Simultaneously with the defeat on
their left they commenced an attack
on their right-on Marye's Hill. A
tremendous cannonade was opened on
the hill from the Stafford Heights and
other points, and division charged
gallantly, but was repulsed with tre-
mendous slaughter. A second assault,
more formidable than the first, was
about to. be made by another division
in columns of brigades. The rain Of
shells on Maryc's Hill was rcdoubled.
Gen. Lee sent Gen. kershaw with his
brigade to reinforce the stone wall,
and few more pieces Of artillery to
the hill. The enemy. which we after
wards heard was Hancocks division,
supported by French $ division, which
had made the first charge, came on
with splendid gallantry over the dead
bodies of their comrades Of the first
charge. They came within sixty yards
of the stone wall, when the artillery
on the hill opened on them with dou-
Bile charges of canister. sweeping away
platoons at time, and the infantry
behind the stone wall rose up in triple
lines and poured terrible fire into
them; the first line was annihilated,
but the others kept coming on to share
the same fate. Nearly half of them
were killed, or lay disabled on the
field before these gallant men

TARIEE LEGISLATION.

The country seems more united for
Tariff legislation than ever before in its
history. Strong influences, which have
been at work for years, have now taken
the matter across party lines, and the
question is not between Protection and
Free Trade, as opposing principles, but
the proper distribution of protection to
the various industries Of the country.
In the old days, when the South pro-
duced mainly cotton, and bought every
thing else, she could be rallied with great
success around the Free Trade flag, and
be led TO demand, even to the point Of
drawing the sword, that she be allowed
unrestricted liberty to buy in the cheap
est market and sell in the dearest" The
idea of paying tribute to Northern manu-
facturers was very odious to her.
| But King Cotton has fallen from hi
throne. The Southerners have found
many other branches of industry more
profitable and promising than cotton
raising. They have been developing tn,

HARVEST FIELD OF FIEpDS.
Horrors Wreaked on the Fair Isle of Cuba.

Last week such intelligence from Cuba
reached the President as made it absolutely
necessary that prompt and comprehensive ac-
ton should be taken. Just what this intelli-
gence was no one outside Of che inmost circles of
the Administration exactly knows. Itwss felt
to be of such gravity that it would be impolitic
to lay it in full even before the Senate Foreign
Affairs Committee. Much more, however. was
given that Com ittee than has been COMMUNE
Gated to the Senate, aud still less has been i'm
parted to the public. There is good reason for
this, for at the present moment the situation IS
so delicate that little bunging would make
n war with Spain unavoidable. We do not
want such a war if the ends of humanity, just
ice, and proper National policy can be secured
without it. If they cannot, then let us have
war by all means. The condition of affairs in
Cuba is crying scandal to humanity. The
Spaniards are perpetrating enormities there
fully equal to those of the Turks in Armenia
aud Crete. This is at our very doors. and upon
a people with whom we have always had strong
sympathy. 1t is n matter that directly con-
Germs our National good namo
We very properly criticize Great Britain for
permitting the continuation of the massacres
and other horrors of Armenia and yet within
a few hours sail from our own coasts we are al

brutality that Armenia cannot surpass. 1t is
doubtful if the Turks awful work equals the
atrocities committed in Cuba. The Turks
cease slaughtering when they secure submits

people of the country. But the SpaDiarfs

camps, and they destroy property OF all kinds

officers have done proportionately as well.

TIE Greek situation has grown worse
since last week. The Greeks concen-
trated strong army-numbering about
5,000-around Domokos, an excellent
position, and offered battle. The Turks
moved forward to the attack with an
army stated to number $4,000. The
fighting seems to have been quite severe,
and ended in the Greek position being
forced at several points and the whole
army compelled to retreat. If the
disaster be as great as reported there is
nothing to prevent the Turks marching
directly on Athens This is a con.

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY's ATTITUDE.
There is no doubt as to President McKinley's
position He has always been warm SYM
pathzer with the Cuhans suffering under
Spanish misruIe. and the Republican Conven-
ton which nominated him put this plank in
the platform:
From the hour of achieving their own in
dependence. the people OF the United States
have regarded with sympathy The struggles of
other American peoples to free the nlseivc5 from
European domination. We watch with deep
and abiding interest the heroic battle of the
Cuban patriots against cruelty and oppression.
and our best hopes 90 out for the full success
OF their determined contest for liberty.
1.-The Government of Spain having lost con-
troll of Cuba, and being unable to protect the
property or lives of resident American citizens
or to comply with its treaty obligations, we
believe that the Government of the United
States should actively its influence and
good offices to restore peace and give independ-
