little in the east, and wholly unknown in

being, we believe. the only Touring mill
equipped with the roller process in Yer

MEADE AND SICKLES.
A Hitherto Unpublished Letter by General
Meade Concerning General Sickles's
Conduct at Gettysburg

Meade Concerning General Sickles's
Conduct at Gettysburg.
To the Editor Of the PhilddClphid Press !:
Sir "A word of explanation of the cir
cumstances which drew forth the follow
ing letter seems to he necessary.
In an Grafton delivered before the Re
union Society of Vermont Officers in
November, 1869, the orator Colonel W.
w. Grout of that State, who had made
the acquaintance of General ID. f.. Sickles
and had adopted the latter's views upon
certain points relating to the battle of
Gettysburg, advanced the theory-more
familiar now than it was then that Gen
eral Sickless famous movement on the
second day of the battle was fortunate
step; that it kept General Meade from
retreating to Pipe Creek and that but for
Sickles's movements the battle of Gettys-
burg might never have been fought and
the victory of Gettysburg never won.

facts, of orders on the order books of the
Army of the Potomac and of General
Meade's dispatches to General Halleck

One of Many Things Done TO Benefit
the Farmers.

iIlt
To the Editor of the Free Press
The men that are travelling through the
State denouncing Senator Edmunds have
a stereotyped and seemingly favorite ques.
ton to ask when they meet an honest
farmer. 1t is: What has Mr.. Edmunds
ever done to benefit the farmers of Yer
mont ~
Let me cite one thing that we have all
known about, but which many have for
gotten.
He drafted and advocated the resolution
directing the president to give the requisite
notice for the abrogation of the reciprocity
treaty with Canada. At least this is my
understanding of the matter, and it was
of more practical benefit to Vermont
farmers than any other act of legislation
since the foundation of the government
Previous to that time we farmers had
free trade in regard to everything we had
to sell and hiyh protective duties on every
thing we had to buy.
If you will admit 1t into your columns
| would now like to ask what has been
the attitude of John Gregory Smith upon
this question
The general understanding is that he
has favored renewal of reciprocal trade
with Canada.
