farm was established on the crest of a low ridge sheltered by heavy woods and the troops were protected in their position by a low breastwork of logs and rails varying from two to four feet in height time and again from 10 o'clock till 2 the whole right wing of the confederate army relied its lines on the slight works in continual breakers only to be shattered and driven back as the waves of the ocean goto pieces on the beach brigade after brigade dashed themselves against the salient of this low work to be shattered and broken and to retire with a loss so great that after 2 o'clock and throughout tlie most of the aferr.oon the right wing of the confederate line had so weaked itself by its brilliant tremendous and yet inaffective fight ing s to be practically incapable of ; further effort until much time had been consumed in reorganization but : even this fighting persistent and mar velous as it had been was surpassed j by the wonderful assaults of long j street's wing throughout the afternoon | upon the ridges held by wood nd braiinan and stedman for an hour alter the break took place in the union line on sunday the entire confederate army was assaulting the union posi tion breckinridge's division with helm adams and stoval was turning the union left and had moved far into the rear but helm's brigade striking the salient of baird's position had been effectually shattered its com mander killed and some of his regi ments almost annihilated gist and colquitt of walker's had fought with the same fierceness and the same want of success stewart in front of rey nolds and brannan with his three magnificent brigades of bate and clay ton and brown had pushed into the very face of the union line but still found themselves unable to carry the low works before them at the same time law's division of longstreet had rushed upon the front of harker mov ing across open ground and under heavy enfilading fire of frank smith's regular battery and up almost to the muzzles of the infantry's rifles in this movement kershaw supported hood and thus the union troops on the right had the full view and full experience of the fighting of longstreet's v tennis bushrod johnson in front of braiinan hindiu m before stedman with pres ton's strong brigades as a reserve al ternately assisting on one point and then on another of the ridge all these covered its long slope almost contin uously from noon till dark with lines of assaulting columns the splendor of such fighting as this is enhanced many fold by the fact that from the beginning to the end it was unsuccess ful fighting ordinary soldiers can be carried forward in a battle so long as success attends their movement but a test of manhood oi soldierly ability of courage and endurance which it is dif ficult to measure and which cannot be overestimated comes when through a long afternoon assault after assault seemingly in overwhelming numbers has failed and when the lineof each suc ceeding advance and retreat is thickly strewn with dead and wounded and all the terrible wreck of battle to say that in the face of such experiences the confederate lines were rallied quickly after every repulse and brought forward again to new and ever vigor ous assaults over slopes thus covered with honors is to say that all can be said in praise of the valor of the offi cers who directed the soldiers who executed these m irvellous storming parties turning to the figures of loss in inde pendent commands they will be found to show that this praise of the con federate fighting is in no sense exag gerated in truth language cannot exaggerate it the loss in lougstreet's wing reach ed 41 per cent and most of this was incurred ou the second day of the bat tie and the hirgesl part of it in little more than an hour on sunday after noon bushrod johnson's division lost 12 per cent the tenth tennessee in one of his brigades has u casualty list of os percent patton anderson's brigade of hind man's division lost 3d percent and most of this was in the afternoon of saturday among the regimental losses that of the ninteenth alabama was 43 per cent that of the twenty-second ala bama 55 per cent brown s brigade of stewart's corps lost 33.3 per cent bate of the same division 48.7 per cent and clay ton the remaining brigade 4'j.4 per cent and bate in one afternoon had three horses shot under him in clayton's brigade the eighteenth alabama lost 50 per cent preston's division in less than one hour and thirty minntes on sunday afternoon lost 33 per cent of those en gaged grade's brigade of this divis ion lost 34.8 per cent in a single hour while assaulting the position of gen braiinan on horse shoe ridge and th tot;il loss of the same brigade in the second day's tight was 37 per cent of grace's brigade the first ala leaion lost 70 per cent the sixty third tenn 49.7 per cent this brigade of gracie which suffer ed such terrible loss within the space of an hour carried into action 2,003 of | fleers and men and in this time lost !
