(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) h e women and children particularly, but stalware, ablebodied wretches in men's garments were what I saw principally on the rear. At about half-past 2 o'clock, while the batter:es exchanged a heavy fire, and some sharp musketry woke up the echoes on the right, the rebels advancing in heavy force against the First Corps, but which slowly retreated from the hills beyond the valley to high ground near the Seminary, where it prepared to make all the resistance it was capable of. It was reinforced there by some dismounted dragoons, and fought in the open field ; for, though some wall fences were thrown down across the front of our line, they afforded no cover. From the woods beyond the farm houses, and across the open space a rebel force of perhaps three large brigades anvanced hand somely in line of battle, while the rebel batteries near the general centre shelled our position hotly to cover the advance. On came the line right up within short range of our position, when it was opened upon Kith a fire so sharp and well served as to s. agger and then completely repulse it. Backward went the line that came forward in such good order, a mere mass of stragglers, each of whom made the best of his way across the plain While the mus ketry was very hot in front of Gen. Doubleday, a party of about 100 rebels stole through the woods well up on Doubleday's left flank and fired a large barn, one of those immense magazines of bread stuff's that in Pennsylvania so over peer the com paratively small farm houses. An immense black column of smoke soon began to ascend from the roof, breaking out presently into a white, sulphurous cloud, and then into a fierce red blaze. Under cover of this fire the rebel skirmishers exchanged numerous shots with a line of skirmishers from the cavalry on our extreme left. Repulsed, but not vanquished, the rebel line was reformed and rein forced, and now, for a second time, came on a force nearly twice as great as at first. Once more, also, the batteries throwing shells, answered by batteries of ours on the extreme right, which at this time throws shell at the position on the enemy's centre. Onee more the packed, rapid rattle of our file fire broke out, and once more the rebel line was broken and went to the right about in rout. There is a mysterious fatality connected with the third line, and so, after a lull and comparative quiet of twenty minutes, onward for a third time came the rebels quite as orderly as before, their line of skirmishers firing as they came on. In so great force was this line that it completely enveloped the line of the First Corps on both flanks. Two bri gades on the right were quite out of ammunition, and the order was given to retreat on the town ; and our boys accordingly retreated in good order, while the rebels rushed forward with yells to our position. On came the enemy's fourth line, further to the right of the third, in good order, skirmishers a heA, until the position at the Seminary was reached, when they came forward with a rush and occupied a hill we had deemed it worth while not to bold after the other was taken. On also came another line in support behind this, and our cavalry on the extreme left began to retire. At this moment the field presented a true war picture. Across the field to the right came the rebel line, with colours which fluttered in the pleasant breeze ; in the centre were two farm-houses, out houses, and barns in flames ; and on the left the column of cavalry in retreat. Beyond all, the rays of the sun beat down through the showery clouds and gilded every object with a peculiarly golden light, and over the heavens to the eastward stretched a magnificent rainbow. The new position of the Third Corps was at a line of stone wall south-west of the town, along the slope of a hill on which is a cemetery. When the First Corps retired to the town, the left of the Eleventh was uncovered, and a heavy advance completely on its right flank at the same time compelled it to retire. It affords me pleasure to say that this corps is reported to have fought well and lost many men. As I was on our extreme left I did not see the fight of the Eleventh Corps, and leave all particulars in relation to it to the gentleman who was with it. After our retirement on the town the rebel ad vance was not pressed farther. And so ended a battle that was brought on in a most rash manner, yet which was well fought against a largely superior force, and got out of it at last much better than we could have expected to get out. The rebel force fought by us was the corps of General Ewell and A. P. Hill. South of the town is a high hill, on which is a cemetery, and this be came the head. quarters. Its slope to the West was held by the Ist corps, and a continuation of hills from it towards each was held by the Eleventh, while the Twelfth Corps was placed so as to hold both flanks, the First Division under General Wil liams, being on the extreme right, and the Second Division, u n d er G enera l G eary, on the extreme left. rhe Third C or p s , w hi c h came on the field just at. nightfall, was Slocum, of th e T we lf t h Corps, ha d massed in the centre, ready to be used whenever occas i on m i ght requ ire. General assumed the command upon hi s arrival. commands the town, while the fight raged on Wed nesday, and at the close of that day's battle the remnants of the Ist and 11th corps were posted there and a little down the live to the right and left, and there they remained on Thursday at the commence ment of the second battle. On the open country to our left lay the 2d and 3d corps, and the sth was so massed as to fill up the third line. The 6th was put near to the sth when it came up. On Cemetery Hill we had several batteries, and, indeed, every point that could possibly conana,-..TA a fire was crowned with a battery ; for, in addition to the guns regularly attached to the corps, we had up the ►eserv~ artillery. Throughout the wide ex tent of the fields enclosed within our lines ambu• lances and ammunition trains were parked every where, and it proved that they were all under fire, for the field of fire of the rebel guns opposite our right met that of the rebel guns opposite our left in this enclosed space, sod shellsexploded everywhere, and round shot hustled through the air in every direction.

