FITZHU6H LEE'S STORY OF THE FATE | FUL FJELD. Condensed from ?tn Account in Fitshuyh Lcc'sLi/c Jtobci t a*. Lee, The discussion of the battle of Get? tysburg is more general to-day, not only throughout the country, but throughout the world, than it was thirty years ago. when it was yet fresh in tin' minds of all the living, and its fearful sacrifices and heroic achieve? ment:* nil both sides were as living pictures in view of the nation. It is now undisputed that it was the decis? ive battle of the war. When Lec formed his lines mi Seminary nidge he presented the largest Confederate army that ever appeared on any battle? field during the entire war. Never before had Lec commanded so many men and never thereafter was lie able to approach the number who obeyed Iiis orders on that fateful held. how the battle ii eg an. It is known that both Gen. Mcade and Gen. Lec were moving toward each other when their advance forces met at Gettysburg, without either knowing the particular direction of the other, and both armies were moved in such positions as to be able to con? centrate readily at different points. What was supposed at first to be a mere skirmish at Gettysburg on the first day of July was precipitated by Gen. Ilcth. who got permission to move into Gettysburg for the purpose ? if supplying his men with shoes. That movement was met by the ad? vance of Reynold's corps that was making a reconuoissancc in force, and the conflict began without either side supposing that a great battle was to he fought. Early in the afternoon Hill's whole corps was on the ground in action, and Howard's corps had come to the support of Reynolds, who had fallen early in the battle. Thus what opened as a skirmish precipita? ted fully 50.U?0 men, in the harvest of death within a very few hours, and the. Union army was defeated with the I loss of four or five thousand prisoners and driven in confusion on Cemetery Hill. the secox7) day's fight. On the second day instead of a sim? ultaneous attack upon the Union lines, as Gen. Lee's plans contemplated, and as he had verbally ordered, no attack was made until late in the afternoon, thus enabling Mcade to largely increase his force and strength? en his position, and when the attack was made it was a desperate and bloody effort to gain Little Hound Top and Gulp's Hill, both of which could have been taken unopposed any time during the day before. Lee's entire plan of battle had miscarried, and his biographer sets forth at every stage of failure how the responsibility was upon the tardiness of Gen. Longstrcct. He did not attack in the morning at daylight, as he should have done, be? cause Pickett's division was not yet there, and thus nearly the entire day was lost, during every hour of which the strength of the Union position was greatly increased by breastworks and the numbers of the army multiplied. On the evening of the second day it was evident to Lee that the position of the Federal army was too strong to be broken on either of its flanks, as he had sacrificed many of his soldiers in vain efforts to get possession of Gulp's Hill and Koutid Top. He was thus reduced to the necessity of adopting one of three courses, viz : To make an assault upon Gen. Mcadc's left centre, at the point where it was nearest to Dec's lines ; to make a flank move? ment around Mcadc's left and thus attempt to force him out of his posi? tion, or to retreat. Gen. Lec doubt? less well considered all of these sug? gestions. He had discussed the question of attempting a flank move? ment with Gen. Longstrcct, who strongly urged it. but it did not meet with Lee's approval, and after fully considering the matter he expressed the belief that with proper concerted action an assault could be made suc? cessfully, and his orders were given accordingly. Gen. Piekctt's division had arrived on the field in the after? noon of the second day and had not yet participated in any of the battles, and as Longstrcct's corps was now complete, with more fresh men in it than any other, he was charged with the duty of assaulting the Union lines early in the morning. pickett's awful charge. We cannot better convey to the reader the story of l'ickett s luckless assault than to quote copiously from Gen. L'itzhugh Lee's story as it comes from his own pen : "Gen. Longstrcct's dispositions were not completed as early as was expect? ed," continues Lec, '"and before he could notify Kwell the enemy attacked ?Johnson, was repulsed, and Johnson, thinking the fighting was going on elsewhere, attacked in his turn and forced the Union troops to abandon part id' their in trenchments, but "after a gallant ami prolonged struggle" was not aide to carry the strongly fortified crest of the hill. "The projected at? tack on the enemy's left not having been made." Lec states, "he was unable to hold his right with a force largely superior to that of Gen. .John? son, and finally to threaten his flank and rear, and rendering it necessary for him to retire to his original posi? tion about 1 i>. in." The delay to attack on the right was but a repeti? tion id' the preceding day's tactics. It was impossible to move from differ? ent Hanks a slow officer ami a prompt on<: "at llu! same time." Longstrcct was delayed, Gen. Lee's report tolls us. by a force occupying the high, rocky hill- mi tin- enemy's extreme left from which hi< troops could be attacked in reverse as they advanced, and he deemed it necessary to defend his flank and rear with the divisions of II.1 and McLaws. "'lie was therefore reinforced by Hcth's division and two brigades of I'ender's (Hill's corps') to the command of wlrch Major Gen. Trimble was assigned, a id Gmi. Hill was ordered to afford Gen. Long street further assistance if requested, and avail himself of any success that might be gained. TilK ''"! I' N i'olt.MKp. The assaulting column was at last foriin d.

