a Battle Picture.

The latest method of "firing the
Northern heart that has yet been at
tempted is that OF reproducing PIC
lures of the battles fought fifteen
wears ago. The New York Graphic of
last Saturday contains a picture of
the battle of South Mountain, drawn
from the original tin soldiers and
wooden horses ip possession of the
artist. It is difficult to conceive of
ANYTHING more detestable in its pur-
pose than this picture, or more ludi-
crously failing in that purpose in exc
oution. The "northern heart that
will be ''fired" by that picture must be
of more infammable material than
punk or tinder.
Tt represents steep hillside, on the
slope of which. drawn up in line of
battle, is Confederate army of fifty
nine men by actual count. Tn their
rear is g. reserve force of forty-four
rebels of the Twenty-third North Ca
rolina. A considerable number of the
rebels strew the fields. and a few das-
tards already turn to flee. In the fore.
ground eighty-nine Union soldiers are
drawn up behind stone fence firing
at the enemy. Notwithstanding the
protection Of the stone fence q
decorous number of gallant Union
soldiers are falling in attitudes of great
acrobatic skill. Calmly on his steed
sits Lieutenant Colonel Rutherford B.
Hayes, pointing with his hand al
nothing in particular. and with his
back turned toward the battle. This
exciting battle picture is entitled

Major EnRaIhard.

This gentleman, the democratic can
didate for Secretary of State, gave the
people of Nash county an agreeable
surprise OH Friday last, by appearing
at Joynel's 8 store about four O'Clock in
the afternoon. He was en- route to
Battleboro to address the mass meet,
ing on Saturday, and hearing of the
meeting at Joyner's about six miles
from Rocky Mount, concluded to at
tend and go on the next morning
When he arrived with DIR. Thorp, the
speaking was nearly over. Captain
Joyner had spoken an hour. Mr.. j. J.
Sharp had occupied the stand
an hour and a half, Dossey Bait
tie th J same length of time. and Mr..
q. w. Robbins three quarters OF ali
hour. But notwithstanding the crowd
was wearied, they rallied to hear the
distinguished gentleman, whose name
is household word in this section.
The Major said he felt more like be-
ing taught democracy ut the knees of
his Nash hearers than to teach them.
He labored under the disadvantage of
not knowing what ground had been
traversed by his predecessors. He
paid Il compliment to the sturdy dem
ocratic yeomsnry of Nash and pro
ceeded to deliver one Of the strongest
speeches to which it has been our plea
sure to listen during the canvass.
Thoroughly posted on State and Ma
tional politics, his figures and facts
astounded the sudience' He illus
trated with apt anecdote and when he
concluded, after an hours speech, we
verify believe the assemblage would
willingly have heard him longer.
We would that this speech could b
heard by every man in Western North
Carolina, especially the portion rela-
ting to the administration of affairs in
his radical-ridden city, Wilmington.

This gentleman paid oar town a
short visit while on his way to Battle
bOrO last week.
The Mail advocated from the first
his claims to the Office of Secretary of
State, and we are convinced now he is
the right man il the right place. His
speech at Joyners on Friday was first
rate-sound in doctrine, impregnable
in argument, we'll fortified with facts,
and red hot in ardor; it carried cOnvic-
tion tt many minds.

not charging, but is safe behind a stone
wall, fighting a smaller number o
men in the open; and Colonel Ruther
ford b. Hayes, so far from leading The
Charge, is sitting in the rear on horse

Colonel Hayes does not show up in
very heroic cOiors. The standard
bearer of his regiment stands on top
OF the stone fence, and does show
some heroism. But no mention is
made of him.
The failure of this thing is pitiable,
but the intent with which it was pub
llshe0 is apparent. We dare say that
Governor Hayes himself felt somewhat
ashamed when he saw that work of
art. Perhaps the less said about
Hayes as a soldier the better. He did
bis duty probably in small way suf-
fciently well, but certainly not with
distinction. Ii this picture is true it
Is the most whitening satire .on his
military services that could have been
devised. How very small it seems
after Grant. Sherman, Sheridan. or
even after the lamented Custer, that
Grantism sent TO disaster and death.
1t is impossible to convert Colonel
Hayes into I gallant soldier in this ec
post factO way. He never made any
reputation for himself during the war.
He was unknown and obscure. In the
day of heroic deeds he was never heard
of. He was good, quiet regimental
officer. possibly; but that was the ut
most that can be claimed for him.
The attempt to convert him into
hero only makes him ridiculous

| TO the Editor of the Journal:
DEAR SIR:-From an abstract point
OF view the tone of Caius' article in
yOur issue of the 3rd inst, seems
eminently proper, and doubtless
benefit may be the result of it in the
management of our sanitary matters
That which now lies in the way of a
complete reform in this department is
strictly chargeable to the law creating
the office of superintendent of health,
and in no wise to the present incum
bent, DIR. Wright, who has faithfully
performed every duty imposed upon
him. The act of Assembly makes him
entirely subordinate to the Mayor,
and requires only the performance of
such duties as may be specially as
signed. So, what deficiency there ex~
lists In the vital statistics of our city
DIR. Wright is not responsible for, and
no means are placed a. his disposal for
perfectlng any organization in that
direction. Instead of his being the
true head of what should be one of
our most important bureaus, he has
merely subordinate details to occupy
him, and those OF us who know how
daily he faces the loathsome features
of the Jail, and how, without shrink
ing, he fought through the pestilence
which he has finally succeeded in
starving out, recognize his great
merit, and see how under a good law
he. could wisely administer the sani-
tary department of our government.
AS now provided for, this department
is under control of persons who, how
ever wise in other directions, are not
by education or experience competent
to its management, involving AZ it does
so many technical and scientific ques-
tions lying out of the region of their
line of Thought.
Doubtless DIR. Wright has considered
all this and looks forward hopefully to
a recasting of the entire Legislation on
the subject.
Until then let us give him our cor
dial support, and point out to him
errors when they exist. His own sug-
gestiOns TO tho Mayor will doubtless be |
received with deferential considera tion,
and perhaps the spur of Caius Philip
pic will bring the needed reform.
