Pickett recalls the event ful catastrophe at Gettysburg. On the morning of the third day of the battle, Gen. Lee, having been unsuccessful in his efforts to dislodge the Federal rights and left wings from ilicir commanding positions, resolved to make a determined rush with a strong column at Cemetery Hill, which formed the centre of the enemy’s position. Ifthis point were taken, their line wotild be pierced, the army would follow, Lee would be rooted on this commanding ground, directly between the two Federal wings, upon which their own guns might lie turned, and the defeat of Gen. Meade must certainly follow. The or ders were given and the colninn prepared for the assault. Mr. John listen Cooke thus describes the memorable action that follow ed : For the hard work at hand, Pickett’s divi-_ sion of Virginia troops, which had just arriv ed and were fresh, was selected. These, were to be supported by Heath’s division of Nort h Carolinatroop3, under Gen. Pettigrew, who was to move on Pickett’s left, and a brigade of General Hill’s under Gen. Wilcox, who was to cover the right of the advancing column and protect it from all flank attacks. The advance of the charging column was preceeded by a tremendous artillery fire di rected from Seminary Ridge at the enemy’s left and centre. This began about an hour past noon, and 1 lie amount of thunder thus unloosed will be understood from the state ment that Lee employed one hundred and forty-five pieces, and the enemy "eplied with eighty-—in all two hundred and twenty-five guns—all discharging at the same time. For nearly two hours this frightful hurly-burly continued. * * * * * * * * * While this artillery duel was in process the charging column was being formed oil the west of Sriihinarv Ridge, oppposite the Federal centre on Cemetery Hill. Pickett drew up ins line with Kemper’s aud Garnett’s brigades in front and Armstead’s brigade in the rear. The brigade under General Wil cox took position on the right, and on the left was placed the division under Pettigrew, which was to participate in the charge. The force numbered between twelve and fifteen thousand ; but as will be seen, nearly in the beginning of the action Pickett was left alone, and thus his force, about five thousand, was all that went forward to pierce the centre of the Federal army. The opposing ridges at this point are about one mile asunder, and across this space Pickett moved at the word, his line advanc ing slowly, and perfectly “dressed,” with its red battle-flags flying and the sunshine dart ing from the gun barrels and bayonets. The two armies were silent, concentrating their whole attention upon this slow and ominous advance of men who seemed in no haste and resolved to allow nothing to arrest them. When the column had reached a point about midway between the oppbs 1 ' ng heights the Federal artillery suddenly opened a furious fire upon them, which inflicted considerable loss. This, however, had no effect upon the troops, who continued to advance slowly, in the same excellent order, without exhibiting any desire to turn the fire. It was impossible to witness this steady and well ordered march under heavy fire without feeling admiration for the soldier ship of the troops who made it. When shell tore gaps in the ranks the men quietly closed up, and the hostile front advanced in the same ominous silence toward the slope where the real struggle, all felt, would soon begin. They were within a few hundred yards of the hill when suddenly a rapid cannon fire thundered on their right, and shell and can aster from fifty pieces of artillery swept the 'the Southern line, enfilading it, and. for an instant, throwing the right into some disor der. This disappeared at once, however. The" column closed up and continued to ad vance unmoved towards the height. At last the moment came. The steady, “common .-time” step had become, “quick time this had changed to double quick then the column rushed headlong at the enemy’s breastworks on the slope of the hill. As they did so the real thunder began. A fearful musketry fire burst forth and struck them in the face, and this hurricane shattered the raw troops of Pettigrew as leaves are scattered by a wind. That whole portion of the line gave way in disorder and fled from the field, which was strewed with their dead ; and, as Wilcox had not moved so as to keep up, the Virginians under Pickett were left alone to breast the tempest which had now burst upon them in all its fury. They returned the fire from the breast works in their front with a heavy volley, and then, with loud cheers, dashed at the enemy’s wArk; which they reached, stormed and took possession of at the point of the bayonet. The loss, however, was