To the E litor of the PhiUddpbit Press:
Mr. Davis bu a mania for criticism aua is
never to macb at borne m when asriiliog
others' acta and motives. What be aays
about the bxtile of Getlyabor* shows bow
ignorant be is of the facts or bow willful In
his statement of them. In fact, Davis
seems to know very little of the military
history of the confederacy, if yon judge him
by his book. In his work as trail as in
what he says to the Press he either forgets
or ignores the most familiar facta In rela
tion to the engagement at Gettysburg. In
the first volume of bis work,
page 440, referring to Gettys
burg. he says: "Heth’s, the leading
division of Hill’s corps, met the enemy in
front of Gettysburg on the morning of the
first of Joly, driving him back to within a
short distance of the town; the advance
then encountered a Urge force, with which
two of Hill's divisions became engaged.
Ewell, coming np with two of bit divisions,
joined in the engagement, and the opposing
force was driven through Gettysburg with
heavy loss, ice'.odlng ab>at five thousand
prisoners and several pieces of artillery.”
"Under the instructions given to them
not to bring on a general engagement these
corps bivouacked on the ground they had
"The substance of thle fa taken from
General Lro's account of that camps go
In his Interview published. In the Press
of the 10th instant,^be &eys: *‘Long*lrcet
July, and if he had moved up with hib
troops could have reached K »undtop before
a federal soldier was on it, and co one
questions the result that w. uld have Icl
lowed. It will not do.for him to say tbit be
had no orders to move He heard the firing
and should have marched upon it.”
When Mr. Davis made this statement be
knew that the orders which forbade or
checked the farther advance of the second
and third ourpa and out their, in bivouac
on the night of the first would have con
trolled in the same manner the movement*
of the first oorpe bad it been within reach
of the engagement of that nay.
He knew that the engagement was over
at 3 p m , the hour of Ha/.oock’s arrival on
the federal aide of the field.
lie knew that at that boar one division
(Pickett's) of the troops of the 1st corpt»
were on detached service at Chambersburg
under General Lee's special orders and be
yond my control: that the divisions of
McLawsand Hood were far beyond the
leach of the engagement, and that these
three divisions were all of which the 1st
c»rpe was c imposed
lie koew that at the first moment of
1 earing that a general engagement was
probable my orders were dispatched has-
trning (be advance of the two dtviaiom-
t »en under my command, with advice of
impending battle.
He knew that these divisions made a
forced march daring a great part of the
night of tha lit in order to reach the field
of that day as early as possible on the 2d.
He Knew General Hood8 published
account of the situation at the time of this
engagement said:
"While lying iocimpnot far from Cham
bersburg information was received that
Kwell and Hill wtr* about to come in con
tact with the enemy near Gettysburg. My
troops, together with McLsw’b division,
were put In motion upon the most direct
road to that point, which, after a hard
march, we reached btf ire or at sunrise on
the 2d of July. Bo imperative had been the
orders to hss'en forward with all possible
speed (bat on the march my troops were
allowed to ball et.il rest only two hours dur
ing the night from the lat to the 21 ui
July.” (Southern Historical Papers, Octo
ber, Ib77.)
Knowing these facts, Mr. Davis kne#
When he made ibis statement, that it was as
opposed to the uuiLs of the C&se as anything
else that he could have manufactured.”
Mr. Djvia quotes frem an address from
General l’ei.d>eion. in which the latter ac
cures me of having talk'd to obey the orders
of General Lie fra sunrise ausck ou tin
2d of July.
That statement is now recogniz'd by
everyone except Mr. Davises one of General
Pendleton's dreams It iu»y, however, bt
well to give the facia in regard to what is
now generally accepted as a romance, for
these who only know of the ini) orient posi
tion Mr. Davie held may in the future
attach mure importance io it than it de
serves I c iv* around vulmne, page 4bl 1, he
quotes from the address of General Pendie-

17dt of January, 1873 aa follow*:

