THE THIRD DAY.

The morning OF the Sd Of July found the
two armies in the position IN which they had
been left by the conflicts Of the day preced-
Ing. Lees troops were IN possession Of the
Devils Den and its adjoining woods, and the
ridges along the Enu,itsburg road, Ewell

C1lp's Hill, with an outlet to the Baltimore
pike; and Cemetery Ridge, Cemetery Hill
and the Round Tops remaining intact in the
hands of the UnionistS With the hope that
victory might yet be in store for the army o:
northern Virginia, Johnson's fierce al Culp's
Hill had been considerably strengthened, hut
before his preparations 70 advance there had
been completed, Slocuui had organized an
attack upon Johnson and opened terrific
fire, which elected as furious an one in re-
turn. After seven hours Of contest the Con
federates were driven out of the intrench-
ments they had thrown up on Cilp's Hill,
and pushed back to the LETT bank Of Rock
Greek, leaving three stands Of colors and 500
prisoners in SlocuH's hands. Rugers and
Geary's divisions of the Twelfth corps, with
Shaler's brigade Of the Sixth corps, had
borne the brunt Of this attack. aided by the

fearful havoc in the Union lines.
The two great armies were now only mile

right. and in accordance with Lees orders,
Ewell and Longstreet were TO make q

of either Howard and Slocom on the right,
or Of Sickles and Sykes on the left a fierce
cannonade from Seminary Hill led the Union
officers to suppose that the first onslaught
would come from that quarter, but this
proved not to be the case, for at 4 o'clock
this cannonade suddenly ceased and the
booming Of Hoods batteries on the left
showed that Lees first objective point would
be Devils Den, where Wards brigade of
Birney's division lay on SickleS' left. Ward
had taken position in the wood above Plum

forco fighting between that and the Cham
bersburg road; also to prevent the enemy
from getting between the First corps and the
supporting column Of the Eleventh corps,
coming up from the south on the Emmets-
burg road, through the town. Screened by
the trees, the Confederates crossed VII
loughby run midway between the Cham
beIsburg and Fairfield roads. The leading
brigade, Archer's, was captured; at a high
price, however, for here Reynolds was killed
by a sharpshooter, while directing a counter
charge on Archer. For several hours this
spot was the scene Of conflict between the
Confederate divisions of Heth and Fender,
and those of Doubleday and Wadsworth, Of
the First corps. The command of the First
corps devolved upon Gen. Abner Doubleday
on the death of Reynolds. Doubleday de-
cided to continue the fight and hold the
ground, until he was driven back, or until

To offset this Union advantage the Confed-

by the Union forces on the crests and hills.
When Reynolds, with the First corps of
Meade's army, led the way to Gettysburg, he
did not halt to secure actual possession Of
these natural Notifications on Cemetery
Ridge, that lay close by his line of march,
but pushed On TO seize the passes through the
thin strips Of surrounding forest, in order to
prevent Lee from getting a lodgment in
them and On the high knobs which they
sheltered. His intention was to risk his own
corps, the First, together with Towards
Eleventh, close at hand, in desperate effort
to hold the Confederates beyond cannon

body Of the Union army would soon be ex-
posed while forming the infantry and placing
artillery in line for battle The first days
conflict at Gettysburg was really struggle
for the possession Of one of these passes
that across Willoughby run and the ridge
east of it on the Chambersburg road, two
miles west by northwest of Cemetery Hill,
the GROWING point of Cemetery Ridge.
The Union advance, consisting of Buford'S
cavalry, had seized this pass on the night Of
June 80 and had planted cannon there to de
fend it against the Confederates, whom the
scouts announced to be approaching in force
from Chambersbrg under a. ?. Hill Lee,
with the corps of Longstreet and Hill, was
west Of the Blue Ridge at Chambersburg,
-twenty-eight miles from Gettysburg, when
the startling news reached him that the

the 1st. Two roads cross this run about sixty
rods apart, and between the Chambersburg
pike and the Fairfield road to Hagerstown

for surprise. Reynolds came to the front

that if the floor, walls and ceiling of a
