was held. --Future history will perhaps lift the veil from this consultation, and do justice to all who participated in it. For the present I will merely mention that it was the purpose of Lieut Gen. Longstreet to have passed around the heights occupied by the enemy's left wing, and to have made a hold effort to carry it by reverse attack.

Lee gave orders that the enemy should be attacked on our front, in their entrenched position on Cemetery heights. The column of attack consisted of Kemper's, Garnett's and Armistead's brigades, (all Virginians,) of Pickett's division, (Horse's brigade was not in the Pennsylvania campaign,) the division of Major Gen. Heth, which consisted of Davis's Miss., Archer's Tenn., Brockenbrough's Va., and Pettigrew's N. C. brigades, and Lone and Scales's brigades, of Pender's old division, now Wilcox's.
