FRIDAY", JULY 3, 1863.
THE INVASION.
Wo have glorious news this morning.
The rebel invader has been interrupted in
/iiis brief and haughty saturnalia, and com
pelled to accept battle from the Army of the
Potomac. As we supposed, yesterday, from
the information we had received, General
Meade, actingwitli swift energy, has thrown'
his columns against the army of Lee. Near
..the town of Gettysburg, in Southern Penn
sylvania, the rebels were encountered, and
■a fierce battle ensued The corps of Gene
ral Reynolds was hurled agaiust Long-
STiiEET and Hill, and the contest became
fierce, persistent, and bloody. Our troops
fought with unexampled bravery, and,
although we could have spared a thousand
•of armed men with less danger to the cause
■than "the gifted and gallant Reynolds,
■■Ti'c accept, the battle as a glorious event.
In other parta-of the State the intelligence
is not so pleasing. The shells are falling
into the peaceful town of Carlisle. "Women
and children are fleeing into the woods ter
rified and despairing. " A woman of Penn
sylvania has been outraged. Homes have
been plundered, and the accumulated, sav
ings of years ruthlessly stolen. Haughty
generals treat us with the air of masters.
This is what the rebels hay'e visited upon
Pennsylvania. These chivalrous warriors
have inaugurated tlieh'mvasion by the most
■cruel and ruthless deeds. This outrage at
■Carlisle—thia shelling of a town of women
■and childiwn without any warning—is one
.of the rjost malignant acts of the war. It
was not a necessary act, for already the
rebels have retreated, and Carlisle is evacu
ated. We look upon it as an act of wanton
* ness, and deserving the reprobation of hu
manity'. The cheek of the Pennsylvanian
should burn with shame to think that such
deeds are committed in his native State.
Our last news is, that the battle at Gettys
burg is still, progressing. The reader will
recollect a despatch we printed yesterday
from our Harrisburg correspondent, in which
it was shown that the rebel forces at Carlisle,
Cbambersburg, and York had withdrawn,
■and concentrated near Gettysburg. W. H.
F. Lee we know to have been before Car
lisle, Stuabt was manoeuvring around West
minster, hut those were cavalry and light
artillery forces. The great army is before
Meade, and so placed that retreat seems to
be impossible. If the rebels fall hack" to
wards Harrisburg, Smttu and his militia
are ready to meet them. If they advance,
it is upon Meade and the Army of the Poto
mac, and they must either defeat these two
armies or be annihilated. The Army r of the
Potomac never had such an opportunity,
tin cl we must strengthen it by our
own patriotic action. Let us continue
the work of enrolment and enlistment, so
that if Meade wins a victory, we can re
lieve his tired troopers, and assist in the
pursuit ; and if he loses, we can save the
State from devastation, We must be pre
pared for any event. We have not yet seen
the end of this battle of Gettysburg. We
do not know that it is a victory; the result
is withrProvidence. We must not be lulled
or charmed into a false hope, but labor con
stantly, earnestly, and with courage, until
this invasion is' repelled, the rebel army
crushed, and the proud soil of Pennsylvania
redeemed from dishonor and desolation.
As we are writing, at an eaiiy,lrour tills
morning, tlie news comes rushing in from
the East and West hopeful and joyous.
Eosecrans is advancing with his splen
did army and driving Bragg before him.
Grant is drawing the cords tighter
around Vicksburg, and our special de
spatches from the Army of the Potomac
give us comfort and encouragement. The
great battle progresses, and, at sundown
last evening, the Union forces were driving
the enemy. To-day will probably see the
final struggle. God speed the right! The
■slues look brighter, and it may be that we
shall celebrate our Fourth of July with the
defeat of Bragg, the fall of. Vicksburg, the
capture of Richmond, and the annihilation
of Lee.
Death of General Jolm F. Reynolds.
Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, has given
her thousands to the war, and her generals
to the army. Among all the latter there is
no name that has been more honored, or
that deserves to he more honorably remem
bered, than the name of John F. Rey
nolds, who gave out his life in the initial
battle for the protection of Pennsylvania
from rebel invasion, which took place near
Gettysburg on Wednesday last, the first of
July. John F. Reynolds was a son of
John Reynolds, the editor of the old
Lancaster Journal , in the days when that
paper was a Federal, as well as in the
days when, under the auspices of Jakes
Buchanan, it changed, not into a De
mocratic, hut into a Jackson newspaper.
In the school in which John Reynolds,
the father of General John F. Reynolds,
mingled, were many of the best specimens
of the old Pennsylvania interior aristocracy—
an aristocracy,as well of intellect as of
■wealth. They were men who believed, in
the homely virtues and the hard-working
qualities of practical life. The editor of the
Lancaster Journal, while associating with
■such distinguished characters as Baldwin,
Tilghman, and Gibson —all of whom occu
pied high judicial positions—and constantly
thrown into intercourse with many of the
leading men of the State, did not forget to
teach to the men in his own office, as
an editor and a printer, those maxims of
business life without which no man can
succeed in the end. And the same lesson
which he gave to his journeymen and ap
pi entices lie taught to his sons and his rela
tives.
JtJsjiHact jhat_3Yill_never._ be Joe-,
gotten in the middle'counties of Pennsyl
vania, that John Reynolds, the sociable and
high-toned gentleman, was at the sane time
hard, exacting, just, and generous. In
truth, that which he insisted upon in his es
tablishment, as a journalist, he apidied to his
household. Liberal to strangers, he was
frugal in his family. Hospitable to a fault,
he, nevertheless, looked after the smallest
expenditures. His printing office was a
model of ' regularity and of economy, and
his sons‘ .borrowed from his example
that which has been of so much benefit :
to them in the battle of life. Pour !
sons of John Reynolds, the editor of the j
Lancaster Journal,- were living before the
death of Major General Jonir F. Reynolds,
and they were all' eminent and practical
v ;tnen. One, the subject of this notice, was
■bom in the year 1820. Another, William
Reynolds, is a distinguished captain in the
navy, now holding an important command
under Admiral Dupont. A third, Jambs
L. Reynolds, is a leading member of the
bar in Lancaster county; and the fourth
-Samuel Reynolds, a successful ironmaster
in this State, These boys were educated in
