WEDNESDAY. JULY 8. 1899.


On the assumption that up to the 25th of
June, the rebels had been winning uninter-
rupted victories, the Richmond Wing of that
date discoursed as follows:
The whole experience of the war is an at
testation of the truth long since discovered by
impartial observers, that the maSter-race of
this continent is found in the southern states.
Of better stock, originally, and habituatcd
to manlier pursuits and exercises, they have
ruled in affairs of state by force of the strong
er will and larger wisdom that pertain to and
distinguish superior races of men, while on
the field of battle they have in every contest
held a priority of place, conceded to them by
their present adyersaries.
Whether this high assumption of mastegship
still clings to them after the experience of the
week following, time has not yet shown. Ger
tainly, during the hours of actual fighting,
with many obvious advantages in their favor,
they werS day after day driven from pillar to
post with great loss, every night giving them
opportunity for their defeated to retire, and
fresh men to come forward to renew the fight
This could not last always; and after follow
ing our army to James river, they ventured
contest for the present. The Wing contin-
ues =
With us the contest is one for hereditary
rights, for the sacred things of home, for the
old repute of the better blood-with the Yam
kee it is a rebellious and infatuated struggle
for place he is unworthy of, for privileges he
would degrade, for property he would barter,
and for institutions he could neither compre-
bppl apiON- ;s tlo a ,,,I Il
ing strife between patrician and proletarian,
between gentle and vile. 1t is the offer of
battle on new field of muscle against spirit
numbers against courage.
Unfortunately, this contest has not come to
its final issue. The fact that such insanity
as this still prevails, reminds us hoc unfor-
tunate it is that the issue is postponed. But
though postponed the future is still secure to
those who will deserve to be saved. There
may be some-not many-who think the
proper duty of loyal people is serviEty to
this master race" there are few who would
if they had the power, make the people to
whom they belong the servie race. But the
twenty millions who have grown great and
strong and prosperous, under the benignant
influence of free principles, do not think
ii is best, and are called upon to give a diff
terent Judgment. They have strong arms,
brave hearts, good cause the example OF
those who have gone before, and-saving one
weakness which will sometime be rene
died-the sympathy Of as much of the world
as is worth having, on their side. These are
desirable advantages and when they are de-
Gently used will speedily settle this matter

mile below the junction, near the Western

from New York, last night, about half past
ten o'clock. His body was completely cut in
two, and was mangled in the NEST shocking
manner. He was lying across the track as
the train approached him, but it was impossi-
bic to check the speed of the cars till the train
had all passed over him. Rum was the cause

ture of our brave Philadelphia general Dur
ing the battle he had been wounded slightly,
my informant thinks in the arm, but the in

cause him to leave the field. Some hours at
ter, accompanied by an aid, he rode into
piece Of woods, for the purpose of or
dering body of our troops he be-
lieved to be there to fall back, when a
body Of rebels suddenly advanced and ordered
him to halt. AT the same instant one of the
vandals seized his horse by the rein, and, be-
fore the general could draw his pistol or sword,
he was prisoner. The aid escaped, but not
without having volley discharged at him,
Fortunately none Of the balls struck him.
The intelligence Of the safety Of Pennsyl-
vania's favortc will be received with gratifi-
cation by his friends and admirers throughout
