One other instance. At the battle of Gettysbu,v
certain brigade was hosted to the top Of the ladder
OF praise for having stormed and carried portn
Of the snemy's works. 1t is needless say what S,,
these troops were from; they were not from North
Carolina, or we should never have Heard Of h
grand achievement. Tho Virginia papers pile
Pelion upon Ossa, and day by day bore up mater,
to add to the length breadth and height Of the stu
pendious pile
, And what are the facts! The works were storm
ed and carried in spite of few struggling Yanks.
left behind, the "grand army" having evacu,te
the place and commenced its retreat There b,
been, but little time before, heavy force thor
and had it remained until our assaulting column
arrived it is highly probable that few or non.
the assailants would have escaped. In that ca
had they been North Csroina troops, it wouldhs1
been 4 blunder. But honor to the officers and q.
engaged, for they expected Formidable opposition
aud mention the affair merely to show with VII
facility Virginia editors can magnify mole hills in
mountains when certain troops are spoken Of a
reduce mountains to mole hills when other troo
form their theme. Had North Carolina troops stor
ed these works, the whole affair would most lik.
have been considered . ludcrous Joke or on attem
might have been made to create the impression Ii
they knew the works were abandoned and soug
glory which they knew would be bloodless.
To add insult to injury, It is Also sometimes in
mated that the North Carolina troops are put int
front of the Fight in order that other troops bsbi
them may prevent their running away but none
them have ever Yet been made to fall while 9th
troops have charged over them. Ask Gen. Lee =
ether honest officers why they are so frequent
put in the 'front.' and they will tell you, bscsr
they are reliable. At Yorktown NorthCsrOl
troops were placed in front, and in the retreat fir
that place they brought up the rear. Thus was
post of honor aud OF danger assigned them in b
cases.