WEST OF GETTYSBURG, July 1,1 U p.m. General Butord's cavalry had previously driven the rebels to the west of the town, beyond the Seminary, and between 9 and 10 a.m. the iebets gave his pickets a pretty sharp brush, and drove them in. Gen. Reynolds, with the Ist Corps, was on the road from Emmettsburg to Gettysburg, en route to the latter place, which the road approaches through the very scene of the confi ct. General Reynolds at once threw forward the First Division, under General Wadsworth, which began to drive the enemy from the start. Very soon after the Second Division of the same coils went on the right of the First. Division, the Third Division on the left of the First, and the whole line began to advance. Nearly west of the town, just in the outskirts, near the Seminary, of which I have spoken, is a large brick edifice. Southward from this runs a piece of woods, and the S, minary stands on a ridge, which slopes to the west into a little open valley of ploughed fields and meadows, rich with grass and grain. Beyond the valley is a ridge of higher land, thickly wooded. The valley runs in a south-westerly direction, and at its lower ex tremity is a large farm house, near which the Bth Illinois Cavalry was drawn up in the field, and formed our extreme left. Several farm houses (lotted this same rich little valley. Across this valley General Reynolds' line advanced somewhat hastily, almost before it was well formed, and in that condition did not go far until against it a heavy force of the rebel infantry was immediately thrown, and Gen. Reynolds was in turn driven back, but his troops retired step by step, and in excellent order. Forward, with the utmost enthusiasm, pressed the rebel line, eager now to turn Reynolds retirement into a rout. Some of the rebels had too much energy, and got too far; for, while they pressed too closely on the right of the centre division, the left of the same division was suddenly swept around, and tt.en en closed in the handsome manner an entire rebel bri gade under Gen. Archer. Gen. Archer and his whole staff were taken. About 1,500 of the enemy's men thus fell into our bands, and went to the rear. Small regiments were the order in this brigade, and when an Alabama colonel was asked where the rest of his regiment was he responded laconically, " Gone to h-11, sir." One of these prisoners said to an other with some astonishment, " fleb ! J ikey ' s we're fighting the Amy of the Potomac n .w." They seem to have thought they had hold of the militia. The regiments which made this capture were the 6th Wisconsin, the Brocklyn 14th, and the 95,11 New York. Though the Ist corps still continued to retire, the rebel advance was broken soon after this, and Gen. Reynolds now prepared to go for ward in earnest. July 2. General Reynolds, it seems more and more clear, fought rashly on Wednesday, and very probably against the wishes of the commander of the army ; yet his battle, which lost us many men, gave us full information of the whereabouts of the enemy's main body, and committed the enemy to the position north of G ttysburg, or perhaps led him to believe that we had a grea Ter force in his front than we then bad, and so made him fear to make any such considerable movement as would be necessary to take up a new position in presence of this army. At Gettysburg all the good roads in this part of the country converge. All tile other roads, except those that meet here, are mere byeways for the use of the neighbourhood, narrow and soon cut up, and thus rendered unfit for the movement of an army- North ward from Gettysburg run roads to Harrisburg, and southward from it run three good roads, the principal and best of which is the Baltimore turn pike. Fur any movement towards its own border, therefore, the possession of these roads which run to the south was necessary to the Southern army, and these roads once in our possession the position of the Southern army became critical ; for should Lee attempt to retire by any other roads than these, we should have a shorter line to any point on his route, and could consequently hit him wherever we choose; while if he should fight us without these roads and win, he would win but little more than a way to get out, and if decisively beaten his defeat would be very disastrous. After what had taken place on Wednesday, and with the knowledge of the force that had come up, there was good reason to believe, and all in camp did believe, that the day would be ushered in with the noise of battle. Day broke in quiet, however, and breakfast was taken at ease. Now and then there were little