The Situation.
Those who live far from the scenes of war,
have no conception of war. 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

We have captured at least...eight thousand
prisoners.

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

done, be everywhere remembered, and rever
enced with the profoundest gratitude.

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.

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

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. [" A rose," &o.; but " there's no ac

is unrivaled by any, and in all cases of Lameness, ari

Magical and Certain. Harness or Saddle (calls, Scratch
es, Mange, &c ,it will also cure speedily. Spavin and
Ringbone may be easily crevented and cured in their
incipient stages, bet confirmed cases are beyond the
possibility of a radical cure. No case of the kind, how
ever, is so desperate or hopeless but it may be alleviated
by this Liniment, and its faithful application wilt al
ways remove the Lameness, and enable the horse to
travel with comparative ease.
Every h= roe owner should have this remedy at hand,
for its timely use at the first appearance of Lameness

so many otherwiec valuable heron Ready worthlece,