I oi j. t;' - b !'l. and two. !, lie's oid Scalcs's, about twenty-five hundred men of Fender's division, under Trim hie, in a second line, while Wilcox's was to march on the extreme right to protect their flank. Thirteen thous? and five hundred, or at most fourteen thousand troops, had been massed to attack an army, but with no more hope of success than had the Spartans at Thermopylae, the English cavalry at Balaklava or the Old Guard of the French at Waterloo. I'iekett's division funned at 10.30 a. m.. in line nearly parallel and in rear of the rise upon which runs the Kmmittsburg road, but rather diago? nally to the Union position at the con? templated point of attack. Kemper*s right was one thousand eight hundred and sixty yards distant from it. while l'ettigrew prolonged the line somewhat en echelon, i'iekett's first formation was in one line, Armistead, Garnctt and Kemper from left to right. Gar nett's troops were twenty yards only in rear of Wilcox's brigade of Ander? son's division, which had been sent out to the front between daylight and sunrise to protect guns then being put in position by Col. K. l\ Alexan? der, of the artillery. Wilcox states that the four brigade commanders were together nearly all the time before tin artillery opened "in the yard near the Spangler House," and that there was no officer present in that open field at any time higher in rank than a brigade general, which differs with an account by the right corps commander, who has said that Lee rode with him "twice over the line to see that every? thing was arranged according to his wishes and that there was no room for a misconstruction of his orders.'" Lee's object was to cut the Federal army at its left centre as Maryborough split that of Ycndomc in the same month one hundred and fifty-five years before, thinking, perhaps, its right wing could be destroyed first or driven so far out of the way that he could turn in whole or part against the left wing before it could disentangle itself from the rocks and woods of the Hound Top. testimony of lee's staff officers. It is fortunate three of Gen. Lee's trusted staff officers?Taylor, Yenable and Long?have recorded that the plan of assault involved an attack by Longstrcet's whole cotps, supported by one half of Hill's, or,all of it if he called for it, or upon the bright shield of the Southern chieftain there might have been a lasting blot. Taylor, the adjutant general of the army, says it was originally intended to make the attack with Hood and McLaws, re enforced by Pickctt, and it was only because of the apprehension of Gen. Longstrcet that his corps was not strong enough that Gen. Hill was called on to support him, and Hill, in an official report, states that his troops were sent to Longstrcet "as a support to his corps." Lee ''rode along a por? tion of the line held by A. I'. Mill's corps and finally took a position about the Confederate centre on an elevated point, irom which he could survey the field and watch the result of the movement." Long says the order for the assault by the whole corps was given verbally by Gen. Lee in his presence and that of Major Yenable and other officers of the army. Yena ble states that he heard the orders given to support I'iekett's attack by .McLaws and Hood, and that when he called Gcu. Lee's attention to it after? ward he said : '"I know it, I know it." A consummate master of war such as Lee was would not drive en masse a column of fourteen thousand men across an open terrene thirteen or fourteen hundred yards, nearly every foot of it under a concentrated and converging fire of artillery, to attack I an army on fortified heights of one j hundred thousand, less its two days' j losses, and give his catering wedge no support. Why, if every man in that j assault had been bullet-proof, and if the whole of those fourteen thousand plendid troops had arrived unharmed on Cemetery Kidge, what could have ' been accomplished ? Not being able to kill them there would have been time for the Federals to have seized, tied and taken them off in wagons before their supports could have reached them. Amid the fire and smoke of this false move these troops did not know "some one had blundered," but had a right to feel that the movement had been well considered and ordered because it had elements of success But there was no chance to write vic? tory upon their fluttering flags. The pages of history which record the magnificent exhibition of human cour? age drip with the useless sacrifice of blood. i.<vostreet's reluctance to obey Longstrcet was disappointed when In received the order to make this attack and wanted to move to the Federal left, but Lcc knew his rela? tions with Meade had been too inti? mate during the last two days and the relative hosts too close for such tarti cal fully. His right corps chief says he took Pickett, who was to command the charge, to the crest of Seminary Kidge, pointed out the direction to he taken and the point to be assaulted ; that he "could vee the desperate and hopeless nature of the charge and the cruel slaughter it would cause," and that his "heart was heavy" when lie left I'ckett; that his objections to I'iekett's battle had been overruled, ami that the day was one of the sad? dest, of bis life, for he foresaw what his men would meet and would gladly have given up his position rather than share in the responsibilities of that da}*. Lee, au coutraire, was impati? ently waiting to see Longstrect's corps and one-hall'of Hill's, or. if nece -ry. all of it. break, with the force ol he tempest which strands navies, through I the hostile lines, if the testimony of his staff officers is worthy of credence. I The details of the attack were prop? erly left to the oflicerwho was to make it. Lee did not care, whether Hood and McLaws. attacked, reinforced by Pickctt and Hill's troops, as at first intended, or whether I'iekett led and the remainder followed; but lic.want c d thf muskets numerous enough to plant the victory up.mi his standards.

