corps at Chambersburg, and Hill's corps between that place and Cashtown. The 28th of June was spent in ascertaining the positions and strength of the different corps of the army, but principally in bringing up the cavalry which had been covering the rear of the army in its passage over the Potomac, and to which a large increase had just been made from the force previously attached to the defences of Washington. --Orders were given on this day to Major-General French, commanding at Harper's Ferry, to move with seven thousand men to occupy Frederick and the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, with the balance of his forces, estimated at four thou-thousand, to remove and escort public property to Washington. On the 29th the army was put in motion, and on the evening of that day it was in position, the left at Emmetsburg, and the right at New Windsor.

thern papers. We yesterday gave a summary of the results as stated by him, and to-day publish, as a very interesting matter of history, his report. He says: The Confederate army, which was commanded by Gen. R. E. Lee. was estimated at over one hundred thousand strong. All that army had crossed the Potomac river and advanced up the Cumberland Valley. Reliable intelligence placed his advance thus:--Ewell's corps on the Susquehanna, Harrisburg, and Columbia. Longstreet's corps at Chambersburg, and Hill's corps between that place and Cashtown.

eld strewed with his dead and wounded, and numerous prisoners in our hands. Buford's division of cavalry, after its arduous service at Gettysburg, on the first, was, on the second, sent to Westminster to refit and guard our trains. Kilpatrick's division, that on the 29th, 30th, and 1st, had been successfully engaging the enemy's cavalry, was on the 3d sent on our extreme left, on the Emmetsburg road, where good service was rendered in assaulting the enemy's line and occupying his attention. The result of the campaign may be briefly stated, in the defeat of the enemy at Gettysburg, their compulsory evacuation of Pennsylvanian and Maryland, and withdrawal from the upper valley of the Shenandoah, and the capture of three guns, forty-one standards, and 13,621 prisoners. 24,978 small arms were collected on the battle field. Our own losses were very severe, amounting, as will be seen by the accompanying return, to 2,834 killed, 13,709 wounded, and 6,643 missing--in all 23, 186.

of cavalry was on the left flank, with his advance at Gettysburg. Kilpatrick's division was in the front at Hanover, where he encountered Gen. Stuart's Confederate cavalry, which had crossed the Potomac at Seneca Creek, and passing our right flank, was making its way towards Carlisle, having escaped Gregg's division, which was delayed in taking position on the right flank, by the occupation of the reads by a column of infantry. On the 30th the right flank of the army was moved up to Manchester, the left still being at Emmetsburg, or in that vicinity, at which place three corps, First, Eleventh, and Third, were collected under the orders of Major-General Reynolds. General Butord having reported from Gettysburg the appearance of the enemy on the Cashtown road in some force, General Reynolds was directed to occupy Gettysburg. On reaching that place, on the 1st day of July, General Reynolds found Buford's cavalry warmly engaged with the enemy, who had debouched his infantry through

In conjunction with Major-General Howard, General Hancock proceeded to post the troops on Cemetery Ridge and to repel an attack that the enemy made on our right flank.--This attack was not, however, very vigorous, the enemhe rest of the Third, had reached the ground, and were posted as follows: The Eleventh Corps retained its position on Cemetery Ridge, just opposite to the town; the First corps was posted on the right; the Eleventh on an elevated Knoll connecting withere it crossed the Baltimore pike, and which formed on the right flank of the Twelfth something of an obstacle. Cemetery Ridge extended in a westerly and southwesterly direction; gradually diminishing in elevation till it came to a very prominent ridge called "Round Top," running east and west. The 2d and 3d corps were directed to occupy the continuation of Cemetery Ridge on the left of the 11th corps and 5th corps. Pending their arrival the 6th corps was held in reserve. While these di

M. first. Broke up my headquarters, which till then had been at Taneytown, and proceeded to the field, arriving there at 1 A. M. of the second. So soon as it was light I proceeded to inspect the position and to make arrangements foattle, the enemy retching to his lines, leaving the field strewed with his dead and wounded, and numerous prisoners in our hands.
