To them it Is simply sound, while to us, who are under its - very breath, it is emphatically sense. For many days past the extensive and fertile valley of the Cumberland has been the scene of atm- guinary struggles between two immense con flicting armies of tried veterans in war, and every boom of the cannon, every sharp detona tion of musketry has sent a thrill to the hearts of those upon the immediate borders of tire strife which those who are out of reach of the sight and sound of the conflict cannot imagine. We begin to-day—Sunday afternoon—to ing, an is, appa in of an encouraging nature. Without being able to go into particulars, we may state generally that (len. Meade has ) well managed the campaign, and has at this time got Gen. Lee into a position from which escape, without terrible loss, seems to be im possible. 'lt seems to us that this conflict in the val ley, whether the result of strategy or necessity on the part of Gen. Lee, or those still higher in authority directing the movements of the Confederate armies, is "the beginning of the end" of the war. Looking at it in this light, bloody as bas been the struggle, we hail it with joy, and look forward with renewed hopes and- fervent desires for the dawning of that day which shall give ns a peace based upon a re stored Union and an unimpaired and overruling Constitution, securing liberty and equal rights to all. Excepting the mad fanatics who have plunged us into this terrible war to carry out an un sound and impracticable idea, and the men who, through court favor, are plundering the nation, the universal voice of the people is for peace, unity and the old fraternal rela tions. War longer pursued for African emancipa tion is sheer madness, because years of strife, of bloodshed and devastation" cannot accom plish the object, nor is it desirable if it could be accomplished. The condition of the Afri can is best as it was before this war between brethren of the same race and color commenced, The time may come—in God's own providence it. will probably come—when that condition may be favorably changed, but no device, no plot or plan of man can change the decrees of Heaven or hasten the period by one moment. While the corpses of our countrymen, slain in battle, are thickly strewn over fields almost within eight of our capital, for God and humanity's sake let us awake to serious reflections and sound ideas. Let us throw fanatics and fanaticism to the winds, and by judicious and Christian measures end this strife which is destroying the life of the nation_ Having at length gainod a military advan tage over the rebellion; having, as we believe, Gen. Lee cooped and the Confederate adminis tration paralysed, let us be both just and gen erous, and while we press the war as vigor onslyna ever, let us hold out to the Southern people the olive branch, asking from them no other oonditiens than a return. to the old order of things. .As we understand at this hour—five o'clock p. m. Sunday--Gen. Meade occupies a decided ly advantageous position on a line stretching from Havover beyond Gettysburg towards Chamberaburg. Ruiner has it that the enemy are endeavoring to retreat in. a north-westerly direction on the Cove Mountain road, perhaps intending to strike for Hancock or some other point in Maryland. But if the news we sub join is true, and we believe it to be so, it will be only by something nearly like * miracle that any considerable portion of the rebel army can escape. Let us thank God an take courage, humbly imploring our Creator to give us wisdom in these trying times to use what ever of victory may be vouchsafed to us to the beet advantage to the interests of the nafitn and the universal freedom of our distinctive race. Up to this wirting the following embraces all the news we have : ARMY OF THE POTOMAO4 July 3, 8.35 P. M.— • The enemy opened at one o'clock p. m., with one hundred and fifty .guns concentrated on oar left and , centre, and fought three hours.— Fie then assaulted our entire lines, and was handsomely repulsed, with a very severe loss in dead and wounded, and leaving 8,000 priso ners in our hands. Brig. Geu. Armistead and many general offi cers were killed and captured. The enemy left many dead and wounded in our hands. Our losses are considerable. Maj. Gen. Hancock and Brig. Gen. Gibbons are wounded. Gen. Meade pursued the enemy and found them in force on his left. All is quiet now- Our cavalry is,doing great things and the army is in fine spirits. Hai:oven, July 4-5 p. m.—There has been no fighting up to this time to-day. Last eve i ning we drove the enemy back to Gettysburg. "! Our lines this morning extend eight miles around Gettysburg; our batteries being on the hills looking on the town from' the South. We occupy Round Top Ridge, wimmanding the Chambtrsburg turnpike, and have cut off all the lines of retreat. Our forces occupy the strongest possible position. A flank movement on our left is impossible. At about 8 o'clock la3t night the Florida Brigade of General Longetreet's division, with a Brigadier General in command, advanced to within our lines and gave themselves up with their colors. A 'rarer of dispatches from Jeff. Davis to Gen. Lee has been captured. The dispatches ordcr Gen. Lee particularly to retreat on Rich mond; he states the movement into l'ennsyl= vania was totally against his wishes. The following were among the officers killed and wounded in yesterday's engagement: Col. Taylor, of the Bucktail regiment, a bro ther to Bayard Taylor. Lieut. Col. Miles, of the same regiment. Lieut. Mazer, of Philadelphia, is Wounded, Major Kenedy, of the 11th New Jersey regi ment, was wounded in the knee. We have captured at least...eight thousand prisoners. 4r:~:~:a;~:►„i~_iln:~~t~Iu:~:i:{{iI~i.~.4~i' i{A~i~~ ;, f=lZJ:y~ I DESTOYED. i FREDERICK. Md., July 4th-9 p. m. fTo GEN.

I ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN. 1 WASHINGTON, July 4.-10 a, m.—The Presi t. dent announces to the country that the news F from the Army of the Potomac up to 10 a. in., i of the 3d, is such as to cover the army with the , highest honor, to promise a great success to : the cause of the Union. and to claim the coo t dolence of all for the many gallant fallen ; and that for this he especially desires that, on this i day, He whose will, not ()ire, should ever be done, be everywhere remembered, and rever enced with the profoundest gratitude. I (Signed,) ABRAHAM LINCOLN. i i * STILL LATER—IMPORTANT IP TRUE. I t The rumor is current on the streets, said to i ; rest upon dispatches received by Gov. Curtin ~ and Gen. Couch, that the army of Gen. Meade to-day captured 25,000 prisoners and 118 pieces of artillery. . This, if true to the extent . 7 represented, would seem to settle the question ; as to the fate of the rebel army in the valley, and possibly as to the longer continuance of the war. We can only account for the capture of so many men and so much artillery on the t , , .trotitr e lirt r . ) rumo tHWart;t; well founded, and we Bee no reason why we ,should not credit it. The fortune of war seems ones more to be on our side, and, our rulers acting wisely, we may reasonably hope to see the conflict brought to a speedy conclu sion. nge ve coming HALF PAST 10 O'CLOCK, P. M. We have just heard officially that although there is no con firmation of the above rumor, yet it has been received in such form by the authorities as to render it nearly reliable. It has come in tele gram from Baltimore, and this telegiam is backed by intelligence from a respectable source in Cumberland county. We have rea son, therefore, to believe it correct. The invasion of the North by the rebel army, and the promptness with which the Democratic Governors of New York and New Jersey responded to the call of Pennsylvania— the patriotism displayed by Judge Woodward, Charles J. Biddle and other Democratic leaders in our own State—and the readiness with which the masses of all parties have rallied to the defense of our borders, should forever si lence and put to shame the Abolition press of the country, which bee for the past two years persistently denounced the Democratic party as " traitors," " copperheads" and " sympa thizers with the rebellion." That the Demo cratic party are the true friends of the Union, has <been demonstrated on every battle field since the war' began. In civil life a further evidence is found in the messages of Demo cratic Governors, speeches of Democratic ora tors, and resolutions passed at Democratic conventions and mass meetings, all of which breathe devotion to the Union, and a firm de termination to uphold the Constitution and the laws, against the combined assaults of the rebels in arms and the fanatics in power s who now misgovern the country, while the Unionism of the Abolition leaders has always been con ditional. Banks was for letting the Union slide rather than fail to engraft his Abolition dogmas upon the republican constitutions and laws of free territories and incoming States. Greeley was for letting tho cotton States go in order to be divorced from slavery. Abolition ists from Massachusetts have petitioned again and again fora dissolution of the Union, and her preachers and orators have advocated it in the pulpit and on the rostrum. Stevens, the chairman of- the Committee on Ways and Means inlthe last House of Congress, high in the confidence of the administration, said he was tired of hearing about the Constitution as it is, that the Union should never be restored with his consent unless slavery was prohibited in the Constitution. Recently a cabal of Abolitionists, who Claimed to hold the destiny of the nation in their hands, sent Moncure D.. Conway as their agent to Europe, who, in a letter to J. M. Mason, the Confederate Minister to England, offers to acknowledge the 'independence of the South, providing they will gradually abolish slavery. We might multiply these evidences if fur ther evidence were wanting to ehow that the party now in power are not in favor of the restoration of the Union, but are waging this cruel and unnatural war for the single purpose of abolishing slavery. For this these fanatics Results of the Invasion. are 'willing to sacrifice not only millions of men and money, but our national honor. Fail ing to work out their. endsthrough a devasta. ting war, they are ready to assent to a dishon orable peace and- a dissolution of the Union. Yet these hypocrites profess a devotion to the Union they are working to destroy, and pre tend to be in favor of our Constitution and . laws, which they have trampled under foot. We do not expect that