The Army OF the Potomac Offers Battle.
On the morning of Oct. 15, Meade
had his whole army concentrated on
the nights of Centerville behind Bull
Run except the trains guarded by Bu-
ford, which were toiling along the road
to Brentsyille and, for a while. in much
danger from a swoop by Stuarts Cav
airy. which would certainly have been
their lot had the latter been aware of
the exposed condition of the wagons.
The position wh-ch Meade took. UP
was a strong one, with his right on
Chantilly, his center at Centerville, and
his left behind Blackburn's Ford, and
there he awaited, with great confidence,
any further advance of Lees army. The
Confederate commander. however, had
no desire for fight where the Army
of the Potomac had concentrated in a
country SO open that he could gain no
advantage from manuvering.
He had to be satisfied with having
forced his adversaries back 60 miles.
and he set his men to complete the de-
struction of the much-suffering Orange
& Alexandria Railroad. which had
been begun by Meade. The latter had
set the bridges on fire. while the Con-
federates completed the work by burn
ing the tires, twisting the rails. and de-
stroying the water-tanks. While this
was being done, and while Meade YVES
still perfecting his line of battle, Lee
began his retreat, concealing the move
ment by vigorous demonstrations by
his cavalry. Washington was greatly
alarmed. but for once Halleck retained
his equipoise, and insisted upon Meade's
immediate advance to attack Lee.

The Goth Me.

Editor National Tribune. In your ac-
count OF the battle of Gettysburg 1 did
not see any mention of the goth Me. in
Col. Fox's list of those regiments which
lost most heavily. If I am not mis-
taken, the 20thzMe. lost 4S killed near
Little Round Top. Please give brief
history of that regiment.-E. B. Foy,

The Goth Me-. altho one of the 800

that lost the most heavily at Gettys-
burg. II was organized at Portland
Aug. 20, 1862, and finally mustered out
July 16. 1855. The enlisted men of the
18th Me. and the 1st Me. Sharpshooters
were transferred to this regiment dur
ing June. 1865. 1t was commanded by
Coils. Adelbert Ames. Joshua L. Cham
berlain, Chas.- d. Gilmore and Ellis
Spear in succession. The goth Me- was
particularly fortunate in its command
ers, all being specially fine men. Ames
became the leading figure at Fort FISH
er. and altho he left the regiment in a
few months proved his superior ability
before doing so. Chamberlain, who gave
UP his chair at Bowdoin College to ten
der his services to the State, made
brilliant reputation as Colonel and Gen.
eral, and it is said that he never left
wounded man in the hands of the enc
my nor one of his dead without burial.
He and his men did much to save the
day at Gettysburg by their prompt and
plucky action at Little Round Top
Their repuIse of the enemy on the ex-
treme left is a conspicuous feature of
that battle. The goth lost at Gettys-
burg 29 killed and 96 wounded. At the
Wilderness 1t was hotly engaged, its
casualties being 13 killed. so wounded
and 16 missing. 1t belonged to GrifIin's
Division, Fifth Corps, and lost 147 killed
and 146 from disease, etc Its total of
killed and wounded was 52S, and Is of
