DETAILS DESCRIPTION OF BATTLE
NEAR GETTYSBURG.

Chicago. July 6.-Thc following is
condensed from Saturdays New York
Herald. The battle of Thursday (July
q lasted all day. More or less picket
firing had taken place on the left,
which became pretty sharp batween 2
and 3 P. M. Some movements were
in progress behind this fire, aud to de-
velop these, Sickles was ordered to ad.
vance with the whole Of the Sd Corps.
Under cover Of fire from s brass pieces
in battery on the open field, the corps
went forward in line of battle. Then
the enemy's artillery, 50 long silent,
began on the LEFT at our pieces in the
field. In turn our pieces on Cemetery
Hill opened OH those Of the enemy
in the field. Other batteries ofthe ene-
my nearer our centre fred on those on
Cemetery Hill, and so it went around,
until our guns on the northern face of
the hill engaged the enemy's batteries
two miles across the country, on our
right. Meantime the musketry fire on
our left seemed to become every mo-
ment more fierce. Already the Third
corps had once been driven in disorder
from the ground it had won, but, raj.
lied by General Sickles, in person, it
had again gone forward, now held it's
place with desperate ferocity against a
very heavy force. This advance on our
left had developed that the enemy's
force was in reality masscd here, aud
when the Third corps took the initia.
tive it only precipitated the attempt
on the part of the enemy, which might
otherwise come when wc were not 90
we'll prepared to receive it. Between
5 and 8 o'clock the Third corps having
withstood, with frightful loss, many
successive charges. Of the enemy's in
fantry of many times their numbers,
began to show signs Of weakness, aud
the Fifth corps was ordered to charge
in relief Of them, which they did with
will, and forced the enemy back a
mile and . halt, taking many prison.

doubtedly the fiercest conflict of the
war. The loss on both sides must be
terrible. The enemy were most des-

the most demoniac fury, and having

THE ReBEL RAID.-While the main body
Of the rebel army is still in Virginia, some
strong dstachmenis have been carrying dis.
may into Philadelphia. The rebel raid into
free territory was necessity Of the desperate
aud gloomy condition in Dixie. Hooker's
army was thought to bs weakened by the ex.
piratiou Of the time Of the two years men, and
the rebels said "now or never" The Rich
mond Enquirer Of May 2lst, gave the key to
the new aggressive movement in the following
paragraph:
Since the first battle Of Manassas the South.
sru army has never had 90 evident an oppor-
tunity to gain victory. With all oul glori-
Gus battles we have not yet recovered a single
lost city or delivered any subjugated Stete
from the thrall of tho invader. If We can
ever do such thing. We must hope to do it
shortly. for we shall never behold our foe 10
weak again. From the first day the only
reasonable hope Of the Confsderacy has been
the transfer Of hostilitiss to the ensmy's terri.
tory. If va cannot do that, the progress Of
invasion. however Glow, must after q time
overwhslm us. No treaty Of peace is posi-

A PIoUs FRAUD.-A respectahly-dre.sed
woman, with an infant in her arms, entered
the cathedral of Antwerp early ore morning,
when the priest was alone, busily engaged in
making the alter neat and tidy. and scraping
of some spots of wax which had fallen the
proceeding night. The woman addressed him
in most earnest and affecting manner, and
with due humility. unfolding her tale of sorrow.
Her child, she said, was suffering under some
mortal malady, the skill of the leech had been
applied In vain, and she was at last convinced
that nothing could save her beauteous babe
from the jaws of death but being placed for a
moment in the arms of her tutelary saint.
The saint was stuck up in niche of the WALL
in the form of goodly marble statue, with a
neat balcony before him. The priest was at
last moved by her entreaties. He procured a
ladder, and assembled TO the sacred niche, en-
tered the balcony, and, placing the babe in the
arms of the statue, he asked the grateful
mother If she was satisfied.
Perfectly So" said the lady, and carefully
putting the ladder ont of his reach. she eooly
walked out Of the church. leaving her rosy in
FAINT, the astonished priest, and the Unconscious
saint, all equally elevated there TO remain till
the next brother of the community should ar

How MR.. PARKE GOODWIN WAS MISTAKEN

C., a prominent literary gentlemen of this
city, was summoned at an unusually early hour
by his wife, who told him that stranger wish
ed to see him about $40 counterfeit bill which
he had paid him for some hams. "Hams ?"
said Mr.. g., "hams ?-there must be some mis-
take, my dear: / have purchased no hams !"
swell they were sent home, and you ate some
yesterday" "Yes, but purchased noDe-of
that am quite sure-there certainly is mis-
take" was the reply. And sure enough, when
Mr.. q. saw the stranger the latter at once ex-
claimed, 20 you are not the person! but | did
pend some hams here yesterday, which res
pectable looking man, who said he was Mr.. g.,
ordered and paid for" Anexplanation follow
cd, from which it appeared that the person
calling himself Mr.. o.. stepped into the shop,
ordered the hams. and handed the dealer $40
bill, remarklng that as he was in too great
hurry to wait till they were weighed for the
change, he might send the money aud all home
together. The dealer did as directed: but his
boy, on the way to Mr.. G.'s house, was passed
by the pretended Mr.. G.. who casually asked,
20, are those my hams ?r and being answered
in the affirmative, replied, Very good, may
as well take my change now" and the boy in
nocently handed him the money, something
over $13, and took the hams to Mr. G.'s house.
Subsequently the dealer discovered that the
bill was counterfeit, but did not suspect fraud
till he had called to get il exchanged, when he
discovered how adroitly he had been swinded
