GETTYSBURG.
CONTINUED.
So soon as Ewel met this ad¬
vance of the Federals, he threw
forward a large body ol skir¬
mishers, and shortly after hurl¬
ed the main body c f his corps on
the Federal column. The Fed¬
erals slowly retired, disputing
every inch of ground. When
within one mile of the town,
Ewel made a desperate charge.
The Federals fought splendidly.
For two hours and a half the
tide of battle ebbed and flowed.
The fighting on both sides was
desperate, and maintained with
great obstinacy. Musket shot,
and grape and sheik death and
destruction on every side.
Whole brigades Melted away
before the irOiti stone. The
ground was covered With the
dead and dying At last the

Ewel, sweeping^ before him,
charged through the toWn, and
a mile end beyond, to the when conflict. night The put
an
night of the 1st of July, Ewel’s
corps lay upon its arms. The
first days fight Was ft singal
vietdry for the Confederates.
The loss, killed land wounded,
was heavy on both sides, but
the Federal loss wks More grea¬
ter. All night long the sound
of preparation foY all the deadly
conflict, was heard along the
Federal line. HeaVy guns weyO
placed in position, trees felled,
new earthworks were thrown
up, and every Federal precaution was
made by the comman
der to render his position a tow¬
er of strength.
On the mornirig ‘Of the -2nd
of July, the two remaining
grand corps, with the Confeder¬
ate General at their head, came
up. These two cOrps number¬
ed 25,000 each, commanded by
Longtreet and A; F. Hill. That
splendid battalion of heavy
guns, the Washington Artillery,
from New Orleans, was with
Longstreet. This was the most
efficient body of artillerists in
the whole Confederate army;
perhaps the world never saw a
better disapfined body of men
The corps of A. P. Hill was a
choice one, and presented
grand appearance; Lee’s entire
army was ip a magnificent state
of proficiency.
Those who would get a elea *
idea of the battle of Gettysburg,
have only to draw a semi-circle,
the concave side of which is to
the town. The Confederate
line of battle was drawn around
this semi-circle,’with their backs
toward the town, and fronting
the convex side. The ground
beyond rolled into eminences
VariOU8 . dimensions ,. . J. from the ,1
llttle v ,,-i r*ii hill, to 1 jbhe ii rather -1 high l •
Liiic hills, that make a man tug and
mill pull to to climb Climo fhpm inem. Tho ine ftiffe/l smes
of Ot many manV of Ot ffipqp tnese mm hills are are ao- ah
rupt, but some of the depres
sions afford admirable cover for
infantry against artillery.
The country around Gettys¬
burg is rich and finely cultiva¬
ted. Numerous fine farm
es dot the valley in every direo
tion, some standing out boldly
on the hill tops, others half hid
deum the foliage, with arge,
comfortable barns about
and peach and apple orchards
stretching away m the distance

Meade had carefully studied
the ground, and had taken ad
vantage of every position. Lee
was in the undulating country
and the plain > he had no time
to study details or to look after
advantages of position. The
Federal army was above,
Confederate army below. The
forenoon of the 2nd was con
sumed in arranging the grand
line of battle, mid in making
disposition of, and giving posi¬
tion to the artillery. A.P. Hill
commanded the centre, Long
street commanded the right
win g, and Ewell the left
One hundred and fifty pieces^
artillery Of various calibre* Were
scattered along the entire line.;
In Longstreet’a front, the left of
the Federal line rested upon a
conspicious promontory, known
of “Round Top.” This posi¬
tion had been carefully reooa
noitered by prominent officers’
of Lee’s army, at mid-day, an£
by many of them
“impregnable.” „