the old-time school, tinder the care of
ia father who ought to be remembered
for his severe, practical, private eco
nomy, and his uncommon geniality in
public life. It is not out of place to re
mark that every male member of tills Rey
nolds family, although closely associated
-with James Buchanan, and almost cdu
icated under his tutelage, took the strongest
ground against his policy from the moment
he determined to betray the great constitu
ency which elected him President of the
United States.
•TonN F. Reynolds, who died a .major
general in the army of the United States,-
was never a politician. His education was
a military education. Bis associations with
Southern -officers and people had impressed
him with a deep interest in their insti
tutions and prejudices; and yet, while
disdaining to yield to the importunities
of politicians, it is to his infinite credit that,
on frequent occasions previous to his death
he did not hesitate to declare that he had
Unlearned all his regard for Southern insti
tutions, and was ready to fight and die for
his own section, and to approve the entire
policy of the Administration. His brother,
James L. Reynolds, of Lancaster county,
Pennsylvania, heretofore an influential De
mocrat, is one of the most effective and de
termined opponents of the present so-called
Democratic party, and one of the most ear
nest and resolute advocates of the policy of
the Administration of Mr. Lincoln. If Maj or
General John P. Reynolds had lived he"
would undoubtedly have reached a higher
position in the American army. He pos
sessed all the qualities of a great mnHary
leader. He was modest, reticent, studious,
and. brave. He was exactingiy severe in- his
discipline, but passionately devoted to his
command'. He had no mercy for a delin
quent officer, but an ever-present indulgence
lor the errors of the private 3oldier. It is
said of him that he never asked any one to
go in the way of danger unless he himseif
was in the front. He was not a babbling
generall. He never asked a question of his
superiors—lie obeyed l . In k the various
change of command in the unfortunate-
Army of the Potomac there is no living wit
ness who can say that John Fi Reynolds
ever-complained of his chief. He never be
longed either to the McClellan party, or 1
to the Hooker party, or to the' McDowell
party. When honors came to him, they
came not merely because they were unasked,,
but because they were deserved. We
may say of him, without disparagement
of General Meade, who is now promoted
to the command of the great Army of
Freedom, that he was the idol of the
great Pennsylvania Reserve division. He
was proud and pure. Constantly in the
neighborhood of Washington, he never ap
proached politicians, although' many were
hungering to bestow favors upon him. - No
letter, no speech, no word, ever fell from
our hero that can he distorted either to his
own discredit or to show that he had a
higher ambition than that concentrated in
devotion to his country. It may be that the
fact that he was selected as a cadet to the
West Point Academy by James Bu
chanan, restrained his expression of
the deep detestation which he -un
doubtedly felt for the shameless policy
of the last Administration. But he pre
served, from the beginning of his life to its
honorable and glorious close, the dignity
and decorum which should always illustrate
the character of the American soldier. *
MAJOR U&NERAL .JOHN V. REYNOLDS.
Major General John Fulton Reynolds, slain at
Gettysburg, on July Ist, was bom in Lancaster,
IS2O. He entered the West Point Military Acade
my as a cadet in 1837, having been appointed from
his native State to that position. He graduated on
the 30th of June, 1841, standing number twenty-six
imhis class, consisting of fifty-two members, among
whom were Major Generals H. G. Wright, Schuyler
Hamilton, D. O. Buell, I. B. Richardson, Briga
dier Generals Rodman (killed), N. Lyon, (hilled),.
J. B. Plummer (died in camp), J. M. Brannan, J.
Totten, A. Sully, W. T. H. Brooks; the rebel Gene
rals Samuel Jones, R. S. Garnett (killed), and seve
ral other officers in both services. On the Ist of
July, 1841, he was promoted to a brevet second
lieutenancy in the 3d United States artillery, and on
October 23,1841, he received his full commission,
On the 18th of July, 1846, he was promoted to
the first lieutenancy, and served in Mexico. He
was brevetted captain for gallant and meritorious
conduct in the battle of Monterey, with rank ditiug
from September 23, 1546; and f [ U t'iCi [Revetted
major, with rank dating from F*b7iuiry 23,1847, for
BiffliiM' gallant COP,Suet at the battle of Buena Vista.
Both these brevets were awarded by Congress in
August, 1848, During February, 1552, he acted as
aid to Gen. Wool, and on the 3d of March, 1855, he
received his full commission as captain of artillery.
He was particularly distinguished for-bVave conduct
during the several conflicts with the Indians near
the Rogue river, in Oregon, during the year 1556.
In 1859 he commanded Company O, of the 3d
Artillery, and stood No. 37 on the lineal roll
of United States artillery officers. The regiment
at this time was scattered in companies and
sections throughout the West and Southwest.
Deaths and resignations raised him three on.the.
lineal roll during the next year, lie standing then
No. 34. At the commencement oi IS6I he held the
appointment of Lieutenant Colonel, commandant
of West Point Cadets, which position lie held at the
opening of the rebellion. He waß also instructor of
cavalry, artillery, and infantry tactiCß at the mili
tary academy. .On the I4th of May, 1861, Brevet
Major Reynolds was appointed Lieutenant
Colonel «f the 14th United States Infantry,
one of the new regiments, and* on the 20tli
of August, 1861, was. commissioned as Brigadier
General of volunteers, and placed in command
of the Pennsylvania Reserves. Within the last
year he was appointed major general of volunteers.
In September, .1861, he commanded at Cheat Moun
tain, Virginia, when the rebels, under Gen. Robert
E. Lee, attacked him in strong force, and tried to
drive him from his position. They were repulsed
handsomely several times, and .finally retired. In
1862, General Reynolds was attached to the Army
of the Fotomao. He served with gallantry in all
the battles of that army in that memorable year.
In September, when Pennsylvania was threatened
with invasion, he was placed in command of the
forces organized for the defence ef the .State,, and
to his skill and energy we were greatly indebted for
the check given to the enemy. He commanded a di
vision under Burnside, and when General Hooker
was placed in command he was assigned the first
army corps.

