81 am sorry, indeed, to hear of any
Southern Alliance Democrat going in
to third party, for it means, to my
mind, ruin to the South, turning our
Southland over again to Republican
rule, and l hope before the final step is
taken our brethren will reconsider and
think what the result will be and
where it will evidently lead to-ruin,
ruin, ruin" - Governor Buchanan last

"Our workingmen are still told the
tale, oft repeated, in spite of its de-
monstrated falsity, that the existing
prote ctive tariff is boon to them, and
that under its beneficient operation
wages must increase, while as they lis
tened scenes are enacted in the very
abiding place of high protection that
mock the hopes of toll and attest the
tender mercy the workingmen receive
from those rendered selfish and sordid
by unjust governmental favoritism."

it to be fundamental principle of the

of the Washingtons were in reserve: one
followed Jeb Stuart in his exploits and
one fought in the line with Pickett's bril-
gade. The reserve batteries were put in
at the angle where Longstreet and Jack
sons lines came together Mt the decisive
moment to overwhelm Porter's corps at
Groveton on the 30th Of August It was
these guns that buffeted Porter's attack
and saved jackson. At Antietam the en-
tire Louisiana battalion was posted on the
Sharpsburg hill in rear of the infantry.
Stonewall jackson was away, and there
were to be no reserves in the struggle to
keep McClellan's army at bay that 18th of
September, the bloodiest day of battle this
continent ever knew. When Longstreet
formed his line he said to the artillerists,
Put all in, every gun, long range and
Short range" They were needed, and it
came to this in Capt. Millers third com
pany that in the contest of an hour and n
half for the mastery of SharpsburR
heights the captain was the only officer
left out of five, and he had only enough
men to work two guns. The infantry
around about were idle for wnnt OF bullets,
and sergeant of the battery went among
them to get help to work the guns Regi-
ments of fresh troops that seemed to the
enemy exhaustless, Mcclellan hurled
against that hill. Longstreet dismounted
and directed the work of Miller's guns.
while Miller himself and Longstreet's staff
officers handled the hammers and car
tridges and rolled the cannon forward after
each recoil. They saved the hill.

that these Tiger cannonecrs did their

crest of Marye's Hill signaled the first
crossing of Burnsde's army to call in scat
tered Confederate corps to the scene, and
afterward moved down the storming col

The pieces were well masked by trees and

Tho Imposing Spectacle Presented w
Mountains Of loo.
Aswc nscended the Ncwlon glaciernnd
gained the summit Of one icc-iall after
another the pangama Of mighty snow
covered peaks and broad, creyassed gia-
ciers became more and more unfolded,
and more aud more magnificent The
view eastward down the glacier Is one
OF the most impressive pictures that
even Alaskan mountains can furnish
The cliffs of the ST. Elias range on the
south, and Of the Augusta range on the
north, rise near at hand to great heights,
and are as rugged and angular as II Is
possible for mountains TO be. Inc
snow-covered slopes are utterly bare OF
vegetation; not even n lichen tints the
Isolated outcrops of rock Looking
eastward between the two lines OF pre-
cipices towering over a mile in height
and rising above into pinnacles and
crests, the eye follows the descending
slope Of the glacier which expands as
new ice streams pour in flood after Hood
of ice. The surface of the glacier ap-
pears rugged in the foreground, but is
softened in the distance until only the
broadest of the blue gashes that break
its surface are visible. Five or six miles
away is a heavily snow-covcred group
of hills, a spur Of the Augusta range,
which defects the glacier To the south
and causes it to disappear beyond rug
ged headland Of rocks and snow. Ris-
ing above the foothills that turn
the frozen current are magnifi-
cent peaks, the like Of which are
seldom seen, and are utterly unknown
TO all who have not ventured into the
frozen solitudes Of lofty mountains.
Mount Malaspina and Mount Augusta,
cathedrals more sublime than ever hu-
man architect dreamed of, limit tire
view to the northeast To the right Of
these, and forming the background Of
the picture, rise the clustered domes
aud pinnacles of Mount Cook and Mount
Irving, two sister peaks OF equal
grandeur. Beyond these, glimpscs may
be had at certain stations of Mount
Vancouver, and of still other shining
SUBMITS which are not named, and per-
haps were never before seen by human
eyes.
The Wow down the glacier isa winter
landscape. In the fun noontide the
scene is of dazzling svhiteness, except
where cliffs cast their shadows or
clouds screen the sunlight The snow
fields and the snow-curtainedp precipices,
when in shadow, have a delicate blue
tint that seems almost a phosphorcs-
eence. Except on rare occasions, the
only colors are white and many shades
of blue, with dark relief here and there
where the cliffs are too precipltons TO
retain a covering, Sometimes the sun
light shining through delicate clouds
Of ice-spicules, spreads a halo OF beauti-
ful colors around some shining summit,
or, striking the surface Of snow-field
at the proper angle, spreads over ita
web of rainbow tints as delicate and
changcablc as the pearly lining Of a
sca-shcll The sheen on the surface Of
the frosted snow suggests the fnncy
that there the spirits Of the Alpine
flowers have their paradise. Israel C.
