Washington, Mny 27. ' We were all sure that Gen, Butler had oome to make oi a little visit. A dozen men told mo tlmt he wn sorely corpitig, and if I mistake . not the Evening Republican stated that he vaa to arrive "this evening," and bad nlreadv engaged rooms at Williards' 1 Tbe Chronicle Went a little further and aunounoed the actual arrival of Qun. Butler. Of ooirte, this nai enough to set all the newspaper writers agoing, and some of them went so far aa to speculate very freely upon Butler's business here. It was a little cruel just at this juncture for the Lowell papers to oome out with a statement that Oen. Butler had not left the towu I Yet they havo had the elfotitry to make moh a statement, and it ia too truo that Gen. Butler baa not been invited to come to Washington by the President, or Gen. llulleok, or Beerotary Stantou. I am sorry it ia not true. General Butler ought to have employment ho ia pre cisely the man for titiice like these but it it easy to ace where the trouble ia the President and Mr, Seward are afraid of him, and do not like bia style of doing things. Mr. Stanton likes tho stylo well enough, but is perhaps afraid of the man. Seward thinks that Butler ia reckless, and fears that be will get the ad ministration into a sorape. It is impossible, however, that Butler should do a bolder aot than that of Buruside in the arrest of Yallttn dighnm, or one tnoro fraught with danger to the administration or the republican party. The President always was very good iu stand ing by friends when he had once got committed. He is nut easily frightened off, though it is sometimes very hard to get him to espouse the cause of a new man, or to take np a new poli cy. Ho stands by Burnsido, it la said, though lie may not fully approve of his proceedings. Sutler could be usefully employed at the West if not in the field, at least, as the commander of a department consisting oi loyal Statea. The Vullandlghnm Matter. The excitement over the arrest of Vallon digham seems to liavo subsided. Gen. Burn ride is triumphant, and so is the government for the nresent. No Inval man for one mmm-nt doubts that he deserved the ecutoncv, nur that Burnsido was endeavoring to do the best thing to put down Iho disloyal manifestation in Ohio. liitt the oiitectton ol lute course, which boa not aud can not be answered, is that it openly vio lated a law of the land, and a law not three months' old, passed purposely to meet Just such cases. . There is no use for a Congress here after, for our generals violate at will tho laws passed by Congress. A step further, and they , will assess contributions on Iho people, and then Congress will be relieved of tho trouble of passing tax-bills. Now it is all safe enoagli with eo gentle a man as Mr. Lincoln nt the head of the army, but supposo hereafter an ambitious and despotio man should gain com mand of tbe army of the Potomac and should take it into bia bead that bis military necessi ties required disobedience of the orders of his sgperiors in Washington what then T As lien, liurnside disobeys the Congress, so a MoClellan or a Hooker may disobey tho Presi dent. And if ht has the-physical potter to defy Washington, he will be justified as Burn side is because he can. Por one, I dissent from this despotic doctrine, which is popular among so many good republicans just now. Wait and see the result hereafter. Wait and sue if a deuioorutio President and a demncratio general are not ready to make use of tho pre cedent ngniust our liberties. On this question the government is wrong, but the act is in the past, and cannot be recalled. No man will condeinu a general or an administration for a single blunder, perpetrated in a tealotis attempt 10 urusu incipient treason in tne iree anil loyal States. Washington Gir. Springfield Ilepub- can, ACCOUNT OF TH K BATTLE OR FRIDAY, JILT -A (iKAPUHJ UESIUIPIIO.N. r Washington, July 8. From tbe New York papers received this morning, we condense the following account of the battle of Friday, July 3d : i ro popular Uescnptiou ol tbe ground held by our forces on the morning of that day would be to say it was in the form of an elongated and somewhat sharpened horseshoe, with Get tysburg heel to tho South. Tho bottle com menced at daylight on the east side ol the horseshoe position, opposite to that which Kn ell had won. Tho crush of musketry preceded the rising of the sun. A thick wood vailed this light, but out of iu leafy darkness arose the smoke aud surging swelling of fire, from the intermittent to the continuous aud crashing, told of the wise taction of the rebels of attack ing in forcu aud changing their troops. Seem ingly the attuck of the day whs to be made through that wood. This demonstration nai protruded, hut was only preparative. There was no artillery lire accompanying the mus ketry. Suddeuly, about 10 in the forenoon, the firing on the east side and every where about the liues ceased. A silence aa ol a deep sleep fell ou the field of battle, during which the rebels moved their artillery to tho number of one huudrcd uud twenty pieces, and massed tne troops oi lougstreet a and llill i corps iu front of oar center. About 2 in the afternoon, the rebels opened on oar center with all their artillery. Every size and form of ahell known to Uritish and American gunnery, shrieked, wuiled, moaned aud wrathful!)