" Whebesoeveb throughout the civilized world the accounts of this great warfare are read, and down to the latest period of timt^ in the glorious annals of our common country, there will be no brighter page than that which relates The Battles of Getttb* BIJBG." Edward Everett at Gettyiburg, Nov, 19th, 1868i INTRODUCTORY. IT is claiined that in no battle during the war of the Eebellion, was there ever displayed such a bril liant mastery of the arts of war — as was exhibited by both armies on the field of Gettysburg. This gigan- tic struggle was fraught with such mighty results, that the story of those three days in July, 1863, will remain forever vividly depicted upon the pages pf history. Much has been written of this great battle. No con- flict between the Blue and the Gray, has been more fully described — and yet — every new account finds thousands of eager readers. Every one having access to this vast library is supposed to be familiar with the story of Gettysburg, yet — the average citizen has not the time, nor inclination, to peruse volume after volume in the search for the substance of fact. In the preparation of this book, the Author has had access to the best works on Gettysburg, together with his "Notes," — the accumulation of many years acquired upon the field, from prominent officers and men belong- ing to both armies with whom he has come in contact. He therefore takes pleasure in presenting to th« public, this condensed story of "Gettysburg: What they did here" — with the belief that all will find it historically true and interesting. Luther W.

Composition, Commanders, Position, and Movements OF the Armies during the month of June, 1863. Soon after the battle of Chancellorsville in May, 1863, was the time that the Confederate authorities deter- mined to have their army invade the north, and by one gupreme eifort overthrow the Federal Grovernment. The causes which led to this decision were, that the term of many of the Union soldiers was expiring, and the re- mainder were believed to be greatly affected by their late defeat at Chancellorsville. The Confederate Army under General Robert E. Lee* had been reorganized into three corps, which were without doubt the best equipped and drilled bodies of men ever marsh- aled in this country; and Lee believed his army able to accomplish successfully any undertaking. This magnificent army on the 1st of June, 1863, was at Fredericks burg, Virginia, one hundred and fifty-eight miles south of Commanding Confederate Forces. vrCttyS DUrg. ^Kames'of officers of the Confederate army printed in '■'■Italics," Union officer? in Small Capitals. 8 GETTYSBUKS: WHAT THEY DID HERE.

On the 2nd of June, General Lee commenced the with- drawal of his armj^ from Fredericksburg, and by the 8th, Generals Ewell and Longstreet, with their corps^ arrived at Culpeper, tc which locality General J. E. B. Stuart had already advanced his cavalry. These movements had been made so quietly that General Hooker was not aware of them; he was, however, wary and suspicious, 10 flBTTYSBURG: WHAT THEY DID HERB. THE APPBOACHES 10 GETTYSBUBG. and from the nature of the reports brought him, felt confident that an important movement w^s contemplated by General Lee. [Note. — The strength of a Confederate Corps or division at the battle of Gettysburg was double that of a Union organization of the same name.l OETTrSBURG: WHAT THBT DID HERB. 11 General Hooker, on the 5th of June, ordered a recon- noissance by part of the Sixth Corps at "Franklin's Crossing," below Fredericksburg. On the 8th, Gf-eneral Pleasonton's cav9,lry, and two brigades of infantry, were ordered across the Rappahannock, with instruc- tions to attack the Confederates at Beverly Ford, and ascertain whether any considerable portion of them had broken camp. On the morning of the 9th, these forces crossed the river and attacked Stuart's cavalry. A ter- rific struggle ensued, in which the Confederates were defeated and driven from the field. However, on the arrival of Ewell's infantry from Gulpeper, General Plba- SONTON withdrew his forces, having fully accomplished bis object, recrossed the river, and reported to General Hooker. These movements, along with others, demon- strated the fact that Lee's forces were moving north beyond the Union right. On the 10th, Ewell's corps advanced beyond the Blue Bidge, passed north through Cheater Gap, and marched rapidly up the Shenandoah Valley. Imhoden's Command on his left. Jenkins' cavalry, with Modes' infantry divi- sion, pressed north to Martinsburg. General Stuart's cavalry were directed east of the Blue Ridge, to guard the passes, mask Lee's movements, and delay the advance of Hooker's army. On the 13th, Ewell's two divisions, Early's and Johnson's, arrived in the vicinity of Win- chester. On the 14th, they attacked General Milroy's forces, who were hemmed in. On the early morning of the 15th, MiLROY attempting to steal his way out, was discovered by the Confederates, but succeeded in break- ing through and retreated in haste. On the 14th, Hill's corps abandoned Fredericksburg, moved north through Chester Gap, and arrived at Shep- herdstowri on tfie 23rd. On the 15th, Longstreet hurried northward, and in his movements covered the mountain gaps. On the 16th, Jenkins, with two thousand troopers, penetrated into Pennsylvania as far as Chambersburg. 12 GETTYSBURG: WHAT THEY DID HERB. Here he appropriated everything of value he could find; then, fearful of his communications with Eiuell, he fell back .to Williamsport with his plunder. General Hooker put the Union army in motion on the 13th of June, and took the most energetic measures to keep his command between the enemy and the National Capital. General Pleasonton's cav- alry encountered Stuart's troopers on the ITth, at Aldie ; on the 19th, at Middleburg, and on the 21st, at Up- perville. At the latter place, after a fierce and bloody engagement, the Confederate cavalry were forced to retreat through Ashby's Gap, after which Pleasonton started to rejoin the infantry. General Lee was now convinced that Hooker would not attack him south of the Potomac; and, on the 22nd, he ordered Eivell to cross the river into Maryland. Jenkins, being thus reinforced, advanced again to Ohambersburg, where Bodes' and Johnson's divisions joined him on the 23rd. Early's di- vision had, in the mean- time, been ordered across the mountains via Get- tysburg to York, with in- structions to destroy the railroads, and to secure the bridge across the Susque- hanna at Wrightsville, after which to move north, and with Bodes' and Johnson's divisions take possession of Harrisburg. On the 23rd, Lee ordered HiU's and Long- street's corps to cross the Potomac, to unite at Hagers- town, and follow Ewell's corps up the Cumberland Valley. General Hooker learning that Lee was concentrating his forces north of the river, gave Orders for the advance DiSItOTINTED GAVALBTUAN. gbttysbdrg: what they wid here. 13 of his army on a line parallel to that of the enemy. Oti the 25th and 26th, the Union army crossed the Potomac at Edwards' Ferry, and hy the 28th were massed between Harper's Ferry and Frederick. On the 26th, Early's division (Gordon's brigade) arrived in Gettysburg, meet- ing at this place a small detachment of infantry and cavalry, which were quickly put to flight. The first shots, however, fired on this great battle-field were ex- changed between these forces and White's cavalry, at the west end of Chambershurg street, and tiie first Union goldier, whose blood baptized this historic field, was that of private G. W. Sandoe, a member of Co. B, an independent cavalry organization from Gettysburg and vicinity. On the 28th, Early's division reached York and Wrightsville. At the latter place Gordon's brigade, attempting to cross the Susquehanna by the bridge to Columbia, Colonel Robert Crane ordered the structure to be fired, and' it was entirely consumed. General Hooker well knew that Lee's army outnum- bered his own, and requested of General Halleck per- mission to control the ten thousand men under French at Harper's Fer- ry. This Halleck refused to do, and Hooker, seeing that he was net permitted to ma- noeuver his army, asked to be relieved from its com- mand. His resignation was accepted, and on the morn- ing of the 28th, General George G. Meade was ap- pointed to the command. General Meade at once or- dered the Union forces northward, with the deter- Generai geoboe a.

The ~^cavalry take position in front, to the right and left of the infantry. KiLPATRiCK in front, Gregg on the right, and Bufobd on the left. General Stuart having been separated from Lee's infantry in -Virginia, set off on his raid around the right of the Union army on the 24th. He made a wide detour to conceal his object, reached the Potomac on the 27th, in the rear of Hooker, crossed the river near Drainesville, intending to rejoin Lee by marching through Maryland. On the 29th he encountered at Westminster a detach- ment of Union cavalry which were compelled to give way. On the 30th as he marched north with the hope of meeting Early's division, he ran into Kilpatrick's cavalry at Hanover, where a short but spirited struggle took place, in which Stuart was forced to retreat north- ward. This dashing cavalryman in whom Lee placed great coniidence, marched his tired troopers all night, and the next day, July 1st, reached Carlisle, only to learn that Ewell's divisions had moved south toward Gettysburg. He demanded the surrender of General W. F. Smith's forces who held Carlisle, threw shell into the town, burned the government barracks, and then moved south, via Mount Holly Gap, arriving on the battle-field the afternoon of July 2nd, having been separated from his chief for seven days. General Lee on the evening of the 28th, at Chambersburg, received the st&r».'^ng intel- ligence that Hooker's army had crossed the Potomac into Maryland. He still believed them to be in Vir- ginia — held in check by Stuart. General Lee on receiv- ing this information determined to concentrate his army, he sent Ewell orders to move back to Carlisle, and to abandon his designs upon Harrisburg. Bodes' and Early's divisions were to join Hill's corps in the vicinity GETTYSBURG: WHAT THEY DID HERB. 15 of Gettysburg, whilst Johnson's division retraced their steps with the artillery and trains, as far as Shippens- burg, theace to the left to Fayetteville, on the Cham- bersburg Pike. As Eioell fell back he was followed by General W. F. Smith's forces as far as Carlisle. On the 30th, Hill's and Ewell's corps were advancing toward Gettysburg. When Heth's division of Hill's corps reached Cashtown oil the Chambersburg Pike, Petti- grew's brigade, with several wagons were ordered to Gettysburg to secure clothing and shoes. At about this same time General Buford's cavalry division was approaching Gettysburg on the Emmitts- burg road, and as Fettigrew's soldiers were about enter- ing the town from the west, Buford came thundering into it from the south, and the Confederates had barely time to fall back to a position on Marsh Creek, where Pettigrew halted and notified Heth that Gettysburg was occupied'by the Union forces. General Buford's troopers passed through the town at half past eleven o'clock A. M. Halting west of Seminary Ridge they went into camp. Gamble's brigade south of the railroad covered the approaches from Chambersburg and Hagerstown. Devin's brigade north of the railroad had videttes placed on all the roads north and north- west. The information obtained by General Buford was sent to General Keynolds, who was instructed to occupy Gettysburg. This heroic soldier advanced the First Corps from Emmittsburg to Marsh Creek on the Emmittsburg road, and within five and one-half miles of Gettysburg. General Meade moved forward his right wing to Manchester. On the night of the 30th, Gene- ral Buford rode to Marsh Creek, and held a conference with General Reynolds, and during the night returned to his headquarters in Gettysburg with one of Rey- nolds' staff, who was to report to his chief on the early morning of July 1st. 16 GETTYSBURG: WHAT THEY DID HERE.

