Every soldier felt his heart thrill as he witnessed the magnifeent cour- age ot his general, and he resolved to do something that day which would equal it in danng. Just. as Hancock reached the left line the rebel batteries ceased to play. and their intantry, 1S,000 strong, were seen emerging from the idvancing up the hill. Hancock knew the artillery fire had been in ended to demoralize ins men and cover the advance of their infantry which was to make the real attack. Turning his horse he rode slowly up the line from lett to mght, holding his hat in his hand, bowing and smil ing to the troops as they lay flat on the ground. Hardly had he reached the right of the line when the men, who, inspired by the courage of their general, couid now hardly restrain themselves, received orders to attack the advancing rebels. Eighty guns which Hancock had concentratea opened their brazen mouths and streams ot blue bullets flew trom the muzzles ot the rifles to the breasts ot the confederates. It was an aw- ful day and Longstreets‘‘Oid Guard of the South’’ melted away like wax under the terrible fire. Of the 18,- 000 who came to the attack 5,000 fell or were captured on the hillside.
