On the 24th the whole of A. P Hill’s corps crossed the I’otomao at Shepherdstown, that of Longstreet having previously reached the Marj- land shore by the Williamsport ford—the corps of Gen. Longstreot beiug composed of the di visions of McLaws, Piekoit, and Hood; whilst that of Hill consisted of Ponder, Heth, and .Ander son The troops wore all well clad and in fine bpirits; eager and ready to meet the loe Having thus rapidly disif^osed ol the different corps op to the time of* their ercssitig the f‘oto- luae, 1 will now speak of the movements and ope rations of each separately, a? wore likely to prove s-'tistactory to the general reader, a^ well for an intelligent understanding of the whole subject ad for a just appreciation ot the aohie.veiucnts of e&oli department of the army. Kodes’s and Johnson’s divisions of Ewell’s oorps marched oa the same road to Shipjtensburg. From Shippensburg they moved by two parallel roads to Uariisio, wnicn rney reacneJ >»» fn, evening of the 25th of June. On tne 2yth ling Gen Jenkins and command, accompanied by Oapt. Kiohardson, Gen. Kwell’s Kns;ioeer, west within sight and artillery range of Harrisburg, I’a , and reoonnoitered the defences of the city, with the vi*j«? on the part of Gen. Kwell of attacking the place the next d»y with his whole corps. The next day, as Gen EweH was prep'iring to uiarck to Harrisburg, 20 miles distant, an order came to him to unite his corps with the rest of the army at Cashtown, near Gettysburg Major Gen. Early, of this oorps, who, after crossing the river had moved to Vork, and who was then at that place, was a» once notified, and the corps 'imme diately took up the line of march. Johnson, who had encamped two or three miles from (^arliile, moved back, accompanied by. the reserve artillery of the corps, under Col J. T Brcwn, towards Chambersburg; whilst llodes moved via Paper- Utwn and Petorsburg to Heidlersbut^, five miles from Gettysburg. Early campe;! at night near Berlin. That night Gen K S. Ewell e,ommuni- cated with Gen A. P Hill, who wa** at Gashtown. Early next morning Gen. Ewell set his division in motion to join Gen. Hill, he himself going in front with Rodes’s division. At Middletown Gen. E. received word from (>en. Hilh that he was advancing towards Gettysburg, where one corps of the enemy was reported to have arrived. Early was at the same time ordered to move to wards the town direct from fleit^ersburg. John son had encamped the night before at or near Scotland, and would have made the junction with the rest of the corps at Cash town by noon or a little thereafter When Kodcs’s division arrived oa the battle field there was nothing goinz on save some ar tillery firing. Rodes's div^ion con«isted of Jtoe brigades, viz: Daniel’s, Iveraon’s and Ram.-eur’s N G. brigades, Doles’s ^feorgia bri>ia-le and Kodes’s (old) Alabama briiradc, commanded by Ool. O’Neill. Carter’s battalion of artillery wa** attached to this command. Hodes cao^e into the nn the fiaok of the ecemy, w^o were confronting A. P Hill, and oceupicd the ino.>(t commanding point of the v'^ry ridge with artillery which the enemy were upon. «This ridgo runs in the shape of a eresoent around Gettysburg, follow ing the windings of a creck which is between iti and the town. The MiddletO'-.n road avoids the ridge by a turn to the left, and a descent into the hollow of the ye«'k Hodes formed his old bri gade and that of IversoT into line on the tip of the ridge, and placed D ues to tbo left, near the Middletown road, an J s‘psratod some I uodr^'ds of yards by a g»I from the others. Dame! w « in li 0 three J uridrtd yards or rii «re bcLimi l . r son's ritrbt, to protect lhat Kasa.vjbr := in reserve, and the 5th Alabfm'i .wa* left to the gap b'^fween O'SeiH aaJ Doles. After C.irter’8 battaliuu of arullerv' Iiad b-.u'n cuiraged for toiue liaif hour with adii>irabk>. if.-ef. the enemy were ob^.;rvel to ^>0 tnovin*: raj-iJly from .alt's front to that of Uyd :?. and to b» ud- vanointf their flow coiuiun.