TnURSDAY:::::::::::::::::::::::::::JULY 16.
What lias been Gained by flic
Recent Rattles.
Perhaps it is rather premature to
speculate upon the results anticipated to
flow from the impending battle upon the
Potomac, but in tho absence of facts we
can only indulge in surmises ; and the
fighting that has already taken place,
although not as decisive as it was at first
regarded, is still of a character to permit
an inference as to the issue of the prestnt
campaign. , Because, in the late engage
ment, Lee's entire army was not captured
or cut to pieces, there is a disposition in
tome quarters to underrate its importance,
and to look upon it as altogether indeci
sive ; and such is especially the opinion
expressed of it among the disloyal, who
less than a fortnight ago predicted the
fall of Washington and Philadelphia; and
among many of the nervous and timid
class of the community who eaw no hepe
in the future of escape from these disasters.
Independent of any consequences that
may hereafter follow, we think the late
battle established the following important
facte : firstly, that the Army of the
Potomac, in point of spirit, if not of
numbers, has never been in a better
condition ; secondly, that in Gen. Meade
it has at length a leader worthy of it, and
competent to wield and direct its strength
with telling effect upon the enemy;
thirdly, that it has once more saved
Maryland and Pennsylvania from perma
nent rebel occupation, and the capital of
the nation from destruction ; fourthly,
that at a single blow it has ehorn the
rebel army of at least ore-third of its
former etTenglh, and visited upon Lee
the mopt crushing defeat he has ever
ustained ; fifthly, that by compelling
Gen. Lee to assume the defen3ive, and
driving him to the brink of a swollen
river into which a great portion of his
forces may be precipitated in case of
defeat, it has demonstrated his desperate
condition, and shown conclusively that
ono more victory may not only result in
his complete overthrow, but in the fall of
the rebellion, of which his army, crippled
though it be, is now the main support.
"With such results as these before our
eyes, -we cannot look upon the battle of
Gettysburg as an indecisive action. We
do not think anything moie could have
been accomplished, with the means at our
command. More has been done than we
dared to anticipate a few weeks ago; and
the campaign, even though it should
cease with the. two armies in their present
attitude towards each other, would still
present a hopeful and encouraging aspect
fcrthe Northern people ; and even though
"the situation" has been transferred to
Maryland soil, there is more than com
pensation in the fact that the control of
it has, at the seme time, been transferred
to the Army of the Potomac. But the
battle of Gettysburg was merely prelimin
ary to the final triumph, which we hope
loon to record. The two armies are
almost in contact the struggle is close at
hand. It would seem to be to cur advan
tage to attack the enemy immediately,
before he can fully brace himself to meet
the shock; but it is possible that there
may be greater advantage in a temporary
delay. It is hardly possible that there
can be a grain of truth in the report that
Lee is to be reinforced by Beauregard ;
tut it is quite possible that Gen. Meade
is to le reinforced, cr is to have the
co-ojeraticn of the Pennsylvania or other
detached force?, in which case it may be
kis policy to j estrone the battle unfil
astured that all the elements of sut-cess
are in bis keeping. Whether it shall
take place this week, or this month, how
ever; whether the Army cf the Potomac
shall be reinforced or not ; whether Lee
ball succeed in escaping into Virginia
with, the remnant of 'his once proud army
or not, will matter very little in the end.
If he is able to refuse the wager of battle
in Maryland, which does not now seem
probable, he will be forced to accept it in
Virginia. There may be postponemn,
but the results will be the same; the
discomfiture of the rebel army and the
overt urninfc yof the retd Govern men t.
And these results, if not accomplished
have at least been forethadowed by the
battle of Gettysburg. Preis.
Cavalry right at Ilagrerstovrn.
Special Dispatch, to the N. Y. Tribune.
The Front, Thursday, July 9.
Intelligence has just been received here
concerning the cavalry fight of yesterday,
which occurred near llagerstown. .The
enemy were part of Stuart's forces, not in
command of that officer himself. They
were supported by infantry, which took
up a strong position in the woods south
of the town.
After a determined resistance on their
part, the arrival of Gen. Buford toward
night resulted in a gallant charge of our
men the 5th Michigan distinguished
themselves particularly upon the ground
occupied by the rebel infantry, driving
them from the wood a feat almost
unprecedented, considering the advantages
of intantry in a wooded country our
force occupying the ground first chosen
by the rebels.