The First Day's Battle op Gettysburg, JntT IsT, 1863. Very early on the morning of July Ist, Sill's corps was advancing on the Chambersburg Pike toward Get- tysburg. Heth's division : brigades — Davis, Archer and Brockenhrough, joined Pettigrew's brigade at Marsh Creek. Here the first gun of the battle was fired. Buford's videttes, a detachment of the 8th Illinois, opened fire aa the Confederates moved forward to cross the stream. Heth's division advanced quickly and the Union picketa were forced to retire. General Buford at 'once dis- mounted his cavalry and posted them in the most ad- vantageous manner along the banks of Willoughby'a Kun. Gamble's brigade, south of the railroad extend their left to the Hagerstown road. Devin's brigade north, extend their right to the Mummasburg road. Calif's 2nd U. S. Battery was placed across the pike on McPherson's Ridge in support. When the Confede- rates reached Herr'sKidge, General Heth deployed Davis' and Archer's brigades, north and south of the Cham- bersburg Pike. These two brigades were supported by Marye's Virginia battery, which opened upon Calif's horse artillery. Fegram's battalion are soon in position along Herr's ridge, their left resting at the Minnigh farm buildings. It was under the cover of Marye's guna that Dctvis' and Archer's brigades advanced to attack Buford's cavalrymen. Calif's guns being ably manned fired at first case shot, then shell, and when the enemy got within three hundred yards, grape and canister. However, the Confederate infantry were soon desperate- ly engaged with Buford's troopers, who made so deter- mined and stubborn a resistance that Heth believed hia 18 OBTTYSBUBa: WHAT THBT DID HBBX. men had encountered a strong force of infantry. Calif's gunners being assailed on every side stood bravely by their pieces, and worked them with terrible effect. Buford's soldiers fought wjth carbines which were very effective, and when their ammunition was exhausted, the enemy pressing forward at points reached close quarters, when they used their Colt's revolvers to the best possi'- We advantage. The cavalry made a gallant and glori- ous fight, and only fell back from the front when relieved by the infantry. At 9 o'clock General Beynolds arrived in Gettysburg, in advance of the First Corps. After interview- ing several citizens, he dashed out the Chambersburg Pike to the front.. This heroic ofScer in company with Bu- FORD made a hasty examination of the lines, and seeing the desperate struggle the cav- alrymen were en- gaged in, doubted their ability to bold the enemy in check much long- er. He at once dis- patched a messen- ger tp General WAdswobth, and directed his divi- sion to be moved across the fields from the Emmittsbnrg road under cover of Seminary Bidge, to the front.

This battery was placed by Reynolds in poisition on McPherson's Ridge to the right of Calif's guns. Cut- ler's regiments are advanced to its support, the 14th and 95th New York regiments on the left, the 76th and liWa. New York, and the 56th Pennsylvania regiments on the right. As these troops take position on.McPher- son's and Oak Ridges, Archer's and Davis' brigades were advancing. Davis struck the right and front of Cut- ler's brigade. The 56th Pennsylvania opened fire, but with the '76th New York was swept baxjk to Seminary Ridge; but the 147th New York failed to retire and were hemmed in by the Confederates. Dariis' advance un- covered the right of the 14th Brooklyn and 95th New York regiments on McPherson's Ridge, and Archer's bri- gade more to the south menaced their left, they \?s»:.< fall back along with Hall's 2nd Maine bat- tery, which withdrew by sections fighting as they retired. At this critical moment General Dou- blbday sent the 6th Wis- consin regiment of Mere- dith's brigade, to Cut- ler's relief, they galfant- ly charged across the fields from near the Sem- inary against Davis' ex- posed flank, and being reiriforced by the 14th and 95th New York regi- ments, they checked Davis' advance, liberated the 147th New York from its perilous situation, and drove several hundred of Davis)j^ea. into the railroad cutting, where Position at 10 o'clock A. H. First Day. 22 getttsbukg: what they did here. they surrendered, the remaiiiJer escaping by a hasty retreat. Meredith'S' "Iron Brigade" had formed battle line along the west front of Seminary Grove. This brigade had iive regiments, viz., 19th Indiana, 24th Michigan, 2nd, 6th and 7th Wisconsin. ^rcAer's brigade in their advance were driving Gamble's troopers through McPherson's Grove. General Doubleday sent forward the "Iron Brigade," to secure. the woods and to hold the same. They advanced quickly, and on reaching Oak Eidge, General Reynolds rode into the grove in their front, to examine the same, — he was instantly killed by a rifle ball. Meredith's brigade then charged boldly into the grove, enveloped the right flank of Archer's command, and captured General Archer and over one thousand of bis men, and drove the remainder west of Willoughby's Eun. General Doubleday now assumed command, -re-formed and strength- ened the Knes. On thp arrival of Eowlby's divi- sion, brigades — Stone's and Biddle's, the former was placed on the right of Meredith, their right connecting with the left of Cutler's ) brigade. Biddle's brigade on the left of Meredith, extend- ed their left south to the Hagerstown road. Eob- inson's division, bri- gades — Paul's and Bax- ter's, were placed in re- serve at the Seminary, around which they threw up a line of intrenchments.

In the meantime Early's division of EweU'a Corps, had arrived by the Harrisburg road, and were ordered to attack the right of Sohurz's Eleventh Corps. General Early, under the fire of Jones' artillery, ad- vanced Gordon's brigade against Barlow's division, who made a desperate resistance. General Barlow was wounded and his two brigades were compelled to fall back.

At this time the position of the Union forces was a most critical one. The Confederates advanced in massive columns. The fighting was terrible along the whole line. The regiments on the left (Bid- die's) being attacked in front by McGo^joan's, and in flank by Lane's brigades, one after another were forced back to Seminary Ridge. Meredith's brigade, being reduced to a handful of men, was compelled to give way. Stone's brigade, on their right, stood facing Scales: they Boon received a flank fire, and were forced to fall back, fighting as they retired. General Doublbday, seeing his command outflanked; the Eleventh Corps in rapid retreat in his rear; ordered the First Corps to fall back to Ceme- tery Hill. The Confederates finding the Union troops withdrawing, rushed after them in great aumbers, and during the retreat that fpllowed the men became panic- stricken, were -separated from their commands, and many were made prisoners in the streets, and on the roads leading back to Cemetery Hill. General Meade, on be- ing informed of the death of General Reynolds, ap- pointed General Hancock to the command of the left wing, aij.d ordered him to the front. Should Hancock find the posi- tion of the Union forces at Gettysburg a strong one, he was instructed to hold the same, and Meade would order up his entire army.

When the Union forces reached the field on the morning of the 2nd, they were quickly moved into position. General Geary's division of the Twelfth Corps was ordered from left to right, where Eugbr's division was to Join them in extending the right of Wadsvorth's divisioh of the First Corps on Gulp's Hill. General Sickles was instructed to occupy the ground vacated by Geary — his left to rest on Little Bound Top, his right to extend north along Cemetery Ridge. The Second Corps was stationed along the crest of Cemetery Ridge, between the right of Sickles' Third Corps, and Robinson's division of the First Corps at Ziegler's Grove. At half past twelve o'clock the line was complete and, as formed, resembled an immense hook: Cemetery Ridge forming the shank — Cemetery Hill the curve — and Culp's Hill the end of the hook. A grand position, fully four miles in length, with the advantage of being easily reinforced at any ^art by short marches. On the early afternoon of the 2nd, the Confederate army had all reached the field, with the exception of Pickett's division, which was on the road from Cham- 32 GETTYSBURG: WHAT THEY DID HERB. bersburg. Their line of battle extended from east of Rock Creek, west through Middle street, Grettysburg, to Seminary Ridge, thence south along this Ridge to a point west of the Round Tops. Long street's Corps oc- cupied the right of the line, with Hood's and McLaws' divisions — Hill's Corps the cen- ter, with Anderson' s, Pender's, and Heth's di- visions — Ewell's Corps on the left, extending their line east through the town to Benner's Hill: Bodes' division on the right — Early's division in the center — and John- son's division on the left.

Thb Sbcond Day's Battle of Gettysburg, July 2nd. On the morning of the 2nd, General Sickles believ- ing it desirable to occupy a position in his front, at the Emmittsburg road, Peach Orchard, and Devil's Den — which if held by the enemy, would make his own ground untenable — assu- med the responsibility of advancing his two divi- sions to a new line. He therefore moved Birney's division southwest, and ordered Humphreys to place his division along the Emmittsburg road. Greneral Birney placed Wa.rd's brigade on the left at the Devil's Den, De Trobriand's brigade in the center, and Graham's brigade on the right at the Peach Orchard. Humphreys joined the left of his division with Gra- ham at the Sherfy buildings on the Emmittsburg road— Brewster's brigade on the left, Buelinq's brigade in rear center, and Carr's brigade on the right. The line as formed left a wide gap between Hancock's Second and Sickles' Third Corps, which was filled later in the day by two regiments of Gibbon's division of the Second Corps. At about two o'clock P. M., General Lee instructed, hil General D. B. Bihnet, Commandliig Flret Dl-rislon Third Corpa. 30 GETTYSBURG: WHAT THEY DID HERB. General A. A.

Longstreet was ordered to turn the Union left, Hill to advance against the center, and Ewell to hurl his columns against the right. No stated time was designated for these assaults. Hood's division of Longstreet' s corps: brigades — Laws', Ander- son's, Robertson's and Benning's ' preceded by a line of skirmish- ers advanced from South Semi- nary Ridge at half past three o'clock.

