slate Rights' occurs, ami the Slate is independent of 1 he. national govern ment. Oj the other hand, the territoiy of Utah U so populous that loiigtr gov janmei.t of tha community tmni Washington is difficult. In spite id all th.it can be done the law agaiuet polygamy is not enforced. The Mor mon inhabitants make disobedience cf it a point of conscience and a reii"- ious obligation.

The late Mr. Sumner called slavery and polygamy "twip reljcs of barba" : risni." The term wa& justly applied; and wkile the strong arm of the migred from our land. ERNE Independent in NEW BERNE, N.

On the hills in the valleys I spread over fields hidden in the ! woods around Gettysburg were 200, lOOO men making ready for a terrible I battle. I In the giay of morning one could ! hear the Thirp of birds in the or. jchards and the lowing of cattle in the j pastures. It was a glorious morning. ; The sky wus without a cloud, and a 1 slight breeze riffled across the wheat 1 fields and rustled the leaves of the I apple-trees. A hundred thousand I men were aw ike and moving before ! there was a flush in the East. When i the sun showed his face to the world it looked down upon two armies ready to begiu their bloody work. Hill and Ewell were there the day before Longstreet and Lee had come np after midnight Howard was there l)-nb!eday was ready for i another batth Hancock was order ing more artillery to the defense of ! Cemetery Ridge. The Second, Fifth land Sixth Corps were coming up, ' some of the brigades in the first on i the double quick, and, the music of : hands and the tap of drums were ! heard evtrvwtiere.

