FROM THE 8TH CAVALRY - LIST OF KILLED AND WOUNDED Westminster, Md., July 4th, 1863. Dear Union:- I do not know of any better method of passing a portion of our National anniversary, than by addressing a brief communication to yourself, giving an abstract of events that have transpired with us since leaving Virginia. We left Aldie on Friday, June 26th, our division appearing to be the rear guard of the grand army, then moving North to repel the invasion of Pennsylvania. We halted for the night at Leesburg, the county seat of Loudon county, a beautiful town - more resembling our northern villages than any I have yet seen in Virginia. The next morning we crossed the Potomac at Edward's Ferry, and proceeded northwesterly, crossing the Monocacy river and passing through a rich and beautiful agricultural country, camping for the night near Jefferson, a small village of little pretensions or interest. On Sunday morning we arrived at Middleton, a pleasant village, nestled among the hills, a short distance from the celebrated South Mountain. It was here that the battle commenced on the 11th of September last, and some of the buildings show the marks of bullets fired during the contest. While waiting here for forage and rations, the 3d and 11th Army corps passed through hurrying forward to take part in the expected battle. We remained until morning, and then left in a northwesterly direction, passing over South Mountain, through Boonsboro, and old fashioned looking place, of one street, containing man of the square log buildings built by the early settlers, and from the absence of manifestations otherwise, seeming to be mostly occupied by secessionists. Bearing northerly, and passing through some small town, we crossed the Pennsylvania line in the afternoon, soon coming again into the mountains, beholding some wild and beautiful scenery, and receiving cordial expressions of pleasure from the inhabitants along the route. We heard of the movements of the enemy all the way, they having passed through two or three days previous, seizing all the valuable horses they could find, but doing little other damage. We camped near Fountain Dale, and at daybreak started for Emmettsburg, Md., southeasterly, arriving there about ten A.M.; it is a town of considerable size and importance, containing many fine residences; scarcely halting we proceeded rapidly towards Gettysburg, Pa., hearing along the route that a large force of the enemy were in possession of it, variously estimated by the excited citizens from 3,000 to 15,000. When we came within ten miles of the place we were told that they had just left the town and were preparing to give us battle on the Seminary Hill, a half mile out. We proceeded rapidly through the town, a most beautiful and pleasant place, receiving the most enthusiastic welcome from the citizens, who hailed us as their deliveries; cheers, bouquets and refreshments were tendered us on all sides, accompanied in many cases, by the tears of tender hearted women, for the fate of those soon expected to fall in the deadly strife. Young ladies in groups, were singing Union songs, to cheer the hearts of those who came to punish the invaders. We pushed rapidly through the town fully expecting to engage in a few moments with our foe, but were disappointed, they had left about an hour previous, falling back to meet their reinforcements, thus postponing for a few hours the shock of battle. The division halted in a large field near the Seminary, where we rested our jaded and hungry horses, who were almost exhausted by their rapid march and insufficient food. After an hour's rest, our squadron, Co's H and M, were ordered to proceed some eight miles out, in an easterly direction, to do picket and patrol duty, as it was expected the enemy would endeavor to cross our lines between York and Westminster, we relieved an infantry force, and fared luxuriously among the substantial farmers, procuring loves of bread of fabulous size, milk, butter and eggs in abundance, so that we felt compensated for our extra march. The next day we returned to within two or three miles of Gettysburg, posting pickets on the various roads connecting with Baltimore pike. About nine A.M. the boom of a gun announced that a fight had commenced near Gettysburg, the rebels having returned with a large force and attacked our division very near the place where we had left them; our cavalry fought them with varying success for along time, until our infantry came up and rendered the contest more equal. All day those peaceful hills echoed to the thunder of cannon, while the different corps of our army came rushing by to "join in the dreadful revelry." Of course you will have received all the particulars before this reaches you. On Thursday morning we rejoined the regiment which was lying some two miles from the town, it was here while we were drawn up in line to support skirmishers, that our company lost one of its faithful and trusty soldiers, Jonathan Macomber of Livingston county, who was nearly directly behind myself, being struck full in the forehead by a bullet, killing him instantly with out a word or a groan. May a just God have more mercy upon him, than erring mortals bestow upon each other. During the day our division left for this point, where supplies are received for the army via the Western Maryland R.R. We are now encamped two miles from the village, engaged in the double duty of picketing and protecting our supply trains, and recruiting ourselves and horses, for constant service and short rations had, to use a common phrase in camp, nearly "played us out". We are anxiously awaiting news from the front, as the battle was raging yesterday with fury. However, we shall undoubtedly soon have an opportunity of renewing our experience, whether our army is defeated or victorious. As I am hoping to get my letter off this morning I will close by giving an account of the casualties in our regiment, also stating that both the brigade and regiment received high commendation from superior officers for their conduct on the field. Our regiment had three killed, forty wounded, and about twenty missing. Capt. Follett he stated was killed. The following are the casualties in Co. "K" Corporal Edward Marnott, killed Sergeant Wm. S. Wilson, wounded, leg below the knee. Private A. Lyman, of Wheatfield, head " Thos. Tygart, Caledonia, knee " Enos Sullivan " " " Thos. Radband, Mumford, arm " Geo. Brown, York, leg " Linus W. Gibbs, missing " Edward Dubois, " | |||||