GETTYSBURG: WHAT THEY DID HERB. 37 Under this artillery fire Hood's division advanced against Birney's left. Smith's and Winslow's guns opened an effective fire upon them. G-eneral Hood ordered Laios' brigade to bear to the right, Robertson's soldiers followed this movement and fell upon Waeo's brigade at the Devil's Den. De Tro- BRiAND opened upon Bobertson's left, which fire forced the Confederates to retire. Anderson's brigade attacked De Trobriand and was re- pulsed. Benning'a brigade reinforced Hood's lines, when the conflict was renewed with spirit. G-ene- ral HUMPHRBTS sent to Birney's assistance BURIr Oanbdatale SbacpaiiaoMC. ing's brigade. Iiaws' brigade, reinforced by two regiments of Bobert- tonCa Tezans, entered Plum Run Gorge, here they were met by the 4th Maine, 6th New Jersey, and 40th New York regiments, who fought Laws in this rocky valley, protecting them- selves behind the boulders which are scattered every- where, and only gave way when assailed right and left by overwhelming numbers.

Kershaw's brigade attacked these troops with spirit and compelled them to fall back. At this time Hood's and McLaws' sol- diers advanced in massive columns against Birnby's lines. Ward's brigade was being forced from the Devil's Den; Barnes' and De Trobriand's brigades were compelled to retreat before Kershaw, who advanced with Anderson and Benning. The struggle was of a ter- rible nature, the ranks were frightfully decimated. When all seemed'lost, Caldwell's division, of Hancock's Corps reached the scene of action. The brigades of Cross, Kelly, Zook and Brooke charged gallantly the advancing brigades of Kershaw and Anderson, who in turn were swept from the Wheatiield. The Union casualties were terrible, in a few minutes Jef- fords, ZooK, Cross, Mer- WIN, and hundreds as brave as they, were strick- en down upon the bloody soil. General McLaws now advanced his last two brigades: Barksdale's and Wofford's, against Sickles' angle at the Peach Orch- ard. General Hill moved forward Wilcox, Perry and Wright's brigades of And- erson's diivisiou, against Humphreys' brigades along the Emmittsburg road. Barksdale's brigade quickly swept the Union forces frojn their pathway and advanced toward Cemetery Ridge. Wofford's brigade, which followed, bore to the right and attacked Caldwell's and Barnes' brigades. At this time six brigades advanced against Sickles' left, everything gives way under this pressure of num- The Wheatfleld, Zook Shaft and Little Bound Top. aETTTSBURa: what they did herb. 39 bers. At this critical time Atbbs' division of the Fifth Corps reached the front. Day's and Bdrbank's (U. S. Begulars), take position along the east front of the Wheatfield and grove, more to the south. These two brigades endeavor to stay the retreat of the Union forces, but without avail. They were soon outflanked, and re- ^ ceived a terrible fire; they however gallantly held their ground, until hav- ing lost 900 out of 2000 men, they fell back to the north slope of Little Bound Top, followed by their exultant foe. It was at this juncture, while the Union troops were being driven back in disorder, that General Crawford brought his division of the Fifth Corps to Little Bound Top. This division of Pennsylvania Beserves, Generals McCandlbss and FiSHBE, the latter Crawford detached, and sent to Vm- CENi's support on Bound Top. McCandlbss' brigade was quickly formed in two lines of battle along the northern slopes of the hill. As soon as their front was uncovered by the retreating forces, they opened a ter- rible volley of musketry, and with a loud cheer charged down the hill and fell upon the enemy with the bayonet. The struggle which ensued was terrible in the extreme; the Confederates unable to stand this charge, broke and fled from the valley back to the stone wall east of the Wheatfield, where after a hand to hand conflict they were dislodged and forced into the grove beyond.

It was while the conflict was raging along Birnby's line, that General W A KREN reached the summit of Little Round Top, which was only occupied by the Signal Corps. Latm' advance i was at once pointed out to War- ren, who recognized the import- ance of this elevation to the Union army, and who deter- mined to have it occupied by the Union forces. He at once sought troops to defend this rocky eminence. At the foot of the slopes he met General Sykes, who with General WiLEX Obavtobd, Commander-ot the Feuna. ReBerves.

At the urgent call of Warren, Sykes detached Vincent'^ brigade, and ordered it, along with Hazlexx's battery to occuny Little Round Top. 44 gettysbdrg: what they did here. Vincent posted his brigade along its southern front, the 16th Michigan on the right, the 44th New York and 83rd Pennsylvania in the centre, and the 20th Maine on the left. Each rock was a fortress, behind which these soldiers placed themselves. Hardly had this line been formed, when Laws' brigade, commanded by General -Sboc?, swept back the three regiments who defend the valley, and led on at a double quick, with bayonets fixed, climbed the slopes determined to capture the heights. They struck the centre of Vincent, but the volleys poured into them stopped their advance. Unable to face this storm of lead, they moved against the Union right, and attacked the 16th Michigan. It was whilst this regiment was being forced up the hill, that General Wakren succeeded in bringing the 140th New York regiment to the summit. This noble command seeing the situation, do not hesitate, not having time to load or fix bayonets, they rushed forward, and with clubbed rifles, assisted the 16th Michigan in forcing the enemy Marker on Little Kound Top, where General Weed, and Lieutenant Hazlett tell.

Hood re-formed his lines and advanced, hut Vincent reinforced, the 140th New York with the 44th, and the enemy were quickly swept back. In this effort Colonel Strong Vincent fell mortally wounded. Colonel Bice now assumed command of the brigade. 46 SBTTTSBURS : WHAT THBT DID HERB. The Confederates having re-formed, moved between the Bound Tops, and attacked the left with great violence. Their mad charge was met by the 20th Maine with unflinching firmness, the struggle was waged at close quarters, fighting desperately for the mastery. Colonel Chamberlain ordered the 20th Maine to make a counter-charge, they rushed against Laws' soldiers, who were driven from the valley, leaving over 300 prisoners. Vincent's brave command remained masters of the hill, and the position was not again seriously menaced. Whilst the fight raged on Little Eound Top, Weed's brigade of Atrbs' division was sent to reinforce the 140th New York and Vincent's brigade. It was this command of the Fifth Corps that drew Hazlett's guns to the summit by hand, and when placed in position the gunners could not work them. The Confederate sharp- shooters had located themselves in rear of the massive boulders at the Devil's Den, and under their fire Haz- lett's artillerymen fell one after another. General Warren whilst in conversation with Lieutenant Haz- lbtt was wounded. General Weed whilst taking obser- vation of the field was mortally wounded, and Hazlbtt in the act of stooping to receive his last commands, was instantly killed, falling' upon his wounded chief. Under these distressing circumstances Colonel Sylves- ter was despatched to General Berdan, who was in- structed to occupy the Eound Tops with his sharp- shooters. It was only after the arrival of Bbrdan's marksmen, that Hazlett's gunners were permitted to load, and that their fire became effective. North of the Wheatfield the conflict raged with spirit. As Barks- dale's brigade charged forward they captured the Peach Orchard. General Sickles was wounded, and Birnby was left in command of the Third Corps. On the' left of Barksdale, Anderson's brigades advanced against Humphreys' division, who were driven back to Ceme- tery Ridge fighting like tigers, leaving half the com- eXTTYSBUBO : WHAT THEY DID HERB. 47 mand upon the field. Greneral Hancock was placed in charge of the Third Corps in addition to his own, or- dered all the troops at his disposal to the points men- aced. General Meade sent for reinforcements toSLOcuM and Sedgwick, who promptly responded. General Hunt advanced McGilvery's artillery brigade, — Lock- wood's brigade of the Twelfth Corps support the same. Sarksdale's soldiers pressing forward, Hancock advanced Willabd's bri- gade of the Second Corps, who stopped them, but with a great loss to them- ■ selves, the brave Willabd in the lead, urging on his men was killed. At the/ same time Wilcox's brigade swept onward, General Hancock pushed forward the 1st Minnesota regi- ' ^ ment against their left, they made a gallant charge, and Wilcox was forced back. More to the Union left. Lock- wood's brigade, led by General Meade charged Anderson's brigade, and forced the same back beyond the Trestle buildings, and recaptured three of Biqelow's guns, thus enabling the line along Cemetery Ridge to be more firmly established. The Confederate attack culminated with the efforts of Wilcox's and Wright's brigades, the former ' in his advance meets Humphreys' on his right, and Gib- bon's on his left, and under the fire of McGilvery's artil- lery was forced to retire leaving two-thirds of their sol- diers upon the field.

Thus, it was that Long street' s and Hill's forces had driven Sickles from his advanced position, back to Cemetery Kidge, his original line. Kevins', Bartlett's and Eustis' brigades of the Sixth Corps arrived in time to reinforce the lines, and assist in defeating the final efforts of the enemy. These bri- gades .fill the gap between Little Round Top and Mc- Gilvery's artillery. Etjssell's and Grant's brigades of the Sixth Corps, extend their lines east of Big Bound • Top, and protect the Union left flank. Second Day's Battle Concluded. Soon after General Meade had stripped his right, of the Twelfth Corps, with the exception of Green's bri- gade of Geary's division, who remained to hold their rifle pits, was the time that Ewell advanced Johnson's division to attack their position on Gulp's Hill. In this movement the Confederates were hid by the heavy timber along Rock Creek. At the same time Ewell ordered Early and Bodes to form their divisions and attack Cemetery Hill. Early formed his brigades front- ing Cemetery and Gulp's Hills. Hays on the right, Hoke's brigade under Avery, on the left, and Gordon's hrigade in reserve. Bodes extended the lines of his bri- gade southwest via the "Long Lane," fronting Ceme- tery Hill from the west. At about seven o'clock Early advanced Hays' and Hoke's brigades which were to storm East Cemetery Hill. Hays on the right was shel- tered by the locust timber along the slopes of the hill, and very soon reached the stone wall behind which the Union infantry were stationed. The batteries in their front opened fire upon Hays' daring fighters, but the guns could not be depressed sufficiently to do execution. When Hays emerged on the open ground to ascend the aETTYSBUR& : WHAT THEY DID HERB. 49 ■lope, VON GtILSa's brigade of the Eleventh Corps were quickly swept away, and the Confederates rushed for the summit. In this movement their left flank was ex- posed to the fire of Stevens' 5th Maine hattery, which poured an enfilading fire down their line, but failed to stop them. Driving the Union infantry before theni they were soon among the guns of WiEDRiCH's and EiCKETTs' . An awful strug- gle now ensued, a hand to hand conflict, in which gun rammers and muskets were used as clubs, handspikes and even stones, being hurled into the faces of the enemy. Stevens continued to fire upon their flank, using double canister, and the 33rd Massachusetts in- fantry poured in, obliquely to their line, showers of leaden deaths but still thfly fought on desperately, expecting Gordon's brigade, and Captain B.

