Judge Douglas has this to say of for

courts of North Carolina toward them:
THE prevailing tendency 10 corporate
absorption cannot be ignored. and it is
tlle increasing duty of TIN State. while
giving to all corporations the equal pro-
lection of its laws, to equally protect its
citizens against corporate abuses. There
should he no prejudice against corpor-
aiafons simply because they are corpor-
aticns. Thty are not outlaws. but are
creatures of the law. and are not only
capable of becoming the most powerful
agencies of civilization, but have become
absolutely necessary in our present stage
of material development They can be
justly condemned only when their pow
ers are abused, hut in proportion us their
powers are greater than those Of an in
dividual. they are more liable TO abuse
and should be molIa carefully guarded
One Of their great dangers is The risk
of insolvency arising from the want of
any personal liability of their stockhold-

tious nature of their assets

We would then be ready for flanks and

BY some kind of misunderstanding, Maj.
Samuel w. Pickens, of the Sd Tenn, who
had charge of the men of that regiment left
there, did not go with us. The plan was
for us TO cut out with the saber; but there

to know that we We're on still march, for
the stiffness was wonderful.
Next morning Forrest made a vigorous
attack for time, and then, sending flag
of truce, demanded n surrender, inviting
Col. Campbell to go out and inspect his
forces, that he might see the uselessness
of resisting. Campbell was so thought
less as to SO, and Forrest had his men
arranged to appear much larger than real

On the right of the fort lay the 63d Ohio,

his statements, which are easily accounted

Gen. Wheeler did not cross the Tennes-

the invasion by Forrest at the time of the
capture of Athens and Sulphur Trestle.
1t was more than month before Forrest
came across the river that We had the
trouble with Wheeler. Wheeler's raid was
an entire and separate affair from that of
Forrest.
AT the time of the Wheeler raid that little
General started into Tennessee from lower

by Lieut. Dorton and small body of men,
who had barricaded themselves in the

resistance that Wheeler attacked them with

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Com
rade H. H. Hills, Co. I. I'd Mimi, in his
"reminiscences of the I'd MINI. s four years
service at the front, in his description OF the
first days fight at Chickamauga says:

pointing TO the front, and without waiting
for orders they went over our line, disre-
garding Van Derveer's orders TO come
back. and we could hear them yelling and
cheering in both languages long after they
We're lost to sight"
Comrade Hills in this part of his remi-
niscences is incorrect. The 9th Ohio was
not on detached service; it was guarding
an ammunition-train on the march, and
was with the division, but in the rear, and
when the battle opened it was relieved by
the 3Sth Ohio The 9th then, in double
quick, marched to join the brigade and took
its position on the right of the brigade,
which had been heavily engaged before the
arrival of the 9th.
AS soon as the 9th had taken its position
Col. kaemmerling ordered out his Skirmish h
ers; they were soon driven in by the enemy,
who made a severe attack on us, when Col.
kaemmerling ordered us to fix bayonets,
and we charged the enemy, repulsed him,
and recaptured Burnham's battery-H, 5th
U. S. Art, which the enemy had taken at
the opening of the fight
Here is what Col. Van Derveer, command
ing the brigade, says in his report of the
first days fight:
Col. Kaermmerling, chafing like a
wounded tiger that he had been left behind
at the opening, ordered his men to charge.
