/ OF us twigs were cut half of, aud were
hanging wilted and ready to drop to the
ground. The trunk of the tree. about
ten inches in diameter, was cut and scar
red i'll every part. The fire which struck
| these trees was that which was directed
! from our muskets upon the advancing
rebels. Every tree and bush for the dis
tance of half mile along these works
was nearly rs badly marked. The storm
of outlets must have been as thick as
! hailstOnes in an ordinary storm.
How man could exist in it and come
out unhurt, is difficult to imagine.
The trees are not alone in displaying
the terrible effects of the shot. The
rocks, wherever they face toward our
breastwOrks, are thickly strippled
with dots of white On one rock
presenting a surface of about seven square
feet, bullets have left their traces in little
blurred spots, like snow flake of the
size. The missiles, hattened by contact
are lying scattered about in the leaves,
most Of them giving little sign that they
have ever been musket projectiles.
Our sharpshooters in some localities oc-
cupied novel positions. One of them
found the half of what had once been a
hollow tree, with hole left by the re-
moval of knot, facing directly
toward the ground where the rebels ad-
vanced. He was thus provided with a
convenient lOophole from which he could
fire upon the enemy. Another found a
nook between two rocks, about two feet
wide by six or eight long, and as many
high. The end of this nook was toward
the rebels, and filled up with smaller
stone. 1t made fine spot for a sharp
shooter to occupy. 1t was occupied to
good effect by one of our marksmen, as
three or four dead rebels in front of the
position give evidence. Every conceiva-
bic corner was filled with a sharpshooter
always on the lookout for the foe. 1t
was this fact that operated to slay the
rebels in larger numbers. Their loss on
the right was very heavy. though not so
much 50 rs on the left. The extreme
right of the line Is close upon a meadow
on the bank of Rock creek. Here but
few marks of the battle were seen, the
most of them being from cannon shot
that were probably thrown from single
batteries on the other side of the creek.
Lines drawn from this point to the ex-
treme left, and again from each wing,
would form a triangle with the longest
an idea of the shape of the line of battle
by picturing to himself a horseshoe, the
toe at the cemetery and the wings at the
heel The horseshoe should be widened
at the heel to make the illustration ap-
proach perfection. Officers with whom |
have conversed say the line was nearly
quarter of circle. This position gave
US great advantage over the rebels. We
could concentrate on either wing or on
the center by moving from two to three
miles Acting on the circum ference of
our outer circle, Lee W as forced to move
ten miles to make similar concentration.
By watching Lees movements carefully
General Meade was able to checkmate
him on each occasion.
CONCLUSION.
The great battle is over. The enemy is
in full retreat toward Virginia, with our
victorious army in pursuit. Ere this
reaches you the two hosts may again
measure strength.
