TERRITORY OF DAKOTA In District Court.

Louis Is. Gregory
The National tribune., 1882-12-07

General Lee formed the determination to
move his army to such position north of the
Rdppahannock as should compel Hooker to
attack him, where, with the advantage that
choice cf position would give him, he might
reasonably hope for success.
General Lee, therefore, manouvred to
draw the Army of the Potomac from its i'm
pregn5ble position and free the State of
Virginia from the presence of the Union
forces. BY transferring the theatre of war to
Northern soil he reaped the double advan-
tage of collecting supplies for his army from
the loyal States and of instiDjng new hope
into the hearts of the people of the South.
BY strange oversight General Halleck
had failed to notify General Milroy of the
advance of Ewells cavalry corps down the
Valley, and he had no means of Judging Of
the force with which he had to contend
until the head of Ewells column was upon
him. He made such resistance as was pos
sible, and, in the attempt to avoid surrender,
lost one-third of his command and all his
artillery and supplies

Building Up tAe Grand Army.


We hope our readers will not lose sight of
the plan inaugurated by this journal for sec
onding the efforts of Commander-in-C Chief
Vandervoort in building up the membership
of the Grand Army and establishing new
Posts 1t is capable of being made most eff
fectiye means for extending the influence and
fostering the growth of the Order, and there
is nothing to prevent its universal adoption
AS we have repeatedly pointed cut, all that
it is necessary to do IN order to secure the
establishment of Post of the Grand Army
where one does not already exist, is simply
TO secure the consent of ten honorably-dis-
charged soldiers or sailors to unite in an
application for a charter and to forward
their names to this office. On receipt of the
names we engage to communicate at once
with the proper authorities and see that the
necessary steps are taken to muster-in the
Post. There are thousands of our ex-soldiers
who remain aloof from the Order simply for
the reason that they do not know what it is
requisite for them to do to secure admission
to it, or because there happens to be no Post
in their vicinity. What we want to do is to
facilitate their entrance into the Order. The
place for all our veterans is in the ranks of
the Grand Army. There they will find the
spirit of patriotism still dominant and the
feeling Of comradeship more powerful than
party prejudice, social rank, religious creed,
or business ties. 1t is to-day the most noble
organization, alike in its objects and its
principles, that man ever founded, and there
is not a soldier in the land who would not
be benefited by Joining it. Let no one i'm
agne for moment that it is a part of its
mission to perpetuate sectional animOsities.
Our veterans cherish no feelings of hate for
the men who fell in the vain endeavor to
establish the southern confederacy, and
they long since clasped hands with the sur
vivors across the graves Of the dead. The
mission Of the Grand Army is to heal rather
than open the wounds received in that glO-
rious struggle; to perpetuate the princi
pies of patriotism and honor and self-sacri-

The Gettysburg Campaign.

In his interesting narration of service as
utant-General of the Army of Northern
Virginia, Colonel Walter II. Taylor claims
for General Lee that he held that "it was q
part of true defensive policy to take the
aggressive when good opportunity offered ;
and by delivering an effective blow to the
enemy, not only to inhict upon him serious
loss, but at the same time to thHart his de-
signs of invasion, derange the plan of cam
paign contemplated by him. and thus pro-
long the conflict"
1t was evident to the confederate COM
mander that General Hooker, having reoccu-
pied the heights of fredericksburg with his
army, could not be dislodged or even attacked
except at great disadvantage. NOT caring to
be the attacking party in a great battle,

hIr. Porter is now universally recognized as
the a5lest statisHcian in the country, and it
Is a significant proof Of the esteem in which
he Is held that the New York Tribune has
engaged him at handsome salary to pursue
his economic Investigations in its interests

select, and by this time he is doubtless on

Co1nussEoEER DUDLEY's report of the
operations Of the Pension Office shows that
at the close of the fiscal year ending June

navy widows, minor children, and depend
ent relatives, 1853; survivors Of the war Of
1872, 7,l3f; and widows Of those who served
in that war, 24GGI There were added to
the roll during the year the names of 27GGl
new pensioners, and the names Of G19 whose
pensions had previously been dropped were
restored to the rolls, making an aggregate
increase to the roll of2s, ,3I3. The names Of
11,446 pensioners were dropped from the
rolls for various causes, leaving q net in

notice many of these articles credited to the

call the attention of the Rural World and the

THE TAXES on distilled spirits now in
bond, and which are not payable until the
spirits are taken out of bond, amount, it is
estimated, to about $7O,OOO,OOO, or enough
to meet the requirements Of the pending
Equalization Of Bounties bill. If the excise
taxes are repealed, this immense sum of
money, which rightfully belongs to the
Government, viii be surrendered to the
distillers-it viii be equivalent to making
a present of it to them. Are our ex-soldiers

THE Gettysburg Star and Sentinel of No
vember 22d has an account of one of the
most brutal exhibitions of rebel hate that
has occurred since the war. THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE has nothing to do with the occas-
ion which called it forth, and doesn't care
button which political party is responsible for
the revolving spectacle, but it holds up to the
scorn and contempt of its readers the base
and oowaCdly conduct of the wretches who
dared to perpetrate such an outrage upon
decency and such an insult to q brave and
honorable soldier as is here recorded. Gen
eral Beaver was one of the Republican can
didates for Governor of Pennsylvania, and
the wagon referred to formed part of Dem
cratic procession celebrating his defeat. The
following is the account in question:
at a time when the Republicans had settled
down to a philosophical acceptance of their de-
feat whom they were prepared to see tho enemy
rejoice and have a good time generally over
their sO-cailCd victories, they did not expect to
have every patriotic citizen in the community
iusulted and shocked by the most offensive ex-
hibiyion that has ever been seen in decent
community. Under cover OF darkness a wagon
wa, brought to town on which was erected q
g3llows, to which was hung an eiigy of one
legged soldier. The leg was OF at the hip and
the eiIigy was most indecently labeled Beaver"
in large letters. When this hideous thing first
made its appearance charity attributed its
origin to some grossly ignorant section of the
country, where partisan malevolence is esteemed
a virtue. But it turned out that it was con-
ceiyed and brought forth in Gettysburg. This
monstrous efligy of gallant wounded soldier
was hauled through the streets of town
which nineteen years ago ran red with the
blood of his dying and wounded comrades"