this invasion, nor the readiness and enthusiasm with which Democrats ruabed to arms, to repel the invaders, will change the course of the Abolition press, or that the administration at Washington will learn wisdom from its teach ings, because those who, with perfect know ledge of the truth, persist in falsehood, and continue in error, are beyond the possibility., of reformation ; but we do expect it will open the eyes of the people to their falseness and imbecility. We do expect that after the oc currence of so great a calamity the people will begin to reflect that under Democratic rule our country was peaceful, prosperous and happy, and that returning again to the line of safe precedents, they will place the power in the hands of the grel. Democratic party, who are the exponents of the will of the people, and the only party capable of preserving our republi can institutions and conducting our govern ment in accordance with the design of our pa triot fathers who founded it. We expect that it will teach our sanguinary Abolitionists, who cry out for extermination, devastation and de struction in the South, that the poisoned cha lice may be returned to their own lips, and that counseled by their fears they will be sat isfied to have the war conducted upon the plain principles of Christianity and civilization.— We do expect that the people of Pennsylvania will ace clearly that the invasion, if not con nived at by the party in power, was at least their fault. From all the news we can gather, and from every indication that reaches us, it seems that General Meade has beaten Gen. Lee at every point and forced him into a position from which he cannot escape without heavy loss. This is a glorions result, but let•us look for a moment at the lesson it teaches. If Lee has ventured into Pennsylvania with only a por tion of his forces it may be attributed to the falsehoods of the Abolition press; which has for the past three years reiterated the lie that the Democrats are sympattisers with the re bellion and ready to aid the invaders. These falsehoods may have imposed upon Lee and induced him to venture within our borders with an inadequate force. If, on the other hand, he has his whole army around him and is now mastered by Meade, is it not evident that the same army,,if properly han dled, could have readily prevented the inva sion ? We may, therefore, clearly charge the great calamity with which we have been visi ted upon the falsehood and fanaticism of the party press, or the want of foresight and imbe cility of the powers at Washington. The Militia. We understand that the militia who have gone forward in formidable numbers under General Smith have forme', a junction with Sedgwick's corps, and are now holding Holly Spring Gap, a point On the Baltimore turnpike, six or eight-miles south of Carlisle. The reso- forces at Carlisle, and the defeat of General Fitz Hugh Lee at that point, gives assurance that the militia, under the able command of General Smith, will render to General Meade important and efficient service in driving the rebel invaders from our soil. In a few days more the rebel plunderers will be - entirely swept from our teeming valleys, giving our farmers an opportunity to return to their homes in time to safely harvest their now ripening crops. This is the second time that the rebel Gen. Lee has attempted to invade Pennsylvania, but from every indication at this hour, he is being so severely punished for his temerity, that he will not be likely ever to hazard another ex periment in this direction. NEWS OF THE DAL BY THE MAILS. ram yiczaßinto MEMPHIS, TEEN., July 1, 1863.—Official ad vices from the army of General Grant to the 28th of June, furnish the following particu lars : The rebel garrison at Vicksburg is very ac tive. The rebels are making a desperatejesistance to the progress of the siege, with the hope that relief will soon reach them. Additional rebel reinforcements are said to be on the way from General Bragg to General Johnson, and the latter is perfecting arrange ments to attack General Grant's rear. Generals Price, Marmaduke and Kirby Smith are combining to get some point on the btlnky of the Mississippi, and will probably make an attempt to take Milliken's Bend and stop navi gation. CHICKASAW BAYOU, June 29, 1863.—A gen tleman from the front reports everythkg in statu quo. Operations continue against the rebel works, butthe firing is better s than that two days ago. The rebels still dispute our bold on Fort Hill. Col. Melanothon Smith died of his wounds yesterday. Colonel Hanesible was mortally wounded by a grenade while entering the fort. Gep.Johnson's advance is said to be a few wiles from our outer pickets ; but only a show of force is expected. Nothing can ,e more desirable than.a real attack, as everything is prepared. WASIIIIRITON, July 3.=The Republican of this afternoon says the government has a dispatch, dated Vicksburg, June 27, stating that the siege was progressing finely. No mention is made of rebels in Grant's rear. MEMPHIS, July I.—Everything is quiet in this section. Gen. Hurlbut is watching the movements of the rebels in the country adjacent to and south of his lines. The weather is extremely hot. BATTLE OF GETTYOBUBfI - THE FIGHT ON THUfiB- DAY. BATTLE FIELD SOUTH OF GETTYSBURG, July 2—Midnight.