m the left.--W. B. Franklin. the Sixth Corps had two divisions in line and one in reserve. It remained in an exposed position during the day, and suffered severely from artillery fire, while the enemy in its front were well covered by woods and rifle-pits. in obedience to his orders Reynolds moved to the attack at 8:30 A. M., with his center division under Meade, which was to be supported by the division of Gibbon on the right and next to the Sixth Corps. The Third division, under Doubleday, was in reserve and guarding Meade's left. it came into action shortly after Meade's advance, to repel a threatened attack from a large force of cavalry which developed between our left and the Massaponax Creek.--W. B. Franklin. Meade crossed the ravine in his front, and directed his course toward a point of woods coming down from the heights. The artillery on the crest was silenced by three batteries, and Meade pushed on, supported on his right by Gibbon, and, after severe fighting, c

w-load of dirt. It was a clear case of premonition, for the man could give no reason for having jumped. General Smith also speaks of the veterans' ridicule of the bounty men. The 24th Michigan became part of our brigade shortly after Antietam, and we were told they were mostly bounty men. [See below.] We made unmerciful sport of them, but never a joke or word of abuse did I hear after the 24th had shown its mettle in the battle of Fredericksburg. On the evening of December 14th, General Doubleday wanted our regiment (the 2d Wisconsin) to go on picket and make an effort to stop the firing upon the picket-line, for the shots of the Confederates covered the whole field, and no one could get any rest. We had not been in the picket-line more than twenty minutes before we made a bargain with the Rebs, and the firing ceased, and neither they nor ourselves pretended to keep under cover. But at daylight the 24th Michigan came to relieve us. Before they were fairly in line they opened

dsworth's division was immediately engaged, except the Sixth Wisconsin, held in reserve by General Doubleday's orders. General Robinson and General Rowley were soon up with their divisions and hotly, judging from his disappointed manner after he was captured. A guard brought him back to General Doubleday, who, in a very cordial manner,--they having been cadets at West Point together,--said: Gontending against vastly superior numbers in its front. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon General Doubleday sent me to General Howard for reenforcements and orders. I found the latter in the cemeter the gate. He looked the picture of despair. On receipt of the message he replied: Tell General Doubleday that I have no reenforcements to send him. I have only one regiment in reserve. I then asurned to me and said: Go to General Buford, give him my compliments, and tell him to go to General Doubleday's support. When asked where General Buford could be found, he replied: I don't know! I t

I instructed him to make the following dispositions of the Eleventh Corps. Learning from General Doubleday, commanding the First Corps, that his right was hard pressed, and receiving continued assuhis time I left my chief-of-staff to execute orders, and went to the First Corps. I found General Doubleday about a quarter of a mile beyond the seminary. His Third Division was drawn up to his fro to the front, and put in position near the Third Division, Eleventh Corps. At 3:45 P. M. Generals Doubleday and Wadsworth besought me for reenforcements. I directed General Schurz, if he could sparif possible, a while longer, for I am expecting General Slocum every moment. At this time General Doubleday's left was turned, and troops of the enemy appeared far outflanking him, and the enemy were also extending beyond my right flank. About 4 P. M. I sent word to General Doubleday that, if he could not hold out longer, he must fall back, fighting, to Cemetery Hill and on the left of the Bal

press of July 6th, 1887, and condensed.--editors. by John Gibbon, Major-General, U. S. V. Soon after all firing had ceased a staff-officer from army headquarters met General Hancock and myself and summoned us both to General Meade's headquarters, where a council was to be held. We at once proceeded there, and soon after our arrival all the corps commanders were assembled in the little front room of the Liester House — Newton, who had been assigned to the command of the First Corps over Doubleday, his senior; Hancock, Second; Birney, Third; Sykes, Fifth; Sedgwick, who had arrived during the day with the Sixth, after a long march from Manchester; Howard, Eleventh; and Slocum, Twelfth, besides General Meade, General Butterfield, chief of staff; Warren, chief of engineers; A. S. Williams, Twelfth Corps, and myself, Second. It will be seen that two corps were doubly represented, the Second by Hancock and myself, and the Twelfth by Slocum and Williams. These twelve were all assembled

as ordered to prepare the way for the assault by cannonade. The necessary arrangements caused delay, and before notice of this could be received by Ewell, Johnson, as we have seen, was attacked, so that the contest was over on the left before that at the center was begun. The hoped — for concert of action in the Confederate attacks was lost from the beginning. On the Federal side Hancock's corps held Cemetery Ridge with Robinson's division, First Corps, on Hays's right in support, and Doubleday's at the Steuart's Brigade renewing the Confederate attack on Culp's Hill, morning of the Third day. The 29th Pennsylvania forming line of battle on Culp's Hill at 10 A. M., July 3. angle between Gibbon and Caldwell. General Newton, having been assigned to the command of the First Corps, vice Reynolds, was now in charge of the ridge held by Caldwell.

e army directly northward, to be undertaken on the 29th and pushed with the utmost vigor till the encounter should take place. This abandonment of the projected movement against Lee's line of communication has been severely criticised by General Doubleday. That writer assumes that it was intelligence of Slocum's enterprise which caused Lee to loose his hold upon the Susquehanna and concentrate his forces at Gettysburg. The wisdom of Hooker's policy in desiring to assail the rebel communications is demonstrated by the fact that Lee immediately turned back. The head of the serpent faced about as soon as its tail was trodden upon. （Doubleday's Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. ) He adds the opinion that if he (Lee) had known that Meade was about to withdraw all the troops acting against his line of retreat, he would probably have gone on and taken Harrisburg. Whatever General Lee might have thought of the projected enterprise under Slocum, had he known of it, he, in fact, kn