Bodes' division to advance to their assistance. In the midst of this sanguinary conflict, Hancock sent Cab- boll's brigade to the rescne. Advancing through the Cemetery they were soon in view of the struggle. With cheers they charged bravely into the enemy, and assisted by a few of the Eleventh Corps sold^iers, the Confed- erates were forced to give way. The Union batteries now opened fire, and swept their ranks right and left, practically annihilating Says' "Louisiana Tigers," which advanced seventeen hundred strong, and retired with less than five hundred men. Howard's lines were re-formed with Cabboll's brigade in support. Bodes who was to attack Cemetery Hill in conjunction with Early, for some unknown reason failed to advance, and remained in his deployed position during the night. On the Confederate left, Johnson forded Eock Creek, and advanced against, Green's brigade on Gulp's Hill. The four brigades under Steuart, Walker, Jones and NicholU drove in Green's pickets, and Steuart occupied the vacated intrenchments beyond the ravine. Jones attacked the left of Green, who was compelled to shorten his line, and being attacked by siiperior num- r^^^ bers held his works, and ^^^^^^ inflicted considerable loss jMSki, ^m^ upon Johnson's troops. General Green was finally reinforced, and Wads- wobth's division support- ed his left. Very soon after dark the fighting ceased, but the firing of the pickets continued until late in the night.

At half-past three o'clock, on the morning of July 3d, Johnson was forming his columns for the attack on Gulp's Hill. He was reinforced by DanieM, O'Neal's, and Smith's brigades. At daybreak the Union batteries, on Power's Hill, opened fire u^on Johnson in the woode/ along Eock Creek.

Lee's plan was to send Stuart's cavalry around the Union right flank, which was to attack the rear in conjunction with Longstreet in front. In this way he believed he would he able to cut Meade's army in two, and use-~it up thereafter by detail. The only forces under Lee not yet engaged, was Pickett's division of Longstreet's Corps, which had arrived from Chambersburg the evening of the 2d. General Longstreet was bitterly opposed to Lee's contemplated movement, and had asked permis- sion to attack the Union left flank instead. This Lee refused to permit. The partial success achieved by his forces on the 2dj determined Lee upon one supreme effort, by which he hoped to gain victory. At ten o'clock Long- street was instructed to form for the assault. Colonel Alexander posted hip artillery along the Emmittsburg road, from the Roger -house on the left^ to the Trestle buildings on the right. Colonel Walker stationed his batteries along Seminary Eidge, to a point north of the Seminary. This vast line of artillery contained one hundred and fifty heavy guns. In the rear of this mass of iron was formed Lee's storming columns of infantry. Pickett's division were to sustain the prin- r_ _^^^ ;^^m cipal charge. They were ' Mt^^^L. ^^^ formed in two lines ; Kem- Wk ,,'^j per'sandG^arwe<<'s brigades |B^9^S in first line, Armistead's I^^MMBii brigade in second line. vBraPuflH^ Wilcox's and Perry's brig- ades support Pickett on the right; Heth's division, under Pettigrew, and two brigades, under Trimble, support Pickett on the left. This combined force num- bered eighteen thousand ^TJ^Zj^tlu^, men. General Hill was 58 GETTYSBURG : WHAT THEY DID HERB. ordered to hold his line on Seminary ivldge, with his remaining brigades, give Longstreet assistance, and avail himself of any success that might be gained. On the Union side, Hancock's Second Corps held Cemetery Eidge. Hays' division on the right, with Robinson's^ division of the First Corps in support. Gibbon's division in the center, Doubleday's division of the First Corps on the left of Gibbon. The Union line extending south was as follows : To the left of Doubled ay was Caldwell's division, and to the left of Caldwell, Bibney's division of the Third Corps, whost left, connected with the right of the Fifth, whose line extended to' the summit of Big Bound Top. General Hunt placed seventy-one cannons along the crest^ as many as the nature of the ground permitted. Hazzakd's a;rtillery brigade on the right, and McGilvery's brigade on the left. Suddenly, at one o'clock, the artillery which was to prepare the way for Pickett's charge, opened fire, and from one hundred and fifty cannon along Longstreet'a and Hill's front there came such a tempest of missiles on their deadly errand as to cause the bravest to be appalled. In conformity with Hunt's instructions the Union guns remained silent for fifteen minutes, after which they opened with spirit upon the enemy's lines. For nearly two hours the air was filled with screaming shell and whizzing fragments. The ground was ploughed into furrows, and shook under the mighty concussions of firing cannon. Fifteen caissons were exploded along Hunt's line, killing many men and horses. In the midst of this awful duel the infantry lines remained as stationary and immovable as the rocks that sheltered them, the soldiers knowing that what was transpiring. was only a preliminary of what was to follow. At half-past two Hunt ordered the firing of his guns to be gradually slackened, in order to allow the cannon to cool, to replace the disabled batteries with new QBTTYSBURS : WHAT THEY DID HERE. 59 oneSj and to reserve enough ammunition for the final struggle. The Confederates, believing that their artillery had si- lenced the Union guns^ advanced their storming columns. As they marched forward sweeping through the artil- lery into view of the Union forces, a thrill of admiration went through the breast of every soldier gazing upon the magnificent spectacle. In close order, with meas- ured steps, as though on parade, they advanced. Their Getting the batteries Into position. guns at a "right shoulder shift," obeying every com- mand, the line moved steadily on. Seventy-one cannon now opened their brazen mouths, solid shot and shell strike the ranks of Pickett's men ; tearing them apart ; but, in spite of this rain of death, the gaps were quickly closed as they still pressed onward. Pickett leaving Wilcox behind, made an oblique movement to the left, soon reaching the base of the Eidge he was directed to assault. Here he changed direction by a half wheel to the right, bringing his advance toward Gibbon's divi- sion, and the "Clump of Trees," their objective point. The brigades on Pickett's right failed to conform to this oblique movement, but kept on straight to the front, thus leaving a wide gap between themselves and the right of Pickett. The Union skirmishers retire from the feo . GETTYSBURU : WHAT THEY DID HERE. Emmittsburg road, when tlie artillerists load with canister. The effect of their fire was appalling. The Con'federates were now within one hundred and fifty yards, facing death in a thousand terrible forms. They opened upon the Union line as they charged bravely forward. At last the Union infantry opened fire, send- ing a perfect hail of destruction into their ranks. Pickett's line literally melted away, but on came the second, resistless still. The Union batteries hurl double canister into them at ten yards, and then became silent, 7M FennBylvanla Infantry Monument at the "Hlgb VatW MUk." but not until Gushing had fallen dead among his gun«. The struggle is now left to the infantry alone. Webb's brigade could not stay the advance oi Pickett' » men, who swept up to the rifle-pits, across them and over the barricades ; the momentum of their charge ■wept them on. "A thousand fell where Kemper led ; A thousand died where Garnett bled : In blinding flame and strangling smoke The remnant through the batteries broke And crossed the works with Armistead," GETTYSBURG : WHAT THEY DID HERE. 61 Webb's soldiers were gallant fighters, but they had not the strength to oppose this momentum, part of them were forced from the "Angle," to a position in rear of the guns. General Armistead, followed by his men, leaped the stone wall, and rushing upon the guns, bayoneted the gunners, and waved their banners trium- phantly within the Union lines. Alas ! they had pene- trated to a fatal point. A storm of missiles swept through their ranks and marked its track with the dead. Armistead fell mortally wounded by one of Cushing's guns, and his men reeled back in fragments. Hancock and Gibbon pushed forward all their re- servesj who charged upon their disorganized foe. The Confederates, seeing how useless further effort would be, and knowing the impossibility of regaining their lines on Seminary Kidge, threw away their muskets and sur- rendered. On Pickett's right, Stannabd's brigade had advanced into the gap left by Wilcox. They opened upon the right of Armistead, which their volleys failed to stop. Stannabd then changing the front of his rear rank, had them open upon Wilcox and Perry, who under this fire, and McGilvery's batteries, were forced to retire, leaving hundreds of prisqners in the hands of Stannard's soldiers. On Pickett's left, Pettigrew's and ?Vim6Ze's brigades bore directly towards Hays' division, posted behind a stone wall. When they reached the Emmittsburg road. Hays' soldiers opened a terrific sheet of musketry into their columns, under which the whole front line seemed to go down. "Ah, how the withering tempest blew Against the front of Pettigrew ! A Kamsiu wind that scorched and singed Like that infernal flame that fringed The British squares at Waterloo " ! The rear lines pressing on vainly strive to cross the road.

