The President has just issued the following congratulatory order :. WasnincTon, July 4th—10 a. m., 1863. The President announces to the country that news from the Army of the Potomac up to 10 p.m. of the 3d, is such as to cover that army with the highest honor, to promise a great success to the cause of the Uajon, and to claim the condolence of all for the many gallant fallen, and that for this he especially desires that on this day He whose will, not ours, should ever be done, be everywhere remem- bered and reverenced with profoundest grati- tude. (Signed,) GREAT AND GLORIOUS NEWS! THE UNION ARMS VICTORI- OUS IN THE GREATEST BATTLE OF THE CENTURY! (, After the last edition of yesterday's Stir went to press official despatches reached Washing- ton announcing that oneof the most desperate battles of the war occurred on Thursday after- noon from 4.30 until &.30 p.m.,in which our General Zook and the rebel General Barksdale were killed. Prisoners invariably assert that Longstreet was also killed. ‘We take the following account of this great engagement from a special despatch to the New York Times, published in that journai’s issue of yesterday afternoon: At about 4 p.m. the enemy sent his first compliments by a salvo of artillery, his first shell falliag uncomfortably near Gen. Meade’s headquarters. From this hour forth to 3% o’clock occurred by all odds, the most san- guinary and bloody engagement yet chronicled in the annals of the war, considering its short duration. The artillery attack which was made by the enemy chiefly on the leit and centre, was rap- idly followed by the advance of his infantry. The Third Corps received the attack with great coolness. |The Rebels at once made an attempt to geton our flank, and kept moving heavy eolumns in that direction. This necos- sifated support which was quickly given by the Fitth Corps, the division of Gen. Barnes’ being sent to the right and that of Gen. Ayres (~gulars) to the Ieft, with Gen. Crawford in reserve. The battle now became terribly fearful. The armies engaged each other at a very short range, and for three long hours the roar of musketry was incessant. I have heard more noises, louder crashes in other battles. but I never saw or heard of such desperate, tena- cious fighting us took place on this flank. The enemy would often bring up suddenly 2 heavy column of men and force our line back, only to be in turn foreed back by our own line of glittering steel, Gur gallant columns covered themselves with glory over and over again. They fonght @ superior force in numpers; the dispositions of the enemy were very rapid, tor look where you would on that field, @ body of rebels would be advancing. Our dispositions were equally rapid, and the enemy found more than their equal in such gallant veterans as Sickles, and Birney and Humphrey's. At General Sickles was struck in the right leg by a piece of sheil and borne from the field The injury Was so great that amputation became neces- sary, and it was performed successfully, the limb being taken off below the knee. The struggle grew hotter and hotter, and many of our regiments, Small enough before melted away into almost nothing. The Second Corps was called on fer aid, and though its own position was strongly threatened, yet the First Division, formerly General Hancock’ss flung themselves into the fight with despera- tion, and after along and obstinate conflict, the enemy slowly and eullenly gave way. In this last charge the brigade of General Cald- well, Second Corps, and that of Col. Sweitzer, from the l’ifth Corps, won great hon The charges made by our men deserye men- tion, but want of time forbids. The rebels made frequent attempts to capture our artil- Jery; and at one time had Watson’s battery in their possession, but it was retaken ina fu- rious charge by Birney’s division. The battle lasted till fully half-past 8 o’clock, when the enemy fell back te his old position, and leftour veterans the ensanguined victers of that field. Our pickets were thrown out, and our lines covered the most of the field, in- cluding great numbers of the enemy’s dead and wounded. I visited some portions of the lineby moonlight, and can bear personal wit- ness to the terrible ferocity of the battle. A great and magnificent feature of this fight is the splendid and extensive use of artillery. Though our line was only a mile anda half long, yet almost every battery belonging to the Artay of the Potomac was more or less en- gaged. Every one of tne Reserve batteries was brought into action, the positions for use being numerous. The enemy also used artillery largely, but not to near so great an extentas we did. From this they suffered immensely, especially on the left, where canister was largely used. I be- lieve we lost no artillery, unless it was two or three disabled pieces, though it was very won- derfal we did not, considering how the ene- my’s forces were piled on toihem. Some of their skirmishers were literally blown away trom the muzzles of eur guns. Our loses at this hour cannot be computed, For the two days’ fighting they must reach 10,000. We mourn the loss of many valuable officers, but they have been amply revenged in the hecatombs of rebel dead who lie piled along our lines. The enemy withdrew his force tsom the city of Gettysburg yesterday, and occupies it now only with skirmishers. Ony skirmishers ad- vanced into itashort distance last night, and now hold considerably more than they aid. Capt. Dahlgren, volunteer aid to Gen. Pleas- anton, made a daring scout into Hagerstown yesterday with twenty picked men, and cap- tured more prisorers than he had men in his party. He also captured a dispatch bearer from Jeft Davis to Lee, with despatches of the greatest importance, the nature of which can- not to-day be properly disclosed. They haye an important bearing on +‘ coming events.” LL. Grouneg. On withdrawing from from the field Lee Jeft his dead and wounded in our possession, ABRANAM LINOOLH. The night was passed by our glorious vete- rans in confident preparations for the deadly eonflict that seemed likely to be renewed at daybreak yesterday. At four a. m., as was expected, our artillery opened fire along the whole line, and a hot engagement began, which continued until haif past one p.m., with, as far as is now known here, snvariable success on our side, though the rebels fought with terrible desperation and obstinacy, assuming the offensive early in the action, and expending themselves in many fruitless assaults of greater or less mugnitude until prepared for their last grand and most fruitless effort of the day, which General Meade narrates in his dispatch of £.30 p.m., which is as follows: @fficial Dispatch of General Meade. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Poromac, July 3d, 8.35 p. m., near Gettysburg.—Major General Halleck, General-in-Chief > The enemy opened at 1 p. m. trom about 150 guns, concen- trated upon my lett centre, continuing with- out intermission for about three onrs, at the expiration of which time he assaulted my lett centre twice, being upon both occasions hand- somely repulsed with severe losg to him, leay- ing in our hands nearly 3,000 prisoners. Among the prisoners is Brig. Gen. Armistead and many colonels and officers of lower rank. The enemy left many dead upon the field and @ large number of wounded in our hands. The loss upon our side has been considerable. Major General Hancockand Brigadier General Gibbon are wounded. After the repelling of the assanit, indications leading to the belief that the enemy might ba withdrawing, an armed reconnoissance was pushed forward from the left, and the enemy found to be in force. At the present hour all is quiet. My cavalry have been engaged all day on both flanks of the enemy, harrassing and yi- gorously attacking him with great success, notwithstanding they encountered superior numbers, both of cavalry and infantry. The army is im fine spirits. GEORGE G. MEapa, Major General Commanding. We have to edd that unofficial, thongh re- liable, information to the same hour—S.30 p m.—has also been received here. These ya- rious accounts speak of yesterday’s battle as haying been decisive, rendering Lee’s retreat apparently absolutely certain unless willing to risk the annihilation of the remnant of his army. Without being able to pronounce upon the justice of this belief, wnich was general Jast evening in our army, we have to say that all accounts so far received here, olflicial as wellas unofficial, strengthen tie hope of its correctness, Though our loss has been heavy, egprcially in officers, that of the enemy has been territic, evidently largely exceeding ours. From the information before us we are not prepared to ‘believe tha: Lee will venture to renew @ general engagement on this glorious 4th of July, 1-63,if he did not getintoa full retreat for the Potomac some time last night, with what is left of his army; the recollections of the day, as wellas of their great successes of the two previous days, being such as while they must doubly arm our gallant troops for another day’s terrific fighting, if Lee remains competent to yenture it, they rust at the same time operate to the signal disadvantage of the rebels’ possibility of success. We need hardly add that, taken as a whole, the terrific battles of yesterday and the day before are victories tor the glorious cause of he Union worthy of the history and memory of this sacred day on which they thus become known here. The following are among the casualties re- ported : Generals Zook, Weed and Paui killed, Gen- erals Sickles, Barlow, Graham and Warren wounded. Generals Ward and Barnes slightly wound? ea. Col.

An official dispatch wes received here yes- terday atternoon from Major General ‘Meade, dated: . HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoTowac, July 2, 11 o’cleck p. m.—The enemy attacked me about four o’clock this afternoon, and after one of the severest contests of the war, was re- | pulsed at al} points, We have euffered considerably in kiiled and ‘wounded. Among the killed are Brig. Gen. Paul and Zook, and among the wounded Gens. Sickles Barton, Graham and Warren, slightly. ‘We have taken a large number of prisaners. [SECOND DISPATCH.) A later dispatch has been received from Maj. Gen, Meade, dated at § o'clock yesterday morn- ing, which says: “The action commenced again at early day- light upon various parts of the fieid. The enemy thus far have made no impression upon my position. All accounts agree in placing the entire Rebel army in position in our front. The prisoners we haye taken report that Long- street’s and A. P, Hill’s forces were much in- jured yesterday, and many General oflicers killed. The dead body of Gen. Barkedale, of Missiesippi, is within our lines. ‘We have thus far about sixteen hundred prisoners, and a small numer are yet to be started.” {This number of prisoners, sixteen hundred, is as stated in General Meade’s official dis- patch. He may poseibly mean that they were captured inthe fightof Thursday night and Friday morning, or the previous statements of correspondents may have been exaggerated.) IMPORTANT FROM HAGERSTOWN, OE SE aes BEINFORCEMENTS FOR LEE MOVING FROM WILLIAMSPORT VIA THE OLD GREEN- CASTLE TURNPIKE, SS We have information trom Hagerstown as late as yesterday morning, to the effect that re- infercements for Lee were being hurried up from Williamsport, via the old Greentastle turnpike. There is @ report at headquarters that a con- sigerable force of Confederate cavalry were at Gum Springs, in Loudon county, yesterday, but the fact that Moseby’s cavairy were at Hagerstown on Thursday—of which we haye certain information—throws doubt on the story of the preeence of rebel cavalry in London county. ROSECRANS’ IMPORTANT SUCCESS, The capture of the enemy's strong position, of Tullahoma, Tenn., and its full occupation by our army under losecrans, official news of which last event has reached here, is an event of signal !mportance—worthy, indeed, of S@nnouncement on this glorious day. Itis the key to the possession of East Ten- nessee, and the point in frent of Chattanooga for which the two great armies in that region have so long contended. Itneceseitates that Bragg’s army shall qnick- ly retreat to the fastnesses of Chattanooga, re- leasing the large arms bearing Union popala- tion of East Tennessee to co-operate hereafter most effectively, we trust, with our gallant troops under Rosecrans, LATE AND MOST IMPORTANT FROM RICHMOND, We have news from Richmond up to the day before yesterday morning, when 950 Union prisoners (taken from Milroy in the Valley) left there on a flag of truce boat, to be ex- changed. At that time there were no rebel troops there except the few manning the works_ The citizens were being assembled every after- noon at three o’clock for drill. The fear ot Dix s rumored approach was universal there. Our informant, an intelligent and experienced member of our quartermaster’s department, estimates that, as new defended, the city will easily fall, if vigorously assailed. VICKSBURG.
