VERSIONS BRIGADE.

This brigade consisted of the 9th, 18th,
10th and I'D \. G. 1t was first com
handed by Garland, who was killed in
the Maryland campaign; then by IverSon,
then by Bob Johnson, then by Toon. The
2Oth was a fine regiment. At very
critical time at Gaines's Mill it captured
| battery. 1t is Oh Col. Fox's list as hav-
ing had on that occasion 40 killed and
202 wounded. Equally good was the 18th.
That brilliant and lamented young officer,
Gen. X. h. ROdcs, once made n little
speech TO this regiment, in which he said
that after Gettysburg Gen. Lee had told
him that his division had accomplished
more in that battle than any division in
his army, and that be himself would say
that the 18th n. c. was the best regi-
ment in his division Not long ago
while visiting ncghboring town. / saw
bald-headed old fellow, who was Color
Sergeant of this regiment at ChancellOrs-
vile. IL was charging a battery when its
commander, Maj. Rowe, was killed and
for moment it faltercd. Just then it
was that Sergeant Whitehead rushed to
the front with the EXPLANATIONS: Come
on, 18th; I'm going to ram this flag down
one of them guns" The regiment an
swered with yell, took the battery, and
held it.
In the seven days battle this regiment
had 81 men killed on the field. 1t suf-
fered most at Malvern Hill, where Pri-
Yate Tom Emry, of this county, was com
plimented in orders and promoted for gal
lantry.
Gen. Hancock, having witnessed a very
gallant but unsuccessful charge of the 9TH
\. q. at Williamsburg, complimented it
in the highest terms. Lieut.. Tom Snow,
of this county-a Chapel Hill boy-was
killed on this occasion and his body was
delivered to his friends by the Federals.
With such Colonies as Christie, Black
nall and Davis-the first two dying of
wounds-the ODD could not fail in always
being an "a No. L. regiment This bri-
gade at Gettysburg had Ill killed and
314 wounded.
In the Fall of 1864, near Winchester,
Gen. Bradley Johnson. of Maryland, was
witness Of the conduct of this brigade
under very trying circumstances, and he
has recently written very entertaining
account of what he saw, and in It LIE is
very enthusiastic in his praise of their
courage and discipline, comparing them to
Sir Colin Campbell's "Thin Red Line" at
Balaklava.

HIGH TAX ON WIVES,
A Bishops Scheme for Putting an End to
Polygamy Among African Natives.

The missionaries in South Africa re-
| Gently held convention in Natal. Among
! the questions that claimed their attention
was that of polygamy among the natives.
| They discussed the Practicability Of max
| ing a crusade against this custom. Many
of them declared that the practice was
| condemned not only by moral but also by
business considerations. The Bishop Of
Mashonaland asserted that the country
| might find in poygamy the real reason
| for the very nconYenient dearth of labor
in the mines.
| The native father looks upon his daugh-
ter merely as SO much merchandise. He
will cheerfully part with her if he can
get what he considers to be her value in
cattle. The girl is sold to her future hus-
band for from FIVE to 80 head of cattle, ac-
cording to her beauty as that quality il
estimated among the natives. An exceed
ingly fat girl is very beautiful indeed,
and brings the highest price in the matri-
monial market.
The father of family who raises a
large number of daughters is certain to
become rich. The more wives be has the
more daughters are in prospect, thus it is
highly desirable to have quite a number
OF wives. The young man who agrees to
sell his labor for q stipulated time in tho
gold or diamond mines has only one
| thought, and that is to get some money
with which he may purchase cattle and
exchange them for a wife.
When he has secured this desirable OBJ
ject he will do no more work for the
white man till he wants more wives. In
! the course Of time he will have daughters
| 70 sell and then he will do no more work
at all. His wives will do all the field
work, his daughters will bring in moro
cattle and his herds will grow also by
natural increase. Between wives, daugh-
tiers and cattle he will be able to lead a
life of gentlemanly leisure.
The Bishop Of Mashonaland proposed
plan which, if carried into effect, would,
in his opinion, put an end to po1ygamy.
He would have the Government view all
wives, except the first, as articles of luz
ury and tax them in a progressive scale.
Wife No. / should be exempt from taxa
ton, but the husband should pay a tax
of S25 year for the luxury of having
wife No. in his family, $50 year for
wife No. g. 500 a year for wife No. 4,
and so on. 1t is evident that at this rate
it would take very long purse or very
well-stocked cattle yard to keep the ma
tive home adorned with goodly number
of wives. TT
The convention did not commit ITSELF
to this or any other plan for doing away
with polygamy, and it remains to be seen
what the white legislators of South Africa
will think of the novel scheme suggested
by the Bishop of Mashonaland.

