, were the only prisoners; the rest of the regiment lay there motionless in their positions. The men were either lying down or kneeling—the wounds were dangerous or deadly. But for the protection afforded by the fence I do not believe that a single man of the regiment would have escaped alive. In conversation with Doctor Macgill, of Hagerstown, Md., shortly after the war, he told me that two days after the battle he visited the spot, having had some friends in the Alexandria regiment of Kemper's brigade, and that the fence was literally a thing of shreds and patches. Our captors hurried us off. When we reached a hill in the rear we stopped to rest. My guard said to me: It's all up with you, Johnnie; look there. I turned and gazed on the scene. Long lines of blue were coming like the surging billows of the ocean.

perhaps the most distinguished Confederate officer now living, who was at Gettysburg, has very recently written, that the point where Pickett's Virginians, under Kemper, Garnett and Armistead, in their immortal charge, swept over the rock wall, has been appropriately designated by the government as the high water mark of the rebeew, and Willcox and Perry's Brigades of Anderson's Division the right flank of Pickett. Pickett's Division was called the directing division, and was composed of Kemper's, Garnett's and Armistead's Brigades—Kemper's on the right, Garnett's on the left, supported by Armistead in the rear and centre.
