Bodies In motion, by their mOmen-
tum, advance in the direction of least
resistance. A body of soldiers making
an attack form no exception to this
law OF physics. When the Phila-
delphia brigade, of Gibbons division,
which had been roughly handled the
day before, gave way as our men got in
charging distance, this point of least
resistance was filed by confederates-
a disorganized mob of about LOON
which five brigades had representa-
tives, and this is very foolishly called
the 3hlgh water mark of the confed-
eracy." Why, there was not fresh
regiment in the federal army which
could not have defeated this body, and
there was whole corps of fresh regi-
ments at hand. The Sixth, which by
many was considered the best in the
army, had not fired shot. If there
was any high water mark connected
with this battle, it was reached the af-
ternoon BEFORE while McLaws, Hood
and Anderson we're doing their fighting
and the precisQ time was when
Wright's brigade Of the last named
division, having driven the enemy be-
fore them, had carried . battery Of
twenty guns. Shortly afterward one
Of McLaws' brigades gave way, and
with its defeat went our fortunes.
Every shot fired by as the next day
was one more nail in the coffin of the
confoder1cy.
