Ini the shadow oast by the tiny farm bouse 16 by 20, which Gen. Meade.had made bis head quarters, lay wearied Stas’, officers and tired reporters. There was not, 'wanting to the peace fulness of the scene the! singing of a bird, whiab had a nest in a peich tree within the tiny yard of the whitewashed cottage. " In thef midst of its warbling, ‘a. sheli Screamed over the House, instantly followed by another, and another, and in a' moment 'the air was full of the moet complete artillery prelude to an in fantry battle that |was ever exhibited. Every sne'and form of) Shell known to Brit ish and' to American guhnery shrieked, whir led; moaned, whistled anil wrathfully fluttered over our ground. As many as six in a second., constantly two. -in a second, bursting and screaming over and around j the, headquarters, made artery hell oj' fire (hat amazed the old est officers. • They-’ burst in the yard—burst next to the fence i>n both.sides, garnished as usual with the hi(phed, horses of aids and or derlies.

'■ Then on a fell, then another—sixteen laid dead and mangjed before the fire ceased, still fastened by their halters, which gate the expression, cf being wickedly tied up to die painfully.' I These brute victims of a cruel war touched jall heaita. Through' the midst of the sterna' of screaming, and ex ploding-shells, an. ambulance, driven by its frenzied conductor at full .speed, presented to aif of us the marvelousj /spectaois of a horse going rapidly on three' lags..

The remaining pillar went, almost immediately to .the bowl .of a fixed shot that Whitworth must have made. During this fire the. houses at twenty' and thirty feet were receiving their, death, and soldiers jin Federal blue were torn to pieces in the rqad and. died with the ( peculiar yells that blend the extorted cry of pain-with horror and despair.

And splen didly'they did this work—the highest and severest test of the stuff that soldiers are made of Hill’s division, in line of battle, came first on the double quick.- Their muskets at the “ right-shouldeMhift.”; Longstreefs came as the support, at the usual distance, with war cries and a savage insolence as yet untutored by defeat. - They ,rnsfied,.,in r; .psrfect order across the open -field' up to-the very thuzzles of the guns, which tore lanes through them as they came.

So terrible'was our musketry and ar tillery fire, that when Armstead’s brigade was checked iu its charge, and stood reeling, all of its men dropped their muskets and crawled on their hands and knees underneath the stream of shot till close to our,troops, yhera.they made signs of surrender. ..They passed through our ranks scarcely, noticed, and slowly went down thotslope to the road in the rear. Before they got-tbere the grand charge of Ewell* solemnly sworn to and carefully prepared had failed. The rebels had retreated to their lines, and opened anew the storm of shell rnd shot from their 120 guns. Those who remained at the riddled headquarters will never forget the crouching, and dodging, and running of the butternut colored captives when they got under this, their friends’ lire. It was appalling to as good soldiers even as they were. What remains to say of the fight ? -It stag gered surlily on the middle of the horse-shoe on the west, grew big and angry on the heel at the southwest, lasted there till 8 o’clock in the-evening, when the fighting sixth corps went joyously by as a reinforcement, through the wood,- bright with coffee pots on the fire. I leave details to my excellent friend and qssooia'.e, Mr. Henry. ,My pen is heavy.