frightful. General Garnett was killed; General Armistead fell, mortally wounded, as he leaped on the breastworks, cheering and waving his hat; General Kem per was shot and disabled, and the ranks of the Virginians were thinned to a handful. The men did not, however, pause. The enemy had partly retreated from their first line of breastworks to a second and stronger one, about sixty yards beyond, and near the crest; and here the Federal reserve, as Northern writers state, was drawn up “four deep.” This line, bristling with bajm nets and cannon, the Virginians now charg ed, in the desperate attempt to storm it with the bayonet and pierce, in a decisive man ner, the center of the Federal army. But the work was too great for their powers. As they made their brave rush they were met by a concentrated fire full in their faces, and both flanks at the same moment. This fire did not so much cause them to lose heart, as literally hurl them back. Be fore it the whole charging column seemed to melt and disappear. The bravest saw now that further fighting was useless—that the works in their front could not be stormed — and, with the frightful fire of the enemy still tearing their lines to pieces, the poor rem nants of the brave division retreated from the hill. As they fell back, sullen, like bull-dogs from whom their prey had been snatched just as it was in their grasp, the enemy pur sued them with a destructive fire both of cannon and musketry, which mowed down large numbers, if large numbers, indeed, can be said to have been left. The command had been nearly annihilated. Three Generals, fourteen field officers, and three-fourths of the men were dead, wounded or prisoners. The Virginians had done all that could be done by soldiers. They had advanced undismayed into the focus of a fire unsurpassed, perhaps, in the annals of war : had fought bayonet to bayonet; had left the ground strewn with their dead ; and the small remnant who survived were now sullenly retiring, unsubdued ; and, if repulsed, not “whipped.” Such was the last charge at Gettysburg. Lee had concentrated in it all his available strength, it seemed. When it failed the battle and the campaign failed with it.— Mobile Register. BEN FRANKLIN. A FEW HITHERTO UNWRITTEN INCIDENTS IN ms CHECKERED CAREER. January the 17th was the anniversary of Ben Franklins birthday. We suppose it was observed with great reverence by printers through the United States. The great man’s memory was, no doubt, drank in copious draughts of bottled lightning in commemora tion of the great philosopher’s experiments with fluid of the same name, but different qualities. Franklin did not take part in any of the festivities in the printing offices on the 17th. He is, or rather would be if he were here, too old for such hilarity. He would be 169 years old had he remained with us. But long-continued habit of early rising under mined his vigorous constitution, and gentle death scooped him in at the age of eighty four, just eighty-five years ago. Let us not weep for him. If he had but lived a few years longer this bright, beautiful world, so full of life and hope, would have been blight ed and scarred with more dreary old maxims about going to bed at dark aud getting up before daylight, and about earning a dollar by saving a cent, and always thiuking a week before we speak a miuute, and similar stuff, than the United States census could compile between now and the end of time. Franklin's family must have led a dreary life. The venerable philosopher, quoting his favorite msrxim, “Early to bed,” would drive his helpless family off to their rooms at sunset, while he would go down to the post office for an hour or two, then come back and play with an electrical machine for a few hours, and then write on his almanac until 2 o’clock in the morning. He would then devour a light lunch of cold pig’s feet, apple pie, and fried liver, after which lie would make everybody in the house get up and dress, assemble in the setting room, and lecture to them for over an hour about eat ing between meals. Then begging them to go to work, and remember that the early bird caught the worm, he would go to bed and sleep until 12 o’clock m. Tie always slept as much as lie conld during the day time, i'or it was one of liis favorite sayings: “Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to day.” This custom the great printer had, of sitting up all night and sleeping all day, was what established the heathenish hour observe ed by the morning papers to this day. The philosopher was a man of the most rigid temperance. lie begged all the tobacco lie used, and he could never be induced to eat tobacco like bread, as some men do. He was was born at an early age, and was a