which puts to reft all anxeties in relation to the sit
uation of our army in Maryland, and confirms the
statements which have ben made,! that our army has
boen uniformly victorious n its encounters with the
enemy in Pennsylvania,; Tho letter stas, in eilect
that the engagements at Gettysburg resulted in defeat
1 ig the enemy completely! in killiag and wounding . a
number far exceeding ourown, and in the oapture of
a large number of prisoners j that pe falling back of
our army to Hagers-own was a prudential move, not
occasioned by any succession the part of the enemy,
and not through any apprehension, of contingencies
arising which migtit ensure his- success at that point.
-The gist of the letter, in few words, is that the ene
my was even morcj thorp-jgly cut up and whipped
than be lias ever been upon Southern sbil, and that
the Occupation of Hageristown was a movement dicta
ted by strategy and prudence, as essential to the suc

movement may as well bl l6ft to Gen. Jjee to devcloo

Ewell with Early and Rhode's divisions moved down
-from Carlisle, and toe k up a ; position to the;a left- of
Hill's corps, and somewhat to the Southwest of H w

hours, when the ,Yankee line gave back some four
miles, passing through and below Gettysburg.'we oc

thirty-five hundred in number, aud also a latge num
ber of armed prisoners these latter being-captured, I
learn, by Ewell. Thus the fight closed on Wednes
day, with a signal advantage to us. It had been an
open field fight, and charging over slight acclivities,
in which our troops, by intrepid valor, had success
fully driven the enemy before them.

forced, and took up a strongly, fortified position on a
series of very elevated hills in; the rear of Gettysburg.
From these hills an effort was made by. us, but un
successfully, to dislodge them on Thursday, the 24.
The fight was negun and mainly contested on the
right by Hood's and McLaws' divisions, of lngstreet's
corps Gen. L.J, with his forces," having reached the
field after the close of the fight on Wednesday. . E well
was also engaged during this day on the extreme left
with the enemy, who attempted to turn his extreme
right our, extreme left by moving in upon him
from above, between Gettysburg and Carlisle j but in
this they were successfully repulsed. The centre,
; under Gen. Hill, on this day held its ground firmly.
Glen. Longstreet, on the right, succeeded on this day
. in driving them in on the right to a distance of fully a
mile. The results of this day's fighting can not be
said to have been, by thy means, a decided success
tolls. That they lost heavily cannot be gainsaid;
, but their. position, ' nataralty a very strong one, was
held by not less thanybur lines pf infantry, and every
spot available for artillery bristled with the enemy's
cannon. Oar men actually got the fortifications once
or twice, but sothmneel were their ranks by the losses
they had sustained that they were compelled to give
back. , The field was literally strewn with the dead
and dying Yankees, and no slight sprinkling of our
brave defenders mingled with them.
' .The fight for. the possession of the heights was re
newed again on Friday, Meantime, Gen. Pickett's
division of Gen. Longstreet's corps had reinforced our
right, and was principally engaged, with most disas
trous loss of officers and men in this da ys work Geh.

A.P.'Hill was also warmly jd successfully engaged'
during this day, but I am not able to spak as to the
results which he achieved. ,
The result of the three days fight may be sammedt
up. in immense losses on both sides ; 'but iu the last
two days' encounters we were unable toh carry the
heights beyond and below Gettysburg, -The conse
quence was, that an Friday night our troops fell back
some two miles, evacuating Gettysburg, and forming
outline of battle still some two miles in advance of
the position whichi we held at the opening of the fight
on Wednesday evening. '
On Saturday morning our . wagon trains were
brought out in sight of the enemy, as also our ambu
lance trains, and moved off in the direction of Cham
bersburg. It is also said that we moved our lines
back sumo distance during Saturday night, and that
on Sunday tho enemy pressed forward eagerly, when
Ewell, who had apparently fallen back, but who had,
in reality, hid in the rocks, near his old position,
passed in their rear, just beyond Gettysburg and to-
wards the enemy's old position beyond the town, and
made prisoners of fif ty-three regiments. This, I must
say, is unconfirmed.
Oar loss has. I ccn most serious, especially in gen-
eral and field officers, and largely in men. General
Tender is wounded severely, but not dangerously,
Gen. Hood had his left arm struck by a ball, but will
to able to save it. Gen.IIetb is wounded slightly

