ON GETTYSBURG’S
FAMOUSBATTLEFIELD
Colonel W. A. Hemphill Visits the Historic Ground
Where the Decisive Battle Was Fought and
During Which He Was Badly
Wounded.
I left Atlanta Saturday, August Gth, on
the vestibule over the Southern railway
with my wife and daughter Julia to attend
the reunion of the blue and gray In Phlla-
Selphla, and also to visit for the first time
jlnce the great fight the battlefield of Get
tysburg. This has been one of the most in
teresting weeks of my life.
The address Sunday at the cathedral by
Archbishop Ryan to the gray ami blue was
patriotic and brotherly. 1 could not help
thinking of our own Father Ryan, during
the war, whose sweet poetry and ardent
southern patriotism made the southern
people devoted to him.
On Monday the chairman of the commit
tee and Mayor Warwick welcomed us in
Independence hall. I considered it a great
honor to have the privilege of speaking In
this historic hall. The associations and his
tory are enough to give inspiration to one
who is not easily moved.
On Tuesday wo had a reunited country
day at Washington park. A great crowd
was in attendance and patriotic speeches
were made. An account of this has been
published.
Philadelphia is a great city and the south
many friends there. I have visited k
several times and .very time my Interest
and pleasure increases.
t left Philadelphia for Baltimore, where I
met' rny friend, W. T. Dixon, president of
the Exchange National bank, who took us
in charge. Mr. Dixon was in Atlanta
several years ago. Jle told me that when
ever I wanted to visit Gettysburg tie would
bo glad to go with me. as he was familiar
with the battlefield, iie was as good as ills
word. We look the express on the Western
Maryland railroad for Blue mountain. This
road goes through a prosperous and r.eh
part o7 M trylaml. The scenery Is as pretty
as one could wish. We spoilt a most pleas
ant night at the Blue Mountain house, a
favorite resort of the Baltimore people.
The scenery from this place is grand. In
front is a beautiful valley as far as the eve
could reach, studded with farm houses. To
the right, was M.uiterey pass, through which
Lee and his war-worn veterans retreated
from Gettysburg. They passed immediately
down this valley tin.l I Imagined that. I
could see them, sad and weary, as they
retraced their steps to Dixie.
Early next morning we were on our way
to Gettysburg. After an hour's ride we
came to Seven Stars, the last station be
fore reaching cur destination. 1. remuth <1
that this was an appropriate name, for I
saw "seven stars," and mor.’, too, tho last
time 1 was here.
After leaving this station there loomed up
big Round Top. 1 had not seen It for
thirty-five years, but It was very familiar.
Then little Round Top, Seminary Ridge,
Cemetery Hill, all places that were world
renowned. We rolled into the depot at
Gettysburg. 1 a ist confess that I had
strange sensati ns when 1 plac'd my loot
upon Gettysburg soil. M'-mories un.l as
sociations came trooping through my mind.
Wo were met by Mr. S. M. Bushman,
president of Gettysburg National bank,
with a splendid team. The day was all that
we could wish it to be. We first drove
through the cemetery, then out Hancock
avenue and United States avenue to Con
federate avenue, t will not attempt to de
scribe tho magnificent monuments put up
by tire northern states and union troops to
mark the different places where they
fought or distinguished officers were
wounded or killed. The Held on the union
side Is literally covered with those monu
ments. The first one in our way was one
put up by the state of New York to the
memory of her soldiers that cost $140,099.
While there are thousands of union monu
ments, there is only one confederate monu
ment, and that was erected by West Vir
ginia on Culp’s hill.
The history of this battle is not complete
without both sides. The confederates ex
hibited more daring and bravery on this
field than any other. 'The first two days
r.suit'd in glorious victories to tile con
federate armies.
