Who Shot Wyatt?
(Tarboro Southerner.)

When Col. Beasley made his talk to
the Confederate veterans i'm the court
room on the 18th, he stated that General
Angus, now editor of the Baltimore Ameri-
can, said that at the battle of Bethel
Wyatt was killed by Colonel, afterwards
General Fitzpatrick, of Ku Klux fame.
According to General Angus, Fitzpatrick
was wounded and left in the church which
Wyatt, r. H. Bradley, George Williams
and j. H. Thorpe volunteered to burn.
He Angus. had gone to rescue Fltz-
patrick. When these men started on their
mission, whose import he and his wound
ed companions realized. Fitzpatrick said
you load and / will fire. This he did as
the men advanced and one dropped.
Fortunately when Colonel Beasley made
this statement there were present the two
surviving members of that volunteer
squad, Messrs. Bradley and Thorpe, and
they expressed their dissent.
When dinner was over, at the sugges-
ton of several, the Edgecombe Guards
were assembled and Capt. Thorpe, with
Mr.. Bradley, recounted the fight at Beth
ell. Wyatt, he said, was not killed from
the church, but from the bushes or low
timber on the right of the opening; that
there could be no doubt about this; the
wound, the direction they were moving,
their own observations all proved this;
that he and his other comrades had more
than once talked over their charge to the
church which they were to fire, and each
and every one of the survivors of the
volunteers called for on that occasion had
agreed in that the fatal bullet was fired
from the right.
When it is remembered that Wyatt and
his companions We're all members of the
Bethel Regiment and also of the Edge
combe Guards, designated as Company A
in that regiment, the appropriateness as
relating to the same organization, but of
different men and of another generation,
is readily seen.

lindisputable fact that our war-lke status
| had not been established within our own
! enyirons. and was lamentably in statu
quo with the governments of the Old
World.
1.-THE hilarity of the fighting nations
abroad and the open and professed con-
tempt of the Mexican republic We're added
arguments against the avoWed policy of
Mr.. Polk, and not until the victory of
Palo Alto and the UNCONDITIONAL rout Of
the MeXIcans at Resaca de la Palma. be-
fore hostities were actually declared,
did the government awake to the fact
that the thin legions of the American re-
gular army and the intrepid citizen sol
diery of the Southern States were a
match for the trained and seasoned
standing army of one of the wealthiest
nations of the world.
THE records in the War Department
bear witness to that struggle, and the
dilgent student of political economy will
be able to fix the date of the respectful
recognition of the Monroe doctrine by the
nations of the Old World and our prero-
gative in arbitrating international diff
ferences on this hemisphere. But glorious
as were the campaigns of Taylor, Scott,
Kearney and Fremont, and the signal
service Of the United States navy, the
magnitude of the concessions made at the
peace of Guadalupe Hildalgo stun the
ina gination of the political economist,
and like the sands of the seashore are
beyond the power of human computa
ton.
The status of a war is reckoned by its
results. In summing up the results of the
war with Mexico the stupendous adjust
ment of the limits of the Louisiana Pur-
chase were settled for all time, and that
gigantic and fearsome terra incognita
made a blessing instead of a menace. 1t
would require the services of the most ex-
pert accountants and the knowledge OF
inanciers to comprehend the rolling mil
lions of wealth discovered and daily COM
ing to the surface from the lneXhaustlble
mines of the country coded as condl-
ton of peace in 184S. The original thir
teen colonies would spread over only a
few of the melowing wheat fields OF our
conquered empire to the west, whose end
less miles of territory have sWeled the
area of our great republic beyond the
farthest flights Of the maddest imperial
ist of 1777,
"The Fourth of July is becoming as the
years advance an international anniver
sary, but the tenth day of March, 1S4S,
the American people must be taught to
observe as the natal day of their true
recognition as power in the conclave OF
nations

Elks Excursion Train Wrecked.
(By the Associated Press

Cheahs, Washn., Aug. 22.-An excursion
train on the Northern Pacific consisting
of an engine and seven coaches en- route
to the Elks' cambake at Olympia was
wrecked about IL o'clock this morning
two miles south of here. Two persons
were killed, four fatally injured and about
thirty seriously hurt. All were Portland
people. The train was running at a good
rate of speed, when the rails spread,
throwing the engine down an embank-
ment forty feet deep. Three coaches piled
en- top of the engine and to add horror
to the scene the boiler of the engine ex-
plcded, throwing scalding water and
steam for many yards around. Nearly
every one in the first coach was injured,
most of them having their legs or arms
broken.

Pensacola, Fla, August 22.-The Sunday
League today sent letters to the sheriff
and mayor, demanding a rigid enforce
ment of the Sabbath observance laws,
which had become gradually relaxed since
the temporary enforcement a few months
ago. The mayor replied that the laws
were State statutes, and that he had no
authority for their enforcement. The
sheriff refused to do anything in the mat
ter unless those who called for the en-
forcement of the laws would swear out
warrants for the arrest of the offenders.
