A FEW WAR REMINISCENCES LI. nV L. L. ANGLE. The rreat battle of Gettysburg where It was fought uud how tt cjuu') about has alw:iys been a mystery to a great many people on the North era side. The reader of this article who no tices closely will oumprebend the situation anil whore and how It nil occurred (Continued from last week.) The main battle of the second day occurred between the Union troops on our left, and Longstreet's corps on the right of Lee's lines and com menced at 5 a. n. and ended with the darkness. Soon after this bat tle commenced, General G. K. Warren, chief of engineers upon Mead's staff, with a small squad of his signal corps, made a survey of the grounds to the south and on reaching Little Eound Top dis covered the importance of this posi tion to the left- of the Union lines. Longstreet had aiso discovered its importance, and a struggle at once ensued between the two, but War ren was a little the quicker and after a hard struggle succeeded in driving Longstreet's men back, and thus securing to the Union forces what proved to be the most important point gained during the dav. The losses on this second day again proved to be the greater on the Union side. Sickles' corps suffered so severely that it had to be thereafter consolidated with other corps. There was never perhaps hardpr fighting than occurred this second day on this end of the lines. The ground first occupied by Sickles' corps was fought over several times (five times, at least), each sidit occupying the same ground in turn, the scale of victory turning first to one and then to the other, until a way was found by Union generals to abandon the Mibition and form on Cemetery Ridgf, extending the line up and down over to the south base of Little Round Top. This with drawal had the effect to inspire Le with new courage, as be again i by one, ceased nring, until all were assumed it another victory f.r the silenced. Hot guns were now re relx.'l army. The trouble with Lee placed in position from West Cem was that he couldn't see that suchteu-ry hill to Little Round Top, to a movement was to gain a better j open at a given signal. The Second p-tition and not because victory i corps, under command of Winfield had again perched upon his banner. ! S. Hancock, occupied the center of This wa a constitutional defect jtlie Union lines. General Warren with Lee that instead of seeing and . was again upon his commanding realizing why such changes were J rock on the summit of Little Round in;ide, he appropriated theiu all to: Top. with his signal corps, taking himself as victories. Lee ordered jin the whole situation and com an attack to be made on the right ; iiiuiiicating the same to the Union of the Union lines at Culp's hill j commanders. While General Han and east Cemetery hill. The: cock was conspicuous in every im Twelfih corps had been in!portant movement during this possfssion of Culp's hill but was! three days' engagement, it was on withdrawn during Sickels' fight to; this particular occasion lhat he dis-re-enfirce that officer, leaving only jtinguir-hed himself and showed that Kune's brigade to hold the works, i he possessed more than ordinarv Johnson's division of E.vell's corps was assigned this duty, and easily drove out the Union forces. The Loiisiana Tigers were dispatched to east Cemetery hill, where a most desperate hand-to-hand conflict oc curred with the Pennsylvania Buck tails. The tigers were worse than whipped; nearly annihilated hardly enough left to tell the story. The re-forming of the Union lines along Cemetery Ridge and the fresh arrival of the Sixth corps rendered th further services of the Twelfth corps unnecessary on this end of the Union lines, and they were accordingly returned to Culp's hill, but only to find this bill occu pied by rebel troops. From 7 o'clock in the morning of July 3d, until 12 o'clock, a furious battle raged, which resulted in driving Johnson's division out, the Twelfth corps establishing itself again in its old intrcnchincnt on this hill. This ends the first and second and begins on the third days' fight the reader can draw his conclusions. On the 'evening of July 2d, after dark, Lee held a council of war with his leading generals, when' the result of the two days' fighting and the program for the day to come were discussed. Lee assumed he had won two victories, and that by making a bold charge upon the center of the Union lines with Picket's division of fresh troops, with a counter charge from the rear by Stuart's cavalry, the Union lines could be severed, and then by turning first to the right and then to the left, Mead's army would be destroyed in detail. Longstreet, then in command of his large corps and occupying the right of Lee's line, opposed the movements and clearly demonstrated their utter inability to accomplish the desired results. With his keen military mind, he knew that the new position now occupied by the Union troops was unassailable and would result in a terrible slaughter aud defeat. But Lee was persistent, and having the power, refused to be controlled by ins subordinate. This new movement was fully foreseen by Mead and his subordinates, and provision was duly made to meet just the movement which was made. Both flanks of the Union army were properly protected by cavalry and infantry. Gregg's cavalry was despatched to the right where it met Stuart's cavalry, three miles east of Gettysburg, early in the morning of the 3d, and one of the severest cavalry battles of the war there took