GEN. sLoCUM AT GETTYSBURG.
lie Did Not Wait for Orders to Move to
the Battlefield.

Editor National Tribune: In your ed
itorial upon military career of Gen.
Sickles, of date March 81, / want to
lsecond all you say in regard to Gen.
Sickles, but 1 must protest to that por-
ton of it where you say: Gen. Slocum,
commanding the Twelfth Corps, was
nearer to Gettysburg and Howard than
Gen. Sickles was. and received the same
pressing cry for help. He declined to
move his corps, however, until he re-
ceived orders from Gen. Meade, and did
not arrive on the field until it was too
late for the presence of his corps to
have any important influence upon the
fortunes of the first day"
Now for what l think are the facts
in the matter, basing my ideas upon
personal presence, history and official
reports of the different commanders In
terested.
Firstly, Gen. Howard in his report
Isays: Meanwhile word was sent to
Gen. Sickles. commanding the Third
Corps and Gen. Slocum, commanding
the Twelfth Corps. informing them of
! the situation of affairs" etc. Now, this
word was not sent until some time after
1880 p. m., July /. Judging from other
portions of same report time must have
been nearly 10 o'clock. This same word
or message from Gen. Howard was re-
ceived upon the road between Two Tav-
| tIIS anu ny 4hdJ.
of Slocums staff, who had been sent TO
verify a rumor heard Immediately be-
fore Maj. Guindon was sent by Gen
Slocum. AS a consequence by O'Clock
we were-upon the road. This did not
give much time for Slocum to receive
orders from Gen. Meade, IA to 16 miles
away, did it?
Our division (second). Geary's. ar
rived near Cemetery Hill, where Gen.
Geary reported to Gen. Hancock, and
was by him ordered to the left. AS a
consequence we had formed line of
battle among the rocks near to or at
Little Round Top. quite awhile before
dusk. all this without Gen. Slocum' S
waiting orders from Gen. Meade, as you
say, or from anyone else. Gen. Slo-
cum being credited as being of sound
mind and good judgment, did, as usual,
use it. in this case.
| Now, in fact, the Second Division,
| Twelfth Corps, was nearly at Gettys-
burg before the Third Corps had started
/ from Emmitsburg, they not getting the
word until after 3 o'clock p. m. Then
it is supposed the Third Corps did not
let the grass grow under their feet.
They were not built that way when
work was to be done.
Again, / want to second all you say in
regard to Gen. Sickles. In that line too
much cannot be done. He deserves it
all. f5ut 90, III tne truth VIII verify
these statements, as ii surely must, take
the dishonest smirch, from the memory
of one of the best and noblest of men,
| Maj. Henry w. Slocum.-S. b.

vision. Twelfth Corps. Ypsilanti, Mich.
What Comrade Mereness says seems
! fully borne out by the time of the ar
rival Of the Twelfth Corps on the bat
tlefeld. Yet all the histories say that
l to he
could hear from Gen. Meade. fearing
that he might derange the commanding g
! Generals plans.-Editor National Trib-

ROOSEVELT IN VERMONT
Big Reception Planned for Colonel
at White River junction.

White River Junction, Dec. 20
Unusual plans are being furthered
for a Statewide "get-together" ban
quet in the interest OF Vermont, to be
held in the Gates opera house at
White River Junction during the late
spring, now that Col. Theodore Roose
welt has assured the Windsor County
Young Mems Christian association
committee, who will have the affair
in charge, that he will go to Yer
mont TO speak at this occasion. The
undertaking has been under consider
alton by the committee for many
months, and every effort will now be
made to carry through this unique oo-
casion. Prominent leaders in the life
of Vermont, representative of all the
various interests, colleges, railroads,
churches, schools, societies and
other organizations will be brought
together as it is proposed to seat be-
tween 500 and 600 men.
Tho subject suggested to EXPIRES
ident Roosevelt by the committee
the other day in New York was
Cooperation in country life, as
this will be made the keynote of the
gathering. DR.. Butterfield, president
of the Massachusetts agricultural
college and a prominent member OF
eX-PTesident Rooseyelts country life
commission, has also assured the com
mittee that he would be present and
speak, along with one or two other
prominent country life leaders. 1t is
expected that ex-Gov. Prouty will act
as representative of the various inter
ests in the States as 1t can be made,
even though the number of the invi-
tations will, necessarily, have to be
limited. The plan has the indorse-
ment of many prominent men in Yer
mont, who are already Offering their
cooperation. Ex-President Roosevelt
has assured the committee who went
to New York to meet him and talk
over the plan, that after his western
trip which he purposes to make in
the spring, he will inform the COM
mittee of the exact date of his visit
to the State, agreeing to give at least
six weeks and possibly two months
notice In order that the committee
may have plenty of time to complete
all arrangements. This gathering
will, undoubtedly sound a forward
note for the entire State.
This will be the only visit that
ex-President Roosevelt will make in
Vermont during the year and the first
visit that he has made In nearly 10
years.
