Conclusive Evidence. T Col. J. P. Batchelder, of Boston, iias written an interesting letter- to . llic xvalciii vtwc? VisT wait nui guiai towards settling the question of who fought best on the third . day at Get tysburg. We give a very important extract: ,,. ' . "I remained there 84days,not only making a thorough reconnoissance and sketch of the 25 miles square over which the battle was fought,but visited separately every wounded man in hospital, and, with sketch and note book in hand, ; we traced the monements of the several commands and located their positions on the plan. As the wounded . officers be came convalescent, I asked and re ceived permission to take them over the field, by which means I was ena bled to locate the entire Confederate army, and trace its movements. The track of the great Confederate col umn on the third day I fixed there and then. I may also add that I subsequently visited, plan in hand, every regiment u and , , battery in the Union army, and have since been at Gettysburg with over one thousand commissioned officers, forty-seven ; of them Generals commanding, each of whom explained, not only the move ments of his own command, bat fre quently those of his adversary, par ticularly in the great assault of the third day, for which their position gave tbam an admirable opportunity for observation. And here allow me to observe is an important and un biased I element, witnesses of the scene, whose voice must eventually be" heard in this , controversy, which, before j arriving aft, a just verdict, should I harmonize with the state ments t of Confederate officers. I will add that s during , , a visit of a large number of officers to Get tysburg, a special consultation was held at this point. ' Among those present were Gen. , Webb, (the pre sent President of the College of New York) who commanded at that part of the line; Gen. Hunt, artillery com mander, whose horse was shot under him at this place and who continued fighting on foot with his pistol, and also , intelligent officers from nearly every regiment sin - Jthat f vicinity. Without question it was understood that the' portion of the line broken was from . an angle v south or short distance along the advance wall, which had been attacked by the left of Pickett's and the right of Petti grew's and ; Trimble's . divisions. Here 1 the 4 ? struggle "A lasted t,f 5 long est, the troops at the right and left from ' this portion of the line being gradually swept away by flank attacks, which, with an advance of Webb's reserve regiment, finally converged upon this point. In cor roboration of this I hold a letter writ ten by General Webb to his wife, two days after the battle, which says, -'Lpngstreet was in my front with Pickett's divisidn ,and two i brigades from some other division, i - Generals Armistead, Dick'Garnett aq4 retU grew pomrpa,nd.ed," Gen, Armistead VOL.

We learn from a gentleman who arrived on the northern train last night that Hil- liard Morgan, colored, expiated the crime of 'murder on the -gallows at Goldsboro' yesterday, - at half past" X o'clock presence of about three thousand at half past 1 o'clock, in the persons, only a limited number of : whom were ad mitted inside of the incloeure of the jail yard. He made a speech on the gallows, in which he emphatically declared his inno cence, and prayed that God would forgive the man who had sworn his life away. His alleged companion in crime, Stephen Dar den, received notice yesterday that he had been respited by the Governor until the 18th of January, and Morgan, up to a few minutes after he had taken his position on the gallows, was evidently buoyed up with the! hope that he might possibly share the fade of his more .fortunate comrade. He soon realized, Jjbwever, that his doom was sealed, and then announced his readiness to die and prayed fervently for the forgive ness of - his sins. ' The Goldsboro' Rifles and a force of special police were on duty, it haying been rumored, that an attempt would be made by the colored people of the town to' rescue the condemned from the clutches of the law.
