Hanc0ck's Heroism at Gettysburg.
Brooklyn Eagle


Hundreds and thousands were stricken
down; the shrieks of animals and screams Of
wounded men were appalling; still the awful
rushing and sound of flying missiles went on
and apparently never would cease. 1t was then,
when the frmest hearts had begun to quail,
that the army witnessed one of the grandest
sights ever beheld by any army on earth. Sud
denly band began to play The Star SDangled
Banner" and Gen. Hancock, with his staff
Maj. Mitchell, Capt. Bingham, Capt Parker
Capt. Br0nson-with corps flag flying in the
hands of Private Wells, appeared on the right
of his line uncovered and rode down the front
Of his men TO the left. The soldiers held their
BREATH expecting every moment to see him fall
from his horse pierced by dozen bullets, but
still he rode on, while the shot roared and
crashed around him, every moment tearing
great gaps in the ranks by his side.
"Stormed at by shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well"
Every soldier felt his heart thrill as he wit
messed the magnificent courage Of his General,
and he resolved to do something that day which
would equal it in daring. Just as Hancock
reached the left of his line the rebel battery
ceased to play, and their infantry, IS 900 strong
were seen emerging from the woods and ad-
vancing up the hill. Hancock knew the artil-
lery fire had been intended to demoralize his
men and cover the advance Of their infantry,
which was to make the real attack. Turning
his horse, he rode slowly up his line from left
to right, holding his hat in his hand, bowling
and smiling to the troops as they lay fiat on the
ground. Hardly had he reached the right of
the line when the men who, inspired by the
courage of their General, could now hardly re-
strain themselves. received orders to attack the
advancing rebels. Eighty guns which Han
cock had concentrated opened their brazen
mouths and streams of blue bullets flew from
the muzzles of our rifles to the breasts Of the
Confederates.
1t was an awful day, and Longstreet's " Old
Guard of the South" melted away like wax
under the terrible fire. OF the Is, 900 who came
to the attack 5000 fell or were captured on the
hillside. Thirty stands of colors and an i'm
mense number of small-arms were taken. Han
cock was everywhere, riding the storm of bat
tie as if he bore charmed life. At last just
at the moment of victory he was seen to reel
in his saddle, and would have fallen to the
ground had he not been helped from his
horse. A ball had pierced his thigh and for a
time it was thought the wound was mortal
Tell Gen. Meade" said Hancock, addressing
his Aid, Col. Mitchell, " that the troops under
my command have repulsed the enemy and
gained a great victory. The enemy are now
flying in all directions in my front"

was the likeliest place to look Mr. Scott ordered
him to watch the house, the occupants, and
everyone who visited there, and bring the
list of the lady's callers to him. The same
night the trap was set, and the game
was banged in a very remarkable man
ner. Mr. Pinkerton with a squad of detect
ives established watch over the house. The
detectives were not only to report what was to
be seen there and the movements of Mrs Green
ough and her family, but they were directed
to shadow" all persons who left the house;
to follow them wherever they went, no matter
who they were, whether Senators or Judges or
Generals or Lieutenants. If letter was car
ried TO the post-office arrangements were made
to capture it, and if the telegraph office was
visited the fact was to be reported at once. l
don't believe that detectives ever received more
comprehensive instructions, for Mr.. Stanton and
MIR. Scott were determined to plug that leak.
"a reserve of detectives was placed in Frank
lin Square to relieve those who were on guard
in case they had TO follow visitor, and at
nightlall Mr. Pinkerton himself took the first
watch. He had TO wait good while, but soon
after midnight an officer passed up the steps
and rang the bell. Mr.. Pnkerton recognized
him at once. He occupied a responsible and
confidential position at the War Department,
which gave him an opportunity TO know all
that was going on there, aud was related to
men of prominence who were in daily consul

Sales Yesterday, 1900
Bales.

Money rules in strong demand at
per cent. Lo,al securities continue
steady.
The local cotton market WAS again
weak yesterday and factors seemed
anxious to realize. Buyers were moi
slow to t,ks advantage OF the situa'
ton and demanded concessions on
official quotations, which were freely
granted. The official quotation at the
Exchange was SIC for middling, the
tone being quoted strong; but this
hardly represents the condition of the
make, as a want OF strength was
clearly manifest and led to declip g
of &c from the opening figures. The
days sales aggregated 260O ba'es.
At New York spots closed quiet
and easy; middling, 9 7.16c. Futures
quiet; October, 9.13@9.14c.
A leading New York circular on cot
ton futures says: In the absence of
further important offerings and as
sisted somewhat by slightly improved
advices from Liverpool, the market
made steadier showing with 2 or 3
points recovery.
At New 0rleaus yesterday spots
were firm; middling, Sc; futures
steady; DC ober, 8 S7@8.S9a.
At Liverpool spots were dull, in
buyers favor; middling, 5Bi futures
were tt:ajy; October, 10-64d.
In the general market there were
no features of note.
