The Children of No Other Country So Generally Derive Their SuS- feDance From Their nofher and Pay for Ef.

Washington, July 6.-(Speeiall-
 British colonies furnish a market for more than cne-third of Great Br;tain's surplus products, and supply one-fifth
 from abroad. Of her total domestic exe
 portations in 1897, which amounted td
 234, ,200,000 pounds sterling in value.
 S0,675, ,OOO, or 34.4 Der cent, went to
 her colonies, and the percentage Of
 her exports which the colonies take appears to be gaining. A recently published statement by the British
 board of trade journal, just received
 by the treasury bureau of statistics, shows that of the total exports Of British produce and manufactures from the United Kingdom, 31 per cent went to tha British colonies in 1895 8 per cent in 1896, and 34.4 per cent in 1897.
 On the other hand Great Britain an- nually purchases from her colonies about s45O, 1000, GOO worth of their pro auctions, the imports from the Brit
 ish colonies into the United King dom in 1895 being 95,530 ,0OO pounds sterling, in 1896, 99,2OS, ,OOO pounds ster;ing, and in 1897, 94,019,OOO pounds sterling. Naturally the bulk of her
 importations from the colonies is ar ticles of food and raw materials for use in manufacturing. FCod products in 1897 were 34,711 900 pounds sterling of the. 94,011, ,000 of importations from the colonies into Great Britain, while raw materials for textile manufactures imported from the colonies amounted to 26.09S.00O pounds sterling, other sterling. while manufactures imported from the British colonies were only 7,S96,0 900 pounds sterling. Thus the people of the United Kingdom in buy ing the food products and material for manufactures fer which they are com pelled to send money abroad, are now able to expend over s400,0O0,0 ,000 annually among their own people in JULIET OI tile NOIlO, pSOp-0 w IIO British blood and British capital; fer it is asserted on high that probably $2,000, 100000 of British capital is invested in va rious ways in the colonles, and the in these markets by the people of the United Kingdom thus contribute to the prosperity of her own citizens whose money is there invested.
 In other countries which have CO., onial possessions, considerable per- eentage of their commerce is also with he colonies, though not to as great m extent as that of Great Britain. France purchased 10 per cent of her otal imports from Ter colonies in 1897, Holland purchased 14.I per cent 1f her imports from her colonies ia 1897, while the proportion which the German colonies furnished of the i'm ports into Germany is comparatively small, in most cases the colonies being new and little developed.

LEES BRAVERY.
Incidents of the Brittle of Spotsyl-
ynnia Courthouse.

To the Editor of the Observer:
The great battle Of Spotsylvania Court
house was fought by Lee and Grant, May
Y. 1864. These are memorial-days. and TO
an old Confederate who participated in
that gigantic struggle. thirty-five years
asO, they are Of peculiar interest. This
battle was the second of the great series
of battles fought by the Army of North
ern Virginia and the Army of the Poto-
mac, and occurred just six days after the
battle Of the Wilderness, and in the same
county. Lee had three corps commanded
by Generals Ewell, LOngstreet. and A. =.
Hill. My recollection is that Hill was on
the right, LOngstreet in the centre, and
Ewell on the left.
The battle commenced early in the
morning and ragged with great fury all
along the line until far in the afternoon,
when General Lee successfully repulsed
the terrible assaults of Grant The most
desperate fighting known in the annals Of
warfare took place at what is popularity
known as the bloody angle" Al this
point Grant massed several lines Of bat
tie, and made charge after charge, and
finally succeeded in breaking our lines at
that point, but our men rallied, and al
ter a most desperate fight retoOk the
broken line. At this point a tree thirteen
mimic balls, and fell, wounding several
Of our men. This battle was fought
amidst a very heavy rainfall. General
Lee not only repulsed the enemy and
maintained his line. but sent General Will
coX's division out in front and drove the
enemy back, capturing several batteries,
a lot of prisoners, and dozen or more Of
regiinental flags.
General Lee kept his army we'll in
4 l., Ia IS
presence. He and his staff were often
seen riding along the line, amid shot
and shell. AT one time he stopped just
in rear Of Grahams Battery, which our
company were supporting, dismounted,
he and his aide and walked up TO the
battery (his aide protesting, telling him
he was in danger, took out his field
glass and looked 10 the front and re
marked TO his aide: II think it Is time
General Wilcox was moving out" IL
a moment he said, YES, yes, he Is
crossing the works now" With that he
turned to so 10 his horse, and had only
gone a few PAGES when a shell exploded,
tore the breastworks up, and threw dirt
all over General Lees rubber coat He
remarked, Il believe it is a little dan
gerOus here"
spotsylvani' county, Va, can right
fully claim the honor of having two of
the biggest battles Of the war fought
within her borders. How far they were
apart 1 do not know, nor do | know the
direction from the Wilderness battle
ground to SpotsylNania, but think it is
southeast.
These, Mr.. Editor. are facts which
came under my personal observation,
and l give them to you for what they
are worth a. J. HUNTER.
