1t was my pleasure to know General

his high personal and soldiery character

to General Meade as the honoaed guest.

1t viii not be expected that any con
siderable space be devoted to the un-
.seemly controversy over those brilliant
but disastrous Confederate charges which
lost the day at Gettysburg. | could
scarcely throw upon the subject any add
tional light nor bring to its elucidatIon
any material testimony not already ad-
dUced by those who have written on the
one side or the other. A sense OF JUS
tee. however, to say nothing Of loyalty to
Lees memory, impels me to submit one
observation: and | confidently affirm
that nearly every soldier who fought un-
der him will sympathize with that sug-
g~estion. 1t is this: that nothing that oc-
CURED at Gettysburg, nor anything that
has been written since OF that battle, has
lcssened the conviction that, had Lees
orders been PROMPTLY and cordially exc
cuted. Meade's centre III the third day
would have been penetrated and the
Union army overwhelmingly defeated.
Lees hold upon the confidence of his
army was absolute. The repulse at Get
tysburg did not shake it. | recall nc IN
stance in history where a defeated army

faith so complete, and gave to him subse-
quent support 50 enthusiastic and UNI

General Longstreet is undoubtedly
among the great American soldiers who
attained distinction III our Civil War: and
to myself. and, l am sure, to a large ma
jority OF the Southern people. it Is a
source of profound regret, that he and his
friends should nave been brought into
such Improbable and ill-tempered %contro-
versy with the friends of his immortal
chieftain.

Americans went down dead or wounded,

Confederate leaders, Barksdale and
Senmes, fall and die, but their places
are quickly assumed by the next IN com
mand The Union forces OF Vincent and
Weed, with Hazlett's artillery, have
reached the summit, but all three are
killed. The apex Of Little Round Top IS
the point of deadliest struggle. The day
ends, and thus ends the battle. As the
last rays of the setting sun fall upon
the summit, they are reflected from the
batteries and bayoncts OF the Union
soldiers still upon it, with the bleeding
Confederates struggling to possess 1t. The
cmbattled hosts sleep upon their arms.
The stars look down at night upon a har-
rowing scene Of pale faces all over the
field, and of sufferers in the hospitals
behind the lines-an army OF dead and
wounded numbering over twenty thou
sand.
THE THIRD DAY.
The third days struggle was the bloody
postscript to the battle of the first and
second. There was a pause. Night had
INTERVIEWED. 1t was only a pause for
breath. of sleep there was little for the
soldiers, perhaps none for the throbblng
brains of the great chieftains. Victory
to Lee meant Southern independence.
Victory to Meade meant an ~lnseparable
Union. The life of the Confederacy: the
unity of the Republic-thcse are the
stakes of July the third. Meade decided
to defend. Lee resolved to assault. The
decisive blow 1T Meade's lett centre was
planned for the early morning. The morn
ing came and the morning passed. The
Union right. impatient at the Confederate
delay, opens fire on Lees left. The chal-
ienge IS answered by a Confederate
charge under Edward Johnson. The Union
trenches are carrsc!. RugerS Union
lines sweep down from the heights on
Johnson's left ara recover these trenches.
High noon is reached, but the assault on
the left centre IS still undelivered. With
every moment Of delay, Lees chances are
diminishing with geometrlcal progression.
At last the heavy signaEguns break the
fatal silence and summon the gray lines
of infantry to the charge. Pickett's NIr-
ginians are leading. The tired veterans
of Heth and Wilcox and Pettlgrew move
with them. Down the long slope and
up the next the majestic column sweeps

in retreat. Those at a distance were still
resisting, but giving ground, and it was
only necessary for me to press onward IN
order to insure the same results which
invariably follow such flank movements.
In less than one-half hour my troops
would have swept up and over those hills,
the possession Of which was OF such mo-
mentous consequence. 1t is not surprls-
ing. with a full realization of the conse-
quences OF Il halt. that | should have re-
fused at first to obey the order. Not un-
til the third or fourth order of the most
peremptory character reached me, did |
obey. | think | should have rlsked the
consequences Of disobedience even then,
but for the fact that the order to halt
was accompanied with the explanation
that General Lee. who was several miles
away, did not wish to give battle at Get
tysburg. 1t Is stated on good authority
that General Lee said, sometime before
his death, that If Jackson had been there,
he would have won in this battle a great
and possibly decisive victory. L cannot
vouch for the truth OF this statement as
| did not hear it, but no soldier IN a
great crisis ever wished more ardently for
a deliVerer's hand than | wished Tor one
hour of Jackson. when | was ordered to
halt. Had he been there, his quick eye
would have caught at a glance the entire
situation, and instead of hating me, he
would have urged me forward and have
pressed the advantage to the utmost,
simply notifying General Lee that the
battle was on, and he had decided to oc-
cupy the heights. Had General Lee him.
self been present this would undoubtedly
have been done. Absent. as he necessa-
rily was, and intending to meet General
Meade at another point and IN defensive
battle, he would still, when the facts We're
made known. have applauded the most ag
gressive movements though IN conflict
with his general plan. From the situation
plainly to be seen on the first afternoon,
and from facts that afterward came to
light as to the position OF the different
corps of General Meade's army, it seems
certain that if the Confederates had simply
moved forward, following up the advant
ages gained, and striking the separated
Union commands in succession, the victory
would have been Lees instead of Meade's
