J We ioy quietly at Fayetteville until Wednea* day. the Ist July, whoa wo took up the march for Gettysburg, Pa., about 25 miles east of Cham bers burg.und 20 from Fayetteville; as had to cross South Mountain und pass out of the Cum berlaud valley into the valley of the Sueqnea tannah. It rained at intervals all day. and we ! had a most distressing march, going to within; two miles of Gettysburg beiore halting. I was . very sick all day, and at 2 o’clock, P, Jl, could | no fong-ir sit in my saddle, and had to seek she.e : ter and a oed in a house by tba wayside, the brigade continuing, as before stated, to within a | n: !e or two of Gettysburg. About It) or 11 j o’Hock, A. ill., Heath’s Division, which was ,n advance, tncountcred the enemy some three or! lour miles from Geliysburg, pretty strongly post- ; eu on a range of hills, lie soon drove intin back for a mile or so, wheu Pender’s Division, also of! cur (Hill’s) corps, coming up, they pressed the | enemy vigorously and drove him back to the town. Late in too evening iv.-odivisiuns of Ew* ell’s corps—Early's and up on the right ot the enemy’s line, and drove him into and through the town to a mountain range on the south side of the town, when tbs fight closed. None of Longstreet's corps, nor our division of | Hill’s ccrps, nor Johnson's Division of Ewell’s | corps, were engaged in this day’s fight. The en- ; emy were badly whipped, and driven for more than three milt's, with great less in killed, wound- i eu and prisoners- 3,0000 f the latter beieg taken, SECOND DAYS’ BATTLE. . On Thursday morning, Ju'y 2d, oor whole : * army having been placed in position, except i General Pickett's Division, of Geu.

But one tbooght see.es to eciuate them ail, and that is to gain a -ate place ic the rear. Pickett left alone, still rashes forward upon the ene ay—be has , gained the stone wall—has gone over it—is in the enemy’s wake—n»« si.eticed their guns. 1 cud see with u;y glass our battle flag wavmg in toe ■'nemy ’s batteries, w here bat a moment since tbe Yankee color* floated in the breeze, fake care, ' brave Yicgintao, you are in a trap; the support ou vour ngbt and ett has fallen'back.

They j I now attempt to cul their way out, but many are 4 killed aud wounded, and many more are ;aken j ! prisoners. I learn that a stand of colors fell into ! • the enemy’s hands, and the greater part of the regimen's. And thus again after whipping ihe ; ' eoetnv, after drirtsg him from and capturing his j ' gun*,"our gallant men are driven back because \ j the? were not properly supported.
