The News.

The news of the past week upon the
whole is very cheering. Our forces I'M
der Gen. Meade have met the rebels
under Zen. Lee near Gettysburg in
Pennsylvania and giving them severe
thrcohing. We will condensc the re-
ports are m the voluminous dispatches.
Some skirmishing was done on the so,h
day Of June by Buford's cavalry, but
the enemy being too strong for him he
fell back to Gettysburg on Wednesday

his cavalry and fought them desperately
III the streets of the town. The lst
army corps soon after arrived and
while they were establishing their

head by Minnie ball and died soon
after. The 18th corps soon after came
up but the enemy being in too strong a
force, they drove our forces through the
town to hill upon the outskirts which
they held at night. In the afternoon
they We're reinforced by the 18th and
during the night by the end and Sd
corps and on the next morning by the
9th army corps. During the LIST the
rebels under Hill, Ewell and a part Of
Lorgstreet's force gained upon our for

this days fight it is reported our loss
was between two and three thousand in

It is rumored that Kirby Smith com.
mands the rebel force and that he said
he would take the id Niger camp
or wade in blood to his knees. 1t was
first reported that the rebels shot all
the prisoners taken, when they got to
Richmond 10 miles from here. We
have since learned that the proposition
was made and the la. troops were for
executing it, but that the Texan troops
drew up in line Of battle and declared it
could not be done, while they bore arms.
Good for Texans. The threat is not
executed. The officers are kept in close
confinement and the prisoners arc treat
cd with rigor. l understand however
they will be regarded as prisoners and
exchanged the same as white soldiers.
A rebel force is still lowering about the
vicinity Of Richmond said TO he six
thousand strong. Wo may be attacked
again, but / doubt not we will give a
good account Of ourselves it SO. Two
additional regiments have come into
