THE FEBEL MOVEMENT UPON -BURNSIDK. | On Wednesday last we published important mews we had received, to the effect that Long- street was advancing upon Burnside in force ; with the evident purpose of driving him from , East Tennessee, and that fighting had already | occurred between Longstreet’s advance and Buruside's outposts. Some of our cotempora- | Ties affected to discredit our information, on | the ground that Bragg would not dare to di- vide his army before Chattanooga to the extent of detaching any considerable force in the | direction of Knoxville. They will now seo | that we were well informed, and that Long- | street is positively making a formidable at- | tempt to regain possession of East Tennessee | for the Confederates. | The dispatches published elsewhere in to- | day's paper give further particulars of the | fighting announced by us to have taken place, | and show that it occurred near Kingston, a | small post village, the capital of Roane county, | at the junction of the Holston and Clinch rivers» 145 miles S. E. of Nashville, and 40 miles S. | W.of Knoxville. Cumberland Gap, Burnside’s main line of communication, is 32 miles northeast of Knox- ville. a While this desperate move of the Confeder- | ates enables them, if successful, to put Burnside in a critical situation for the time being, it at the same time places them in a situation of yet | greater danger, strategically considered; anda | | to thank you for this compliment. The infer- | communit; PRESEN: AN IMMBNEE CONCOURSE BRESENE: 3 Ov PRESIDENT GINCOLN. AND PERCHES SECRETABY SEWARD. =| —>—_ The dedication of the Cemetery,for the braye soldiers who were slain in the Baitle of Gettya- borg, induced the attendance of probably as large if not a larger number of people that ever assembled before at any one celebration in this country. The President and his snite reached Gettysburg at 6% o'clock on Wednesday eve- ning and was greeted at the Depot with mach enthusiasm by © large gathering of citizens, who follewed him to his lodgings at the resi- dence of David Wills, Esq. — During the evening 4 large number of per- sons continued to linger round the residence, eager to see the President, and ‘in hope that he would be induced to make a speech. SPEECH O¥ THE PRESIDENT. The Band of the 5th New York Artillery ser- enaded the President soon After his arrival, in response to which he made the following ad- dress: I appear before you, fellow-citizens, merely ence is a very fair one that you would hear me for a litde while, at least, Were I to commence to make a speech. I do not appear before yon for the purpore of doing so, and for several very substantial reasons. The most substan- tial of these is that I have no speech to make [{laughter.] It is somewhat important in m:; position that one should not say any foolis! things if he can help it, and it very often hap- pens that the only way to hélp it istosay noth- ing atall. (Renewed laughter.) Belioving that that is my precise position this evening, I must beg of you to excuse me from saying ‘‘one word.” The Presicent was moat enthusiastically greeted, and when he retired, he didso amid prolonged applause. SPBECH OF MR. SEWARD. After eerenading the President, the band pro- ceeded to the residence of Mr. Harper adjoin- ing, where Secretary Seward was stopping, and serenaded him also. Mr. Seward acknowledged the compliment, by making a bricf speech, as follows: Fellow-citizens—I am now sixty years old and upwards. I have been in public life, practically. forty years of that time, and yet this 1s the first time that ever any people or so near to the border of Maryland was found wi ling to listen tomy voice. And the reason was that I saw, forty years ago, opening b&fore this people a grave-yard that ‘was to be filled with brothers falling in mu- tual political combat. 1 knew tbat the cause that was hurrying the Union into that dreadfal strife was Siavery, and wher I elevated my voice, it was to warn the people to rerove that cause while they could by constitutional means, and so avert the catastrophe of civil war which has fallen mn the nation. [A voice— That's true.”} am thankful that you are willing to hear me atlast. 1 thank my God tnat [ believe this strife is going to end in the removalof thatevil | Which ought to have been removed by peaceful means and by deliberate counsels. [Applause.} I thank my God for the hope that this is the last fraterral war which will fall apon the country which is vouchsafed tous by Heaven— the richest, broudast, the most beantifal, the most magnifi.ent and the most capacious of a quick, enterprising General like Grant willbe | great deeuny that has ever been given to any apt to maxe them suffexfor their temerity. Our information on Wednesday led us tothe | belief—as we then stated—that Burnside had fallen back upon Knoxville; and the dispatch from Knoxville, vip Philadelphia, just re ceived, and printed elsewhere, shows that such | was the case, at .

