On tlie night of the 30th of Jam 1868, Pickett'fc (Tivi8ion bivouacked In the wood*, about two miles south of Ctiam- bersburg. The men were footsore and wenry and went into c&mp from an almofltfcontlnnona march of more than a thousandlmiles. * • * • On Friday morning, 'Julyg^3d. Pick­ ett's division left Its bivouao At break of day, mid moving around to the right renched the position assigned to it tn the ravine behind Cemetery Ridge soon after six o'clock. Long, dark lines of Infantry were massed along the bottoms concealed from the en­ emy's view, and orders were given to "He down and keep still to avoid at» trading tho attention of the enemy,'* About eight o'clock. Gens. Lee, Longstreet and Pickett, In company, rode slowly up and down before the long lines of prostrate infantry, view­ ing! them oloaely and critically as they rode along. They were not greeted with the usual cheers,'as orders had pre­ ceded thein lorbldding this; but the men voluntarily rose up and stood in line, with uncovered heads aud hats held aloft while theirjchieftalns parsed by. This review over, strong detach­ ments were thrown forward to support the artillery stationed along the crest of Oak Ridge and Cemetery Ridge* composed of about 120 cannon, and stretch!ns: along the brow of these r!dges]for a mile. The supporting de­ tachments were placed about a hun­ dred yards in tlSfr roar of this line of batteries and layjrdowo In I,the tall gViss, with a cloudless sky and a bright Julysun pouring its scorching rays almost v#rMcally upon them for live long, weary liow"s, while theylMiAtened and watched In painful suspense for some sound or son*? movement to break that profound stillness which rested over the vast battllfcld and depressed the spirits like a dw*dful nightmare. At one o'clock this awful stillness was suddenly broken, and th<S men startled by the discharge of a couple of signal guns fired In quick half a minute, ami then while their echo was yet rolling along the distant defiles and mountuiu gorges, au up­ roar began, as wonderful as was the previous silence. Lee's 120 go us opened at once with a crat>h and tiiun- .der .sound that shook the hills for miles around from crest to base, and were Instantly replied to by about elgtiJLy/ gnus, ranged by Oen Meade along the front of Cemetery Ridge, about one mile in front. After two hours thr firing suddenly ceased, and silence again rested over the battlefield, during which time the Confederates were rapidly forming an attacking c3lumu, just below the brow or Seminary Ridge. Long double lines of Infantry came pouring out of. the woods and bottoms, across ravines and little valleys, hurrying on to the positions assigned them in the colurau. Two separate lines of douple ranks were formed a hundred yards apart, and In the center of the column was placed the division of Pickett, said to be "the flower of Lee's army"--4,441 privates, 244 company officers, 32 field officers and four general officers--mak­ ing 4.761 all told. In the front line was placed Kemberland Garrett's bri­ gades side by side, covered by Armls- tead's brigade iu the second line. The column of attack, composed of Wilcox's brigade. Pickett's and Heath's divisions and several other commands, detached for this duty, has been va­ riously estimated, but would probably number about 13,009 troops. The com­ mand of the wli^sle line was given to Oen. Pickett. Riding ont In front he made a brief animated address to the troops, and closed by saying to his own division: "Charge the enemy, and remember old Virginia." Then came the command in a strong clear voice -- "Forward! Guide contre! March!" and the column, with a front of half a mile, moved up the slope. Meade's guns opened upon the column %s It appeared above the crest of the ridge, but it neither pausecj nor fal­ tered Round shot, bounding alfeng the plain, tore throughtheir ranks and ricocheted around them; ^lells ei- pladed Incessantly in blinding, daz­ zling flashes before them, behind them, overhead among them. Frightful gaps were mad* from centre to flank, yet <>n swept tlie column, and as it advanced the men steadily closed up the ^ride rents made along the Htw fn a hundred places, at every discharge of the mur­ derous batteries In front. Along line of skirmishers, prostrate In the tall grass, firing at the column as It came within view, rose up within fifty yards, fired a volley into lie front, then trotted on before it, turning and firing back as fast as they could reload. The column moved on at a quickstep with shoul­ dered arias, And tlie tire of the skirm­ ish line was not returned. Half way over the field an order ran down the line, "'left oblique," which was prompt­ ly obeyed, and the direction was ^hanged forty-five degrees from the frout to tbe left. Men look tug %way far off toward the left flank saw that the supporting columns there wore crumbling and melting awav. General Pickett sent liis brother, Major Charles Pickett, galloping swiftly to rally. If possible, the wavering lines, saying: ^Unless they support us on the let my division will be cut In pieces." Major Pickett and other officers rode among the breaking battalions and vainly attempted to restore order; but hun­ dreds and thousands of fugitives from the front could be seen fleeing from the field and went rnshing pellmell toward tha rear like dry leaves before a gale. Order was not restored upon the left, and Pickett's support there was gone, excepting some brave Ten- nesseeaos and North Carolinians who tiever wavered in the storm, bu^ clos­ ing up by the side of Pickett's Virgin- fans, went as far, fought as long, bled as freel^. and fell as thick as Pickett's men, Tho command now came