*j atjiiinst KoJes fronj the towa. Kodes, hiw dispo;iiioii^ -having be-n made, advanced his whole line. It had first to cross a field six hundred yards wide and enter woods—immediately upon entering which h be came hotly engaged The Alabama brigade advanced somewhat con- fusedly, owing, it is said, to a misconception as to the direction which it should take, and whilst confuseu became engaged and was farced back, “ broken, though reinforced by tho 5th Alabama, which uncovered l.^wson’s brigade, rhis brigade was ^ the time spoken ol as having behaved badly, owTug to a mistake of Gen rf his regitn.,nts had rai.sed the TIia n I over in a bodj’ to the enemy. K' ° this report was that two of his regiments were almost entirely nurrouuded way of the Alabama »K f concentration of the enemy at a point, and were ail either killed or captured ** ^ gallant rciiistance, however, wtiicn they made may be sbown by a statement coining from General Rodes himself; that, riding along behind where their line had been, he thought he observed a regiment lying"down, us if to escape the Yankee fire. On going up, how ever,* to force them into ihe fight, he found they were all corpses. Ocn. Daniel, advancing, found himself oppos ed to a very heavy force of the enemy which he oharged and "drove bacK to a railroad cut running in a diagonal direction across his front and past his right flank. Here he foand, directly across the cut, and two hundred ^md fifty yards to his right and rear, some ot Gen. Hill’s troops, lying down, while the enemy were firing heavily on his flank and rear; a battery, some four or five Tiun dred yards off near a barn, being arecially trouble some. He sent two messages to the officer com manding these troops, hoping to get nim to unite with him, and thus carry the field by a combined attack. Once thia regimen* got Up and moved some twenty yards to the front aud'again resumed its reeumbent position. Finally Gen. D. had to leave his line, guarded by the 2d N. C. battalion and a regimenf, under a galling fire from the enemy, and move the other three regiments by the right flank to a point where they could crose the cut and form his line anew for the char ge, which was most gallantly executed, the eu’my scarcely saving their artillery and making no more Btand.> until they reached Gettysburg Just as Gen. D was preparing for this final charge, (j-n. Ramscur s brig;*de ;*t)d the third AlabamB regiment, which by some mis'ake bad separated from the re«t of the brigade heen (Rodew’s,) at ike moment of advance, and so had sustl^rniir^i^*'^ which that brigade ; advanced to hold the line of Iverson’s gap between biiu aid O’Neill. This movement was quickly frustrated by a change of front, which was rapidly executed by the right wing of Doles, vt^ho first fired a volley and then cbargod, break ing tho whole yankee column and driving it to wards tho town Doles started in pursuit but was checked by tho appearance of large culuitin.s, nearly a whole corps, moving out parallel with the Heidlersburg road from Gettyitburg. Thia last column would liavo forced bi'E to have fallen baek but for the timely anival of Early by tfie lleidlersburg road (ien E at once ptit hia artil lery info position on the loft nf that road and opened firo, enfilading and i-itonoing batteries which were then oeoujiied in an attempt to entilade lv‘'de!*’s artillery, and in truth these bsxtteries of the enein}’ were doing ns a got>d deal of damage. Gordon’s and Hoke’s brigades wrre fonued'on the right ol the Heidlersburg road. .V space whs left between them for Hayes’s brigade, which had been kept in rear of the division wagon train as i ^uari}, but which eauio up lu tiiuo to tak« part in was soon made—b'luith’s brigade beiug loft to support the artillery Jusf as the enemy were ouMianking Doles, Gordon s brigade started forward to charge the ene my. And msj^nificently and nobly did he and his Georgia braves go to their appointed work. They cross a small stream and valley and enter a long narrow strip of an opposite slope, at the top of wh’ch the enemy had a strong force posted. For five minuses nothing could be heard or seen save the smoke and roar proceeding from the heavy musketry, and indicating a desperate con test; bi’t the contest was not long or uncertain The Yankees are put to flight and our men press them, pouring a deadly fire at these