THE CELEBRATION. Thursday moruing opened bright and bean- liful, and at an early hour the streets of Get- tysburg were thronged with the gathering thonsauds, and the busy note of preparation tor the grand demonstration was apparent on all sides. At nine o’clock the military portion of the procession began to assemble on Carlisle street, north of the public square, and the civic por- tion en York street. Frem a tall flag-siatf in the center cr the square, and on all the public buildings and many private houses, the national ensign was displayed at halt-mast, and soon the mournful booming of minute guns smote upon theear, | del! umparting to the otherwise joyous features of the demonstration w touch of sadness that led the thoughtful to realize that asanation we must sorrow while we rejoice, for the great deliverance here achieved throngh the glo- rious success youchsafed to our bleesing of a merciful Providence, At 10 o'clock the procession commenced moving over the route designated toward the | Crmeiery, in the order already published. The miliary portion of the procession was headed by a squadron of cavalry, foliowed by Major Gen. Couch and Staff. The Sth New York Artillery regiment, from Baltimore, with their fine battery, were next | in line, presenting a splendid appearance. Gen. Schencls and Staff were algo present. Next came the Marshal-in-Chief, Ward H. Lamor, Egq., and bis numercus staff of aids, wearing yellow and white scarfs with tri-col- ored rosettes on the breast, and blaek and white shoulder knots. Among the Marshals, we notice from this city the names of Hon, Joseph Casey, A. B. Olin, Capt. Scheetz, Messrs. Thomas E. | Lloyd, Robert Lamon, B. B. French, John Mattingly, ©. M. Boteler, S. P. Hanscom, A. S. H. Wlite, John Hay, P. Snyder, Nathan Ht Barrett, Gen. E. ©. Carrington, Jchn Van Riswick and Hon. A. P. Usher. Next came the President of the United States, aud Secretaries Seward, Usher and Blair, all fipely mounted. The President wore a plain suit of black and white kid gauntleta. Great curiosity was man- ifested by the people everywhere to catch a glimpse of ihe Chief Magistrate. | The remainder of the procession was chiefly composed of yarious civic bodies. The head of the procession reached the plat- form ereeted in the centre of the cemetery a quarter before noon; but some time was con- sumed in assigning the different bodies their | position round the stand; and it was not until after 12 o'clock that the President and others, | assigned to seats upon the platform, were all in their places. All the arrangements haying been finall compleved with great order and decorum, B. B. French, esq., acting as one of the Uhiet Marshal's Aides, gaye the signul, and the sol- emn ceremonies were commenced by the per- formance of a funeral dirge by the band, sta- | toned in front of the platform: , Rey. Thos. H. Stockton, Chaplain of the U. S. House ot Representatives, then offered a most impressive DIAyer; after which Hon. Ed- troduced by Hon. B. B. French, and delivered an eloquent address. A age ‘was then sung by the Union Glee Olub faltimore; and President Lincoln then ap- yeas at the foot of the platform and de- vered the following dedicatory address : Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth u pom. this conunent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the pro- poeition that all men are created equal. [Ap- plaure.) Now, we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any other nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on 8 great battle-field of that war, we sre met to dedicate a portion of it as the final resting-place of those who here gave their lives that nation might liye. It is altogether fitting and proper that we shoulda do this. But,in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hal. low this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above ser rey: power to add or detract.

