FEDDRATE NOTES.
The New York Tribune haa a long letter dee
acribing the entry and behavior of our troops in
Chambcreburg. from which we make tome ex
tract!-.
On Monday morning we received information
of ibe erasing of the Potomac and .dvance to
Hagerstown, soma twenty miles loath of this
place. About nine o'clock in the morning oi
Monday, straggler*, refugees sad contrabands
commenced pouring into our town, some on foot,
others on horeaback nnd. in vehicle*. Shortly
thereaiter army wagons appeared in Jarge imm.
bars, the horses wearied, drivers excited. Con
trabands, mostly women nnd children, accompa
nied the train or note riding in the wagons.—
Very shortly a perfectly panic stricken train an-
peared. Horseman at fall gallop, teams in foil
flight, gearing and swingle trees broken, buyout
w. the horeea* mouths, wagons with one hind
wheel off, ret at a full gallop down onretreeta,
•mid donda of dust. Trooper* rode so teat that
in one ease in our street, one rode full upon
the hind end of a wtgon, killing his horse in -
atantly, and tending the cowardly rider some
ten test in advance. This panic was created
fourteen miles south ot our town by a few
drunken cavalrymen, who rode at full sweep
dawn to the train and cried “the rebels arecom-

the regimental chew belonging toCol. . 106th

and Aed again, as if it had been a great impedi

CapL Fitihngh,of the l«th regiment Virginia
Cavalry, when in occupation of oar town, who
left it where it had been led. In the meantime,
-nr merchants aad businessman commenced, for
ihe second time in the hiatory of tma war. to pack

evening, at 6 o’clock, telegraph connection with
Greencastle, eleven mUea distant, ceased, the
enemy having reached that place- .
At half-paw eleven o clock in the night some
fifty cavalrymen rode at a gallop down through
our principal street, and very shortly the main
body entered and took poweewon of the town —
The citizen* were ordered to keep within their

sessi n of the Southern States and cities; yon
have devastated them—laid them jn waste.—
Vfe intend carrying the war .into your midst,
nnd treat you as you have treated its.’'
Attempts were made by them in their re
treat to fire other buildings, but owing to the
fright they were in, they did not snooeed in
eluding tbe vigilance of our citizens, who ex-
singuirhed ihe flames; even the Government
hay waa not burned.
The MeConnelisburg (Pa.). Democrat has
the following iu count of the behavior of Jen
kins’ cavalry while in that place:
“About daybreak on tbe 18th, a force of
ab jut 200 rebel cavalry made a dash into town
and surrounded it in a few seconds. They
then eommenoed their work of plunder,' tak
ing horses, negroes, and a large amount of
store goods. ' Hsouts were then sent out in
every direction, and returned' with a drove of
fat cattle that hail been stopping here for the
night. We aro sorry to state that Captain
States, of Bloody Run, had fourteen fine hor-
ses taken. A number of our citizens succeed
ed in getting their horses baok again, through
pleading of (he ladies. Shortly after the cav
alry entered the town, some refugee, it is raid,
fired a pistol, wounding one of the number,
which caused considerable excitement among
them. They left (own anoul 9 o’clock in the
direction of Hancock. During their stay in
town, they wont to thj jail and released a
prisoner that was arrested near Grcenoarfle,
and aleo John Forney, who wnt in prison for
the murder of Lieut. E. N Ford. The rebels
toak both of them away.”

The Richmond papers rf the 6th eontain
extracts from the Baltimore American and Sun
of the 3d, and the National Intelligencer of tho
2d instant. We select the following:
THR FIB ST DAY'S BATTLE.
The Baltimore American has the following
account of tho first day’s battle:
It appears that at 9 o’clock on Wednesday
morning (tbe 1st Inst) the 1st and 11th Corps
of the Army of the Potomao reaehed Gettys
burg, entering from the east aide of the town,
and inarching direotly through to the west
side, the cavalry ioroo of the cnomy tailing
back as we advanced. On passing out of the
west end of the town, tho enemy was ototrved
advancing rapidly from the Chaxberaburg
pike, in lino of battlo, towa ds the town, evi
dently endeavoring' to bold au Advantageous
position commanding the town. The 1st
corps, under Gen. Reynolds, was in the ad
vance, and pushed forward at double quick to
secure the advantageous position. The enemy,
under liongstroet and Hill, advanced steadily,
and in a few minutes a heavy fire, both of ar
tillery and musketry, was opened along tho
whole Federal lines. The 11th Army Corps,
under Gen Howard, waa also soon in position,
aud for a time a heavy battle raged. * Several
chargt s were made by the enemy, to dislodge
our forces, all of wliioh were liuauccosstul..
At 2 o'olook the enemy massed his entire
forces and endeavored to turn our right wing.
.Gen Reynold* advanced to neel thorn, and a
'H ^'•"‘Tlli Ilf-Dim-in* in. vshten