Jill! and Ewell, with their two fighting
corps, on the first day drove tfne union
forces before them, capturing the town of
Gettysburg, del'-ating ... i killing Major
General Reynolds, tin' federal general in
command. The gallant John B. Gordon led
the fight this day. The secund day i.ong-
: . . toriou veterans, rove
the federal* back and occupied a position
at l ight fur in advance of the one held
in t!;e beginning. The tihird day the f, ■!-
orals w ere re-, nfore d, besides having tho
pos.tlon on us. Tim eon t (derates attempt
ed the Impossible. General Lee occupied
tho outer circle, a distance estimated at
tw<nty-live miles, and the federals the in
ner . ircle. which made it an easy matter
so: them to re-enforce any part of their
lines if necessary. And yet, 1 fully be
lieve the northern side was more exhaust
ed than ours. After throe days of Liard
ligiitini;. we rested the fourth day. pray
ing that til" fo'l’-r.ds would .oine and
attack us and put us on tile defensive, as
w. did tin m. But they knew better; no
forward movement was made by them.
They were lit’ rally disabled. <in the fifth

t'-ry Hill tills day for the first time and saw
the strong position of the union side and
the long slope up which our brave boys

limf the pl ' ■ where tlm Troup artillery,
. , ~m , e . . Ga., commanded
by < •••:>!...it 11. 11. Carlton, thirty-five years
ago, . tilt second day.
Ui' i i i.i gui'lii: '■ "f Commissioner Major
Robbins we had no trouble in finding the
place. He had already two ten-pound 1 arrott
guns in ; si! "ii where ours were in tlm
ba’tl" that day; also two twelve-pound
howitzers wli re our two were in the open
ing of the light, these representing the
same guns of same caliber as those of the
Troup artillery; on our right the Richmond
howitzers and on our I Manly s North
Carolina battery. The places were ns fa
miliar as y sterday—there the stretch of
woods, hero tho hill, in front the rock
wall. 1 remember well how we came up
the hill at double quick. Near by were
Benning’s and Semmes’s Georgia brigades;
also Tige Anderson's, with whom was Ma
jor Ilillyer; with Benning was John O.
Waddell, wOio shortly before had been
transferred from the Troup artillery; not
far off Barkdale’s gallant Mlssisslp
pians—-all men who could light and who did
not know fear. We had no concern when
our battalion was supported by these gal
lant southerners. Immediately in front of
our position was Sickles’s corps. The fight
waxed hot; Sickles was wounded, losing a
log, and many of his corps were killed or
wounded. In after years I met General
Sickles at a banquet and told him that h«
was *he man that shot me. Ho retorted
that I was the man that shot him, and
playfully remarked that fie would have mo
arrested for It.
I Imagined that I heard again tho order,
“Forward Into action! Unllmbcr! Com
mence firing!” In my mind I was in com
pany with tho boys who had faced the ene
my without fear on many battlefields —
Yorktown. Williamsburg, Seven Days
around Richmond, Fredericksburg, Sharps
burg. I could see again one of the boys
hop up on the rock fence, clap his bands
to his sides and give thaaie cock crows that
could be heard above the din of battle. I
imagined that shell and shrapnel were
exploding in the trees and around us, kill
ing and wounding men and horses. I saw
again tho particular shell that exploded
above me; I felt again the shock as It
struck me. I again told the boys goedby
and walked to tho rear, and soon passed
General Longstreet and his staff, and
bloody and wounded as I was, raised my
hat to him and he returned the. salutation.
This all passed before me again. 1 sought
the creek where thirty-five years ago I lay
on the bank and had a friend pour water
on my wound. I again bathed my face
and scar in the stream made sacred to me
by the past. Wife, daughter and friends all
bathed their hands in honor of the occa
sion. Wo sought the farmhouse where I
lay In the woodshed three weeks in the
enemy's hands before I could be removed
to a regular hospital. The farmhouse
was found. The shed was there, as natural
as it appeared on tho day of the battle.
