The Lenders of the Charge.
For reasons best known to himself
Lee selected LongStreet to make his
final and crowning effort TO win the
battle.
The Army of Northern Virginia was
divided in three corps, of which Lieut.
Gen. James Longstreet commanded the
First, Lieut.-Gen. Richard S. Ewell the
Second, and Lieut.-Gen. Ambrose P.
Hill the Third As the assault was to
be made in front of Hills lines, it was
to be presumed that he would have
charge of it. But LongStreet had
achieved a reputation as the hardest
and most determined hitter in the Con-
federate army, and it was the time
when Lee wanted to strike his heaviest
blow. Lee used to affectionately alluJe
to Longstreet as his "Old War Horse"
Longstreets name would indicate
that he came from the German Protes-
stants who settled in the Piedmont re-
gion of Georgia after the establishment
of the Colony as "a home for decayed
English gentlemen and prosecuted
Protestants of the continent" and this
was confirmed by his large frame,
heavy body, broad face and deliberate

that his promotion to command of the
Second Corps was generally acclaimed
Such was the general confidence in him
that Gen. Meade sent him forward to
Gettysburg to ascertain the conditions
there, and to decide for Meade as to
what should be done. From that mo-
ment he was the life and inspiration of
the Army of the Potomac thruout the
battle. He quickly infused confidence
into the broken corps drifting back
from the first days fight, reformed the
lines, and presented such a bold front
to Lee as to stop all further advance.
He threw himself with ardor into the

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, November
work that could be used for fuel, the
British steamer Craigvar arrived yester-
day tWenty-seven days from Yokohama
Capt. Edmunds reported that in addi-
ton to a shortage of coal the steamer
passed through gales that continually
threatened her destruction.
Three days ago the bunker supply of
the steamer was reduced to less than
a ton of coal, sufficient only for three
hours steaming under a slow bell with
only slight hope that the planking and
suDerficial work of the vessel would fur
nish sufficient steam to bring the steamer
into port.
The meager supply of coal was re-
served for any emergency that might
develop while the steamer was driven
by heavy gales.
The destination in Puget sound of the
Craigvar was Tacoma. Her fuel supply
was such that a course to Seattle was
made for rebunkertng.
SO difficult was the sustaining power
with the wood fuel to defend the vessel
in the high seas that the passengers
were obliged to aid in the work of re-
ducing frame timbers and planking OF
the ship to furnace blocks.
Capt Edmunds contends that had his
bunker supply, taken at Moji. been of a
fair grade his long passage from Japan
could have been accomplished without
misadventure despite the gale.
