Every ease of that kind can be readily coxed by lioofland's Elorman Bitters, Diseases resoling from disor• ders of the digestive organs are ~pe..chly remov ed, We have nn hesitation in stating that, if these Bitters wore freely used among our soldiers hundreds of lives might be caved, that otherwise will bo lost.

I The official report of General Lee o his campaign in Maryland and Pennsyl vania, in June and July, was published in the Richmond papers of Saturday last, and it is, says the. Richmond E 2 (miner, "the first official report of General Lee's many military operations which the pub• lie has been permitted to see." It clears up several points which have heretofore been but little understood, but leaves un touched many__of the most, interesting problems connected with the Northern invasion. As the rebel commander's view of that campaign, it is deeply interesting, more especially as this is the first official report of it we have had, Gen eral Meade's not yet having been publish ed: HEAD' QRtl, ARMY NORTHERN VA,, t •1 July 31, 1863. j Gen. S. Cooper. Adjutant and Inspector Generaf, ilichniond, Va. : fI EN ERAL I have the honor to submit the following outline of the recent opera tions of this army for the information of the Department: The position cccupied by the enemy opposite Fredericksburg being one in which he could not be attacked to ad vantage, it was determined to draw him from it. The exec,ption of this purpose embraced the relief of Shenandoah Val ley from the troops that had occupied the lower part of it during the winter and spring, and, if practicable, the transfer of the scene of hostilities north of the'Po tornac. It was thought that the corresponding movement on the part of the enemy, to which those contemplated by us would probably give rise, might offer a fair op— portunity to strike a blow at -the enemy therein commanded by Gen. Hooker, and that, in any event,that army would be com pelled to leave Virginia, and possibly to draw to its support troops designed to operate against other parts of the country. In this way it was supposed that the ene my's plan of campaign for the summer would be broken up, and part of the sea son of active operations be consumed in the formation of new combinations and the preparations that-they would require. In addition to these advantages it was hoped other vaivable results might be at tended by military success, Actuated by these.and other important considerations that may hereafter be pre sented, the movement began ou the 3rd of June. McLame' division of Long streets corps left Frederickburg for Cul pF pper Conti Howse; and Hood's division, whim] was encamped on the Rapidan. marched to the same place. They were followed on the 4th and st.h by Ewell's corps, leaving that of A. P. Hill to occupy our lines at Fredericks burg. Tne march of thesil troops having been discovered by the enemy on the afternoon of the sth, the following day he crossed a force, amounting to about one army (imp, to the south side of the Rappahannock, on a pontoon bridge laid down near the mouth of Deep Run. Gen. Hill disposed his command to resist their advance ; but as they seemed intended for the pdrpose of observation rather than attack, the movements in progress were not arrested. The forces of Longstreet and Ewell reached Culpepper Court House by the 8:11 at which point toe cavalry under 3eneral Stuart was also concentrated. On the 9th a large force of Federal cavalry, strongly supported by infantry, crossed the Rappahannock at Beverly's and Kelly's Ford's and attacked General Stuart. A severe engagement ensued, continuing from early in the morning until late in the afternoon, when the enemy was forced to r, cross the river with heavy loss, leaving six hundred prisoners, three pieces of artillery and several colors in our hands.. General Jenkins, with his cavalry bri gade, had been ordered to advance toward Winchester to co-operate with the infantry in the proposed expedition into the Lower Valley, and at the same time Gen. I rubo den was directed, with his command to make a demonstration in the direction of Romney, in order to cover the movement against Winchester, and prevent the ene my at that place from being reinforced by the troops on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Both of these officers were in position ou the 10th. Crossing the Shenandoah near Front Royal, he de tached Rhodes' divis'on to Berryville, with instructions, after dislodging the force stationed there, to cat off communi cation between Winchester and the Poto mac. With the divisions of Early and of Johnson, Gen. Ewell advanced directly upon Winchester, driving the enemy into his works around the town on the 10th. On the same day the troops at Berryville fell back before Gen. Rhodes, retreating to Winchester. On the 14th Gen. Early stormed the works at the latter place, and the whole army of Gen. Milroy was cap tured or dispersed. Most of those who attempted to escape were intercepted and made prisoners by Gen. Johnson. Their leader fled to Harper's Ferry with a small party of fugitives. Gen. Rhodes marched from Berryville to Martinsburg, entering the latter place on the 14th, where he took seven hundred prisoners, five pieces of artillery and a considerable quantity of stores. These operations cleared the valley of the enemy, those at Harper's Ferry withdrawing to Maryland Heights. More than four thou. sand prisoners, twenty-nine pieces of ar tillery, two hundred and seventy wagons and ambulances, with four hundred hor ses were captured, besides a large amount of military stores. Our, .loss was small. On the night that Ewell appeared at Win chester, the Federal troops in front of A. P. Hill, at Fredericksburg, crossed the Rappahannock and the next day disap peared behind -the hills of Stafford. The whole army of Gen. Hooker with drew from the line of the Rappahannock, pursuing the roads near the Potomac, and no favorable opportunity was offered for attack. It seemed to be the purpose of Gen. Hooker to take a position which would enable him to cover the approaches to Washington City; with a view to draw him further from his base, and, at the same time, to cover the march of A. P. Hill, who, in accordance with instructions, left Fredericksburg for the valley as soon as the enemy withdrew from his front, Longstreet moved from Culpepper Court House on the lEith, and advancing along the east side of the Blue Ridge, occupied Ashby's and Snicker's Gaps. His force ESTABLISHED 1842. bad peen augmented while at Caleepper by Gen. Pickett with three brigades of his division. Ihe cavalry under Gen Stuart was' thrown out in fronf of Longstreet to watch the