THE TURNING OF THE TIDE. George E. Pickett’s Grand Charge at Gettysburg. Gen. A GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF THE FINAL EFFORT TO BREAK THE U¥ION LINE—TAS DETERMINED ADVANCE AMID TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER, 1 From Capt, H. T. Owen's Acconntin the Phila- deiphia Times, } @n the night of the 30th of sune, 1962, Pick~ etv’s division bivouacked In the woods about two miles south of Chambersburg. The men were foot sore and weary, and went tato camp from an almost continuous march of more than a thousand es. The bright uniforms and bratded capa of eariter days were now gone, and had given Place to the slouched hat, the faded, threadbare jaeket, and patched pantaloons, The veterans’ feces were tanned by summers’ heat and win- ters’ storms, au d covered with unkempt beard. Boys who enlisted in their teens ap, with Jong tangled locks, changed aud weather- beaten now, apparently, into men of middie life. Their tents had been destroyed early in the war and thelr baggage had been redaced fli tue men often marched from time to tine, le: Tanks, and fallet comrades, left strewn on many fields, polnted a5 landmaras the track of the division and the course of bat- tle. Heavy lesses in many battles, and still “ater losses by disease, besides vartous recent tatls, iu addition to the two largest brigades being left behind In Virginia, had reduced the oy wm Bow to about one-third of its former strength. But though its numbers were lessened te se Was sll unbroken; each blooiy contliet that thinned tts ranks had spread a ‘Wider fame and forced confidence In the terror Of their name, Upon the long rapid march tha Weak, the feeble, and the sick had fallea by the Way and been left Delind, and those now ao- Swering to roll-call were the strong on the march and the stout in battle, who paused at Bo obstacle, quatied at no danger, and to whom scenes of earuage had grown familiar. Wednesday morning, July 1, wa3 hot and guliry. Through camp, seatteréd over wooded Dill and dale, tue jest, the laugh, and saatches of southern soug kept up a busy hum. Tae morning wore siowly on to noon, when straz- glers returning Into camp reported that out upon the hilis beyond the noise of camp there could be heard heavy distant cannon firing.

Tue Bight eame and roiled along over the loag hours until dawn to find the division stilt Grawn up to ifne of battle watching under arms for the approach of the enemy. At daylight on Thursday morning, the 2d of July, the columns of wet, worn, aud sleepiess eA Were put in Motion On the road to Gettys- ‘burg. The sun rose bright and ciear, rain drops sparkled ou every twig and Diade of grass, a ool, refresbing breeze, laden with sweet per- fumes ef summer tlowers, liftea the tangled lock upon the heated brow and fanned the care- Worn cheek, until along the long ines of rough and rugged Veterans, tramping rapid!y forward, could be heard here ‘and there some humorous Jest or joyous laugh, but before noon the day ‘Was hot and sultry. At 3 o'clock the division reached the crest of the hill that overlooks Gettysburg, and tn sight Of the distant battleiied beyond, having come since dayl&ht twenty-seven miles, Here the division was balted, and a rumor circulated along the lines that Gen. Longstreet, apprised of Pickett'’s approach, sent him this message: “Bring your division around on the right at once, Hood is about to sttack and I want you to support him,” To which Gea. Pickett re- piled: ¥ Mien are exhausted, and must have Test before going any further.” Gen. Lee re- plied to Major Walter Harrison, who reported to him the ny oe of Pickett’s division: “Teli Gen. Pickett I shall not want him this evening tell bim to Jet his men rest and I will send nim ‘Word when I want them.” And soon afterward, meeting Gen. Pickett Gen. Lee sald: “I am giad you bave come; i shall have work for you to- morrow.” Gen. Hood relates a conversation that oc- curred early in the montage in which he said to Gen. Longstreet, “Gen. Lee seems a little nervous this morning.” To which Longstreet Feplies, “He wishes me to attack. Ido not wish do 80 without Pickett. I never like to go lato Dattle with one boot off.” Wheu the aivision came In sight of the pattle- fem, at 3 o'clock, It was halted by Pickett, aud Be, acccmpanied by his ald, Capt. 5. R. Batrd, Tode forward and reported in person the arrival of his division to Longstreet, who, upon leara- ing the jaded condition of the mea, ordered wem into camp where