When this letter was written it was sup
posed that there would be occasion to pub

ter of which it treats ia therefore more im
press!ve. General Lee indicated a similar
estimate of bia official character by reliev
ing him of bia position in the army of
northern Virginia shortly after the battle
of Gettysburg and Appointing General Long
to succeed him, though General Lee pre
pared a bridge for his retreat.
The effort of Mr. Davis’s life seems
to have been to defame confederate
generals wbese energy and applica
tion molded the soutnern citizens into
soldiers upon whose valiant deeds
the confederate cause rose and passed like a
meteor across the horizon, but its collapse
was inevitable from the confusing element
in its head, and its fall as natural as gravi

divine truth, his last effort is to put the
odium of his own shortcomings upon the
southern people. He says: "In all free

pend upon public opinion; in infant repub
lie* this, for every reason, is peculiarly tbe
case. The volume given to the voice of dis
affection was, therefore, most seriously felt

There is no instance in the history of
nations of a people who gave themselves up
so completely in heart and mind and aub-
stance to their cause as did the people of
tbe south Even the noble women thought
it sweet to offer any sacrifice that might
tend to advance iu interests.
Mr. Davis's reference to General Hood'
Tennessee campaign is indeed amtifing.
He says to the Press that it was made not
withstanding his orders for other move

from command, he says: "That It was in

It is unfortunate enough to approve a
plan of campaign that has no element of
success before tne fact is established To
approve after signal failure is in keeping
with the character of Mr. Davis.

THE ATLANTA COTTON EXPOSITION*
Special Correspondence Constitution. - v
London, July 5.—The Hon. H. V. if.
Miller, who has been in London for some
days past, and is now visiting Manchester,
Bradford, Leeds, Liverpool, etc., prior to
his continental tour, in the interest of yonr
forthcoming International cotton exposi
tion, tells me his exertions arc not altogether
to be expected or marked with that ‘‘bril-
iant success” he would earnestly desire.
While there is every wish on the
part of English manufacturers to participate
in Atlanta’s exposition there are certain
American barriers that more or less prevent
the practical expression and carrying out
this wish. Yet there are evidences that
these will not be an absolute deterrence,
and to prove this in a measure Commission
er Miller goes on his promoting tour to the
English provinces.
The first barrier to the English exhibitor
at your exposition is the customs tariff. It
blocks the results in commercial direct
trade with the south, however attractive in
quality and economy the English exhibits
may be. An almost prohibition prevails. The
English manufacturer cannot readily com
prehend the w&£m cf this excessive tariff
policy which makes the great southern ag
ricultural districts pay for the maintainance
of a comparatively small northern manu
facturing and monopoly locality. "The
slavery of commerce,” as they call it, ia
thrust upon the people of the south by a
few industrial autocrats of the north, who
have legislated for a class interest, and have
coerced the southern people into consuming
an inferior and dearer domestic article to
the exclusion of a superior and cheaper
foreign one.
The liberty of trade, as they say, is re
stricted, and in some instances positively
denied to a vast population in the south.
No man is so severely taxed as the south
erner. Standing up in his clothes, from his
hat to his boots, nis under to his outer cloth
ing, he is indirectly and directly taxed
more than any subject of the empires of
Europe. He is also denied a choice in the
matter, by the reason of a high protective
tariff—protecting, forsooth, the few north
ern manufacturers at the expense of the
southern agriculturalists. Tne English
manufacturer, therefore, points out how
severely you are denied the opportunity of
his sending to you honest wares for an
honest price. There ia no inducement to
him to supply your markets. There is
every hindrance in his way to have direct
trade with your ports, your cities and
towns. He is met with prohibitions at
every point, and the intelligent people of
the United States bear the brunt of this
policy—while a few autocratic manu
facturing monopolists enjoy the bene
fits of their own class legislation.
Commissioner Miller will, however, en
deavor to obtain an audience with the re
spective chambers of commerce in all. and
other, of the localities of England likely to
be interested in the Atlanta exposition.
He will, while exhibiting the evils, in prin
ciple, of protective-prohibitory duties, give
all aud every allowance to the protected.
It isa broad and big theme, and not one to
be reformed by radical remedies but by
gradual, conservative intelligence and
statesmanship thought, acting upon a
people’s true interests. The evidences are
not yet strongly presented to an agricultu
ral people of the fostering large care of
protection in preserving practically theold,
the wasteful, and the monopolizing ma
chinery and methods which support the
few at the expense of the many. The
healthy and bracing influences and effects
of even a moderate aud just competition,
in point of economy and excellence, are
kept in camera by certain parochial and
class politicians.
The main strength of protectionism lies
chiefly in the hands of the monopolists,
whose earnest zeal and boldness hedge
them around with courage and confidence
in going still farther. The same motives
are not prevailing with a too willingly taxed
public. The iguorance of the multitude
as to the facts aud the principles involved
in a great and growing controversy that this
subject ia creating in England, in France
aDd in Germany, just now, is more apparent
in the United States than elsewhere. Our
people, aud particularly cur southern pec—.
pie, are too supine on this subject. Venera
ble and venal sophisms easily dupe an agri
cultural population educated in the evils of
manufacturing monopolists. Nothing is so
strong and so difficult to destroy as an eco
nomical fallacy, and the more so when it is
pressed with characteristic vigor.
Protectionists have long purses and
loud voices, however short their prin
ciples and feeble their logic.

