And I point to that column, after that night and day of battle, after their terrible losses, after that fatal repulse in the bay- onet charge, their nerves shaken by all that they had endured, — I point to it marching steadily down that hill of death, while the heroic Capt. Geo. Williamson and another staff officer, with drawn swords, walked backward (face to the enemy) to steady them — never breaking into a run, never losing their order, — and BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG 187 I say, ^Then and there wa...s the supreme exhibition of their soldierly quaUties!' '^ I extract from my diary the following passage. Referring to the night of the 2d, I wrote: "General Steuart ordered me again to the hospital to bring up the ambulances. I did not return till half past three in the morning and so got no sleep. [I remember that I had just lain down with my bridle over my arm when the first shell of the Federal artillery came crashing over our heads. ] At four this morning the enemy opened fire, contrary to our expectations.