Scale's and Archer's brigades unite with Pickett, but too late to be of any avail. The force of the attacking columns was spent, their power broken, and all who could, retreated back to Seminary Ridge. Out of the four thousand eight hundred men of Pickett's division, not more than one thousa,nd returned. Of the fifteen field officers and four generals, Pickett and one lieutenant- colonel alone remained unharmed. Farnsworth's Gavalry Charge. Daring the artillery duel, General Kii.patkkk, who was on the extreme Union left, ordered Farns- worth's brigade to charge upon the Confederate right flank, Merritt's regular brigade arriving by the Em- mittsburg road, moved in against Anderson's Georgia infantry. Barf s battery opened upon them, and, assisted by the Tth and 8th Georgia regiments^ they were held in check. Merritt dismounted his troopers and de- ployed them as skirmishers . General Law moved against them tlie 11th and 59th Georgia, who attacked Mer- ritt's reserve, and forced his skirmish line back to the Emmittsburg road. Farnsworth's brigade on Merritt's right, boldly charged the 1st Texas regiment, advancing to the very muzzles of their rifles. The 1st Vermont regiment broke through, and got in rear of the Con- federate line, and with drawn sabres moved gallantly up the valley toward the Slyder house. Here they met the withering fire of the 4th Alabama regiment, which checked their advance. Turning to the left, they swept up the hill toward Reilly's battery, which, with its infantry support, opened fire on the few men who still remained in their saddles. The gap where they had entered had been closed by the Confederates. Farnsworth, with a handful of men, madly charged the 15th Alabama regiment, and. GETTYSBURG : WHAT THEY WD HERE. 63 ( aiming his revolver at Lieutenant Adrian, demanded his surrender. The skirmishers fired upoo him, killing his horse and wounding Farnsworth several times. As he fell to the ground Adrian demanded his surrender. This he refused to do. At the same time, says Adrian, "he shot himself through the head." This engage- ment, although disastrous to the Union cavalry, was productive of one good result ; it called away two brigades of infantry from Longstreet that could have aided Pickett when the attack was made against the Union left center. Gregg's and Stuart-s Cavalry Fight. When General Lee ordered Stuart with his cavalry around the Union right flank on the 3d, it happened that General Meade had both his flanks well protected hy his cavalry. Gregg's division, 1st brigade McIntosh, 3d brigade J. I. Gregg, were three miles east of Gettys- burg. Between their left and Gulp's Hill, Neill's in- fantry brigade of the Sixth Corps filled the gap on Wolf's Hill. As Stuart advanced toward the Baltimore pike, where Lee expected him to create a diversion in favor of Longstreet' 8 infantry ; and in the advent of their success, he was to fall upon Meade's retreating forces. Stuart, on reaching Cress' Bidge, found Gregg's troopers in his front. He at once placed Oriffin's battery in position, and forming his brigades advanced to the Bummel buildings. McIntosh, seeing the Confederates forming, advanced his brigade, who were opened upon with spirit by Griffin's guns and the Confederate skirm- ishers. McIntosh was reinforced by Custer's brigade of Kilpatrick's divisioYi, and Eandol's and Pbnnino- ton's batteries. The Confederates now advanced in strong numbers. The firing of skirmishers grew in volume, and both ■ides brought their artillery in play. 64 »BTTYSBURG : • WHAT THEY DID HEKE. Finally, Stuart's men, charging boldly forward, were met by the 7th Michigan regiment, which was driven back. Custer then charged the victorious enemy with the 1st Michigan and forced them bacii. Charges and counter-charges were then made, the Confederates in every instance being defeated, and withdrew from the field to their left. The 1st New Jersey and the 3d Pennsylvania reginients advanced against their flank, which they forced back, and they held their positions. During the heaviest fighting Wade Hampton was severely wounded by a sabre cut. Breathed's and McGregor'^ batteries replaced Griffin's, when a sharp duel between the artillery ensued. At length the conflict ended, with the advantage decidedly in Gregg's favor, who had foiled Stuartf and. defeated iiee's well-laid plans. The Final Movement: The Confederates, repulsed in every attempt to break the Union line,, were withdrawn to Seminary Ridge,' along which they threw up a strong line of intrenchr ments, and -the sounds of the conflict had in a great measure subsided. In front of the Union left, beyond the Wheatfield, a Confederate battery kept. firing upon the Union lines. General Meade, standing on Little Epund Top, ordered General Crawford to move forward the Pennsylvania Reserves and to capture, if possible, the guns. General McCandless ■ formed his brigade along the east front of the Wheatfield and led them gallantly against the battery under a terrific shower of shot and shell. The artillerymen, seeing this charge in their direction, quickly limber up and retire. In this moTement the Reserves bore too much to the right, and by Crawford's orders McCandless changed front to left and rear, charged upon a Confederate brigade in their intrenchmeats, which, being taken in flank, fled in great disorder. The Reserves gave them a few (JETTYSBURd : WHAT THEY Dip HERE. (i.-J parting volleys, captured more than 250 prisoners and over 5,000 stand of arms. Then it was that the hush 3 I 1 I 3 I of silence falls upon the field of Gettysburg.. The great battle, where America's valor clashed against itself, was over. 66 SETTYSBURG : WHAT THEY DID HERB. General Lee defeated, determined upon a hasty retreat. During the night of the 3d, he moved off his wounded in wagons by the Hagerstown road. His trains filled with plunder, followed. On the morning of the 4th of July Kil- patrick's cavalry advanced via Emmittsburg to Monterey Gap, and captured a large wagon train of Lee's, cut off and destroyed over two hundred wagons laden with pro- visions, and captured fifteen hundred prisoners. On the 5th Gregg's cavalry and the Sixth Corps started in pursuit via the Ohambersburg and Hagerstown roads. Lee's army moved in retreat via the Hagerstown road, through Monterey Gap direct to Hagerstown and on to Williamsport, on the Potomac Kiver. Lee had the shorter route to the Potomac, which his advance reached several days ahead of his pursueirs. On the 12th of July Meade's army confronted him in line of battle.^ On the night of tte 13th, the river having fallen, Zee, unmolested, crossed over into Virginia, and escaped. The losses of both armies were very heavy. The returns show for Meade's army : killed, 3,072; wounded, 14,497; missing, 5,434— total, 23,003; and for Lee's army: killed, 2,592 ; wounded, 12,709 ; missing, 5,150 — total, 20,451. The Confederate return of losses is defective. Many of Lee's organizations mkde no returns. From what I have learned from promiiient officers of Lee's army they estimate their entire loss at 35,000 men. fWif fifffppf'-l ill .^ 68 GETTYSBURG : WHAT THEY DID HERE. The Soldiers' J^ational Cemetery. The National Cemetery was dedicated the 19th of November, 1863. Edward Everett delivered the ora- tion, followed by President Lincoln, with his prophetic address, as follows : "Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposi- tion that all men are created equal. "Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whe- ther that nation, or any na- tion so conceived and so ded- icated, can long endiire. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We are met to dedicate a portion of it as the final resting-place of those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work that they have thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to. be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion, — that we here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation shall, undisr God, have a new birth of freedom, and that the government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth." The National monument was dedicated July 1st, 1869. General George G. Meade made an address and Governor Morton delivered an oration, followed by Bayard Taylor who contributed an ode. The Nation- al Monument is of Westerly granite, sixty feet high, and twenty-five feet square at the base. The bronze statue of General Reynolds at the entrance to the Cem- etery, is made from cannon donated by the State of Pennsylvania. The cost of the Cemetery, including these monuments was about $150,000. It was trans- ferred to the National Government in May, 1872. There are buried here 3,575 bodies of Union soldiers: of which The National Cemetery. 72 GETTYSBURG: WHAT THEY DID HERE. 1,608 are unknown.

TImoNG the Interesting Incidents ol the first day's battle Is the record ol John Burns / -^ a resident of Gettysburg. General Doubleday In his official report of the battle says: "My thanks are espeol- ally due to a citizen of Gettysburg, named John Burns, who although over seventy years of age, shouldered his musket and offered his services to Colonel Wlster, One Hundred and Fiftieth Pennsylvania Volunteers. Col. Wlster advised him to flght In the woods as there was more shelter there, but he preferred to Join our line ol skirmishers in the open fields. When the troops retired he fought with the 'Iron Brigade.' He was wounded In three places." The following poem was written by Bret Harte, In honor of his services: Have you heard the story the gossips tell Of John Burns, of Gettysburg? No? Ah , well. Brief is the glory that hero earns. Briefer the story of poor John Burns; He was the fellow who won renown — The only man who didn't back down When the rebels rode through his native town; But held his own In the fight next day,. When all his towntolk ran away. That was tn July, sixty-three— The very day that General Lee, The flower of Southern chivalry. Baffled and beaten, backward reeled From a stubborn Meade and a barren field. 1 might tell how, but the day before, John Burns stood at his cottage-door. Looking down the village-street; Where, in the shade of his peaceful vine. He heard the low of his gathered kino, And felt their breath with incense sweet; Or, I might say, when the sunset burned The old farm gable, he thought It turned The milk, that fell In a babbling flood Iilto the mllk-pail, red as blood; Or how he fancied the hum of bees Were bullets buzzing among the trees. But all such fanciful thoughts as these Were strange to a practical man like Burns, Who minded only his own concerns, Troubled no more by fancies flue Than one of his calm-eyed long-tailed kine— Quito old-fashioned and matter-of-fact. Slow to argue, but quick to act. That was the reason, as some folks say. Be leught so well on that terrible day. And It was terrible. On the right Baged for hours the heavy flght. Thundered the battery's double-bass- Difficult music for men to face; While on the left— where now the graves Undulate like the living waves That all the day unceasing swept Up to the pits the rebels kept— Bound-shot ploughed the upland glades, Sown with bullets, reaped with blades; Shattered fences here and there Tossed their splinters In the air; The very trees were stripped and bare; The barns that once held yellow grain Were heaped with harvests of the slain; The cattle bellowed on the plain. The turkeys screamed with might and main. And brooding barn-fowl left their rest With strange shells bursting in each neat Just where the battle turns, Erect and lonely, stood old John Bums. How do you think the man was dressed? He wore an ancient long buff vest— Yellow as saffron, but his best; And buttoned over his manly breast Was a bright blue coat, with a rolling collar And large gilt buttons— size of a dollar— With tails that country-folk called "swol- ler." He wore a broad-brimmed bell-crowned hat. White as the locks on which U sat. Never had such a sight been seen For forty years on the village-green. Since John Burns was a country-beau, And went to the "quilting," long ago. Olose at bis elbows all that day, 122 GETTYSBURG. IN PROSE AND POETRY. Yeterans of the Peninsula, Sunburnt and bearded, charged away. And striplings, downy of Up and chin— Clerks that the Home Guard mustered In— Olanced, as they passed, at the hat he wore. Then at the rifle hls'rlght hand bore. And hailed him, from out their youthful lore. With scraps of a slangy repertoire: "How are you. White Hat?" "Put her through 1" "Tour head's level I " and "Bully for you I " Called him "Daddy," and begged he'd dis- close The name of the tailor who made his clothes. And what was the value he set on those; While Burns, unmindful of jeer and scoff. Stood there picking the rebels off— With his long brown rifle and bell-crown - hat And the swallow-tails they were laughing at. 'Twas but a moment; . for that respect Which clothes all courage their voices checked; And something the wildest could under- stand Spake In the old man's strong right hand. And his corded throat, and the lurking frown Of his eyebrows under his old bell-crown; Until, as they gazed, there crept an awe Through the ranks. In whispers, and some men saw, In the antique vestments and long white hair. The Past of the Nation in battle there. And some of the soldiers since declare That the gleam of his old white hat afar. Like the crested plume of the brave Navarre, That day was their orlflamme of war. Thus raged the battle. Tou know the rest; How the rebels, beaten and backward pressed. Broke at the final charge and ran; At which John Burns, a practical man. Shouldered his rifle, unbent his brows, • And then went back to bis bees and cowa. This la the story of old John Burns— This Is the moral the reader learns: In fighting the battle, the question's whether You'll show a hat that's white, or a feather. — iil^ — JHhe charge at Balaklava will live forever In song ; but the feat shrinks almost to ■^ triviality when we consider the tacts. According to KlngUike, the Light Brigade took 673 oCScers and men Into that charge ; they lost but 113 killed and 131 wounded, the total being 247, or 36.7 per cent. The heaviest loss In the German army, during the Franco-Prussian War, occurred m the Sixteenth Infantry (Third Westphallan) at Marc La Tour, where It lost, in killed, wounded and missing, 49.4 per cent. But Colonel Fox enumerates no less than sixty-three Union regiments which lost over 50 per cent, in single battles of our Civil War, without including others where the statistics are incomplete. In some of these cases the bulk of the losses occurred within an hour. The First Minnesota lost at Gettysburg, in killed and wounded, 82 per cent, of thenumber thatwent in; the One Hundred and Forty-first Pennsylvania lost TB,7 per cent, in the same battle ; the One Hundred and First New York lost 73.8 per cent, at Manassas ; the Twenty-fifth Massachusetts lost 70 per cent, at Cold Harbor. San Francisco Argonaut. — Ul^lll WHE Twenty-sixth North Carolina regiment went Into the Gettysburg fight with leas ■^ than 800 men. It reported 86 killed, S02 wounded,— Total 588. This does, not Include 120 missing. In one company of 84, every officer and man was hit, and tha orderly who made out the list did It with a bullet through each leg. This is by far tha largest regimental loss on either side during the war.

