Pender, consisting of Lane's and Scales's North Carolina brigades, McGowan's South Carolina bried in line of battle as follows: Perrin and Scales on the right, and Lane and Thomas on the left of the turnpike. In this order, with a stronclock, the enemy having made a strong demonstration on the right, Gen. Lane was sent to the extreme right, and Gen. Thomas closed upon the leously engaged with the enemy.--About 4 o'clock the three brigades of Lane, Scales, and Perrin, were ordered by Major Gen. Pender to advance aning some four or five preceding hours, that division had passed. Gen. Lane, on the extreme right, was much annoyed by a heavy force of dismo finding himself without support either on his right or his left, Gen.

ily moved on, fighting as it went, and during the whole way under a perfect storm of shot and shell. Pettigrew's men now became engaged with a large body of the enemy, and fought with a courage worthy of their gallant leader. The 11th North Carolina, Col. Leventhorp, and the 26th, Col. Bergwyn, displayed conspicuous gallantry. The 26th, indeed, lost more than half its numbers; among them Col. Bergwyn being killed, and Lieut.-Col. Lane being severely wounded. The 11th also lost its Major, (Ross,) who was killed, whilst Col. Leventhorp was severely wounded. Brockenbrough's gallant Virginians were no idle spectators in these bloody scenes — they were emphatically heroes in the strife. Fighting with their usual gallantry and dash, they bore down every opposing foe, capturing two stands of colors and a number of prisoners. This division had now broken through and driven back two lines of the enemy, when it was found that most of the brigades were without ammunition. The division of

larly severe. Every field officer was either killed or wounded. Brig. Gen. Senter and his only Captain (Riddick) were both disabled by severe wounds. The brigade halted for a moment to return the enemy's fire, now very severe, and whilst halted was thrown into some confusion. Major-Gen. Pender, with a part of his staff, and Brig.-Gen. Scales, though suffering very much from a severe wound in the leg, soon rallied the brigade, which again pushed on to the charge, under command of Lieut. Colonel Gordon, 34th regiment N. C. T., driving the enemy through and beyond the town of Gettysburg. The troops of this division which had been sent into town to gather up prisoners were now withdrawn, and the whole division was formed in line along the ridge opposite the town and Cemetery Hill, the left resting on the Fairfield road.--And thus ended the first day's fight at Gettysburg — the most successful to the Southern cause, by far, of the three day's carnival of blood, which will ever make m

-And thus ended the first day's fight at Gettysburg — the most successful to the Southern cause, by far, of the three day's carnival of blood, which will ever make memorable the time, the place, and the actors. Much blood had been shed with the going down of this day's sun, but more was yet to be spilled before the butchery was complete or the slaughter was ended. On the second day's engagement, I will speak in my next. It will be observed that thus far the "war horse" of this army, Longstreet, had not been engaged. The second day's engagement will introduce him upon the stage, and truly may he say of himself, when speaking of these mighty scenes of blood, "Quorum magna pare fat." Before closing, let me say that the night of the first of July was no idle one in the enemy's camp. On the contrary, they worked and when daylight came, verily the fruits of their labors clearly discernible in the fortifications which they had reared, and which proved thereafter such impassible an

orted, it was said, by a considerable body of infantry. Under these circumstances, Gen. P. did not attempt to enter the town, but returned to camp near Cashtown. On the morning of the 1st of July, Heth's division of infantry, accompanied by Pegram's battalion of artillery, broke up camp near Caslitown, and at 5 A. M. began to move in the direction of Gettysburg by the turn-pike road. As the division neared Gettysburg it became evident that the enemy was in the vicinity of the town in somekept up a severe and continuous enfilade fire. This so much delayed him in his advance that he was unable to attack the enemy, except a small force of them, which he dislodged from a skirt of woods; the same that was occupied the next day by Pegram's battalion of artillery. Perrin, after passing Heth's division, reformed his brigade in a ravine and moved rapidly forward. Upon ascending a hill in front of this ravine, the brigade received a deadly fire of musketry and artillery, posted beh

It was this Lieutenant Roberts, of the 2d Mississippi, observing some distance off but neaer the enemy's than our own fires, two groups, each consisting of from seven to ten men, and each guarding a stand of colors, called for volunteers to take them. Four gallant spirnt readily responded, and soon a dash is made for the colors. A hand-to-hand fight ensued, in which all on both sides were either killed or wounded except private McPherson, who killed the last Yankee color-bearer and brought off the colors, Lieut. Roberts being killed just as he was seizing one of the colors. On the right of the road Archer encountered heavy masses of the enemy on his front, and his gallant brigade, alter being surrounded by overwhelming numbers in front and on both flank

Heth being wounded in the afternoon in the head by a shell, the command from that time until the division went out of action devolved upon Brig.-Gen. Pettigrew, who handled his men with great skill and ability. The light division of Major-Gen. W. D.
