Regarding it as the decisive battle of the war, I thought it Wise Lo pnt ils main features on record while the Lacts were familiar and the principal actors at hand. 1 ebal- lenged criticism; and threo replies have appeared, aceusidg mo, not ovly of imacexracy, bot downrixht mis @latoment. ‘This induced me to redonble my researches, as my oply motive wag to aid the future historian of this great event, To my satisfaction more than to my surprise, ! fnd that not only was the outlive of my picture correet, but nearly every detail and incident exact. J stated, it may be remembered, that the jeft wing of our army, under the command of Genera! Sickles, was-selected by General Lee, a8 his report shows, for the main point of his attack. T stated, alvo, thai whilst this formidable attack was preparing, ail the morpirg of thursday, July 2, General Sickles was left withont orders, in spite of bis urgent en- treaties to the Commander ia-Chief, General Meade. 1 stated, likewise, that during this fearful interval, instead of being occupied with the steady advance of the @newy, Genera) Meade was entirely engrossed with the plans for aretreat that Ceneral liutterfield, his Chief of Staff, was employed in drawing up, and that just at the moment the general order for retreat was prepared the cannen of Long- street opened on our left wine, under Sickles. I stated, furthor, that, as retreat was now hopeless, Gen. Meade gal- Joped up to cur left ank and inspected the dispositions General Sickles had made on bis own responsibility to repel the every, when the following colloquy ensued, which I repeat in epitome:— Are your lines not too ex tended, General Sickles?” eaid Ge Commander-in-Chief, “Can YOu hold thie fron: “Yee.” replied Sickles, *'till more troops are sent up.”? “F will send you the Fifth corps and a division of the Second corps, and yon ern have all the artillery you need.” Jsteted, finally, that the Third corps, constituting onr left wing at the begin ning of the battle, withstood “heroically,” to use General Meade’s expreseion, the furious onset of Longstreet for nearly an Lour, before the reinforcements promised to Sickles, by the Commander in-Ohief, arrived and took their part in the dreadful ‘ray. Now, 1 appeal to your readers whon | ask, what one of these statements deserib- ing the beginning of the action, or any other portraying the contest of Friday, July 3, a= well ag tho mglorious failure of General Meade to profit by his victory in pur- suing and destroying the enemy, has been disproved or controverted by the anonymous communications Published in reply? Not one. Allow me briefly to notice thei. The first evidently emanates from @ champion of the Second corps, whose task was gratuitous; for it was far from my intention to disparage, by a single word, the val- fant troope of the Second corps or their gallant command- er. The writer in question ie deeply offended that Gene- ral Sickles Ogured so conspicuously in the fight of July 2; Dat that is no fault of mine. The blame, if any, 1s to be at- tributed to the eagerness and activity of General Sickles. The said writer, however, makes one charge so grave that it demands refutation. He declares that Sickles advanced his corps 80 far away from his supports, on bis Tight and left, as to cost the lives of three thousand men to extricate him. He calis th’s ‘a sad error and an un- accountabie onc.” Yer, it would have been an error for which General Sickles would have been immediately cashiered if he had committed it, ‘She asper- sion i8 preposterous. What General Sickles did do was to make s simple mancuvre which the movements of the enemy required, He changed bis front to the left by wheeling forward the centre and right wing of his corps ¢0 as to confront the flank attack of Long- streot. No military critic would call this an advance, If he had not done this he would have been cut to pleces by an enfiloding fire, and the safety of the army might haye been compromised. Furthermore, it would have been difficult for General Sickles, at the moment in question, to abandon the support on his left tor the obvious reason that he bad none; for the Fifth corps, which afterwards took up position on bis left, not there when he ebavged front. So much for “Another Eyowitners.”? The second reply which appeared in your columus is signed by a “Staff OMcer of tho Fifth Corps,” and he indulges in a series of such reckless ap- gertions as to show that neither bis temper any more than his memory, if he was at thet’ battle, qualified him for the task of rectification. He tirst denies that General Sykes reported to General Sickles on the field. Then General Sykes failed in his duty, for he was ordered by General Meade to do eo. Let me vindicate Sykes, however; for he did report, and Sickles ested him to take position on bis ieft, and alao to re- pile c2eral Ward's brigade and Smith's battery, on the aeserte HUGtP Mountain, Again, the **Stutf OMeer”” asserts [the Third corps never had a solilier on the Roundtop. se trae enough for Ward's brigade, and Lunt orp) was posted on the J.ittle Smith's battery ee EET ‘This is a Roundtop, adjoini mere quibble, and uaworts.s.5 cravity of the subject. 