We lost from 50 to 100 killed. The
enemy lost about equally, with the addi
tion of upward of fifty prisoners. Gen.
Kilpatrick, who is erroneously reported
dead, charged the enemy in person, and
drove them for at least three miles.
At least 1,000 prisoners passed through
Frederick on their way to Baltimore to-day,
among them several officers.
Washington, Thursday, July 9.
The news from the Upper Potomac is
much more encouraging. It is almost
certain that Gen. Lee will be brought to
battle on this side of the river, and under
great disadvantages. It is ascertained
that he has only managed to cross his
wounded and a part of his Pennsylvania
spoils, having, so far as is known, no
bridges but a' large number of boats.
Gen. Meade has been' to quick for him,
and Lee now has his choice, of fighting
with his whole force or of losing his
artillery and at least ono third of his
army.
The two armies were at last accounts
not more than 10 miles apart, Gen. Lee's
stretching from llagerstown to Williams
port, and Gen. Meade's being upon th
march from Boonsboro on two roads
toward him. Our telegraph is already
4 miles beyond Boonsboro, our advance
being at that point. Gen. Couch i? slow
at coming up, but there are other forces
in a position enabling them to approach
the flank of Gen. Lee. Should he man
age to cross the river, as is exceedingly
improbable, it is not to be inferred that
he will escape the victorious Army cf
the Potomac, which has ample means of
iollowing him. "
Near IIagerstown, Md., July 9.
The rebels still hold the line from
Hagerstown to Williarnsport. It is sup
posed their main body rests oa the bank
of the Potomac. Lee is making the most
desperate efforts to cross. In the present
condition of the river it is believed by the
best informed officers of our army here
that Gen. Meade will force him to a final
engagement before he can possibly es
cape. In this event the next battle will
undoubtedly be fought upon or near the
old Antietam field within the next 48
hours. Our constant cavalry skirmishes
with, the enemy reveal his anxiety to
cover his rear and avoid a general engage
ment, rather than a desire to Rive us
battle. We have at least a live, a cool,
a temperate, vigilant man at the head of
the Army of Potomac, who will do all
that mortal can to finish, the work so
gloriously begun. Our officers and men
are inspirited with a confidence and hope
fulness I have never before witnessed.
Special Dispatch to the Philad'a., Inquirer.
Frederick, Md., July 8, 12 m.
Gen. Meade and stall arrived here yes
terday irom Gettysburg, and left this
morning for the front, which is now the
line of the Potomac and the old Antietam
battle-field.
Gen. Meade was presented withboquets
of natural flowers by the ladies of Freder
ick, and was serenaded last evening at his
hotel by the fine band of the New York
7th Ilegimcnt. The General sent his
compliments to the ladies, and apologized
for not being able to grant them an
interview, as his time was entirely occu
pied with very important business, lie
tendered them his thanks for their gift,
and their patriotic expressions in favor of
the good cause.
Information received here leaves no
doubt that the rebel army has succeeded
in reaching the Potomac at Williarnsport
in considerable force, , and on Monday
night and jesterdaj wero engaged in
ferrying over their ordnance and wagon
trains on flat-boats, canal boats, and every
species of material that could float a man,
a horse, or a wagon.
In anticipation of this, General Buford's
and Kilpatrick's cavalry has been sent
forward to Williarnsport to intercept the
rebel retreat and prevent their crossing
the river. . - .
- Early yesterday morning Buford's and
Kilpatrick's forces combined arrived at
Williarnsport and attacked the rebels, who
had a large cavalry force at hand.
The fight was phort but severe, and our
troops, finding themselves outnumbered,
reared toward llagerstown, and between
Williarnsport and llagerstown they en
countered another large body of cavalry
and a division of infantry, believed to be
Longstreet's corps, which was quickly
brought into position and attaeked our
troops. Finding his force unequal to the
contest, Gen. Buford withdrew toward
Antietam, taking along twenty-five pria
oners taptured in the fight
The prisoners are mostly from Alabama
and Louisiana regiments, and they state
that their army is all together, and well
on its way to the river. They arrived in
JbreaeriCK last evening.
It is reported here that our cavalry
pickets at Antietam Were driven in last
night by the rebels, indicating that they
were in considerable force in that vicinity.
