The Battle-Field of Gettysburg
A GRAPHIC AND ACCURATE PICTURE
To the editor of The Press : •
SIR :--I have just returned from a
visit to Gettysburg, and if you choose
to accompany me in a long ramble
over the field and bear what a partici.
pant in the battlo has to say, well and
good. ,In the ,main, "I tell the story
as 'ewes told to me;" but it is hard to
say anything new upon a theme alrea
dy hacknied. You newspaper people
have, I know, what most people have
a horror of—long articles; therefore,
"for fear your readers should grow
skittish," you have. my hill permission•
to abbreviate; expunge or, omit, at
your pleasure: Assuming this artiele,
thou, to bave escaped the fate of your
Waste paper baskot,•start with me on
this fine November morning, out the
Emmcttsburg road. For our compan
ion and guide we bare Captain A. F.
Cavada, a gallant and accomplished
young officer, who served all through,
from:Yorktown tol'etersburg, and for
nearly.tWo years on the stall' of Major:
General Humphreys.
About a mile out we halt. The
Captain loquitur. "Now I begin to
feel at home. Let me take an obser
vation,

under it, with Captains Humphreys
and McClellan, a shell exploded in the
tree, killing three of our poor orderlies
besides striking my horSe." We found
the treeft , ,iteliinna were shattered, and
the top entirely gone,
"About two o'clock the whole Third
Corps moved out in line of battle over
the open ground, and, a more znagnifi
cent spectacle of 'living valor rolling
on the foe' I never, witnessed. Away
over on that bare spot of rising ground
the rebelS had planted two batteries
with which they enfiladed our whole
line, fairly, sweeping it from right to
left. Lord ! how they piteb'ed it into
us! Longstreet's,infantry debouched
from those woods, and in a snort time

to post Colonel Burling's brigade. ,On
my way. back, I passed the 114th Pa.
Regiment, then commanded by my
brother,'ldeut. Colonel F. F. Cavada.
It had just been ordered to an advan

up, and shook hands' with my brother.

A.'worcl,.of criticism here. At ono
period 'of ,the battle, Birney, being
hard pressed, , ,enle'd i ttpon Gen. Sykes,
in command , pf4e sth corps, for as
sistance. Sykes bad boon ordered to
support the 3d if called' tip'on p btit he
returned for answer that ho "would
be up in time—:-that his men were tired
and wore making coffee I" They did
come up in about an hour, and, says
Gonl. Warren, in his testimony, "the
troops under General 'Sykes arrived
barely in time to save Round Top, and
they had a very desperate 'fight to
hold it". And again of the operations
neat day. "When the repulse took
place, Gen. 'Meade intended to move
forward and assault tho enemy in turn.
Ho ordered an advance of the Fifth
Corps, but it was carried on so slowly
that it did not amount to much, if any
thing." Gen. George Sykes is a bravo
man, but entirely "too slow," so at
least General Grant seemed to think,
for in the subsequent reorganization
of the Army of the Potomac, the set%
vices of "Tardy George," No. 2, were
dispensed with. The stb, as a corps,
has a glorious record, and never failed
to fight • Well When properly handled.
To resume the'captain's narrative.
"As the afternoon wore on the pres
sure became greater and greater, un
til at last our whole corps, with the
exception of Carr's brigade and a few
other regiments, was:hurled down the
slope, broken and discomfited, tho reb
els following in hot pursuit. Our loss
es were frightful. In our division, of
5,000 men, our loss was nearly 2,000."
"Well, Captain, you saw most of the
heavy fighting done by this army, tell
me, were you ever in a hotter place
than this ?" "Never but once—and
that reminds me of a little story. ,In
the attack upon the enemy's position
at the . first. Frederieltsburg fight, our
diVision was ordered to storm the
heights. As we were preparing to
move, General Humphreysalways a
very polite man—turned round to his
staff, and in his hlandest, manner re
marked, "Young gentlemen, I intend
to lead this assault, and shall be happy
to have the pleastire"of your company.
Of Coarse, the invitation was too polite
to.be declined. That was the roughest
place I ever was in, and I can't con%
ceive, even to this day, how any of us
got back ; alive." Our division' JoSt

" fa 'course of the day we:paid a visit
to Mr. Sherfey's house, where we were
most hospitablY received. The .house
stands about the centre of the field,
and is riddled,from garret to basement.
Traces of the conflict are to be seen on
every. side; :including the_last 'resting

Sherfey's barn was burnt diming the

In fact, nothing is chnuged, Would
that this could be said of other parts
of the field. Inscriptions upon the

140th New York.. Graduating at the

one of Sheridan's heroes of the Five

Speeking of the bombardment which
proceeded the charge, that experien
ced soldier, General Hancock, says
"It was the most , terrific cannonade I
ever witnessed, and the most prolong.
ed." A•rebel . eye-witness describing it,
says; "I h'ave never yet heard such
tremendous artillery firing. The very
earth shook beneath onr feet, and the
hills and rocks seemed to reel like a
drunken Man. For one hour and a
half tho most terrific firing was con
tinued, during which time the shriek
ing of shells, the crash of.falling tim
ber: the fragments of reek' flying
through the air,' shattered iron' the
cliffs by solid shot; the heavy' , mutter.
ings from the valley between the op
posing armies, the splash of bursting
shrapnel, and the fierce neighing of,
wounded artillery horses; made a pic
ture terribly grand and sublime." After
this came the charge. Our eighty guns,
planted on the'crest, from Cemetery
Hill to Hound Top, "volleyed and
thundered," and, when the infantry
joined in the chorus, so terrible was
the fire that tore through them that
the rebel columns presented the extra
ordinary spectacle of ten thonsand men
playing at "leap frog !" In spite of
every effort, the flower of Leo's voter- .

Hardly a rock or a tree in front of
