"THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG"
( (Hespectfully Dedicated to the Blue and the Grey,
by Col. Wm. H. Taylor.)
Beyond all question the battle of Gettysburg was the most
picturesque mid important engagement of the Civil War.
'Those who died upon thhi glorious Held died that the Na
tion might live, and not one man Khali be forgotten or neglected.
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here,
but it can never forget what they did here.
"Let us from these honored dead take Increased devotion;
here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died In vain,
that the Nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom
and the government of the people, by the people, and for the peo
ple, shall not perish from the earth."
Thus tpoke the martyred Lincoln at the dedication of the
Gettysburg Cemetery, In November, 1864. So long as history re
cords the thrilling acts of heroism and patriotism on battlefields,
the story of Gettysburg will be read with undying Interest. The
anniversaries of that stupendous episode has time and again been
painted by orators and sung by poets recalling again the shining
deeds immortal.
It has been told a thousand times, perhaps, how at the
"high water mark" period of the Civil War, General Lee, at the
head ol the Southern Army, under pressure of the Confederate
Cabinet and the Ruling men of the South, was urged to make a
grand strategic move invade the North, strike terror to the Coun
try, defeat the Union Annies, march upon Washington and take
possession of the cities of the Atlantic Coast. General Lee was
considered an invincible leader. And so with the flower of the
Southern Army, more thau 70,000 men, Lee decided to enter the
enemy's country raid the garden spot of the Union, the fertile
fields of Southern Pennsylvania. It was near harvest time, and
the fields were growing yellow with ripening grain.
General Mead, at the head of the Union Army, had some
8b, 000 men. (The men engaged in this battle have been put
by the several writers at from 70,000 to 75,000 on the Confederate,
and from 85,000 to 93,000 on the Federal side). Lee marched
triumphant from Maryland to Pennsylvania, on his way North;
but before he was fairly aware of it; General Hooker, with a
part of Mead's Army, confronted him. It Is said that the col
lision at Gettysburg was unexpected. Lee had no cavalry In front
of his leading division. Lieutenant Fox, In his admlruble account
of the battle, says that a part of Lee's mounted troops were
absent on a raid, and a part had been assigned to other portions
of the Army. On the evening of June 30th, the day before the
battle opened, the three corps of the Confederate Army were
many miles apart. The seven corps of the Union Army also oc
cupied positions covering wide territory. On July 1, 1863, the
battle of Gettysburg began, and for three days the conflict raged
with unparalleled slaughter. It has been stated more lives were
lost In an hour at Gettysburg than in our entire recent Spanish War
in Cuba and the Philippines in battle. It may be recalled that
on the first day General Reynolds was killed and General O. O.
Howard bore a large share in the conflict. On the second day
the battle raged for miles, in a succession of charges and cavalry
duels, with slaughter unprecedented In the history of battle's.
On that day General Danield E. Sickles had his leg shot
oil. The stump was amputated and he was Immediately carried
on a litter, day and night, through the rain to the nearest railway
Btatlon, leaving 30,000 dead and dying on the field.
On the second day Lee performed heroic deeds, vainly
trying to break the Union lines nnd carry their position for miles
along that appalling battlefield.
On the third day In the heat and glare of July midsummer
the final desperate struggle wns made, culminating In Pickett's
famous charge with miles of artillery firing on the gallnnt heroes
of the South, and all the guns of the Confederate forces belching
Are and lead In their defense. More than 40,000 men fell on that
oloody battlefield.
On our side were about 85,000 men; of these, my native
state, New York, contributed 27.000. The loss to the Union
Army was about 23,000, of which 6707 was borne by New York
troops alone. Shot and shell mowed down the unripened grain
and tore the limbs from unnumbered trees. The green meadows
and the grey rocks were crimson. The graves In Gettysburg Ceme
tery are filled with thousands of the fallen, shrouded In their
blood-stained uniforms. The eecape of Lee prolonged the Re
bellion for nearly two years. Some time after the close of the
war, I asked General Alexander, who commanded Lee's artillery
at Gettysburg, what would have been the result If our reserves of
Infantry and cavalry had been thrown on the right flank and rear
the Confederates after their defeat? He answered.
