AZTOTHER. BATTLE IMPENDING
YORF, Pa., July 5-4 P. M.
The fighting at Gettysburg, on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, was of the most desperate
e y n acter, and the tosses on both sides fearful.
Tine results may be thus summed up ;
on Wednesday the enemy attacked the ad
vance of our army, under command of Generals
Reynolds and Howard; driving them from Cash
town through and to the south of the town of
yeburg.
During Wednesday night and Thursday morn.
i s & the main body of our army, under General
tied_', arrived in the vicinity of Gettysburg,
pas immediately put in position, the forma
ti.Ni of the ground being such as to afford Gen
eral Meade the opportunity of selecting positions
or signal advantage. Late in the day, about
Lof-plet four o'clock, the enemy again offered
cattle. and for several hours the contest was
kept up along the whole line, with no decisive
irtatb. The loss of Thursday on both sides was
fearful. The enemy made several vigorous as
.milts. in some cases approaching to the very
months of our guns, but were as often driven
back.
In Friday the enemy renewed the assault soon -
after daylight, and after nearly twelve hours'
tl.•yrerate fighting was driven from Gettysburg,
leaving his killed and wounded on the field, the
whole of which, at the end of the engagement,
eta in the possession of the Federal troops.
ilaturday it became appitrene that the ene
re; had been too severely crippled to renew the
11.4?:11111. for early in the day General Lee with
,;,,.., hi:, forces from the town of Gettysburg,
falling back about a mile in the direction of
Caehtown.
General Meade at once took possession of Get
tpienc. which he now holds, the main body of
his army lying immediately to the south of the
town, in the position selected on Thursday.
tier troops found in Gettysburg large numbers
of the rebel wounded, and also recovered many
prlqoners captured by the enemy.
In every case the enemy made the attack, and
with a desperation rarely, if ever, equalled in
warfare; but were met by the Federal troops
with a gallantry, cool courage and endurance,
thsi made them invincible to every assault.
The slaughter was terrible. The killed and
wounded on both sides will probably reach forty
thenveed The enemy captured about thirty-five
hundred prisoners, mostly in the battle of Wed
nesday. We have taken about five thousand
pl isouers.
The rebels lost heavily in their general and
field officers. Generals Archer and Armistead
are prisoners. General Garnett is reported mor
tally wounded, and General Barksdale killed.
the latter was buried by our troops.
Generals Hancock, Sickles, Zook, Gibbons affil
Warren, were wounded. Generals Reynolds,
Pool and Weed were killed.
The reports respecting the death of General
Louggreet and the capture of General Hill, of
the rebel army, axe not confirmed.
THE OREAT AND DECTSIVE BATTLE OP
FRIDAY
HEADQUARTEICS, TIIIHD ARM' ColP9,
NEAR GNITTSBURO, July 4, ISEI3.
The tattle of Friday was the moat desperate,
most fierce and decisive of the war. It was
commenced at early daybreak on our extreme
left by a determined attack by the enemy with
musketry and artillery. The attack was met by
the Sixth corps and portions of the First and
the Fifth, the Third lying close at Land in re.
serve. The battle raged fiercely at this point
ter nearly three Loom when the enemy fell bask,
yielding to us the whole of the battle field of that
znaning, as well as of the previous day.
Nearly simultaneously with the opening of the
attack on the - left, movements were discovere d
on the right indicating that an effoet was making
to flank our position in that direction. Our ar
tillery on Cemetery Bill at once opened, throw
ing heavy volleys of shell over and to the north
and cast of the town: At this point we had
eight or ten batteries in position 4604140 by
earthworks. The enemy responded briskly to
cur cannonading, but with poor effect, and were
evidently much annoyed by our fire. They,
however, pressed their columns on to the right,
and very neon our infantry paved on that flank
and were earnestly engaged. The contest here
was even mare earnest and continuous than on
the left. The Twelfth and portions of the Elev
enth corps withstood the shock, giving never an
iuch of ground to their assailants.
