that they might be sent TO his rela-

General Hancock sending them TO his
friends the first opportunity. Armi,
stead was brave soldier, with q most
chivalric presence, and came forward
in front OF his brigade, waving his
sword. He was shot through the body
and fell inside our lines. Some OF The
wounded rebels showed considerable
animosity toward our mon. One OF
them, who lay mortally wounded IN
front of the Sixty-ninth Pennsylvania,
sullenly refused TO be taken to the
bospital saving that he wanted to die
right there on the field where he fell.
The scene after Longstreets charge
was indescribable. In front of the
Philadelphia brigade the dead lay in
great heaps. Dismounted guns, ruins
of exploded caissons, dead and mutt
lated men and horses were piled up
together in every direction.
