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 V , if end 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 ,. .

The country around Gettys¬ burg is rich and finely cultiva¬ ted.

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.” „ •n 1 rotest .