place. Stuart was badly w hipped and chased so far to the north that he could not get to Lee to give him the important informa tion of his defeat. It is sufficient to say that he never arrived at the place designated by Lee. The de feat of Stuart and the driving of Johnson's rebel troops out of their intrencements on Culp's hill, were not communicated to Lee, and he was thereby left to make his pro posed charge on the center of the Union lines in ignorance of the real situation. This lack of receiving due information of such important events, connected as they were with the main charge, renders the con elusion irresistible that there was a loose cog somewhere in Lee's gen eral makeup, because success in such a hazardous attempt, to eever the Union lines in its center must have been attended by the fulfill ment of all the main plans of the charge. The perfect quietness of the rebel forces at 11 o'clock in the forenoon was easilv and quicklv ,-,- . i w j j . j anticipated by Mead and h s lead- i u u.v. n.. ? ing generals. Now, the reader will fully understand and comprehend the three days' fight had not hardly commenced, as both armies were working all night getting in shape and in proper line for the next hard and blood v struggle, and jwben the artillery duel commenced about 1:JU in the afternoon ot the third day,the Union generals were as ready for it as they could have been by a direct order from Lee explain ing the whole movements. They knew that this artillery duel was only a prelude to & charge which would surely follow, and General Hunt, Chief of Artillery, governed himself and his artillery according ly. Tke fire from the Union guns was light, only eighty responding, while Lee set fully 200 at work. After two hours of this particular j sort of warfare, the Union guns one i military ability. He was severely wounded just at the left of Blood v Angle, aud the tops of trees which moved the objective point of Pickett's charge. Lee's army was organized into three infantry corps, commanded respectively bv Gen erals Richard S. Ewell, A.P.Hill and James Longstreet. Pickett's division was a part of Longstreet's corps ; ih?y were 18,000 strong, and mostly Virgians, and regarded as the flower of Lee's army. Never was there greater military genus displayed on the Union side than here, and weaker on the other than during this whole three days fight. Lee and his officers were outgener aled in every particular. The Union lines were not more than four and a half miles in length, formed behind breastworks either natural or artificial. Both flanks were securely protected by cavalry and infantry. Reinforcements from one part to the other could be made in the rear, wholly out of sight of the enemy and under cover of the ridge in front. The routes were necessarily shortened by the natural lay of the ground. But this was not so with Lee. His lines were fully seven miles long, extend ing around the Union Jines and leaving a space between of about a mile and in some places a little more. By this formation, rein forcements had a much longer distance to travel, and in many places were in full view of the Union commanders. Longstreet, by all odds the greater man of the two, took in the whole situation and saw plainly the result which followed. It is sufficient to say that the charges in front were made according to Lee's own plan, and resulted according to Longstreet's prophecy (Longstreet claims this after it was over). The theme is probably such might be the case after it was too late. Pickett's division with its support upon either flank, marched into the can non's mouth, and had only 4,000 left to tell the story to their comrades in the rear, the balance being killed, wounded or token prisoners. Here the great struggle comes on both. General S. Wiley Crawford, in command of the Penn sylvania reserves, made a counter charge in front of Little Round Top just before night, killing aad wounding many and capturing a large number of prisoners. This closed this great battle the battle of the world the half can't be told. Lee now returned to his native state, with hi3 army reduced fully 40,000, demoralized, dis couraged and disheartened, with his own high hopes of capturing northern cities brought to a sudden collapse and all thought of recogni tion by foreign powers on that ac count at an end. And the great three days' fight closed. P. S.

The plan is to extract and manu facture turpentine, Cr balsam, wood tar and charcoal out of fir slumps. If the scheme is as practical as its sup porters claim, it will mean a great in crease to the local wealth of this coun try, the employment of large numbers of men. and the investment of consid erable capital. In giving statistics the promotors said that they had produced as many as 75 barrels of the articles abovo named at one burning of 50 core's of stumps, and they have made IS burn ings in one oven in a year. The in come, therefore, largely depends upon the number of ovens that can be opera ted. The demand is active, and for eign countries like Australia, India, China and Japan consume large amounts. It is claimed that as a result of this manufacture, turpentine can be sold tor os cents per gallon: nr oaisara at $4: wood tar for od cents; charcoal for 25 cents per sack. For one of thi average sized ovens they place their expenses at StMo. and receipts at tlSl, or a net profit of $1335. Fifteen burn ings, which is a conservative estimate, would place the years profits at 320a26. Guaranteed Cure.