The fight raged here on the face of a lofty
mountain, densely wooded, from the summit of
which batteries could command our position on
Cemetery Hill. It was evidently with a view of
gaining this petition that the enemy made the
aysault. For this purpose Ilill's corps, that bad
fought on the left on the previous day, was
brought around to the right to reinforce Earley,
and as the scheme was developed it appeared
that the early attack on the left was intended
merely as a diversion to cover this movement.
From a distance the progress of' the fight could
be observed by the curling smoke rising above
the woods, marking the line of the fierce contest.
In this struggle our reserved artillery was
brought into play, and did most excellent service
from impromptu positions on the elevated points
back of Cemetery Hill, shelling the face of the
mountain where the enemy were supposed to be.
This reserve "fire of shell, added to the steady
mid unflinching ardor of the glorious Twelfth
corps, ultimately checked the vastly superior
force of the enemy, who for an hour or two bad
been gradually advancing. At the critical junc
ture, about eleven o'clock in the forenoon, one
or two brigades of New York troops, supposed to
be militia from Pennsylvania, arrived, and wore
immediately thrown into position to reinforce
the right wing, which was being so badly pressed.
This arsistouee determined the fate of the day.
The eneniy quailed before it, and soon the curl
ing smoke that marked the line of -the contest
Leggin to recede, surely indicating that the ene
my were falling back; but if they gave away at
all it was but slowly, fighting at every step ; and
thus the battle raged fur hours, and uhui. after
noon, when the enemy abandoned the field in
that direction. But they did not yet yield the
day. For a period hostilities seemed to be sus
pended; but the suspension was very brief_
The rebel columns seemed to be moved as if
by magic, and within an hour their whole force
was massed directly in our front, and once more
the fierce and deadly contest opened. This time
it was an assault along the entire last
resort, the forlorn hope of the enemy. They
were weakened in numbers and dispirited and
utterly demoralized ; yet Lee had a reputation to
save and a name to make, and at any sacrifice of
life he seemed bound to win the day; but he
strove in vain. The Union troops were fighting
at home and among their own people. They
fought like heroes, and, inspirited by success,
they had no thought of defeat. They could have
withstood three times the force the enemy hurled
a ga inst them. It. was more play for them to
drive back the columns of the rebels, and so they
did drive them back, and at five o'clock, after
more than twelve hours' constant fighting, the
contest terminated, the national troops victorious
at every point, and baying nearly the entire battle
field ;n their possession.
At the close of the notion General Lee had the
impudence to send in a flag of truce asking a
suspension of hostilities, to give him time for
the burial of the dead and an exchange of psis
entre. General Meade replied t hat /ie h/ended to
recapture all the prisoners the enemy had taken, and
that he ,could bury their dead for then,. Failing in
this attempt to gain time, and badly worsted at
all hands, the rebels had no other recourse but
to avail themselves of the fast approaching night
to fall heck to the mountains. So precipitate
was their retreat last night that their guards and
sentinels in town were not relieved, and were
captured. •
It is exceedingly doubtful if we have taken
either Longstreet or Hill, an reported, though
the report is based upon statements of rebel
prisoners. Other reports say that Longstreet is
ealdly wounded, and some say that he is dead.

FROM GENERAL MEADE'S HEADQUARTERS
HEADQUARTERS, ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
Wednesday, July 8, ISO.
General Lee is still on this side of the Poto
mac, unable to cross with his army. His lines
extend to Sharpsbarg, ant are formed by Long
street's corps, whose headquarters are reported
to be at &takedown. The rebels were busily en
gaged yesterday in sending over their wounded
and supply trains on flat boats. Two wagons
are ferried across on each boat s and the crossing
necessarily progresses very slowly. It is not
believed that any of Lee's effective force has yet
crossed.
Lee is undoubtedly anticipating an early at
tack, and making every effort to render his posi
tion a secure one. Should the anticipated bat
tle take place, it will probably occur on or near
the old Antietam field. Our forces are rapidly
concentrating, and a desperate battle is impend
ing.
