This wes on the @th ‘day of November, 1862 The removal of General McClellan caused gome Uttie detay in the army movements, after which, at about thovend.cf the month, the Army of the Potomac became sconcertfated on the banks of the now world-tamed Raye | pabannock THE BATTLE OF FREDERICLSSURG, With ‘the’ command of the First corps, and while be- dong ing to the left wing, under Franklin, General Reynolds Jed the advance of that part of the army to the terrible ‘@ltick upon the works of Fredericksburg. He crossed the river on the 11th of December, and during the fearful | fight of the 18th hig corps sustained the principal loss of | Franklin’s grand division. The corps loss exceeded three thousand, which was the largest loss but one in any of the corps of the grand Army of the Potomac during that awful stroggio. His bravery on this occasion was particularly markcd, a8 also was that of his old division, the Pennsy! vania reserves. MAJOR GENERAL OF VOLUNTEERS. As his rank and his command were very inappropriate | at this time—his comission boing only that of « brigu- | dier general of volunteers, while his actual position was _ equal to thatof a lieutenant general of any o:her army—he ‘Ap: dinted by the Presi.‘ to the rank of major | general, with @ commission to date from November 29, | 1362, His nomination was sent ia to the United States Senate in January, 1863, but was returned with a number of other appointments for a revision of the list. The Senate iad determined not to confirm any appointments ‘er promotions unless made for bravery im the field. When the revised list was sent in during March, 1863, the name of Geveral Reynolds was recommended for promotion -ery om the field.” On the ih of March, 1863, Goneral Rey uuids received his commission ag major gene- b rank dating from November 29,1862, The posi- 4.0 of bis name on the army rol! mado him the ranking | =n ‘wl of the corps commanders now in the | eld. HOOKER’S ORGANIZATION OF THB ARMY. When General Hooker reorganized the Army of the Po- @omac avd did away with the grand divisions, he an- nounced on February 5, 1868, that General Reynolds should stitl hold command of the First army oorps. This | corps was so placed that it should occupy the extreme Jeit of the line, and occasionally made excursions down | the banks of the Rappabannvck for the purpose of pre- | venting the rebels crossing the river and turning their slank. ‘THE MAROH TO PORT ROYAL. General Reynolds had #0 ably drilled bis troops and ‘nured them to hardships that cn one occasion they ac- | complished one of the tinest forced marches on record. | The following order will best set forth what was accom- | plished om the occasion:— GENERAL ORDRRS—NO. 51. Heapquarres, Fiast AnMy Coxrs, April 24, 1863. ‘The Commanding (oneral takes occasion to thank the Twenty-fourth Michivan and Brooklyn Fourteenth regi- anents, under Colouels Morrow and Fowler, for the prompt manuer in which they accomplished the ovjec. of the expedition to Port Royal.

The most intense excitement has prevailed here all day m reference to the battle at Gettysburg. No details have been received. Everything else has given place to the military news. Much apprehension is entertained ‘Up to this hour the government bas not received any official details of yesterday's fight near Gettysburg. The fact of its not being in immediate communication with the headquarters of the Army of the Potomoc will explain the non receipt of despatches. It is very likely that our army has been engaged in combat with the enemy to-day, although, if this be true, the War Department has no official notification of such | fact. THE LATEST FROM HARRISBURG. Harnissura, Pa., July 2, 1863. The latest reports of a reliable character state that the enemy have burned the village of Gettysburg. It is also affirmed that a great battle has been in progress all day to-day, near Gettysburg, between General Meade's army and the rebels. Thero is little to jodgefrom here; Dut from what there is I comciude the results are not un- favorable. A column of rebels, estimated at twenty-five thou- sand men, passed through Dillsburg yesterday, from the direction of York. The road was filled with them all the way across. The column commenced to pass the village at cleven A. M., and continued passing by the Toad and the fields till near dark. My informsnt says they Lad many cannon, but he could not say how many. They seemed to be moving towards Gettysburg. A gentleman who arrived here from York this evening reports a cannonade audible in the direction of Gettys- | burg. ‘this was probably the engagement detween our j army and the rebels already mentioned. He says tho sounds were distinctly audible, and continued up to the time my informant left. Our lines extend about five miles beyond and around Carlisle. To-night the enemy show no disposition to renew the attack upon the town.

