1863. |m. The Invasion.— The paralyzing effect in this city of the first announcement of the rebel ap proaohtothe Susquehanna, occupation of Wrights ville, York, eto,, passed away on Tuesday of last week; as also it began to be evident that the army of thePotomao was in motion and giving the rebels some uneasiness, • Yet recruiting was very brisk both that day and Wednesday. Twenty-four regi ments of infantry and artillery, and four companies of oavalry were announced as in process of rapid formation. Some of the efforts, particularly those of the Union League and the Coal Shippers, were crowned with immediate and brilliant success. A brigade of four regiments was rapidly forming under the auspices and at the expense jof the League alone. This was wise, both from the possibility oi disaster to General Meade’s army, which would give the rebels control of a large part of tbe State or from fear of sudden bold dashes upon us from a distance. Well would it be in tbe event of Lee s defeat by Meade, to have a large force in a position to aid in crushing the defeated army, and thus deal a death-blow to rebellion*n the East. On Tuesday, Juno 30, the rebels left Carlisle and York* moving southward; it was believed that their forces were concentrating between Chambersburg and Shippen burg to meet the advance of our army In York the rebels levied upon tbe inhabitants $150,000 in good money and the same amount in“ subsistence. $3O 000 had been collected and pud when the plunderers left, Notmng like this, we think, has ever been done by onr invading troops; and nothing has so touched and roused our business men, who prefer vastly to give in the way of equip ping and feeding onr own men rather than submit to exactions from victorious invaders. Money for raising and arming our troops wls never so abun dant as it has been since this announcement. General Pleasanton’s oavalry movements on Tues day indicated that the Army of the Potomac was on the alert. Besides clearing tbe rebel cavalry out of Maryland, a detachment under Buford drove the rebels out of Gettysburg. Neither was General Milroy, on the other flank, inactive On the °9th- Colonel Pierce with ,500 cavalry had a fight with Imboden’s cavalry at MoConnelsburg. on the west side of the valley. The rebels were driven out with 3 killed and 33 captured. Quite a number of rebel spies have been detected and captured in Pottsvllle and Reading. Rebel deserters are said to be surprisingly numerous. On the lst'of July, active movements from Har risburg may be said to have fairly commenced General Knipe led a; strong force on that day to wards Carlisle, which the rebels had just eva ousted, Our militia followed and ' re-occupied it, the oavalry coming in at 9 A.M., and the infantry from 3to 8 P.M. Meanwhile, the enemy reappeared between 6 and 7 o’clock, and a flag of trace was sent into the town, covering a demand for Its surrender. This was promptly refused by Gen Smith, when the enemy commenced to bombard tbe town with its unarmed and defenceless population! giving them no time to retire. Our artillery, replied vigorously. The bombardment continued'"lmtil 10 P.M.; our loss was 1 killed and 16 wounded. of the latter are among the Grey and Blue Reserves and Ist Philadelphia Artillery. The barracks and gas works were burned'by a detachment of tbe ene my. A number of buildings were struck, and some citizens were injured. The enemy then notified the citizens to leave, as they designed renewing ’the bombardment the next morning. But they did not remain to execute their threat. THE GREAT STRUGGLE IN PENNSYL- TANIA. The startling fact that the theatre of the war is transferred to the borders of our own State, and that the vallies inhabited and tilled by our frugal and prosperous German farmers'are fbrever in ter woven, as is the Potomac, the Rappahannock, the James and the Chiokahominy* with the memory of the straggle, not tosjeak of the prob ble decisive nature of tbe struggle justify qs in yielding a larger space than usual to tbe details. « Tbe conflict began on Wednesday, July Ist, though Pleasanton’s and Kilpatrick e valry had gallantly driven Stuart the preceding day from Hanover Junction and Hanover, Penn ylv nia towns close to the Maryland border. On Wednesday morning, Gen. Meadi s advance led by,Gen. Rey nolds, started from Emmetsburg Md taking the road to Gettysburg, Pa. When three miles from the latter place, the noise of a conflict then in progress between Bufrrd s art llery belonging to the cavtary mentioned, and a considerable portion of the rebel army was heard, A courier from Buford gave new impetus to onr men who hurried on the s accord ingly retreated in good order, while the rebels rush ed forward with yells to our position. On came the enemy’s fourth