Tlgbtly grasped la the dead soldier's hand was an ambrotype likeness ot three children, and on them his last gaze had been fastened as his soul had departed to its God, lie was burled on a lot ot Judge Russell's, near where be was found. The Incident awoke the tenderest sympathies ot Dr. J. Francis Bournes, of Philadelphia, who borrowed the picture and had thousands ot copies struck and widely circulated.

The Philadelphia branch of the Sanitary Commission offered a prize for the best poem upon this touching incident. The award was made to James G. Clark, ot Dansville, N. Y., for the following thrilllug stanzas: Upon the field ot Gettysburg The summer sun was high. When freedom met her traitorous foe Beneath a Northern sky; Among the heroes of the ^ortb. Who swelled her grand array — Who rushed, like mountain eagles forth From happy homes away. There stood a man ot humble tame, A sire ot children three. And gazed, within a little frame. Their pictured forms to see; , And blame hira not if, in the strife, ! He breathed a soldier's prayer — "Obi Father, guard the soldier's wife. And tor his children care." Upon the field ot Gettysburg When morning shone again. The crimson cloud of battle burst In streams ot fiery rain; Our legions quelled the awful flood Ot shot, and steel, and shell. While banners, mark'd with ball and blood. Around them rose and tell; And none more nobly won the name Ot Champion ot the Free, Than he who pressed the little frame That held his children three; And none were braver in the strife Than he who breathed the prayer: "0 1 Father, guard the soldier's wite. And tor his children care." Upon the field of Gettysburg The full moon slowly rose. She looked, and saw ten thousand brow* All pale in death's repose; And down beside a silver stream. From other forms away. Calm as a warrior in a dream. Our fallen comrade lay; His limbs were cold, his sightless eyes Were fixed upon the three. Sweet stars that rose in memory's skies To light him o'er death's sea. Then honored be the soldier's life. And hallowed be his prayer: "0 1 Father, guard the soldier's wife, And tor his orphans care." WHIII^IIIU.- JIThK Second Maryland Confederate Regiment, commanded by Lieut. Colonel James ■^ B.

Nearly all the commissioned officers were killed or wounded, and ot the five hun- dred ol the command who went Into the fight only two hu^idred escaped unhurt. General Herbert was severely wounded in the fight, and was confined to a hospital tor two months.

H. W. SLOCTJM, In the North American Review, February, 1891, narrates this Interesting incident : " Near the line occupied ty the brigade ot Gen. J. B. Carr, on the Emmittsburg road, stands a little one-Btory house, which at the time ot the battle was occupied by a Mrs. Rogers and her (adopted) daughter. On the morning of July 2nd, Gen. Carr stopped at the house and found the daughter, a girl of about eigh- teen years of age, alone, busily engaged in baking bread. He informed her that a great hattle was inevitable, and advised her to seelE a place of safety at once. She said she had a batch of bread baking in the oven and she would remain until it was baked and then leave. When her bread was baked it was given to our soldiers, and devoured BO eagerly Uiat she concluded to remain and bake another batch. And so she continued to the end of the battle, baking and giving her bread to all who came. The great artil- lery duel, which shook the earth for miles around, did not drive her from her oven. Pickett's men, who had charged past her house, found her quietly baking her bread and distributing It to the hungry. When the battle was over her house was found to be riddled with shot and shell, and seventeen dead bodies were taken from the house and cellar; the bodies of the wounded men who ha'a crawled to the little dwelling for shelter." JOSEPHINE (ROGERS) MILLER. The war-cloud is gath'ring o'er Gettysburg vale, Portending hoarse thunder and death-dealing-hail; The solid earth trembles, and rent is the air, , With the rushing of squadrons,— the loud trumpets blare. The clanking of arms, and the shouting of mon, And the neighing of steeds from each echoing glen; But unheeding the din and unhindered by dread Josephine Miller is baking her bread. Now the battle is on, and they warn her away; For her cottage it stands in the sweep ot the fray; They say 'twill be shattered by shot and by shell,— But she answers by quenching their thirst from the well, And baking her bread for the blue-coated men. And beating her oven and baking again, — Alone in the house whence the owner had fled Josephine Miller is baking her bread. She hears on the root bullets patter Uke rain- Bombs burst in the road and the door-yard. The slain By scores and by hundreds on every hand lie — The wounded crawl into the cellar to die. With her cup ot relief she is here, she is there; No cry is unheard, but with tenderness rare. Alone, all alone with the dying and dead Josephine watches while baking her bread. All through the long night and the long weary day She nurses the wounded, the blue and the gray; And their tears silent fall,— for sweet visions ot home And ot faies belov'd to each soldier will come When the maiden draws nigh. And the dying rejoice In the touch of her hand and the sound of lier voice. And pray tor a blessing to rest on the head Of Josephine Miller while baking her bread.

I'm a etnuiger here at Gettysburg, I came to spend the day — To gather knowledge on the field Of that most dreadful tray. I see you are an army man And can doubtless. It you will. Enlighten me about the fight On " Bound Top, Ridge and Hill." With pride, the soldier answer made : " I fought with Hancock here ; Our corps repulsed old Pickett's charge And won the victory dear." A little farther on I went. Resolving in my mind. To always hold up Hancock's name As greatest of his kind. And then I met a group of men. The Third Corps badge they wore. They told me how with Sickles, they The blunt of conflict bore. They told me that the hardest fight Was on the second day. The battle then was really won. The rest was mere "by-play." To Sickles then the glory give. That soldier bold and true ; 'Twas he that turned the414e of war, Give him all honor due. Such strong emotions filled my mind— My eyes were filled with tears. When nearing still another group, These words fell on my ears : 'Twas here that Crawford led the charge. Bight through this rocky glen. He drove the rebels out of sight Beyond the 'Devil's Den.' " If Crawford hadn't been right there With the gallant old Eeserve.s, This victory coaldu't have been won. The credit he deserves." My footsteps then I onward took Where Reynolds fell that day And learned, that that great soldier had, For victory, paved the way. He stemmed the enemy's advance. His force was brave, but few. They fought as men but seldom will. To them all praise Is due. To Cemetery Hill I went And made some Inquiry there. They told me there brave Howard fought And won the victory fair. 'Twas here the " Tigers " made their charge. Each foot with blood was stained ; But Howard cheered his men so bold, And he the victory gained. Homeward, then I took my way, A little mixed indeed. Who was the hero of the day ? I'd always thought 'twas Meade. But, of course, I was mistaken, For of him I did not hear ; In all the talk about the fight, His name did not appear. So I have come to the conclusion. That the hero of the fight Was each man who did his duty. And I know you'll say I'm right. ¥ 126 GETTYSBURG. — IN PROSB AND POETRY. I^F the 27,574 muskets picked up on the battlefield of Gettysburg and turned Into the " Washington Arsenal, at least 2,100 were loaded. About one-halt of this number contained two charges each, one-fourth contained from Ihree to ten charges each, and the balance one charge each. The largest number of cartridges found in any one piece was tuoenty-ibrw. In some cases the paper of the cartridges was unbroken, and in others the powder was uppermost.

