saw some terrible sights.
1t is now late i'll the evening: all is

CAPITULATION OF vICKSBCEG.
Saturday. July 4. 1S63-I expected to
be walked up in the morning by the roar
of artillery, but instead of that all was
quiet. The truce still continued. and the
impression that a capitulaton would be
made became very general; yet there was
no excitement among the boys. Later. 10
a. m.-The word has come that the strong
hold of rebeldom is indeed ours. Loud
shouts go up from our whole line.
1t is doubtful whether our division gets
to go into the city; but, in any case.
this is joyful Fourth to us. Hence
forth we will celebrate the day not only
on account of the rise of our country, but
also on account of the fall Of its enemy.
Late in the evening | went out and ex-
amined good portion of the enemy's
works. They are formidable in themselves,
but far more so on account of their posi-
ton. Their stockade was torn into splin-
tiers by our shells. and many trees We're
torn down, some OF them even two and a
half feet in diameter | had not much
time to look, however. for the order came
to be ready to march at Z O'Clock: pass
ed, however, and we did not march. The
boys extemporizad fireworks, and so passed
very pleasant evening; Yet we could
hardly realize that the Western Gibraltar
was ours.

CANDY'S BRIGADE AT GETTYSBURG.
The First Union Troops to Occupy Little
Round Top.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: On the
afternoon of July /, 1863. when the gal
liant fighters of the First and Eleventh
Corps. after repeated, prolonged and dead
ly contests, had been Outnumbered, out
fanked and driven off. We're fastening to
a new position on Cemetery Ridge and
Gen. BufOrd's Cavalry were making brave
resistance to the enemy advancing on the
left, under orders from Gen. Hancock, the
First and Third Brigades of Geary's Di-
vision of the Twelfth Corps went into po-
sitiOn to the right Of and near Little
Round Top, and established the first line
Of battle extending from that point toward
Cemetery Ridge, eventually connecting
with the left of the First Corps.
Gen. John w. Geary, always active and
vigilant. saw the Importance of holding
Little Round Top, and ordered Col Can
dy, then commanding the First Brigade,
to occupy that position on the night of
July l. 1863, with two regiments, and the
9Th Ohio and 147th Pa. performed that
duty, guarding that front well out toward
the Emmitsburg Road until the next
morning, when relieved by Gen. Birney,
Of Sckles's Corps. While it is true that no
actual fighting occurred OH that part of
our line that night, yet inasmuch as Skin
mishing was going on in our front, and as
these brigades went into position with
skirmish lines out prepared for an expect
ed battle (which the hating of the enemy
alone prevented. the absence of actual fir
ing does not and should not detract from
the Importance of the position occupied or
the duty performed, yet the occupation of
Little Round Top and the establishing of
this first line of battle by Gen. Geary is
never mentioned in accounts of this great
contest at Gettysburg, and in reality seems
to be unknown to the great mass of COM
rades who fought there.
Some may ask. if Little Round Top was
occupied, as stated, on July l, how did it
happen that Gen. Warren. whose name
and fame are connected with that place.
and whose statue graces its summit, found
no troops there on the afternoon of July 2.

after brief illness. Gen. Charles Candy
succeeded him on the committee. and met
with ms on that date. five out IF six being
present. all of whom were also there on
the night of July I. 1863
The location having been agreed upon.
the next step was To select the design and
material for our marker. and obtain per-
mission Of the Secretary of War. through
the Battlefield Commission, to put the
same in place. After due consideration
the committee decided to have Il bronze
tablet 2SX30 inches. with letters one inch
i'll hight, bearing the following inscription:

along the ridge in rear of this tablet. The
9Th Ohio and 147th PA. occupied Little
Round Top at dusk on picket duty.
July 2.-Earlv in the morning the bril-
gade moved to Culp's Hill.
This tablet is set in the face of gran
tie die, which rests upon {. granite base.
At the apex of the die is n five-pointcd
star Ghc Twelfth Corps badge. while on
the base. i'm raised letters four inches in
length is First Brigade, Second Division,

This marker is four feet high. composed
of the best bronze and granite. and makes
a neat and substantial appearance.
In the placing of this bronze tablet the
members of this brigade have not only
marked an important location. but have
erected Il lasting testimonial to the gallant
officers who commanded them in that bat
tie, whose names are as immortal rs his
tory. all of whom. with but two excep-
tions. have joined the Grand Encampment
above. Col. Patrick and Creighton having
been killed in battle while the others pass

officers are Gems. Candy and Powell, both
of the 66th Ohio.

WHAT TINS PANAMA ROUTE 70.
u IL AS.OS Miles Long and F"Iiows
Chasres River Most OF Distance.

~ IL Ab.Ob Auee Long anu EoHoWa
ChAEres River Most of Distance.
The Panama route is bat 49.09 miles
long from ocean to ocean which is but
little more than one-four OF the total
length OF the Nicaragua cute. There
is, therefore, less room for variety OF
features than is found on the Nicara-
qua line. The city of Colon. formerly
called Apinwall. was chosen by tho
old Panama company as the Atlantic
terminus. The route then follows
along the marshes in a sOuthwesterly
direction to little place called Gatun,
on the Chagres river. From that point
It follows the line OF that riv In n
general way to Obispo, thir, miles
from Colon.
At obispo the route leaves the Cha
gres and entsrs the BmpeFador cut,
which merges into the greaf GuleSra
cut, where the line crosses the CONT
mental divide. From the lattor point
its general course lies along small
stream called the Rio Grande until II
reaches the waters OF Panama bay.
This route has attained great promi-
nence within the latst twenty years in
consequence OF the work done on It by
the old Panama Canal Company. a
French corporation OF which Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps was the head. II was
not until 1883 that work upon large
scale was begun. The plan adopted
was that OF a sea-level canal and in
cluded a bottom width of seventy-two
feet and a navigable depth OF 29.5 feet.
The entire cost of the work was esti-
mated by De Lesseps in 1880 at about
S12S. .000, 900. and eight years for the
time required.
Work under this sea-level plan was
prosecuted actively until the near end
OF 1887. says a writer in Scribner's,
when 1t became evident that the canal
on a sea-level plan could not be con-
structed for the amount money and
time then available to tn company.