- fluttered over our grouud, as many as six in a second, bursting and screaming over aud around, muking a very bell of fire, which aiuued the oldest officers. They burst in the yard next to the fence on both sides, garnished as usual with tho bitched horse of the aids and orderlies. Tbe fastened animals reared and plunged with terror. Six teen were killed belure the fire ceased. The shell tore op a little step of the beadqnnrters' cottage. 'Auother carried off oue of it two pillars, uud tbe other followed almost iioinedi atelr, carried away by shot from a Wbitworth guu. ' The spherical iron burst opposite the open door. Another ripped throngli the luff garret Furty minutes passed and the air grew intcKur, ana me uownug aud wuirlmg ol the infernal missiles grew more deafeuing. Not an orderly, auibulauca or straggler wa to be seen npou the plain swept by this tempest of orchestral death, tweuly ruiuutes after it com menced. At the expiration of an hour this ceased, aud Hill's corps, in line of battle.moved forward at tbe double quick. Ixiugstreet fol lowed In supporting distance. The position of nur ccuter where the Second Corps, under Oenerai linucoca. was posted, was very strung one portion resting on the crest of Cemetery Hill, protected in Irout by breast work of rail taken from neighboring lartns, and on the right by a stooe wall. 1 he rebels rushed in perfect order across tbe open field up to the Terr mut- iics oi me guns, wnicn tor a lane through them i a they came ; but they met men who were their equals iu spirit and their superiors in tenacity. Never was better fighting seen since Tbrrmnpylre than as done that day by our infantry aud artillery. The rebels carried our ueleosM, cleared the cannnnevrs and horse from one of our gans, and were whirling it around to nro open oa, when a bayonet charge drove them back. At ono time It was found that tho ammunition of every battery upon tbe principal eret attacked was exhausted, and tlirv were silent, except Crowro's. His ser vice of grape aud canister were awful. . It en abled oar line, outnumbered as it was two to one, first to neat tne reiicls back and tlien ohargo npon them, tcking a great number of prisoners, rrevioss 10 mis, so lerrinie was our musketry and artillery Are, that, when the reb el Armistoad'e brigade was checked in it charge and stood reeling, all its men dropped their muskets and crawled on hands and knees underneath the stream, closo to our troops, where they made signs of surrendering. They passed through our ranks scarcely noticed, and slowly went down the slope to the road. The rebels wore renuiseu ; out tnuy renewed tne assault half a dozen timea during the afternoon and were as often repulsed and driven back with a loss unparalled in any previous battle, At the end of two hours the rebel artillery opened a now storm of shot and shell, under cover ol wnicu tneir inianiry rotreateu in wua disorder from one position and then from another, throwing away everything that might ( I I .I..

The field was aprosd with evidences of tbe great punishment the enemy had re ceived. Whore ever our burying parlies found one national soldier to Inter, two rebels were found lying by his side. Tho repulse of the rebels was followed by loud shout from our troops; Fifteen etand of colors were captured by Hanonok'i eorpa. A gentleman who left Gettysburg at 10 o'elk on Sunday morning (July Sth), furnishes the followng t Our army advanced six milea be yond that place. There had been but little lighting. An occasional report indicated skir mishing nn Saturday (July 4th), but nothing of great importance. Ou Saturday, tbe 4t.Ii. our scouts discovered the rebel baggage trains on the retreat, moving rapidly along the Hngerstown road, when a battery of firing artillery, led by a squadron of Plensantou's cavalry, was sent from the left of Cemetery Hill, in pursuit. Our men dashed rapidly down on the train. A skirmish ensued and the rebel guard was driven off. Reports reached camp that four miles of trains were captured. All the barns and booses ucljaecnt to the Llttletown Pike laid under contribution for hospital puposcs. Gen. Hancock was re- farded ns the great hero of Friday's battle. lis corps fought nobly and lost heavily. When tho General fell severely wounded, the effect on his men was to give them renewed determ ination to conquer, and when they learned that their wounded commander was still watching them and directing their movements, they lougnt like demons.