they nad been halted. Many of the officers and men of the division came out upen the hill to view the distant bat Ueileld and to listen to the uproar of that flerce onset of Hood and McLaws, which began at precisely o’elock and lasted unul about 7's. Hood and McLaws fell Duck at dark, leaviag upon the Held 4,529 men, betug a 1033 ’of mgre tan one-third of thelr numbers carried into action. Gen. Lee says: “It being now about dark. Gen. Longstreet retired and determined to awalt ‘he arrival of Pickett. Pickett’s @ivision was silent, within sight and hearing of this canguinary conillct, and, perhaps, the op- tunity to change the course of history was For bad Pickett’s division, upon its arrival on the field at 3 o'clock, been led straight into battle, or had it supported the assault of Hood 2nd McLawe at any time after an hour's rest, it Was possible the battle of Gettysburg would bave ——_ there without a third day’s bloody sequel On Priday morning, July 3, Pickett’s division left his bivouac at dawn of day, and moving around to the right, reached the position as- signed It in the ravine behind Cemetery Ridge soon after 6 o'clock. Long dark lines of in- fapiry were massed along the bottems, con- cealed from the enemy’s view, and orders were given “to He down and keep still to avoid at- Tracting the attention of the enemy.” About $ o'clock Gens. Lee, Longstreet and Pickett, in company, rode slowly along up and down in front of the long lines of prostrate infantry, Wewlng them closely and critically as they Fode along. They were not greeted with the usual cheers, as orders had preceded them for- bidding this, but the men voluntarily rose up and stood in line with uncovered heads and hats held aloft while their chieftains rode by. This review over, strong thrown forward to support the artillery sta Uoned along the crest oi Oak Ridge and Cem: tery Ridge, composed of about 120 cannon, and stretching along the brow of these ridges for a mile. The supporting de. tachments were placed about a hundred yards in the rear of this line of battertes, and lay down in the tail crass, with a cloudless sky Sid a bright July sun pouring its scorching Yays almost vertically upon them for five long. weary hours, while they listened and wateaed In painful sdspense for some sound or some Movement to break that profound stfliness which rested over the vast battlefield and de-~ pressed the spirits ikea dreadful nightmare. Atl O'clock this awful stiliness was suddenly broken, and the men startled by the discharge ofa — of signal guns fired in quick succas- ston, followed by a Silence of haif a minute, and’ then, while their echo was yet rolling along the distant defies and mountain gorges, &@ uproar began as wonderful as had been the previcus stience. Lee's 120 guns opened at Once With a crash afd thunder sound that shook the hills for mlies around from crest to base, and were instantly replied to by about eighty guns ranged by Gen. Meade along the front of Cemetery Ridge, about one mile in front. No sound of roaring waters. nor wind, nor ‘thuncer, nor of these combined, ever equalled the tremendous uproar, and no command, no ‘order, no sound of volce, could be heard at all above the ceaseless din of thousands of shriek- tpg shot and shell falling thick and fast on every side and bursting with territic explo- sions, while others by thousands came bound- ing, skipping, racing and chasing each other over the hill and down the The air was Oiled with clouds of dust, and volumes of su!- pburous, suffocating smoke rolled up wht and bluish-gray, aud hung ike a pall over the field, through the rifts and reats of watch the sun with dim Ught looked dowa upon the iy see: ghastly seene, After two hours the fring suddenly ceased, and silence sgain rested for half an hour over the batticheid, during which time the confed- erates were rapidly forming an attacking coi- umn just below the brow of Seminary itidge ye lines of infantry came pouring out of woods and bottoms, across ravines and Uttle valleys, hurrying on to the positions a3- them in the ‘column. Two separate lines of couble ranks were formed a hundred yards apart, and in the center of the column Was placed the division of Pickett, sald to "8 army”—4,4S1 privates, ‘The column of attack, composed of Wilcox's » Pickett’s and Heatn’s divisions, and other de for thts animated address to the troops, and SayiDg to his own division: PS emsy, and remember old Virginia.” ‘the command in a strong, — Ward: Guide centre!