Major-General John Fulton Reynolds.
JULY 1, 1883,'
They do not perish as do common nien,jgft
Who for fair Freedom die in gloriousstrtfe;
Death is,to them the priceless diadem y
Which crowns the grandeur of a royallife.
Nor do they leave us as the sun the sky -v
Deserts, leaving the heavens to barren night—
Not into darkness do their great souls go,
But proudly vanish in excess of light.
“ Though Death be waiting in the path I tread,
Exulting in his knowledge of my fate,
I will not turn aside. Duty I know
Greater than he, though he, alas ! is great.”
Thus thinking, rode he at the Army’s head.
Death smiled; but Duty raised her eyes to God,
And robed in glory came to him the twain;
She clasped the soiil, and he embraced the clod.
He died. He leaves unto his slayers, shame;
Tears to his country, and a nobler pride,
.To think what splendors glorify his name,
How well he lived, and in what cause he died.
Two Results of the Invasion.
The invasion of the North by the rebel
army should forever destroy two evils, the,
existence of which has alone made invasion
possible. These evils are contempt of the
negro and sympathy with the rebellion.
That either evil will be completely destroyed
we cannot hope. Our optimism: is not
absolute. Those who have hitherto, with
perfect knowledge of the truth, persisted in
falsehood, are beyond the possibility of re
formation. Insult to their own States,
danger to their own homes, will not teach
them repentance ; they will rather exult ia
misfortunes which they helped 'to create,
and will claim as fulfilments of their pre
dictions, calamities which are merely con
sequenceS-Of their disloyalty. The invasion
will increase the sympathy of such men
with the rebellion ; they gladly hail it as a
proof of Northern weakness, if not of South
ern strength.,. But the bold march of Lee
into the fair valley of the Cumber!md, the
tribute he exacted from York,- the robbery
of Hagerstown and Chambersburg, the in
sult to the State, will have very different in
fluence upon thousands of their deluded fol
laivp.r-. —fPIiA-mon who-wexe falsely, taught
that the rebellion is a defence of Southern
liberties, will know the emptiness of such a
pretence, when they feel it a. 3 an outrage on
Northern honor. They are not likely to
believe that the rebel leaders are so very
anxious-to secure peace, when they find
them resolutely. bent upon war. Can the
stem argument of rebel arms Jail to refute*
the flimsy sophistry of disloyal words ? Can
any man of ordinary intelligence believe tlie
vague assurances of Vallandigham in the
face of their flat contradiction by Lee ?
v The invasion of Pennsylvania is a prac
tical refutation of every word uttered at alb
the peace meetings since the war began - if
is an expression of SoutMirn contempt for
Northern meanness ; it destroys the hypo
thesis upon which the present opposition to
the Government is based ; it proves that the
election of a Governor of Pennsylvania upon
the platform of the Democratic State Con
vention would he unnecessary servility,
which the rebel Government would; despise
and reject ; more tljan all, it decisively esta
blishes the fundamental truth, upon which
all our action must he grounded, "that the
only path to an honorable peace is trium
phant and conclusive war. Henceforth, in
outraged Pennsylvania, at least, sympathy'
with the rebellion must be limited to the ig
norant, utterly incapable of seeing the truth,
or the intelligent, naturally enamored of
falsehood. This will be one result of the in
vasion. The other will be equally certain, -
■though less direct. The old pro-slavery
leaven, which still remains in the prejudice
Against our colored citizens, will lose its
power for evil. .
j That which is a fact a thousand miles
■away is hut a rumor at home, and the gal
lant conduct of the negro regiments at Port
Hudson, though fully admitted there, did
'not thoroughly convince the people that
; equal biayery is possible for the colored man
of the North." The invasion is the .means
by which the JMaak race vindicates its cou
rage and devotion.: It will be impossi
ble to believe that the Northern men of eo
lor are merely fitted to> be hewers of wood
and drawers of water, when the danger of
their country elevates them,-in a day, to the
ranks of its defenders. Those who hitherto
despised the negro must respect him now.
The men who form the new colored regi
ments are magnanimous enough' to forget
the long years of social oppression, in one
week of liberality; they have- forgiven the
fugitive-slave law, which tire' North es
tablished, for the sake of the Emancipation
Proclamation, by which the North atones
for that pitiful injustice. In rising, so nobly
to the altitudes of equal patriotism 1 and
danger with the white soldier, the colored
men of the North have won the- right ter
other equalities, which could in no other
ways have been gained.
Emancipation la Mlssouri,-
On the Fourth of July, 1870, Missouri
will be a Free State. The act of emancipa
tion passed by the State Convention on the
first sf July declares that-the State shall be
free in seven years. All slaves, however,
will still he held in servitude, until July.-4th;
1876. All slaves over forty years will be
held during their lives, and-all under twelve
years of age till they are twenty-three.
Alter 1870 no slave can be sold or removed
from the State, and, of course, no' slaves
can he brought into the State and held in
slavery. This act is evidently a compro
mise between the advocates* and opponents
of immediate emancipation and though we
must regret that feature which condemns
all slaves over forty years to-perpetual' ser
vitude, we are not desirous to-object io mea
sures fraught with, so much good to the
future interests of the Western- States.
Thirty thousand slaves are virtually libe
rated by this act; for this prospective- eman
cipation in effect changes slavery snto ap
prenticeship. No compensation is given to
the owners of slaves, which would have
been necessary had the Convention passed
an act of immediate liberation.
„ ■ Slavery in Missouri is'now-like a tree
whose roots have been eut, which lives only
iqjon the life within its trunk, and must
wither and die when that is exhausted. It
can draw no more vitality from the soil. A
great State has redeemed itself, and the
friends of universal freedom rejoice in a new
step towards its accomplishment. New
proof has thus been given that'the re
bellion for the extension' of slavery will
end,in its destruction. Western Virginia
and Missouri are already free, and Dela
ware and Maryland cannot long remain sub
ject to the curse of slavery.
The Streets.
In New York, where there are many
strange fish, Alderman Boole has not hither
to ranked precisely among the “ wisest, vir
tuousest, discreetest, best” of City Fathers;
However, as was remarked by that sage
philosopher, Linkum Fidelius, “ oircum
stances alters cases,” Boole, who has
just been made Street Inspector in Gotham,
took office with a voluntary pledge to have
the streets of New York cleaned thoroughly
in ten days. Tfeq ffft'qM, describing how
clean this new broom sweeps, say 3 that he
IS likely to do it in even less tine : “ Al
ready the piles of dirt anddust, which filled
the holes and ruts in the pavements have
disappeared. The barrels and boxes of
ashes and garbage have been emptied and
earned off, and the reeking filth that, lined
the gutters, sending forth the most disagree
able and unhealthy ordors,' is no longer visi
ble. These results are highly satisfactory
to the public, as well as creditable to City In
spector Boole. If lie only perseveres in
this, course he will achieve for himself an
enviable degree of popularity,,while at the
same time he will be of incalculable' ser
vice to the people. What is needed is not
merely the cleaning of the streets, but the
keeping of them clean when once the dirt
and filth are fairly removed. ’ ’ Sincerely do
we epvy New York the possession of a
Boole. As the Venetians prayed for one
hour of blind old Dandolo, so do we desire
such a street-cleaner as Boole, if but for a
week.
In the programme of our grand Indepen
dence-Day procession, issued by Professor
Coppee, as chief marshal, the concluding
sentence runs thus: “ Mr. Smith, street con
tractor, will have the streets on theroute swept
the day before, and sprinkied in the evening. ’ ’
. Will he ? It was ( stated, as the law, in the
City Councils on Thursday, that Mr. Smith
was to be paid, even though he did not
clean our streets. Therefore , we take leave
to doubt whether he will have the principal
■streets swept and sprinkled on the 3d of
July, as blandly suggested to him bv Mr.
Coppee. We should like to know whether
Street-Inspector ("late Alderman ) Boole
could not be borrowed or hired from New
York for ten days or a fortnight? Such an
officer is much required in Philadelphia. We
want some such Hercules to clean our Au
gean streets.
Colonel Thomas’ Regiment.
CCorrespondenceof-The Press.]
Lancaster, June 30, 1863.
Since I last wrote you, the 20th Regiment P. Iff.,
under Colonel Thomas, have passed through con
siderable of warfare. We left Camp Curtin on
Sunday week, and marched across the river, and
pitched, our tents for one whole night near tlie en
trenchments. On Monday, at dafbreak, we broke
camp, and were stationed by companies along the
.North Central Railroad to protect the bridges along
the road. Company C, Captain Shipley* was
Stationed on the advance. His post was less than
three mileß from Hanover Junction., On Saturday
the rehel Bcouts appeared on the hill commanding
the bridge and drove in his pickets. They were
mounted on fine large horses, which they pressed
from the farmers in York county. On Saturday
afternoon, Captain McOlintock sent out four scouts,
among them waa the writer of this. We found the
country,'both, in ourfront and rear, full of rebel
scouts. \Ve brought in two prisoners with us. On
Sunday morning, finding we were being surrounded,
We agreed, in the absence of hews, from the regi
mental officers, to fall back towards Harrisburg.
We took up our line of inarch at twelve o'clock,
and on Sunday night, at twelve o’clock, we
landed at Shank’s Ferry, three miles above
Safe Harbor, on the Susquehanna, having marched
a distance ,of thirty-two mileßv in twelve hours.
The following companies are here, having come
in since our arrival : Companies A, C, E, G-,
and L, respectively. under command of Captains
Smith, Shipley, McOlintock, Harry O. Snyder, and
Ashcraft. During the week we were at Bridge No.
86. We built fortifications in the daytime and did
picket duty at night. ’ Capt. Shipley lost three men,
•taken prisoners by. the rebels. Their names are as
follows: Win. Merritt, John Blum, and J. Burton.
Nothing but the firm stand .taken by Oapfc. Shipley
saved us from being gobbled up by the rebs. While
we were in York county we were charged triple the
‘amount for everything we purchased. For.instance,
15 cents per quart for milk, bread 25 cents a loaf.
Here in Lancaster it ia very different; ia : fact, the
whole five companies are fed by the citizens here,
and many a lusty. cheer has rent the air for the pa
triotic ladies of Lancaster.
I see military matters are assuming a proper shape
in Philadelphia. It is high time it did. I was told
by a Copperhead in the Second ward, a few days be
fore I left for Harrisburg, that there would not a
man enlist from our -Second-ward League; but he
was mistaken. Out of about two hundred members,
over fifty Are. in the 20th Regiment P. M m and we
are now looking Anxiously for the <! Democratic
Headquarters,” under the-shadow of the Hall of
Independence, to do as the Union League of Phila
delphia has done.
I might here mention that it haß been a sharp con
test between tho Assessors of Internal Revenue in
the First and Third districts, to see whioh could
send the most men for the defence of the State 5 but
-we- learn the First district takes the lead, IMr.
Keith himself doing the work of the absentees.
■While in Harrisburg I saw Hon. James ffif. Scovel;
he looked as brave and determined in.hio-shoulder
straps, as he feels patriotic in making' Union
speeches. v He has consented to give hia first; apeech
after his return from war. before the Second ward
League, an appointment that will .meet wifch great
favor in Southwark. This, afternoon we leave to
join the regiment at Bainbridge^heheadquarters of;
the regiment, where we hope good service ini
thecaUße of freedom.