The following order announces the decision and sentence in the case of W. T. Smithson: Gun at's Ovrton, ‘ADs oenington, November 90, 1663, Wiliam T. Smithsgn, convitied by the Gen eral Court-martial of ‘‘holdiag correspondence. with the enemy, in violation of the 57th Article’ of War,” and. of “giving intellic gence to the enemy,” in violation ; of the same article, has been sentenced “To be confined in the Penitentiary at Albany, Wew York, or fw such other place as the Secretary of War may direct, for the term of five years.” The sentence has been approved by the Pres- ident, and the Secretary of War has desig- bated Albany, New York, as the place of con- finement. E. D. TowmsEnp, Assistant Adjutant Gensral. . —— IMPORTANT FROM RICHMOND. —————— UNION PRISONERS TO BB SUPPLIED BY THIS GOVERNMENT, —ee We learn through recent correspondence— up to the t7th from Richmond—between Robert Ould, rebel exchange commissioner, and Gen- Meredith, our exchange commissioner, which has reached this city, that the rebel authorities are taithtully executing their promise to give our men, prisoners in their hands, the food and clothing the Government has forwarded to Richmond to that end. Alleging that General Neal Dow has violated the obligation under which be was selected to distribute the sappliea in question, General Winder has taken that duty from him. Winder complains that General Dow, instead of con- | fining himself in his visits to the Belle Isis prison, to distributing the goods, has busied himeelf with investigating the management of the rebel commissariat there, with starting talse reports concerning it, and with becoming the surreptitious bearer of a letter from the island. These allegatious General Dow de- nies with great emphasis, and states that what he learned concerning the conduct of the rebel | commissariat on the islund he could not avoid hearing; as it was uttered by our mer (prigone ers) in loud tones of complaint in the presence ot rebel officers, &c. General Winder has substituted a board of Union officers—Col. A. Von Schrader, Inspec- tor General of our 14th army corps, Col. L. P- Cesnola, 4th N.Y. cavalry, and Lieut. Col’ J.¥. Boyd, Quartermaster to our 20th argy corps—te make the distributions in question, and states that co large is the quantity of such things being received, as that he must appoint ; other such boards to aid that named above. Our Hospital Department here (Acting Snr- geon General Barnes) has come forward to add medicines to the stores thus furnished to our suffering heroes in Richmoud by the Goy- ment. The rebel authorities will not permit our agents to accompany the goods within their lines, substituting rebel commisssriep in their stead, where the flag of truce boats pheet. It will be seen from the above that the ciate- mentthat the rebel anthoritles had refused permiggion for this Government to send food to Union prisoners at Richmond fs untrue. It would be difficult indeed to believe that the rebel authorities were such monsters of cruel- ty as to refuse us permission to feed those they are unable tolfved themselves and who must otherwise perish by starvation. THE CASE OF WM. T. SMITHSON. From an official paper cr order published in the Star this afternoon, it will be perceived that Wm. T. Smithson, banker. of this city, has been sentenced, by Court Martial, to five years imprisonment, &c., and that the Secretary of War bas designated the Penitentiary at Al- bany, N. Y., as the place in which he shall be confined. We learn that he was duly sent thither, under guard, last night. The procesd- ings of the court martial by which he was con- Victed have not yet been divulged. We are therefore, unable to state the evidence on which he was convicted of holding improper corres- pondence with the publie enemy. The public will, however, recollect tha: he was first arrested on & similar charge, by order of the State Department, as long ago as when Beauregard was commanding the rebel forces in our immediate front. Certain letters, signed “Charles Capers,” fell into the hands of the Government, being found in a captured rebel mail. They were addréssed to Beauregard in person, and contained abundance of just such information as a pald spy stationed in this city would communicate. They were written .in a hand so closely resembling that of Smithson, who bad then been for some me under surveillance, as thathis prem- ises were searched; and in his private writuag deek was found the other half sheet of the paper, on which the most atrocious of the Capsrs’ letters was written. There existed no doubt whatever of the identity of the two half shi of paper, and scarcely less of the handwriting, Hts offence was not punished at that time, and subsequently it was found necessary to re- arrest him, with ghe result indicated in the ordor mentioned above, THH DIFFICUL EXCHANGE. That the public may understand the ques- tion that is at the bottom of the difficulty in the exchange of citizen prisoners held by our au- thorities and the rebels, we have to state that when the former demand the discharge of spe- cial citizens arrested without cause, the rebels refuse; urging that both sides shall come to an agreement not hereafter to arrest any citizens. This cannot be acceeded to; inasmuch as it is absolutely necessary for the success and safety of our military operations in rebeldom that cit- izene—claiming privileges of citizenship-ex- emption from being treated as enemies in arms —must not be permitted to give information and otherwise aid the rebellion. Our Govern- ment is most anxious to avoid treating those potin arms as enemies; not being engaged in war against citizens—but against organized rebellion against its suthority. To acquiesce in the demand of the rebel suthorities would be neither more nor less than an equivalent to an acknowledgment of their complete inde. pendence.