(ien. fJarnett, just mit <?f the sick ambulance, and buttoned up in an old blue overcoat, riding at the head of his brigade passed just then, and saluted Longstrcct. Alexander had served with him on the plains before the war. and they "wished each other luck and a good-bye"?a last farewell for Garnett. Alexander fol? lowed I'iekett with eighteen of his guns which had most ammunition, whose fire was very effective against Standard's Vermont troops. The small thunderbolt had been discharg? ed, and the red-erested wave of assault rolled forward, destined to break into fragments on the murderous rocks athwart its path. INTO THE jaws OK DEATH. Screaming shells broke in front, rear, on both sides, and among them : but the devoted band, with their ob? jective point steadily in view, kept stept to their music. The space be? tween them and the Federal lines grew rapidly less, and soon they were in the "mouth of hell," within range of the well protected infantry, and then there came a storm of bullets on every side, before which men dropped in their ranks as ripe fruit from a shaken tree. Still they closed the gaps and pressed forward, though canister was now raining on Hanks and front with a terribly destructive fire. Brave men along the Union line could scarcely refrain from cheering at the perfect order and splendid courage exhibited by the Southern soldiers as they stag? gered on amid death and destruction, like a great pugilist whose fast falling strength denotes the loss of the con? test, but resolves to stand in front of his antagonist to the last. What was left of the right of the assaulting troops struck the portion of the Fed? eral lines held by Webb's brigade, 2d corps, and frmn the stone wall drove two Pennsylvania regiments, captur? ing the three guns in charge of Lieut. A. II. Gushing, and mortally wound? ing this brave young officer, who had been fighting for an 'hour and a half after being wounded in both thighs by the cannonade. "They moved up splendidly," wrote a Northern officer, '"deploying as they crossed the long sloping interval. The front of the column was scarcely up the slope and withiu a few yards of ihe 2d corps' front and its batteries, when suddenly a terrific fire from every available gun on Cemetery Kidgc burst upon them. Their graceful lines underwent an instantaneous transfor? mation in a dense cloud of smoke and dust?arms, heads, blankets, guns and knapsacks were tossed in the air and the moan of the battlefield was heard amid the storm of battle." Sheets of missiles flew through what seemed a moving mass of smoke; human valor was powerless, and the death-dealing guns were everywhere throwing blaz? ing projectiles in their faces. No troops could advance and live. The fiery onslaught was repulsed as I'ick ett's division had been, and then the survivors of both came back to their former positions, but not one-half of the fourteen thousand. The famous charge was over. THE BATTLE was ENDED. "This has been a sad day to us," said Lee, "but we cannot always ex? pect to win victories." It was a sad ?lay for the South, for at that time it was "within a stone's throw of peace. Kate was against Lee. The high wa? ter mark if Southern independence had been reached and from that hour it began to ebb from the mountains of Pennsylvania until lost in the hills of Appomattox. ''It is all my fault," Lee exclaimed, and proceeded in per? son to rally and reform his shattered troops. Three Followers. The wily old Hassan sat in his door when three young men passed eagerly by. "Are ye following after anyone, my sons V" he said. "I follow after Pleasure," said the eldest. '"And I after Riches." said the sec? ond. ''Pleasure is only to be found with riches."' "And you, my little one ?" he asked of the third. "1 follow after Duty. ' he modestly said. And each went his way. The aged Hassan in his journey came upon three men. "My son." he said to the eldest, ''me thinks thou wert the youth who was following after Pleasure. Didst thou overtake her ?" "No. father." answered the man, ??Pleasure is but a phantom that Hies as one approaches. "Thou didst not follow the right way, my son." "How didst thou fare?" he asked of the second. "Pleasure is not with riches." he answered. "And thou." continued Hassan, addressing the youngest. "As I walked with Duty." he re? plied. " Pleasure walked ever by my Side." "It is always thus." replied the old man. '"Pleasure pursued is not over? taken. Only her shadow is caught by him who pursues, She herself goes hand in hand with Duty, and they who make duty their companion have also the companionship of Pleasure. _ ? <???*?-"'-?