along the line/*Front forward!" and the colnmn resumed ft* direction sralght down upon the centre Of the enemy's posi­ tion, Some men now looking to the right saw that the troops there' had en­ tirely disappeared, but how or when they left was not known. The enemy In front occupying an elevated position and watching closely every movement of the advancing column, say "the right gave way first, then the left broke up and fled the field: but the massive centre, composed of General Pickett's veterans ot Iron nerve, wounded iu scores of battles, were 'coming sternly on." Guns hitherto employed in firing at the troOps on the right and left sen; a6liowerof shells after the fleeing fu­ gitives, and then trained upon the centre, where the storm burst In ten­ fold fury, as converging batteries sent a concentrated fire of shot aud shell In. through and around the heroic column, l'he destruction of life In the ranks of that advancing host was fearful beyond precedent, officers going down by dozens, and the men by scores and fifties. Komper had gone down terri­ bly mangled, but Garnett stilt towered unhurt, and rode up and down the front line saying In a strong, ealm voice; "Faster; men! faster? Close up and step out faster, bti!i.<j!(Mi',t double quick T* The column wj|' approach!ng thv* Emmittsburg road, igjitre a line of infantry, stationed IwhtBd a stone • DOUKUH£ «I % " h«avv flr« of musketry. A scattering fire was opened along the frout of the division upon this line, when Garnett galloped along the line and called out,"Ceas* tiring," and itls command *vas promptly obeyed showing the wonderflii dislpllne of the ijieu. who reloaded their guns, shoul- /derpd arms and kept on without slack­ ening their pace, which was still a "quick step. The stone fence was oarrled without a struggle, cti« infantry and the skirmish line swept away before the division as trash before the broom. Two thirds of the distance w.as behind, and the 100 cannon in the rear were dumb1 and did not reply to the hotly worked guns in our frout. We were now 400 yards from the foot of Cemetery Hill, when away of to the right nearly half * mile, there appeared in the open field, ajlne of men at right angles with our own, a long, dark inaM, dressed in blue and cOmlng down at a "double ^uick' upon the unprotected right flank of Pickett's men, with their muskets "upon the right shoulder shift," their battle flags dancing and fluttering in the breeze created by their own rapid motion, aud their burnished bayonets glistening above their heads like forest twigs covered with sheets of sparkling ice when shaken by a blast. Garnett galloped along the line saying. "Faster men! faster!" and tlie front 11 tie broke forward iuto a double, quick, when Garnett called out. *Steadv! men steady! ' Don't double qniek. Save your wind and your amunition for the final charge!" and then went down among lhe dead, and his clarion volpe was no more heard above the roar of of battle. The enemy was now seen strengthening their lines where the blow was expected to strike by hurry­ ing up reserves from the right and left, the column from opposite direc­ tions passing each other double along our front like tho fingers of a man's two hands locking together. The distanco had again shortened, and officers In the enemy's lines could be distinguished by their uniforms from the privates. Then was heard behind that heavy thud of a muffled tread of armed men, that roar and rush of trampling feet; as Armstead's column from the rear closed up behind the front line (the last brigadier) took command, steped out Jn front with hi* hat uplifted on the point of his sword, and led the division, now four ranks deep, rapidly and grandly across tin* valley of death, covered with clover as soft as a Turkish carpet. There it was again! and again!--n sound filling the air above, below, around us. like the blast through the top of a dry cedar or the whirring sound made by the sudden flight of a flock of quail. It was grape and canis­ ter, and the column broke forward Into a double quick and rushed toward the stone wall, whete 4U cannon were belching forth grape and'eauister twice and thrice a minute. A hundred yards from the stone wall the flanking party on the right, coming down on a Itcatjf ran, halted suddenly Within fifty yard* and poured a deadly storm of maskot v- balis iuto Pickett's men, double qnfck* enlng across their front, and under thfci terrible cross tire the men reeled asm-1 ; staggard between failing ce lrades ami aud the right came pressing down upon the center, crowding the aftmpaniro into confusion. All ki*ow the purpoee to carry the heights In front, aud rh# S i mingled mass, from fifteen to thlrtJT deep, rushed toward the stone wal!. # . while a kindred men without order* faced to the right aai fnnght the flanking party, although fifty t» one, and for a time held Ihrtn at bay. " Muskets were seen crossed as soma men flre«l to the right and others M Jf the front, and the lighf^iiir^g waS: - . terrific--far beyond all other experfe^v ence even of PiAett'a men, ^'h® ^ once raised no clteor, while the welki* rang around them with the ""tTnioa^ tripple liuxza." The nhl veterans saw c tho fenr(uI odds against them, atxg other hosts gathering iarker ml - ' deeper still, < The time was too pvoctoas to Mrionti^ for acheer; they bnckled dOwto to the heavy task in alienee, and fought wleli| a feeling like despair. s The enemy v were falling back in front, wMleftffie^rS " were seen among their breakin^Jlnei , striving to maintain their gnptmd* ^ Pickett's-men were withtn alowfeet X J of the stone wall when tbo „ artillery ^ J delivered their last fire from fiii|isliot^/& ted to the muzzle.