The colama Taoved on at a quick step with shouldered arms, and the tire of the skirmish line was not re- turned. Half way over the fleld an order ran down the iine, “Left oblique,” which wa3 promptly obeyed, and the direction was ehanged forty-five degrees from the front to the left, “Men looking away, ‘ar off toward the lett fank, saw that the supporting columas there were crumbling and melting rapidly away. General Pickett sent hta brother, Major Charles Pickett, galloping swiftly to rally, it possible, the wavering lines, saying to him: “Uniess they beg Fer us onthe jeft my div! ‘sion wilt be cut to pieces.” Major Pickett and other officers rode among the breaking battal- ions and vainly attempted to restore order, but hundreds and thousands of fugitives from the Trent could be seen flecing from the field and Wwentrusiing pell-mell toward the rear like dry leaves before agale. Order was not re- Stored upon the left, aul Pickett’s support there waa gone excepting some brave Teunes- Seeans and North Carolinians, who never wav- ered in the storm, but closing up by the side of Pickett's Virgmians, went as far, fought a3 dong, Died as treely and fell as thick as Pick- amen. The command now tame along the line, “ Front, forward!” ané the column resumed tt3 dirccUon straight down upon the center of tha eremy’s position. Some men Zow looking to the Tight saw that the troop3 there had entirely disappeared, Dut how or when they left was not knowa. The enemy tn front, occupying an ele- yated position, and watching closely every movement of the advancing columas, say “the right gave way first, then the left broke up and fied the feild, but the massive center, composed of General Pickett’s veterans of iron nerve, wounded in scores of battles, were coming sternly on.” Guns hitherto employed in firlag at the troops on the right and lett sent a shower of shells after the fleeing fugitives, and thea trained upon the center, where the storm burst in ten-fold fury, as a batteries sent a concentrated fire of shot and shell in through, and around the herole column. The destruction of life in the ranks of that ad- vancing host was fearful beyond precedent, officers going down by dozens and the men by scores and fifties. Kemper had gone down terribly mangled, but Garnett still towered ult, ang TOde up and dowa the front line, = im. calm voice: “Faster, men! saying in a ~ ~~emas OULU faster, Dut don’t faster! Close up anu w- ~ aa approaching doubie quick!” The column »,— ateg the Emmittspurg road, where a line of Inia... stationed behind a stone fence, was pouring in @ heavy fire of musketry. A scattering fire was opened along the front of the division upoa this line, when Garnett galloped alon the line and called out, “Cease firing,” an his command was ea tly obeyed, show- ing the wonderful discipline of the men, who Teloaded their guns, shouldered arms, and kept on without slackening thelr pace, which was ‘Still a “quick step.” 1 The stone fence was Carried without a Strug- gle, the Infantry and the skirmish line swept away before the division lke trash before the broom. Two-thirds of the distance was behiad, and the 100 cannon in the rear were dumb and did not reply to the hotly worked guns in our front. We were.now 490 yards from the foot of Cemetery Hill, when away off to the right, nearly half a mile, there appeared tn the opea Nelda line of men at right angles with ourown— a long, dark mass, dressed in blue, and coming down at a “double quick” upon the unprotecte. right flank of Pickett’s men, with their muskets “upon the right shoulder shift,” their battle Mays dancing and fluttering in the breeze created by their own rapid motion, and their burnished bayonets gilstening above their heads like forest twigs covered with sheets of sparkling ice when shaken by a Diast. Garnett. [mov pns along the line, saying, ‘Faster, men! faster!” and the front line broke forward into @ double quick, wnen Garnett called out, “Steady, men! steady! Don’t double quick. Save your wind and your ammunition for the final Charge!” and then went down among the dead, and his clarion voice was no more heard above the roar of battle. The enemy were now seen strengthening their lines where the biow was expected to strike by hurrying up reserves from the right and left, the columns from oppo- sile directions passing each other doubis along our front Mike the fingers of a man’s two hands jocking together. The distance had again short- ened, and officers in the enemy's lines couid be distinguished by their uniforms from the pri- yates. Then was heard behind that heavy thud of a mufiled tread of armed men, that roar and rush of trampling feet, as Armistead’s column from the rear closed up behind the front line he (the !ast brigadier)took command, stepped out in front with his hat uplifted on the point of his sword, and led the division, now four ranks deep, rapidly and grandly across the valley of death, covered with clover aa soft as a Turkish ot. There it was again! and again!