Generals Kilpatrick and Buford are annoying
the enemy with our cavalry, and have rendered
great service to-day. Over seven hundred pris
oners wore brought in, captured by Kilpatrick,
day before yesterday. General Gregg is pushing
the enemy at another point, and heavy firing
heard in the direction of Hagerstown to-day in
dicates that Lee's rear is hard pressed.
We have a report that General Buford engaged
the rebels to day, but no details have been re
ceived.
Every preparation is being made for a renewal
of the tight. The river is swollen to a great.
height, and is still rising. There remains no
opportunity for Lee to escape.
General Butterfield has been relieved from his
position as chief of staff. General Warren, an
able and accomplished officer. succeeds him.
General rad, reported killed at the battle of
Gettysburg, is alive although dangerously wound
ed. Hopes are entertained of his recovery.
The movements of our army are being con—
ducted with remarkable celerity, south Moun—
tain has been occupied, and Ilatper's Ferry is
in our possession. Yesterday there was some
skirmishing in the vicinity of Maryland Heights,
though no action of importance took place.
THE POSITION OF LEE'S ARMY,
FREDERICK, Md., July 8-10 P. M
Information which can be rolled upon comes
from the front this morning of the following
purport:—The rise in the Potomac has checked
the passage of the rebel army. A small portion
of Lee's transportation has been crossed on rafts
at Williamsport and Shepardstown, and his stock
swam over. His ambulance trains, with wound
ed, have also crossed; but his supply trains,
artillery, infantry and cavalry are reported to be
nearly all on this side. His first line of battle
has been formed on the Antietam fields.
Should this prove true, and it is certain that
he cannot receive reinforcements, he will be
compelled to• trust the fate of his army to the
arbitrament of a bloody field. Our forces are
gradually concentrating in that direction. • The
hopes and prospects of annihilating the entire
Army of Virginia are bright. The best possible
spirits animate the officers and men. At the last
advises Lee was concentrating his forces by
every available route. Fearing an attack, he
yesterday morning planted his batteries on every
road by which we were likely to am.reeek. 4
General Meade and staff have arrived at their
headquarters, having ridden thirty-five miles
from Gettysburg. Several corps are understood
to be nearer the point desired. A considerable
force has probably reached the-vicinity of Nil•
liamsport to-night.
HARRISBURG, Pa., July 8, 1863
News reeeived here to-day by telegraph, by
way of Loudon and Bedford, show that the main
body of General Lee's army is between South
Mountain and Hagerstown.
General Lee will probably select a place be
tween Hagerstown and the Potomac to give Gen
eral Made battle, as It is eonsidered utterly
impossible for him to reach Virginia.
General Imboden is at Williamsport, with from
7,000 to 10,000 troops, protecting the rebel sup
ply trains.
General Lee's wagon trtlin is at that point, to
the number of 4,000 to 6,000, making their way
into Virginia as fast as their limited means will
admit.
General Lee evidently sees that there is no es
eape for hie army, and is preparing himself to
give General Meade another battle, which will
probably take place on Friday or Saturday.
The authorities are throwing troops up the
valley as fast as possible.
general Meade army and the troops under
General Couch are moving as rapidly as the
roads will admit.
The rain poured down in torrents last night.,
and has continued to do so until twelve o'clock
to-day.
The present flood would destroy any pontoon
bridge on the Potomac, even if the rebels had
one, and it is positively known they have noth
ing of the kind.
Gen. Meade's Address to his Army.
OF.NERAL ORDERS-NO. 68
IhunguAlumna ARMY OP TIM POTOMAC,
NEAR GETTYSBURG, July 4, 1863.
The Commanding General, in behalf of the
country, thanks the army of the Potomac for the
glorious result of the recent operations. Our
enemy, superior in numbers, and flushed with
the pride of a successful invasion, attempted to
overcome or destroy this army. Baffled and de
feated, he has now withdrawn from the contest.
The privation!) and fatigues the army has en
dured, and the heroic 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 great
er efforts to drive from our soil every vestige of
the presence of the invader.