disputes between the enemy's pickets and ours in the streets of the town, for we held part and they part, and sometimes a gun in one of our bat teries would send an experimental shell towards the enemy's lines. The enemy through all this kept marvellously shy with his artillery, and did not fire a shot, which it was thought indicated that heavy ammunition was scarce in the rebel camp. During all the earlier part of the day very tittle was known in respect to the enemy's movements, but it was thought to be clearly made out that he was massing his forces on our extreme right. In view of this additional preparations were made to meet whatever might come in that direotion. But there were some who thought from the first that the movements of the enemy towards our right were made only for a show, and to distract attention from more important points; for such was the nature of the country that, had the enemy really wished to mass his forces there, he could have done it without making a man visible. Ail day more or less picket firing had taken place on our left, and it became pretty sharp between 2 end 3 p.m. Some movements were in progress be hind this fire, and to develop these General Sickles was ordered to advance with the whole Third Corps. Ibis advance brought on the general engagement. Under cover of a fire from the eight brass pieces in battery on the open field, the corps went forward in line of battle, corps and division and brigade colours all in the air, and the men in excellent spirits. Then the enemy's artillery, so long silent, began on our left at the pieces in the field. In turn our pieces on Cemetery Hill opened on those of the enemy in the field; other batteries of the enemy nearer our centre opened on those on Cemetery Hill, and so it went around until our guns on the northern face of the hill engaged the enemy's batteries two miles across the country on our right. The whole valley in which Gettysburg lies was one immense network, with the trace of shells from battery to battery. Such a concentration of fire on our position naturally necessitated some move ment of ambulances and ammunition waggons, and in ten minutes after this extensive duel began the Baltimore turnpike was lined with vehicles in motion towards safer places, All sorts of shaky fellows also improved this op portunity to effect a slight skedaddle, and soon the column of men in motion towards the rear became more considerable than the column of vehicles. When men once begun to go each addi tional shell that explodes in the air above them makes them want to go faster, and owing to this peculiar constitution of the human animal, a stam pede down the Baltimore road was imminent, when a line of men was established and every fellow dis posed to retire was forced to the front. By this shelling the Cemetery Hill was cleaned. All day it had been occupied by lines of men, and there groups of officers gathered together, inspected the position, and canvassed the possibilities. Many men sat upon the graves, leaned against the tomb stones, and recounted their various mischances. Orderlies came and went incessantly, for there Generals Howard and Steinwehr had their head quarters. Altogether the City of the Dead was a very lively place; but very soon atter the artillery fire became warm, it was deserted by all but the generals whose headquarters were there, and the men necessary to hold the place. Meantime the musketry fire on our left seemed to become every moment more and more fierce. Already the Third Corps had once been driven in disorder from ground it had won, but rallied by Gen. Sickles in person, it had again gone forward, and now held its place with desperate tenacity against a very heavy force, for this advance on our loft had de veloped that the enemy's force were in reality massed here; and when the Third corps took the initiative, it only precipitated an attempt on the part of the enemy which might otherwise come when we wer not so well prepared to receive it. Hard pressed on its whole line, the Third corps called for support, and at five p.m. the Fifth corps was marched from its position on theßaltimore turn pike, by a little cross road right across to the little tilll just north of Sugar Loaf Hill, and went into action on the left of the Third corps. The advance developed still further the intention of the enemy, which was to get around our left flank, and so to get at the Einmettsbarg road, and perhaps at our ammunition waggons near it. As the division of regulars and Griffin's division of the Fifth corps went forward, and before the fire had opened in their