enemy, now reported to be mo ving into London. On the elith his -caralry encountered two brigades of ours: un der Gen. Stuart, near Aldie, and was driv-. en back with loss. The next day the en— gagemeut was renewed, the Federal caval ry l eing strongly supported by infarlfly. and Gen. Stuart was, in turn, compelled to retire. The enemy advanced as far as Upper- villa and then fell back. In these engage ments Gen. Stuart took about four hun— dred prisoners and a considerable number of horses and arms. In the meantime, apart of Gen. Ewell's( - corps had entered Maryland, and the rest • were about to follow. Gen. Jenkin7s. with his cavalry, who accompanied Gen, Ewell, .penetrated Pennsylvania as far es Cham beraburg. As these demonstrations did 'not have the effect of causing the Federal army to leave Virginia, and as it did not teem disposed to advance upon the posi tion held by Longstree, the latter wee withdrawn to the west side of the She— • nand oah , Gan, Hilt having already reached the valley. Gen. Stuart was left to guard the passes of the moan. i .s and observe the Move ments of the enemy, whom he was in structed to harrass and impede as much es possible, should he attempt to cross - the Potomac. In that event Gen. Stuart was directed to move into Maryland, crossing the Potomac east or west of the Blue Ridge, as in his judgment should be beat, and take position to the right of our col umn as it advanced. By the 24th the progress of Ewell ren , dered it necessary that the rest of the army should be in supporting distance, land Longstreet and Hill marched to the Potomac. The former crossed at Wit liamsport, and the latter at Shepardatown. The celnmns reunited at Hagerstovrriland advanced thence into Pennsylvania, en- camping near Chambersburg on the 24''tb. No report had been received that the • Federal army had crossed the • Potoma 4/. c and the absence of the cavalry rendered it impossible to obtain accurate iriforAte.• . ' tion. In order, however, to retain sti on the east side of the mountains atter it ,should enter Maryland, and that' leave open our communication with the Poto mac, through Hagerstown and Williams= port, General Ewell had been instructed to send a division eastward from Chem, bersbarg to cross the South Mourimina. • Early's division was detached for this purpose, aqd proceeded as_ far East.ats York, while the remainder of the curiae proceeded to Carlisle. Gen. Iraboden. in'parenance.of the in• evictions previously referred to, had been actively engaged °lathe left, of Gun. Ewell during the progress of the latter :nto Maryland. He had driven off the forces guarding the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, destroying all the important bridges on the route from Cumberland to Martinsburg, and seriously damaged the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. He subsequently took position at HeM cock, and atter the arrival of Longstreet and Hill at Chambersburg was directedto march by way of McConnelsburg to that place. Preparations were now made to advance upon Harrisburg bat on the night of the 29th information was received from a scout that the Federal army, having crossed the Potomac, was advancing northwards, and that the head of the col— umn had reached the Satith Mountain. As our communications with the Potomac were thus menaced, it was resolved to prevent his further progress in that direc tion by concentrating our army on the east side of the Mountains. Accordingly, Longstreet and Hill were directed to pro ceed from Chambersburg to Gettysburg, to which point Gen. Ewell was also in• strutted to march from Carlisle. General Stuart continued to follow the movements of the Federal army south of the Potomac after our own had entered Maryland, and, in his efforts to impede its progress, advanced as far eastward as Fairfax Court House. Finding himself unable to delay the enemy materially, he crossed the river at Seneca, and marched' through Weatminister to Carlisle, where he arrived after General Ewing had left for Gettysburg. By the route he pur sued the Federal army was interposed between his command and our main body. prevei ting any communication with him until his arrival at Carlisla. The march towards Gettysburg was con ducted more slowly than it would - have: been, had the movements of the Federal army been known. The leading division of Hill met-the enemy in advance at Gettysburg on the morning of the lst of July. Driving back these troops to within a short dis tance of the town, he there encountered a large force, with which two of his divi sions became engaged. Ewell, coming up with two of his diVisions by the HE4d lersbuigh road, joined in the oegttgemtat. The enemy was driven through Gettys burg with heavy loss, including about five thousand prisoners and several pieces of artillery. He retreated to a high range of hills south and east of the town, The'attack was not pressed that afternoon, the ene my's force being unknown, and it being considered advisable to await the arrival of the rest of our troops. Orders were sent back to hasten their march ; and in the meantime, every effort was made to ascertain the numbers and. position of the enemy, and find the most favorable point of attack. It had not been intended to fight a general battle at such a distance from our base unless attacked by the • enemy ; but finding ourselvesunexpected ly confronted by the Federal army, it, be- came a matter of difficulty to withdraw through the mountains with our large trains. At the same time• the country was unfavorable for collecting , supplies while in the presence of the enemy's mainbody, as he was enabled to restrain our foraging parties by occupying the passes of the mountains with regular and local troops. A battle thus became, in a measure, un avoidable. Encouraged - by the enceessfal issue of the engagement of the first day,- and in view of the valuable results that would ensue from the defeat of the army of Gen. Meade, it was thought advisable - to renew the attack. The remainder of Ewell's and Hill's corps having arrived, and two divisions of Longetreet's, our preparations werd matte accordingly. During the afternoon in telligence was received of the arrival of Gen.43tuart at Carlisle, and he was order ed to march to Gettysburg, and take position on the left.' A full account of these engagements cannot be given until" the reports of the several commanding officers shall have been received, and I shall only offer a general description. The preparations for attack were not completed until the afternoon of th e 2d. The enemy held a high and command ing ridge,EwellHll i along which he had m asse d a offt artillery. Gun.