It is right and proper that we should, on suit—
able occasions, return our grateful thanks to the
Almighty Disposer of events, that, in the good
ness 91 His Providence, He hue thought, fit to give
victory to the cause of the just. By command of
Major General MEADE.

The operations of General Dix's command at
White House and on the Peninsula are success
ful, having chi off all direct communication from
Richmond and General Lee's army, and detained
a large number of troops in and about Richmond,
who would otherwise hareem° to reinforce Lee.
Cavalry Fight near Boonsboro.
ANOTHER BATTLE IMPENDING.
A sharp fight took place on Wednesday morn
ing at five o'clock, near Boonsbortt, between tho
Union cavalry, under Generals Buford and Kil
patrick, and the Rebel infantry and cavalry in
large force, under ✓Generals glitarf Ilinaplo II
and Jones. Artillery was used on both shies.
Our troops fought gallantly, but were forced to
retire to 13GOLIbIlOTO inch by Rich, which they
held to a late hour. and then drove the enemy
back three miles. It. was reported that General
Kilpatrick's force was surrounded and compelled
to cut its way out; also that General Kilpatrick
was killed. Later dispatches last night, how•
ever contradeted this rumor, although the Gen
eral was confined to bed yesterday front sick
ness. The fight was not renewed yesterday
morning. 'The rebels were reported to have
their pickets thrown out nearly to Bootsburo,
enclosing within their lines the Antietam battle
field and Shephercistown crossing. The main
force, however, is considerably west of this point,
and covers the three roads that meet at Williams
port.
It was thought that the attack of Wednesday
was a reconnoissance of the enemy to feel our
position. Our loss was quite insignificant. The•
loss of General Lee in the three days' battles
must be nearly thirty thousand, all told.
The skirmishing on Wednesday did not cease
until eight o'clock in the evening. There was
no fighting yesterday ; but last night General
Buford moved out with his division, and is push
ing the enemy towards Hagerstown, which the
enemy occupied, with his front extending from
Bakerevilie to Funkstown and thence around at
a distance of from three to five miles. None of
their forces are in the neighborhood of Sharps
burg or Shepherdstown. The rope ferry at the
latter place has been destroyed, and the only
means of crossing in the possession of the ene
my are at Williamsport. It appears that the reb
els found a large amount of lumber at the latter
place, with which they built flatboats. They
are ferried across by means of ropes stretched
across from shore to shore. It is reported that
the enemy has a pontoon bridge near Williams
port; but it is doubted whether it is available
at the present stage of the water.
General Lee is still sending over to the Vir
ginia shore his wounded and hie supply trains,
but no troops have yet crossed. Ammunition is
being hurried over to the Maryland shore, and
there is every indication that he intends to give
us battle at Hagerstown.
Both armies are evidently preparing for a de
cisive conflict, which is now imminent at any
moment. Our forces received fresh horses for
the artillery and a large supply of shoes yes
terday. The men are said to be..in fine spirits,
and anxious for battle.

MPORTANT FROM THE SOUTHWEST
SURRENDER OF VICKSBURG
ON THE FOURTH OF JULY !!
Official Dispatches from Admiral Porter
and General Grant.
The following dispatch from Admiral Porter,
announcing the surrender of Vicksburg, has just
been received by the Navy Department:

VICKSBURG, July 4, 1383.
To the MOD. Gideon Welles, Secretary of tlts Bratty
Sir: I have the honor to inform you that
Vicksburg surrendered to the United States
forces on this, the Fourth of July.
DISPATCH FROM GENERAL GRANT
WASHINGTON, July 8
A dispatch from Gen. U. S. Grant to Moor
General Halleck, dated at Vicksburg, at half
past 10 o'clock, on the morning of the 4th of
July, states that the enemy surrendered this
morning, and their troops were paroled as pris
oners of war. The movements of his forces
about to be made are detailed, but are not prop
er for publication at present.
HOW THE SURRENDER WAS EFFECTED
HEADQUARTERS GEN. GRANT, 1 .