front, some fire swept from their left down the line, and the right brigade of the division of regulars was wheeled so as to face that way. No sooner had it done so than the fire in front opened, which then came in the rear of the right brigade and threw it into same confusion; but it was rallied and went on again, and the line of the two divisions drove the enemy before it until it had taken the position previously occupied by one of the enemy's batteries. Here a fire was concentrated on these two divi• sions from batteries further to the rear, and at the same time the enemy was reported on the left. At once the line was ordered to retire, and went back steadily to the crest of the hill. This hill was not particularly precipitous, but on the front it was very rough and rocky, and the crest aas covered with a growth of scrub oaks. Apparently forgetful that he had at first only gone to support cavalry, he was very like to bring on a general engagement with only one corps. Formed as before, his line went forwarl, drove the enemy across the valley, and over the ridge at the farther side, but it was at great expense to us,as the fire with which they received our fellows was ter ribly severe. From the hill the line of skirmishers was thrown oat some distance, and Gen. Reynolds went out to the line to reconnoitre when he was hit by a musket ball in the back of the neck and killed instantly. n r dt a h t ahcpe corps r r l po e sa s s ee ha t em h d a : n ua p a n n dt h h Ge o es u na r .m a He f t or e ow r a a t dr h db e y fi a tw g h oh t ni co began t i. h st e l as sumed commend of the . whole field, while General Schurz assumed the command of the 11th corps. General Doubleday had already assumed the command of the First Corps. Across the north side of the town runs a creek, on which shortly after noon it was reported the rebels were massing troops, apparently to take the First Corps on its rear. To guard against an advance from that direction Gen. Howard sent forward the First and Third Divisions of the Eleventh Corps, which moved across the rear of the First Corps, and through the town, and took up position with the First division on the right. Gen. Stein wehr's division, the second, held as a re serve. • Ileantime two or three of our batteries held a sharp parley with the rebel batteries posted on the hills that encircle the town, and their balls overshot our batteries somewhat, and threw several shot in among the solid people of Gettysburg. Whether it frightened them or not I can hardly say. I doubt if they could experience so Avely an emotion as that of fear, bat they began to get out of the way, not General Meade, therefore, began from the first to mass his forces in such a manner as would enable him to hold those roads to the best advantage. South of the town the country is generally hilly ; but there are three hills that deserve especial men tion, as they form the points on which our line is drawn—Cemetery hill. in the southern edge of the town ; a nameless hill halt a mile to the east of Cemetery hill, and Sugar Loaf hill, directly south of Cemetery hill and about two miles distant from it. Between Cemetery hill and Sugar Loaf hill the country is open and level, and our men in that position faced directly west from Cemetery Hill to the nameless one ; we faced to the north, and be tween the latter and Sugarloaf Hill you looked to the southeast. Our position was there a somewhat irregular triangle, and its peculiarity was that, practically, it had no flanks ; for in case of necessity the line could have swept around so that the ex treme right and left would meet on the turnpike. Our line from Cemetery Hill to the right was on a rocky ridge, very thickly wooded ; and here, during the early part of the day some defences were con structed under the direction of Generals Williams and Geary, of the 12th corps, which was posted at this placed. Though many of those who helped to construct these defences thought that they would, like countless others, amount to very little when the fight came, they proved eventually to be of the utmost value. Gen. Steinwelar occupied Cemetery Hills which It was half an hour before sunset, and now came the final great attempt with which the rebels usually endeavour to close up great engagements — the attempt which certainly has in the larger num bers of instances been crowned with success. Here,s however, it met a different fate. Two divisions, which proved to be Anderson's and MehL.aswgre_Tl Longstreet's corps, were formed for a t attempt, and came forward in theirduto cl,, me over; magnifi cent style.