importance which heretofore was attached to* the*
position near Harper’s. Ferry, the wisest plan
was to evacuate, and employ the troops stationed
here where they could be of greater advantage to
our cause. At Nolan’B-Ferry, three mites below-
Point of Bocks, the rebels have several pieces of
cannon, and between 4,000 and 5,000 infantry. Their
object undoubtedly is to use this ford for transport
ing the booty they capture in Pennsylvania into
Virginia. Three hundred empty wagons, many oF
them captured from us at Winchester, are-ready to
cross at this place on their way into Pennsylvania,
where they expeot to get them all filled- with stores.
On Sunday morning the position was to be held at
all hazards. The whole cavalry force was to
await the coining of a regiment from General
Hooker, when they were to proceed on a
BQOufcing expedition to Hagerstown, and as far
northward as it was possible for them to get.
But the expected cavalry regiment came not, and
the expedition was postponed indefinitely. Next
day—Monday-Yearly-in the morniageame the order
to evacuate. Instantly tents, were struck, baggage
placed in wagons, guna that were loaded discharged,
and the largest pieces of cannon taken on board
the canal boats, to be taken down the Chesapeake,
and Georgetown Canal to Washington. It was
about B.o’clock, Monday evening, when the retiring
column of baggage wagons., began to move from
Sandy Hook, followed closely by the troops, into
Frederick City. Everything was done carefully and
deliberately. Nothing was left.behind ;we brought
everything with us, save what was shipped on board
the canal boats. This corps will most probably
move in front of Washington, when Gen French
may have a much better chance to distinguish him
self than he would if hemmed in on Maryland
Heights, _ "»
Early on" Monday morning the Union people of
Harper’s Ferry began to leave, and before Tuesday
afternoon every loyal person who could procure the
wherewithal to evacuate Harper’s Ferry left in very
indecent haste. Every individual seemed to look
out for himself Alone, rushing madly to the front,
as if Ihey expected the “ devil to take the hind
most.” If it were not for their secession neighbors
there would be. no necessity for the general, flight,
but they use their influence to have every prominent
Union person they know harassed, ruined, crushed,
and, I am sorry to say, they have succeeded in many
instances. But the weapon they use is a dangerous
one, liable to cut both ways;:. ~ '
/ Before the troops had all left, one of those tragic
accidents occurred which is. much to be deprecated,
because it resulted from carelessness, killing eight
men, and wounding eighteen others, all of which
loss might have been prevented by a little precau
tion. The 6fh Regiment of Maryland Volunteers/
though inexperienced, were ordered to destroy some
fixed ammunition. The men began to break the
shells with sledge hammers, while the powder was ,
scattered profusely over the ground, A spark was .
emitted from the hammer, .which ignited the pow
der, and caused the tremendous explosion so fatal to
those engaged. , ' B.