A demand was sent for an unconditional surrender of | Carlisle by General W. H. F. Lee. General Smith promptly refused to give up the place, when the rebels placed a battery of six pieces in position ‘to the left of the barracks, aud commenced to shell the town. General Smith replied from his guns, which were mounted in Main strect, near the centre of the town. Dur ing the shelling the rebels made a detour around the railroad and fired the barracks. ‘The gasworks were also fired, sparks from which are said to bave burned several lumber yards, one private dwolling and several barns. ‘Some citizens are known to be injured. The Court House was damaged, and several shells fell upon the college building and grounds. General Lee thon sent in another flag of truce, notifying the women and children to Jeave the town by ten o'clock this morning.

Brigadier General F. B. Tyler, of Ohio, and Brigadier General Daniel Tyler, of Connectiout, are in command of the forces for the interior defence of the city, and have already enrolled and brigaded over ten thousand Union Leaguers, besides the military, of whose numbers I can say nothing, Brigadier General Tyler commands the outer defences of and approaches to the city.

Barrmwong, July 2, 1863, The American this afternoon publishes the following:— ey ‘HeapquaRrers Ov THE MippLx DePARTMENT, July 2, 1863. ‘Until further orders the citizons of Baltimore ci county are prohibited from keeping arma in thei session, unless enrolled as volunteer companies for defence of their homes. In accordance with the foregoing order the dwellings of citizens are now being viatied by the provost marshals and the police to obtain the arms in their possession. We loarn from a gentleman who was at Westmiuster, anda prisoner in the ‘hands of the rebels, during their sojourn in that town, that General Stuart, with his caval- ry force, reached there about five o'clock in the after- noon, and did not leave until daylight the next morning. ‘The rebel party who had a fight with the Delaware caval Ty was General Stuart’s advance guard, and numbered about three hundred, The rebels lost in that fight two Neutenants killed and fully a dozen wounded. One of the wounded was an officer, who was shot by a citizen who took part in the fight, ‘and is reported to have since died. Colonel Muiford, the commander of the rebel advance guard, admitted to the citizens that the charge of the Delaware cavalry was most brave and dashing, but he thought very rash, in view of the disparity of numbers. The rebels admitted that their lors in killed and wounded was greater than ours. Our loss was two privater killed and twenty eight taken Prisoners. The rebols also captured Lieutenant Bowman and the Provost Marsbalof Westminster, with ten of his men. The rebel sympathizers at Westminster are charged with havfag given information as to Union citizens, though the rebels in their levy on storekeepers. treated all slike, Fitch’s dry goods store was completely gutted. Bowen & Gehr, commission merchants at the depot, lost heavily, and Mexell & Orndorff suffered to the amount of seven hundred dollars in flour and feed.

Iam bere at General Knipe’s headquarters, one of the prettiest and most romantic situations I ever saw. There is a stream here with swan floating upon it, and though the surroundings are warlike, the suggestions are all of ‘& peaceable character. General Knipe, though having an arduous command, is fully able and competent to do us justice. The couriers who have arrived state that no enemy is between this place and Carlisle. General Knipe isa native of Harrisburg. He served in the regular army, resigned, and was cngaged as a cord. wainer in this place. He is active and energetic, and I think is destined to make his mark, ‘The rebel officers who have been in communication with our front state that the rebels are greatly our supe- riors , 80 far as moral and respectable force is concerned. At the fight at Carlisle last evening the Coatesville cavalry, of Chester county, acted very bravely. Lieutenant Stroud, of the Anderson cavalry, has just reported to General Knipe that the enemy are retreating by the Gettysburg road towards York. Lieutenant Stroud also reports that our forces are advancing. Thave bed a long converxation with Mr. Jas. Orr, He was in communication with the rebels till Wednesday. They visited his place in this vicinity, behaved reapecta- diy, asked for nothing they did not pay for, and though taking bim prisoner treated him kindly, He could not tell their numbers, but is certain they had artillery with them. The Eleventh regiment of heavy artillery, from New ‘Yorx, is vory generally complained of. 1 baye been re quested by a large number of New York officers, who have the credit of the State at heart, to state through the Hunatp that their conduct is not spproved of by the troops frem that Stais. Dennis Swaney, a soont belonging to Yho Coatesville cavalry, has travelled to-day seventy-six miles. He en- tered Carlisle this morning, amd came near being cap- tared. He has nothing now to report. There is no trath in the report of the repulse of General Smith. THE TWENTY-SIXTH PENNSYLVANIA REGI- MENT SAFE. Haaetsecna, Pa., July 2, 1863.

Nearly alt the remaining divisions of our army reached the field shortly after the firing ceased for the- , day. At nine o'clock on Wednesday morning the First ang Eleventh army corps reached Gettysbarg, entering from. the ovst side of the town, and marching directly through to the west side, the cavalry forcs of the enemy.in the town galloping back as we advanced.
