Pickett Pickett therefore finds him
self alone with his three brigades.
Far from hesitating, his soldiers rush
forward at a dOUbie-qulck. A lire
OF musketry breaks cut along the en-
tire front OF Gibbons division. The
Confederate ranks are thinning as far
as the eye can reach. GaInett, whose
brigade has kept little in advance,
and who, although sick, has declined
to leave the post of hoIcr, falls dead
within hundred yards OF the Federal
line; for an instant his troops come TO

which opens fire upon the enemy.
Gibbons, seeing the enemy advanc-
ing with such determination, tries to
stop his progress by a counter
charge but his voice is not heard; his
soldiers fire in haste, without leaving
their ranks; the Confederates I'll =
upon them. Unfortunately for the as
sailants. their right not being pro-
tected by Wilcox their left is exposed
to the little wood which stretches be-
yond the Federal line. STANDARDS sol
diers, concealed by the foliage, have
suffered little from the bOnbardment;
Hancock, always ready to seize IA
vorable opportunity, causes th2m to
form en- potence along the edge Of the
wood in order to take the enen2y's line
in flank. Two regiments from Arm
istead's right thus receive a murder
Gus IRE which slMiost decim9tes and
disOreanizes them. The remainder or
the brigade throws itself in the rear
of the centre of Pickett'S line, which,
following this movement, mcnentar-
lily inclines towards Hays in order TO
attack the FedeIals at close quarters.
Armistead, urging his men forward,
has reached the front rank between
Kemper and Garnett-if it be yet pos
sible to distinguish the regiments and
brigades in this compact mass Of HUI
man beings, which, all covered with
blood, seems to be driven by an ire
sistible force superior to the irdivid
ual will OF those composing it-and
throws himself like q stone wall

Kemper is wounded in his turn.
Out OF eighteen field officers and four
generals Pickett and enc lieutenant
coicrei alone remain unframed. There
is hardly any enc left around them. and
it is 9. miracle to see them yet safe and
sound in the midst CT suel carnage.
The division does not fall back; it is
annihilated. The flags which a while
ago were bravely floating upon the en-
emy's parapets fall successfully to the

conQuerors. A number CT soldiers, not
daring to pass a second time the
ground over which the Federals cross
their fire, throw down their arms.
Among these who are trying to gain
the Southern lines many victims are
stricken down by cannon balls. The
conflict is at an end. Out of four thou
