serve artillery, ordnance, baggage, and
field hospitals, guarded by a single reg
iment of infantry, and also place him In
position to assault the sorely-pressed
infantry on Cemetery Hill in their rear.
With this incentive and the imperative
orders of Gen. Lee to urge him on, he
most viciously attacked. pressing for
ward in close columns by squadrons.
The veteran cavalry of Stuart presented
beautiful sight. AT once Pennington
and Randalrs Union batteries of light
artillery opened fire on them, but could
not stop their advance. On they came
with that wild cheer so familiar to the
ears of the Union soldiers.
They were met with counter-charge
by Clusters men. Riding at the head
of the 1st Mich. was Gen. Geo. A. Gus
ter, with drawn saber, as beautiful a
picture of individual heroism as the eye
ever gazed upon.
Mcintosh, with his brigade, himself
riding at the head of the Sd Pa. at the
same time charged them on their flank
AS the Union and Confederates met q
resounding crash was heard, and scores
of horses fell. Men and horses were
crushed together in a wild, struggling
fighting mass. Sabers were used with
murderous effect, and the sharp rattle
of carbines and revolvers sounded the
death knell of many brave men.
The Confederates were forced to
yield. and retired sullenly past the Rum
mel Farm buildings to the wood from
which they had started on their charge
Repeated efforts were made by Stuart
to accomplish his purpose. but with
out avail. Gregg and his cavalry met
and repulsed every attempt. About 5
o'clock Stuart gave up, and retired to
the York road. and the Union right and
rear were safe.
The writer having made a study OF
Gettysburg for years, is firmly con-
WINGED that a great and overwhelming
disaster to the Union arms was averted
on that afternoon of July 3, 1863, by
the heroic fighting of the cavalry under
Gen. David Mem. Gregg. Of which or
ganization the 10th n. Y. was brave
and efficient member.
1t is serious to contemplate the dis
aster that would have occurred had
Stuart gained the Union rear, and the
effect it would have had upon the
Union infantry, SO sorely pressed by
Longstreet's charge.
Not only at Gettysburg, but from
December, 1861, until the close of the
war, the 10th n. Y. Cav. made record
on many a hard-fought battlefield that
will in the years to come be lasting
tribute to their worth as brave and pa
triotic soldiers.-Dewitt C. Hagadorn,
Lockwood, y. Y.

Mimi, Orange Park. Fla, writes: "I
wish some of the old boys of the Cd
Mimi. would contribute to picket
Shots" Perhaps the I'd Mimi does not
rank as one of the famous regiments,
but there is one thing that the MEM

service. They never learned to retreat,

left the regiment at Atlanta, my three
years enlistment being out. I am away

NELSON'S DIVISION At SHILOH.

Editor National Tribune: In your ac-

that Gen. Nelson did not arrive on
the battlefield until 5 p. M, though ac-
cording to Grants report he received
an order to do so when he (Grant) left
Savannah to go up to Pittsburg LSnd-
ing. Nelson says that he did not re-
ceive his orders until 1880 p. m, when

Gen. Nelson's headquarters on the
morning that the battle of Shiloh

explain why our division did not reach
Pittsburg Landing until late in the day.

brigades of infantry and some artillery
and cavalry. The First Brigade, under

Government Ownership Of Railways.

lines in the empire has been passed in the
house of representatives at Toxic by a
aiority OF more than two to one. Gov
eminent ownership and government opera
ton OF railroads are not new principles in
Japanese policy. and so far as applied
they seem to have worked reasonably
well. The total railway mileage of the
empire, exclusive of Korea, is 1851. OF
this, 1900 miles are owned and worked by
the government. the balance being in the
hands Of 81 private companies, OF which
three are subsidized by the state treasury.
Official statistics show that the income OF
the state-managed railways is larger in
proportion TO the mileage than that of the
corporation lines, while the cost of opera
ton is about equal
Government ownership and operation
of railways are common in Europe. Aus
! tria has more miles under government
control than II has under the control OF
private companies; practically all the
railways in Belgium are government
property and the same is true of Germany,
while Switzerland and Holland are largely
served by government lines. What APP
