The Great Battle at Gettysburg
BRILLIANT SUCCESS OF Our TROepS.

heeu fought in the neiahbofhood Of Ceshtown
between Gettystv-z and Chambersburg. IL
is believed that we have suffered heavy losses
in officers Aue men, but Lee 10 so crippled as
TO be placed on the defensive. Yesterday
zen. Meade assumed the offensive.
The day before Lee had attacked Meade,
and was repulsed with heavy loss. Lee holds
gap In south Mountain, near Chsmbersburg,
through which he hopes to escape II defeated.
A guard stationed at bridge eighty -foar, on
the Northern Central Railroad, heard firing
in that direction like that Of ayisg artillery,
whence it IL believed Plesssnbon - again at
work with his dsshing esvslry, fighting for
the possession of the Gap.
Itis universally understood that Lee is now
attempting to carry out the finale Of his plans,
that Of advancing 90 Baltimore and Wash
ington, more particularly the latter place.
Even il he gets rid of Gen. Meades large
army he cannot successfully approach the for
tifcations at this point. The officials feel
doubly certain to say nothing OF the rebels
inability to whip Cen Meade. Ger. Sykes
succeeds Gen. Meade in command of the 5th
corps, and Gen. Wordsworth the lamented
Reynolds in the LIST corps.
