McGOWAN'S SOUTH CAROLINA BRIG AnE AT GET TYSBURG. Lient.'COl. Joseph . Brown, 14th S. C. V.. in Charleston Weekly Sews. Gen. McGowan and Capt. A. C. Haskell, A. A. G., were both se verely wounded at Cb%ncellors ville, May 3, 1863, and Col. Abner ;errin, of the Fourteenth South Carolina, commanded the Brigade on the Pennsylvania campaign, with Lieut. J. G. Barnwell, of the First, as his A. A. G. The field officers of the several regiments were: Major C. W. McCreary, First ; Major W. M. Haddon, Orr's Rifles ; Col. J. L. Miller, Lient Col. H. C. Davis, and Major E. F. Bookter, Twelfth; Col. B. T. Brockman and Lieut-Col. I. F. Hant, Thirteenth ; and Lieut-Col Joseph N. Brown and Major Ed ward Croft, Fourteenth, and Capt. W. T. Haskell, of the First com manded the Battalion of Sharp shooters. On the 30th day of Jnne, 1863, the armies of Gens. Lee and Meade were in Pennsylvania. The long march from the Rappahan nock had relieved both armies of all their weak and faint-hearted, and none but brave and strong men had marched there to battle. They sent there prepared in their minds for hard fighting, and the make up of the mind has much to do in making the fight- of tbe soldier. The Union soldier had DOW been recalled from Virginia to defend his own soil. On the morning of the 30th day of June A. P. Hill's corps moved from the Cumberland Valley and crossing the mountains to the eastern side, encamped near thei base. Pender's light division of this corps comprised the four brigades of Gen. E. L. Thomas, of Georgia, Gen. James H. Lane, of North Carolina, Gen. A. M. Scales, of North Carolina, and C n Sam uel McGowan, of South Carolina. THE LINE OF BATTLE. On the morning of the first day of July an early conflict appeared imminent. McGowan's brigade Was called to arms. Artillery and * infantry were passing towards -. Gettysiburg, six mjiles distatnt. Artillery tiring opened in front. Maj. Haddon, wit b Orr's regiment, was detached from the brigade for guard duty. The remainder of the brigade, with the field and staff officers already mentioned, moved towards the town. A line of battle was formed, with Gen. Lane's brigade on the right, McGowan's in the centre, and Gen. Scales on the left. The left rested on the Chambersburg turn V- pike. Gen. Thomas's brigade was not in line. Gen. Perrin gave orders to the field and staff, .and then communiested to the rank and file, that they were to move for ward without firing. That they were not to stop under any cir cumstances, but to close in, press the enemy close, and rout it from it position. Thbe firing of artillery increased and that of small ar-ms Fbegan. This continued for several hours, during which time the bri gade approached nearer the scene of action, resting at intervals in the shaded woods. Rumors of 3..sLe and success alternatelv passed along the lines, derived from the wounded and prisoners. Ge.1. Revnolds, conmanding the U. i.n army, had been killed. Gi-t. Archer, o' our artny, had been wounded, ud he, with m 'st of his brigade of Gen. Het b's Di vision, had been captured. But upon the whole the advantage vaq on nur ride, and ny 4 o'clock P M. the Union Army had falkn back to a liue of hastily con striwt K;d btreastWorks of earl Ii. ralde and the like on the nlope fronting and we..t of the Lntberau Semin ary, one fourth of a mile west of the tow n. T his li re was continuediit i by a si.rung stone fence begintains sume two hundred yards south of the Seminary near a brick house, and running southwardly along the crest of Seminary Ridge, and a little further back, or east, than the bregetworks. On the turn pike, and near the 2eminury, the Union artillery was strongly postad, being on our left. As thus presented Gen. Scales on our left had on his left flank all tbis ar tillery and in his front the rail and earthworks above described full of Union soldiers pressed back, but not defeated, and re plenished with fresh troops from the rear. IN FRONT OF M'GOWAN'S BRIGADE were the breastworks defended by the same line continuing south ward. In front of Gen. Lane was the strong stone fence, bebind which was posted a strong line of dismounted cavalry with repeat ing rifles, which outflanked him. The ground from these works and the stone fence presented a grad ually declining slope to the valley westward ; then on a level of about two hundred yards, then a like gradual ascent up to the crest o the ridge, making perhaps half a mile from crest to crest, and pre senting the fairest field and finest front for destruction on an ad vaneinig foe that could well b. conceived. THE AoSAIJT. In, m this position of affairs the brigades of Gens. Scales and Lan should fail to keep pace