There two regiments of Rowley's brigade of my division, the 151st Pennsylvania and the 20th New York State Militia, under Colonel Theodore R.Gates, of the latter regiment, made a gallant charge, and drove them out.

Pettigrew's division, it is said, lost 2,000 prisoners and 15 battle-flags on the left.
While this severe contest was going on in front of Webb, Wilcox deployed his command and opened a feeble fire against Caldwell's division on my left.

Stannard repeated the manoeuvre which had been so successful against Kemper's brigade by detaching the 14th and 16th Vermont to take Wilcox in flank.

Wilcox thus attacked on his right, while a long row of batteries tore the front of his line to pieces with canister, could gain no foothold.

He found himself exposed to a tremendous cross fire, and was obliged to retreat, but a great portion of his command were brought in as prisoners by Stannard* and battle-flags were gathered in sheaves.
[* As Stannard's brigade were new troops, and had been stationed near Washington, the men had dubbed them _The Paper Collar Brigade_, because some of them were seen wearing paper collars, but after this fight the term was never again applied to them.] A portion of Longstreet's corps, Benning's, Robertson's, and Law's brigades, advanced against the two Round Tops to prevent reinforcements from being sent from that vicinity to meet Pickett's charge.
Kilpatrick interfered with this programme, however, for about 2 P.M.he made his appearance on our left with Farnsworth's brigade and Merritt's brigade of regulars, accompanied by Graham's and Elder's batteries of the regular army, to attack the rebel right, with a view to reach their ammunition trains, which were in the vicinity.