General Wadsworth sent down a few men from the First corpN, and Col. David Ireland, of the 1371 h New York, gathered together some loose men on the road, and compelled them to take their places behind the field works against General Greene's position. The enemy advanced in two lines. Our men held their places well, and repulsed at this point four charges, when the enemy gave up all further efforts. Though I recount General Greene's victory thus briefly, the fire on his front was continuous for 30 minutes. BATTLE FIELD SOUTH OF GETTYSBURG, July 2—Midnight. For seven hours without cessation 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 has yet seen. General Meade, once fully aware of the enemy's whereabouts, determined to take his own time and mass his forces properly before fighting the great battle, and in that view did not assume an offensive attitude, but merely occupied 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 battle. But the enemy had other ideas as to the time when the battle should take place, and this afternoon some extensive moven,ents towards our left were disco vered, and General Sickles was ordered to advance his whole corps, and was engaged from 3 to 5 p.m., and behaved admirably. Though driven back once, it was rallied by the general in person, and went on again, giving end receiving a very heavy fire. Soon after 5 o'clock the Fifth corps went into action on the left of the Third corps. At that time, us for three hours previously, the cannonading was very heavy. Bf sides the guns in batteries regularly attached to different corps, we had on the field many batteries of the reserve artillery, posted on emi nences at different points in the field, and these, with our guns on Cemetery hill, thundered tremen dously. Rebel batteries were also at work in every direction, and as our lines form nearly a circle, shells fram the rebel batteries on both our flanks exploded near the centre of our position continually, and made it a hot place. _ _ But, as usual, the fighting at close quarters and the musketry fire were infinitely the most destruc tive, and this continued along our left for four hours. About 7 p.m. one of those magnificent charges of infantry so much favoured in the rebel tactics, was made by the divisions of APLaws and Anderson. This advance was made by about 15,000 men, formed in columns of divisions, and was directed 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 only by General Green's brigade, which almost alone repulsed the night attack. Every one is eY.hamted, and there is great misery for want of water. BALTIMORE, July 3. During the night of Wednesday Gen. Meade arrived and commenced fortifying the heights by the construction of abattis and throwing up earth works for a distance of over a mile, in the form of a crescent, his left resting upon the Emmettsburg pike and his right upon the hills east of the town, There was no fighting on the morning of Thursday. We occasionally threw shell into the woods north west of the town as feelers, but developed nothing but pickets and skirmishers. Gen. Meade, however, knew that he had a cun ning enemy, and relaxed none of his vigilance or caution. _ About 12 o'clock skirmishing commenced on our left centre, and was kept up on both sides quite briskly by the sharpshooters. Gen. Robinson re marked that this was only a feint of the enemy— that he would soon appear in force somewhere else. True enough, about 4 o'clock cannonading and shell ing commenced moderately on our extreme lett, where the Third corps, Gen. Sickles, and Second, Gen. Hancock, were posted, and in the course of an hour increased to the most terrific degree, accom panied with repeated onslaughts from their infantry, who yelled like so many hyenas. Their intention was undoubtedly to turn our left, to accomplish which purpose they had, as usual, massed their full force upon our extreme left. General Lee conjectured that our ammunition trains were parked in that quarter, and he wished to cap ture them, but General Meade had taken the pre caution to place his old corps—the gallant Fifth— there in reserve, to guard against any such sur prise. Between 5 and 6 o'clock the third corps, having withstood with frightful loss many successive charges of the enemy's infantry, of many times their numbers, began to show signs of weakness, and the Fifth were ordered to charge in and relieve them, which they did with a will, and forced the enemy back a mile and a half, making many Persons who have never witnessed a battle c an have to conception of the grandeur prisoners of the s cene. The air was perfectly thick withthe bursting shells, and the firing of the musketrya summer's fill e d the space with bullets like hailstone in shower, scattering death and destruction on every side. This was undoubtedly the fiereesutactonbteestetrorfibthle.e war, and the loss on bot h sides must The enemy were most ee desperater in their attacks.

M Meanwhile, our boysstood like walls of stone a nd receiv ed their fire, returning it with interest, w hile our li g ht batteries m owe d the enemy down with grape and canister, till the Fifth corps came to their support and delivered their fire. Then it was that with one magnificent, combined, enthu siastic charge they dispersed the rebels, and drove them back from their designs upon our left. It was in this attack that the brave and gallant Colonel Ed. Everett Cross, of Arizona, Colonel of the Fifth New Hampshire, and commanding the First brigad3 of the First division of the Second corps, received his mortal wound. Colonel Cross was u native of Lancaster, N.H., but has been much on the Plains_ He settled in Arizona, and was secretary of a silver mining company there. He Published the ilrizonian newspaper, and got into a difficulty with Silvester Mowry, who elaim'd to ba elected a delegate in Congress from the Territory. They fought with rifles, and Cross's piece having gone off first, he stood while INlowry took deliberate aim at him, but fortunately did not hit him. Colonel Cross raised the Fifth New Hampshire Regiment at the commencement of the war, and has been in the service ever since. Ho was highly recommended for military governor of Ari zona last winter, but the office was not created. He was wounded by a minie ball in the abdomen, which came out at the spine, at about six or half past six o'clock, and lived till half-past twelve last night.

