The Washington correspondent Of the Now
York Times says,
The substance Of General Butterneld,s tes-
timony before the Committee on the Conduct
OF the War, In relation to the battle OF Gettys-
burg, Is substantially as follows; On the third
day Of the fight, according 10 his version,
Picketps division, which was stationed In sup
port OF the long line Of rebel batteries which
opened with such terrific force on our left and
len centre on the afternoon OF that day, after
the firing had ceased, made charge upon our
position on the summit and slope OF the hill,
and were repulsed with great loss. Hastily re-
forming their broken column they moved
toward their left flank, and rejoned the main
body of Longstreet's corps. This necessarily
len their right much weakened, and their bat
terios exposed to capture. Meade's officers
represented 10 him the error Of the enemy, and
suggested that Il should be prontod by. But
Meade dlssentod, and the result was that the
rebels, at their leisure, hauled of their Bate
ries from our front, and placed them In POSI-
lions to protect their retreat, which became
general at II O'Clock on the 4th Of July. Gen.
Butterheld expressed It as his opinion, that
had charge upon the rebel batteries, weak
ened by Plckett's diversion and repulse, have
boen made, they could have been captured.
General butterfield was also examined as TO

Of the chlyalrous south conceived passion
for the wife, and purchased her for his pless-

and at Cleveland the husband and wife acct
dentally met, and are low living together hap

father was her incorporating master, and we
presume that II we had the I" Union as It was,"
and as the copperheads want 1t, husband, wife
and child would have to go back to their sevo-

Confederate democratic theory, and the rebel
practice OF niscegenation-a beautiful theory,
and If We are to believe democratic evidence,
pleasant practice for men who have no regard
