Events of Their Celebration on the Battlefield.

General Sickles, Gordon and Hooker and Gov. Beaver Addresses the Veterans. 

GETTYSBURG, Pa, July 1. – All day the trains have been arriving until the streets are filled with a mass of humanity, and boarding and lodging are at the highest possible premium. The Ninth New York militia came at 8 o'clock, marched at once to their headquarters on the lawn before the Spring hotel, here 250 tents had been pitched for them. The members of the New York Excelsior brigade, which will dedicate its monument here to-morrow, arrived a little later and the veteran corps from Washington came at about 12 o'clock. At half past 10 o'clock the veterans formed and led by the Frankford band marched across the road to the National cemetery and on through this to the vine clad rostrum where religious services were held. The scene was very impressive and when Chaplain Sayres had finished his sermon, more than a thousand voices joined in singing "America" In the evening the usual dress parade was observed and it recalled most vividly the scenes of the battle. Immediately after the parade a sacred song service was held and the band gave the usual evening concert. The camp presents a charming appearance to-night with the numerous electric lights brilliantly illuminating it, and the little knots of veterans gathered before each tent discussing the great conflict and the part they played in it…

GETTYSBURG, July 2. – The second day of the reunion opened clear and beautiful. No cloud menaced the enjoyment of the visitors and the terrible battle of twentyfive years ago was on the lips of everyone. Trains with thousands of passengers rolled into the town, and the great crowd has grown larger until the place is filled fuller than at any time since the memorable days of 1863. At 10 o'clock the five regiments of Green's brigade, the 78th, 102d, 60th, 137th, and 149th, New York, dedicated their monuments on Culp's Hill and immediately afterwar a reunion of the brigade was held. Maj. Gen. Henry W. Slocum, who commanded the right of the Federal line during the battle, and Brigadier General George S. Greene, the brigade commander, made addresses…
