Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 7. (ed. Frank Moore), Incidents of Vicksburgh. (search)
ly, but Pemberton was evidently mortified. He said: I was at Monterey and Buena Vista. We had terms and conditions there. General Grant here took him aside, and they sat down on the grass and talked more than an hour. Grant smoked all the time; Pemberton played with the grass and pulled leaves. It was finally agreed to parole them, allowing the officers each his horse. It was a politic thing. The dread of going North and fear of harsh treatment had deterred them from capitulating sooner. Our men treated the rebels with kindness, giving them coffee, which some had not tasted for a year. The city is much dilapidated, and many houses are injured. The Vicksburgh paper of July second admits the eating of mule meat and the pilfering of soldiers. In private houses there seems to be much suffering from sickness and our missiles. The river batteries at Vicksburgh are composed of thirty-six guns of the Blakely, Whitworth, and Brooks pattern. All these fell into our hands.

ing the mistake which our correspondent, unintentionally, had fallen into, in relation to the part borne by Perry's brigade in the Gettysburgh fight. The letter will speak for itself: headquarters Wright's brigade, Orange C. H., Va., August 5, 1863. Mr. Editor: I desire to make a correction of the statement in my letter of the seventh ult., and published in your issue of the twenty-third, as to the conduct of Perry's brigade in the charge upon the enemy's lines at Gettysburgh on the second of July. From information received from several officers of that brigade, and who were in the charge, I am satisfied that the brigade (which is very small) acted well — that it advanced along with Wilcox's and Wright's brigades until it was overwhelmed by vastly superior numbers, and that even then it only fell back in obedience to orders, and when it was apparent that the day was lost. I learn, also, that it was engaged again on the third, when Pickett's charge was made, and that it suffered
Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 7. (ed. Frank Moore), Colonel C. F. Taylor: killed at the battle of Gettysburgh, July Second. (search)
Colonel C. F. Taylor: killed at the battle of Gettysburgh, July Second. He fell as many a hero falls, Untimely, in the fearful fray, Who only asks where duty calls, Then bravely leads the ordered way. Undaunted by the battle storm, “Come on, come on, my boys!” he cried; Dismayed they saw his reeling form, But conquered where their leader died. And now he sleeps the endless sleep; Naught shall disturb that blest repose. Though friends may sigh and kindred weep, His heart no pain nor sorrow knows. Young hero, rest! thy strife is o'er, And thou hast gained a sweet release; The bugle's blast, the cannon's roar, No more shall break thy spirit's peace. Westdale, Delaware County, Pa. D. B.
