So did Webb, who was on foot in the midst of the men. Entreaty, command, expostulation, encouragement, were employed. Webb was everywhere. So was Col. Smith, of a PennsylvanWebb was everywhere. So was Col. Smith, of a Pennsylvania regiment. At this time the enemy were crowding over the stone fence near the clumps of trees, and their red flags were waving, as it seemed to me, in triumph already, though Hall was all right and his men were steady on our left. Presently some one near me said that the enemy were massing their men in front of Webb, opposite Webb, opposite the clumps of trees, and we began to wish for Hall's help. By this time the officers had stopped the falling back, and were driving stragglers to the front, though we did not go forward to the stone wall, yet, but all were facing the enemy and firing heavily — not in ranks, for every one seemed going it pretty much on his own hoo

were using their pistols; the color-sergeant of the 72d Pennsylvania went forward with his colors, the lance of which had been shot in two. The soldiers followed him with a rush; no one wanted to straggle now. Other colors were borne as well, the wall was gained and crossed, and the work of taking prisoners commenced. Hundreds who threw down their arms and rushed towards us were sent to the rear. Here and there was a struggle for flags; but the battle was ended in this part of the field. Lee's great assault had failed. Going back with some prisoners across the wall and over the crest, I saw Gen. Meade, who came on the ground with his son, who was his aid. He stopped to speak to Gen. Gibbon's aid (Haskell) and said, in his sharp way, "How is it going here?" or something that sounded like it. He was told the attack was repulsed, when he repeated, "What, is the assault entirely repulsed." When the aid again told him he thought it was, he said, "Thank God," and made a motion to

with our men. As the 3d brigade (Hall's) came up by the flank there was a disposition, under the heavy fire to which it was exposed, to edge away from the stone wall, but the officers overcame this, and soon a compact body of men was formed, who delivered a heavy and well-directed fire upon the enemy as they came over the wall and rail fence towards us. Just then an officer, I think it was the same who had gone for Hall, Gibbon's aid, came over with some regiments from the 1st brigade (Harrow's) on our left, and from him it was reported that the extreme right of the enemy, which was opposite Meade, was breaking badly, and that men were running to the rear. This greatly encouraged us, and we cheered and went to our work with a will. At this time we were behind the crest which was between us and the stone wall, which was a little way down the hill towards the valley; and at the wall, between fifty and sixty yards from us, were the enemy, many of them over the wall.

Dr. Woodbridge is the Surgeon, Mr. McCuue Chaplain, and E. A. Keeth, Steward. Generals Archer and Jones are the only rebel officers now on the island holding that rank.

Johnson's Island — the Confederate prisoners there. Johnson's Island, the new Yankee prison, not heard of till lately in the Confederate States, is thus described in the Chicago Tribune: This beautiful island, which the rebels and the Copperheads call "Lincoln's Bastile," is situated in the bosom of Lake Erie, near the west end, and in full view of Sandusky city, Ohio. Immediately after the commencement of the war the United States rented thirty acres of land lying southwest and facing upon the bay, at an annual cost of $690, during the continuance of the rebellion. They then enclosed fourteen acres with a board fence fourteen feet high, erecting within two rows of barracks which, with other buildings, officers' and soldiers' quarters, hospital and commissary accommodations, cost $40,000. By the side of the fence, four feet from the top, a platform is erected, four feet wide, that is patrolled by sentinels continually.--The number upon it is eighteen, who are re

were able to do this because, as I have told you, the second brigade did not stand up to the line of the stone wall and rail fence, so that the division was bent backward in the centre, as it were, the ends on the right and left standing fast; at least so it seemed, for there was a great deal of smoke and a terrific noise to confuse one's power of calm observation. This was the pinch, and the officers knew it. Gen. Gibbon had just been hit, some one said, and almost at the same time Gen. Hancock was badly wounded, and both were taken off the field to the rear.
