At this moment, the position of the Southern Con- federacy was one of extreme peril. Nearly all the de- fenders of Richmond had been sent to join Lee in his invasion of the North ; and the naked condition of the Confederate capital, and of the country surrounding it, became known to the Federal Government. Meade's army was within a few miles of Gettysburg on June 30. A little to the north, but moving in the same direction, was Lee's army. Meade ascertained the proximity of his adversaries in th...e course of that day, and, pushing forward with celerity, entered Gettys- burg on the morning of July I. In the meanwhile the Confederates continued their advance, and at ten A. m. one of their divisions became engaged with Reynold's corps on the western side of the town, a little beyond a line of hills called Oak Ridge. Reynolds rode forward to superintend his troops in person, but was im- mediately killed by a rifle-bullet. The command of the corps then devolved on General Doubleday, who was enabled to bring three divisions into action ; yet the Confederates were not checked.
