Longstreet was directed to place the divisions of McLawfell back, and it being now nearly dark, General Longstreet determined to await the arrival of Genere attack. The general plan was unchanged: Longstreet, reinforced by Pickett's three brigades, whips by the ford at Williamsport, and those of Longstreet and Hill on the bridge.

deep, pushed up the eastern part of Culp's Hill under a heavy fire of musketry, and were ordered to lie down scarcely thirty yards from the enemy's breastworks. An angle in the enemy's works, not 100 yards to our right, exposed us to a severe flank fire; While lying down, we could distinctly see the Federals rise and fire at us from the works in front. Indeed, they fought so stubbornly, that orders passed up the line that we were firing into our own men, and we began to think that it was Longstreet coming up from the other side. After lying in this position probably fifteen minutes, we were ordered to charge, and as we climbed over the breastworks we distinctly remember seeing dead or wounded Yankees within the works. Our battalion (Second Maryland) had its Lieutenant-Colonel and Adjutant badly wounded, and also lost a number of men. General O. O. Howard says the enemy's troops took quiet possession of the points vacated. （Five soldiers who participated in this part of the ba

General R. E. Bodes' report of the battle of Gettysburg. [General R. E. Lee's, General Longstreet's, General Ewell's and General Early's reports of the Gettysburg campaign have been published, together with General J. E. B. Stuart's report of those stirring and important movements which preceded and which followed the great battle. We are indebted to the courteous kindness of Mrs. Rodes for the Ms. of the original report of Major-General R. E. odes, whose division bore so important a part in that campaign. We are sure that many inquirers after the truth of history will thank us for giving (for the first time) to the world this report of the accomplished soldier, whose gallantry and skill won for him so high a reputation, and whose death on the field at Winchester was lamented as a sad loss to the army, and to the Confederacy. We hope hereafter to publish others of the more important reports of this great campaign.] Report.headquarters Rodes' division, Orange C. H.,

ad distributed his artillery along this line in the most eligible positions. The corps of General Longstreet (McLaw's and Hood's divisions) was on my right, and in a line very nearly at right angles to mine. General Longstreet was to attack the left-flank of the enemy, and sweep down his line and I was directed to co-operate with him with such of my brigades from the right as could join in with st of the ridge facing the enemy's line. In addition the battalion of Colonel Alexander, of — Longstreet's corps, was put in position in front of the right wing of Anderson's division, and on the groed by Pettigrew, and Lane's and Scale's brigades, of Pender's division, to report to Lieutenant-General Longstreet as a support to his corps in the assault on the enemy's lines. As the troops were f our march. Heth's division (his own and Pender's) was leading. General Benning's brigade of Longstreet's corps was also along and rendered prompt and valuable assistance.