flying fugi tives. A group of officers gathering around a white flag with a icd ce'htre, the badge of one of tlieir corps, were vainly endeavoring to rally their mea, when a shot from one of Ool. Jones’s guns killed two or three of them and the rest quickly scattered 8e«‘'Bg a second and lar^r line near tho town, Gen. Early halted Gen. G until Gens. .Hayes and Hoko could come up, when a second «'’arge wuti luade, and thiee pieces of artillery, besides sevural entire regimenui of the enemy, were captured. Gen. Daniel, on the extreme right of our corps, and Hoke’s brigade,^nder Col. Avery, on the ex treme left, reached the town simultaneously. Doles came in near about the same time in the centre. i>aniel did not enter quite so soon, aa the enem}’ hnd so far outstripped him that he halted to form. l)o»€s and Early coming in on the flank of the enemy, "retreatiyg from Daniel, caueht quite a numb‘»r of pri'oner' in the town. Indeed, of the G,000 or 7,000 taken in the town of Gettysbu g, about 4,000 were captured on the evening Oi the 1st ot July by RodA’s Rud EarlyV divisions, this number being abjut equally diri ded between thcw. The fight now being over, or rather tho enemy having retreated throUirh- the town, Gen. Ewell rode into town, and, meeting with tien’l Early, they t; gather made a reconnoissau’ce, iu which it was di ;:!Vcred that the enemy were in consider ably l(!r>'tr force than our own, a’ld wre p-isted on thr li.-ights (the’“Cemetery” hill now so fa inou.'* ; beyond tho town. Flere they formed.a line of battle which overlapped EweJI’t. on both flanks, (fur Gen.

Vance-.—The (iu’Jernor of North Carolina is jiddressiiig the people in various section.s of the State upon the great ({Xtestions of the day. We have seldom seen a finer specimen ol elo(|uence than his speech as reported in late papers. VV'e doubt whether the first American llevolution •ver produced anything more patriotic, grand, and soul-inspiring. There are pa.ssages in it worthy of Patrick Henry, and which thrill the heart and make the blood burn like the notes ol a clarion. That speech ought to be read at the head ol regiments and distributed broadca.st through the land. Truly this (Jov. Vance, soldier, statesman, and orator, is one of the linost extraordinary public men of the day—Rirjimond Dispatch. The four p> r * fnt Bunds.—It is thought by some that the four per cent, bonds to be issued for the present currency can be used in business transactions and will be passed from hand to hand as a Treasury note is now used But this is a mistake. The law authorizing the issue ol these 4 per cent bonds says: “the holdeN of all such Treasury notes shall be allowed to fund the same in Reyistemi Bonds, payable 20 years after their date, hearing imterest at the rfte of 4 per ccnt. per annum, payable on the first day of January and July of each year.” A registered bond cannot be sold or transferred without first having the entries changed at the Treasury Department, which operation would cost so much time and trouble that but a few trtfb.s- actions of that kind will be made. And it is well that it is so, for if the bonds could be used just as a Treasury note is noW used, there would be little or no diminution of the circulating medium, aud tho country would soon be again cursed with too much currency. The bonds can be used in payment of taxes due the Confederate Govern- meut, and they will then be immediately cancell ed, but they cannot be passed from band to hand without changing the entries on the Register’s books. This is our opinion of the matter, and it is sustained by the exp'*rience of others who have dealt in reyigtercd bonds.— Char.

It is not likely that any departure from the Governor’s order with reference to persons discharged under com petcnt judicijtl decision, will occur. At the same time we are assured that Col.

Next, tho Sherman Alabama expedition, by the failure 01 Gen Smith to effect a juncture with it. is, we fear, placed in a position somewhat critical; aod next, as we hear nothing whatever from Mobile we must conclude that Admiral Farragut has found that he can do nothing in seven feet water wilh vessels drawing fourteen feet.