line, further to the light of the third, in good order, skirmishers ahead, until the position at the Seminary was reached, when they came forward wifh a rush, and occupied a hill we had deemed it worth while not to hold after the other was taken. On also came another line in sup port behind thjs, and onr cavalry on the extreme left began to retire. At this moment tbe field presented a true war picture. Across the fields to the right came the re bel line, with colors which fluttered in the pleasant breeze ; in the centre were two farm-houses, out houses, and barns in flames, and on the left the column of cavalry in retreat, while beyond all the ray- of the nun beat down through the showery cloud- and gilded every object with a peculiarly golden light, and over the heavens to the eastward streatched a magnificent rainbow. After our retire ment on the town the rebel advance was not pressed further. The Evening Bulletin of this city says: About 10,000 of our'men in this fight were engaged With 30J)00 of the enemy. During: Wednesday night about seventy five thousand of Gen. Meade's troops came up and took favorable positions for re opening tbe. battlo on Thursday morning, while at that period some twenty-five thousand other Union troop- belonging to.the Army of the Potomac were so near at hand -as to be immediately available for the conflict. 1 The correspondent ofthe New York TiTOeiTaays: The battle was sanguinary m £hc ex treme. Wadsworth’s division sustained the early portion of it with great valor, charging the enemy and taking a whole regiment of prisoners with Bng- Gen. Archer. We have taken fully one thousand prisoners and lost many, most of them being woun ed and in Gettysburgh, the greater portion of which the enemy held, utter the battle The po ltion of our forces after the fight of Wednesday was to the eastward,and southward of Gettysburgh, covering the Baltimore Pike, the Taneytown and Emmitts burgh road, and Still being nearly parallel with the latter. The formation oi the ground on the right andcentreWaS excellent for defensive purposes. On our extreme left the ground sloped off until the po sition was no higher than the enemy’s. The ground m front of our line was a level, open country, inter posed here and there with an orchard or a very small tract of timber, generally oak, with under brush cut away. Thursday’s Battle. Qmet prev iled until 4J P. M. Some ofthe troops improved the time by throwing up tempora ry breastworks and an abattis. The correspondent of the limes says: Whether or no it was Gen. Meade’s intention to attack, I cannot say. but he was hardly ready fpr it before the afternoon. The day had become almo t dull Skirmishing was now and then brisk, and the sharpshooters in the steeples and belfrys of the churche persi tently blazed away at officers and artillery horses. At' 31o’ clock, Gem Meade had received sufficient assurances to justify - him in the belief that the rebels were concentrating their forces on oar left flank The silence of the enemy , was ominous. At half past 4 o clock a terrific cannon ade opened uponour centre and left, from the rebel drattene which had been placed in position, having been masked by the woods and -grain fields. Our rifled guns replied with awful power and telling effect. For two hours the air seemed literally filled with the messengers of death. Suddenly a wild, demoniac yell arose from thousands ot rebel throats near the extreme left'of our line, where the enemy made his great attack. Sickles’ corps sustained this first terrific onset. ~ As soon as the design of the rebels became apparent, a large number of pieces of reserve artillery were massed, in a splen did position to oppose the rebel infantry. At this time the centre and left pushed the rebels, with loud cheers, from point to point, through the valley and up-the heights beyond. The enemy was secreted behind trees, rooks, and hedges, and in many places were bayoneted by our troops, or taken prisoners. A space of several hundred yards was covered by skirmishers situated between the left of the 2d Corps. Ist ‘ Division and the right of the next corp~ on the left. The rebels threw forward a heavy column of infantry, over powering the skirmrhers and filling the gap, deliv ering at the same time a deadly flank fire: upon our forces. It was then th t the gallant Colonel E. Cross, of the sth New Hampshire. Volunteers, commanding the Ist brigade. Ist division. 