-of the main body of Lee’s army.
Heavy firing haß been heard to-day in the direc-.
tion of the point where-Generals Meade’s and Lee’s*
armies-are supposed to-be. As the rebels are be*
tween this point and General Meade’s army, we ard
not in a position to learn what has occurred there,
Baltimore, July 2-.--The body of General Rey
nolds, who wan killed in the battle near Gettys
burg, arrived here thiß rooming, and was takon to
the residence of his brother-in-law, Mr.G-ildersleeve,
We regret to learn from an officer who brought
down the body of General Reynolds, that Brigadier
General Paul was killed in the same fight, in South
Gettysburg. s
Gen. Paul commanded the 3d hrigadeof the Ist
Army Corps. Colonels Stone and Wistar are both
wounded and taken prisoners. Colonel Wistar
commanded a Pennsylvania regiment (the Buck-,
tails), and the 2d brigade of the Ist Army Corps, and
was acting brigadier of the 2d brigade. General 1
Newton took command of the Ist- Army Corps, at
the fall of Major General Reynolds.
We learn from officers of Reynolds’ staff* that-our
forces passed through Gettysburg at ten o’clock yes
terday morning, and when a quarter of a mile west
of the town encountered the command of Long
street and Hill, and Reynolds* corps was in the
advance. It stood the force of the attack until re-'
lieved by the 3d corps, and a commanding position
was secured.
The rebels made strong attempts to flank our po
sition, but were repulsed; and, while repelling
them, General Reynolds and General Paul fell un
der a volley from the rebel infantry. They were
mounted, and at the head of their troops.
In thb course of the conflict our troops changed to
ri stronger position, and the fight ceased for the day
■ at 4 o’clock.
At the close of the evening tfie whole Army of the
.Potomac had reached the field, and Gen. Meade and
his corps strongly posted for the renewal of the bat
tle this morning.
The loss of the enemy was considered fully equal
to ours. Our loss in officers was severe.
Cols, Wistar, Stone, and others were wounded,
but our army was regarded as better concentrated
than the enemy’s for the events of to-day.
Baltimore, - July 2, midnight.—The
learns from parties who left Gettysburg at noon
to*day, that everything was progressing, favorably
for the ultimate success of our cause. Up to that
time, they assert that six thousand prisoners had
been captured and sent to the railroad terminus at
Union bridge, for transportation to Baltimore. The
7th New York regiment went to .the Bolton ddpdt,
to take charge of 830 prisoners, and have just es
corted them along Baltimore Btreet. Included ia.
the number are General Archer and seventy other of
fleers.
Gen. Schenck announced from the Eutaw House
that he then had. in Baltimore and at the Relay
House 2,400 in his possession. We learn that nearly
1,000 of these prisoners were captured, on Wednes
day by the 11th Army Corps, in the gallant charge
on Long street’s corps. They are said to have .at
first slightly faltered, but when Gen. Howard cried
to them to remember Chancellorville, they rushed
into.the fight like infuriated demons, and the whole
line of the enemy gave way before them.
During the early part of to-day, up to"noon, when
our informant left, there had been no general battle
fought, though heavy skirmishing had been going
on all the morning, resulting in heavy loss to the
enemy, and the capture of over 6,000 additional
prisoners. *
In all these skirmishes,/which were conducted
under the direction of General Meade, our arms
were entirely successful, but the enemy studiously
avoided any general engagement, and it was thought
that there would be none before to-morrow, when
it was said to be the intention of General Meade
to press the enemy along the whole line. Thtf
prudence and skill displayed by General Meade
in the management of his army, and the strategy
evinced by him in coping with Lee, had already
won the confidence of Jiis arid l$?
drew forth the strongest demonstrations of attach
ment. The army evinced a determination to win at
all hazards, and had been strongly impressed by
the officers with the dreadful-consequences that
would ensue to them, should disaster occur to our
arms injhe coming conflict.
The enemy was rapidly concentrating his troops,
and General Meade’s whole army had reached the
field of battle. ; .
General Couch was expected to press down
through the Cumberland Yalley on the enemy.
Midnight.— Over 800 rebel prisoners have just
passed dowh Pratt street, under guard. More are
expected to-night.

