oldiery turning out well, though some cases of "dodging around" may be noted. These cases are, however, generally brought up by a squad next day, who are detailed for that purpose. On last Friday the organization of the militia was completed by election of officers to fill the vacancies in two of the companies belonging to the city battalion. The election resulted in the choice of William McCreary as Captain; P. Haynes, 1st Lieut., and W. A. Ford, 2d Lieut., in company B. In company C, Pettigrew as Captain and Maj. C. V. Wintree as commander of the battalion. To-day the officers drill, and next Friday has been set apart for battalion drill. In the counties roundabout here the organization of companies goes on very slow, it being a hard matter to get the men together. This difficulty will, however, be obviated if the Legislature will pass some law requiring regular drills in the counties as well as in the cities, or if the Governor will issue a proclamation requiring it.

, in the midst of a violent storm of rain, some of the men lay down by the way to rest. Officers sent back for them failed to find many in the obscurity of the night, and these, with some stragglers, fell into the hands of the enemy. Brig. Gen. Pettigrew was mortally wounded in an attack made by a small body of cavalry, which was unfortunately mistaken for our own and permitted to enter our lines. He was brought to Bunker Hill, where he expired a few days afterwards. He was a brave and aischarge of duty, leaving the army to mourn their loss and emulate their noble examples. Brig. Gens. Kemper. Armistead, Scales, G. T. Anderson, Hampton, J. M. Jones, and Jenkins, were also wounded. Brig. Gen. Archer was taken prisoner. Gen. Pettigrew, though wounded at Gettysburg, continued in command until he was mortally wounded near Falling Waters. The loss of the enemy is unknown, but from observation on the field, and his subsequent movements, it is supposed that he suffered sev

South this man said: "I do not believe there has been a day since the election of President Lincoln when, if an ordinance of secession could have been fairly submitted to the mass of the people, in any single Southern State a majority of ballots would have been given in its favor. No, not in South Carolina. It is not possible that the majority of the people, even of that State, if permitted, without fear or favor, to give a ballot on the question, would have abandoned a leader like Pettigrew, and all the memories of the Gadsdens, the Rutledge, and the Colesworth Pinckneys of the revolutionary and constitutional age, to follow the agitators of the present day." With the stiff corpses of one thousand two hundred and eight eighty men lying in a semi-circle around him, killed dead on the field for the express purpose of giving the lie to all such statements, this Massachusetts Yankee stood on the platform at Gettysburg and read aloud this printed folly. He follows it by a l

n. Heth, who was then lying at Cashtown, Pa., with his division, ordered Brig.-Gen. Pettigrew to march his brigade to Gettysburg and search the town for supplies, espssissippians, except one regiment, was in line on the left of the same road. Pettigrew's N C brigade, and Heth's (old) Virginia brigade, under Col. John M. Brockenbon the right and left of the road, as follows: Archer's brigade on the right, Pettigrew in the centre, and Brockenbrough on the left centre, and Davis on the left. s it went, and during the whole way under a perfect storm of shot and shell. Pettigrew's men now became engaged with a large body of the enemy, and fought with a command from that time until the division went out of action devolved upon Brig.-Gen. Pettigrew, who handled his men with great skill and ability. The light divisi and soon passed the division of Major Gen. Heth, now under command of Brigadier Gen.

f Davis's Miss., Archer's Tenn., Brockenbrough's Va., and Pettigrew's N. C. brigades, and Lone and Scales's brigades, of Pend's frowning line of works. Heth's division, commanded by Pettigrew, was to move on the same line as Pickett, and attack the rs, the order came to advance. Pickett on the right, and Pettigrew on the left, moved forward. In the two previous days batattle, regiments were commanded by Lieutenants. Brigadier General Pettigrew was wounded sufficiently, in the judgment of hisrder to preserve perspicuity and connection we alluded to Pettigrew and Trimble's parts in the ever memorable charge. It will thus be remembered that Pettigrew's column claims only to have fallen back when forced to do so by overpowering numbers, anamounted to 224 killed, 1,140 wounded, and 1,500 missing. Pettigrew's loss was fully one thousand more, and Trimble's perhaps as great as Pettigrew's. The noble Garnett was killed, and the gallant Armistead fell mortally wounded. The gallant Kemper