"a POOR THING. BUT MINE OWN"


We see in field returns for February
and March, 1865, that Pickett's Division
WAS the largest in the army. There is
nothing remarkable about this fact, for
they were not engaged in the bloody re-
pulse at Bristoe Station, were not present
at the Wilderness, were not present at
Spottsylyania, and did not serve in those
horrible trenches at Petersburg. In the
same report we see that their aggregate,
present and absent, was CAST. 1t may
be that since the world was made there
has been a body of troops with 5000
names on their muster rolls, who, sery-
ing in a long and bloody war, inflicted so
little loss upon their enemy or suffered
so little themselves. 1t may be, but 1t is
not probable. With one exception no di-
vision surrendered so few men at Apo
mattoX.
Col. Dodge, of Boston, in his history
speaks of the commander of this division
as the Ney of Lees army" II satire Is
ginian never inflicted any loss upon the
enemy worth mentioning; certainly not
enough to cause any Yankee to owe him a
grudge.
DAvIs's BRIGADE,
This brigade was composed of the I'd,
18th and AID Miss. and 55th n. G.. The
two first were veteran. They had fought
often and always well. The 42d Miss.
and 55th n. G. were full regiments, Get
tysburg being their first battle of i'm
portance. The two first named served in
Laws Brigade of Hoods Division at
Sharpsburg, or Antietam, where they
greatly distinguished themselves, as they
had before at First Manassas and Gaines's
Mill. The 18th Miss. was the only fresh
regiment outside of Pickett's Division
that took part in the assault of July 8,
so all of it's loss occurred on that day, that
loss being POP killed and wounded. The
number they carried in is variously stated

1t does not require much courage to lie
behind breastworks and shoot down an
enemy in an open field and then to run
away, as it and the other troops in its
vicinity did, when that enemy continued
to approach. But, while it does not add
to their fame, it is not to their discredit
that they did give way. For, however

was promoted and transferred to the
West. Then by Rodes, who was killed
at Winchester; then by Grimes, who. was
assassinated just after the war. Just af-
ter Gettysburg, Gen. Lee told Gen. Rodcs
that his division had accomplished more,
in this battle than any other in his army
The record this body made in the cam

that it is hard to get news items these

items might strike one connected with
the newspaper fraternity, Think it my
duty to help you out; hence this letter.

slumber by the cries of my boy saying
there was Young man in trouble with
his team: jumped up and ran out to
see what was the trouble, and to give
any assistance I might be able to, /
found Geo. Jnell and his girl in the
slough. the horses having left the bug
gy. Seeing no immediate danger in
sight went back and laid down. But
about an hour later was again
aroused, this time by my wife, calling
me to the window, saying, ''Come
quick. there is trouble out here. 8
This time it was the same young man
/ had seen in the slough with his girl,
holding up some other fellow, whom
it seems, in the difficulty that he had,
had got the girl away from him while
he was going after another team.
How this is, of course do not know,
but / do know that George has lots Of
nerve and he made the other fellow
deliver the goods to him there on the
spot, and at last reports it was stat
ed that they arrived safely at the

A correspondent wishes to
know the writer's views on cele-
brating the Fourth Of July at
Cooperstcwn. Our first view of
the matter is to make the blow
out the biggest event in the
state nothing is too good for us
or too good to celebrate our
national independence. AS to
the program suggested by the
correspondent we are heartily
in favor of patriotic songs, ETC.,
but very much doubt the wisdom
of engaging a long winded speak
er to tell every body what they
already know. Speeches are oil
right at times but at q Fourth of
July gathering people get to a
celebration to have all the fun
they can from the time they fire
off the first rocketat sunrise until
The last one is fred at midnight
Of the same day. We believe
that athletic sports, ball games,
and some exhibitions of speed by
horses are in no way detrimental
to the people, but on the con-
trary are necessary. We are
not in favor of horse racing
alone, but we do believe that it is
necessary to have these along
with the other amusements. We
have been to celebrations where
a speaker occupied about half
the day shooting off bursts Of
oratory telling about the old, old
story Of our independence until
not more than half a dozen per.
