GETTYSBURG.

To-day all eyes are again turned toward
Gettysburg. Fifty years ago, together
with the fall of Vicksburg, the fate of the
Southern Confederacy and the greatest
people on earth, was decided, not by right,
bat by might and "the heaviest battal-
ions" We say by might" and not by
fright" because we believe that President
jefferson Davis, one of the greatest and
purest of American statesmen, wrote a
great truth when he said ''that the war
was, on the part of the United States Gov
ernment, one of aggression, and usurpa-
ton, and, on the part of the South, was for
the defense of an inherent, unalienable
right"
1.-The main purpose of the movement
across the Potomac was to free Virginia
from the presence of the enemy" says Mr..
Davis in the "Rise and Fall of the Con-
federacy." The position at Gettysburg
was not the choice of either Lee or Meade.
The strength of the Confederate army is
stated at $4,000 of all all arms The re-
port of the Army of the Potomac on June
3Oth states the force present at 112,988
men.
The battle of Gettysburg "may be re-
regarded as the most eventful struggle of
the war;" says Mr.. Davis. 'By it the
dropping spirit of the North was revived
Had their army been there defeated, those
having better opportunities to judge than
| or any one who was not among them,
have believed it would have ended the
war. Shattered, it is true, but
not disheartened, the Army of Northern
Virginia after recrossing the Potomac rose
like the son of Terra, with renewed vigor,
and entered on the brilliant campaign
hereafter to be described"
Still convinced of the justice of the
cause for which he heroically struggled,
and with no apology for his devotion to
that cause, though it went down in defeat,
the Confederate soldier acknowledges his
allegiance to the Union, is proud of it's
greatness and grandeur and sincerely well
comes this era of restored peace and friend
ship, ardently hoping that elimination and
recrimination may for ever cease.

TO TEST LEGALITY
OF FRANCHISE TAX

Austin. Tex, Oct 20.-The consti-
tutiOnality of the franchise tax law
o. Texas, which imposes a franchise
tax and requires payment of permit
fees by foreign corporations in order
to do business in Texas, is aSsailed by
a petition for a writ of mandamus filed
today in the supreme court by the At
las Powder company a Delaware cor
pOratiOn, against secretary of state F.
c. Weinert.
The mandamus is to compel the sec
rotary of state to permit this corpora
ton to transact a local or interstate
business in Texas. The secretary of
state declined because the powder COM
pany did not tender the permit fee and
franchise tax The company claims it
is in conflict with the federal cOnsti-
tuition, in that it is burden on inter
state commerce. This case will test the
law.
