It will be remembered by our readers
that Professor M. Jacobs of the Pennsyl

published a book, giving a full and accu
rate account of the battle at that place,
in which he justly claimed for the Penn
sylvania Reserves the honor of taking
and holding -Round Top," and also gave
them credit for making a gallant charge
down "Little Round Top."
The Book was severely criticized by a
Col. now llragadier General Rice, com
manding Second Brigade, First Division,
Fifth Corps, who denied that the Reserves
were entitled to any credit whatever for
the part they took in the engagement,
and claimed for his men the honor duly
belonging t) ) th 3 Remrves. Rico's crit
icism was extensively published and corn
mentod tho press at large, and
Prof. Jacobs was soundly berated for his
' supposed inaccurate statements. Col.
Fisher, however. has come to the rescue
of the Reserves and Prof. Jacobs, and in
a letter to that gentleman fully corrobor
ates his account of that portion of the
fight in which the Reserves were engaged,
and proves conclusively that this gallant
body of Pennsylvanians perform all that
Prof. Jacobs claimed for them. Below
we publish Col. Fisher's letter.
THE PENNSYLVANIA RESERVES AT GET-
TYSBURG.
A Review of a Paldieatl7on entitled `'The
Truth. Regarding svene Importa.ne
torical Facts."
Rev. M. Jacobs, Professor of 31a.the
matie.s and Chemistry, Pennsylvania Col
lege, Gettysburg—Dens Sir :=ll7 slip
eat from a newspaper (said to be the
New York Times,) containing a letter ad
dresse,l yon, and signed "James 0.
Rice, Driz.alice-Cle.n;,r-I Commanding,
Second Prigade," of, suppbse,- First
Bivislott; Fifth' Corps, has just been
ha'ndedme, which after ,quoting several
partigraphs from your work, recently
pUbl shed, virtually denies to the Penti-'
sylvania Reserves ail 'Credit for their par
ticipation in the battle of 'GrettYsburg;
first denying that a charge' had been
made from "Little Round. Top," by our
division, or any part thereof; and claim
ing for one of the regiments Of his bri
gade the honor ,(if there be any honor)
of taking and 'Voiding "Round Top?'—
I. propose to state the facts connected
with the action of the Reserves on that
ever Memorable occasion, so far as they
came under my observation, and then
leave the question where it lute been
placed by official reports of the battle,
unless forced into some additional state
ments by future developments.
On the morning of July 2d this divi
sion marched from MeSherrystown, after
marching nearly all the night before,
near to the scenes of the battle-field. - We
arrived within sight and hearing of the
battle about, noon of that day. Same
time in the afternoon we were ordered
forward, and the division massed to the
right of' Little Round Top, but scarcely
had this been done, when our position
was changed, and we were thrown on the
hill in the rear of a part of the Second
Division of the Fifth Corpe, and very
shortly after taking up our new position,
my Brigade (the Third) being in front
was ordered to the lea, to s.upport the
brigade then commanded by Colonel
(new General) Rica, the enemy at this
time pressing the troops in our immedi
ate front so hard that they were driven
back, and the First Brigade of the Re
serves,
with one regiment of my brigade,
which had not yet got'en off the ground,
were ordered to charge the enemy. The
charge was male, led by Colonel McCand
less, and resulted as stated in your book,
in riving back the enemy, and in the
capture of a large number of prii-oners.
The charge, bear in mind, was not
made over the men or through the lines
of Colonel (now General) Bice, but two
or three hundred yards to his right.—
, You do not say, Sir, in your very inter
esting history of the day's proceedings,
that the Reserves charged down Little
Round Top, acro3s the valley, below, and
over the next hill, int) the woods be
yond." This. Sir. does not reflect "ei e lit
upon the fancy," bat is genuine hi,t, ry.
The Third )3rie de, which 1 then had
the honor to command (and have that
honor st'll,) in the meantnne was march
ing to the left to support Colonel Rice,
and on arriving near his hoe I was met
by him in person, and asked whether I
commanded the brigade then coning up.