1 reassert that it was nearl, before the Fifth corps reached WE Set he i ig Roundtop; but it required all this time to march the dre" gce. The des- porate valor of the troops of this corps in dev pepe’ position not only covers them with honor, bis 44. glory on the army and the country. Three acoompiley ofticers—V incent, Weed and Hazlett, of the Fifth corps - consecrated the spot by their heroic deaths. With a view to misicad the public, the ‘Stall Officer’ coolly asserts that Barnes’ division, of the Filth corps, was posted in front of a portion of Sickles’ corps; but, forgetting this, he soon afterwards states that “ the loft of the Third corps (Sickles’) was far in advance of the Roundtop,” occupied by the Fifth corps, ‘This is a Indicrous contradiction I will not dweil on; nor ig it neces#ary to waste time on the blunders of the *Statf Otficer.”” A third letter, and a long one, has appeared ia your coluroas, signed James Barnes, Brigadier General, United States Volumteers, commanding First division, Fifth corpa, at the battle of Gettysburg,’’ which denies in ob- streperons language the unpleagant charge | felt myself obliged to make in my first letter. [ narrated that Barnes’ division suddenly fell back and left a gap in the tine of battle, and that Gen. Birney, by desire of Gen. “ickles, remonstrated at his conduct, but that Barnes re- fused to return to bis position, I further declared thas Zooks brigade, which camo up gallantly to sup. ply the defection of Karnes, marched over his troops, who were ordered to lie down for this par pose. As General Barnes denies all this roundly, under hie own signature, it is proper [ should give the names of those who cheerfully come forward to corroborate in every point the facts I stated, 1 rofer General Barves, first, to the letter of General do Trobriand, in the Henan of Marc , whore be states that a portion of Barnes’ di- vision fell back and took position in his rear, and that in spite of bis remonstrances they finally withdrew alto gother, without being engaged. This confirms wha | alleged; but [have moro positive testimony in a private Jotter from Geueral Birney, which ho will not object, I When he saw Barces withdraw ing his troops before they nad received a shot, he remon etrited at Barnes’ leaving a dangerous yap in his line, as weilag abaadoning ® good position. It was of no ava) for Barnes retired. f copy the following trom General Birney’s le tter:— Ho (Barnes) moved to the rear from three to four | huodred yards, and formed in rear of the road whieh passed from the Emmettsburg road to the Ronndtop. Woon Zook’a brigade, the first one brought to mo, came uy, Harnos’ troops (boing i the way) wero, at my re quest, ordered to Ne down, and tho brigade from tho second corp@ passed over their prostrate bodies into the figh!, onder my command, relieving de Trobriand’s left. A portion of there troops of Barnes’ were atterwards detachod aol fought splecditly under another commander. 1 mentioned the conduct of Geveral Barnes to his corps commander, General Sykes, aud also to General Sedg- ck, (oat Diqht, after the council; and Sykes told me tha: Co! nol Sweitver, who commanded one of Barges’ pricates, bad reported the same thing. Jnis extract Must be regarded as conctusive. In final conirmation, I may add that Genera! Barnes was relieved of his command after tho bat- tle, and now has been redoced from the com man of & division to nm brigade. 1 regret to place Genbral Barnes (9 so mortifying a position; but it le well that both officers and soldiers should know that tho eyo of the country follows them to (he battle fold, and that while it *parkles with joy at thelr heroin tie dimined with sorrow at the want of ft fine defy wy three assailants 20 depy thas the invincible re sistance of the Third verge, ander Hi¢kies, to the deter- mined tank attack of Longstreet, unth the reinforcements arrived, saved the army {rom imminent danger; and no better proof of thie ty wanted than thas it finally took the united etlorts of the Third, Fifth and four brigades of the Second corps to defeat this grand manwuyre of the onemy ,and tho resnit was still doubtfal until the reserve (the #ixth cory), under General Sedgwick, came up. It ig only due to myself to say that my narrative of the battle of Gettyeburg, published on the 12th uit , will be fully #ugtasoed by tho concurrent testimony of all the generals who baye reventiy apreared before the Com- mittee on tho Conduct of tuo War. Tho evidence of Gen. Batterfleld, Chiet of Staff to General Meade, is known to be so ruinous to the reputation of the commardor of the Army of the otomac that jt will be a singular maiferenco to public opinion on the part of the government if be Is al Jowed to remain looyer in that inportant post. It hae been most conclusively proved that nothing was easier than to force Lee’s whole army to an unconditional surrender at Williamsport, where be was withont eimemunition or subsistence, avd ihe swt Jom. ¢ preventing bis escape. It was stated that our army was #0 humilinted at the yaclllation and timidity of General Meade on this occasion that many of them shed tears and talked of throwing down (heir arms. Yet General Meade still commands thia noble army, and not only that, bat be bas lately ventured to break up, under shallow pretexts, two of its finest corps and dismiss some of its most heroic officers—Pieaganton, Sykes and others, It will be an the War to ascertain by whose influence General Meade exercises such arbitrary power, This vital and danger ous act was carried out without any consultation with General Grant; avd may we not hope that, for bis own sake and the country’s sake, ho will wield the authority which belongs to bim, else the worst 1a to be feared.

