Again, in 1868, just before the battle of
Gettysburg, II left on very short notice for
the front. Your correspondent distinctly
remembers seeing it on this occasion. We
were coming back from Gettysburg with
tattered flags and broken battalions An
inefficient COmmissarist had left the army
without soap for several weeks. and hard
marching over dusty roads in sweltering
weather for days and nights bad reduced
us and our clothing to a condition difficult
for h civilian TO fully realize. Clothing
needed replenishing 100, and thousands Of
the men were literally in rags. To crown
ali, the heavy rain following the battle had
filled the roads with mud which thousands
OF hOOfs and ten thousands Of feet had re-
duced to a liquid paste which 'splashed to
our very waists, and thus ragged, dirty,
covered with mud, deciminated by battle,
but flushed with hard earned victory. the
Army Of the Potomac marched into Fred
eriek City to find the Seventh doing guard
duty in the town. radiant in paper collars,
resplendent in polished boots and stylish
as the Old Guard itself. We rubbed the
powder-grime from our optics, looked
down at ourselves, up at the faultless to'tt
of the SeYenth-anG plodded along in the
AAuu dBdlu uluAAEllliE dudluStllao u uPoh bAO
fellow who wrote those line about the
''PoMP AND PRIDE AND CIRCUMSTANCE
of War, glorious Warl" But though the
Seventh never went into battle as an organ
ization it made itself felt throughout the
entire army in the class of men who went
from its ranks to hold commissions in the
volunteer service. Its members were
sought after to officer other regiments, and
OVER SIX HUNDRED
trained officers went thus out Of lis ranks
TO command other troops. OF these, three
rose to the Major Generals, nineteen be-
came BrigadIer Generals, twenty-nine be-
came COlOnels. Its old ArmOry was one of
the poorest in the city. and hence the sub
seription, the New ArIEory Fair, and the
text upon which so adequate a sermon hath
been preached by. MORLEY.