Remarkable Career of Sitting Ball,
Warrior and Diplomatist.
New York Herald.
Sitting Bull’s surrender may be said to
close one of the most remarkable careers
Indian history. As a fighter he un
doubtedly ranks higher than the Seminole
chief, Billy Bowlegs, who gave General
Scott so many "rubs” in Florida. As a
diplomatist he heads the Indian list. As a
strategist and commander he has earned
the title ot .the 8ioux Napoleon. Here
favorable comparisons must end, however.
There is nothing in his life that can com
mend him to civilization. A savage in the
worst sense, he has despised our institu
tions and seldom missed an opportunity to
batcher and mutilate the whites who have
fallen into his hands, committing outrages
that have shocked every sense of humanity.
A brief review of some of his acts, how
ever, will prove of interest:
Fourteen years ago he was what is known
as a blanket Indian on the plains. In 186D
he began to show that bold, defiant spirit
and hatred of our race which subsequently
placed the nation in mourning. At that
time General Henry A. Morrow was in com
mand of the United States forces at Ft. Bu
ford,on the Missouri river. Various depreda
tions were reported in the vicinity of Bu
ford, and these were charged to Sitting
Bull. The wily Indian denied all knowl
edge ot these matters. Soon the settlers
entered on a campaign of retaliation, and
one of Bull’s warriors was killed. This he
declared an unjust act of reprisal, and
avowed his intention of avenging the death
of the Indian.
General Morrow hearing this arranged to
meet Sitting Bull, and being convinced
that in thia instance the settlers were
wrong Morrow pacified him by piling pres
ents on the dead, pursuant to Indian usage.
In so doing, however, he created a danger
ous enemy. His spirit of independence be
came known, the bold Indians flocked
around him from all quarters and he soon
found himself at the nead of one of the
most powerful and most dangerous bands
on the plains. And, as his band increased
m strength, Sitting Bull's arrogance and
ferocity became more marked. He refused
to live on a reservation, went into camp in
a wild part of the country on the Yellow
stone river and claimed all the land along
that stream and its tributaries. Early in
the year 1875 some settlers from Montana
went down the Yellowstone and bnilt a fort
on the territory claimed by the Indians.
Sitting Boll*ordered them away. They
paid no attention to him, and he sent some
men and shut them np in their stockade.
One of Sitting Bull's invaders was killed by
the whites; then Sitting Bull retaliated by
killing two of the Montanians. This opened
a war, which lasted until January, 1876.
Fort Pease, as the settlers called their in-
closure, contained only forty-seven whites,
against whom 500 Indians were sent. The
siege was complete. For three months the
whites kept the savages at bay. daring
which period six of their number were
killed and nine wounded. The provisions
at Fort Pease gave out aud starvation
threatened to make short work of the hardy
mountaineers.
It waa resolved to send for help, and two
men left the fort one night under the cover
of darkness, and succeeded in reaching
Fort Ellis after a perilous journey on foot
on February -20, 1870. The alarm was
given, and General Terry, the department
commander, ordered that Fort Pease be
relieved immediately and at all hazards.
Within two days four companies of the
Second United States cavalry, three com
panies of Montana militia and 100 friendly
Crow Indians were on the march. Bitting
Bull withdrew before the troops reached
Fort Pease on March 6, without firiDg a
shot. He declared his only desire was to
have the country rid of the offensive white
man.