musketry being poured into the opposing’ col
umns with deadly, effeot. In the charge Maj-
Gen. Reynolds fell mortally wounded, aod
died soon after being conveyed to Gettysburg.
He was, *» usual, leading hi* oorps, and In the
thickest of the fight. Gen. Paul, commanding
the 3d brigade of the 1st army corps, was also
killed on the field, and Cols. Wislar and S:one
fell severely wounded, and were taken prison
ers by the enorny. The field between, the con
tending armies was strewn with the dead and
wounded, and it is said that the enemy ruffer-
od fully as heavily as we did, though it it not
known what was their loss in offioers.
The effort to flunk our right wing entirely
failed, and we hold the prominent and com
manding position for which the straggle was
made at the close of the fight, which ceased
for the day about 4 o’olook in tbe afternoon.
At this time two more oorpa of Gen. Meade's
army reached the field, and during the night
the main body of our army was in position to
moot any demonstration that the enemy might
make in the morning, or to advance on him,
as the Commanding General might deoide.—
The first army corps nobly maintained ite po
sition against the effort to flank ita right, and
scarcely faltered for a moment, when its gal
lant commander fell under the murderous fire
of tbe enemy. A great and decisive battle
was considered iminent, and, notwithstanding
our severe loss in offioers, the advantages of
the day were regarded os decidedly with onr
forcos.
The army was in fine condition, full of enthu
siasm for the coming battle, and confident of
success, i en. Meade had aleo, it waa thought,
concentrated his forces to a greater extent than
the enemy, a large portion of whose army was
still scattered up through the Cumberland Val-
ley.

THR SECOND DAY’S FI9HTI.N0.
The American learns from parties that left
Gettysburg nt noon Thursday, that up to that
time everything was progroesing favorably for
the Federal arms. It aays:
Up to that time they assert that over six
thousand prisoners had been captured and sent
to Union Bridge for transportation to Balti
more. At nine o’clock last night n train with
800 prisoners, the first instalment of those
eaptured,. arrived at the Baltimore depot, and
shortly after Gen. Schenok announced from
his headquarters that those then in Baltimore
and at the Relay House, which would soon be
in his possession, amounted to 2,300. We
learn that nearly 1,000 of these prisoners
wore captured on Wednesday evening by the
11th army, osrps in their gallant charge on
Longstreet’s corps. They aro said to havo
at first slightly faltered, but their officers cried
to thorn to “remember Chancellors*ilte,”
when they rushod into tho fight with a fury
that was irresistible, and the wholo lino of the
enemy gave way before them.
Daring the early part of Thursday, up lo
noon, at which hour our informant left, tuere
had been no general .battle, though heavy
skirmishing hail beon going on all the morn-
tog, resulting in heavy loss to tho enemy and
the capture of nearly 5,000 prisoners. In til
these skirmishes which were conducted under
tko diroction of Gen. Meade,jour arms were
entirely successful; but the enemy studiously
avoided a general engagement, aad it was
thought there woul i be none before to-day,
whon it is said to be the intention of Geuerai
Meade to press ihe enemy along the whole
ljue.
Tho prndenoe and skill disjilayed by Gen.
Meade in tho mangemeat of his army and tbe
strategy evineed by kim in coping with Lee,
had already won the confidence of his troops,
and his presence among the lines drew forth
the strongest demonstrations of attachment.—
The army evinced a determination to win at
nil liaz irds, and has been strongly impressed
by their offioers with the dreadtul consequen
ces that would ensue to them and the conutry
if a disaster should occur tj our arms iu tho
coming conflict.
Tho enemy was rapidly concentrating his
troops yesterday from the Cumberland Valley
towards Chamberabnrg, and General Meade’s
whole army bad reached the fi nd of battle —
If Gen. Jouoh presses on the enemy down the
Valley, with his troops from Harrisburg
which is confidently expected, wa may lo. k
for a glor ons result.

The expected battle between the forces of Gen
Lee and Gen. Meade commenced Wednesday
morning, snd at last account# wa* progress mg
m the vicinity of Gettysburg. In regard to
this battle we have received as yet no official
account.
Yesterday morning the train from West

the early part of the engagement on Wednes

•ft the morning, and that about IQ o’clock
Qen. Reynold’s was shot while cheering on hia
men. He was on the left wing of his forces,
and the ground where ho fell, lies somewhat
to the left of tho Convent.
There was intense 'excitomenf manifested
during yesterday, when It became known that
a general battle was in progress less than fifty
tuiiet from the city. There was no nndne ex-
oitoment, however, and at 5 o’olook all plaoes

