EDITORIAL NOTE
THE 10th Me. AT GETTYSBURG.
Gallant Fighting and Heavy Losses Of ;
Regiment from the Pine Tree State,

EDIToB NATIONAL TRIBUNE: At the
battle Of Gettysburg, July, 1868, was
a member of Co. 1, 10Th Me-, First Bri-
gade, Second Division, First Corps, Gen.
John O. Robinson commanding division.
The brigade was composed Of the 9th
and 104th n. Y, 10Th Pa, 18th Mass.
and 18th Me-, commanded by Gen. Paul.
He was shot through both eyes in the bat
tie.
The division formed in semicircle in
front Of the Seminary, where we waited
a short time, when we were ordered to
the right nearly parallel to the Chambers
burg road, where we were hotly engaged
GERS and men. We made a desperate
charge across a field to the enemy, about
200 yards. The enemy dispersed. Then
three lines advanced to the rescue of their
routed comrades. When the division was
ordered to fall back the enemy opened on
US with grape and canister. We re-
formed and kept up the fight.
About 4 p. M, July !, shot and shell
were cutting great gaps in our lines from
three sides. All seemed lost, when Gen.
Robinson, division commander, ordered
Col. Tilden, commanding the 18th Me-, ~
take his regiment to the right to hold the
enemy In check, SO the rest could retire.
The regiment rushed to a position be-
hind the stone wall. The rebels fired upon
US to engulf us.
A p. Hills Corps from the west and
Ewell's, from the east, with 30 cannon
opened upon the 18th Me.
The regimental losses were as follows
18th Mass.-Killed and wounded, 20

that place, and were reviewed by the
President. Next day we started on our

only our First Brigade arrived at Port

Jackson forced his way across the bridge,
and made his escape to Gordonyille.
Shields's Division remained In camp
near Front Royal d week or more, and
then we marched across tho mountain to
Manassas Junction, where we remained
until about July ], 1862. We then went
to Alexandria and took boats for Harri-
sons Landing, on the James River, ar
irving there the evening Of July 3, 1852.
We landed and went to the front through
McClellan's camps. 1 well remember the
Army of the Potomac boys calling US
fresh troops. We thought we wero any
thing but fresh.

sion all of the time, and l never knew
that Jackson made US scurry any place:

at Shiloh" in which he claims that Grant
was whipped to a finish on the first day.
I soldiered under Grant around Peters
burg and ND to Appomattox for more than
a year. We did an immense amount Of
hard fighting about those places, and from
a privats's standpoint we did not always
come out best, but from the Generals
standpoint I suppose we did. His object
was to capture Lees army, and nothing
failed that contributed to that end. II

PURSUIT OF LEE.
Events Following the Battle of Gettysburg

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I write
to put the two Philadelphia comrades
right on tho time the Sixth Corps left
Gettysburg. My company was on the
skirmish limo on July 4. / didn't know
we were so near the rebel lines until last
Summer, when drove around on the new
road forming the rebel line Of battle.
The point where / was stationed Is
not over 100 yards from the rebel line.
l remember In the afternoon it rained,
and after the rain O COW came to our line.
and l MIXED her without any trouble.
Three OF four of US got all the milk we
wanted. Tho COW was wounded In the
right front leg, and on the right side Of
her face, below tha horn.
We were taken up on Big Round Top
on the morning of the 9th, and soon af-
terwards our corps (the Sixth was in pur-
suit of Lee, who had withdrawn his army
on the night of the 4th. We left Big
Round Top, crossed over the Valley Of
Death, and up through woods, coming
out at the Peach Orchard. The sight
l beheld that day / will never forget. Our
brigade took the lead, and my regiment
was thrown out as flankers.
That evening we came up to the rebels
few shells at them. Here we went into
camp for the night. Next day we marched
as far as Fairfield, hating at sunset, hun
cry and tired About midnight we moved,
arriving at Emmitsburg at daylight. There
we lay down to rest. While lying there
tho First Corps passed rs and gave each
one of us a hardtack. We resumed our
and untraveled road across Catoctin
Mountain, and 1t was very dark. The
great majority OF the soldiers gave out
and lay down till morning. 1t rained
nearly all night, and l was SO hungry and
fatigued that / did not know what to do.
Next day we marched down into the
valley, and camped near Middletown,
stacked arms l struck off to a farmhouse
to see if l could get something to eat.
When / came to the gate the guard said
| l could not 60 in, as it was the Generals
headquarters. / went around to the back
of the house, and seeing q white woman
at the window, / asked her for something
to eat, and she refused me, saying that II

fat colored woman came to the window
with both hands full of crusts of bread,
mashed potatoes, chicken gravy, slaw,
pieces of pie, etc. took my cap Off and
she filed it. The good old lady told me
to get away before missus came out.
| went out along tho fence and sat
down and alto everything and turned my
cap inside out and licked the gravy off.
But It was not half an hour before I got
so sick I thought I would die. It was
all I could do to get back to my tent.

well and clean, as though they had just
come from Sunday SCHOOL, There were
two boats waiting for us-the New York
City and the George st. Glare. l was
on the latter boat. After we left the land
ing about two hours we had some crack
crs issued to us, and were told not TO eat
too much. But the favor of the meat
cooking on the boat made the boys feel
awful hungry, and when they called 'cof-
fee" we all rushed to one side of the boat
and nearly made 1t dip water. The Cap
tain of the boat came to US land said:
"Men, trim boat, or every one of us will

the Captain told us we must not all rush
to one side, as the pilot could not manage
the boat.

clothing. After we were there about
three days we were sent to Camp Chase,