2d corps, fell mortally wounded, also Gen. Zook of Now York 2d brigade. Our forces at this point were compell ed to retire, hut only for a short distance, as they were soon relieved by fresh troops. In the mean time the rebels were slowly gaining ground on our left, and advancing in line of battle by brigades de livering volley after-volley. I have heard more noise, louder crashes in other battles, but I never saw or heard of such desperate tenacious fighting as took place on this flank. The enemy would often bring up suddenly a heavy column of men, and force our line back, only to be in turn forced back, by our own line of glittering steel Our gll nt columns covered themselves with glory over and over ogam. They fought a superior force m num bers. The dispositions of„ the enemy were very rapid, for look where you would on that field a body. of rebels would be advancing. Our dispositions were equally rapid, and the enemy found more than, their equal in such gallant voter ns as Sickle and Birney and Humphreys At half past six General Sickles was struck in the right leg by a piece of shell, and borne from the field. . The injury was so great that amputation became necessary aud it was performed successfully—the limb being taken off below the knee. The struggle grew hot ter nd hotter Tour several time the rebels charged upon that part of the army which was posted across the open plain, and four several times were ’ they repulsed with terrible, slaugh ter. The second corps was called on for aid, and though it~ own po ltion was strongly threaten ed- yet the.first division, formerly Gen. Hancock's flung themselves into the fight with desperation, and after a long and obstinate conflict the enemy slowly and sullenly gave way. In this last charge i the brigade of Gen. Caldwell. Second corps, and | that of Col. Switzer, from the Fifth corps, won ! great honors. The promptness with which this great flank movement of Lee was met and check mated reflects the highest credit upon the general commanding. Indeed, the troops were handled with consummate ability during the entire day. Gen. Meade was on the field, and often under very heavy fire, having everything under lus own eye and supervision. The rebels made frequent at tempts to capture our artillery, and at one time had Watson’s battery in their possession, but it was retaken in a furious charge byßirney’s division. The battle lasted till lully 8£ o’clock, when, the enemy fell back to his old positidn, and left om- vet erans the ensanguined victors of that field. Oar pickets were thrown out, and our lines covered most of the field, including a great number of the enemy's dead and wounded. I visited some portions of the line by moonlight, and can bear personal witness to the terrible ferocity of the battle. In front of some of our brigades) who had good Protection from stone walls or fences,* the rebel dead lay piled in lines like winrows of hay. In front of Gen. Webb’s—the Philadelphia—brigade, they lay so thick as to literally cover the ground. Not far from here was found the body of General Barksdale, that pnce haughty and violent rebel, who craved as a dying boon a cup of water,and a. stretch er from an ambulance boy. He is literally out to pieces with wounds, and must die- A great and magnificent feature of this fight is the splendid use of artillery. Though our ling of battle was only a mile and a half long, yet almost every battery belonging to the Army of the Potomac was more or Stinnitati and dkttfjscf (EonijcUat. less engaged. Everyone of the reserve batteries was brought into action, the positions for use being numerous. The enemy also used artillery largely, but not to so great an extent as we did. From this they suffered .immensely, and specially on the left, where canister was largely used. I believe we lost no artillery, unless it was two or three disabled pieces, though it was very wonderful we did n'ot. Too much praise cannot be awarded to the rank and file of our noble veteran Army of the Potomac, who have made one of the greatest marches on record of near two hundred miles, part of the time during the most intense heat, and at the rate of twenty or thirty miles per day, with knapsack, gun, rations, and eight pounds of ammunition to each man. Friday's: Battle. On Friday evening. July 3rd. at SJ P.M', Gen. Meade sent the. following, dispatch:— 1 From the Field near Gettyslmrg—To Major-Gen. JUalleclc, Commander-m-Chief—The enemy opened at IP.M-. from about ,150 guns concentrated upon my left cen tre, continuing without intermission forabout three hours, at the expiration of which time lie assaulted my left centre twice, being, upon both occasions, h ndsomely repulsed with severe loss to him, leav mg in our hands nearly 3000 prisoners, among them being General Armistoad and many Colonels and ■officers of less note. , The enemy left many dead on the field,, and a largo -number of wounded m our hands. The loss upon our side has been considera 'ble —Mojur-Generaf Hancock and Bngadior Gen Gibbon were wounded. After the repelling of the assault-, indications leading