It i> surprising to find how many people there are who would welcome a war as a relief for the hard times sound them as you pass around and you will he surprised. There i- entirely too much war talk to .-uit Brown. When Mr. Lincoln was elected to the presidency there were fully as many who thought that confidence would he restored and mat? ters would move along in smooth rut. again without bloodshed as there are now who believe that everything will he regulated amicably. Kven in the campaign for secession a great majori? ty believed that it would he peaceable and the stump speakers swore they would drink all the blood that was spilt. Brown was one of the fellows who believed that wc would he allow? ed to go in peace and he howled for secession. In the event that there should a war arise from secession these people believed that it would he a small matter and the smallest man in Georgia thought he could easily whip three yankees. It was the belief that yatikees could tuner learn to ride nor shoot nor march. Things turned out so different to what Brown expected that it makes him quiver to hear any war talk ami he has already begun to anticipate conscript officers and war times generally. The south would be peculiarly un? fortunate in the event of a war. though it were a foreign war. (If course the negroes would enlist and be received, and of course it would give them a share of the glory if glory there was. Any way. if the United States were to have a foreign war the negro would stand very different ever after in the matter of social equality. There are many reasons why the south should never agitate a war, bir, rather we should all go to work to find other reliefs. The abolition party would never have been born had the freeing of the negro been the only incentive. Conditions had grown to bo such in the New Kngland states that relief must be hail for the overburdened peo pie of that section. The abolition of slavery was agitated at first for divers? ion. The operatives of the manufact? uring states were made te believe that slavery would be their ruin and politi? cians profited by the agitation till nothing but a war could settle the question. The .New Hingland ?'gold bugs" grew fearful of the south as a manufacturing section with slave labor ?at least they pretended to be fearful and used it in their tariff arguments or any other arguments to divert the people from real conditions. All the time the strain grew worse and worse, the people grew poorer and poorer, till slavery must be sacrificed to give relief. Brown doubts if there was ever a war started except by the "nib? ble" upon the genuine questions in? volved. It may be wisdom to divert. It may be statesmanship to lose the people in things too great for them to find their way. but it would be wiser to find other ways out of it than war. In very olden times, they tell me, that there was what was known asayearof jubilee. I had forgotten about it till Brown and I drove up to church last Sunday while they sang? '?The year r??'j'iWlef h?s com , T!i? year of jubilee htm come, Return ye rand?omo tinners borne." Brown thinks that this year of jubi? lee would be a great thing in this day and time. He tells ate about all I know in the matter, and as he is a pretty close Bible reader I accept what lie says as the fact. It seems that in those days the tension upon brain and muscles needed relief just as it needs it in this day. therefore, every seventh year was set aside by law as a year of jubilee, wherein the people were re? lieved from taxes or other burdens of government and made to rejoice. In the same connection, every fifty years was set aside as a greater jubilee year, wherein all indebtedness was wiped out and everything started new. Brown says levive this old custom? it would be better than war, he thinks, and 1 can't help from contemplating what a rejoicing there would be just at this time if 18D5 was a year of jubi? lee with us. As it is there is no relief. Krpm the cradle to the grave it is strain, struggle and anxiety. Were it not for the seventh day of rest, which we had so far. there would not be a sane human being. Kvcry business man, every professional man, every workingman?all of creation?recog? nize the wisdom, outside id' Christian reverence, in us having our day of rest?one in every seven! h?is the way Brown enthuses upon the subject, and how happily, he says, wc could all join in a jubilee year together singing? '? I'Iih year of jubilee ha* * otn !" But this talk of Brown's is idle. 1 suppose. But none can deny but what something must be done to re? lieve the people. Will it he the thing j so commonly talked of just now?war? The south knows the blight of war. and our peculiar condition as regards the negro should make it a patriotic duty id' southern whites to cease this talk. This talk we hear does not arise from any patriotic motive?it is simply self? ish greed in some, in others it is ar? riving in that condition where any change will be received as a relief. It is a public state of mind growing every lay?that would tear down a republic or overthrow a monarchy, as the c.is" might be. Surely tin- people du mourn and some sort of change must take place. Brown nor I do not idace the responsibility of these con? ditions at the door of any party or any class. "It is a general looseness, Brown says, '"the natural consequence of ton much 'progress.'" He-ays that the grantlest invention ever pat? ented at Washington ceases to be grand the very moment it takes one crust of bread I'roiii the poorest child. The grandest intellect that ever treads our shores ceases to be grand the mo? ment it drops one speck if poison into our moral code or religious faiths.

