From Gen. Lees Army.

Confederate account Of he Battle Of Getty,
6urg-General Lee (dlli back in good Or.
der TO Hagsrsto,on.
A wounded officer Of Wnghts Brigade,
who arrived in Richmond on tho 9th, gives
asme highly interesting PARTICULARS Of the
battles 9f Gettysburg, which entirely chan
ges the face Of the news published from
Northern sources. He left Gettysburg at
IL o'clock on Saturday morning. From
his statement We gather the following par
,ticulars:
10 the fight CT Wednesday and Thurs
day We whipped the enemy badly. On Fri
day the light again commenced, being chief
ly done BY our centre, which was composed
OF Long,treets corps and two divisions of
Gen. A. r. HilPs corps. Neither the right
nor len wing vas seriously engaged. We
drove the enemy back five miles 10 the
heights which no had fortified. In driving
them this five mills we broke through two
Of their lines Of battle formed to receive the
onset Of opr troopS and fnally charged
them TO tho heights. Here our men we're
ordered 70 charge the heights. and the order
being executed resulted 10 our repulse.
On Friday night our wagon trains were
ordered to fall bscG, and commenced oo;n1
TO tho rear. Its supposed that our army
fell back from want Of provisions. There
was no scarcity Of ammunition, for there
were many trains Of ordnance out Of which
not single cartridge or shell had been
taken. Some Of them were attacked by
the enemy. but Imbodso's cavalry snccsss
fully drove them off, Those Of our men
who were slightly wounded and could walk
were sent Of Saturday about noon. Those
who were severely wounded were left in
hospitals near the battle field.
In the tights Of Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday, Gen. Lee took about 10000
prisoners, who were promptly sent TO the
sssr, and who our informant thinks, will
roach Virginia sateIy. During the same
time We lost about 1000 prisoners and about
1000 killed and wounded-makjng our
loss 10000 in all. The battle was the most
furious that has taken place in this country
and the losses Of the enemy in killed and
wounded must exceed ours In the charge
upon them which drove them Eve miles,
their loss, while flying before our troops,
wss enormous.
Our informant says that our army fell
back with the greatest deliberatiop and or.
der. None Of the officers have sny idea
that Gen. Lee intends to re.cross the Po.
tomac. II was generally and distinctly
understood that the falling back was caused
by the cnioulty ip obtaining provisions
through 90 long line Of comm nnica,ion
~ that from Gettysburg to WiIiam.port,
and no enc in the army believed that il was
INTENDED to svacuate Maryland. The men
were In goods spirits, and ready for another
fight win tho enemy.

Bragg's Army.

The Chattanooga Rebel Of the 9th states
the following facts from official sources:
The Army OF Tennessee has arrived at
this place. Having from the wisest eonsid.
ersiions left Sh.lbyvil.e and Wartrace. Il
came BY slow and easy marches over two
different roads. and effected is concsntva.
tion at this point withont being in any wav
hurried or harrassxd. From the hour of
starting IL has been hsld firmly and secure.
ly in hand, protecting its train Of several
thousand wagons, and marching compsctly
and with great deliberation, the rear being
covered by the cavalry, with whom the enc
my had more or loss diminishing.
Not piece Of artillery nor boz OF am.
mnnition was lost. There may have been
probably ten or a dozen wagons broken Up
or left in the mud. but this will cover the
loss the army sustained. No march has ever
been made over such roads with less incou.
ysnience or loss.
