A GREAT BATTLE IN PENNSYLVANIA.
v Some gentleman connected with the press who
arrived here las; (xnursaay) evening from liettys
bure, having left before daylight in -the morning
represent the condition of affairs at the close of
the 'fight on . Wednesday evening tOfhave been
still more ravpraoie and promising of a successru
issue than the previous information .- we had re-'
ceived. They state that the rebels had held Get
tysburg for some time previous to the approach of
our army, and had not only occupied but bad
commenced lortnym the mils west of. the town,
where they proposed to check our advance towards
Uhambershurg and the mouth of the Cumberland
Valley. . ;- -- ' . i
. The movement of General Reynolds and the
rapidity with which he advanced after entering
tne east end of the town, took them somewhat by
surprise, and he soon obtained the prominent po
sition which the rebels were fortifying. The fight
ing through the balance of the. day was in) a fu
tile attempt on their part to regain this important
position, from which they were frequently repulsed.
JLarlvm tne afternoon both Loncrstreet and
Hill combined their forces for a grand effort to
turn our. right flank, when General Howard's 11th
corps, (the Dutch corps.) which broke and ran at
Uhancellors, dashed in to regain their lost laurals,
and most nobly djd they, repulse these two veteran
corps of the rebel army. The repulse was so com
plete that dq further attempt was made by the
enemy during the balaace of the day, and night
Closed in with our holding the position chosen by
tne enemy to give us battlefrom. The 3d and
12th army corps also came on the field after the.
last repulse of the enemy, but owing to the fall of
uenerai KejnoJds, and the lateness of the hour,
3 well as the exhaustion or tne men, ana tne ae-
sire to take care of thewounded, it, was determined
not tit push the enemy for a renewal of the con-
fiict. . , . . . y'
When our informant left the field yesterday
(Thursday) morning, General Meade had arrived,
and the mam body of our army was in posision,
ready to push the enemy so soon, as day should
dawn. " '. . ,

Prom one of the officers who came- down in

left Gettysburg Wednesday afternoon, we have
accounts not so favorable as those aiteri bv other
parties. He describes the fight on that day as
rathef unfavorable to our arms and states that the
enemy held the field at the close o f the day. our
forces haviilS fallen back after the. fall' of General
Reynolds ; that the attack of the enemy was so
sudden and unexpected, that both the corps of

TBK TTRST DiT'S PA-TTLK.
The American has the following account of
the first day's battle . , ,
It eppeara that at 9 o'clock on Wednesday
'mornrtg the 1st inst) the 1st and 11th corps of
the Army of the .Potomac 'reached Gettysburg,
entering from the east' side i of the town, and
marching directly through to the west tide, the
cavalry force ot the enemy falling hack as we ad
vanced. On passing out of the west end of the
town, tbe enemy was observed advancing rapidly
from the Chambersburg pikeL in line of battle,
towards the town, evidently endeavoring to hold
an advantageous position commanding the town.
The first corps under Gen. Reynolds, was in the.
advance, and pushed forward at double quick, td
-secure the advantageous position. The, enemy,
under Longstreet and Hill, advanced steadily, and
in a few nriLntes a heavy nre both of artillery and
musketry, was opened along the whole Jfederal
and rebel lines. The 11th army corps, under Gen.
Howard, was also soon in position, and for a'time a
heavy battle raged, several .charges were made
by the enemy to dislodge our. forces, all of which
were unsuccessful. ; j ' ... . ?
At 3 o'clock tbe enemy massed his entire forces
and endeavored to turn our right wing. General
Reynolds advanced to meet them, and a heavy
infantry fight ensued,.in which both parties suf-

being poured into ' the opposing 'columns with
deadly effect. Id the charge Maj. Gen. Reynolds
fell, mortally wounded, and died soon after being
conveyed to Gettysburg He was, as usual, lead-
'inghis corps, and in the thickes: of the fight.
Gen. rul, commanding the 3d brigade of the 1st
army dorps, was also killed on the field, and Cols.
Wu tar and Stone fell, severely wounded, and were
taken prisoners by the enemy. The field between
the. contending armies was strewn with the dead
and wounded, and it is said that the enemy suf
fered fully as heavily as we iid; though it is not
known what was their Ion in officers.
The effort to flank'our right wing entirely fail-e-i,
and we held thq prominent and commanding
position for which the struggle was made at the
tiosd cf jthe fight, which ceased for the day about
4 o'clock in the afternoon. At this time two more
corps of Gen, Meade's army reached the fleld,and
daring the night the main body of our army was
in portion to meet any demonstrations that the
fe&emy might make in the morniog, or to advance
on iiim, as the Commanding General might de-
rue 1st army corps nobly maintained its
cide.
Gettjsburg at noon Thursday, that up to that
time every thing was progressing favorably for the 1 pecially amog field and line officers
f ederal arms, it says : i
Up to that time they assert that over six thous
and prisoners had been captured and sent to Union
Bridge, for transportation to Baltimore. .At nine
o'clock last night a train with 800 Jprisoners, the
nrst instalment of those captured, arrived at the
Baltimore depot, and shortly after Gen.' Sehnck
announced from his headaurarters that those then
in Baltimore and at the Relay House, which
would soon be in his possession, amounted to
2,300. I We learn that nearly.1,000 of these priso
ners were captured- on Wednesday evening by
the 11th army corps in their gallant charge on
Longstreet's corps. They are-said to have at first
slightly; faltered, but their officers cried to them
to "remember Cnancellorsville," when they
rushed into the fight with a fury that was Irre
sistible, and tbe whole line of the enemy gave
way before them. . f ; ' V
During the early part of Thursday, up to noon,
at which hour our informant left; there had been?
no general battle, though heavy sktrmishioghadf
freetr irotrttrim'll Vtin toomlng. resulting In ierr
loss to the enemy. and the capture of nearly 5,000,
prisoners, in all these skirmishes, which were
conducted under the direction of Gen. Meide,
our arms were entirely successful 5 but the enemy
studiously avoided a general engagement, and it
was thought there would be none -belore to-day
when it was said to be the intention of General
Meade to press the enemy along the whole line.
The prudence and skill displayed by General
Meade in the management of his army, and the
strategy evinced by him in coping with Lee, had
already won the confidence of his troops, and his
presence along thelmes drew forth thestfongestde
demonstrations cf attachment. The army.evincod
a determination to win at all hazards, and. had
been strengly impressed by their officers with the
dreadful consequences that would ensue to them
and the country if a disaster should occur to our
arms in the coming conflict. ',' . 4

er's brigade fought all day yesterday at Milliken's
Bendt completely routiug the enemy, and driving
them to . their boats . with great floss. ; Our loss
was; I suppose, about 100 killed and wounded.
. In the fight yesterday, after we had completely
routed the Yankees, and they were in full retreat
to. their boats, our men in pursuit of them, en-
cjuntered a negro regiment; who, seeing the de
fsat of the Yankees; and afraid to fight themselves',
immediately threw down their arms and rah to
wards our men for protection ; a poor wretch wag
snot, others new toward the river, pursued by
our men,' who got behind the leveo ahd out of
reach of the gunboat and continued the slaughte
with an unsparing h&nd. - " : - ' ' '
m The negroes seeing themaelves entirely deserted
by the Yankees, who had taken to the boats, telU
ing the Hacks to "fight it out," fought desperate.
As our troops had the advantage, aid the negroes
were entirely cut off from retreat by the river, the
slaughter among the negroes was terrible. I
have been told by many men who were engaged
in it, that the ground was literally covered with
them. We have captured a great many. . Un