This move is evidently with the design of
securing another crossing poiut at Shejr
herdstown. Gen. Meade is acquainted with all
these matters, and is making his move
ments accordingly, L with great rapidity,
in remarkably good order. To-day, or
to-morrow, perhaps, at the furthest, the
two armies will meet each other near the
scene of the old Antietam battle-field,
where a battle will most probably take
place, if Lee should feci in a fighting
mood, and if he should not wax belligerent,
Meade will certainly attack him.
According to all accounts, Lee's army
is very much disorganized. The result
cannot be doubtful. . All the fear is that
they may escape across the river before
Meada can overtake them.
At home you must withhold criticism
if a large portion of Lee's army should
escape, as it was not possible to remove
troops from Gettysburg tc the Potomac
faster than our troops have moved. Not
an hour's delay has occurred, except to
provide the troops with supplies, without
which they could not move.
The rebels fleeing for dear life, marched
day and night to escape Msade, and
doubtless by this time a large number of
them may have reached the river, but its
swollen condition will prevent them
from crossing over so quickly as they
expected.
Maryland heights have again been
reoccupied. It has rained almost con
stantly for three days.
The New York 7th arrived here
yesterday from. Baltimore, and has gone
to the front.
Loudon, July 8 Noon.'
Eight cf Kilpatrick'g cavalry engaged
in the fight on Monday eveuing, near
Williarnsport, have just arrrived." They
were cut off from their regiment, the 1st
Michigan. Kilpatrick's Division took
llagerstown with slight loss about Monday
noon, leaving one brigade and two guns to
prevent being flanked;
He pressed toward Williarnsport and
engaged the troops there on the front,
while Buford's Division pushed from
Sharpsburg, and both were engaged
heavily for some time, shelling the town.
Kilpatrick's force, meantime, at lla
gerstown, were attacked by an overwhelm
ing force of Ewell's Corps, infantry,
cavalry and artillery. They fell back to
the main body, losing two cannon.
Both d ivisions of cavalry retired toward
Boonsboro, on Meade's infantry. The
enemy have two pieces of heavy cannon
planted on the south side of the Potomac,
commanding the Williarnsport Ford.
They intend taking the line of battle
ground on the west side of the Conoco
chcaguc. One hundred rebel cavalry
came into Greenca-tle late last night,
taking away three citizens as prisoners.
A scout just returned from Clearspring,
six miles from Williarnsport, sajs Iniboucn
is at Williarnsport with five thousand
wagons, guarded by seven thousand men.
Sixteen pieces of cannon tried up to noon
to-day, to cross the river, but they got
only three over. Uen. Trench attempted
to get at Williarnsport yesterday, but
tailed to reach it, being repulsed. Lee's
headquarters are at llagerstown to-day.
Tiie Great Vicli&burg Campaign.
Among the reasons for the surrender,
we may mention now, that within two
weeks the topographical engineers of Gen.
Grant's armv discovered a hiirh bluff on
the river, which had been strangely over
looked before, and which commanded the
strongest fort that the rebels had con
structed for the defence of the city. This
hill was taken possession of by our forces.
and the guns that were on the gunboat
Lincmuaii before she sunk, mounted on" it.
From this fact, it is evident that Gen.
l'emberton, seeing there was no hope of
his holding out any longer, at once surren
dered. The series of campaigns, the last of
which culminated in this great success,
began so long ago that it is not necessary
to review them. Admiral Farragut de
manded the surrender of Vicksburg on
May 12th, 18G2. Tho surrender was re
fused. 3'assiog the city with his fleet
June 22d, he made a tremendous but unsuccessful-attack
upon the iortress the
ensuing day.
The siege was raised on the 21th. The
next organized attack was made by Gen.
Sherman on the 28th of December. Gen.
Sheiman was defeated. Ifc withdrew his
troops on the 2d of January, 18G3. On
the 22d the army under Gen. M'CIernand
prepared for seige operations. General
Grant arrived and took command Feb. 4th,
since which dato the opeiatfons against
the most formidable of rebel strongholds
have been under his supervision. He
commenced his first bombardment Febru
ary 18th, and continued it against brave
resistance, with few intervals of rest, for
nearly a month thereafter. Admiral Far
ragut again arrived vdih his fleet, March
21st. Two of his gunboats ran jpast the
batteries on the 25th, and six more suc
ceeded in getting by on the 16th of the
following month. On the 17th of April,
batteries, having been placed on the penin
sula, opened fire on the city. Admiral
Porter came up past Grand Gulf soon
after, shelling that place on the 29th.