St. Louis, July 2. : —The VioksbuTg correspondent
of the Democrat says the conduct of the troops
during the operations on General Logan’s front, ea
the 26th, was very brilliant. As soon as the mine
exploded/ the 45th Illinois, led by Colonel M altbie,
rushed into the' breach, and planted its flag amid a
terrific fire from the enemy. Lieutenant Colonel
Smith was shot through the head,and cannot possibly
recover. Maj. Fisk fell with a ball through his heart,
being the third ahot that he bad received. „ A number
of line officers of this regiment were wounded.
■ The 23d and 56th Illinois and 17th Ohio participated
in the assault. General Leggett, in immediate
command of the aseailingforce,was slightly wounded.
After the entrance into the fort was effected, the
fighting was principally done with hand
which had a terrible effect on the crowded and de
moralized rebels. Lieutenant Colonel Riveß, com

manding the 20th Illinois, were among the wounded.

■" Our oitizens seem to be actuated by the proper

great objection to the manner in . which the good

while we have some 30 regiments forming, we have
.only a few that are complete and ready to move,
Keoraiting is progressing rapidly, but not as fast as
the emergency requires, and we learn that, unless
there skeleton regiments are filled without further
delay, a consolidation will at once take place. Men
will be accepted as readily by companies as by

not wait until the whole organization is complete,
but proceed at once to-that point where their services