Wo refreshed ourselves with cooling
draughts of water from the spring that
cooled my parched and thirsty lips on that
eventful day over a generation ago. I
lived the day over again and my wife and
friends who were with me sympathized and
entered into the spirit of the occasion. 1
know The Constitution readers will excuse
the above personal allusions. 1 wish every
confederate who was in that battle could
revisit tho field again. It Is an ideal bat
tlefield, covering about twenty-live miles
of space. No prettier or more Interesting
place can be found.
1 cut a stick as a souvenir for Lieutenant
Motes, the. photographer, who commanded
tliie two I’arrott guns, and one for Captain
Henry Jennings, wiio commanded the
(howitzers, from tho place Where these guns
were in tho light. Two as brave officers
a.s the confederacy had, and both well
known Atlantians.
Tho commission is now ready to mark
the confederate positions. Contederate
avenue, one of the main avenues, is being
laid oft. The only trouble in tho way is, a
land company lias bought up the land
where tliie confederate Imo was estiblis.i
ed tliie second day. They want JWO an
acre lor land worm $25. Tne government is
trying to condemn and t.Uu .sufficient to
make these avenues ami positions com
plete.
I want to appeal to the southern states,
also tne various regiments and companies,
to go to work at once and place monu
ments in tile different places where the
brave men of 1603 fought and bled. T nis
lias been neglected too long. We need not
get expensive monuments, but something
neat and substantial should lie plan!
where every southern regiment and com
pany fungi'.. This battie should go down
in history as the crowning glory vt souta
<nt valor and heroism, the battletium is
sadly incomplete witnout tnese Historic tes
timonials.
T ue visitor to this battlefield, when he
sees where the confederates enlarged ano
fought, sometimes hand to hand with tne
leuurais, and when he learns from personal
uu.ll'll atioii W’lial a treni' iidous auvan.ig
General Meade i.atl over General Le- as to
position, will glory in tne <la: n ami
dauntless courage of southern men. There
is nothing to t»e ashamed ut (iiet'e, bm
everything illustrates American valor and
American grit.
t snail take pleasure in raising a fund to
build a monument wnere the Troup artillery
open'd the light on tne second day. It
is one of tite most conspicuous parts of tne
field, no visitor will visit Gettysburg with
out seeing it. 1 want it to point toward
heaven, and upon it will be inscribed the
dale and the hour when as brave a com
pany as was in the southern army, faced
without flinching the murderous onslaught
ot the legions of the north. 1 want them
confederate monuments erected, so that in
the coming years when posterity shall siv
these permanent and trutlhlul records,
the south will get her full share of praise
as well as the north.

THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, GA.. MONDAY. AUGUST 22, 1898.
(Editorial.)
Confederate Memorials at Gettysburg.
In an article published elsewhere,
Colonel W. A. Hemphill itella of his re
cent visit to the battlefield of Gettysburg
and urges the south to begin at once
the erection of suitable memorials on
that 'historic ground to commemorate
the valor of confederate soldiers.
Colonel Hemphill states that the old
battlefield fairly brisTles with monu
ments to federal soldiers, but that
naught savo the grass-covered earth it
self bears tribute to the sublime cour
age with which confederate soldiers In
that celebrated engagement fought
against odds which were well calculated
to awe the stoutest hearts. He says
that it almost made him shed tears to
see the achievements of his brave com
rades thus neglected when there wore
so many tributes of marble erected in
all pants of tho old battlefield to the
gallantry of the men who prevailed
against them.
In view of flhe honor in which the
south holds the devotion of her brave
champions in the dark days of the war,
as well as in justice to the records
which they made for themselves in that
prolonged struggle, Colonel Hemphill
contends that steps Should bo taken at
once to correct ttiis oversight. He says
that every confederate position at Get
tysburg should be appropriately mark
ed, and that other memorials should be
erected to apprise posterity of the fact
that the heroes in gray, as well as the
heroes m blue, are entitled to share in
the glory which that great conflict has
shed upon American valor.
This presentation of the matter cannot
fail to appeal strongly to the patriotism
of the south, and we feel sure that the
plea will not fall upon indifferent ears.