—For seven hours without cessa tion the Army of the Potomac has been tried by the fire. It has suffered terribly, but has beaten the enemy in the hardest fight it h as yet seen. General Meade, once fully aware of the ene my's whereabouts, determined to take his own time and mass his forces properly before fight ing the great battle, and in that view did not assume an offensive attitude, but merely occu pied a position and watched the enemy.— Meanwhile corps by corps our forces came up, until by noon to-day we had on the field the whole force with which we fought this bat tle. But the enemy bad other ideas as to the time when the battle should take place, and this afternoon some extensive movements to wards our left were discovered, and General Siakles was ordered to advance his whole corps. an d was engaged From three till five p. in., and behaved admirably. Though driven back once, it was rallied by the General in person, and went on again, giving and receiving a very heavy fire. Soon after five o'clock the Fifth corps went into action on the left of the Third corps. At that time, as for three hours previously, the cannonading was very heavy. Besides the guns in batteries regularly attached to differ ent corps, we bad on the field many batteries of the reserve artillery, posted on eminences at different points in the field, and these, with our guns on Cemetery Hill, thundered tremen dously. Rebehbatteries we also at work in every direction, and as our lines form nearly a circle, shells from the rebel batteries on both our flanks exploded near the centre of ouipo sition continually, and made it a hot place. But, as usual, the fighting at close quarters, and the musketry fire were infinitely the most destructive, and this continued along our left for four hours. About seven p. m., one of those mageificent charges of infantry, so much fa vored in the rebel tactics, was made by the divisions of McLaws and" Anderson. This ad vance was made by about fifteen thousand men, formed in columns of divisions, and was di rected against our extreme left. Both columns, after they had almost grasped the victory, Were repulsed by the Fifth corps. After this terrible fight on our left, and while all were glad enough that the day was over, a sharp musketry fire suddenly broke out on our right, at a point that had been held by the Twelfth corps ; but the greater part of the Twelfth bad been withdrawn, and the place was held ty General Green's brigade, which almost alone repulsed the night attack. Every one is exhausted, and there is great ' misery for want of water. FROM LOIIISIARA-CAPTURE OP BRAOHEAM. orrr BY TAE REBELS. A correipondent of the N. Y. Herald, writing from New Orleans, under date of June 26, says : I am sow I am so circumstanced, in conse quence of our having been cut off from all communication with Brashear City, that I am I • not able to give you the full particulars of the capture of that important place by the rebels. From refugees who arrived in camp to-day I learn the following details : On Tuesday last, at 4 o'clock a. m., not unexpectedly, as it is stated, a small force of rebels made their ap pearance at Berwick City, immediately opposite Brashear City, and opened fire on our encamp ment at that place from two small pieces of ar tillery. The attention of our gunners at Fort Buchanan was drawn to them, and after a few shots they were apparently dispersed. This. it appears, was a ruse on the part of the enemy ; for scarcely had our soldiers been placed in position to resist any advance of the rebels from that place when they were sud denly surprised by a large force of the enemy, which had during the night crossed Lake Pa lourde, and come up in their rear. The rebele entered the town, and cur men surrendered, I am very credibly informed, without making any very determined resistance. Our loss on this occasion was very nearly 1,000 men, including a camp of about 600 convalescent soldiers.— But this was not the worst part of the business. The rebels by the capture of our force, gained possession of Fort Buchanan and Fort Schen°, and another smaller earthwork further down the Bay. On these fortifications were moun ted eighteen or twenty guns of heavy calibre, several of which were the finest rifled pieces we had-in this department. Some of the pieties we lost were those re cently taken from Camp Parapet, others raised from the steamer ilimmian, that stenist the bay last March. Altogether this is odrof the severest blows the rebels have dealt us in this part of -the country. In military circles Bra shear City is considered a place of great impor tame The fortifications at this point comma's ded Berwick Bay, the Atchaf a and in fact, • wirvigarnPu Llllo — atunra - par country. The rebel force we encountered was under command of Magruder, and is variously estimated at from ten to fifteen thousand. The rebels in taking Brashear City captured quite an amount of lnartermaster and commissary stores, as well as considerable ammunition.