street parade will be made this afternoon; Cheafcout
street being the principal'route. Most of the mem
bers of this organization have seen war service, and
may almost come under the headof veterans. Fine
robust, hearty men-they are.
The coal shippers have met with so much success
they intend to start another regiment. They held a
meeting for this purpose, and passed a resolution
that it should he done.
They were only twenty-three hours raising regi
ment number one,-and last evening at seven o’clock
they hAd nearly seven hundred men for regiment
number two. The gentlemen engaged" in this gteat,
patriotic work, tails about raising an- entire brigade.
Ifthey will it, the work may be considered accom
pliahed. They give from their own purses $25 to
each man above another bounties. Every retail
coal office is a rendezvous for soldiers ; the old flag
floats there and the drum is heard.
In consequence of this great movement, the coal
shippers have guaranteed to the United States
Government ail the coal necessary for its use, but
have cut off private supplies. Of course, private re
tailers have put the price of coal up. The shippers
say that people should do with as coal as
possible at the present!time, and not get frightened.
There will be plenty on hand by September to sup
ply the community for the winter, at prices less
than they are now.
INDEPENDENT CITY GUARDS,
This fine organization, started some time since,
have their armory on Spruce street, between
Broad and Fifteenth, occupying the second story of
the Westmoreland - Riding-school. The armory is
one of the largest and finest in the city, and can
compete with any in the country. It to
with neatness, and the,room afforded for arming ib
more than ample. On the roll ■ are 170 names, and
among the members of the Guard are to bei found
some of our most wealthy and influential .citizens,
who have borne all expenses themselves, being
in possession of muskets, knapsacks, haversacks,'
&c M of the first standard. The armory ib well
ventilated and lighted by a number of chande
liers. Each window is tastefully decorated with a
curtain bearing the stars and Btripea, and nothing is
wanted or left undone to promote the comfort and
efficiency of- the members. These drills take place
daily, and during the present emergency every man
is ruiuired to report at headquarters at least once
each day, unless detained by sickness. The-services
of the Guards were the first tendered to Gen, Dana
during the present excitement, and were at once
accepted by-that officer, and are subject to his call at
any moment, and for any duty. The Guards are in
possesion of everything that are required, except
their oamp equipage, and this will be procured as
sovn as possible. SA handsome Buit of colors, gotten
up: by Hie lady friends of the organization, will, be
presented to them onvtbe Fourth, on which occasion
a band of mtisic will be in attendance, and the .pro

The officers are as follows : Chptain,’ U. S. Marshal
'Vtm. Millward; first lieutenant, John E. Divine;
second lieutenant, J. O. Kelley. The privates are
as well drilled as old veterans, and are subject to
strict military discipline. Such organisations an

Headquarters Armt of the Potomac,
" -‘ July 2,1863.
The Army of the Potomac, or rather a portion of
it, under the command of Major General John F.
Reynolds, engaged the enemy yesterday and fought
the first battle of thePennsylvaniacamjpaign. The
result of the battle at this 'writing is involved in
some uncertainty..
. I was at Emmetsburg, in the vicinity of St. Mary’s
College, where I first heard the boom of the heavy
guns. A view from the adjoining mountains pre
sented the flash of guns at regular intervals, and
every indication of a regular engagement.
On arriving near the army later in the day, I
learned that an advance guard of the Army of the
Potomac, to the number of twenty thousand men,
had just emerged from Maryland, and entered upon
the soil of Pennsylvania, when they met a cavalry
force'of the enemy, under the command of General
Stuart.
The cavalry force threw itself in front of our
march, and General Reynolds, with the first army
corps, engaged it, when an extensive indiscriminate
running fight ensued. ' .
On reaching Gettysburg the fight became general.
Reynolds threw himself upon the enemy with
fearful impetuosity. , • .
For several hours the contest was desperate and
unremitting, only terminating at sundown.
Xiocgstreet wae in oommand. and it was said that
Hill’s Corps was a part of his forces.
General Reynolds was killed while leading a bri
gade to the advance. ,
During the early part of the day our forces failed
to make any impression upon the rebels, and fell
back one or two miles. General Sickles, however,
arrived with reinforcements, and turned the tide of
thebaUle.
The llth Army Corps, accused of behaving badly
at Chancellorville, must receive the honor of the
victory at Gettysburg,
The result of the battle may be stated thus :
advanced rapidly, met the enemy in force, at
tacked him with one corps, found him too strong,
fell back until joined by the llth Corps, renewed the
attack, and regained our ground.
By to-morrow, it is supposed that Longstreet on
♦he pne hand will have abundant reinforcements,
while Meade’s Will all be together,
Then we may look for the great battle of the
war. \ ' D.
THE SECOND DIPS BATTLE.
A. VICTORY REPORTED.
The Rebellion lias Received a mortal
Wound,
[Special to the New York Herald.}
Habrisburg, July 3—3 A. M. —The
second battle of Gettysburg to-day was fierce
and bloody, and from all I can gather, the
rebellion has received its mortal wound.
small arms, and the field are among
the trophies.
‘ A column of 25,000 rebels passed through
Dilsburg yesterday in. the direction of Get
tysburg. : .
Bat.timohe, July 2.— The American has the fol
low account :
Major Bumgarten and another staff officer of
Major General Reynolds arrived here "to*day,
from Gettysburg, in charge „of the body of
General Reynolds. From Major Bumgarten we
learn some interesting particulars of : the- battle,
and are happy to he able to state that it closed
for the day with the army of Major Gen. Meade
in a most advantageous position, either for attack
or defence. Nearly all the remaining divisions of
our army reached the field shortly alter the firing
closed for the day.
At 9 o’clock on Wednesday morning the Ist and
11th Army Corps reached Gettysburg, entering from
the easf side of the town, and marching directly
through to the west side,~~tiie cavalry force of the
enemyin the town galloping back as we advancea;
On passing, out of the town, the enemy "was ob
served advancing rapidly from the Ghambersburg
turnpike, in line^of*battle, towards the town, evi
dently endeavoring.to hold a position commanding
the town; ' =
The Ist Corps, under Gen. Reynolds,, was on the
advance, anJ puslied forward at the double quick to
secure an advantageous position. The enemy, under
Longstreet and Hill, advanced steadily, and in a few
minutes a heavy Are of both artillery and musketry
was opened along the whole Federal and rebel lfries.
The llth Army Corps, under Gen. Howard, was also
soon in position*, and for a time quite a- battle
rac , e d. Several' charges were made by the enemy to
dislodge our forces, all of Which were unsuccessful.
At 3 o’clock, the enemy massed his entire forces, >
and endeavored'to-.turn our right wing.; General
Reynolds’ advance met them, and a heavy- infantry
fight ensued, in which both suffered severely,
volley after volley of musketry being; poured
into the opposing columns with deadly effect. In
this charge Major General Reynolds fell; mortally
wounded, and died soon after being conveyed to
Gettysburg. He was, as usual, leading-hia corps,
and in the thickest of the fight.
General Paul, commanding the 3d- the
Ist Army Corps, was also- killed on the held, and
Colonels Wiatar and Stone- fell severely wounded
and were taken prisoners.
The field between the- armies was
atiewn with the dead and wounded, audit is said
that the enemy suffered fully aa heavily as we,
though it is not known wbat was their- loss in
: officers. ?
The effort to Sank our right-wing entirely failed,
and we held the prominent and commanding position
for which a struggle was made, at thA close of the
. fight, which ceased for the day at fou* ©.’clock P. M.
At this tirae two Dew corps o$ the army of
ral Meade reached the field, Mid moving to tho
right, the main body c£ our arsjy waain position to
meet any demonstration that the enemy might
make in the morning, or to advance upon him, as
the commanding general mights deoidc.
Tho sth Army Corps maintained its position
nobly, againßt the effort to flank its, right, and
scarcely faltered for a moment when its gallant
commander fell under the murderous fire of tho
enemy. .. v