Geu. Grant meanwhile being unsuccess
ful in his operations from above, crossed
his army at Milliken's bend, marched
overland to Carthage, embarked his troops
on transports? landed at Bowlinsburg, on
the east side of the river, April 30th, and
moved on towards Port Gibson. Then
began tho victorious march, so compara
tively recent, and so memorable, which
ended in the long siege which has been
pushed with such indomitable energy and
perseverance to final and complete success.
The engagement and victory at Richmond
rook place on May 12th. The battle at
Mississippi Springs ensued on the follow
ing dav. J ackson was occupied May 14th.
On the 10th the battle at Baker's Creek
was fought; and on the 17th the battle of
Big Black river bridge. Jackson, taken
possession of on the march, was evacuated
by our army on the 16th. Gen. Grant
pressed steadijAonward, and on the 18th
invested VicksVurg, and captured Haines'
and Chickasaw Bluffs. On the 19th Gen.
Steele carried the rifle-pits in front of the
city, andGen. Grant'swhole armyassumcd
a threatening position, its right and left
wings resting upon the river. A fierce
but fruitless assault was made May 22d.
The operations were reduced to a siege
soon afterwards, whijh siege, varied
occasionally by sudden assaults and
approaches, has continued with compar
atively little loss of life on our side during
the six weeks which have since intervened.
We have taken over 27,000 prisoners
beside about 4,000 non-combatants, 102
field pieces, SO siege guns, 50,000 stand
of arms, ammunition, locomotives, cars "a
few stores, 57 stands of colors. Among
the prisoners are Lieut. Gen. Pembertou,
Maj. Gens. S. Stevenson, Smith, Forney
and Bowen, 14 Brig. Gens, and about 150
Cois. There are 5,G0O men in the
hospital, half of whom are wounded. Only
150 cf the garrison are reported fit for
duty. The stock of provisions was almost
exhausted, and for four days numbers had
been eating mule flesh. Of ammunition
for heavy guns they had a fair Eupply,
but of field guns and musketry they were
short. Eight caps to a man were allowed.
They had an excess of sugar, molasses
and rice, and these were all the supplies
they had, except a little unground corn.
The latest advices from the fallen strong
hold are to the 5th instant, at which time
the prisoners had not been started for
their destination, understood to be Talla
dega, Ala. Many of them are understood
to be desirous to take the oath of allegiance,
and to come North. The latest reports
from Joe Johnson are, that he is rapidly
retreating, and General Sherman is in
hot pursuit. An offer of assistance has
been sent by General Grant to General
Banks.
I'eiuisylvaula.
There have been unnecessarily, but not
unusually, harsh things said against Penn
sylvania, in regard to her want of prepara
tion for the recent rebel invasion. The
distinction should be drawn between the
last Copperhead Legislature and the entire
action and spirit of the people during the
war, from the time when the Pennsylvania
soldiers were the first to hurry to Wash
ington at the breaking out of hostilities, to
the present moment. There is among
the loyal States no large State, or aggre
gation of the smaller States, which has
made greater contributions of troops, or
suffered more in the war, than Pennsylva
nia. Up to the beginning of this year
Pennsylvania furnished over two hun
dred thousand troops, net including the
fifty thousand militia under the call of
1802. Before the battle of Gettysburg
thirty seven thousand Pencsylvanians had
laid down their lives for their country !
Pennsylvania is the only State which has
organized at her own expense a first class
reserve force amounting to nearly sixteen
thousand men. This organization acted
under Major-Gen. McCall, Brig.-Gen.
Meade, Brig -Gen. Reynolds, and Brig.
Gen. Ord. It wa3 ready for service two
years ago; and by the act of the Legisla
ture authorizing its existence (under the
Three Million State Loan) it was for the
support of the military forces of the State
or of the United States. It was soon
absorbed by the Army of the Potomac, and
variously distinguished itself. TLe glori
ous death of Reynolds," and the glorious
work and positiou of Meade, are proofs of
the skill shown in the selection of the offi
cers from 'among the Pennsylvanians
commanding the Reserve. Had the Re
serve force been allowed to act as a reserve
no rebel troops would have invaded Pennsylvania.