I answered that 1 did. Colonel Rice at
once asked me to support him, as he had
been and was there sorely pressed by the
enemy. I requested him to point out the
ground where he wanted support. which
he did. 1 at once threw the Fifth Re
serve, commanded by Lieut. Col. Dare,
and the Twelfth, commanded by Col.
'Hardin, in the immQliate rear of his
line, and, at his request, threw the Ninth,
commanded by Lieut. Cul. Snodgrass,
• • • "Alt
Warner, on his left. The ring on
sides ceased very shortly afterwards.
Some time. atter the cessation of the
firing I asked Colonel Rice whether he
had not been annoyed by the enemy fir
ing from that hilt (indicating •'llound
Top") during the afternoon. lie replied
that, he had not. lat once remarked
that I would take that hill that night.—
The Colonel replied that it might prove
a hazardous enterprise. I replied that
all forms of active warfare were more or
less hazardous. Colonel Rice then pro
posed joining MC in taking the hill, to
which I consented, requesting him to
give me one of his regiments, and s I would
t“ke two of mine and start up the hill at
once. Col. Rice designated the Twen
tieth Maine, and er the commend of Cul.
Chamberlin. and I took the Filth and
Twelfth of the Reserves. About the
time that the above named troops were
ready to move General Crawford arrived
on the ground, and I at once communi
cated to him my intention cf taking the
hill (not then knowing it by the name of
"Round Top"), to which General Craw
ford replied. "Go ahead, and take it."
I deployed Colonel Chamberlin's regi
ment as skirmishers, I think for the reeson
Oat his men were armed with longer
ranged guns than mine, as my two reg . -
ments were armed with "smooth bores."
Of this, however, lam not certain. I
moved with this command up the bill.
taking quite a number of prisoners ; held
the hill during the night and until the
army moved from the ground, two or three
days afterwards. In the meantime I was
reinforced by a brigade from the Sixth
Corps. under command of; I think. Gen.
Wright. On my way up the hill I got
intimation, coming from sonic rebel pri
soners, that a movement was about being
made by the enemy to f-end a brigade
down tho valley. between Round Top and
Little Round top, for the purpose of cut
ting off and capturing the troops on
Round Top (they having heard us go up.)
I at once hastened down the kill, and
moved the Ninth and Tenth upon the
ground previously occupied by the Fifth
and Twelfth, so as W cover the valley and
prevent such a movement, should it be
attempted.
In the morning, in consultation with
Col. Rice, we agreed that it would be
betteito change the position of the troops
on Little Round Top. and I accordingly
threw my left around so as to cover the
valley, and ordered the men to throw up
a strong breastwork of stone, which was
yery soon done, thus rendering our posi
tion very strong and secure. This in
terview was the last I hal \rah General
(then Colonel) Rice.
I was not aware that General Rice, or
any other person, claimed the honor of
the conception of the ides, or the execu
tion of the work of taking Round Top,
until I incidentally learned from a con
versation with General Sykes, that the
credit was awarded to another.
I do not wish to deprive General Rice.
or any of his command, of the honor
justly due them; but in awarding him
and his brigade full credit for the noble
deeds of himself and men, I 'cannot per
mit the most humble soldier of my com
mand to be. deprive 1 of a-single laurel,
which - he is clearly entitled to wear. It
is true, Gettysburg mi , git be erased from
the lists of the battles in which the itc
oerves Lave participated, and enough will
be left imm irtilize them ; but having
shared its dangers, it is but right they
shoulsl share its glories.

I 0 glancing over the map of the eastern
portion of the State we notice but four
central inland towns,yaston at the Del
aware Crossing, Reading on the Schuyl
kill, Harrisburg and Columbia at the
Susquehanna Crossings. The former
three became central points, several, years
ago, and have been rapidly ineriasing, in
population and commercial importance.
With the completion of the Reading road
and the erection of a railroad bridge, Co
lumbia will have as much artificial advan
tage, as a central point, as either of said
towns, and more natural advantages than
all three of them together. She is almost
surrounded by iron ore banks, in the
midst of a rich and fertile, farming coun
try, producing all necessary supplies fur
operatives, and itas a,gigantie water power
which can be extended along the bank
below the dam, by a .canal or mill-race,
so as to afford room for Imildings, and
power enough for fifty or a hundred or
dinary manufacturing establishments.—
By the erection of a boom a large portion
of the lumber sawing will be transfered
to this point and as lumber can be run,
in the log, two dollars per thousand
cheaper than when sawed, the saving
would soon be sufficient to pay the ex
pense of a boom. Should a boom be
built it would require some sir or eight
gang Saw Mills, of the largest capacity,
to cut the logs that would be sent here
for sale.