S.YU'JF. I'l.tWK KIT. Two Georgia Stories. Some time during 1SSI Colonel. A. \Y. Toombs. of Kariiugton, Ky.. ob? tained possession of an old pipe, wliii-li was curious and attractive. It was in the possession of a negro tramp, who came to that town, and Colonel Toombs purchased it from him for a mere tri lie. The pipe was a handsomely carved J affair with a long stem, around which was a silver band containing the fol? lowing inscription: ??Found on the body of an ofheer in the Thomas corps, on the battlefield of Chickamauga, Sunday. September 12. ]Si!|. by Lieu? tenant Will Fra/.er. Third Confederate Infantry. Folk's brigade. Cleburne's division." Sometime afterward Col? onel Toombs, being anxious to learn something more concerning the history of the pipe, inserted a card in the (\itiri? r-tfiiurniil concerning a descrip? tion of it and asking for information. He was rewarded by receiving a letter from Lieutenant Frazor, of St. Louis, whose name was mentioned in the in? scription Oil the pipe. The Ictcrcon tained an account of how the pipe came into his possession, and the story is an interesting one. In his com? mutiicatioii Lieutenant Frazcr says: "In that terrible struggle on Sunday at Chickamauga my brigade (Folk's, Cleburne's division), in making the final charge about sunset, carried the works in its front, which were held if 1 mistake not by Beard's division id" regulars. As 1 stepped over the breastworks a federal officer lying near a battery, apparently in the last ago? nies of denth. motioned to me. I knelt beside him, raised his head and gave him a drink of water from my canteen. He feebly pointed to his breast p icket, from which I saw the stem of a pipe protruding, and taking it out he pressed it into my hands, and with his eyes expressed his desire for me to keep it. He Was speechless. I low I managed to keep the pipe through the mutations of war that followed that bloody Sunday I hardly know, but at the close, when I settled down in New Orleans, 1 found that the pipe had stuck to me. In lStiU I presented the pipe to a friend of mine in New Orleans, and he had it encir? cled with the silver band and engraved. I low it got out of his possession into the hands of the party from whom you obtained it is, of course, a matter of conjecture, and 1 regret its career should have been so inglorious." On the land of a fanner live miles east of Crab Orchard. Ky., near the village of (nun Sulphur, is a well which is a great wonder to those who have visited it. It is known as the "burning well," a name appropriately given, for its waters, though clear, limpid and drinkable, are as inflamma? ble as naphtha. This well is about fifteen feet deep, extending down through a stratum of slate rock. It contains a wooden pump stock and the water, as it comes cold and sparkling from the depths of the well, has no odor about it. It has a mineral taste and is exceedingly pleasant to drink. Vet a dipper full of it coming in con? tact with a flame will take fire, blazing Up like gunpowder. The well s dis? covery, if the natives tell a true story, was remarkable. A party of excur? sionists from the springs went out in that section in quest of ferns, fossils and the like. On their return they I found the well and stopped to get a drink. An old lady living near by brought a bucket and filled it with the refreshing fluid for the thirsty ram? blers. After they had drank she poured the remainder on the ground near the well. Just at this instant a young man of the party lighted a ciga? rette and threw the match heedlessly to the ground. It chanced to fall into the poured out water, which took fire and flashed up. amazing and fright? ening the whole party. At the sug? gestion of one of the onlookers more water was drawn, and to the wonder of all it took fire as readily as an ex? plosive, scorcuing the face and eye? brows of the rash experimenter who hold the match. The old lady's family had for years been using water out of the well, perfectly ignorant of its properties. A FiOd for Slot In-rs.