to the belief that the enemy might be withdrawing, an armed reconois sance was pushed forward from the left, and the enemy found'to be in force. At the present hour all is quiet. My cavalry have been engaged all day. on both flanks of the enemy, harassing and vigorously attacking him with great success, not withstanding they encountered superior numbers, both of cavalry and infantry. The army is in fine spirits. George G. Meade, Major-General Com manding.” ■ The Tribune in its account of Thursday’s and Friday’s battles, speakes of a furious encounter, on the evening of Thursday, upon our right, held by Slocnm, in which the enemy under Ewell after gaining some advantage, was checked and the bat tle ceased at 9j o’clock P. M. The battle of Thurs day commenced with a desperate struggle on the part of Slocum to recover the lost ground including some rifle pits left in the enemy’s possession. The correspondent says: On Friday morning, at 4 o'clock, Slocum’s line opened a terrific fire on Ewell’s men.. The enemy responded in amost furi ous dharge, i for which mode of fighting they are justly pelcbrated. The fighting on Thursday on the left, where Longstreet and Hill fought with most terrible desperation for three hours, and the subsequent battle on the right by Ewell, were re garded by the , oldest officers-in the army as the most obstinate and deadly contest of the war: Offi cers and men lay dead in fearful numbers. - But the enemy’s charge in response to Slocum’s fire seemed ten times more furious. With fiendish yell and such contempt of death, during six full hours they hurled their solid masses against the well-defended lines. The National troops stood like a wall of fire, whose flaming tongues enwrapped in death what ever came - near. Nothing during the war has equalled this six hours : of carnage. In ■ front of Grang’s position were more rebel dead than the number of the entire list of casualties in the 12th Corps. The dead were lying literally in heaps, many hit in all manner of degrees, from a clean shot through the head to bodies torn to pieces by ex ploding shells. At 10 o’clock Slocum bad repulsed and driven back tbe enemy at every point, and re occupied bis original position. The battle ceased at 11 o’clock, and there was a pause like to the stillness of death resting for three hours on the living and dead. At one o’clock the firing was renewed at different points along the line with a fierceness premonitory of the terrific engagement that ensued. Several charges wore made by the rebels as feints, their troops falling back after the first rush in every part of the field, except that held by their forees under Gen Ewell, who was seen to concentrate the infan-* try and artillery together, and who soon opened a murderous fire of cannon on our left centre* Then tbe engagement began in earnest. The firing be came a continuous roar; battery after battery was discharged with a swiftness amazing; yell on yell from the rebels succeeded each gust of shot and shell, until the valley—overhung with smoke from whence these horrible sounds issued —seemed alive with demons. It appeared at times as though not a foot of air was free from the hail of missiles that tore over and through our ranks, thinned, but not shaken. Our men stood the shock .with a courage' sublime—an endurance so wonderful as to dim even the heroic record of the band that fell upon the acre of Tourney. The corps against which this deadly fire was mainly directed was the Second, the posi tion being commanded by General Hayes. Horses were Bhot down by- scores, gun-carriages were de raoli 1 ed pieces dismounted, caissons exploded, whole batteries were swept away, and cannomers and officers killed and wounded m numbers almost incredible. No le than fifteen caissons were ex ploded on the heights, and two regular batteries on the nght of the cemetery were completely demol ished. Much of the enemy s firing was wild, and scattered near and far over the field. Gen. Meade’s headquarter - were forced to take refuge behind-the rooks no r Gen. Slocum’s headquarters. General Howard s headquarters were in the cemetery, and were raked in a fearful manner; men fell all around him. but himself and staff escaped* The silent abode of tbe dead was made, tbe theatre of deadly conflict. Tombstones and beautiful monuments were demolished; great holes were tom in the earth by tbe explosion ot shells, and tbe surface-checker ed with farrows. The artilleiy fire continued with out intermission for three hours, when suddenly, having been formed under cover of the smoke of their own guns, tbe rebel troops were burled against our lines by their officers m masses, tbe very tread of whose feet shook the declivity np which they .came, with ones that might have