with Me Gowan's in the assault to be made it would be no disparagment o: their gallant;officers and men. 11 was an impossibility. The centre must be broken. The order to advance was now given. The order to hold fire ui til ordered, press forward an' close in on the enemy was re peated. The Thirteenth Regi ment was on the right, next it the Fourteenth, next Twelfth, an< next tbe First. Passing a burn ing house on our right and cros~ ing a small run, the brigad :ounted the hill beyond an' passed over the crippled line of Gen. Pettigre w's Brigade,which after hours of gallant fighting ad been withdrawn and wer< resting from their toils. In front and in view amid th, grove of trees was the Seminar3 now changed from the halls c learning to a scene of bloodshes and carnage. Beyond was a beauti ful town partly concealed frot view by the shade trees surround ing the seminary. Its 3,000Oinhal itants were a thrifty, industriou and moral people. Crests of ridg in successive ranges stretchei south wardly with the richest va leys between. Beyond and to th south of the town rising still bigl er was Cemetery Heights, so soo to become historic ground. I was but the glance of' the eye fo a moment and then its grandet wrs lost in the tumult of bal tie. -STORM OF silOT AND sHE~LL. The advancing columns nos moved on and encountered th storm of shot and shell from tb batteries on the turnpike frontin Gen. Scales, and pressed on as o dered, without firing until ti line of breastworks in front b came a sheet of fire and smok sending its leaden missiles of deat in the faces of men who had c ten, but never so terribly, m it before. Thbe impenetrable ma ses of artillery and infantryi front and on the flank of Ge: Scales impeded his progress, e filading 4g sweeping his who front lie was wounded ar :,ry field officer of i, brigade, save one, had fallen. Ir like man ner, on our rigbt, Gen. Lane was held in ebeek by the stone wall in his front, and the cavalry on his flank, threatening certain do struction if his advance continued. The valley had nearly been reach ed. The want of support on the right and left exposed the brigade to a raking enfilade fire from both right and left without abate ment in front. STILL FORWARD. Tostop was destruction. To re. treat was disaster. To go forward was 'ordere.' Then Gen. Perrin on borseback dashing through the lines of the brigade; and with his flashing sword in the evening sunshine and his voice above the din of battle, directed and led j.the charge. Three hundred yards yet intervened between the ad vancing column and the breast works in f;rop, .nd the assailing forces with quickened pace push ed forward amid the minnie balls sweeping the earth in front and flank. The dead, the wounded and the dying were falling at every step. Our.firing bad begun in earnest, snd was pouring in on the enemy thick and fast. THE CREST OF THE RIDGE. The enemy in front of the Sem inary were closely massed, and strongly supported at the bnild ing as well as from the rear and on its fianks. The lines from this point curved slightly back on either side near to the crest of the Ridge, and this made the semi nary the salient: or point of at tack, and to break the line and take the breastworks here the brigade threw itself against it with all its fury. Here the op posing forces grappled with each other, one determined to hold its position, and the other determined to take it. The close quarters at which they were now engaged made the losses on both sides heavy. By tbis time the Brigade had attained a point which ex I posed it to a raking fire from the cavalry with repeating rifles be hind the stone fence on our right. Its greatest force was spent on F the Thirteenth and Fourteenth with deadly effect. But they maintained their unbroken front, closing in, and replying in all di rections whence the missiles of destruction came. The ever-solid ITwelfth with unbroken front pressed on and was dealing deadly blows in its front, carrying terror ibefore it. The~ First on our left, Ioutflanked and enfiladed, pressed on in the unequal contest, drawing -closer to the breastworks, ap Sproached firmly and steadily Ialong at equal pace with its comn Brades though confronting such ,fearful odds against it, both in ,front and on the flank. THE FIELD WON. The desired point was at last reached. The brigade carried the Fworks, and the centre was thus broken and the field was ours. Thre whole line then gave way, and the Union soldiers, Pennsyi vanians they were, after making such heroic resistance wereprs ed back, closely followed, with fearful loss. While the contend ing forces were thus grappling at -close quarters at the breastworks, tbc