national capital is in gala attire to-

hundredth anniversary, and for the
time the whole system of government
has ceased revolving; business, pub

the President and his cabinet, the
Senate and House OF Representa-
tives, the Federal Judiciary, the Gov
ernors of many States and n great
concourse of citizens and visitors,
join in the elaborate festivities of the
day. Perhaps never again will this
generation witness such a significant
gathering of the heads of States and
the chief executives of the nation.
One hundred years ago the trans
fer of the seat of government was
made from Philadelphia to Washing
ton, and the site previously selected
by President Washington was taken
possession of by the various branches
of the government, President and
Mrs. Adams driving over from Phil
adclphia, the Senate and House hold
ing their sessions here for the first
time.
For mouths Washington has been
preparing for fitting commcmora.

"Thc Bloody Angle.

Tho Anderson Mail recently published
a paper prepared and read by Col
Joseph N. Brown before tho r. Il. Lee
Chapter, Daughters of tho Confcderacy,
on McGowan's brigade at tho "Bloody
Angle" OH the 18th of May, 1864.
Col. Brown has made valuable con-
tribution in this paper to the history of
tho civil war. His memory for details is
remarkably accurate, and as he was in
command of tho brigade at tho time and
directed all of its movements, his do
scription of the battle has all tho force
and validity of an official report. He
gives us picture Of it now, thirty-six
years after that awful event, which is
fresh and vivid in its coloring, and terri
bly, minute in its horrible details.
For unconquerable pluck, for heroic
endurance, for fierce fighting to the
death, there was no other battle of the
great war that furnished parallel to
McGowan's brigade at the Bloody Angle.
1t held it for seventeen hours against n
Storm of bullets from three directions,
and abandoned it only when it was
ordered to move to moro advantageous
position. Col. Brown says that tho
night was without moon and was
made intensely dark b" drizzling rain
and tho men could h. i, left the lines un-
observed at any time. Yot they remained
all night, though every foot of ground
upon which they stood seemed to be
swept by the cncmy's balls. AS the mon
fell in their places others from the right
kept moving in to rcplenish tho lines,
and thus the work Of death went on
through all tho dreary hours of that
dark and terrible night. Trees eighteen
inches in diameter were cut down by
minnie balls. We have seen tho stump
of one of these trees in tho Smithso-
nian Institution, Washington, where it
is kept as ono of the most vivid relics of
that cruel and horrible war.
This paper will be put up in pamphlet
form, and wo hope that sufficient num-
Der of copies will be issued to give it a
wide circulation. Tho Winnie Davis
School of History of Limestone College
will prize it as ono of the most valuable
| While the reading Of Col Browns
| thrilling description has awakened in us
AL feeling of pride that we were born
in the Palmetto State and bore an hum
bic share of the hardships and dangers
of war with McGowan's brigade, yet at
the same time it has brought pang of
sorrow to the heart for tho hundreds of
heroic men who were sacrificed in the
Bloody Angle; for at this distance of
time it looks liko tho sacrifice was I'M
necessary and might have been avoided.
