Letter from Company A.


HEAD QUARTERS Co. A, llth REs'r., p. r. G..
On THE MARCH, NEAR WHITE PLAINS,
July 90, 1868.
Correspondence of the Alleghanian.
Observing that you have received an
incorrect account of the casualties in our
company at the action of Gettysburg, Pa,
1 thought it but proper to rectify the
mistakes, and endeavor to give you hur-
ried description of the part we have been
taking in the last month of this campaign.
Our fine times at Vienna, Va, came
suddenly to close, by our receiving orders
to join the Army of the Potomac, on the
23d. On that day we joined the Brigade
at Upton's Hill, and on the. morning of
the oath began long and weary march.
l can not give the details of this march,
suffice it to say that we marched
every day about eighteen miles till July
I'd, on the evening of which we arrived
at Gettysburg, about the time at which
the battle was raging the fercest.
We were taken to tho left as support
for the first and second Divisions of the
fifth Corps, in line close in the rear of
these Divisions where We soon discovered
that our services would shortly be required.
The fifth Corps being on the left, had to
ight against fearful odds, where the Rebels
wanting to turn the left and flank our
position, threw themselves in ovcrwhelm-
iug numbers upon these two Divieions.
The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1863-08-06

Although our men fought nobly, they
were forced to retire. They came back
slowly, fighting desperately for the ground
they were losing-the Rebels following
close upon them. The retreating columns
of our troops having passed our line, the
Rebels pushed on as if they would meet
with but little further resistance, but in
this they were mistaken, for when they got
within about one hundred yards, we fired
one volley and were ordered forward and
forward we went, in manner that did
not suit the Rebels, for they fed in the
widest disorder. We lay on the field
until the morning of the Sd, when we
advanced and charged on the rebels, who
were sheltered behind stone fences, bnt
who broke and fled at the first fire.
Having regained all that had been lost
by our troops, we were halted, and re-
mained until noon Of the 4th, when the
sixth corps moved up and pursued the
retreating enemy.
The loss in killed in our company was
Frederick j. Evans-a brave and noble
soldier, whose death the whole company
regret. In wounded we had Lieut. D.
Jones, slightly, John Keough, Commodore
P. Stevens and VIM. Powell. The three
latter were sent to the General Hospital.
Capt. Burke led the company as he has
ever through all our engagements, in
manner that elected the commentator of
ALL
We are now retracing the ground we
marched over last fall, after the battles of
South Mountain and Antietam, on our
way to Fredericksburg. Some suppose
we are going there again, but it is only
conjecture. We are willing to follow the
gallant Meade wherever he leads GER
tain that under him, and with anything
like equal advantages, We can always serve
the rebels as We did at Gettysburg.
Yours, Of"