Near Vicksburg, July 3-8 P. M. i
At 8 this morning flags of truce appeared be
fore A. J. Smith's front, when Major General
Bowen and Colonel Montgomery were led blind
folded into our lines. They bore a communica
tion from Gen. Pemberton of the following
purport ;
Although I feel confident of my ability to
resist your arms indefinitely, in order to stop
the further effusion of blood, I propose that you
appoint three Commissioners, to meet three
whom I shalt select, to arrange such term as
may best accomplish the result."
den. Grant soon replied substantially in these
words :
The appointment of Commissioners is un
necessary. While I should be glad to stop any
unnecessary effusion of blood, tho only terms
which I can entertain are those of unconditional
surrender. At the same time, myself and men
and officers of this army are ready to testify to
the distinguished gallantry with which the de
fense of Vicksburg has been conducted."
At 11 o'clock the messenger returned. This
afternoon Gen. Grant met Gen. Pemberton be
tween the lines, and after an hour's consultation
flatted the surrender_ Gen. Pemberton urged
that the soldiers might be paroled here and
furnished rations to carry them to their lines ;
in view of the bravery they have displayed, and
the advantages of the plan, Gen. Grant will
consent.
The number of prisoners, wounded, &c., it is
said, will be 18,000, of which 12,000 are in fight
ing condition now. The immediate cause of
surrender is exhaustion of supplies and ammu
nition, and the failure of Johnston to come to
their aid. At daylight tomorrow, our whole
army will enter triumphantly and celebrate the
doubly glorious anniversary Not a shot has
been fired since 8 o'clock from our lines, except
from the river mortars. A general interchange
of civilities extends all along the line.

DEMOCRATIC CLOP OP OLEY
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Demo
cratic Club-of °ley township, was held at the
house of Widow Kemp, on Saturday evening,
June 20114 1863.
The meeting was called to order by the Presi
dent at the appointed time. The minutes of the
preceding meeting were read and approved.
The Executive Committee reported a respecta
ble list of additional members.
The following resolutions were presented by
Mr. F. B. ',seeks, which were adopted, with
shouts of applause :
WHEREAS, It has become necessary, in the
course of events, for the Democratic Citizens of
°ley Township, to define their position 1, to
disseminate useful political knowledge among
the people," to defend'the Constitution and the
Union, not only against armed rebellion, but
abo against such people.as "glory in the spoils
9i our free institutions," and in the subversion
of our dearest rights—free speech—free press—
and exemption from arbitrary arrests ; therefore,
Resolved, That we, the Democracy of Oley
township, do now, as always, hold a firm, fixed,
and undying attachment to the Union as it was
and the Constitution as it is, and adhere to it in
letter and spirit.
Resolved, That it is the duty of every good
citizen to obey the Constitution of the United
States and of this State, and in accordance
therewith it is•their right, candidly and freely,
to discuss not only the laws, but the acts of those
in authority.
Resolved, That we protest, In the most em
phatic manner, against the arrest and forcible
abduction, by the military, of citizens from their
homes in States where the course of justice is
unobstructed.
Resolved, That while our Union and Constitu
tion are opposed by armed rebellion on one side
and by Abolitionism on the other—both being
treason to the spirit of the Constitution—the one
open and avowed—the other secret and in dis
gaise—it is the duty of Democrats, in co•opera-
Wen with all law abiding, nnion-loving citizens,
to use all the means in their power to counteract
the pernicious and damnable doctrines of Abo
litionism at home, while our brave soldiers are
sacrificing their health and their lives, in defence
of our homes, our institutions, and our rights,
in the field.
Resolved, That we would hail with pleasure
and delight any manifestations of a desire, on the
part of the States now in rebellion, to return to
their allegiance to the government of the Union.
Resolved, That the nomination for Governor of
the Hon. Geo. IV. WooDwane, and for Judge of
the Supreme Court, of the Hun. WALTER H.
LOWRIE, meet with our unqualified approval.
That we pledge our utmost endeavors to ensure
the success of those, the nominees of the Demo
cratic party, and that we recommend them to the
Union-loving, law-abiding citizens of Oley town
ship, as worthy of their support.
The ConatitutiOu was then read by the &ere-