caused less daunt less troops than those who awaited the onset, to break with terror.' Not a man in the Union ranks flinched from his position. Not an eye turned to the right or left in search of security— not a hand trembled as the long array of our heroes grasped their muskets at a charge, and waited the order to fire. On'and up came the enemy, hooting, crowd ing, showing-tlieir very teeth in the venom of their rage, until within thirty yards of their cannon. As the turbulent mass of gray uniforms, of flashing bayonets and gleaming eyes, lifted itself in a last leap:forward almost-to the very mouths of ourguns, a volley of shot, shell, sohrapnel and bullets went crashing through it, levelling it as with a scythe. The carnage of this assault among the rebels was so fearful that even Union soldiers, who rested on their arms triumphant, after the foe had retreated be yond their fire, as they cast their eyes downward upon the panorama of deaths and wounds, illumi nated by the sun that shone upon the slope before them, were seen to shudderand turn sickening away. A correspondent of the Times thus describes the rebel charge, and capture of abrigadebyourmen:— The® there was a lull, and we knew that the rebel infantry was charging. And splendidly they did this work—the highest and severest test of the stuff that soldiers are made of- Hill’s division, in line of bat tle, came first, on the double-quick, their muskets at the light shoulder shift.” Longstreet’s Came as the support, at the usual distance, with war cries and a savage insolence as yet untutoredby defeat* They rushed in perfect order across tbe open field, up to the very muzzles of tbe guns, which tore lanes through them as they came. But they met nuett who were their equals in spirit, and their , superiors in tenacity. There never was better fight ing since Thennopyl® than was done yesterday by our infantry and' artillery. The rebels were over our defences. They had cleared cannoniers and horses from one of the guns, and were whirling it around to use upon ns. The bayonet drove them back. Butso hard'pressed was this brave infantry that at i ne time from the exhaustion of then am munition every battery upon the prinoipal crest of attack was silent, except Crowen’s. His service of grape and canister was awful. It enabled our line, outnumbered two to one. first to beat back Long street, and then to charge upon him,.and take a great number of his men and himself prisoners. Strange sight! So terrible was our musketry and artillery fire, that when Armstead s brigade was checked in its charge, and stood reeling, all of its men dropped their muskets, and crawled on their hands and knees, underneath the stream ot shot, till close to.our troops, where they made signs of surrendering. They passed through our ranks scarcely noticed, and slowly went down the slope to the road in the rear- The battle according to another correspondent, was not yet over General Meade was not deceived .in anticipating another onslaught. Lee s columns were collected: and reformed with magical haste.: .Within an hour what seemed to be-his whole force was. again massed directly m our front, where the contest .once more opened. The assault this time was made with a fury even surpassing that of the first. It would scenes if the entire rebel army had resolved itself mto A-gigantic Forlorn Hope and bore in its collective bosom the consciousness that the effort now made was the last and only one that could be made towards retrieving the fortunes of that army, or preventing the inevitable disgrace which hovered over it, It is said by rebel prison ers taken m the latter part of the engagement, that this charge was led by Lee in person. This assault .was m like.manner repulsed, and our men, in turn, pressed forward and drove the rebels from their position. .Offensive movements, were not initiated to any extant by our: victorious army. They had achieved everything that could have been demanded of them ; and Mr. Lincoln’s modest but congratula tory order on the Fourth of. July was timely and judicious.: The President to the Country. Washington, Saturday, July 4—10.30 am. The President announces to the country that news from the Army of the Potomac up to 10 p.m. of the 3d is such as'to cover that army with the highest honor—to promise a great success to the cause of the Union,/and to claim the condolence of all for the many gallant fallen, and for this, he es pecially desires that on this day, He whose will, not ours, should ever life done, be everywhere remem bered and reverenced with the profoundest grati tude. Abraham Lincoln. Dispatches of Saturday, pirst dispatch. Washington, July 5,1863—4 p.m.