THE STORY OF THE WAR.

Those who are impatient, for
any reason at the telling of
the story Of our great civil war,
must content themselves as best
they may, at the repetition of the
off-told tale, says the Kansas
City Star. Not while any sur
vivors remain of either of the
great contending armies can it be
expected that they will sit in
'mute obstruction" with voice
less tongues or idle pens. And
when centuries have passed the
great four years war in America
will still be a fruitful source of
discussion by historians of that
war.
One fact will be the worlds
wonder for a long time yet, viz:
that the percentage of losses in
battle both to entire armies and
to individual regiments, exceeded
anything ever before known in
civilized warfare. OF uncivilized
warfare there are usually no
authenic records, while all the de-
tails of the great Civil war were
so set down at the time in black
and white, as never happened in
war before for one reason, be-
cause q larger proportion of the
combatants were able to read and
write than had ever in the annals
of time made history and record
ed it. These contemporary &C.
counts have been arranged, pre-
served, published, commented
upon and, as itwere, reinforced,
after the new and Nineteenth
century manner. History, in our
time, walks with firmer step with
the staff Of statistics.
AS to the question Of proper
Tomato losses in line of battle, it
is now known that at the battle
of Gettysburg, the percentage of
loss exceeded anything ever be-
fore recorded, and that with the
exception of the Russian loss at
Plevna, has never since been
equaled. There we're on the field
of Gettysburg fifteen Federal and
five Confederate regiments that
lost over so per cent of their num-
bers in killed and wounded. The
Federal regiments were the First
Minnesota, the One Hundred and
Forty first, One Hundred and
Forty eighth, and Twenty-sixth
Pennsylvania; the One Hundred
and Eleventh, Eightieth and One
Hundred and Twenty-sixth New
York; the Twenty-fourth Mich
Iigan, the Fifteenth Massachu-
sets, the Second Wisconsin, the
Third Maine, the Eleventh New
Jersey, the Seventeenth Regulars,
the Second New Hampshire, and
and the Nineteenth Indiana. The
Confederate regiments were the
Third and Twenty-sixth North
! Carolina, the Second North Caro-
lima battalion and the Ninth and
Fifteenth Georgia. To go into
the bloody particulars the
Twenty-sixth North Carolina lost
all but three men out of a COM
pany of eighty-seven; the
Twenty-fou Michigan formed
six lines of battle one after an
other and had nine color. bearers
killed.
And there were other fields

And there were other fields.
The First Texas at Antietam lost
80 per cent, the First Maine
heavy artillery lost rs per cent of
its men in seven minutes. There
are those who are willing to
match against the charge of the
Light Brigade at Balaklava the
charge of Farnsworth at Gettys-
burg, where the cavalry broke
over the guns and through the
infantry support and their leader
fell with five mortal wounds.
Everybody should recollect
that such fighting and dying as
this will be remembered and
talked about for a long time to
come. There were two sides to
the story, but one is quite as will
ing to give its version as the
other. Each party to the long
and bitter struggle has built and
will continue to build its monu-
ments. The "broken soldiers"
the Union and Confederate
Veterans, sit on either side of the
fire and talk the night away"
The great world, with its myriads,
will repeat their tales forever.

TEXAS AND MANUFACTURING.

The Manufacturers association. with
headquarters at Tyler, Is engaged in
noble work for their State and deserves
the Kindly assistance Of both press and
people. TO build up the manufacturing
interests Of this great and growing State
is. Of course, OF first Importance to all
classes of citizens.
The organization was perfected at Dallas
on the I'D OF the present month, but we
arc told that the representation from lead
ing cities was not what it ought 10 have
been, or what was anticipated. For ex-
ample. there were no representatives from
Houston and contiguous territory. 1t Is as
tonishing to note this apparent indifference
OF our prominent citizens and capitalists
to The matter oil Texas manufactures. We
have the raw material Of every description
in luxuiant abundance. but raw material
furnishes only hall profit To send our
wool and cotton thousand miles 10 be
