ern Bivouac for December, is the first
writer we believe, outside of mem.
bers of the brigade, who has ever Civ
en- Archer's Tennessee brigade credit
for the gallant fighting it did in the
battlesof Gettysburg. Most writers
give Pickett's division all the praise
and credit for the desperate charge on
the federal works commanded by
Hancock on the third day; but Col.
Swallow corrects this error, for which
he has the thanks of the survivors of
che old brigade and their friends.
After describing the preliminary work
Of the first day, he says;
Archer now waited some moments,
until his artillery came up, when the
Grst gnn was fired and the battle of
Gettysburg begun. The FIRST man
Killed on the Confederate side was
Henry Raison, Company B. Seventh
Tennessee. he fell dead on the skir>
mish line The company was COM
manded by Capt. John Allen. 1t is
q coincidence that Archer's Tennessee
brigade, which opened the battle, was
the brigade that, in Heth's division,
but then commanded ny Pettigrew-
10 what is known as Pickett's charge
burst into the Federal breastworks
in front of H1neocEs corps with des-
perate UalOr. 1t was the tattered
remnant Of this same brigade that
fu. hit the last battle north of the Po-
tomac, at Falling Waters, on the line
Of the retreat, when General Petit.

they were again attacked by the Con

Swallow might also have added tn
fact that Archer's brigade opened tn

Archer or any other field officer, cal

prisoners, and contributing greatly t
the victory over Hooker.

Tho Accident Yesterday.

Mention was made In yesterdays
REPUBLICAN of Mr.. Sutton's wagon
being run into by runaway team
early yesterday morning, the full facts
Of which are as follows A farmer
named Davidson, Of 81 Georges, was
coming TO this city with . two-hprse
wagon loaded with oats. AS he Was
driving along the causeway, the left
hand bolt of the pole OF the wagon
came out, and that side fell TO the
ground.
This frightened the horses and they
started to run, but AZ the pole was only
fastened on one side, the wagon ran In
a ziRZag course until 1t was In front OF
the offioe Of Weldin & Brother, when II
turned upside down, burying Mr..
Davidson, who had held on to the reins
beneath about twenty bushels of oats.
The other bolt then gave way and the
horses continued TO run, dragging the
pole with them. They ran into the
" sgon Of Nj. Sutton near Market street
bridge, and struck 1t with such force
that 1t was badly broken, while the two
runaways were knocked down.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sutton, who were In
In the wagon, were thrown out, but
escaped with slight injuries. Captain
Davis, who was standing on the north
end of the bridge, secured the runawsys
before they could stt-t of again, and
Bridge Tender MoM tshlastened 10 the
assistance of Mr.. amt 4ls. Sutton. Ii
the meantime others had assisted Mr.
Davidson and helped him to fix up th,
wreck as we'll as possible.

Circus Tent blown Down.

MARTINsBURG, W. Va, Sept pa
terrible calamity occurred thisevening,
in which twenty. five people were seri.
ously or dangerously wounded and
countless others hurt In various ways.
Frank A. Robbins circus and mena-
Rerie was exhibiting, and at the even
ing performance there was present an
audience of probably 2500. About s
o clock, just after the ring performance
had commenced, heavy rain began to
fall and was accompanied by a bigh
wind. Abont 8 o'clock, while Miss
Mcdonald, the Mette Brothers, and a
baby elephant were on the ring, the
wind blew to a gale and the centre pole
of the tent snapped, ropes broke in
all sides and in q moment the tent COL
lapsed upon the heads of the people, ex-
tinguishing all the lights and dashing
seats and occupants to the earth in a
confused mass.
The scene which ensued was appall-
ing. Above the roar of the storm
could be heard tine trumpeting of the
elephants, the howls of the other
animals, the shrieks of women and
children and the cries of the men, and
1t was over an hour before anyth ing
coul Id be done for the rescue of any OF
the unfortunate, save those near tie
outer edge of the collapsed canvas.
IL was found that many, especially
women and children, had been fright,
fully hurt. Nearly all present had
their clothes torn or were covered
with mud. The pecuniary loss will be
heavy.

l.. Clancy, his pastor. Clancey, dur
ing n call at the house Of Mr.. Ritter
this afternoon, reflected upon several

cey passed ont through the door he
called Mr.. Ritter liar and defied him
to come out on the grass and settle the
dispute. Ritter accepted the challenge.
and in brief but spirited round the
pastor was pretty badly punished. Mr.
Ritter was afterwards stricken with
remerse and followed the minister to
express his regrets at having 30 far

the work OF the sling.shoi.

Yesterday, as boy was taking DR..
Burwell's horse and carriage to the
stable, he saw another boy on the side,
walk draw back sling shot, and
begged him not 10 shoot the horse,a as he
would run off. No attention was paid
10 his request, and as soon ns the
animal felt the sting of the bible ne
commenced to kick, mashing the dash
board all to pieces. He then started to
run. but only went as far as the stable,
when he fortunately stopped, or 1t IL
probable the boy in the carriage would
have been killed, as he had no control
whatever of the frightened animal.
Scarcely day passes that some dam
age is not done by boys with these
dangerous weapons, and yet some pa
rents do not even take the trouble tt
find out whether their boys have them
or not.