—a sound fill- ing the air above, below, around us, like the blast through the top of a dry cedar or the whirring sound made by the sudden flight of & flock of quail. It was grape and cannister, and the columa broke forward Into a double quick, and rushed toward the stone wall, where iorty cannon were belcl forth grape and canister twice and thrice a minute. A hundrea yards from the stone wall the flanking party on the right, coming down on a heavy run, halted suddenly within 50 yards, and [aoe a deadly storm of musket balls into Pickett’s men, double quicking across their front, and under this terrible cfoss fire the men reeled and staggered between falling com- races, and the right came pressing dowo upon the center, crowding the companies into confusion. But all Knew the purpose to carry the heights in front, and ted mass, from fifteen to thirty deep, rushed toward the stone wall, while a few hun- dred men, without orders, faced to the right and fought the flanking party there, although flity to one, and for a time held them at bay. luskets were seen crossed as some men fired to the right and others to the front, and the fighting was terrific—tar beyond all other ex- perience even of Pickett's men, who for once raised no cheer, while the welkin rang around them with the “Union triple huzza.” The old veterans saw the fearful odds against them, oe other hosts gathering darker and deeper The time was too Preclous, too serious, for a cheer; they buckled down to the heavy task in silence, and fought with a feeling like despair. The enemy were falling back in front, while officers were seen amoug their breaking lines striving to maintatn their ground. Pickett’s meu were within a few feet of the stone wall when the artillery delivered their last fire from og shotted to the muzzle. A blaze fitty feet long Went through the charging, surgiag host with a gaping rent to the rear, but the survi- vors mounted the wall, then over and onward, rusbed up the hill close after the gunners, wh) waved their rammers in the face of Pickett’s men, and sent up cheer after cheer as they Teit admiration for the gallant charge. Oa swept. the column over ground covered with dead and dying men, where the earth Seemed to be on fire, the smoke dense and suffocating, the sur shut out flames blazing on every side, friend could hardly be distinguished from foe, but the divis- ton, in the shape of an inverted V, with the point fattened, pushed forward, fighting, fall- ite. and melting away, till half way up the li they were met by a powerful body of fresti troops charging down upon them, ard this Temmant of about a thousand men was hurled back out into the clover fleld. Brave Armistead Was down among the enemy’s guns, mortaliy wounded, but was last seen leaning upon one elbow, slashing at the gunners to prevent them from firing at his retreating men. Out in front Of the breastworks the men showed a dispost- Uon to reform for another charge, and an offi- cer looking at the frowning he nts, with blood tickling down the side of inquired of anothe! ‘What shall we do?” The answer re-enforcements soon we can ” But no re-enforcements came, bone were in sight, and about a thousand men fled to the rear over dead and wounded, mangled, ig, dying men, scattered thick, far and wide, while shot and shell tore up the earth and Minje balls flew around them for more @ thousand yards, An attelopt was made on the brow of Ceme- tery Hill, in front of the confederate batteries, by a couple of officers to rally the fugitives, but the effort (under a heavy cross-fire from both stdes now) failed, and then commenced a rout that soon in toa stampede and almos: demoralization of all the survivors of this noted charge, Without distinction of regiments or cam- mands. A few hundred yards behind the confederate batteries there is a ravine along which rung a country road that makes at one place an abrupt angle by turning or to the left. At tuls point there is a bluff on one side anda sight Swamp on the DATTOW Daca other, af through which the fugitives, without distin - Uon of rauk, officers abd privates side by sid=, pushed, poured, and in 8 continucu stream, wing away guns, Blankets, and haversacks as they hurried on in contasi n toward the rear. Here another effort was mid to rally the broken troops and all sorts of a:- peals and threats made to officers and men, wi o urned a deaf ear and hurried on, some of tie officers even j loose with an oath from shoulders the band laid on to attract tthe 's appeals, halted and f formed cleus an a nu ‘whieh about thirty others the retreat, and the Stream of stragglers dammed up several hun- wens.
