In the experience of President Lin

years ago, we're heavily laden with
anxiety. Ia November Of the former
year, 1862, Mcclellan was superseded
by Burnside who, within thirty days
got the worst OF it at Fredericksb burg.
A few days afterward, In January,
Hooker was put in command. He
organized the forces, led them at

venture an invaslon; Meade was sc.

was less than q week before the clash
at Getty sburg. 1t had not been
planned, on the federal side at least,
that the battle should be pitched there;
Meade did not appear IN the scene
until midnight of the first days fight

the third OF July, Lees disheartened
forces silently moved away. In sum.

were engaged; the Confederate forces
were nearly the same In number. The
grim record was twenty-three thous.