Some gentlemen connected with the pres* who
arrived here last Thursday evening, from Get
tysburg, having lett before daylight in tbe morn
ing, state that the rebels had held Gettysburg tor
some rime previous to the appruaehof onr army,
and had not oily occupied, but had commenced
fortrfying the h lie west of the town, where
thev proposed to check our advance towards
Chamberabnrg and themonthof the Cumberland
' The movement ol General Reyno’da and the
rapidity tilth which he advanced after entering
the east end of the town, tcok them somewhat
by surprise, and be a 000 obtained tbe promine.it
position which the rebels were fortifying. Tbe
fishting through the balsnce ol the dnv was in a
futile attempt on their part to regain this import
ant position, from which they were iteqnnntiy
repulsed.
Early in the afternoon both Longefrhet and
Hill combined their forces for a grand effort to
mm our tight fl*t.k, when Gen. Howard’* Uth
corps, (the Dutch corps.) which broke and ran at
Chancelloraviile, dashed in to regain tbicr lost
laurels, and most noble d.d they repulse these
two veteran corps of the rebel army. Tne re
pulse was ao complete that no further attempt
waa made by tbe enemy during the balance of
the day, and night closed in with onr holding
tne position chosen by the enemy to give ns bat
tle trom. The 3d and 12ih army corps also came
on tbe field after the last repulse of the enemy,
ent owing to the foil of Gen. Reynolds, and the
lateness of the hour, as well aa tho eihauation
ot the men, and the desire to take care of the
wounded, it waa determined not to push the enemy
for * renewal oj the conflict

on that day as rather unfavorable lo our arms,
and states that the enemy held the field at
the close of the day, our forces having fatten
hack after the foil of Gen. Reynolds; that
the attack of tho enemy was so sudden nnd un
expected that both the corps of Hill and Long-
street were for a time engaged with Gun Rey
nolds’ corps, and that the 11th corps took but
little part in tha battle.
the batteries again took up a commanding position,
which they were enabled to hold during Ui* day.
In rear of tho.pnsitlon to taken up, and to the
right, the division of Gen. Wadsworth was
drawn up in liua ol battle, with the division of
Gen. Robinson holding the second line. At the
moment that these formations were completed
the rebels, emboldened by their . partial success'
in driving from position tho batteries, attemp'ed
another charge, with therefeject of eeiztng the
pieces, when the origades of the 2d division,
with fixed bayonets, made a charge upon them,
and such as were not kilted were taken priso
ners—a Tennessee and Mississippi regiment—
were then bagged.
Immediately after- the arrival and going into
position of the 1st corps, the 11th, under tlie amis
able and brave Gen. Howard, who had been in
the rear and marching on the same road as the
firet, made their appearance, marched-tiirectly
through the town and at once formed a lift* of
battle on the right of the Ch&mbersburg road and
some-half a mile west of the college, which te.
located at the extreme end of the town! ■ After
some three hours of artillery dueling the rebels
commenced to retire. There were massed two
infantry corps, and in this formation a pursuit of
their retreating column was commenced. After
driving them back towards the mountain, some
thing over a mile, soon after i- o’clock it waa
discovered that wiiban extensive force of iufant*
ry and .cavalry, they were endeavoring to ufrn
our lell flank, with a view, probably, to get be
tween us and our supply trains. Before this be
ing noticed, and it bring evident Ihat our rein-
forcemerts, the 3J and 12th corps, who had been
anxiously inquired after during the entire day,
were not yet up, no other alternative waaoffered
us than to. retire to the east end of the town,
and take up a belter position upon the top ot a
hill and along the Hue or road leading to Euis
metleburg. Tbia waa done, but in admirable
order, no unnaual haste being apparent, while
at the same time all ammunition and supply
wagons aa were up to the iront were sent to the
rear.
A little after 1 o'clock the 3d corps, under
command of Gen. Sickles, came opon the field
and went into position upon the iett of that .held
early in tho morning by the 1st corps. The 12th,
under Gen. Slocuiub, as well, arrived about the
same time, and were stationed open the right oi
the Uth corps. Alter those two corps as well
as those who bad borne the heat and Oorthen o
the day, were formed in battle array, they made
an advance, and with bnt little resistance suc
ceeded in driving tho rebel* from the town, and
back into tbe position they first occejiied earty
in the morning. In this manner, and in these
locations, both armies are resting for the night.
The 2d, 5ib aod 6 h corps are moving this way.
and by morning witl be up and ready to do battle
with us.
White the latter mentioned movement was
being made, tbo enemy kept up a continual raiu
of shot and shell upon the town, and, when
cessing, their cavalry dashed through the town,
capturing all stray pirtiee there congregated,
together-with the w juuiied.wno wera occupants
of, snd the surgeons and nurses who were in at

ale there located. While the firing was in pro

In the contusion occasioned by the charg of
cavalry, and our approach to many hospitals be
ing ent t tf, it is impossible to obtain -a correct
list of casualties. Our looses though are enor-
montiy heavy, especially among field and line
officers. Neither are we warranted in guessing
how seriously the rebels have # *u«er*ii.
Of the rebel* nothing definite aa to their nu
merical strength ie here positively known ; at
least, if known, it oot mated, soexeplacing their
entire strength in PcnnsyIvania at 80.0ft), oiheta
at 125,000. . .
