Jects OF Lees campaign ana the cause oil
its failure, and also the present views
of the rebel government.
The intercepted dispatches give the
information that Beauregard is in Rich
mord, and perhaps on his way to Cul--
pepper.
The New York Tribune has news
from Meade's army up to twelve o'clock
on Sunday. The late victory gets bright
err and brighter. The enemy were in
full retreat toward Chambersburg and
Greencastle. 1t is thought that Lee will
strain every nerve to reach Hagerstown,
and it is thought that his aim is to reach
Williamsport, and thence escape into
Virginia.
The messenger who brought the &C.
count of Fridays battle to Baltimore
says we advanced and occupied Gettys-
burg on Friday night without opposition.
Firing was heard early Sunday morn
ing towards Gettysburg, supposed to be
our forces pursuing Lee.
Reliable information received in
Washington on Sunday, asserts that Gen.
Lees headquarters were at Cashtown,
Pa, Saturday afternoon, and further
represents that the rebels were fortify-
ing at Newman's Cut in the South
Mountains, apparently to cover retreat.
A gentleman who lives on the road to
Fayetteville, Pa, 10 miles from Get
tysburg, and who arrived at Philladel-
phia on Sunday, says that at 4 o'clock
Saturday afternoon be heard firing which
continued til! nearly dark. Sunday
morning it again commenced at an early
hour and continued till o'clock but not
nearly as heavy as the night before
He left at o'clock and the firing had
not been renewed. The sound was in the
direction of Gettysburg.
THE CASUALTIES OF THE THREE DAYS. |
We have only irreg ular and scatter
ing reports of the casualties in three
days battles at Gettysburg. An army
surgeon on the field roughly estimates
the Union losses in the three days at
$500 killed and 10000 wounded and
prisoners. Among our killed was the
eldest son Of Mr.. Wilkinson, correspon-
dent of the New York Times, and be
wrote a sketch of the battle 10 sight Of
bis sons grave.
REBEL LOSSES.
Gen. Bradley L. johnson of Mary
land was killed in Thursdays at
tack on our right. He was struck by
a shell while charging our lines at the
head of his division. Gen. Hood is also
to have had his left leg shot off,
from the effects of which he has since
died Gen. Barksdale is dead, and bur-
led in our lines. The citizens of Gettys-
burg affirm that Lee is certainly wound
ed. Gems. Kemper and johnson, rebels,
are killed. The rebel Brig. Gen. Armi-
stead was wounded, captured, and sub
sequently died. The rebel Brig, Geu.
Heath was wounded.
There is no truth in the report of the
capture of Longstreet or Hill. There
is dead major general in our hands
name unknown.
PRISONERS PASSING THROUGH BALTI-
MORE.
Twenty-three hundred prisoners pass
ed through Baltimore on S sunday
hundred more were shortly ex-
pected, which will make 200 for Sun
day. This is but small installment, il
is said, of all who are to come. While
passing through the streets, some parties
had the bad taste to raise cheers of tri-
lmph, which induced the rebels to give
vent to yells and cheers for JEFF and the
southern confederacy. In addition to ;
hese, $50 passed through Friday night,
which will make the entire number so
ar fully 5000.
INCIDENTS OF THE BATTLE.
Corporal Hayden of the 1st Mime
sofa was captured-escaped, seized a
nusket and seized rare opportunity,
and actually made ten rebels surrender.
While marching them to Gen. Gibbons
quarters a rebel behind tree on the
way drew a bead on him with his rifle.
Hayden saw him in time to bring his
piece to level, and cry out Surrender"
The fellow actually threw down his gun |
md joined the cavalcade, and Hayden
,ame in with eleven captives.
Capt. Gushing, company A, 4th regu- !
ar artillery, was killed, and his battery |
uttered severely. The gallantry of this !
'fficer is beyond praise. Severely woun- !,
led early in the afternoon, he refused to ,
cave bis post beside his guns, but con-
iuued TO pour grape and canister into the b
advancing columns of the rebels until
hey had reached the very muzzle of his y

empting to turn them upon our forces,
when they were driven off by our infant 0