For the sake of preserving some sort
of equilibrium in the records of the war
between the states, if not for Uhe sake,
of doing honor to the purest type of
chivalry which the world has ever wit
nessed. there should be mo delay on the
part of the south in erecting suitable
memorials on the battlefield of Gettys
burg to commemorate the achievements
of confederate soldiers. Os course, it is
not necessary to erect expensive memo
rials. We cannot expect to imitate t'ae
example of the north in this respect,
but wo can substantially attest the ap
preciation in which we hold the valor
of the mon who vied so nobly with the
foe at Gettysburg, and who were twice
victorious on that bloody ground ere
failure came at length to deprive them
of tihe fruits of final triumph.
THOSE WHO WANT TO CAN STAY
That Is, as Long as the Government
Needs Them—Army Is To Be
Reduced.
Washington, August 18.—At midnight the
president announced his d" .'ision to muster
out of service from 75,0(10 to lOO.eoO of tho
xohinteers. Those to be di.' hargcl will
in.'hide three branches of the service—
hifautry, artillery and cavalry. The ques
tion of tho mustering out of the volun
t-.-rs h is been under eonsidenu ion for sev
eral days. It w:s quit" I'vldent to begin
Willi that a considerable force necessarily
would have to be retain-d. With only a
j,art of Hl" Vo'.unti r force, to bo mustered
out, it becomes a delicate question to des
ignate the org.mizai ions which should go.
From i promimn' official of the ad
ministration. it i* uii'l'TStood to be tho de
sir. of th" ;>!'• "I'ielit Io ast'orlain the wish
vs of the volunteer troops themselves, as
to roin tininiv in th- service. <>ne or two
org-.inlzaHons have indicated a de-
sire to leave the service as soon as the
K<»V' rnment can re.isos ably do without
them. They are composed '-'rly of bus
iness and working* men, wju.se private in
terests are suffering by reason of their ab
sence fr< in home. So far as the inter
ests of tho government will permit, it is
believed that the president in the muster
ing out of the volunteers, will arcommo
dale himst.-lf to tb.e d” Ires of the men
themselVi s. Within certain obvious lim
itation, thoso troops who want to be
musiercd out will b •, and those who de
sire to continue in the service will be* re
tained so long as they may be needed.
it may be sen time before the organi
zations to be mustered out will be desig
nate!, but the reduction in tho volunteer
forces will be made as soon as possible.
President Will Review Troops.
President. McKinley has decided 'hat he
will review the heroes of Sa nt i in New
York city. If his duties will permit. He
so informed ?dajor <General WheHer, with
whom In had a long conference today,
and who is to a .sume command at Mon
ti auk Point pending the arrival of General
Sha ft er.
Necessarily, the date for the proposed
revit w will be some time distant, as the
president's plans are that the soldiers at
Montauk Point should have ample time to
fully recover from the effects of the se
vere campaign in Cuba.
Some Want To Quit the Array.
Wa-shing-ton, August lll.—iSlmno of the

THE PRICE CURRENT REPORT.
By Private Wire to Atlanta Exchange.
Cincinnati. IL. August 1.8. Bj Private
Wire to Atlanta Exchange: Weather condi
tions have not changed Hie position of
leading crops in any essential particular
the past week. Much of Hie corn crop has
been made to appear fresher and better by
th.- moisture beeau.se of the lateness of its
lili'iiting and growth, but tills does not fur
ni.-c: a.-suram-e of good yi'. ld, and. In fact,
is unquestionably noticed that a lari- ■ part
of such grain is not likely to reach a . on
illtion of maturity if severe frosts should
occur early. Reports of wheat at prim try
i ll i!'**'ts on th" laryr crop are falling short
of' last year, both winter and .spring wii. at
m irkets. the latter showing the gr.aier
dirfet'iu'e. partly from the fact that the
"(led prices prevailing a year ago. but now
brought out liberal reserves in tlm north
aest altlhough the movement was far short
of the preceding year. The record for the
past seven wcekp shows a total of less than
15 066 000 bushels for primary markets. The
w'be.ai markets closed lower than a week
ago the speculative sentiment gaining mure
forceful influence from the extravagant
crop estimates than from the indications
of relative needs for the year and of con
ditions which should encourage confidence
in the outlook on flhe basis of current val
ues. The corn markets have weakened un
der the more cheerful view of the situa
tion of this crop, but the current market
ing is restricted and th** visible supply Fas
been lowered to a point below correspond
ing time last year, while the invisible sup
ply is largely reduced in comparison with
a year ago. The later information confirms
the previous indication of a disappointment
in yield of oats, and of light weight of this
grain.
