Saddest Roll Call of the Iron Brigade.

Quite a number of veteran soldiers
of the Civil War, residents of Grant
county, including nine from this city.
are encamped this week On the famous
old battlefield at Gettysburg, where the
fiftieth anniversary of the great three
days battle, July 1. 2 and 3, 1868. is
being observed by hundreds of thou
sands of people and an eDcampment
of about 90. 900 survivors of the regi-
ments that participated in the great
fight which was the turning point of
the war
At the end of the first days fight
ing, it will be remembered, the situa-
ton was most favorable to the Con-
fedeIate army. Edgar Allen Forbes.
in the American Magazine, sum-
marizes the result of the first day as
follows:
It is all over now, and Gettsburg
is in the hands Of the southern army.
Here on Cemetery Ridge. with the
shadows of the tombstones lengthen-
ing as the sun goes down, the Iron
Brigade lines up for the saddest roll
call IN its history. Of three of its
regiments that bore the brunt of the
attack, the Twenty fourth Michigan
has ninety seven men left under the
flag of the Nineteenth Indiana stand
only seventy eight and but sixty nine
men of the Second Wisconsin answer
to their names.
These are all that is left-not one
company to regiment.
Here is the beautiful flag that
Detroit gave to the Twenty fourth
Michigan as it left for the front; now
it is so riddled and torn that it is
! unfit for further service and is going
back to the city that gave it. Of the
eight successive color bearers who
carried this flag during the day, seven
lie out yonder in the woods-fouT Uf
them are dead. Twice during the
fight Col Morrow took it in his own
hands; there it was when a ball
struck him down, and he is now a
wounded prisoner. A private grasped
the flag as the Colonel fell, and went
on; then the colors disappeared.
When the captain commanding the
regiment at length found them. the
bearer was lying upon his face still
grasping the flag.
