Scenes on the Battlefield.

A Gettysburg special of July 9th
says:
The battlefield, for miles around, is
covered with rifles, bayonets, blankets,
cartridges, boxes, clothing 60, &C., and
thousands of dollars worth of it are be-
ing carried off daily by those visiting
the scene of the late conflict. The. ap.

The citizens of L. were collected at the

The sound ofrevolt had thrilled from

At length the long train stopped
Some sprang from the cars and min.
gled with the crowd of citizens;
others sat still and conversed freely
with those outside, from their open
windows. They seemed to be regarded
as the com mon property of our Country,
and each We'd with the other in acts of
kindness to them. The contents of the
baskets we're soon distributed, with
many hearty "Thank you, sir" "God
bless you, sirl"
The young ladies Of L. had not been
idle, but had distributed bouquets of
flowers, and spoken kind, encouraging
words to the poor soldiers, for they felt
that these brave sons of Liberty had
laid their lives upon the altar of their
Country. They thought of the dan.
gers into which they were rushing; of
loving mothers, sisters, and lovers at
home, and many fearful eye told how
deeply they felt for them.
There was one among the mum Der, a
fair-haired girl, DER whose sunny brow
scarce fifteen summers had passed, who
stood holding in her small white hand
neatly-tied bunch Of flowers, almost
fearing TO present them to any one.-
At length she ventured to offer them to
tall, handsome young man who stood
near her. He received them courteous
ly and kindly. He had only time to ex-
change few words with the fair donor,
when the signal of departure was
heard, and the train moved off, amid
cheers and the waving of handker-
chiefs. AS he sat gazing npon the
beautiful flowers, and dreaming of the
modest blue eye upturned to his as he
received them from her hands, how
was he delighted to discover, almost
concealed amid their blushing petals, a
small and neatly inscribed card, with
the words, "Alice -, l.,

gcon-General Hammond, Of the U nited
States army:
Wounded left In hands at Gettysburg 900

sound prisoners 900
Captured at Falling Waters, on the Potomac 900

This, although the principal, is only
one item in the account. The entire
bill of the rebel losses in men killed,
wounded, prisoners and missing, during
the last three weeks, will hardly fall
short of the following figures:

These crushing losses leave to the re-

COLLAPSE OF THE CoNFED.
ERACY.


When the experimental Southern
Confederacy under JEFF. Davis was frst
organized, in February, 1861, at Mont
gomery, Alabama, it embraced seven
States, known as "the cotton States
to-wit: South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texas. The bombardment of Fort
Sumpter, and the secession of Virginia
two months later, enabled the South
ern revolutionary oonspirators, by ter.
rorism and by fraud, to drag into their
sanguinary embraces the additional
States of North Carolina, Tennessee and
Arkansas. They also claimed the
States of Kentucky and Missouri under
the most impudent false pretences, and
for considerable time stoutly resiste d
by arms the will of the people of said
States aud the authority and power of
the Federal Government. As repre-
sented in the rebel Congress at Rich.
mond, from 1861 down to the prese t
day, the territorial area of the so-called
Confederate States comprised:

BroWnlow's Son,

A letter from Shelbyville, Tennessee,
in the Mobile Advertiser, says:
The most daring and dashing of the
cavalry leaders on the Yankee side in
Middle Tennessee, is Col. Brownlow,
son of the notorious and iufam Gus old
Parson Brownlow of Knoxville. He is
young, rather handsome, a great dandy
and lady's man, and like his father, a
gass pipe or blow-bird of the most ter.
rife description, His Lieut.. Colonel
is Andy Johnson's son-two nice young
men for a small tea party, truly! Tho
commanding a regiment, Brownlow is
nearly always out at the head of small
scouting parties, trying to ambuscade
our boys, and leaving saucy messages
in writing for them at houses on neutral
ground. In one of these messages,
about a month ago, he offered s. 900 if
one hundred of the best men of Patter.
sons regiment would come out and
fight him and one hundred of his me n
in open ground.

In January, 1862, the military lines
OF jeff Davis, extending from Harper.
Ferry through Northwestern Virginia
and through Kentucky and Missouri
lnclosed and held about 75O 900 square
miles of this territorial area claimed by
the rebellion. BY January, 1863, ex

expelled from One-third of Virginia, the

thirds of Arkansas, one. half of Ten mes

But how stands the matter now2"
With the capture of Vicksburg and
Port Hudson, we have disposed of the
rebel armies of the valley of the Miss
issippi; and with the liberation of the
splendid army of General Grant, and
the equally heroic though smaller army
of Gen. Banks, we heVe at least one
hundred thousand veteran troops added
to our movable forces 10 the West, with
only contemplate squad of a few
thousand armed rebels here and there
between Arkansas and Texas. Practi
calIy, therefore, we may already consid-
er Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas, as rescued from the rebellion.
Next, with the expulsion of Bragg
from Tennessee, that State may be pro
nounced as wholly recovered from the
gripe of King Davis and his instru
ments. The area of the States and
parts of States, therefore, actually re
naming under the control of the armed
forces of the rebellion at this time, may
thus be summed up:
