CINCINNATI Tuesday. April . 1858
Dispatches from Murfreesboro give the following
account Of the fight near Snow Hill: .t
On the I'd inst, Gen. Stanley, with 1900 cavalry,
and Col. Matthews's infantry brigade, started TO
capture Morgan's and Msrton's 9Th Regiment Of
infantry and cavalry, at Snow Hill.
Beyond Auburn they drove in the Rebel pickets-
The 9TH Pennsylvania Cavalry turned the Rebel
right, while Kentz's and Parmons Cavalry Brigade,
with Newelps Battery, moved up in front. The
enemy fed. t.a,.
The enemy's pickets were then encountered west
Of Liberty, and considerable force Of Rebels were
posted on the bluffs on the opposite side Of Smiths
Ford. They resisted, and were driven back and
formed again on Dry Fork, from whence they were
again driven. 10
The Rebels then formed thirdand stronger lneon
Snow Hill. The I'd and 4th Ohio Cavalry were sens
to the enemy's rear. They charged with sebers in
hand and broke the line of the Rebels, when the
fight ended in the flight of the Rebels.
The Rebel loss was from Is to 20 killed, number
wounded and 60 prisoners. e.i
Gen. Stanley also captured 80 horses and mules,
and a quantity of bacon and wheat, and destroyed
considerable forage. 49,
The position of the Rebels defeated Gen. Stanley's
attempt to surround and capture them. They e.
capped with their guns.
Onr loss was one private of the 9Th Pennsylvania
Cavalry, and two slightly wounded.
Gen. Stanley returned to Murfreesboro by way OF
Lebanon, capturing six prisoners at the latter point
It is reported that the gunboat Lexington and
some other boat shelIed the town of Florence the
I'd inst, and drove away a company Of Rebel cav
airy stationed there. .
special dispatch from Helena, dated the Sd inst.
says that advices from Gen. Quimby's expedition 70
the Both ult state that no progress had been made
in the reduction of Fort Greenwood.
Our forces were still in front of the enemy, and
there had been considerable diminishing between
pickets on shore. 81
The Rebels were improving the time by greatly
increasing the strength Of their works. They have
received and mounted more heavy guns, and are
well supplied with ammunition.
It is the opinion of well.informed officers that our
gunboats will not succeed in taking the place.
The country along the Tsllahatchie is occupied BY
two regiments of Confederate cavalry and swarms
with guerrillss.
One of our musAeto boats captured FIVE Rebel raft
men at the mouth of the Coldwater River, and indi-
cations of attempts to place topedoes in tho channel
have been discovered. r-.
The first reconnaissance of HaineS Bluff by gun
boats was made by Admiral Porter. The object was
one Of reconnaissance only. They proceeded within
range of the Rebel batteries and fred shots over At
them, but the shots were not returned.

A portion Of the money now being paid out to the

lin county. This story is disposed of by the
latter gentleman in a letter which we lay before
our readers with great pleasure:
CHAMBERsBURG, June %, 863.
Editor of Tie Age: notice in several papers
what purports to be conversation between
Gen. jenkins and the District Attorney Of
Franklin County, during the recent occupation
of the place by the rebel forces.
1t is alleged, that, among other things, the
general said: ''You are regular Copperhead
Lincoln ought to have hung you and the rest
of the Copperheads long ago. We would not
tolerate any such men in the Southern Confed-
eracy. We respect those who are against US
in the North much more than the Copperheads.' y
am the District Attorney of Franklin Coun-
ty have never spoken to General jenkins,
nor has he to me. To the best of my knowl-
edge | have never seen him. All the ISLANDERS
hurled at the Democratic party cannot prevent
its success in Franklin County, nor in the State,
in October.
Yours, very truly, VIM S. SrENGER.

Latest News.

BY telegraph we learn that Lee has crossed
the Potomac with his whole army and all his
munitions and stores. Gen. Meade is said al
so to have crossed.-No official account of the
surrender of Vicksburg has yet been received
from Gen. Grant. Dispatches which purport
to have been sent by Com Porter, give particu-
lars of the surrender. We are assured on 'sreli-
able authority" that 81, 900 prisoners were pa
rolled by Gen. Grant and that many cannon fell
into our hands, 1t remains to be- seen why Gen.
Grants official report is withheld from the pub
lic.-There is also telegraphic report that PIT
Hudson has surrendered with 1000 prisoners
We do not vouch for the truth of this ''heavy
business in prisoners, but we doubt not that if
Vicksburg has fallen, Pt. Hudson will inevita-
bly, meet the same fatc.-Gen. Rosecrans is said
to have captured 1000 prisoners and Bragg to
have retreated to Atlanta, Ga.-The great Draft
riot in New York city, of which we publish an
account in another column, was, at last accounts
still raging. Gov. Seymour, however, was on
the ground aud will, doubtless, succeed in quel-
the mob, as he is said to have assured them that
the State authorities would do every thing in
their power to secure to the people their rights
under the Constitution. This riot is disgraceful
and greatly to be deplored, but it is the whirl-
wind that is always reaped by those who sow to
the wind, as the Aboitionists have been doing
for the last two years. All this terrible loss of
life and poperty, might have been prevented,
had Congress passed conscription law of the
constitutionality of which there could have been
no doubt, and had not the Abolition Jacobins
made the business of mobbing common means
of securing their political ends.

The Battle of Gettysburg.
A Graphic Account of Fridays Fighting
[From the Correspondence of the Philadelphia Age

[From the spondence of the Philadelphia Age1
On Friday morning General Lee did not de-
sire to make the attack. He saw the superiori-
ty Of the Federal position, and wished to enticc
them out of it, and down into the valley. with
this design he withdrew all his sharpshooters
and infantry from Gettysburg. The deserted
town lay there a very tempting bait, but Gene
raj Meade's men hid quietly behind the fences
and trees, and banks upon the hills. They
could look down into the streets and SEQ every
thing which was IN progress They saw the
enemy march out and retire to the seminary, but
made no advance, and the Confederates gained
nothing by the movement A parting salute of
musketry, however, from knoll north of the
cemetery accelerated the Confederate retreat
For some time the town had scarcely soldier
in it. Scores of dead and wounded men and
horses, with broken wagons, bricks, stones, tim
Der, torn clothing and abandoned accoutrements,
lay there. The frightened inhabitants peered
out of their windows to see what the armies
were doing to cause such lull, and almost a.
fraid of their own shadows they hastened away
and crouched in corners and cellars at the sound
Of every shot or shell.
Gen. Lees evacuation had no effect Meade
was neither to be enticed into the town nor into
the valley. Enough dead bodies lay in the fields
and streets to give him warning of what happen
ed to poor Reynolds two days before, and he
wisely determined to stay where he was and let
events shapethemselves The enemy soon be-
came impatient. They could wait no longer; and
after much solicitation from his su5ordinates,
Gen. Lee permitted Gen. Longstreet to send his
grand division on charge upon the cemetery.
The Federal soldiers were on the alert. They
were hid behind their embankments, some kneel-
ing, and some fat on the ground. The Con-
federate artillery open. 1t was as fierce can
nonade as the one the day before, but instead Of

On THE BarrlEF1Erp
NEAR GErrYsBURd, July 7, '63.

NEAR GETTYSBURG, July 7, '63. ! (
| FRIEND MEYERS:
A short account of tile recent desperate
figat at this place, may perhaps prove interest
ing to your numerous readers,if it is worthy q
place in the columns of your valuable apd fear
less Sheet
On tho evening of the 1st of July, after the
first fight took place, we were ordered forward,
being some distance in the rear, and carly on
the morning Of the I'd, we were in our position,
| nearly on the flank of the left wing of the line
OF battle Soon after we had taken our posi-
tion, heavy firing commenced to the right of the
| centre. This gradually ceased but opened very
suddenly near the centre, continuing short
time, when it again ceased. For time all was
silent, the enemy trying to get good position.
L mounted and rode forward to take look,
when suddenly a most terrific cannonading
| commenced and for one hour tho roar of artil-
lery was deafening and the shells flew in all di-
rections, crashing and tearing through the trees
| and wounding some of our boys and their hor-
| ses. This fire slackehed and Immediately one
| of the rebel divisions charged up into small
gap in the ridge, on the extreme left, and ter
| rifle fire of small arms took place. This con-
| tlnued considerable length of time, the roar
| OF musketry being the most tremendous | eyer
| heard. The rebels made a desperate attempt
| to break through our left into our rear and had
nearly succeeded driving our men almost to the
edge of the woods, when the gallant sixth corps,
| with the old reserve division, coming up, charg-
cd full upon the enemy, driving them back with
great slaughter and regaining the lost ground.
Finally the firing ceased and ended the fight for
this day.
The sun set in a clear sky and night closed
over the battle field and our tired and victorious
army slept in their old position. The wound
ed were taken care of; every house and barn in
| our rear being converted into hospital. The
| ambulance corps were busy carrying the wound
ed oil the field, rebels as well as our own Gen.
Lee sent in flag of truce asking permission
and time to bury his dead. The reply of Gen.
Meade was, that the victors would bury the
| dead of both armies at the close of the battle.
The morning of the Sd came at last, clear and
cloudless, promising hot day. With an oc-
casional shot here and there along the line, moth
| ing occurred until about ten o'clock, A. M,
when the rebels fired two guns, apparently as a
signal, and simultaneously, almost along the
whole line, the most terrific artillery fight com
| menced that was ever witnessed on this conti-
nent. Veterans that have been in many fights,
admit this to be the most terrible they ever saw.
At the end of about two hours the cannonade
sackened, and was followed by sharp firing
! OF musketry on the right. This ceased attest,
and for near aa hear il wos sclerahip ts-ar
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1863-07-17

but, at about one o'clock the firing again COM
menced, equaling, if not exceeding the former.
The shells began to knock the chimneys off the
house in which Gen. Meade had his headquar-
ters. Here Gen. Butterfeld was struck in the
breast with piece of she'll and two of Meade's
aids were also wounded and number of hor-
seek safer place, but before the firing ceased,
he took his mounted band and rode along the
line, cheering the men by his presence and with
the soul stirring music. Towards evening the
firing slackened and finally ceased, our men re-
naming masters Of the field. Gen. Meade,
fearing that the enemy would leave during the
night pushed forward strong accommodating
party and found that such was actually the case.
He was endeavoring to steal away under cover
of tho darkness. Preparations were immedi-
ately made to follow him. A great many of
the rebel dead remain unburied, but men are
busy removing them, though the stencil is hor-
rid. The battlefield presents horrible pic
| ture-dismounted guns, broken caissons, dead
horses and men in horrid confusion. The town
of Gettysburg is pretty well riddled with shot
and she'll 1t is full Of wounded which the la
dies arc taking good care Of God bless their
uODic IcultS.
The rebel army is said to bo falling back to
some entertainments on South Mountain, in a
disorganized condition. l think Lee rues the
day he crossed the Potomac river. Our position
was a good one the line being in the shape of
a horse shoe, with Gen. Meade's headquarters
in the centre. Our batteries had excellent po-
sitions on the hills commanding the town of
Gettysburg.
Troops are arriving at this place to-day, in
large numbers. All is quiet here. We hear
that Vicksburg is ours at last. We only hope
it is true. The prisoners that we took feel dis
appointed at not being able to reach Baltimore
and Washington, though they will reach the
latter place, and l think if the truth was known,
in the way they most fancy. Lees army is
surely badly cut up and demoralized. The loss
of both sides is very heavy. cannot tell the
exact amount The day is closing, and so must
l. We are expecting orders to move every
minute Yours truly,
I PENNSYLVANIA.

SINCE the invasion of Pennsylvania by the
rebel forces, the Jacobin journals have been
engaged in circulating all kinds of absurd and
ridiculous stories for the purpose of injuring the
Democratic party. As they expect to operate
upon the crcdulity of the masses, insulting, by
their conduct, the intelligence of the people
they hope to deceive, they do not hesitate to
manufacture and give publicity 10 rumors which
they know have not the slightest foundation in
truth. 1t is almost useless to attempt a denial
of these ISLANDERS; because no sooner is one of

another is fabricated and given to the public