By excavating a canal from the end of
the dam as deep us the bed of the river,
eight hundred feet below the dam and
between said canal and the river, will
give a water power equal to the whole
lower as now used, and can be used for
floating logs to the Mills and taking lum
ber away in boats, as water power is much
cheaper than steam, and as water mills
cost but about half as much assteam mills,
this arrangement, offers greater induce
ments than art.. offered atany other point
in Pennsylvania. The balance of this
power should be used in working up pig
metal into merchant iron, nails and all
kinds of machinery and machines used in
mauufacturing iron and lumber, also farm

GEO. D. Pazyrlce.—lt is said George
D. Prentice, the distinguished editor, hu
morist, historian and poet, has become
so intemperate that some of his personal
friends are about making arrangements
for his removal from Louisville, Ky., to
a country residence which they have 1
pre7ided for him. Here is mother strik- I
ing example of the fearful ruin being
wrought by intemperance upon the in
tellectual men of our laud. We often
shudder and grow heart sick over the
devastating effects of war, but the bane
ful evil of whicli Prentice has long been
a victim far transcends in the magnitude
of its results the most "cruel war" ever
waged upon the American Continent.—
It is an evil that is constantly at work,
preying upon the vitals of our country,
dethroning human reason, transforming
intelligent men into sodden fools and in
carnate demons, sapping the foundations
of social enjoyment, and poisoning those
pure fountains whence should flow the
peaceful streams of domestic happiness.
It is sad enough to think of the most ig
norant man:in community making ship.
wreck of mind and body upon the quick
sands of inebrity; but when we see such
intellects as that of Geo. D. Prentice
settling down into the gloomy night of
intemperance, we may well mourn over
the persistent self-ruin which character
izes some of our race.
Mn. Entson:—l claim to be a modest
and unpresuming citizen of our Boroitgit,
consequently I refer to the subject of this
communication, more with regret than
with pleasure. The other day when in
Pie discharge of my duty as a citizen for
the election of our Municipal otileers, I
was really surprised to ohserve with what
importance, certain individuals undertook
to impress the °dicers of the election with
their explanations of the laws relating to
the election- Prominent among them was
a certain es-Shoemaker, who when I had
arrived at the polls, bad mounted a bench
in the room where the election was being
held, and was expounding the laws relat
ing to Borough elections. Wax-ends never
Clew faster than did legal decisions from
this wax-encl.:awl Chief Justice. Thesub
ject in controversy was whether a citizen
between the ages of twenty-one and twen
ty-two (Ida .Boroughtaz baing paid) was a
legal voter, Chief Justice wax-and-awl
challqiiged his vote, and with much vehe
mence demanded the authority for any
man to vote at a Borough election, whose
ago was between the aforesaid periods.
Tho second case was that of a highly
respectable citizen, (Freeholder,) who has
been paying. his Limes r rntlarly for the
last twenty years, but his, name through
neglect, no,t appearing in' the `‘,C - crliector's
book; Wei refused his vote- Ent the most
flagrant decision which Chief Justice wax
and-awl gave •?n the OCCaSion was, that no
citizen, (even were he assessed,) was en
titled to - vote, who had not paid his tax for
the present year, when lo and behold ! on
reference being made to the tally sheet
and collector's book, Chief Justice wax
and-awl had voted early, and his own tax
had not been paid. Now, Mr. Editor, we
conceive some of these decisions not the
true intent and meaning of tho law, and
cannot conceive that it was ever intended
or contemplated by our incorporated Char
ter, that any citizen should be disfran
chised, because he was between the ages
of twenty-one and twenty-two. There are
a number of other points, which I would
desire to attract notice to in relation to our
10.te election, but space at present will not
permit. More anon. Cai