MAKING READY. t From daybreak to o o clock one 'standing ou Bound Top could see ! regiments, bri trades and divisions 19 . o . '. raoviner in every direction. Guna were slowly brought into position gaps filled, ammunition brought up. The Federal lines were slowly poshed out until they reached a front of fixe miles, and Lee must push out his lines to cover the same front. Fol lowing the hi I Ik and key points the Federal lines bent almost in the shape of a horse-shoo. Lee could not con form to this, but his lines described a crescei.t, witb his choicest troops and best guns at i oints most exposed. Slocum's Twelfth Corps was opposite Ewell: Howard was opposite Hill; Sickles was opposite Longstreet. Meade reported to the committee on the condnct of the war that he had between 05,000 upd 100,000 men on the field ot Gettysburg, ljee s re port placed hi fighting force at G2.- 000 men. Davis says tuoee figures were exact. Confederate reports now in the archives of the government eive the force at 60,000. Coufeder ate reports Bay Lee left Virginia with less than 70,000 men, and deducting for cavalry off on raids, guards, de tails and Btrairelers, they insist that he con Id not have had over 65,000 men on the field that day. WAITING. A t 9 o'clock in the moraine the whole of the Federal army was in position except Sedgwick's Corps, the head of which was yet fifteen miles away, and the Fifth Corps, which had a march of ten. Then the rumble of cannon wheels and the tramp of men was hushed Ten o'clock came and silence con tinued. At 11 o'clock most of the men weie lying do ti in line. Aided and orlerlien riihlu I here and theie, but not a mti.-kt I broke the etillness. It. wab noon y the clocks in the houses ol Gettysburg, and yet there had bei n n i dvaiice. That waiting meant much. Lee had seen thai the Federal position was well-nigh impregnable. Meade had seen that the Confederate posi tion was scarcely inferior. If Meade moved out to attack Lee had the ad vantage. If Lee moved out he must be defeated. Stand to-day where Howard held the center that morning and you will affirm that insertion. Meade was waiting for Lee to attack Lee was uniting for Meade. That was why the bonis slipped past and the clocks struck again and again. Every hour was a loss to Lee. Two Federal corps had swung into posi tion since sunrise. Every hour was a gain to Meade. Sedgwick and Sykes were comiug up, and every regiment in both corps was a stone wall.' "somebody blundered." Confedeiate military writers say that Jiee intended to attack a suu rise. Indeed, his orders for such a movement are on record. He had realized that Round Top was the key of the whole field, and Longstreet was ordered to mass and attack. The rising sun was to be his sigual, aud had he hurled his corps against that hill at that early hour he must have captured it. -But som body utun dered orders miscarried, or were not understood, and instead ot at tacking at sunrise Longstreet was not j ready at noon decision. Lee must attack. It is too j late now to retreat. He planned for a out tie in rVnnsyivama, and it is ready for him. At half-past 3 o'clock, just as the first regiment of Sykes corps comes limping np, a move is seen all along the Confederate front, and every Federal springs to his feet. There is to be an attack all Terms $B.OO 'or "Vo.r. NO. 4. along the Federal front, but the real movement is against Sickles, who has thrown a Dart of bis lorce out in front of Bound Top as a further pre caution against a sudden surprise. Boom! The voice of that single cannon had scarcely echoed the fields, when there came a crash of Artil lery which made the hilltops shake. One could count the explosions at I fir8t. bu' "to"" tbree or foQ' minutes one tremendous crash which Heav- en's thunderbolts 11 never equalled, Hill thundered-Ewell thundered- Longstreet made the earth rock der the wheels of his cannon as , he paved the way for a dash at Sickles, and over Sickles to Bound lop. Un - der cover of the smoke his lines are loiiuiu. nuuu pmctB uiioseii at ine head of one division Mcliaws at the I. , , . . . . head of the other. At 4 o'cloek the fire of artillery ceases and the columns-move out. Meade knew what was coming, lie knew where the heaviest blow would fall, and be was conferring personally with Sickles when the cannonading began. He had thirty minntes to prepare for the infantry attack, and he lost not a moment. SICKLES CARRIED AWAY. The instant the Confederates , . . w ,,c, moved out, every Federal gun could be brought to bear was turned upoh them, and Sickles braced him self for the shock. There was no halting by the Confederates no giv ing Jvay by the Confederates no giving way by the Federals; 20,000 men moved as one a mighty battering-ram faced with steel. A living wall of 20,000 men stood firm to re ceive the blow. A rush, a cheer, and the shock comes. For the. next ten minates on that mile and a half of front men used the bayonet. Lines were broken, and blue and gray were mixed in a mob. Then the impetus of the Confederate wave began to tell, and Sickles was pressed slowly back. He would not retreat, but he could be pushed off his feet by lhe greater force. UNDER TIIK PEAfTI TREES. As Sickles' lines arc gradually pushed back over the broken ground, three or four brigades cut loose from Sykes and come to his assistance. The new lines form across a meadow over a highway under the peach trees, and -stretch out toward the pines at the base of Hound Top. They are going to stop the advance of McLaws right there, but it will require some terrible fighting to doit. Every man in Longstreet's corps knew that to gain that hill was to gain a victory over Meade's w hole army, and they cheered as they rushed upon the Federal bayonets. Every Federal likewise realized the importance of the. position, aud men died in their tracks sooner than yield the ground. Again and again Mc laws gathered his Texans in hand and threw them at this or that point, but he met a firm line everywhere. In the peach orchard the fight was a struggle between savages. The Tex ans charged there as many as five times before they got a foothold. How anyone ever lived under that terrible Federal fire is one of the mysteries of war. It is one continu ous, crash of musketry, so coolly de livered that every man was a t ir get. Peach trees as large as a man's leg were cut down by bullets, and rocks in the line of that firo were marked hundreds of times. Five o'clock found the struggle, growing fiercer. At 6 o'clock it was terrific At sundown the Confederates had slowly pushed Sickles back until he bad to be again reinforced t hold bis ground. Two thousand dead men were lying between Seminary Ridge and Sickles' lines hen the stars came out and the clash of iu died away in sullen growls. Sickles had been wounded, and the soil had drunk deeply of some of the Lest blood in his corps. hood's ASSAl'I.T. Hood and bis Texans had rbaiged directly at Round Top, and the hist rush almost carried it. He had no J skirmishers to lead the way, but charged in solid lines with duets which were heard above tl 6 loar ol artillery. There should ha I fen. a Federal divuion on that hill. There was not a full regiment there. The Federal line should have rested its flank on the slope as it stretched away across the peach orchard. That; flank was a hundred rods away, leaving a gap through which whole brigades rushed without inciting a foe. The gray wave is at the 1 ase of Round Ton when the few Fed , erals at the summit open fire, and reinforcements are hurried forward. Artillery can be used up there, hut men must drag the guns up by hand. In a wild, frenzied mob, lines broken and officers and ni' n mingled, the Texans swarm up the slope and ral ly at its crest, lhey are too They have readied ihecust oi It Top, but can they hold ii" THE FIGHT on Tilt i -111 rT.
