A DITCH THAT DID DOUBLE Duty

A DITCH THAT DID DOUBLE Duty
Public attention is becoming fixed on
Yorktown. Thanks to fortune, and to
France, it will close the long list of pa
triotic Celebrations so-called. We
should enjoy visiting Yorktown, not SO
much to see the sights or hear the
unbottling of Revolutionary elo-
q%uence, as to revisit the grounds, five
miles from Yorktown, where, on the
5th day Of May, nearly an hundred
years after CORVALLIS surrendered,
Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan was taught a
piece of military wisdom, viz: that al
though a Lion may retreat from the
presence of pursuing foes, it isn't wise
to crowd him until you step on his tail.
Mcclellan had Us, 900 men at York
town, and if he had not stepped on
Longstreet's tail at Williamsburg, might
easily have surrounded and captured
Richmond, which at that time was un-
fortified. But he got such a 'swipe"
between the eyes from the flying foe,
forced to turn "at bay" for "a hours,
that two precious weeks Of time were
lost; and then it was too late.
The writer's command, In that battle,
after driving the enemy for more than
half a mile through the woods, was
brought to halt In a shallow ditch on
the brow of a ridge, where We lay from
4 p. IN. until the order to retire at mid
night. Repeated charges were made
by the Blue Coats but the ditch was
low enough, and broad enough, for our
men to recline at full length, resting
their guns in front, SO that the Federal
bullets flew overhead whereas each
time the Blue line appeared among the
underbrush, a sheet of fame flashed
along the ditch, aud away went the
visitors
The ditch which looked like a mere
depression IN the ground, was said by
old Willlamsburgers to be one of La
tayettes trenches or parallels, as he
was forcing in the British outposts. 1t
certainly was Of very ancient origin, as
there we're large trees growing ia it.
The writer recollects seeing Gen. Roger
A. Pryor, whose brigade came UP in
p~rolongatlon of the line to our Right.
stretched in rear a large oak, during a
very fierce squirt by the lead musche-
to- s. The colonel Of the l4th Louis
lana, who was very sick, but had come
into the fight, lay behind another large
tree, and called plaintively for water.
The writer carried him a cantcen. and
remembers looking with longing eyes at
The shelter afforded by the thick trunk.
1t may be proper to say there was moth
ing disgraceful in the attitude, as the
trees We're on the edge OF the ditch. aud
1t was a duty to seek all possible pro.
t lection. SO long as We we're stationary in
inc; that is not advancing.

One of our warm-hearted and ex
citabie friends chides us for writing so
heartiessly and Observation-Disclosures about
our hero martyr President, etc. etc.
Ii Is a great mistake. The Farmer and
Mechanic during its entire history has
been noted for taxing the weaker side
against the strong, and expressing tic
admiration of noble qualities even In the
case of IN enemy. Bat while sympa-
thiz;ng with true heroism, 1t de-pises

Even B!aiue, and Lincoln, an his
warmest personal friends could get no
nearer than the ante chamber Of the
room in which he lay. Not ever a
minister of God was allowed to pray
with him in the final hour; though he
was known to be dying for two days be-
fore his breath ceased. 1t is said ten
thousand people We're sitting up IN
New York, Philadelphia, and elsewhere,
awaiting the Geographic click that told
Of death, for everybody knew the hour
was drawing nigh.
But granting that he died like a hero,
and that his death was a serious calam-
ity to the Nation, leI us speak of him,
and mourn for him, as mel who know
how to %sympathise, but not to ''gu-h,'

be famous IN history, on many accounts;
but its record for suicides will be with
out a parallel since the year when the
French Government abolished Jesus
Christ. 1t would be within reason to say
that u thousand persons have killed
themselves during six months past in
the United States. In the Philadelphia
Ddtiy Record, for Sept. Goth, there are
20 less than six cases reported, all oc-
curing the previous day. ard of course
only including a small proportion of the
real number; for many cases are never
announced in the press.
aurora, H., Sept. 29.-Last night
as A. P. Rogers was on his way home
from work he met his wife walking with
another woman. Taking his wife by

her in the back. The ball took effect in

lower part of the body. He then put
the muzzle of the revolver to his own
head above the right temple and fred,
expiring in a few moments. Mrs. Rog-

GARFIELD GUsH.-''It was 329 days
from Garfeld's election t. his burl1,
and not to his death, as was stated yes
terday."- Charlotte Observer. Meth
er is correct. IN rie,o of the recent
''gush' of Democratic n.ourners for the
Heath of Garfield, their journals ought

How will this answer for %'loilty ?"
But we have nothing to say against it.
We did not unduly assail Garfield in life
and we do not unduly praise him in

BEWARE THE DOG IF our readers
could see the continual reports of death
by hydrophobia that come to us ia our
exchanges, from ali parts of the land,
they would join in the call for a Dog
Law Last week two horrible cases
were recorded, n in Chicago, and one
in New Jersey. The latter was a wo-
man. weighing $50 lbs, who had been
bitten BY an little pet puppy which she
was lifting oFer a fence. When she
felt the mad poison rushing through
her veins she had the family to tasten
her in a SIN Ill room, with arms and legs
firmly bound. As the paroxysm in
creased she broke the ropes, and raved
a%round'the room, swapping and biting,
and frothlng at the mouth, while her
bowling terrified the neighborhood.
Death was a blessed boon when it came
to relieve her.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN PA stranger
might suppose that Yeargan, Petty &
Co. were gone clean daft" Nearly
every day last week they could be seer
hauling large loads Of goods from the
depot to their mammoth store, until
there was a perfect pyramid of boxes
and in a few hours they would be busy
hauling them back to the depot again.
What did it mean? Well, it meant :
Business - The boxes were direct
from the factory (Mr. Yeargan is up
North shipping a splendid stock for fall
and winter); and SO well selected that
they hardly touch the store floor before
Maj. Petty gives the order to Right
About, and march out to their custo-
mers in the 500 stores within one hun
dred miles of Raleigh. Good for our
growing Wholesale trade!
