There has recently been a gathering

for the unnecessary and uncalled for p
pose of marking spo.s where certain eye'
in that battle occurred, but really to adv

history, and incidentally to try and III
Gearv's election. They tried to coax
Confederate Generals TO come up and ht
them, but they were not TO be used for q
such purpose. Neither would Meade or a

sense. SO the affair was run by the shod
ties and G. A. Rs, plenty Of whom ;
