and heroic war history made on that
famous and bloody battlefield. These

Pickett's Famous Charge.

The day preceding, Pickett's divi-
sion had made long and toilsome
march; at 3 o'clock they moved for
ward to the field Of battle, and were
in position very early in the morning
of that eventful day. During a con-
siderable portion of the forenoon the
division was exposed to the burning
rays of July sun, and the terrible
Smelling of the enemies batteries.
Thus very much exhausted ty intense
| heat, and seriously crippled by the
enemy's fire. about a. m. they were
ordered to charge the heights. An
eye witness testifies that they formed
into line of battle as cody and delib-
erately as If forming for dress parade.
Headed by their gallant officers, the
column by Gen. Pickett himself. they
moved forward to the charge across
plain some 500 yards in width. sub
jected to the action of guns sweeping
| like hurricane of death all over the
field The noble and gallant Pickett
commanding, they pressed up to the
ugly ramparts of the enemy. 1t is be-
! Iieyed that more gallant or heroic
charge was never made on this contl-
nent. Pickett's division has been in
the hardest fighting Of this bloody
war It has borne itself well AMI
nobly everywhere. But the crown
ing glory of these patriotic heroes was
achieved in the assault upon the
iron-clad crest OF Gettysburg The
lists of casualties tell in terms of
truer eloquence the bravery and pa
triotfsm Of that blood-stained and war
honored division. than can any figures
of rhetoric or poetry, Every briga-
der fell and long catalogue of col
onels and others officers. The dfvi-
| sion went in from five TO six thousand
I strong; three days after the battle but
| fifteen hundred reported for duty.
+, Well done, noble heroes, officers and
men, your country will cherish the
memory of your deeds and suffering
with a gratitude and affection which
time can never obliteratel Major Gen
eral Pickett has well earned, and win
no doubt receive the need of his coun-

parage any officer or division, it is in
deed high honor to have belonged to
Pickett's division and to have fought

me Great Charge.

After telling of the two-hour siege
she pictured the beginning of the
charge She followed them at every
point. The steady advance under the
whitening shelling of the Federal bat
teries was admired by friend and foe.
AS they came right under the enemy's
guns there was given to the world the
grandest exhibition OF discipline, en-
durance and GOODNESS, scene that will
ever make the charge page of glory
in American martial history. The
plowed ranks were halted and again
formed in line. The Union army was
held in awe by this display Of south
ern yalor.' Over the walls Of the
Federals in pools of blood their com
rade's blood and where was the prom
