The World, of the 4th, says: At last a gleam of intelligible light relieves the murky chaos of official telegrams, in which, for three days past, the battle-fields of Pennsylvania have been enshrouded. In a dispatch which would have better satisfied the general expectations, and gone further to appease the general anxiety, had the War Department thought fit to publish it in full, but which, even

eidleburg, met Stuart, Fitzhugh Lee, and Wade Hampton, with what he estimated at 10,000 cavalry, who were moving in the direction of Gettysburg. Their officers told him that Lee had no intention of leaving Pennsylvania, but was going to remain here until his army was destroyed or victorious. The gentleman arrived here this evening, the enemy making no effort to retain him. Two militiamen from Susquehanna county were killed this evening at Camp Curtin by lightning. A dispatch from London this morning states that yesterday the rebels left Chambersburg, taking the road in the direction of Gettysburg. Before leaving they burned the depot and workshops belonging to the railroad. London is fourteen miles west of Chambersburg. The enemy also evacuated Shippensburg yesterday, moving in the same direction. Everything goes to show that Lee has his whole army concentrated between Cashtown and Gettysburg. The train that left Carlisle at seven o'clock this evening brou

Meade assumed the offensive. The day before Lee had attacked Meade, and was repulsed with heavy loss. Lee holds a gap in South Mountain, near Chambersburg, through which he hopes to escape, if defeated. A guard stationed at Bridge Eighty-four on the Northern Central Railroad, heard firing in that direction, like that of flying artillery; whence it is believed Pleasanton is again at work with his dashing cavalry, fighting for the possession of the gap. Columbia, Pa., July 3.--Capt. Roberts, of Philadelphia, who was captured near Gettysburg and paroled, has arrived here. He reports that yesterday, beyond York, a courier from Gen. Meade to Gen. Couch stopped at a house to have his horse fed. The women in the house became alarmed and blew a born to collect the neighbors, when the courier; fearing that the noise would reach the rebels, threatened them if they did not desist. At this moment the owner of the house arrived and, taking the courier for a rebel, drew a pistol

Our forces are known to have gained upon the enemy until 4 o'clock this afternoon.--Since 5 o'clock the firing has been much heavier and more rapid, indicating a general engagement between the entire armies.

It is in the rear of the enemy. The 2d army corps moved up from Hanover at 8 o'clock this morning.

s: "The action commenced again at early daylight upon various parts of the line. The enemy, thus far, have made no impression upon my position. All accounts agree in placing their whole army here. Prisoners report that Longstreet's and A. P. Hill's forces were much injured yesterday, and had many general officers killed. Gen. Barksdale, of Miss., is dead. His body is within our lines. We have thus far about 1,600 prisoners, and a small number yet to be started. " Dispatches abo We first attacked the enemy's advance just beyond Gettysburg and repulsed it, when the whole corps became engaged, and subsequently the Eleventh corps, which came up to support by the Emmetsburg road. The opposing forces were the rebel corps of Hill and Ewell. Our men gallantly sustained the fight, holding their own until 4 o'clock, when they retired to a strong position just to the east ward and southward of Gettysburg. This was maintained until the arrival of reinforcements at night, and

hing to encumber the army as little as possible on the march, he left everything that was superfluous at Brashear city. His tents, his army knapsacks, the officers' baggage, considerable supplies of stores and provisions, have all fallen into the hands of the Confederates--Beyond the few clothes worn by those who escaped on the Hollyhock, (and they did not stop to make very elaborate toilettes,) everything was captured. Lately a small train has been run daily on the Jackson railroad to Kenner, fourteen miles above the city and sometimes on to Manchaca, on the South Pass of Lake Maurepas. Manchaca Pass has been the scene of bridge burning more than once within a few months past. Yesterday a train with the only locomotive on the road was sent up to Manchaca to bring back the hand cars, tools and men who have just completed the repairs of the bridge. That train did not return, and we have news this morning that it was taken by the Confederates, who now hold the Pass. As this give

There has been more or less skirmishing all the morning, but no engagement of dimensions. Both parties are preparing for the great contest before them. Our troops are in splendid condition, and fight like veterans. Among the casualties in yesterday's engagement were the following: Lieutenant Bayard Wilkison, commanding Battery G, Fourth regular artillery, son of Samuel Wilkison, Washington correspondent of the Times, right leg shot ofi below the knee, while gallantly fighting his battery against an eight- gun battery of the enemy, enfilading his position; believed to be a prisoner.
