SKETCH OF GEN. REYNOLDS.

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribunc.]
WASHINGTON, July :, 1858.
4 dispatch las been received in this city
this forenoon, stating that sharply con
tested battle was fought at Gettysburg, in
Pennsylvania, yesterday. The rebel Gen.
Longstreet attacked The 1stcorps Of the Army
of the Potomac, under the command of Mai
Gen. John J. Reynolds, evidently with the
intention Of diyerting the attention of Gen.
Meade and preventing his grand movement
against the main column Of Lee.
Lopgstrect utterly fniled in accomplishing
his purpose, and was completely routed. The
loss On both sides, it is reported, was quite
seycrc. We regret to be compelled to an-
nouncc that Major Gen. Reynolds was killed.
&c led his men in person, exposing himself
in the thickcst Of the 1glt.
The result Of the battle was failuro to
galn certain points attempted by the 1st
corps.
Baltimore papers Of this morning report the
evacuation Of Maryland Heights. In order
that tlis ,nay not be understood as reverse
on our part, VIC would etate that it WIS about
the first act Of Gen. Meade In the execution
Of his p1ans for movement against the rebel
army.
The cyacuation was executed in good order,
everything Of value being removed and the
works blown up and destroyed, so that the
enemy cannot uEe them.
The steamer which was to haye left An
napolis yesterday, with several hundred ID
dies for James Rl7er and Dixie, did not de-
part, owing probably, 10 military operations.
The current Tunors Of The Presidents in
tcntion to recall Mcclellan to the command
Of the army, are totally g:ound1ess. Per
sons conEersant with the causes Of General
Rockers removal assert TINT the grounds for
action on the part Of the Government were
60 similar IN both cases, that the recall Of
Mcclellan would be simply selfstultiGca-
tion
Noparticulars have been received Of the
battle to-day in Pennsylvania, up to this hour,
10p. m. Letters from Frederick say that
the seceszioniEts Of that place looked blue
over the reports Of yesterdays fight, and ad-
mitted loss Of $500.
BALTIMORE, July 2.-The american has
tic following in regard to the battle Of Get
tysbnrg:
VIC regret 10 learn from IN officer who
brought the body Of Gen. Reynolds, that
Brig Gen. Paul was killed in the eame fight,
on the south Of Gettysburg. Col. Stone and
Col. WI=tar we're both wounded and taken
prisoners.
Gen. Town took command Of the corps on
tlc fall of Gen. Reynolds.
We lea7n from officers Of Gen. Reynolds 8
st fl, that our forces passed through Gettys-
burg at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and
when one quarter Of mile west Of the town
they encountered Longstreet and Hill, who
attacked the corps Of Gen. Reynolds, which
was in the advance. This corps stood tho
whole torcc Of the attack until 1t Was relieved
by the Sd corps and 4 commanding position
secured.
The rebels made Al attempt to flank the po-
sition we had gained but we're repulsed.
Generals Reynolds aud Paul fell under q
vo11cy from the rebel infantry. Both officers
were mounted and at the head Of their troops.
In the course Of the conflict we fell back be-
fore superior numbers to a stronger position,
and the fight ceased for to-day at four o'clock,
| and ut The close Of the evening the whole
| army Of the Potomac had reached the fight,
| and Major General Meade had a11 the corps
strongly posted for renewal Of the battle
this morning.
The loss Of the enemy is considered to be
fully equal to ours. The army Of the Poto-
mac is in fine condition, and yery enthusins-
tic. Our loss Of officers Is severe. Our army
ls regarded MS being better concentrated than
| tie rebels for the eyents Of to-day.
| WASHINGTON, July o.-The latest dispatch
cs received from Gen. Meade, were dated last
night. They state that tho corps engaged
| with Gen. Ewelrs army, we're Gen. REYNOLDS