WELLSBOnOUOH, PENN’A: WEDNESDAY, The Union State Convention has been ad jourued en account of the absence of a great .number of the delegates from home, whence they had gone in defence of the State. The Convention will be held at Pittsburg on the sth day of August. THit'CIJNSTITUTIOrr AS IT IS-TO BE. Sous Smith, we think—once inveighed, bitterly against the Tranoendental ists,- who, bb said, had burglariously entered the temple of the language and robbed certain terms of their significance; and further had so belittled certain other words by oft-repeated and feeble repetition, that they had become a disgrace and a reproach to current speech. The Copperheads have brought certain ere tlme highly popular and significant terms into equal disgrace and shame. “ The Constitution as it is,” is the rallying-cry of the truculent demagogues into whose hands the disloyal rem nant of tbo old Democratic party has fallen. But who that has common sense believes the Constitution to be'a perfect; iflstrament, even as the offspring of tinman wisdom and fore sight?.'lts' authors made frank acknowledg ment of its inadequacy to.all and every emer gency that might arise, ih the clause providing for its alteration apd amendment. Wo notr-charge upon'the Wood; Vallandig hain, and Woodward politicians, a shameless and grossly wicked attempt to usoithis sense less rallying-cjry to deceive andmislead the peo ple. In evidence of the justice of the charge we give herewith thal3th,jXcasution adopted by the convention which nominated Vallan dig ham : ”13. That whonevec it-becomes -practicable to ob tain a Convention of all, or three-fourtbs of the Slates, such body should be convened for the purpose of pro posing such amendments to the Federal Constitution as experience has proved necessary to maintain that •instrument in the spirit and meaning-intended by its founders, and to provide vagniusfc-fntum convulsions .and wars.” This is a specimen briSk dftKS consistency of the Copperhead) Democracy. “ The Consti tution ns it is,” "About which the loading dem agogues ore bo blatant, means, —being inter preted in thp light of the foregoing resolution— “ IHE.OONSTITUTION ASTT IS' TO BE 1” —after these villains have tinkered it over to suit their perverted judgments. Now let tta turn to the platform adopted by the Contention that -put Judge Woodward In nomination for Governor of this State. That Convention sent greeting .and sympathy to i ts Copperhead brethren of the Ohio “ Peace Con vention/’ which adopted the foregoing resolu tion. But in one clause of its platform it says that, the man, who sneers' at “ the Constitu tion as it is/’ proves himself , to be deficient in THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. the first elements qf patriotism." • But in what must a party be deficient, which deliber ately resolves that " the Constitution as it is” is not adequate to the emergency; and must he amended, yet goes before the people with “ the Constitution as it is 1” emblazoned on its ban ners T "What lack ? i Why, lack of truth, con sistency, candor, common honesty, and finally, butnot leastly,—EßAlN3l Not to he irreverent, but true to fact, solely, this Copperhead party is led by men who have not yet shed their milk teeth.. Their capital Is reduced to a few stale tricks invented by i pothouse politicians, and hraggadocia that would disgrace a prize-ring, aa collateral. « The Constitution as is, and the Union as it was!” Mighty catch-words among the ignor ant and unthinking! But there is no public man in this or anjr other country, with any reputation to lose, who considers “the Union sis it was” possible I to be restored. Union—. more perfect, grander in' its nature and more fruitful of good to Man.—there will surely be, when this fearful.alrife is over; bntit will be a'Union of hearts, ho less than of interests— aUnion. without the gluring anachronism* and irreconcilable antagonisms that disfigured the old. Such a Union [will subsist without-slavish -sob'ser'viehce on the part of any, add l|e fired 'of sectional jealousy and Bale will be impossi ble to kindle. As calm, and - cloudless skies, succeed the devastating storm,wo peace, with its attendant prosperities, and fellowship; and fraternal love, with their amenities, shall sure succeed this devastating and sanguinary war. And this, despite the tricks of tow politicians and pettifoggers, and demagogues. • Thebe can be little conflict in opinion about certain things. For instance:— Some two weeks ago abonfone hundred men armed'themselves and prepared to resist^the enrolment in Center county. They werp con vinced that there might be danger of getting hurt, and dispersed] That hundred men will vote for Woodward.i At about the same time, the enrolling officer of one of the districts of Clearfield county, an infirm old man, was shot while psacably riding along the road. The assassin will rote for Woodward. At about' the same. time, a combination Of men resisted the enrolment in certain towns in Bucks county, killing tbs enrolling officer and desperately wounding a deputy. Those des peradoes will vote for Woodward. When the rebels crossed the Pennsylvania border, certain citizens of Adams county went about with their rebel friends, pointing out the property of Union men to bo plundered and destroyed. Those tories will vote for Wood ward. When the rebels held Chambersbarg,.ten in dividuals won pto the rebel commander and de sired him to parol them, that they might avoid the draft; in reply to bis question they affirm ed that they would prefer to fight for’ Jeff. i . -3ZK«fc ■njkpi Ten will vote‘for Woodward. * ; When the rebels: held York, certain of the citizens pointed odt the stores of the Union men that they might be made to pay heavy tribute or be stripped. Those informers and pimps will vote fori Woodward. When Harrisburg was threatened by the ad vancing rebels, certain of the business men re fused to lift a finger in defence of the city, af firming that they would as soon be under-Davis as Lincoln. Those men, with the villains who insulted the troops that went to the defence of the city, will vote for Woodward. JULY 15, 1863, The copperhead j papers which ridiculed the Governor’s first call for troops to repel invasion, and otherwise did Itheir utmost to discourage a hearty response by* the people, will devote their columns to the support of Windward. A few days ago a lady called upon' a wealthy farmer living not fat from Wellsboro, and ask ed him to donate a'few potatoes for the use of sick and wounded soldiers in the hospitals. “ I have plenty of'potatoes,” said he, “and you can have them for fifty cents per bushel.” That man always votes the democratic ticket, and he will vote for Woodward. And who doubts that every sympathizer with Tebellion in Pennsylvania,—men who bear the news of national disaster with so much more equanimity than tidings of victory that even the little children in our streets remark it—will vote for Woodward ? TWO SPLENDID VICTORIES! LEE'S GREA T ARMY RUT TO ROUT ! Silica our last regular issue jaur armies-have achieved most decisive victories, -and oni great and bloody, battle has taken jilaoe on Pennsyl vania soil, the resnlt of which was the total rout of the invading army under lee by the Potomac army under the load of Gen, Meade. We publish two j graphic descriptions' of the scenes during the three days fight at Gettys burg, and shall add nothing in this plane save to say, that Lee has been again brought to bay in Maryland, and! cnt off from an easy retreat across the Potomac. 4- - Vicksburg withjits 18,000, soldiers, ■ita.gnmd defences, great gttns, and munitions of war, was surrendered J unconditionally to the army under Gen.

