The indifference OF people to quaran
tine regulations is shown by the fact
that the city OF Rutland had to spend
1851 during the month of April for spe'
cial policemen to enforce the regulations
where there were contagious diseases.
OF course, it is necessary to prevent the
mingling of people in instances where
disease is apt to be communicated; and
the hiring of policemen is reasonable
precaution. But that done, there seems
to be another course required; and that

repfy1ng with 10 guns under the direc-

an hour and a half the Federal guns
ceased firing to save ammunition, and
this silence being misconstrued by the
confederate officers, Pickett's division

was one of the most magnificent in
military history. Advancing steadily
in face OF destructive artillery fire,
the Confederates passed through a
terrific fire of canister and an en-
filading cannonade from a battery on
Little Round Top. When within 300
yards of the Federal line they met the
musketry fire of the Federal infantry.
Pettigrew's advance was utterly de-
moralized and Wilcox fell back and
veered to the right. Picketts men
pressed on and in hand to hand con-
fiict carried the first Federal line, but
were son driven back and were finally
forced in rapid retreat. the Federals
pursuing closely. According to some
writer's, twothirds of Picketts imme-

or captured. General Hancock was
badly wounded.
Meanwhile, on the Federal right

gagement. and on the Federal left