— The latest official dispatch-received here up to this hour from General Meade is dated at Headquarters Army of Potomacj 7 a.m,, July 4, which merely states that the enemy had withdrawn from his positions occu pied for attack on Friday. . The information in the possession of General Meade at that hour did not develop the character of the. enemy’s movement; whether it was a retreat or a manoeuvre lor other purposes. . ,■ i SECOND DESPATCH. Headquarters Army op Potomac, July 4 noon.—To Major-General Halleck: The position of affairs is not materially changed since my last dis patch of 7 a.m. We now hold Gettysburg. The enemy has abandoned large numbers of his killed and wounded on I shall probably he able to give you a return of out captures and losses before night, and a return of the enemy’s killed and woundediin our hands. George G. Meade, Major- General. .' Congratulatory Order of General Meade. Near Gettysburg, July 4.—The Commanding General, in behalf of the country, thanks the Amy of the Potomac for the glorious result of the recent operations. • An enemy superior in num bers, and flushed with the pride, of a successful invasion, attempted to overcome or destroy this army. Utterly baffled and defeated, he has now withdrawn from the contest. -The privations and fatigues which the army has endured, and the he roic courage and gallantry it has displayed, will be matters of history to be ever remembered. Our task is not yet accomplished, and the Commanding General looks to the army for greater efforts to drive from our soil every vestige of the presence of the invader.. It is right and proper that we should, on a suitable occasion, jetum our grateful thanks to the Almightjr.Disppser of .events, that in'the good ness of His Providence ( He has thought fit to give victory to the cause offthe just. By command of ...... ' Major General Meade. Retreat of the Enemy. On Sabbath July sth, it became evident that Lee had retreated.' Their rear guard was believed to have passed through Emmcttsburg in Md., on the night of Saturday. A telegram was received in Washington from Gen. French at Frederick stating that he had justsucceedcdin destroying the enemy’ s Pontoon bridge over the Potomac at Williamsport. As the river has been swollen by recent rains so as to be unfordable f it does not appear how Lee can cross unless he passes as high up as Hancock, in which case our victorious army could reach the valley of the Shenandoah before the arrival of Lee. It has been surmised that the bridge destroyed was not at Williamsport? but at Falling Waters, six miles below ; the bridge at Williamsport being too strongly, guarded for our party to reach it. Our cavalry are on the edemay’s rear, and on Saturday it was said that.Col.] Kilpatrick, had captured a retreating train of, wagons, with 900 prisoners and 2 giins, near Monterey. Gen. Couch’s troops from Harrisburg were promptly sent forward, while Gen. Pierce, with Gen MilrOy’s late command, arrived at Chambersburg from the West on the sth, and pushed on to Greencastle ‘where he captured 560 prisoners, ten wagon and 3 guns. On Sabbath afternoon, the 12th corps of our army having been preceded by cavalry, commenced the pursuit of the enemy’ moving from Gettysburg towards Wil liamsport. At 2 P.' M. General Mead’s Head quarters were at Creagerstown and would be in Frederick on Monday. This movement is doubt less designed to cover Washington_from any sudden movement of the still powerful remnant of Lee’s army. A despatch Received by Gen. Couch at Harrisburg, July 6, stated that Gen. Gregg, with a force of Gen. Pleasonton’s cavalry, had an engage ■ •ment to-day at Fayetteville, in which lie took 4,000 prisoners. Fayetteville is between Oashtown and Chambersburg, on the east Of South Mountain.— After disposing of his prisoners, • Gen. Gregg took an interior road, andj advanced ini the direction of Greencastle. The niUitia, under Gen. Smith, are in supporting distant from Gen. Gregg, and rapid ly advancing up. tbfe valley. Late despatches of Monday say that the- rebels have abandoned their wounded in their retreat, and they are now mostly in our hands. Wo ifave buried large numbers of their dead. Despatches from Bedford, J uly 6, say that General Fitz Lee, with three brigades of cavalry, comprising the Ist Division of General Stuart’s cavalry corns, were at Greencastle at one o’clock this afternoon. The force numbered2l,ooo men. A regiment or brigade left this afternoon in the direction of Merceraburg and another portion proceeded towards Hagerstown, where Gen. Pierce, of the 12th Pennsylvania cavalry, is ready for them. Later they say that a battle took place near Met cersburg this aftPrnoon between the rebels under Fitz Hugh Lee and General Pierce’s-forces. ..The firing was continued up to 9 o elockto might. > Our forces still maintain their position.