Incident of the Raid.—During the late raid, one of our Sergeants and nine men were stationed on the “Short Pump Road." They had not been at their position long before a largely superior force of Yankee cavalry were seen approaching them. The gallant Sergeant, perceiving “the situation,” ordered his men to fire and fall back gradually. The enemy were checked, bat soon commenced to advance again, when they were greeted with another fire, with a like result. The Yankees continued to advance, and the ^r- gaant and his squad continued to fire and ^1 hack by degrees, when the foraer concluded to “change their base,” and retreated. Thus an overwhelming number of the enemy were hWd ift check, and finally compelled to retreat, by the gallantry and determiuatioa of the Sergeant and nine men.—Richmond Whig. Lihhy Yesterday, at the Hbby and its dependencies, (Belle Isle, &c.) there were 8 058 prisoners of war, and 1,026 officers.

A Detective Arrested for Treason.—Captaic Philip Cashmeyer, well known as the “Special and Confidential” Detective of Gen. Winder, ha- been artested and lodged in Castle Thunder ou the charge' of treason. The facts of the case are brief ly these: Cashmeyer, as has frequently been hi.i custom on jiuch occasions, accompanied the paroleii Yankee prisoners to City Point on Monday last On the way down, he was discovered by theguaru in close communication with one or more ot’ the Yankees. The attention of Capt. Hatch wa,' called to the fact, \.ho subsequently discovercni Cashmeyer secretly handing to a prisoner a pack age of letters or^ocuments. Capt H. immediatly placed him under arrest; and upon his return to the city, Judge Ould had Cashmeyer taken beloic Gen. Winder, who committed him to Castle Thai, der. He'was on the boat contrary to orders The particulars regarding the letters have not transpired, other than that they were addressed to Yankee officials—one being in German aud the other in Englbb; and that they contained, among other information, memoranda of all the order? issued from Gen. Winder’s office during the Jjite raid. Friday’s Whig has positive information that au examination of the Cashmeyer papera disolosos nothing treasonable and that they are made up ot passports and other documents calculated to s^w the people of Baltimore what a very oooijequen- tial personage Philip Cashmeyer is in llebo.dom It is said his conduct is regarded in official cir oles as a “grave indiscretiott.” iSeiz ure of the Tuscaloosa by the British.—The ^laiticulars of the seizure of the Tuscaloosa thus given in the Londoi^ Herald, (Derhyorgan) of 17th Feb’y; “The Tuscaloosa, a Confederate cruiser, was seized by the government off the Cape of Good Hope, under orders from home, in Simon’s Bay, on the 27th of December last. She was formerly called the Conrad,j3ut after her capture by the Alabama she rechrietened and converted into a man ot war by Capt. Semmes for the service ol the Confoderate States, ^ome three months ago she had been allowed so remaiq dnmolesteu in the harbor of Simon’s Bay, and had boon recoghitel by the authorities there as a Confederate man-ot wsfT. She is conunanded by Lieut. Lowe, who reported ‘that since her last visit the Tuscaloosa had been cruising between the Cape and Brazil, and had spoken nearly one hundred veasel-s but oi that number only one was a Federal, which, having^ an English cargo on board, was released on giving a bond. Thus no act has been com mitted on her part which can render her more liable to seizure than she was three months ago Liexit. Lowe, in full confidence in hia right to British hospitality, came to Simon’s Bay with the intention of getting tlie bottom of his vessd re coppered, and of taking in supplies. But on the day after his arrival the Admiral, Sir Baldwin Walker, despatched from the flag ship a Lieu tenant and a boarding party of 25 men to take possession in the Queen^s name. Lieut. Lowe immediately lodged with the Admiral a formal protest against the seizure, which protest, it ap pears, has been forwarded to the home govern- rnevt. And the United States Consul, on the other hand, -lodged a claim to the vessel on behalf of her former owners, which claim has apparently been recognized by the government, as he hai been informed by the authorities that the Tusca loosa will only be detained until she can be hand ed over to them. * ' ♦ The Tuscaloosa, after being condemned as a prize) was duly commis sioned for the Confederate service, and thence forward was entitled to all the immunities of ships- of-war, one of which is freedom from arrest.” Peace Milledoeville, 6a., March 11.—Hon.
