The Battle of Gettysburg. WHO SELECTED CEMETERY HILL? 2083 Mass. AVE. N.wW., Oct. 14, 153 Editor Siar:—1 see a controversy in the pa- Pers as to who selected Cemetery Hill at the battle of Gettysburg. If you will permit one of your subscribers, who was there, and wo, by the position he then occupied ought to kuov alittle about it, to state his experience iu th matter, 1 will say that neither Gen. Hanex nor Gen, Howard can lay claim to the above. named distinction. On the morning of July ist the 11th corps was ordered to march with ali poesible dispatch on the Emmittsburg road to- wards Gettysburg. The 2d division, General A. yon Steinwebr commanding, had the advance that day. When only a short distance from Gettysburg, Generals Howard and Stelawehr and thetr staffs loped ahead until they halted on Cemetery Hill, The frst word spoken then and there was addressed by Gen. Steinwebr to Gen. Howard as follows: “General, we must bold this position under all circumstances; thts Will be the key to the whole battle.” Where- Upon Gen. Howard ordered Gen. Stetnwehr with his division to occupy and hold Cemetery Hi!i— and we held it throughout the battle. I heard the above words spoken, being close to both Generais. Neither Gen. Hancock nor Gen.

TWO CENTS The Ute Difficulties, THE SINGULAR STORY OF BERRY’S ARREST. The following telegram gives in Mr. Berry's own words the singular story of his arrest for the murder of a Colorado freighter, and the events which brought it about.

Pitkin his regret that at this crisis Agent Berry and Commis- sioner Meacham, the two oiticlals perhaps best able to keep the peace there pending the settie- Ment now about cosummated, should be in such @ way taken off the reservation, Col'Meaciam has been subprenaed in the same case: Los PINos, CoL., Oct. 9, 1553.—Tb Seerefary Interior, Washington, D.