— The enemy also came into possession of the, personal baggage of many of our officers and men who had left Brashear City in their rapid march to Opelousas, Alexandria and Port Hudson. CHARLOTTE CORDAY. . We extract the following concerning the ill fated Charlotte Corday, from Michelet'a "Wo men of the French Revolution :" After her condemnation she requested the painter might be called, whom, during her trial, she remarked as studying her features. She sat to him, on condition that he promised V) send a copy of her portrait to her family. In about an hour and a half the execution er entered with the scissors and red chemise. Charlotte could not repress a slight shudder, and said, involuntarily, "What! already ?" She soon, however, beo me calm, and taking the scissors, cut a beautiful tress of blonde hair, and presenting it to the artist, said—' "Sir, I have this to offer you; keep it in mem ory of me." - She arrived at the place of execution, her face illuminated, almost transfigured, in the light of the selling sun. It is said, that, at first view of the knife she turned slightly pale, but her color came again, and she mounted the scaffold with a firm step. The young maiden modestly prevented the executioner from uncovering her neck, and advanced of her own accord the preparations for death. At the moment the head was severed, a coarse carpenter seized it roughly, showing it to the people, and with brutal ferocity Amish the love ly face. A shudder of horror ran through the crowd, and it. is sttited that the cheek of the poor victim flushed at the insult. The man was imprisoned. The intrepidity of this charming young girl gave to death almost an attraction. More than one considered it a happiness to follow her into the great un known. • In the only portrait which remains of Char lotte, painted a. few moments before death, we remark the extreme softness of the expression. The face is that of a young Normade, a ma donna countenance, colored with the delicate tints of the apple-blossom. She appears much younger than her age, (twenty.five.) In this tragic picture she appears infinitely sensible, serious, reasonable, like her Norman country women. She is almost like a painting child : her lips seem to move ; one fancies they utter the last words she wrote to her father; "Par don me, papa." The painter has left to man kind a despair, an eternal regret. None can behold this portrait without exclaiming : "Oh, why was I born so late? how I should have loved her!" Her counsel, Chaveau Lagarde, oar : "Her features may be depicted,her words reproduced, but art is powerless to paint the soul breathing from her face." Her replies might have served as dialogues for Cornielle : "Who inspired you with so mush hatred?" "I required none from others, my own was sufficient." "This not must have been suggested to you?" "We execute badly that which we conceive not ourselves." "What did you hate in h s im?"l "His crimes." "What mean you ?" "The ravages of France." "What did you hope for, by killing him ?" "To bring back peace to my country," "Do you think you have killed all the Ma rats ?" Him dead, the others, perhaps, may be frightened." ,‘ Since when did you form this design ?" "Since the arrest of the representatives of the people." Her accusation having been read, the Presi dent asked if she would make reply. "Nothing, except that I have succeeded." The scene of the murder is thus drawn: Marat was in a bath, covered with a soiled sheet, and writing ona board; his head, shoul ders and right arm being alone visible. The greasy hair, bound in a towel, the yellow skin, the wiry arms, the wide mouth, scarcely pro claimed the creature a man. He asked the young girl the names of the deputies, refugees at Caen. She named them. 'flood,' said he ; eight days they shall suffer. the guillotine.' These words lent to Charlotte additional strength ; she drew from her bosom the knife, and plunged it up to the hilt in the heart of Marat. The perpendicular blow was too sure, a river of blood sowed frera the wound. 'Ahl moi! ma chere amie,' were all the words he could utter, when he expired." PERSONAL. A. T. STEWART, Esq.,the merchant prince of New York. has mae a regal donation to the poor of Ireland, (says the New Bedford Mercury) The ship Mary Edson, Captain Nickerson, which sailed from New York on the seventeenth day of May, was chartered by Mr. Stewart for six thousand dollars for the round trip. Her cargo of corn and provisions cost twenty thousand dollars; and she is to bring back, free of cost to them, from one hundred and fifty to two hundred men and wo men, between the ages of eighteen and thirty years, who may dtsire to seek a new home here. We know of no instance where one individual has done an act of charity so like the munificence of royalty. His contribution of ten thousand dollars, at the outbreak of the rebellion, in aid of the government, and his gift of a like amount for the relief of the star ving operatives of England are well known. But this last benefaction, quietly performed, deserves the highest praise. A LADY of Pennsylvania recently wrote to General Hooker, asking his permission to name her boy General Joseph Hooker L n. The letter stated that the-writer has two sons in a Pennsylvania regiment, and is , willing to send tip more when they are needed. Col. Sweitzer, ofthe sixty-second regiment, sent the letter to General Hooker, endorsing its statement, and requesting him to grant the lady's prayer. The request was, of course, granted, and Mrs. L is as happy as a fond mother can pos sibly be.