Prime on the Crops. '
From The New York Stockholder.
Chicago. August 13, 1898.—Peace smiles
on the world! Every prospect seems to
please and in the words of the poet "only
man is vile.” And yet 1 have a better
opinion of the human race this morning
than J ever had, but more particularly the
race which the United States has run for
the last 105 days so triumphantly. Thera
never was but one conclusion in the minds
of our people and that was this: That we
should ultimately win, but the great ques
tion that bothered us was how long and
what sacrifices would we have to incur be
fore victory would crown our efforts u.s
they have today.
In the agricultural and commercial world
we have had altogether a rather quiet time
the present week.
'dhe weather has been of the same typo
that f wrote you uoout a week ago, naiueiy
cool and bracing, bolter for man and beast
titan n has been lor tho maturity of our
autumn props.
The trade also has been more or less dis
gruntled because the "poop farmers”
aouid not sit up nights and wont them
selves to ..death thresning tneir grain and
getting it to market at prices which at tne
present time do not suit them.
Last year at this date we had Jolg receipts
of wheat from tne western portion of the
winter wheat belt. This year they are just
the opposite.
Big grain receivers are still offering
prices 2 or . 3 cents abovu tho market for
wheat to till their contracts, but they can
not get it.
The tables may be turned after the
spring wheat crop, which is now in the
process of being harvested, begins to move,
and our winter wheat growers may be more
inclined to put their wheat On to the mar
ket than they are today.
This has not been a good week for corn.
The weather has been too cool and dry.
Corn now is passing from the milk into the
clough. I think the crop as a whole needs
fuilj- five weeks, if not six weeks, to ma
ture it. Receipts of corn have been fairly
good this week, but nothing exe*?ssive.
Already the great work of the preparation
of the ground for the coming winter wheat
has commenced. Th" ground Is in excellent
condition and there is every prospect now
that the seeding will I"’ early. Last sea
son It was very late? and the wheat got In
the ground In very poor condition.
As 1 indicated In my letter to you of a
week ago, the prospects then were excel
lent for autumn trad*?. We have not only
the prospects now, but we have the trade
itself, and wholesale dealers in every line
of commerce are great I.v encouraged with
the |ir* sent volume of business, which they
think this autumn will boa record-breaker.
All this of course means a great trade
north, west and south to all our railroads
centering in this city. Our great trunk
railroads will have business now both
ways. First, filling the wants of the peo
ph'. which after years of economy must
TU'i'essariiy 1"? I Tge. .and secondly, haul to

for 1S9 V . And on top of all this comes

Wheat trailers had nothing but bearish
news to begin with, but the opening prices
were a shade higher than were current at
last night's close. The. apparent strength
was of short continuance, prices for the
active futures getting to i-ic below the
highest notch of the opening in about tea
minutes and %c under Friday's closing
figures. The influencing factors were both
of foreign ami domestic origin. The quo
tations from Liverpool were !-?J down for
September and %d for the December. The
Italian crop was estimated at from 116,906,-
000 to 120,0t)i>,000 bushels, compared with
!i2.00 , f,00() the previous season, and the
French crop at 320,000,000 at least, after al
lowing tor some disappointment in pre
vious expectations. The must striking item
of news from domestic sources was that