artillery limbered up and was making for the rear. This time ly prudence alone saved it. Thbe stone wall on our right was car. ried, and the whole field was ours. ryIte Thirteenth and Fourteenth rad suffered most from those re peating rifles. The Union col umns wvere broken, pressed hack at first rapidly and disorderly, with our men close on thbem, still epouring into their ranks a deadly fire. As they nieared the town they became more mnassed, and - moved r,me ,.lowj) ani ..t bborn ly, witbh lies still brokem.. As - they were entering tbe town they ,looked backwards, as if hal. minded to turn on the pursuin~ .foe and renew the conflict. But tdoubtless their movements were - obstructed by the crowded streeti nin their front. Gen. Abner Double. . day, who commanded the Uniot - forces in his official report of thei le battle says: * * * * 'I re id rnne at the Seminary snnerin tending the final movement until < thousands of bostile bayonets t made their appearauce around the I sides of the building. I then rode back and rejoined my command, t nearly all of whom were filing through the town. As we passed I through the streets our frightened people gave us food and drink.' 1 ON TO THE TOWN. The Union forces had been press. ed out of their brcastworks, and our weary soldiers bad entered them, and passed on to the town. The Fourteenth passed on both sides of the Seminary, Col. Croft, with a portion, passing to the right, and pushing forward for the possession of a disabled piece of artillery. Others were pushing for the same point, Major Croft probably reached it first, as he with ~ an eye for the immediately useful secured the only uninjured horse, which he mounted with the harness still on, presented a cap tured sworq to his lieutenant-col onel, and soon afterwards loaned 1 the horse to the gallant Cap,. T. P. Alston, of the First, to ride in to town in command of the skir mishers. The brigade had now reached the town, which Gen. Perrin or dered the First and Fourteenth to enter. This they did simulta neously with flags unfurled, the First by the Chambersburg turn pike, and the Fourteenth passing to the left, or rather directly along and between North Boundary street and the old railroad em bankment or bed, until it reached the Main street running south through the town, and marching up that street was passed by Gen. Pender, at the shade trees on the right, who extended a compli ment in passing. A few paces further on Major McCreary with the First bad reached the same street by the Chambersburg turn. pike where Gen. Ponder compli mented the regiment for its gal lant conduct. In like manner he complimented each regiment through its commander for its glorious day's work. The Four teonth having the shortest cut reached the Main street first, but Major McCreary reached it further on and first held the more central or advanced position, where the Fourteenth again joined it. The streets and fencing look now as they did then. Only a hedge has been allowed to grow up and spread on the north side of Boun dary street by which the Four teenth passed into towr'. Gen. Rhode's Division of Gen. Ewell's Corps now coming up. the Firsat and Fourteenthb were ordered back and joined the Twelfth and Thirteenth between the town and Seminary, where we rested.. GEN. LEE AND THE CAROLINIANS. Gen. Pender was at the Ridge where we first entered the battle and saw the close fighting through out. He saw the Brigade as it appeared from this point to almost mingle with the Union soldiers, and passing the Seminary and the Ridge almost together, and out of sight and the firing ceasing, he supposed that the Brigade was captured. Riding forward, how ever, he met Lieut. Simmons, of the Twelfth, who was wounded, and of whom he made the inquiry if' the Brigade was captured, to which.-the Lieutenant answered, 'No it is over the hill yonder.' (The large body of the enemy known to be there well justified his fears.) The General then rode forward with speed, and ordered the Twelfth and Thirteenth back to a point between the town and Seminary to protect the right flank, and then into town where he overtook the Fourteenth and Figst, as above stated. Gen. Lee then came up, and all honor was then given to -the South Carolina brigade that 'captured Gen-y.s Iburg.' .THE LOSSES. The points of greatest danger were held by the regiments on the right and left, the Thirteenth on the right and the First on the left. The Thirteenth was nearest the cava#y with repeating rifles at the stone fence, and lost more in killed than any other, Col. -RB.o.kman, although too sick for luty, was at his post, but the n novements for that reason were o; arge!y conducted by