We call general attention to the following extract
from letter IN the Richmond Enquirer of the 22d
instant The letter is endorsed in an editorial as
containing accurate and reliable information upon
the late great battle" We will presume that the
letter is devoted to account OF the part taken by
Pckett's Division in the battle of Gettysburg. The
style of the writer is after the manner of Abbot
and Headey. After detailing with great effuson of
rhetoric, the superhuman gallantry Of Gen. Picketts
men upon Friday he proceeds
"Now Pettigrews command emerged from the
woods upon Pickett's left and swept down the slope
of the hill to the valley beneath, and some two or
three hundred yards in OF Pickett. l saw by
the wayering of this line they entered the con-
flict that they wanted the frmness Of nerve and
steadiness of tread which characterized Picketts
men, and that these men would not could not stand
the tremendous ordeal to which they would be soon
subjected. These were mostly troops, which
had been recently brought from the South, and. who
had, perhaps, never been under fire-who certainly
had never been in any severe fght-and l trembled
for their conduct"
Thus having conducted the "brave Virginians" Z"
into the enemy's works" and hearing " their glad
shouts of victory he again turns his batteries up
on Pettigrew thus:
"Let US now look after Pettigrew's division.
Where are they now? While the victorious shout
ofthe gallant Virginians is still ringing in my ears,
l turn my eyes to the left and there all over the
plain in utmost confusion, is scattered this strong
ulNlSlOn. 1nelr llUe lS' UTOheuj luey are uylnR,
apparently panic stricken, to the rear. The gallant
Pettigrew is wounded but he still retains command
and is valnly striving to rally his men. Still the
moving mass rushes pell NELL to the rear, and Pick
EFT is left all alone to contend with the hordes of
the enemy now pouring in upon him on every side"
1t will not be pretended that the Enquirer did
not know that Pettigrew's Division Che was acting
as Major GeneraD was composed principally, per-
haps altogether of North Carolinians 1t was made
up of his own and other brigades. The Progress of
yesterday contained the sad record of the ruin of
the 26th Regiment in that brigade; -" Killed SO
Wounded 483; Aissing 87". Enough is known of
the other regiments to assure US that the brigade
has been literally destroyed. Most of the counties
in this State are in mourning! Hardly man in
the State but has lost friendl Yet the solenanI-
ties of this funeral occasion to North CaroliBa
to DO polluted by the baseness and falsehood Of this
hireling of the Press,-of whom it may be aDubted
whether he was ever in Pennsylvania in all thA
course of his miserable life And his saaders are
to be endorsed by paper widely circulated through
the South, and visiting many households in North

VINO CALLS FOR WAR.-Prince Eugene, who was
one OF the very ahlest among the renowned generals
q o. hls day, and who gained honor in many well
lationt to war: "The thirst of renown sometimes in.
sinuates itself INTO councils under the hypocrit
cal garb of national honor 1t dwells on imaginary
insults-it suggests harsh and abusive language
and people go from one thing to another, tilt they
Pnt an end to the lives of half million of men.
The call for war proceeds generally from those who
have no active share in its tolls ministers soone
and the lOuaging politicians of large toson." We
would add governmental contractors, office holders
and spectators. These too derive benefits, and
suffer not by war.

SOUTH CAROLINA STATE TRooPs.-The Governor
of South Carolina has issued proclamation declar-
ing that "the present exigencies of the service
require the completion of the organization recently
begun under the Presidents call upon the Governor
of this State for five thousand troops for service
within the State for six months from the 1st of Au-
gust next" He therefore directs the five thousand
men to be raised from those between 40 and 45, and
others, and orders elections for officers for the regi-
ments. Other States yield their conscripts to the
President to be sent to distant fields, but South
Carolina is determined to keep five thousand of
hers home Destructives will contend that this is
all right but those who may say that North Carolina
owed it to herself to pursue the same course, will
be denounced as malcontents and traitors South
Carolina does as she peaseS, and is praised for it,
while North Carolina does as she is told to do, and
gets no thanks for it. Mr. Lincoln Furnishes US be-
cause we seeded in 1851, and Mr.. Davis Furnishes
us because we did not secede when his State and
South Carolina seeded.
