After the Brigade from the lth Corps, COM
maaded by Col Noble Of the 18th Connecticut,
had expelled the enemys skirmishers and sharp.

marched through The streets with colors flying
and the band playing the National Airs.

Gen. Schemmeifenig escaped captured by re-

When he found his retreat cut of, he seized the
coat of private and buttoned it closely over his
uniform he was knocked down and run over by
a gang of rebels who were after punder. lie
then stumbled away into celler and lay there
concealed and without food for two days, but
when he heard the boys playing " Yankee Doodle
in the streets, he thought it safe to come out
He is now in command Of his brigade and ready

Sharpshooting has become q serious service IN

were shot in the rihe-pits on Friday, BY hall

this many others in the town would have beer

nine miles in going from one wing to the othei
whereas three miles on the diameter OF clrcl
was the distance between Meade's extreme infant

General Meade was not deceived in anticpat-

collected and reformed with magical haste.
Within an hour what seemed to be his whole

where the contest once more opened. The as

be made toward retrieving the fortunes OF that
army, or preventing the inevitable disgrace
which h0yered over it.

THE 18TH AND l5TH.--The Burlington Times
saws letter dated Westminster, Nd, July Sd, IN
the afternoon, gives brief statement OF the op-
erations Of the 18th and 10th regiments, during
tho battles of Gettysburg
Here we are after two days more hard
marching. We left Emmettsburg suddenly,
Wednesday about IL o'clock news having
reached us that the enemy had attacked the ad-
vance guard of our corps near Gettysburg, Penn.
Abou, three miles beyond Emme,tsburg, Gen.
Stannard with the 18th, l4th, and 10th regiments
received orders to 90 Gu to the battle ground ;
the 18th and 10th going on with the army tram
Of lst corps by another road. At about hve miles
from the scene of the battle we halted some two
hours when Gen. Sicklss coming along with the
Sd corps ordered the 18th Regiment to move al
on ce to the field; so We OF the 18th were alone
Left to guard the corps train. Weprocesded that
evening up the Taneytown road about hive miles
when we parked for the night Yesterday WI
marched all day, making 20 miles, and arriving
here about 10 o'clock last night the boys com
ple,ely played out-so much so that they dropped
down and went 10 sleep without eating mouth
full. The 18th is now coming up to assist US II
guarding the train.

Gan. LEE AND THE Pennsylvania Coal fIELDs'

ing the heart Of Pennsylvania on fire, never 10
