nd Colonel Collcote. Pandemonium. The first shot or two flew harmlessly over our heads; but soon they began to get the range, and then came—well, what General Gibbon, on the other side, called pandemonium. First there was an explosion in the top of our friendly tree, sending a shower of limbs upon us. In a second there waould have been some consolation to know, as we afterwards learned, that our blue-coated friends over the way were in the same, if not in a worse predicament. General Gibbon who with Hancock's Corps held the position we were about to storm says of the execution done by our batteries that it exceeded anything he had dreamed of in athe rear, and Pickett, with Stuart Symington, Ned Baird, and others, vainly trying to stop the rout. And now the guns of Cushing and Abbott double-stocked by General Gibbon's express order, reinforced the terrific fire of the infantry behind the stone fence, literally riddling the orchard on the left of the now famous Cordori hou

ally over, he rode to Farmville, and reported to General Meade, who advised him to return to Appomattox and be paroled. This he did and became the guest of General John Gibbon of the United States Army, under whom he had been at West Point, and whose family he knew well. In his Personal Reminiscences of Appomattox, General GibbonGeneral Gibbon says: That night Fitz, lying on the floor, slept as soundly as a child after, he said, having had no sleep for a week. Nothing could dampen his high spirits. With grim humor, he took from his pocket a $5 Confederate note and writing across its face, For Mrs. Gibbon, with the compliments of Fitz Lee, he said: Send that to Mrs. Gibbon, with the compliments of Fitz Lee, he said: Send that to your wife and tell her it's the last cent I have in the world. His was no hard, ascetic temper, which substituted harshness for courage, and reserve for wisdom, but a light and buoyant spirit, a warm and merry heart that spread sunshine all around. Mr. President, you will believe, I know, when I express my sincerest regret t

ls made several desperate attempts to retake this line, but without success; it remained in the national hands. The loss in these two corps was fifty-two killed, eight hundred and twenty-four wounded, and two hundred and seven missing; that of the rebels was probably greater, as they were repelled in several severe assaults. Ord as well as Meade was at Grant's headquarters, discussing the preparations for the 29th, when the report of the first assault arrived; and Grant at once notified Gibbon, who had been left in command of the army of the James. This, he said, may be a signal for leaving. Be ready to take advantage of it. To Meade, after the results of the day were known, he telegraphed: Your last dispatch reflects great credit on the army for the promptness with which it became the attacking force after repelling an unexpected assault. The next day he recommended that Parke and Humphreys should be announced in orders as commanders of their respective corps, a military compl

Amid all the crowding interesengaged, so that the movement it directed was not made. At the same time Grant said to Ord: Send Gibbon with his two divisions to Farmville to hold that crossing. The Sixth corps is also ordered . . idan held fast to what he had gained, and at 9.20 P. M. sent information back to Grant. If General Gibbon and the Fifth corps can get up to-night, he said, we will perhaps finish the job in the morn. I do not think Lee means to surrender until compelled to do so. He also sent word to Ord and Gibbon and Griffin that if they pressed on there would be no possibility of escape for Lee. Early onected Crook to fall back slowly, and sacrifice no more men in trying to check this heavy force. Gibbon, Griffin, and a division of colored troops were ensconced in the woods, waiting for orders to ad
