Foeman's Tribute to Lanes Brigade.
News and Observer

AVom"h lEiUutc W Lane>S BrlXaue,
News and Observer.
1t is seldom that words of
praise or credit are given by
Northern writer's relative to
the bearing and action OF
Southern troops during the
war, that it is with peculiar
pleasure that we quote rom
TIE report of Colonel Aug. C.
Hamlin, vt Bangor, Maine,
an officer OF the Eleventh Ar
my Corps, U. $. A., concern
ing the battle OF Chancellors-
vile, in which, referring to
Lanes North Carolina Bri-
gade of Confederates, he uses
language so honorable and
worthy Of a true man and
brave soldier, and so well de.
served by the brave men
whose fidelity and valor he
tes, that in sim
pie Justice to him and them,
we copy his words, as they
appear in his report publish
ed in the National Tribune.
Col. Ha,nlin says:
Lanes Brigade was severe
ly denounced for the desulto-
ry firing which wounded Jack
son and pei haps A. p. Hill,
but neither of these Officers
ever blamed the same to the
18th North Carolina for fir
ing as they did, as neither
Hill nor jackson informed
Maj. Barry, in command, of
their intention to pass in
front of his line, and b o t h
Hill and Lane had warned
the troops that they were in
the most advanced position,
and must be keenly on the a.
lert.
1t is proper at this time to
say a few words concerning
Lanes Brigade, and consider
the charges Of a want of firm
ness brought against it. Jnves
tigation shows that the Bri-
Fgade was composed of young
men, of the best stock the Old
North State contained, and
sent to represent it in the bul
wark of Secession-the Army
OF Northern Virginia. The
records of the war show that
it was in all the principle bat
ties Of the Army OF Northern
Virginia; that it's blows were
severe and it's losses were
frightful. In the battle around
Richmond in 1862, the Bri-
gade lost 800 men killed and
wounded. At Charlottesville
it also lost nearly 800 men
killed and wounded. and Of
its thirteen field officers all
but one was stru.k down. At
Gettysburg it formed the left
OF Longstreet's charge, and
although it had lost about
so per cent in its three day q
-
fighting, it marched of the
field in orier and took posi-
tion in support Of the batter
les, which some of the other
brigades did not do. And
they were the last soldiers Of
Lees retreating army to re.
cross the Potomac River,
both after Antietaln and Get
tyshurg.
1t may be said briefly, and
without giving offense to de.
serving soldiers on eitherside

The School Problem Solved.

ASHEVILLE. N. c.. March Especial.
The school committee OF the city decided
yesterday 10 borrow the necessary money
10 keep the graded schools open until the
end OF the present session-the white
schools until May 18th. the colored until
April 2sth-the latter having begun nearly
a month earlier than the former. The
banks Of Asheville will make the loan on
the notes Of the committee. This solution
Of a rather serious problem Is not as
satisfactory as could be wished, but Is
probably the best that could have been
made under the circumstances.
Sheriff Brookshire yesterday received
notice from the chief Of police OF Roam
oke. Va, Of the capture there of James
and Lewis Hess, who were sentenced 10
the county chain gang more than year
ago for larceny, and who made their
escape a few months since. Sheriff Brook
shire left for Roanoke this afternoon and
will bring his men back TO Asheville 10
complete their terms
