TOLD BY MAJOR MCDOWELL.

It was the first day of the battle of
Gettysburg. We were in line of battle on
the north side of knoll with our guns
planted at the brow where they COM
manded perfectly any advancing body of
the Confederates. After the battle had
been raging for some time our officers
could see the enemy preparing for a charge.
The guns were double shOtJed, and the
order was given to wait until the Confed-
crates came within short range. On came
the line, double-quick. until it was within
less than one hundred yards of the muzzles
OF our guns. There was flash of flame, a
roar that shook the hills and valleys, and
when the smoke cleared away there seemed
to be nothing but piles of dead and
wounded. Our shot had moved a ire
mendous gap in the line filled only by
PROSTATE bodies. Quick as the movement
could be executed, however, the advancing
line was reformed in front of the windrow
of bodies, and elbow to elbow the charge
was renewed. They were so near that We
could see their faces, and shall never for
get the expression of courage and deter
minatiOD, which IL seemed TO me l could
see as plainly as though we were face 10
face, and which showed that they were
either going to conquer or to be shot to
death. Again our guns belched forth, and
again the whole line to nan seemed to
20 down. A new windrO " OF the hundreds
of dead and dying was made considerably
in front of the former ore. Like magic
the line OF the enemy formed again, and
again elbow to elbow 10 front Of the piles
of their fallen comrades those undaunted
fellows came on.
Even amid the smoke that was now
clOudlng everything we could plainly see
that terrible expression of desperate and
fearless courage, which was almost as ap-
palling to US as the defamation of their
ranks must have been to them. A third time
our batteries poured forth their numerous
fire, and third time the charging troops
of the enemy disappeared, but only to
form again, and they finally made il so hot
for US that we were forced to withdraw 10
Cemetery Hill. | could not conceive of a
grander exhibition of courage in battle
than was exhibited by those Confederates.
Each time ii was almost certain death, and
yet not a man seemed TO waver. The pre-
csion with which they reformed after the
fearful defamation of their ranks that fol-
lowed each discharge of our guns was, |
think, the most marvellous thing that took
place under my observation during the
war.
An incident which occurred at the battle
of Drainsvill,s had a mixture of the tragic
and the humorous that makes it worth re-

his office and with his flag. While the
