The nIo,cment by the FInnks.

The Movement by the Flnnks.
Meade had handled his army safely
and conservatively, keeping the Sixth
Corps in reserve for any startling emer-
gency. AT this distance of time it
seems probably quite as well, since he
did not have the Sixth Corps in readi-
ness to dash over the stone wall and
sweep on the heels of Pickett thru the
Confederate line. that NE refrained from
the countercharge altogether. He did
issue a very wise order for the Fifth
Corps to move out in the direction OF
Lees right flank. This was safe, sclen-
tific and promised rich results. The
Fifth Corps. in spite of its fighting on
the second day, had really suffered less
than any other corps except the Sixth.

cided that Puford should go on to
Williamsport and attack, while Kilpat-
rick would execute his original inten-
ton against Stuart. He succeeded in
surprising Stuart, who was expecting
him in quite another direction. That
portion which Fitzpatrick encountered
was driven in some confusion to the
northeast toward Greencastle and Get
tysburg. Fitzpatrick was now in one of
those dangerous entanglementS which
were his delight and in which his genius
showed brightest. From prisoners cap
tured he learned that Hoods whole
division of infantry was marching
straight upon him at a distance of only
a few miles. He had to come to a set
tlement with Stuart in very brief
space of time, therefore, or the crush
ing force of infantry on his flank would
be added TO the cavalry on his front.
Fitzpatrick acted with his usual prompt
ness. He left Richmond's Brigade to
hold Hood in check, and with the other
two rushed off to help Buford destroy
the trains near Williamsport. Gen.
Custer came in on Buford's right, with
in a mile of Williamsport. and tho the
fighting was hot, was steadily driving
the enemy when word came from Col
Richmond that he was being over