Lieut-Col. 1. ti . Hunt. It added to the regi- Ic nent's already high reputation w Lcquired under its former gal n ant commander, Col. O. E. Ed. al wards, wbo fell commanding the ni >rigade, after the wounding of a Yen. McGowan at Chancellors ille. Ia The First, being on the left, had re o encounter a long line of infan ry overhliping its left, and was , iearest the artillery. m The centre, comprising the rwe!fth and Fourteenth, was b wept by the same enfilading fire fc ,bat enfiladed our flanking regi- e nents, and the losses in men were iearly equal in all the regiments tt n proportion to the numbers en raged. The Twelfth sustained ieavy loss from the artillery fire lirected towards the centre. di It would seem impossible for l ny of the regiments to have sus- j ainod more than it had to meet r to have borne more than it iad to encounter. There would iave been enough glory in any ne of them to have carried its )wD front. All of them had more. ,ban this to do. NO ESCAPE FOR THE WOUNDED. The losses were immense. The t( ourtcenth, which was the largest -egiment, lost over 200 in killed C id wounded out of 475 carried t( uto action. The Thirteenth had fe iixty-four killed or to-die of their ir vounds. . All the regiments lost a >ver one-third. There was no loss sl )f prisoners. They were all killed >r wounded. Over six hundred c bad fallen in front of those breast sl works. The .thousands of hostile a bayonets that appeared and passed si around the sides of the Seminary c+ building comprised what remained z :f fifteen hundred carried into ac- o Lion. The nature of the ground o was such and the contest so brief r that the wounded could not be moved, and were wounded twice, o thrice and as many as four times, a after being first stricken down. Large numbers died of their n wounds. A few who with shattered arms or wounded bodies ran back in safety to the surgeons, have not ceased to ad mire their legs for the good ser vice rendered: It was the only 0 battlefield in which all avenues ofI escape for our wounded were closed. There was nothing thatd the ambulance corps could do. The ground was swept at every point by the deadly minnie balls. The artillery fire is terrible, buta the almost silent whirl of the minnie ball is the death-dealing missile in battle. Not a foot of ground presented a place of safety. The Union troops Ered low, and their balls swept close to the ground in the dishlike field in teir front. The terrible strife wasorer in a fe w minntes-fifteen, say twenty at most. Men never fll faster in this brigade, and perhaps never equalled, except in Orr's regiment at Gaines's Mill. On our side the firing was not slack nor wild. The trees in the Seminary grounds where the Union lines ran are still thickly covered with scars, from the ground to the height of a man, made with the bullets of our un erring grifles. They are well marked on their western sides. And the ground strewn with their dead and wounded well attested the accura-cy of the deadly aim. THE GALLANT ENEMY. It was no ordinary soldier that we had met. The prisoners cap tred were more intelligent than on other fields. They were most ly Pennsylvanians fighting for everything they held dear. The celebrated Iron Brigade was in our front. Tbe 121st Pennsylvania 143d Pennsylvania, 149th Penn sylvaniia, 151st Pennsylvania, and others not remembered. Maine trops were there, who stated that they came in not more than fifteen minutes before the action began. Then the artillery on our right, cavalry behind the stone wall, all holding to the death. But there was no crossing of swords and bayonets, for this is seldom done except on paper. It was no time for a thousand hair breadth escapes with nobody irt. It was not the clipping off col clothing, but the bodies of men clo tat were struck. While the sses in line officers and men ere great it was remarkable that we )t a single field officer was dis- im fled for duty though they did thi )t escape'unst.ruck. of CIDENTS OF PERSONAL DARING. ing The Rev.

But it was not lost ght of nor forgotten by the gr reat Lee.

Clyburn (afterwards Col. hr nel,) who with two companies tb f the T welfth drove back a line tb f battle and restored our pickets a ho had been driven from their la osts. Our line passed by a farm. tb ouse surrounded by a fine orchard, pm d owned by a gentleman named tl fcMillan, who canned his fruit, st md who abandoned all on the ty orning of the 1st.

The jhi ld gentleman and his wife still w ve, and although nineteen years b~ ave passed he still laments the ss of his earthly store. Every uilding and tree now looks as it lid then, and the same well of~ ater again quenched the way-I arer's thirst.