"The War would have ended In an hour!"
Waterloo terminated the military supremacy of France;
Gettysburg assured the perpetuity of the American Republic.
Waterloo was the triumph of the reigning nionarchs over the
French revolution. ... ,,
Gettysburg prevented European Intervention In our Civil
War Waterloo restored France to the Bourbons. Gettysburg broke
the chains that fettered millions of slaves, giving force and effect
to Lincoln's Proclamation of Emancipation, which before was only
an edict. Great Battle, Its causes and effect, and
now with your further Indulgence and dedicated to both the
Blue and the Grey, we picture in verse;
"THE THIRD DAY AT GETTYSBl'RG."
I thought the clock struck five, and father was calling the men;
But, tired with the mowing, I turned my cheek to the pillow to
sleep again.
And my pillow was wet with the morning dew; my bed was the
hill; the sky
Was n;y roof and my blanket and in the East the morning sun
was high.
A gun Bhakes the ground another a volley! Away In the dark
Where the sleepless pickets watch a flnsh like the firefly's dis
tant Bpark, '
It flutters along the edges. A stir through the shadow inns,
And the silent battalions stand in line, and the gunners at the guns.
There are eight and fifty guns aligned,
And the white Blabs rise behind
To fight In their street it Is not meet.
And the dead will never mind.
We came through Gettysburg town,
Firing back as the sun went down;
I saw there a maid she was not afraid
And she smiled as the sun went down.
Now under the rising sun In the woods the fight roars on
Six points of the dial our silent gun marks on the lunette e're the
right is won.
The trenches emptied at Sickles' call, when Longstreet tripped
last night, and the fall
Crashed down our center. And still we wait oh, the waiting, 'tis
worst of all!
Where the lanyard Is swinging, the fuse is cut, the sabre at carry;
e'en higher
The heels leap and tremble, the trail spurns the sod. the hoofs
in the dust strike Are.
We wait but we know where the curtain shakes as the flying
reek drifts afar
Are the scene shifters, setting the stage anew, for the ever new
drama of War.
Now the curtain rings up. To your guns! Ah! Hon of Lee R hat,
With shell! Load! Since Crecy was lost and won such a sight
has not seen the day.
Shall it ever again? 'Twlxt the crest and the plain, half way,
cannon stand wheel to wheel.
From the left to the right mile on mile tier on tier now were
that white-tongue forks with red molten steel.
Aim low! Fire! and now, as If wired and fired all at once at
a touch.
IK) BIGGER Bl'SINESS
THAN STEEL COMBINE.
CHICAGO, May 2!). The four big
packers, Swift, Armour, Morris and
Cudahy, and their nsHoclates, the Na
tional Packing Company, do nn nn
'lual gross business of nearly $800,
000,000, a total greater than that of
:he Steel Coj'poratlon In Us biggest
vear, 1907, when gross sules renched
1757,000,000. it is now possible,
iwlirg to the Massachusetts laws re
lulrlng full statements for the first
'.line in the history of the packing
nduetry. to get a closer idea of the
ixact proportions of the business, the
tales of the different companies for
he last year being as follows:
Swift. $250,000,000; Armour.
240, 000.000; Morris, $110,000,000;
2udnliy, $80,000,000; National Pack
ng Company, $100,000,000; total,
$780,000,000. Figures of National
lacking sales arc not official, ns in
he ense of the other .companies.
They are, however, conservative, so
hat, based upon the present volume
if business handled by the big four,
t is believed the gross total would
be found to exceed $800,000,000.

first violence to railroad property In

was stoned nnd then boarded by men
who set the brukes and broke it into
three sections, blocking Ihe main line
and the progress of the malls. The
