P. M. when General Kilpatrick, with the main column, reached the crest of the hill overlooking Williamsport, on the Boonsboro pike. General Buford's command had been engaged with the enemy two or three miles to the left for two or more hours; Major Medill, of the Eighth Illinois, had already fallen mortally wounded. Two pieces of Pennington's battery were placed on the brow of the hill to the right of the pike, and the other pieces to the left. A squadron of Fifth Michiganders had previously infantry, strongly posted behind fences, walls, and trees. Tibball's battery was opened with effect, and joined with our skirmishers. The rebels could not stand the fire and ran. While the Eighth Illinois was charging a barn near this point, Major Medill fell, mortally wounded, while gallantly leading his men. This brigade was relieved by the one commanded by Colonel Devins. the right at Gettysburgh. But little has been said of the part taken by the cavalry on the right at Gettysburgh,

tting clothes. Notwithstanding this rather unfavorable introduction, I was most kindly and hospitably received at Chicago. It happened that I had a letter for Mr. Medill, an elderly gentleman of Scotch descent, the editor of the chief newspaper in those parts, the Chicago Tribune. I called on him, and we conversed amicably togetple, purporting to have been contributed by me to the Pall Mall Gazette over here. It was a poor hoax, but many people were taken in and were excusably angry. Mr. Medill of the Chicago Tribune amongst the number. A friend telegraphed to me to know if I had written the criticism. I, of course, instantly telegraphed back that I ritten a syllable of it. Then a Chicago paper is sent to me; and what I have the pleasure of reading, as the result of my contradiction, is this: Arnold denies; Mr. Medill [my old friend] refuses to accept Arnold's disclaimer; says Arnold is a cur. I once declared that in England the born lover of ideas and of light could not b

e introduces a statement made to her by the late Joseph Medill, editor of the Chicago Tribune, of what took place between Mr. Lincoln and a Committee of which he (Medill) was a member, sent from Chicago to Washington, to intercede with the authorities there to be relieved from sending more troops from Cook county, as was required by the new draft just then ordered, and which, as we know, produced riots in several parts of the North. The author makes Medill tell how his Committee first applied for relief to Mr. Stanton, and was refused, how they then went to Mr. Lincoln, who went with them to see Stanton again, and there listened to the reasons assigned prhere begging to be let off. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves. I have a right to expect better things of you. Go home and raise your 6,000 extra men. And Medill adds that he was completely silenced by the truth of Lincoln's accusation, and that they went home and raised the 6,000 additional troops. We could multiply test
Irrepressible conflict among the Republicans --A rencontre occurred in the National Hotel at Washington, Friday, between Mr. Kellogg, of Illinois, and Mr. Medill, editor of the Chicago Tribune. Mr. Kellogg declared, in the House, a few days ago, that he had crushed out the big Tribune of New York, and he would do the same by the little Tribune of Chicago. The parties met in the hall of the hotel, and a few words led to blows.--Mr. Medill was floored by a blow from Kellogg, and pummelled ullogg, of Illinois, and Mr. Medill, editor of the Chicago Tribune.

This is the commencement of the "irrepressible conflict" among the Republicans.
The Tribune and Mr. Kellogg. The New York Tribune is down upon Mr. Kellogg, M. C., of Illinois, for pummelling Mr. Medill, editor of the Chicago Tribune. It says that Kellogg is a large and powerful man, and Medill much his inferior in size and weight, and so crippled by rheumatism in the spine as to be a mere child in his hands. Therefore the Tribune speaks of Kellogg as a "ruffian and a bully." The Tribune is always reporting the South as "a mere child" in the hands of the North, and cMedill much his inferior in size and weight, and so crippled by rheumatism in the spine as to be a mere child in his hands. Therefore the Tribune speaks of Kellogg as a "ruffian and a bully." The Tribune is always reporting the South as "a mere child" in the hands of the North, and calling out lustily for coercion. Is there anything of the "ruffian and bully" in that? It does not like its own medicine applied to its friends or to itself. If Mr. Kellogg should take the editor of the Tribune in hand, he would consider it a very great outrage, on account of the disparity of physical strength. But it is all right every day of your life to excite eighteen millions to make war upon half their number. That is a very heroical and humane proceeding, worthy the consistency and c

A Comment on Fremont's proclamation. The New York Day Book continues to speak out quite boldly, despite the efforts at suppression. The following is from that paper of Sept. 6: * * This is too obvious to be disputed — if Mr. Fremont can alter the relations and change the status of the "slave," he can alter the relations and change the status of the "rebel" master — if he can make the negro a free man, he can make the white man a slave. Has it, then, come to this, that the native born, free American can be stripped of all the rights which God and nature as well as the laws of his State and country give him, at the bidding of a military despot? No, indeed.