The event of the day yesterday was the Internationa Match between and Scotland. In modern times the ballad of " Chevy Chase" and the deeds which inspired it have both pass ed much out of recollection. We have no longer border feuds to maintain the distinctly national feelings of the two countries. But for all there werei ndications yes terday that the old rivalry has not altogether died out, and that when a legitimate occasion presents itself for exhibit ing that spirit in its better and more patriotic form, it ceases to be latent, and springs into full activity in the breast of every Celt and Southron. The groups round the firing points yesterday may not have been as numerous as those which assembled to witness the match between the Lords and Commons, but they were certainly more enthusiastic. Every bull's-eye or miss—and of the latter there were very few—might almost have been scored from the faces of the spectators carrying telescopes, before the marker put up the signal disc. The regulations for the contest, framed by Lord Bury and Mr. Horatio Ross, and sanctioned by the Council of the Association, provided that every competitor should fire 15 shots at each of three ranges-800, 900, and 1,000 yards. It was consequently difficulty, if not impossible, to complete the match in one day. For convenience of shooting it was arranged that the eight at either side should be divided into two squads of four each, and upon this system the match began at a very early hour. In nearly every case the Whitworth rifle was used, and the recumbent position in firing was chosen by the competitors. There were, however, some exceptions. Lord Elcho and Major Halford preferr ed the sitting posture, and Mr. Farquharson fired in the peculiar attitude in which he is so much at home that while in the act of assuming it he seems to be dropping off to sleep and forgetting all about the match. A novice trying to imitate it for the first time would probably find the position provoca tive of cramp rather than comfort. It was observed throughout the day that the Scotch Eight were slower in taking aim, as well as more deliberate in all their move ments, than their English rivals. The latter shot through the 800 yards' distance in a shorter time, and when they had finished the next stage, and removed to the 1,000 yards' firing point, the Scotch Eight had not much more than half accomplished their proper number of shots at the 900 yards' range. The fortunes of the day were variable, and this in creased the interest felt by the spectators in the ultimate re sult. At the end of the first stage the Scotch were three ahead. A proposition was made to discontinue the match at this p o i n t, o wing, as was understood, to indisposition on the part of one of the sons of Mr. Ross. But after formal envoys had gone backwards and forwards between the respective Eights, the English side declined to acquiesce in the pro posal, there having been a preliminary agreement between the captains that the match should be shot out, under what. ever circumstances. By the time that the 900 yards' range had been half shot through the Scotch added three to their former majority; but after this period their shooting fell off so decidedly that, when the 15 shots apiece had been fired on both sides, England was in a majority of 32, or, de ducting the balance of 3 remaining from the 800 yards' range, in a majority of 29 upon the aggregate score. It is difficult to account for this sudden deterioration in the shooting of the Scotch Eight, but it is said that they ex perienced the full disadvantage of a change of wind, which their opponents being about to be g in at a new distance did not feel so detrementally. There was a possibility though not a probability, that the English Eight would beableto c o m plete all their ranges before gunfire, .and as they had fire 10 rounds out of the beta shooting so successfully at the prey: us distance they falling, but having added determined to persevere as long as they could at the 1,000 ItY' were then forced to desist. would clearly not have considerable time apparently spent in preparaeons, they sent word to the Captain of the English Eight that they did not mean to t they nihbeltmrorhooacisueteglntceighhgrathatreope, figeeh: previous thei rgueo hysn dwti hldaess score , contrary,ri rnoatuPhf naiedy !Ind after a a s b r t n o i n r enter upon the 1,000 -yards ranmgeighutntbile t e h n i Havinge advantage fhe a va ntage of sighting shots to begin with, and raottiornnid.ngßlitigthto, course,fthe3, Must take their chance of encountering wind or r • • fine weather, with the wind to a great extent rain, either of which would tell in favour of the English Eight, whose shooting was re y down the range.