through the Cumberland Valley,
Another Account.
Some gentlemen connected with the press, who
left Gettysburg before daylight, represent the con*
dition of- affairs a* still mote favorabJe and pro*
mising for a successful issue than appeared from
previous information.
They state that the rebels had held Gettysburg
for some time previous to the approach of our army,
and had commenced to fortify the hills West of the
town, where they proposed' to- check our advance
towards Chambersburg and the mouth of the Cum*
Deri and.
tfiorement of Gen. Reynolds, and the ra*
pidity with which he ad van ted after entering the
east end of the town, took them, somewhat by sur
prise, and he soon obtained the prominent position
which the rebels were fortifying,
The fighting the balance of the day was in futile
attempts on their part to regain this important po
sition, from which they were frequently repulsed.
Early in the afternoon, both Ecngstreet and Hill
combined their forces for a grand effort to turn our
right flank, when General Howard’s 11th Corps,
which .broke and ran at Chancellorville, daßhed in
to regain their lost laurelß, and most nobly did ther
repulse these two veteran corps of the*rebel army.
The repulse waß so complete that no further at
tempt was made by the enemy during thebalance of
the day, and the night closed in with our holding
the position chosen by the enemy to give us battle
from.
The 3d and I2th army corps also came on the field
after the last repulse of the enemy, but owing to
the fall of Gen. Reynolds, and the lateness of the
hour ab weir kb the exhaustion of the men, and the
desire to take care of the wounded, it was deter
mined not to push the enemy for a renewal of the
conflict.
When our informant left the field yesterday morn--
ing, Gen. Meade had arrived, and the main body of
the army was in position, ready to push the enemy
as soon as day should dawn.
Gettysburg is jußt twenty-five miles from Cham
bersburg, over a fine, rolling country, moat of the
way, which will ■ doubtless be the scene of the great
battles of the rebel invasion.

To Major General HaUcck, General-in-Chief:
I telegraphed you on Sunday of-the oocupatun of
Shelbyville and Manchester,. On.'Monday it rained
hard all day, rendering the roads impassable. It
was found impossible to move our artillery, or to
get our troops into position until;this morning, when
a general advance was ordered at daylight.
General Thomas yesterday made a reconnoisaance
on two roads, and General McCook on one road,
reporting the enemy in force at this place, with the
addition of General Buckner’s division, which ar
rived on Moiidwy eveulng. --
On advancing this morning it was found that th»
enemy had fled in haste last night much demoral
ized.
Strong fortifications, a small quantity of stores,
and three siege guns, are in our possession.
They took the road to Winchester.
General Thomas should be on their flank to-night.
Sheridan and Brannon marched into town to-day,

Philadelphia. July 2.1863.
The great-interest felt by all la the affairs of Pennsyl
vania Is having a mafked influence on business in Third
street. The inquiry for money has fallen off* and a ge
neral indisposition to operate in anything is predomi
nant. Gold is very quiet at 144. Government securities
look like improving, and the subscriptions to the five
twenty loan are the only items that show any life. The
records of the Inst two days at the office of Jay Cooke,
Esq, Government agent, are unprecedented, and the
people are coining forward all the more actively, now
that the free soil is occupied by a rebel host, and the seat
of the National Government seriously threatened.
Operations'at the Stock Board are of an extremely
limited character, and prices unsettled.' No one feels
like specnlatihg.while a momentous straggle is impend
ing, which may .have _a> very.great: influence in stock
matters; and until the rebels are thoroughly oirirof oar

companies whose property has been threatened, btrt not
disturbed, will, of course, be the more active when