STATE AND NATIONAL DANKS, Seldom ig @ more exciting scene witnessed in the Logix lative halls than that which transpired yesterday ever the report of the Committees on Banks. About ove third of it was read, when a motion was made to sy reading, under charges of disloyalty, treason manner of accusations against the report, wonld bave imagined, from the commotion that it caused, that Jef Davis had walked into the Assembly, and that the patriots there were howling for the purpose of trying to frighton him out, Then came a desperate effort to | emother the report and prevent it from being printed. Assertions were made that the New York papers would not be allowed to publish it. The efforts to smother it failed, by a voto of thirty to sixty-two, The Spewker, however, coutrary to the usual custom, referred tho report to the Committee on Printing, when the cnstem, and, in fact, the rules, require that reports ehal) be laid on the table and printed ‘Tho presentation of the report was like a bombsbe!l among the republicans. From the developments and dis cussions over it in private it is apparent that it will prove a monster wedge in the party, and of sullicrent im- portance to split it in two. Already the different mem- hers of the party are quarreling over it with a bitternesr that shows no mercy and no spirit of compromise. Tiree republicans signed the report, and it is useless to ery die ‘Their record is beyond quertion, and they publicly defy their party friends, and even the Tribune, to raise that charge against them. We have bad only the first chapter in this drama. It bas been, in its demonstration thus far, somewhat com) ttle on the war-dance order. The public need net be sur prised to learn that the second scene in this drams will be of the tragic order. ‘The reve of Mr. Bryant relative to amending tbe cope tution to abolish slavery opened the bali, and started the division in the republican ranks. The report of the Bank Committee has struck a little deeper, and the storm is now raging ip all its fury. Curses loud and deep are heard on both sides. Let us see who has the nerve to stand up. There is no longer room for woak- kneed mon, All such had better stand from wider. ‘There is one ake in the report as pubiished in to- day’s IIrrsrn. The following language is need — With a paper circulation of an untold amonnt, worth only thirty ‘ents on the dollar in comporison with the unive: tan dard value.” It should read “worth only sixty cents on the doliar.”” This error arose in transeribing the report, and was not noticed in time to correct it. SOLDIERK’ VOTING. The select committee anpointed a few days since to per- fect the Soldiers’ Voting bill reported thie morn ing. It provides that solliers may seod by mail to the inspectors of election, at any time within sixty days previous to the general or special election in the State, their votes, wrapped un in power of attorney, placed in an envelope, on the cutside of which shail be printed the oath required of all voter: this in torn tobe placed in another cnvelope, whi shult bo sealed, and the Post Office Stamp ECCwary tor its transmission through the mails placed on the sea) of the envelope. Such is the programme as reported by a majority of the committee. The question of sending the votes by mail agitates ail parties bere. It ie reported that Governor Seymour's letters have been tampered with in the mails. Letter after letter has been opened and bunglingly sealed up in, In some of the let- ters those who have opened them have written black: guard expressions If, then, the partisan Post Office officials will open letters sont to the Governor of the State, how much more js it probable that they will tamper with the votes of the soldiers. and change the ballots if thay do not suit. This enblect Is likely to prove a more serious matter then anticipated, and is, in a measure, considerable of ahumbug. The party politicians have been using it asa party claptrap te get political capital, All hands are jikely to be bitten by SALARIFS OF THE POLICE.

That is a likely story,’ remarked Captain Welsh. “/f the sea was so rough as to prevent you from communicating with a ves sel in the ofling, how was it not too rough for you to land on that beach? Remember, yon are talking to a sajlor, and you cannot humbag ime.” Captain Welsh, who seems determined to do his whole duty to his con- stituents, was very indignant. and makes no secret of his indignation. Whoever he catches tripping in the wreck ing business, whether as principsls or as accessories, must expert no mercy at his bande. ‘ The army tng Exact left here this morning for New Orleans, with a number of refugees from Florida on board.