Gettysburg was the greatest battle of the war— Antletam the bloodiest. The largest army was assembled by the Confederates at the Seven Days' Fight ; by the Federals at the Wilderness. HE minle ball which killed General John F. Reynolds, passed in at one side of his head and came out at the other. He fell from his horse and never spoke. CKNEEAL GABEIEL E. PAUL, commanding a brigade of Robinson's Division, First Corps, having been ordered by General Doubleday to extend the right of Cutler's brigade, July 1st, on North Semiuary Ridge, had barely reached his position when a mlnle ball carried away both his eyes. He lived until 1884 In this terrible condition. CENEBAL HEKRY HE TH, whose division opened the battle of Gettysburg on the Con- federate side, says, as he ordered Pettigrew's and Brockenbrough's brigades for- ward to the relief of Davis' and Archer's brigades on the morning of July 1st, he was struck on the head by a minle ball and fell unconscious, in which condition he lay for ' thirty hours. The hat worn by Heth on this occasion was too large for his head, — he had folded a newspaper and placed the same inside, around the band. This paper saved his life — the bullet glancing followed the paper band— but left a deep dent in his skull. GENERAL H. J. HUNT, Chief of Artillery, says : " There were expended upon the field of Gettysburg, five hundred and sixty-nine tons of deadly missiles. Including all the various kinds of shot, shell, schrapnel and ball known to this country and to Europe." HE Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg contains seventeen acres, and over two hundred varieties of shrubbery. ^N a. recent visit of General Longstreet to Gettysburg, when asked if he really op- " posed Pickett's charge, he said he had ; that he had earnestly urged General Lee not to attempt it, as the distance was too great, and the position of the Union forces a strong one. He said he was seated on a fence when General Pickett came to him to say that everything was ready, and asked it he shoidd move. " I was so overcome," said General Longstreet, "and was so positive of the failure of the charge, and knew so well that it was only sending thousands of brave souls, the flower of the army, to their graves, that I could not speak, I merely gave a nod of assent, and then the tears rushed to my eyes as I saw those brave fellows rush to a certain death."

At Gettysburg It stood on East Cemetery Hill, and when the Louisiana Tigers charged up to the summit and turned one ot their own guns upon the men, there was a hand-to-hand fight unequalled tor fierceness In modern warfare. BevoWers, bayonetB, shovels, hand- q>Uces, pickaxes and stones were the weapons used In the struggle, and tor a time pandemonium seemed nn that particular spot ot the.earlh. Just as the Tigers reached the crest ot the hill an artillery man, pale and trembling with tear, said to Rlckotts: "Captain, I'm awtul sick. May I go to the rear ! " Klcketts knew thai It one man started to run a panlo might follow. Drawing a revolver, he pointed it at the fellow's head and said: "If you don't take your place, I'll make you sicker I " He went back to his post and a few moments later Rlcketts saw him, in the very ttilck of the fight knock a "Tiger" down with a handspike. It was at this Juncture In the struggle that Lieutenant Brockway, while fighting to recapture the battery's guidon, killed a rebel by crushing In bis skull with a stone. But all this "Is anottier.story." Not long ago an ex Oonnderate officer visited Wilkes Barre and was Introduced to Captain Klcketts. "Rlcketts?" he said. "That name sounds familiar. I was In the charge on Blckett's battery at Gettysburg." "Well," said the gentleman who had Introduced them. "This Is the commander ox, that battery." The Southerner stepped back and surveyed "Runt" Rlcketts from head to foot* Then he said, apparently half to himself: "And did this little cuss command Battery Hell!" "Battery Hell" was the forcible, but not altogether Inappropriate name bestowed upon his famous battery by the rebels who faced It often and always to their sorrow. Pittsburg Times.

It was not so well known that she was engaged to and corre- sponded with Corporal Skelly, for whom Gettysburg G. A. B. Post Is named.

Many of the wounded in the wagons had been without food for thirty-six hours. Their torn and bloody clothing, matted and }iardened, was rasping the tender, inflamed ■ and still oozing wounds. Few of the wagons had even a layer of straw In them, and all were without springs. The road was rough and rocky, and the Jolting was enough . to kill strong men, if long exposed to it. From nearly every wagon as the teams trotted on, urged by whip and shout, came such cries and shrieks as these : "O God why can't I die!" "My God, will no one have mercy and kill me?" "Stop !

Saturday Night, July 4, 1863. J Jow can I write the history of a battle wheu my eyes are immovably fastened a a central figure of transcendiugly absorbing interest — the dead body of my St born son, caused by a shell in a position where the battery he commanded lid never have been sent, and abandoned to die in a building where surgeons d not to stay? The battle of Gettysburg ! I am told that it commenced on the ist of July, a mile : of the town, between two weak brigades of infantry and some doomed artillery a large force of the rebel army. Among other costs of this error was the death eynolds, Its value was priceless, however, though priceless Was the young and Did blood with which it was bought. The error put us on the defensive, and ;us the choice of position. From the moment that our artillery and infantry ;d back through the main streets of Gettysburg, and rolled out of the town to the .e of eminences south of it, we were not to attack, but to be attacked. The risks, difficulties, and the disadvantages of the coming battle were the enemy's. Ours 2 the heights for artillery ; ours the short inside lines for manoeuvring and forcing ; ours the cover of stone walls, fences, and the crests of hills. The ground upon which we were driven to accept battle was wonderfully favor- : to us. A popular description of it would be to say that it was in form an elonA :d and somewhatysharpened horse-shoe, with the toe to Gettysburg and the heel le south. r [yce's plan of battle was simple. He massed his troops upon the east side of this ; of position, and thundered on it obstinately to break it. The shelling of our eries from the nearest overlooking hills, and the unflinching courage and com- e discipline of the army of the Potomac, repelled the attack. It was renewed at point of the shoe — renewed desperately at its southwest heel — renewed on its tern side with au effort consecrated to success by Lee's earnest oaths, and on chthe fate of the invasion of Pennsylvania was fully put at stake. Only a per- infantry and an artillery, educated in the midst of charges of hostile brigades. Id possibly have sustained this assault. Hancock's corps did sustain it, and has ;red itself with immortal honors by its constancy and courage. The total wreck ushing's battery — the list of its killed and wounded — the losses of officers, men, horses Co wen sustaiijed — and the marvelous outspread upon the board of death lead soldiers and dead animals — of dead soldiers in blue and dead soldiers in iT— more marvelous to me than anything I have ever seen in war— are a ghastly shocking testimony to the terrible fighting- of the Second corps that none will isay. That corps will ever have the distinction of breaking the pride and power he rebel invasion. For such details as I have the heart for. The battle commenced at daylight, on the ; side of the horse-shoe position, exactly opposite to that which Lee had sworn rush through. Musketry-firing preceded the rising of the sun. A thick wood ed this fight, but out of its leafy darkness arose the smoke— and ihe surging and llingof the fire, from intermittent to continuous and crushing, told 01 the wise ics of the rebels in attacking in force and changing their troops. Seemingly the ck of the day was to be made through, the woods. The demonstration was pro- ted absolutely it was preparative. There was no artillery fire accompanying musketry but shrewd officers on our western front mentioned, with the gravity to the fact, that the rebels had the day before fallen trees at intervals upon the e of the wood they occupied in face of our position. These were breastworks the protection of artillerymen, . „ . ,, . ., Suddenly, and about ten in the forenoon, the firing on the east side, and every- :re about our lines, ceased. A silence as of a deep sleep fell upon the field of bat- ' Our army cooked, ate, and slumbered. The rebel army moved one hundred and r guns to the west, and massed there Longstreefs corps and Hill's corps, to hurl ai upon the really weakest point of our eutire position.. Fleven o'clock— twelve o'clock — one o'clock. In the shadow cast by the tiuy farm- qe sixteen by twenty, which General Meade had made his headquarters, lay 130 GETTYSBURG. IN PROSE AND POBTBY. wearied staff officers and tired journalists. There was not wanting to the peaceful- ness of the scene the singing ofa bird, which had a nest in a peach tree within the tiny yard of the whitewashed cottage. In the midst of its warbling, a shell screamed over the house, instantly followed by another, and another, and in a moment the air was full of the most complete artillery prelude to an infantry battle that was ever exhibited. Every size and form of shell known to British and to American gunnery, shrieked, whirled, moaned, whistled, and wrathfully fluttered over our ground. As many as six in a second, constantly two in a second, bursting and screaming over and around the headquarters, made a very hell of fire that amazed the oldest officers. They burst in the yard — burst next to the fence on both sides, garnished as usual with the hitched horses of aids and orderlies. The fastened animals reared and plunged with tferror. Then one fell, then another — sixteen lay dead and mangled before the fire ceased. Still fastened by their halters, which gave the impression of their being wickedly tied up to die painfully, these brute victims of a cruel war touched all hearts. Through the midst of the storm of screaming and exploding shells, an ambulance, driven by its frenzied conductor at full speed, presented to all of us the marvfelous spectacle of a hoise going rapidly on three legs. A hind one had been shot off at the hock. A shell tore up the little step of the head- quarters cottage, and ripped bags of bats as with a knife. Another soon carried off oneof its two pillars. Soon a spherical case burst opposite the open door — another ripped thi^ough the low gaiTel. The remaining pillar went almost immediately to the howl ofa fixed shot that Whitworth must have made. During this fire, the horses at twenty and thirty feet distant were receiving their death, and soldiers in Federal blue were torn to pieces in the road, and died with the peculiar yells that blend the extorted cry of pain with hori^r and despair. Not an orderly — ^not an ambulance — not a straggler was to be seen upon the plain swept by this tempest of orchestral death, thirty minutes after it commenced. Were not one hundred, and fifty pieces of artillery trying to cut from the field every battery we had in position to resist their purposed infantry attack, and to sweep away the slight defences be- hind which our infantry were waiting? Forty minutes — fifty minutes — counted on watches that ran, O, so languidly 1 Shells through the two lower rooms! A shell .into the chimney that fortunately did not explode. Shells in the yard. The air thicker and fuller, and more deafening with the howling and whirling of these infernal missiles. The chief of staff struck. Seth Williams, loved and respected through the army, separated from instant death by two inches of space vertically measured. An aid bored with a fragment of iron through the bone of the arm. Another cut with an exploded piece of case shot. And the time measured- on the sluggish watches was one hour and forty minutes. There was a lull, and we knew that the rebel Infantry was charging. And splen- didly they did this work— thfe highest and severest test of the stuff the soldiers are / made of. Pickett's division, in line of battle, came first on the double-quick, their muskets at the " right-shoulder-shift." Hill's soldiers came as the support, at the usual distance, with war cries and a savage insolence, as yet untutored by defeat. They rushed in perfect order across the open field up to the very muzzles of the guns, which tore lanes through them as they came. But they met men who were their eiinals in spirit, and their superiors in tenacity. There never was better fighting since Thermopylffi than was done yesterday by our infantry and artillery. The rebels were over our defences. They had cleaned cannoneers and horses from one of our guns, and were whirling it around to use upon us. The bayonet drove them back. But so hard pressedT was this brave infantry, that at one time, from the ex- haustion of their ammunition, every battery upon the principal crest of attack was silent, except Cowen's. His service of grape and canister was awful. It enabled our line, outnumbered two to one, first to beat back Longstreet, and then to charge upon him, and take a great number of his men prisoners. Strange sight ! So terriwe was our musketry and artillery fire, that when Armistead's brigade was checked in itscharge, and stood reeling, all of its men dropped their muskets and crawled tjn their hands and knees underneath the stream of shot till close to our troops, where they made signs of surrendering. They passed through our ranks scarcely noticed, and slowly went down the slope to the road in the rear. The rebels retreated to their lines, and opened anew the storm of shell and shot from their one hundred and fifty guns. Those who remained at the riddled head- quarters will never forget the crouching, and dodging and running of the butternut- colored captives when they got under this, their friends' fire. It was appalling to as ^ood soldiers even as they were. What remains to say of the fight ? It straggled surlily over the middle of the horse- shoe on the west, giew big and angry on the heel at the south-west, lasted there till eight o'clock in the evening, when the fighting Sixth corps went joyously by I'K re-ifo'-cement through a woods bright with coffee pots on the fire. J pen is heavy. O, you dead, who at Gettysburg have baptised with your blood thesecondbirthof Freedom in America, how you are to be envied I I rise from a grave whose wet clay I have passionately kissed, and I look up and see Christ span- ning this battle-field with his feet, and reaching fraternal and loving iip to heaven.

