ne walls, which afforded every advantage to the defensive. The musketry fire on both sides was severe; but our men steadily gained ground; Caldwell's and Meagher's (Irish) brigade vieing with each other in steadiness and gallantry. Here Col. Francis C. Barlow, of Caldwell's brigade, signalized himself by seizing an opportunity to advance the 61st and 64th New York on the left, and take in flank a Rebel force, which, sheltered by a sunken road, was attempting to enfilade our line, capturing oveennsylvania facing to the left and meeting their charge by a countercharge, which was entirely successful. Some prisoners and the colors of the 4th North Carolina remained in our hands. The enemy next assailed the right of this division; but Col. Barlow, again advancing his two New York regiments, aided by Kimball's brigade on the right, easily repulsed it. Next, a charge was made directly on Richardson's front, which was defeated as before, and our line still farther advanced as far as Dr. P

d, however, on some road a little farther off, Sickles, at 1 P. M., directed Birney to charge the passing column; and he did so; bridging with rails a petty creek in his front, passing over his division and two batteries, and striking the rear of the Rebel column with such force that he captured and brought off 500 prisoners. Sunset found him thus far advanced, holding the road over which the Rebels were originally marching; his division formed in square, with his artillery in the center; Barlow's brigade of the 5th corps, which had advanced to support his right, being up with him; but Whipple's division of the 3d and one of the 12th corps, which were to have covered his left, being invisibly distant. Soon, panic-stricken fugitives from the 11th, now almost directly in Birney's rear, brought tidings of a great disaster. The Rebel movement to our right, along our front — which had been either culpably disregarded by Howard, or interpreted as a retreat of the Rebel army on Richmon

d when sent on that same errand. Meade states our losses in this series of battles around Gettysburg at 2,834 killed, 13,709 wounded, and 6,643 missing (mainly taken prisoners on the 1st): total, 23,186. Among our killed, not already mentioned, were Brig.-Gens. S. H. Weed, N. Y., and E. J. Farnsworth, Mich.; Cols. Vincent and Willard (commanding brigades), Cross, 5th N. H., O'Rorke, 140th N. Y., Revere, 20th Mass., and Taylor, Pa. Bucktails. Among our wounded were Brig.-Gens. Gibbon, Barlow, Stannard, Webb, and Paul. He only claims 3 guns as captured this side of the Potomac, with 41 flags and 13,621 prisoners--many of them wounded, of course. He adds that 24,978 small arms were collected on the field; but part of them may have been previously our own. Lee gives no return of his losses; but they were probably not materially greater nor less than ours Pollard rather candidly says: On our side, Pickett's division had been engaged in the hottest work of the day, and the

t Hancock, with his division Generals, Birney, Barlow, and Gibbon, struck heavily on their right, anon, and charges on his rifle-pits were made by Barlow's and by Gibbon's divisions, in front of the 2ed to turn the enemy's left flank, but failed; Barlow's division, which had advanced across the Po, which, Hancock sternly advanced, in two lines; Barlow's and Birney's divisions forming the first; Gily wooded intervening space — some 1,200 yards-Barlow's and Birney's divisions dashed, with a thundet being delivered on the 18th, by Gibbon's and Barlow's divisions, supported by Birney's and Tyler'sepulsed with terrible slaughter. On our left, Barlow's division of Hancock's corps gained a transitelming force, retaking their defenses, hurling Barlow back, but not to the lines from which he start could not dislodge him. Gibbon,charging on Barlow's right, was checked by a swamp, which separatrney gained some advantage, taking 4 guns; but Barlow's assault was delivered by a single brigade, a[4 more...]

umed, when the van of our 2d corps (Humphreys's)--which had now taken the lead — rushed up and saved that on the wagon-road. The rail-road bridge was destroyed. Barlow's division was soon over the river, expecting a fight, as the enemy threatened it; but there was only a rearguard left, and they soon retired; blowing up a bridgeng column could only advance at a heavy cost. Humphreys attempted to turn the enemy's flank, but found this impracticable with his single corps; when, sending up Barlow in front, and extending his right, he ordered Miles to attack on this wing; which he did, and was repulsed with a loss of over 600 killed and wounded. Brig.-Gen. Smyth and Maj. Mills were among our killed; Maj.-Gen. Mott, Brig.-Gens. Madill and McDougall, and Col. Starbird, 19th Maine, were severely wounded. When Barlow had got into position, it was too late to assault again that night; and, when darkness had shrouded his movements, Lee silently resumed his retreat, first sending this res
