People Were Awaiting News f
of Battle of Gettysburg.
FIFTY years ago this Fourth of
July the people of the whole
country were in a state of tre
mendous excitement over the
; battle of Gettysburg, which came to an
end the day before. For three days
startling rumors had beeu afloat The
Confederate army; under General Rob
ert E. Xe, was In the heart of Penn
sylvania. - Fighting began July 1 close
to the town of Gettysburg. The Unit
ed States government censored all dis
patches from the battlefield, but there
were unofficial telegraph messages sent
out from offices near the scene of oper
ations. After the battle of July,; 1 a
dispatch stated that the Confederates
were cut in two and retreating, etc.
, The Army of the Potomac was in the
field to combat Lee. Its commander.
General Joseph Hooker, had been re
moved June 28, and news of that add

the fate of the army. The government
censorship of telegraph dispatches sent
to the press was very rigid, but from
hour to hour in a crisis like that at Get
tysburg the authorities at Washington
sent dispatches direct to the towns and
cities to be placed on the bulletin
boards. In this way the people within
reach of the telegraph centers were
posted at intervals during the 4th upon
the latest news from the field.
The battle of Gettysburg closed July
3. The morning newspaper news of
that date was chiefly in the minds of
the public on the Fourth except those
who received the morning dailies of the
Fourth. This number, was a compara
tively small proportion of the popula
tion. In the news printed on July 3,
over which the people were ruminating
on Independence day, was information
of the severe battle on July 1 "near
Gettysburg."
The papers stated that General J. F.
Reynolds of the Federal forces had
been killed, that the Confederates had
been "repulsed" and "driven" and
were "avoiding the issue" and that
General George G. Meade, the com
mander who succeeded Hooker, was
"pressing" them. The general sum
mary of this information which' was be
fore the people on the Fourth was that
reports from the battle of Gettysburg
were "not unfavorable."
The morning papers of July 4 placed

before their readers on 'Independence
day the statement that the battle of
Gettysburg had been the severest of
the war, but. contained no hint what
ever of Pickett's eharge, which closed
the day on July 3 and closed the bat
tle of Gettysburg. The papers also
gave official news relating to the fight
ing of July 1 and 2. One of the news
paper headings was, "We Took Gettys
burg." A dispatch from General Meade
dated at 3 p. m., July 2, the day of the
terrible battle in front of Little Round
Top, said that there had been no fight
ing of consequence that day. In one
hour after that the Confederate guns
opened upon General Sickles' line. A
still later dispatch also appeared, dat
ed at 8 a. m. July 3. There was no ref
erence to the results of the fighting of
the previous day, but the dispatch stat
ed that fighting bad begun on that
morning.
In comparison with Pickett's charge,
which took place on the- afternoon of
July 3, this fighting of the early morn
ing was a mere incident of the battle.
Meade closed his dispatch with a state
ment that the Confederates "have
made no impression on my position as
yet" ;. i '-
In this dispatch General Meade gave
to the people whose relatives were In
the army at Gettysburg food for
thought by stating that the losses had
been heavy. This news, taken in con

SHOULD WE CELEBRATE
ON THE 2D OF JULY?
On the 3d of July, 177G, John Ad
ams, then one of the representatives
of Massachusetts in the Continental
congress.' wrote to his wife, Abigail:'
"Yesterday the greatest question was
decided which was ever debated in
America, and a greater perhaps never
was nor will be decided among men."
In a second letter, written the same1
day, he said:
"But the day is past . The 2d of
July will be the most memorable
epoch in the history of America. 1
am apt to believe that It will be cele
brated by succeeding generations as
the great anniversary festival. It
ought to be commemorated as the day
of deliverance by solemn acts of devo
tion to God Almighty. It ought to be
solemnized with pomp and parade,
with shows, games, sports, guns, bells,
bonfires and illuminations, from one
end of this continent to the other, from
this time forward, forevermore."
.When the resolution was taken up
on the 2d all the states, except New
York, voted to accept it Thus on the
2d day of July. 1776, the Independence
of the thirteen united colonies from
the throne of Great Britain was defi
nitely decidrd upon. The 2d and not

the separation. We could with pro
priety celebrate the Fourth two days
earlier. That the participants in the.
work considered the 2d as the true
date is shown by the letters written
by John Adams, quoted at the begin
ning of this article. The popular fancy,
however, seized upon the Fourth, the
date of acceptance of Jefferson's more
dramatic declaration of the reasons for
the separation, as the proper day to
celebrate. The debate upon the docu
ment was continued until the after
noon of the Fourth and. says Jefferson,
might have run on interminably at any
other season of the year.
But the weather was oppressively
warm, and the hall in which the depu
ties sat was close to the stable,
"whence the hungry flies swarmed
thick and fierce, alighting on the legs
of the delegates - and biting hard
through their thin silk stockings.
Treason was preferable to discomfort,"
and at last the delegates were brought
to such a state of .mind as to agree to
the Declaration without further amend
ment It is a mistake to suppose that the
document was signed by the delegates
on that day. It Is improbable that any
signing was done save by John Han
cock, the president of the congress,
and Charles Thomson, the secretary.
