The Hattie Of Gettysburg.

STATEMENT BY MAJ-GEN. MEADE-THE RE-
PORTED ORDERS FOR RETREAT SET AT REsT.
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser says. General Meade
has submitted to the Committec on the Con.
duct of tho War written statement in re-
gard TO the conduct Of the battle Of Gcttys-
burg. In this statement he denies cmphat.
ically and explicitly that he contemplated or
issued at any time during the action an or
der to retreat to TarTytoSn or to any other
point After his arrival at Gettysburg he
asked several corps commandeIsto.ac us his
temporary chief of. staff All preierrlng to
remain in command of their corps, he nd.
dressed u similar request to Gen. Butter
field, who consented iIc directed him i'm
mediately to collect all possible iniormatlor
relative to the reads leading to the roar lie
AYERS that in giving this instruction to Gen
Butter6el ho had no thought OF retreat
but merely aimed ut obtaining information
which any prudent General would consider
necessary for an intelligent understanding
OF the field OF action. Gen. ButterGeld on
the morning of the second day drew up ar
order directing all trains and baggage to be
sent 10 the rear. This order gave the oc
casion for the assertion OF various officer.
that an order TO retreat had been given. -
Gen. Meade says that Gen. Butterdsld
showed him tho order, that he told him i
would not answer, and that it il was ISSUED
Il was without his authority. This state
ment of Gen. Meade is corroborated by Gen
eral Gibbons and other General officers an
members OF his staff"

Mr. Adams an ~ Diplomatist.3

In critical notice Of the volumes of dipo-
matte correspondence lately published, tlo
Nsrth American Review for April takes
occasion to pay the following we'll deserved
compliment to the minister of the United
States at the court of st. james:
In the present collection, the correspon-
dence which will be read with mos: interest
is that which concerns our relations with
England, and it is no small satisfaction that
our interests should have been committed,
during so critical period, to man so pru.
dent, able, and tenacious as MIR. Adams,
The third of his name in hereditary success
sion who has been our ambassador at st.
James, he has so acquitted himself as to
more than justify expectation. A truly solid
man, with n sense OF the true points at issue,
not to be baflied or Diverted he has managed
the dangerous business of the Alabama and
the rebel rams with discreet firmness that
is already having its effect on public opinion
in England. 1t istruy diverting to see Earl
Russell endeavoring to talk down to q man
! like this, to watch his supercilousness
gradually become vexation, doubt, alarm,
and finally apologetc concession. Mr.
Adams, ,eontinualy" having the honor.to be, "
and taking this occasion to renew" with
blandest formality forces his Lordship closer
and closer to tho wall, where he leaves him
pinned at last, with distinguished consid-
GRAFTON" Of course, but squirming in most
chronological fashion. The praise once
bestowed on Sir Francis Walsing ham is ad-
mirably applicable to our ambassador. II
may truly be said OF him, "How vigilant he
was to gather true intelligence; what mean:
aud persons he employed for it; how pune
tual he was in keeping to his instruction.
where he was limited, and how wary And
judicious whore no was left free still ad
vancing, upon oil occasions, the reputation
and interest of his Great Mistress, with I
lively and indefatigable DEVOTION"

TAILORING is at dead lock IN st. Louis,
in consequence of strike among the jour
neymen The proprietors have adopted a
scale of prices, by which, it is said, 5 Us or
$40 per week can be made, and bound
themselves to abide by it under penalty
of 81 600 The journeymen demand that
no females shall be employed, except their
own wives, but this the employers will not
concede, and the bill Of prices does not quite
meet the views of the workmen. The busi-
ness through the city is consequently at a
stand still.

A AReroIullonary Anecdote.

1t was Sabbath morning, in the year
TIT, that the inhabitants ofa little parish
in the State of Vermont, and on the Dor.
ders of New Hampshire, assembled in their
accustomed place of worship. The cares OF
that fearful and long o-be remembered sum
mer had imprinted an unusually serious
look upon the rough though not unpleasant
countenances of the male members of that
little congregation. The rigid features re.
laxed however, as they entered that hallow-
cd place and felt the genial influence of
summers sun, whose rays illuminated the
sanctuary, and played upon the desk and
upon the countenance of him who admins
tered there. He was venerable man; his
white locks and tottering frame evinced that
he had numbered threescore aud ten years.
Opening the sacred volume, the minister
was about to commence the services OF the
morning, when messenger arrived almost
breathless, rushed into the church excaim.
ing "The enemy are marching upon our
western counties!"
The old man looked around on his con-
gregation and announced his textile
that hath garment let him sell it and buy
a sword" After few preliminary remarks
he added:-"Go up my friends, | beseech
you, to the help of your neighbers against
the mighty. Advance into the field OF bat
! tie, for God will muster the hosts of war
Religion is too much interested in the sue
cess of this day not to lend its influence. -
As for myself ago sits heavily upon me,
and cannot go with you, neither have
representatives of my family to send. My
daughters-my daughters cannot draw the
sword, nor handle the musket in defence OF
their country; but they can use the hoe, SC
that when the toll worn soldier returns from
the field Of battle, he may not suffer for the
necessaries of life The venerable pastor
bowed his head in devotion. When he
again lifted his head his audience was gone.
One by one they had silently loft the house
ofGod, and ere the sun had that day SCI
the male inhabitants of that little parish
who were able to bear arms were far on theil
way to meet the enemies of their country or
the field of Bennington.

An Irish woman in this city went into a
West India goods store day or two since,
and called Tor half pound Of butter. The
gentlemanly proprietor, to whom the order
was given, suggested that the amount was
rather small aud she had better purchase
quantity sufficient to last her a greater
length of time. "Oh, you mistake" she
answered lit isn't to ate that want it,