Colonel Preemantle relates the following: "Gen. Hill said to me that the Yankees in the first day's battle had fought with a determination unusual to them. He pointed to a field in the centre of which he had seen a man (Crippen, of the 143rd Pa.

When I saw white handkerchiefs raised and my line of battle still lying down in position I characterized the surrender as disgraceful ; but when I found afterward that 500 of my men were left lying dead and wounded in a line as straight as a dress parade, I exonerated the survivors and claim for the brig- ade, that they nobly fought and died. How tbe Town Escaped, visitors express surprise when told that the town suffered but little damage from shot or shelf, but this is easily accounted for. The battei-ies were placed on opposite hills, the town lying between, and to land shot or shell among their opponents, it was necessary to fire them, not through, but over the tOTvn, and it was only when they fell short that damage resulted. This Story by Colonel Preemantle is found in Blackwood : " He says, carried away by the excitement of Pickett's charge he rushed up to General Longstreet, who was watching the charge, and said : " Gen. I.ongstreet isn't this splendid ; I wouldn't have missed It for the world?" "Thed— lyou wouldn't," replied Longstreet , "Why don't you see we are getting licked like h— 1." Humphreys and BIgelow. On the evening of July 2nd. the Twenty-first Miss. Regt., of Gen. Barksdale's brigade, charged Capt. Bigelow's Ninth Mass. battery. As they swept forward, the battery tore them with canister, but it was finally exhausted. "Shell without fuse," shouted the brave captain, as the Confederates thronged about the muzzles of his pieces. Gen. McLaws testified as to the admirable service of the battery. He reports that one shell killed and wounded 30 out of a company of 37. Sitting around the Camp-Pire at the foot of Benuer's hill on the 2nd night of the battle. Captain Thompson predicted his own death, thus ; " Well boys, when 1 gq up, I'll go up quick." Next morning he mounted a caisson during the heat ofjthe battle, and a shell bursting beneath him hurled him into eternity. General Early's Requisition. On the afternoon of the 26th of June, Gen. Early arrived at Gettysburg and made the following requisition on the borough au- thorities: Sixty barrels of flour, 7,000 pounds of pork or bacon, 1,200 pounds of sugar, 600 pounds of coffee, 1,000 pounds of salt, 10 bushels of onions, 1,000 pairs of shoes, 500 hats or $10,000 in money. He was answered by Mr. David Kendlehart, Piesident of the Council, as follows. ' Gettysburg, Pa., June 26, 1863. General Early ; Sir :— The authorities of the borough of Gettysburg, in answer to the demand made by you upon the said borough and county, say their authority extends but to the borough. That the requisition asked cannot be given, as it is utterly impossible to comply. The quantities required are far beyond that in our possession In com- pliance, however, to the demands, we will request the stores to be opened and the Htizens to furnish whatever they can of such provisions, etc., as may be asked Further we cannot promise. ,^.. ,. .,.. » „-x By authority of the Council of the borough of Gettysburg, I hereunto, as Pres- ident of said board, attach my name. D. Kendlehart < Gen. Early that evening received orders to proceed to York, and the requisition «7ag not again asked. The Gettysburg Knapsack A SOUVENIR OF USEFUL INFORMATION. GETTYSBURG. ^^T^HERE is no spot in tlie world connected with more memo- II rable events thian the thirty-five square miles of ground ^Jr wMeh witnessed the terrible conflict between the Federal and Confederate troops on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day, July 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 1863. The contest at Gettysburg marks the flood-tide of the rebellion. The Southern cause received its death-blow on that field. The decisive victory infused new hope into Northern hearts and nerved their arms for the brilliant vic- tories which culminated in the formal surrender of Lee at Appo- mattox. The Gettysburg of to-day no longer reeks with blood. The dead are buried; the widespread devastation of those few days has been repaired by the merciful hand of Time, and yet, every spot is hallowed with memories that can never die. Gettysburg will shine more and more resplendent, thecentral figure of the war of the Rebellion, the most conspicuous battlefield of ancient or modern times. There is but one Gettysburg ! and it is without doubt the most picturesq\ie and interesting point in America for the tourist, either soldier or citizen, to visit. The Oettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association has done a magnificent work, and a work whose importance perhaps, has hardly been estimated aright up to this time. Under the fostering care of so many of the states of the Union (18 states), the long ex- tended Federal battle lines have, under their management, been peopled by a multitude of imperishable shafts in granite and bronze. In the spring of 1879 the first memorial was erected, now there are hundreds and hundreds of them. They mark the spots where fell gallant officers; where regiments made a daring charge; they tell where each corps, division, brigade, regiment and battery was stationed on the three days of fearful struggle, each telling in elo- quent and pathetic story, the purchase price of national unity and lasting peace. THE QETTYSBURQ NATIONAL PARK. In 1895 the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association trans- ferred its grounds (aijout 8-50 acres), together with its beautiful monuments and memorials, erected by a grateful people, to the care and protection of the general government. The battlefield in the hands of the United States has been made (by act of Congress 1895) a " National Park " ; a park only in the sense of its being restored to the condition in which it was at the time of the battla A United States Battlefield Commission has been appointed (3 mem- bers), under whose supervision there has been opened up magnifi- 134 THE GETTYSBURG KNAPSACK. cent telford avenues along the Federal and Confederate battle linei they are also marking (with Tablets) the position of ever corps, division, brigade, regiment and battery in the Confederal Army, so that it is now possible for the tourist to visit the location of the troops of both armies (via carriage with guide) and to intell gently examine and understand them. Five iron and steel obser\ atories (60 and 75 feet high) have been erected upon different part of the field and from them the entire battlefield can be seen; th eye can sweep over a landscape of magnificent scope and grandeui To one alive to the beauties of nature these views alone are sufflcien to stir the mind and heart with sublime and inspiring thoughts What then will be the feelings of those who can in imaginatio: roll back the veil of years, and, standing on these towers, catcj the inspiration of the past and in the march of mind rehearse th evolutions of that great struggle whose stage is so grandly sprea before them. From every portion of this country come yearly thousands upo: thousands of people to visit this sacred spot. Here veterans wh wore the blue and the gray often mingle, not as they once did, li deadly combat, but sadly remembering the past, they clasp hand In doing honor to the valiant and heroic dead who fell here. Gettysburg has therefore become, and is, the Mecca of America; Reconciliation. > "No north, no soutli, no alien now — Firm for one cause, one flag we stand; Hearts melted into sacred flame — For God, and home, and native land." THE TWO GREAT COMMANDERS. The battle of Gettysburg was fought between the Federal Arm; of the Potomac, commanded by *General George G. Meade, an the Confederate "Army of Northern Virgirtia," commanded b; General Robert E. Lee. FORCES ENGAGED AT GETTYSBURG. The number of soldiers engaged in the battle will ever be a sut ject of controversy. The fairest approximation possible is that o the Comte de Paris, which we use hare as a fair statement.— Th Army of the Potomac bore on its return, on July 1, 1863, 2,750 mei who took no part in the battle, 7,000 Artillery,, 10,500 Cavalry, an. 85,500 Infantry, a total of 105,750 men and 352 pieces of Artillery but deducting the Heavy Artillery in reserve at Westminster, th guards on supply trains, the stragglers, &c., the eflfective force c Meade was from 82,000 to 84,000 men, with 327 guns. The Army of Northern "Virginia, on May 31, 1863, contained ai effective force of 88,754 oflflcers and men, of whom the foUowin were under arms; General Staff' and Infantry, 59,420 men; Cavalrj 10,292; Artillery, 4,756; a total oi "4,468 men, with 206 pieces c Artillery. Deducting all the losses i.y various means, the Brigade ans Regiments absent, stragglers, &c., and adding the conscript and Brigades, the Army of Northern Virginia arrived on the Bat *Names of officers of the Confederate army printed in Italics; Federal office] in Smali.

Deducting the mount- ed men from tliis, Lee brought into actual combat during the three days of July, from 68,000 to 69,000 men and 250 guns, against Meade's 82,000 or 84,000 men and 300 guns collected on the field. Meade had, therefore, from 18,000 to 19,000 men more than his adversary, a superiority of nearly one-fourth, which, unfortunately for him, he was unable to turn to advantage.
