Considera ble time has elapsed since first commenced out it being of rather a descriptive char acter, 1 dout tuppoA.age will injure it. But we are now at Bunker Hill near half way from Marliosburg to Winchester, be inr ten miles from the first, aud twelve from the latter place, aad mail facilities established. ; i Since we lett Chambersburg, J'a, we have fought a heavy battle. One which in our own country would have bceo a victory, a it was, our counnUsary sup plie were nearly xbaur.ted and our am munition also low, so much so that the reserve traiua were emptied of nil the am munition for artillery u that they con tained, and In this condition our forces were unable to remain in th position we then held for anv Ieni7th of time. But I ( will give you some of the detail of that fight of which I was an eye Jsitnes aud, such other part a I. think I have reliable information of, , ' We left our Bi vouac near Gbarobersburg on the morning of tbe30th ultimo, and notched omLfour fivrsfiile i on 'the pike leadins to Gettysburg and halted and wcS wsBlittio- hi vwuumMfJi li?e4Jii.y the afiernooii of theIsf ajC:mvforw?ri : jndsroslhe nlountun, passing hy everal iron estao IjabDlenU which hs bit-u -onttto'd by the flame "'km d before, we halted tliat night al abetit 3 o'clock and on tlw morning of 2d at about 2 o'clock we again took tip the line of march and arrived at tbe border of yterdy'a battl6eld early in tbe foronoon.r Herw w remained till near noon, then our Division (Cen.

The plao fiiiallv adopted., general attack along tbe whole line, and the signal for the attack was two gun in quek succession. Before the aigiudVthe two BaUeries protecting th right 'flank were ccrrrrpelied to open, and the kirmi!bers had got to be very annoy in", which after a few rounds, scattered tli'-m. ttut before this had buen aocora .1islt.d ,ieHisrnal gwns had been fired, and at the cessation ot the nrtf off ine uana,iue hi ts Sem ed almost to be trembling he neath the heavy concussion of the numer ous guns that were then being served in the most gallaut' manner. Althouah the infantry were actively and hotly en gared, not a musket or a rifle could le Wrd. The roar of artillery drowned all. I have been in all Uie heavy battles in Virginia and Maryland, with theexoeplioo of Cedar Mountain and Chancellorsville, but never have I beard such artillery firing before; the smoke arosa in cloud above the tree lops and waa wafleil about by the breeze as tbe rain cloud drift before the wind. The sturdy oaks that hare stood the storms for age trembled under the roar, and fell as they Were cut off by the cannons' shot." It is needless for me to add, that while this horrid and unearth ly scene wa being enacted, Utiit man, the agent, who put iu motion the. destructive Tngme Wis's tlnnouud that pot the fields of Gettys burg, bear ample testimony to the fact, and the crowded state of the Hospital show that many have won honorable scars. 'While thi scene, which I nave described, was being enacted along the .frontline, tbe Yankee cavalry attempted to turu our flank, but in their fiit advance tbey wet a Regiment of Gen. Anderson Brigade, Hood's Division, which gave them such a warm reception that they soou retired ; ih then dismounted a tortion of their" men and sent them out on foot to feejourl lines, when they discovered ai gap in our lines between two Regiments, they sud denly dashed in wkh about four huudred .,.... i. t...l in.-i and rode straight for the TjatteriesTT rhich-'opeiielJ-o them bell tBd canj ,.andwUvjrere kTniciw-tW BatWrUu,kunjM itifaMTr closed in tWir rear ul . placed ihem bet weerf IWtf fffvst Tlsere V t of them nearer thainhirty or forty axf lof fur-gut they Immediately wheeled tolheir "right aad all were killed wouud ed -or- captured, except eiglteen, which managed to-et out.