printer on compulsion. He held cases in brother’s office after serving out hisdeyilship ; but because his brother took all the phat, lie went on a strike, ratted the office and left. One evening he entered Philadelphia on foot, with a loaf of bread under his arm, from which he was drawing liberal rations. His tor3 r makes no mention of the black bottle in his coat-tail pocket. This is the first tramp printer of whom there is any reco 'd. lie was a great and good man in his time, but lie was slow. He would not have been suited to this busy, progressive ge lefadon. lie lacked the great comprehensive, abstract elements of modern American statesmanship. He would hardly have shone in a Congress where the Hon. Oakes Ames, and the lion. John Morrissey write his co•leagues. There is an anecdote illustrative of hisfidelity to the principles of truth. Ilis father was a tallow chandler, soap boiler, and, as he used a great deal of wood, he strove to inculcate habits of industry in his son by letting him saw and split all the fuel. One day young Ben was chopping wood in a very bad humor, because his wb>\k prevented him from going off with a lot of boys to steal peaches. His father come out to see that his son didn’t pick out all the easy pieces to cut;, and as lie passed by the boy broke a stick in two with a terrific blow, and one of the pieces went whirling through the air like an aeroite, and nestled in the venerable man’s back hair, raising a lump like a base ball. “Who would be so cruel as to hit a poor old man like me ?” in quired the stricken soap boiler, while the members of his frightened family supported his drooping frame and rubbed his lump with ham fat. “Father, dear father,” sobbed the future philosopher. “I can’t telf a lie. It was the boy who lives aeross the street, an’ he has just skinned around the corner.” “M v son, my own dear boj 7 ,” said ids pa, dashing a pearly tear drop from Ids loving orbits. “You are cordially invited to attend a matinee for children only, which will be held in the boiler room in ten minutes from this moment of speaking. Positively no postponement on account of the weather, and no pains spared to make things interesting for the audience.” A little incident worth relating happened to Ben after he had become a married man, and was living in a small village down in Connecticut. J. "W. Dusenberry’s great circus and menagerie had just arrived from Blossenburg, and was going to give a per formance in the evening, and Ben’s oldest boy was seized with an irresistable desire to attend. So at the dinner table he asked permission of Ids father to attend the circus in the evening. “No, no !my son, you must not go to the show. It is an unfit place for me as i consider it; how much more dan gerous must it be for you ; I will not allow a son of mine to attend a circus performance where I myself would blush to be seen. Go to bed my boy, and your mother and I will go to prayer-meeting. To-morrow J will buy you a testament for your obedience.” He went to bed but not to sleep. An hour afterward Ben and and his wife might have been seen seated on a top board under the brilliantly lighted circus tent. Ben’s face glowed with enjoy mentand his jaws worked industriously upon the end of twist ed dog tail tobacco. Once he bowed his head and allowed a half pint of juice to issue from his mouth and descend between the seats. A smothered cry of pain came up from be low. Said old Ben : “Gracious, Ido believe I have spitten in some one’s face.” Said his wife : ‘-Too bad ! but, oh ! just see that man bend the crab?” and they become engrossed in the antics of the clown. Next morning at breakfast this boy appear ; ed with a swollen eye. Said his father, “My son, what ails thine optics?” “Some blamed fool spit in—that is—it is darned sore, I don’t know what ails if,” said the confused lad. Ben and liis wife exchanged significant glances and wisely held their peace, and the promised testament wasn’t alluded to after ward by either father or son— Cin. Sat. Night. SUNDAY READING-. A Stray Leaf from a Lonely Life. My pastor had for his text to-day the fourteenth chapter of John, lie spoke, first, of the strange command with which this wonderful chapter begins—‘Let not your heart be troubled.’ When I thought of dreary life-paths, forever haunted by shadows, and remembered how death and sin, misery and despair, with tireless hands wrought at their dread work in the world, I could not help from asking with my pastor, ‘How can we keep the heart untroubled?’ As I sat there alone, in a crowd of strang ers between whom and myself there never could be a bond of sympathy, and feeling so weak, tired and cheerless, it seemed to me, out of the depth of my own sad experience, a voice whispered, ‘lt is possible to be in the midst of trouble with an untroubled heart, even as the Hebrew children walked through the seven times heated furnace and came out without even the smell of the fire upon the garments.’ But how this can be I know not; I only know it is so. This strange command in the first verse is repeated again in the twenty-seventh, and be tween these verses are. given sundry reasons why we should keep the heart untroubled. First. ‘ln my father’s house are any man sions. I go to prepare a place for you.’ Can we not bear homeless lives for awhile, knowing that beyond fields of blue in the nightless city of God, homes are prepared for us? We are not to go into eternity as poor, uncared for strangers, as lost, bewilder-, ed travelers. We are not to go unknown and unknowing ; but we are to go home to bur father s house, to the mansions made ready for us, to our elder brother, to the loved and lost, to the dead and gone out of sight. A second reason for keeping the heart untroubled is, Jesus has promised, when he lias prepared a place for 11s to come and take us to himself. Not put off among strangers ; not even to some beautiful star, where, though beauty and gladness should be all around us we would feel lost and strange: but we are to be with Him. We cannot comprehend now all that is in these two words, ‘ W ith Jesus,’ but by-and-by we will know it all. Another reason : Whatsoever ye ask in my name that I will do.’ This promise is twice given. MVi 11 not leave yon comfortless,’ or or phanlosa; ‘ Because I live, ye shall live also.’ , 11 ,At that day ye shall know that I am in my father, and ye in me and 1 iri you.’ J Who can ask for more, and, yet, here is more. ‘lie that hath my commandments and keep them, he it is that lovctli me ; and he that lovctli me shall be loved of my father, and I will love him and will manifest to him.’ Yet once again: ‘ If a man love me, lie will keep my worels, and my father will love him, and we will come unto him and make our abode with him.’ And ever through all we are to have a comforter. When 111 doubt, this comforter will guide us. When amid the stride the heart dies down and we forget from whence cometb help, this ever present One wili ‘bring a 1 ! things to remembrance,’ Last of all, here is a part of our inheritance in this world, ‘ Peace ! peace! So, let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.’ On a hard, narrow bunk in a crowded hospital, a young soldier restlessly tossed, moaning in his troubled sleep, dreaming wild fever dreams, waking up to the dark reality. Ilis golden hair was swept far hack from the sun-browned brow ; a bright red spot bunied 011 either check, and his hands were burniug and nervous. The sick, mangled and dying were all around him with their wild, sunken eyes meeting his in every direction. Poor boy ! he was so young, only a beardless lad, a widowed mother’s pet, and yet so far away from her and home —sick and with straii- gers. lie closer! his eyes to shut out the wretch edness around him, and ’his spirit traveled back over the well-known, faraway mountain paths, to the home he had left. Oh! if he could only step across the old worn door step ; if he might lay liis burning face upon the coarse, yet soft snowy pillows of his own bed, in the little back shed room ; if he might feel his mother’s loving touches about him, or hear his sister’s careful step over the floor then this scorching fever could be endured, but not here where he was. The brave young spirit, that had left all at his country’s call, began to waver; bis parched lips quivered, but with the thought ; 1 am a soldier,’ he made an effort to shake off his weakness and to be strong and care less again. Turning himself from these sweet home pictures, he opened his eyes and saw the doctor's kind face bending over him. In an earnest tone, he said: ‘ Doctor, how long before I can go home?’ The physician, with his finger pressed against the soldier boy’s wrist, replied very gently: ‘ You are nearly home now; you are dying.’ ‘Dying? Oh! doctor, I can’t die without seeing them all once more. I must tell them good-bye. What will mother do without me?’ ‘ God will be with her,’ said the doctor softly as the tears came to his eyes. Pre sently he added: Is there any message you would like to leave, any letter sent? Anything done? A damp clammy sweat was gathering over his thin boyish face. Thoughts of home and mother and of the anguish in store for loved ones swept over him ;"liis spirit rose in rebellion, and be cried, I cannot die, I will not die/ But even as he spoke a strange pain darted through his head ; the fever was gone, but a chilly numbness was taking its place. In a fainter tone he said, ‘Bring me my Bible.’ They found his little old worn out knap sack, and in the bottom of it was his Bible ; the backs were gone and the leaves were greased and torn. He held it for a moment caressing it with his trembling hands, then softly said : ‘My sister’s Bible and her last gift, send it to iier when I am gone, and tell her only this, I have read and loved it/ Turning over the leaves, he paused at the fourteenth chapter of John, and read it through slowly; then lay for awhile with his blue eyes looking upward as if in prayer. In a little time he commenced reading over the same chapter, but soon paused, and said: ‘ Doctor, make them bring a light, I cannot see to read/ He was growing blind in the valley of shadows ; the glare of a noon-day sun was about him, but could give him no light. Comprehending it after a mo ment’s pause, he said; ‘There then read for me/ Ilis blue tipped finger rested at second verse, they read for him: ‘ln my Father’s house are many mansions.’ As they read he settled down in a calm stillness, and when they reached the twenty-seventh verse, ‘ Peace, I leave with you,’ they glanced up towards the dying boy. He was lying with folded hands, and a peaceful smile on his lips. He had gone home. The young Confederate soldier had en tered the city where they have no need of a candle to give light, no war, no pain no death .there. We always loved this fourteenth chapter of John, but we will lbve it more than ever now. —Greenville Daily News. In Memoriam. [By Bequest.] Catharine Cole Edwards. —Catherine Cole Edwards was bora in the village of Craw ford ville, on the 6th of February, 1835. Here she spent her childhood and girlhood until she was entered a pupil of College Tem ple, from which institution she was graduated with distinction in the summer of 1854. Re turning to her native village, she became on the 10th of October, 1855, the wife of Dr. John 11. Trippe, from which union there re mains one son, Percival Edwards Trippe, now a student in the State University. In the summer of 1858 she became, as we trust, the subject of Divine grace, and was baptiz ed into the fellowship of the Crawfordville Baptist church, by Rev. Dr. Williams. On the 14th of June, 1869. she became the wife of George W. Mitchell,, of which marriage there remained also one son—little Frank Mitchell. Early in the Spring of the present j r ear she repaired to the Surgical Institute, in Atlanta, to secure medical treatment for her eyes. While there she was attacked by acute rheumatism, from which, after two weeks of intense suffering she was relieved by death on the night of the 30th of May. From this brief sketch it will be seen that Mrs. Mitcheli had spent the larger portion of her life in the community in which she was born, and of this she had long been one of the most valuable and most valued mem bers. With natural gifts of a high order, improved by the best culture, she was emi nently qualified to be useful. That she rose to the full measure .of what these qualifica tions required, we will not say—for of this it is not our's to judge. But we know that by her life of labor and love, she left an impress upon her generation, the fill extent of which eternity alone can reveal. Her integrity in offices of public trust, her faithfulness in posts of solemn responsibility, the.taste, tact and skill whch she brougt to every enter prise wich enlisted her sympathies, inad6 her such a member of society as no com munity Can lose without feeling deeply and long. She had endeared herself tfo a large circle of friends, not only at her homo but in various parts of the State. For the forma tion of friendships, she was happily constitut ed — : her attachments being strong and last ing while her resentments were short-lived. Her popularity was, however largely, if not solely, the resu It of merit. God had given her a large sha re of the positive in her com position, which often brought her in antago nism with the conventional and the preten tious. But in every such conflict, the cor rectness of her motives stood approved, and her character rose to a higher level. Her worth was of that stamp which could stand the test of candid opposition, and shine all the brighter from having been subjected to the ordeal. Hers was indeed, not a common character nor a common life. The one was as remarkable for its intense devotion and sublime heroism as the othor was for its keen suffering, patient endurance, faithful effort and successful achievement. The Master had assigned unto her more than one .talent. Let us hope that at the great assize lie shalj confirm our opinion, that she was faithful over a few things, and bid her enter into a large possession. L. L. Y. —Christian Index.