of the men is invincible, and that they are nothing
dampened by the late severe battles, in which our loss
cannot, I think, fall far short of ten thousand; some
two' thousand of these I are now . here. At least
three thousand more are now on .the road between
here and Williamsport, Md. The accommodations
for the wounded are quite inadequate," and the pa
tience our of bravp have t the lack of preparation is
praiseworthy in the highest degree '-still, those who
are here seem to exert themselves to serve the; unfor
tunate. The ladies, too, manifest some interest in the
welfare of the wounded, and I-only regret that I can
not say that it is more general. Perhaps, , however, 1
as there are a large number in the private residences, '
that the "ministering angels" do j more than is seen,
and that their labors, though unseen by ' the public,
are not unfelt or unappreciated by the sufferers.

and to have j.laced beyond cure its groat efficiency as

to have been one of the severest artillery fights of the
war. IV.-- ':
The proportion of wounded is much greater than in
any previous fight of the war. Oar loss in killed is
small compared with the wounded.' Our loss in pris
oners it is thought will reach at least three thousand
1 have no means of ascertaining the enemy's loss,
but am satisfied that it is very heavy, being certaiuly
much larger than ours. Yankee papers are said to
admit a loss of four general officers.
The great loss of general, field and sta IT officers was
unavoidable, on account of our position being so well
commanded, and, indeed, raked by tho enemy s bat-
I teries and uot because of an v necessity to expows them
selves in order to get the troops forward, for all con- :
cur that the wen never fought better or charged hard-
cr or fatter. !' I
Our army of course, quartered on the enemy ; and
our men report that they found no difficulty in getting
whatever they wanted to eat. Grazing was tiuo, and ;
wheat and cam was to be found in abuudancej Hor-
ses, however; were rather, scarce, the roost, of thera ,
having been stampeded. The able bodied men in the
towns nearly all left. Butter was purchased for ten
cents per pound in Confederate money, aud molasses .

Tho ilaugl:ler lias been dreadful and the lighting

enemy have undoubtedly lost heavy, aud the most
decisive results must follow this invasion of the Free

VIII. . One of the. most difilcult questions to settle
A will he that of the territoriesTwhich. if not? settled
definitely and conclusively bya convention between
the two Confederacies, mav lead to enlless disputes,
and, perhaps, endless hnstili ties. It may be that the
old Missouri Compromise may be adopted, but what
ever line may be adopted as the limit of the Northern
and. Southern territories, that line must be clearly and
distincilv -drawn. Whatever disputes may arise
. about these territoriesr they certainly cannot origin-'
. ate in any fear that cither confederacy' will not have
sufficient lands to meet the demands of their popula-
tion for two or three centuries to comeT'
At the close of the war a new question will come up
for the consideration of that portion that still remains
of the old Union; This is no less a question than the
future position of the border slave . Slates.: Jf the
principle of universal sufferage is ,to prevail iwith re
gard to the election of their choice between the North
and the Fbuth, then that question must be left to their
uwu uwisiorj oy a general ejection in i;nai ocate, ana
ith regard to the election, we. believe that if left en
. tirely untrammeled by governmental or bayonet in
terference, they will decide by large majorities of their
populations to go with the Southern Confederacy .
- f On which the Enquirer remarks :
r This is all right, with the exception Of part of Ar
ticle IV. The Northern Federation can declare free
trade forjtself, and can prohibit custom houses forit
self, and ean make the navigation of the Mississippi
free within its own borders. All those matters will
be dealt with by us also for ourselves, and with refer
ence to bur own interests and policy. We have al
ways offered the free navigation of the Mississippi,
but this does by no means imply the absence of cus
toms duties upon merchandize landed iu our ports for
sale there. '4"'-u ; , VV, '
There is no harm, however, in having these consid
erations presented to the Yankee mind, to reflect, on at
