TUE SITEATION
10 st—The news at this hour
from the front, is etridently , fitverable, both as
to the result of the battle yesterday and the po
sition of bur troops this morning. All the in
telligence that we could gather from official
and other 'sources, which can be prudently . toed,
impresses ILEI with the fact that General Meade
is master of the pcsition, and that the rebels
must fight him on his own chosen !round, or
flee and fight as best they can. General Lee
disfatched a flag of truce ,_to General Meade,
asking for time to. bury his dead. This was
promptly declined. It was the old dodge which
succeeded at Antietam, in • enabling, Lee to se-
cure the escape of his army at a tame :tent •when
M Clellau should hays .annittilated IL Let's
attempt to practice the same game orillteadei
shows the desperate strait into which he Jul
been suddenly forced.
Daring the stay of the' rebels in this State it
has been the expressed intention of Gen. Lee
and . his lieutenants to remain with us. lie has
made every arrangement whichhis shrewd and
scheming mind could conceive, to destroy the
Army of the Potomac; and, after this, to cap
tare Washington and dictate terms of peace in
treaty at Philadelpbia. The latter city was the
prise at which the rebels grasped in vain last
week and which they yet, hope - tb secure.
No one can deny that we have a decided strat
egical . advantage over Gen. Lee in the present:
contest. That we are numerically and materially,
stronger, we think no one will question. The . ,
Army of Northern Virginia is cainposed of five
corps, and is,organind with a view especially to
mobility and brilliant service. This army is•
directed by Gen. Lee—and General Longitreet
is his lieutenont general of
r detail and execu
tion. Perhaps no man in the United-States is
better fitted for his position, than the latter
General HaHeck. General Lon,
a life-long student of the art of war, and
in his military school far back in the State
of Alabama, the writer as seen the candle

fessor Longstreet, while he ' was poring over the

It was his boast that he had discovered anew

GIi,TALRY FIGHT AT HAHOVER
We have just conversed with an officer con
nected with.the Commiesary Deprirtment, who
was at Hanover when the cavalty of General
Pleasonton met that led by the freebooter
Stuart: He describes; the tight .to have been
one of the most terrific on record. The men
of both forces unalung: and thom away their
carbines, refused to use their revolvers, and
depended only, on the sabre for the aecomplish
me,nt of their work. Twice were the brave
fellows who followed Fleasonton successful in
repulsing the rebels. Twice these again re
turned to the charge, when atlength the Fed
eral cavalry, as if fmpelled with the force of a
thunderbolt, drove the rebels through the short
and narrow streets of Hanover, literally mat king
their flight in blOod. Those who survived with
their wounds, on bosh sides, are in an awful
condition: Carved and slashed, it is not pos.
Bible that any of them will ever be fit for day.
Those who fell perished under blows such as
were never before struck by any cavalrymen.
It was a fair sabre fight It was' such a fight
as the rebels have boasted they frequently
sought, but never found ; and the result proves
the superiority Of our cavalry over that of the
rebels. That fight will have a great effict in
cooling the mad ardor of the ctvalrymen of the
South.

Death of Gen. Reuben C. Hale.
The telegraph Informed the pe2ple of the
State yesterday, that the Quartermaster Gene
ral of Pennsylvania died at Res - deville, Mifflin
county, on Thursday morning, the Ist inst.
The announcement eli2lted the Inset pro
profound feelings of regret in this city, where
the deceased had a large circle of sincere per
sonal friends, and where he was highly esteemed
as well for his official urbanity and activeness,
as for his personal virtues and accomplishments.
As Quartermaster General of the State, Gen.
Hale won a wide reputation. Re entered on his
dilties at the time when the military resources
of the people were being developed, and when it
required the highest genius to mould and con
trol those resourcerso as to render them of the
greatest possible advantage in the crisis.
While.engaged in this labor, General Hale re
ceived injuries which hastened and Which thus
finally produced his death. - At Reading, keit
summer, he was thrown from his horse, the
effect of which was' to produce severe internal
injuries, which the highest medical skill could
not fully comprehend or relieve, and which
contributed largely to hasten his death,
Gen. Hale was born:in Hartfofd, Connecticut,
and removed to this State when quite young,
faking Mifflin county his home. He practiced
law in Lewistown with great success—and in the
active business interests of that county, was a
puntinent and useful man, so much so as to
have been identified with almoit all , the great
improvements and entApiises of that portion
of the Commonwealth. . •

''The rebels at Carlisle last night are supposed
not to have numbered three thclusafid. Why

Wills loyal General and a loyal Secretary of
War permit such language to be need by one
w;ho boasts that he Was assisting the very Gen.

fight the battles have a light to know who ie to
command them, and the people demand that