The raiders, also destroyed an armory and large quantities of arms and military stores. v Later.— A. dispatch from the front repre sents that Meade has surrounded Lee’s army at or near Willsarosport, on the Potomac. Gen Kelly is reported on the Virginia shore with a force sufficient to prevent the crossing of the rebel army. It is said that none of the rebel army bad crossed up to noon July 12. Lee’s force is estimated at from 50,000 to 60,000, with 150 of artillery.’ It is be lieved that a great and decisive battle is immi nent. Our forces occupy Hagerstown. Long streets corps was defeated near Sbarpsburg and (lie forces driven several miles, ** An attack on Charleston is supposed to bo on the programme. ~ ■’ Later still. —Despatches to the Elmira Ad vertiser up to 6 P. M. of Monday, reports a great and bloody riot in progress in the Ninth Congressional district, New York City, in re sistance to the draft. . All the railroad men, and the employees in certain factories combined their forces and marched to the building .where the ’draft was being made, and proceeded to sszo tho papers and maltreat the officers con ducting the draft. One assistant Deputy Mar shal was so. badly beaten that be cannot live. Soon after tha’bailfjiug woe set ,on fire .and burned. Thafiremen ■" ware not permittedto throw water on the flames. Women were in the mob, fighting like devils. The Polios were overpowered and heated terrjbly. The provost guard was dispersed, after firing into the crowd. The most horrible outrages are said to have been committed by the ruffians. Superintend ent of Police, Kenedy, was beaten to death. This ia the fruit of the toleration of this trea sonable speeches of Wood and Brooks. Who is responsible? - [Tor the Agitator.] COMMON SCHOOLS. The people of Tioga County are justly jeal ous of the manner in which their publii officers spend tbeir time. Particularly are they weltoh fol and exacting of the County Superintendent. I do not complain of this, but receive it gladly as an evidence gl the earnest solicitude which is felt for tbe success of our common schools.', Considering the nature .and location of my em ployment, I trust that a considerate public will allow me t 6. -speak for myself as to, the amount 1 of labor I perform, without deeming me too eager to establish my reputation. In order to. give all a fair opportunity of judging as to tbe merits of the office and the fidelity of. the officer, I propose to establish from time to time, say monthly, short sketobe-s-of my labors in the several school : 4jstrictBj and to make suggestions to directorsp teachers, and citizens as in my judgmcntesiil be productive of ben eficial results. From my Monthly Report forjJune to the State Supi., I make the following extracts: “Certificates granted on examination, 1; No. of schools visited, 40; Average.time spent in each, 2 hours ; Timo taken up in talking to each school, J hour; No, of district Institutes attended, 1; No, of days spent in official du ties; 17; No. of miles traveled, 208 No. of official letters written, 28; Cases of difficulty attended to orally, 3.” It should be borne in mind that I did not - ! m till the eighth. One entire fostii lay was ing down” in the mud and rain thirty, miles from home ; another, by going to a war meet ing which, you know, must be attended to “ whether school keeps or not.” The schools which I have visited are located in Bloss, Covington, Covington Boro, Charles ton, Bichmond, Mansfield, Tioga, Tioga Boro Jackson, Middlebury, Ward, and Wellshoro. The school bouses id most of these Districts are below medium, though there are some praiseworthy exceptions. Tbsre docs not seem to be enough attention paid to the arrangement of desks and seats. Directors who have not bad practical experience in school teaching ought not to build a single echool house with out taking the advice of eqme well-known, ex perienced and successful teacher as to the ar rangement of the. School Furniture. Little or no echool apparatus has been found in any of the schools as yet. 1 suggest that a very little additional expense woald purchase a good globs and a copy of Webster’s Dictionary for the-uso of each school. Tioga, Wellsboro, Blossburg, and Pall Brook have each a graded school. They are entirely successful, and worth full twice os much to the scholars as schools requiring an equal numbs of teachers on the old plar. Covington and Mansfield should look to this matter: for they are fast running, behind, by neglecting to ac cept the improvements of the a°;e. Covington should prepare at once to build a new and commodious building in some retired port of the town. .She has nothing to lose in abandoning her old ones. Mansfield should finish off the old building so os to accomodate two or more grades,, or else provide for the ed ucation of her children in the model depart ment of the normal, school which I hope the trustees will soon (establish. One word more to Directors about those Annual .District Reports. The State Superin tendent has come to the very sags conclusion ‘ that he w.ill withold my first quarter’s pay till the Directors of each of the school districts shall send in their Annual’Reports 1 Avery happy expedient indeed I Withhold one man'a pay because another does not,do bis duty. But we must “ be subject to. .the powers that be,” And, I trust, the Directors, of this county will not let me suffer fpr'tßo want of money tp pay my honest indebtedness and to keep, business going.
