Halleck to question the propriety of
Hooker's movement against Lees COM
munications. This caused Hooker to
ask to be relieved from command, His
request was Immediately granted, and
Gen. George Gordon Meade, Penn
sylyanian, was assigned in his place,
taking command on June %. Meade at
once directed the whole army north
ward towards Harrisburg, in order to
force Lee into battle before he could
cross the Susquehanna. Fitzpatrick led
the advance cavalry, Buford followed
on the left and Gregg-another Penn
sylvanian-on the right. Fitzpatrick
reached Hanover on the Both, in time to
repulse an attack by part of Stuart's
cavalry. Stuart, finding his direct road
to Gettysburg barred, marched on to

battle. Buford, moving up the Cumber-

80 HE battle of Gettysburg was
fought on July I, 2 and 3, 1868.
1t was the greatest battle OF the
Civil War, not only as regards the
number Of men engaged and the casual
ties resulting, but in decisive charac-
ter. 1t is generally conceded that the
confederate cause reached high tide at
Gettysburg, and from that point re-
cedcd gradually until the final collapse.
About 1G2, 600 men were engaged In
this battle 100000 Federals and 10000
Confederates), and the result was the
turning point in the war. Gen. Lee

them. Meade, while pushing on toward
Gettysburg. had not decided to fight at
that place. but to better cover Balti-
more and Washington had directed his
chiefs Of engineers and artillery to Sc
lect line ut Pipe Greek for the coming
battle. when the collision of the ad-
vancing troops determined that it
should take place at Gettysburg.
This town is six miles from the Mary
land line and thirty-tive miles south of
Harrisburg. The broken ranges of the
South mountain through the passes in
which Lee and his legions marched, lie
a short distance to the west and north,
while surrounding the town on all sides
are gently rolling ridges, but on the
ridges and in the valleys were boulders
and confused masses of rocks here and
there, which earned for one rockstrewn
place the name Of Devils Den. The
undulating character Of the country, the
strong elevations, the facilities for the
concentration Of armies afforded by the
numerous roads. which radiate from the
town like the spokes of a wheel, the
heights and the intervening plains, the
woodlands and the open fields, all COM
bine to make it an ideal place for a
battle.
Heath's division, advancing on the
morning of July by the Chambersburs
pike, approached the line held by
Buford with his dismounted cav
airy upon McPherson's Ridge, and
ut about a. M, Buford's artillery
opened fire. Buford held back the
advance Of Heath's division for
about two hours. until Reynolds, who
had been fastened forward by Meade
to choose line of battle, came up with
the First corps, to REINFORCE Buford,
establishing his line from the Fairfield

Johannesburg road, breaking back
along this road at an acute angle, and
extending a short distance down the
hill toward the low ground lying north

until relieved by Gen. John Newton,
who, ordered forward to command the
corps, met 1t at Cemetery Hill. The
losses on both sides were heavy, and
the fighting was characterized by great
valor and determination. The right of
the Eleventh corps under Barlow was
also heavily engaged and suffered Sc
verely before falling back.
During the night and following day
the other corps came up. The Twelfth
arrived on the evening Of the LIST, the
Second and part Of the Fifth at I a. m.
on the I'd, the remainder Of the Fifth
arriving at noon, and the last of the

Sixth corps, after marching thlrty-four
miles, at 4 p. m.

Emmetsburg road to the peach orchard
where it was sharply refused with its
left extending toward the Devils Der

its left, through the village and along
Seminary Ridge, Ewell on the left

south, overlapping Sickles' left.

from which a. part Of the Twelfth corps
had been withdrawn to strengthen the
left, was occupied and held during the
night. The fighting on the Union left
during the day was severe, and the
losses, particularly OF the Third corps
large.
The Third Day.
At dawn on July 3, with Hancock in
command Of the Union army in the
field, fighting for the recovery Of the
works on Culps Hill began and contin-
ued until nearly noon, when the Confed-
crates were driven out, the line re-es-
tablished, and the Union right and rear
again made secure. The Confederate
losses In this part at the field were
severe, and the Federal losses also
large. At about 1 p. m. Lee opened
upon the Union center with about 1855
guns, and Meade replied with about
eighty. This grand artillery duel con-
tinued without intermission for two
hours, and the very earth quaked I'm.

more than 200 cannon.
At p. m. Pickett's division of Long,
streets corps advanced to the charge.
The division was composed Of $4,000
men and they were Of the flower of the
splendid army. The advance was made
in three lines across the very gently
rolling slopes of the valley for a dis
lance Of about ], 400 yards, over most Of
which it was exposed to a converging
artillery fire, and after passing the En-

Another tancle in the electric lighting
question is looming up and will fall to

city building have been remiss in furnish

But to get the plant going by dark, to-

matter up to see what's to be done at the
