The secretary of war has received a preliminary report from Mv, llntehelder, of thu '"Gettysburg HatUo-llold commission," in which he says: "In view of the pressing emergency which seems to require the prompt action of the j,'overninont (if the secretary of war is to 'preserve the lines of battle at Gettysburg'), and in the absence of my col leagues on the commission, I hasten to make a preliminary report of the present condition of alVairsat that place. "I have just conic from Gettysburg. He fore 1 left there Mr. lloiTner, ptvM. dent of the electric railroad, entered into an agreement with mo to suspend operations on (hat portion of the line in front of the second army corps and to turn his road oil" that line to tlm I l.minitslmrg road. Having made that 1 arrangement 1 started for my home in I Massachusetts, but noticing in to-day's papers that he had resumed operai tWms on that line, and realizing j the cunrnmus dam ige that he is doing on the Held, und at the earnest request of Gen. Sickels, 1 have deemed it wise , to turn back from New York and report at once and in person to the .secI rotary. When I left Gettysburg workmen were engaged in blasting out a I group of boulders covering a spice 7" l by -Ja feet, which formed a portion of I the defenses in front of the left of tho i Third army corps during the second - day's battle. "This seemed a wanton destruction of an important landmark of the Held. ' A variation of a dozen feet in the Due, , which there was ample chance tomake, ; would have cleared those boulders, but it is evident that they were being blasted to make material for the road, ' which is swampy at that point. The boulders which covered the combatants in the desperate engagement between i the Fourth Maine and the Fortieth j New York of the union army, and the Forty-fourth Alabama, and the right of , llenuing's brigade of tho confederate army nre already blasted, and the fragments broken under the hammer arc covered with earth to form a roadbed. ; And it is hi this loc ility. which has ( been turned into a park, to which cheap j excursions are to be run from Italtimore i and other cities. This is the most wild ; and picttircs'iue part of the Held, For I a distance of over one mile bofore reaching this locality tho I road cuts ruthlessly through a I scone of some of the most desperat ' encounters of the battle in which De ' TrohriandV. Tilton's, Swcit.er's, Zook's, Kellys,('ro.s' and Ward's union i brigades and lusrshaw's, Senunes', Wolford's, Anderson's nnd Robertson's cm federate brigades contended for j hours. The. railway cuts straight ; through lines of battle; forest trees ait' leveled, bowlders and ledges ans blasted, streams are bridged and the j whole character of the Held ischangciV, i and every hour thc work of devastation 1 goes on. "After leaving the "Devil's Den" and ; the "Valley of Death" the road will climb around the western or northern face of "Little Hound Top." disfigur ing its slopes by cuts and lills of from eight to ten feet. Reaching the summit it will descend the eastern slope to thc dance house. "Thin entire route through a ravine near the wheat Held and around thu "Dovil'.s Don," up through the "Valley of Death," a distance of about 2 miles, may be avoided by a cut oil" of about a half mile over the wheat-Held road, and if a right of way of fifty rods can be secured from the land syndicate, tho cut over "Little Hound Top" may bo avoided. Work is about to be commenced on "Little Hound Top." From the dance-house the electric road follow the route of the Heading branch railroad toward station, when it :uT'W.s the line nurd's Vermont murked position town to Hancock turns to the right of battle of Stanbrigade, over the of Weir's battery ((', Fifth artillery) to Hancock avenue, immediately in front of the Second army corps, along which it passes over the advanced, positions of thirtv-eight-confedernfo regiments which comprised Longstreet's assault on the third day and buries beneath its track the spot where Gen. CJarnctt was killed. "1 spent several days with Mr. II offer and hifi friends negotiating with him to abandon this Second corps line ion which he contemplates the erection of n station forty feet long in front of the Second corps' portion) for tho brauch railroad and ICmmitsburg road, itut he has since repudiated his agreement and resumed operations on that front. From the right of the Second corps the road turns back to the Taneytown road, down which it runs to tho southwest corner of thc national eenwtery, where, turning into the field to the left, it passed around tho cemetery to the Haltiiuore turnpike, on which it j returns to town, passing the cemetery ' gates. The damage already committed by the electric road is very great and can 1 never be repaired, but the present ' desecration is but the commencement ! of what my be done if this company i allowed to invade old sections of tho I battlefield. Is it not preferable t Inn Hits WM lit im (lout rlli't inll of OtlO of the most important historical spots i this country, until (he government can decide, its duty and its powers?" A Juenr Verdict.