EsunstoßE, Friday, July 8.--/ 6. X
The Baltimore American has the followidg ac
count from Gettysburg, in addition to the ones
previously telegraphed :
"Major Bumgarten and another officer of the
staff of Maj. gen. Reynolds arrived here yester
day, from Gettysburg, with the body of Major
General Reynolds;
From Major Bumgarten we learn some inter
esting particulars of the battle, and are happy
lo be able to.say it closed for the day with the
aimi , :of General Meade in the most advan
tageous position, either for attack or defence.
Nearly all the remaining divisions of our army
reached the field shortly after the firing ceased
for the day.• • , e - ,
At 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning the First
and 'Eleventh army corps reached Gettysburg,
entering the east side of town, and marching
directly- through to the west side, the cavalry
force of the enemy galloping -back as we ad
vanced. On passing out of the west end of. the
1 town, the enemy was observed advancing rapid
-1 ly from the,Ohambersbutg turnpike in line of
battle toward the town, evidently endeavoring
to hold an advantageous position commanding
the town.
The First =pi!, under Gen. Reynolds, which
was in the advance, puked forward at double
quick, to secure an advantageous position. The
enemy, under Longstreet and Hill, advanced
steadily, and in a few- minutes, a heavy fire,
both of artillery and musketry, was opened
along the whole Federal and rebel
quite a heavy battle raged. Severed charges
were made by the enemy to dislodgeour forces,
all of which were unsuccessful.
At three o'clock the enemy massed his entire
forces, and endeavored to tern der right wing.
Gen. Reynolds advanced to meet them, and a
heavy infantry fight ensued, in which - both al
tered severely, volley allot. volley of musketry
being poured into the opposing columns with
deadly effect.
In this charge Maj. Gen. Reynolds fell mor
tally wounded, and 'died soon. after being con
veyed to Gettysburg. He was, as usual, lead
ing his corps, and in the thickest of the fight
Gen. Paul, commanding the Third brigade of
the First army corps. was also killed on the
field, and Cola. Mater and Stone were severely
wounded and taken prisoners. The field be
tween the contending armies was strewn with
dead and wounded, and it is said the enemy
suffered folly as heavily as we, though it is not
known what was their lose in officers. •
The effort to flank our right wing entirely
failed, and we held the prominent and com
manding position for which the straggle *tvt .
made at the close of the f tlght, which ceased ktr,
the day at abOut 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time two more corps df Gen. Meade's
a rmy reached the field, and during the night
the main body of our army was in position to
meet any demonstration that the enemy might
make in the morning, or to advance on . him a.
thiCommandini General might decide.
General Archer and his whole staff were taken.
About fifteen hundred of the enemy's men thus
fell into our hands, and went to the rear.
Small regifnents were the order in this brigade;
and when an'Alabama Colonel was asked where
the rest of his regiment'was, he responded la
conically, "Gone to hell, sir."
One of these prlioners said to another, with
some aatonishment, "Hail Jakey's, we're fight
ing the Army of the Potomac now." They
seem to hive thought they hid hold of the
militia. The regiments which made this cap
ture were the Shah, Wisconsin, the Brooklyn
Fourteenth.and the Ninety-fifth New York.
The First army corps nobly maintained its
position against the effort to flank' its right,
and scarcely faltered 'for a moment when its
gallant commander fell, under a murderous
fire of the .enemy.
A great and decisive battle was considered
imminent,• _and, notwithstanding our severe
loss in officer's, the advantages of the day were
considered decidedly with our forces.
The army was in fine condition, full of en- ,
thusiasm for' the coming tattle, and confident
of success. ..Geneial Meade had also; it was
thought., concentrated his-forces to a greatei
extent than the enemy, a large portion of
whose army was. still scatterell up the throngh
tha Cumberland Valley.

nobly did they repulse these two veteran corps

The repulse was so complete that no further
attempt was made by the enemy during the
balance of the day, and night closed in with
our holding the position chosen by the enemy
to give us battle from.
The Third and Twelfth army corps also came
on the field after the last repulse of the enemy,
hut owing to the fall of Gen. Reynolds, and
the lateness of the hour, as well as the ex
haustion of the men, and the desire totakecare
of the wounded,, it was determined not to push
the enemy for a renewal of the conflict.
When our informant left the field yeetelday
(Thareday) morning, Gen. Meade had arrived,
and the main body of our army was in position,
and ready to push the enemy, so soon as day
should dawn.
Gettysborg is just twenty-five miles east of
Ohambersburg, over a flue rolling country most
of the way, which will doubtless be. the scene
of the great battles of the rebel invasion.
[Special Dsrpetch to The Press.;
Waratrrsvma, Pa ;July 2—Midnight.
The battle began yesterday by a severe en
gagement between a large rebel force, and the
Ist and 11th corps of the National army, Mil
patrick's cavalry, and oar artillery.
The battle field was to the right of Gettys.
burg, toward Bendersville. -
The battle raged furiously during the entire
day without decisive results.
'This morning the fight was renewed with
greater energy and larger forces.
OEM FORM. A9ll KNOWN TO HAMS GAINED UPON
TIN REEKY UNTIL POUR. O'CLOCK THIS ANTIENOON.
Since fire o'clock the firing had been much heavier,
and more rapid, indicating a general engagement be
tween the entire armies..
The rebel force is concentrated on South
Mountain, towards Carlisle, sin miles north of
Gettysburg.

rection of Dover, at four o'clock this afternoon.
B is in the rear of the enemy.
The 2d army corps moved np from Hanover at

The reported burning of Gettysburg is un
founded.
A. WHO= RIM BRIGADE CAPTURED.
They also made an effort to capture the wagon
train on the left and rear, an¢ in attempting
this movement nearly a wholebrigade of rebels
were captured, among them Brig. Gen. Archer,
f the rebel army, formerly of the United States
Army.
Our wounded are at Gettysburg, and well
taken care of. Our forces at Gettysburg were
largely reinforced last [LIMA, and the battlewill
probably be resumed to-day. It is said that
Longstreet's and Hill's troops were both en
gaged yesterday, and would be reinforced by
corps during the night.
Gen. Meade is in the front to-day, superin
tending the operatipns. We are in a region
without railroads ar telegraphs nearer than
thirty or , forty miles, rendering the transmis
sion of news very difficult.
I have just returned from the rear 0* Gettys
burg, and officers and soldiers who came from
there this morning report that no fighting had
taken place up to ten o'clock, beyond occasion
; al. artillery firing.
Upwards of one thousand rebel prisoners
parsed through Tarrytown this morning, on
their way to the rear, General Archer among
them.
General Meade will undoubtedly push the
enemy rapidly. Onr.army is in fine condition,
and will fight well. •
