At Gettysburg more than 400 can­ nons belched away for hours, shaking the ground as with an earthquake, but the loss in killed and wounded was not as greai as that inflicted by a brigade in action. More than 100 Confederate field pieces were turned on Round Top for two long hours, and yet infantry rested there and munched their hard­ tack almost as coolly as in camp. When Lee retreated and Sheridan pur­ sued his wagon-train over the mountain roads, the rear guard of the Confeder­ ates planted two field pieces in the ■arrow road ter check pursuit. They were well served, had plenty of am­ munition, and seemed to command the entire approach, but those guns were charged and captured with the loss of but three men. The fire of artillery is destructive only when it hits, the same as infantry, but it is easier to shoot a man with a musket than with a cannon. A shell has been known to blow twelve men into pieces, but perhaps twenty other shells were wasted before that ono hit A round shot may crush two men as it plows through a regiment, but it will take no more.
