TES NEWS,
We give the news as far as received.
There are many rumors we do not
give—some may be true, but a major
ity will turn out to be false. The news
from Chambtereburg is heart-sickening.
CALLING Or THE LEGIELATURE.—Gov.
Curtin has issued his proclamation,
calling on the Legislature to meet 9th
of-August, inst. This is earlier than
the Legislature adjourn to, but tho
object is to provide for the better pro
tection of the State from invasion.
The members of the•last and previous
•
res should be impressed into
the service; and be made boot-blacks
to the high privates for criminally
neglecting to pass a . law giving 'the
governor the means to protect the
State against. the destructive raids of
the rebels.
LATEST NEWS.
From Gen. Sherman.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 29
Gen. Sherman's army was again put
in motion yesterday to accomplish an
important operation looking to an ear
ly investment of Atlanta. The enemy
yesterday attempted to interrupt the
movement by attacking the 15th corps
but were badly repulsed. During the
contest we took from the rebels four
or six regimental flags.
There are no other details that can
be made public; but the public may
rest assured that everything has been
successful.
WASHINGTON, July 31.
Information from Gen. Sherman's
army represents affairs to be in the
highest degree satisfactory. Our move
ments for the past day or so have
met with no opposition from the ene
my, but they crouch behind their for
tifications, thus evidently showing
'hey are afraid of the artillery of Gen.
Sherman.

2 o'clock, p. m.—lt is now positive
ly stated that the force of rebels which
entered and destroyed Chambersbnrg,
amounted to but three companies,
numbering in the aggregate only 208
men. When they_putered the town,

THE REBEL INVASION
The Destruction of Chambersburg.
From the Harrisburg Telegraph
Sunday, July Olst 11 o'clock, A. If.
Gen. McCausland, it now appears
certhin, was in command Of the rebel
troops when they burned Chambers
burg. It will be remembered that
McCausland fired Greencastle when
the rebels made their great raid a
year ago, and that he levied an exor
bitant tax upon the people of Hagers
town,
a few weeks since. He is ades
perato, ferocious, and unrelenting free
booter, ready at any time to violate
the usages of honorable warfare in or
der to gratify his dark and malignant
passions.
The burning of Chambersburg is de
scribed by fugitives, who reached Har
risburg Saturday night, as having
been terrific and horrible in the ex
treme. After McCausland had taken
formal pbssession of the town he made
I;roclamation to the citizens demand
ing one hundred thousand dollars in
gold. It was of course impossible to
comply with such a demand—a de.
mand no doubt made confident of its
failure and sure of it . affording a •pre
text to execute the premeditated plan
for destroying Chambersburg. The
fact that the most valuable portion of
the merchandise of the town ht4sng
been removed added to the rage and
disappointment of the rebels, and when
thus inspired tho order was issued to
fire the court house, town hall and
bank building. A strong breeze pre
vailing at the time, soon communica
ted the flames to surrounding build
ings. Parties of soldiers having sack
ed several drug and chemical stores
had manufactured turpentine balls,
which they threw in all directions,
thus creating as many different flames
in different localities . of the town,
which soon united in ono general, ter
rific and devouring conflagration.
Speedily the scene became heart
rending and appalling—the crackling
and roaring of the flames as they lea
ped from house to house---,the shrieks
of the terrified women—the cries of
panic-stricken and suffering children
—the pitiful appeals of the old and
helpless, as they wore heard above
the noise of the conflagration only
served to elicit the scorn and derision
of the base wretches who came thee
to sack and destroy the town. Every
where families wore rushing from dear
homes to find safety in the desolated
fields around Chambersburg. Wo
men could bo seen wildly seeking for
children that were lost while children
anon were weeping for parents who
could not be found. A gentleman
who communicates these brief facts
says that tho history of modern war
fare contains nothing to equal the
atrocity and unprovoked barbarity of
this burning of Chambersburg. The
invaders had entered without resis
tance—the citizens unprotesting had
submitted to their plunder—had even,
as it wore, appealed to their magnan
imity, but nothing could appease the
butcher incendiary McCausland. He
ordered the torch to bo applied, and
has now a monument of ashes added
to his infamy as a thief and a traitor.
Retribution will lurk in his 'path as
the tiger watches in his lair for his vic
tim.
There is no doubt that the dostrue•
tion of Chambersburg is most com
plete, and that two hundred and sixty
five of its most valuable and prominent
public and private buildings have been
destroyed. It will require at least a
quarter of a century to repair the
damages which the rebels perpetrated
in little less than four hours. They
fired the town as near as can now be
ascertained at 1.1 o'clock A. M. They
remained just long enough to see the
flames spread, and get a proper head
way. When the alarm was given that
Averil was approaching the town ; in
stantly every freebooter was in his
saddle, and the incendiaries hurriedly
took the St. Thomas road, with Aver
ill in pursuit.
No intelligence has reached this
city concerning the direct effect of
Averill's attack. It is believed, how
ever, that he succeeded in punishing
Mcdausland very severely.
A train heavily ladoned with--com
missary stores ; Was dispatched from
this city this morning, for the vicinity
of Chambersburg, in order .to relieve
the present wants of the houseless•wo
men and children of that town, who
now crowd the fields and woods of the
suburbs.
A rebel major (supposed to be Ma
jor Henry Gilmore) was arrested while
in the act of firing and plundering a
widow's house. Two citizens obser
ving the villain at his work, at once
took charge of him, and while convey
ing him off, were compelled to shoot
him. Ho fell, but did not immediate
ly expire, when the infuriated citizens
trampled the beast to death.
As far as we could learn, two wo
men and one child wore destroyed du
ring the fire. Doubtless others per
ished, but up to this writing, we have
heard only of these deaths.
6 o'clock, p. m.—The retreat of the
rebels over the St. Thomas road, was
hotly followed by Gen. Averill, and
notwithstanding his men and horses
were almost broken down and worn
out, pursuit was maintained with all
the vigor of fresh troops just coming
into action. When Averil and his
troops reached Chamborsburg, the
fire had gained such headway that no
effort on their part could have saved
the town. Hence, the word' Onward!'
rung along the line—and onward it
was, such a ride as no set of men,ever
before had. When the rebels reached
MeConnellsburg they had neither time
to levy a contribution, light a torch,
or kindle a fire. Averil came thun
dering after them, he entering at one
end of neConnellsburg, while the in.
vadcrs left at the other.
There is no doubt, in the minds of
our shrewdest military men, that the
robs, after having fired and robbed
Chamborsburg, and after having rav
aged the Cumberland Valley as far as
their operations could extend, had in
view a dash at and sudden surprise
of the guests at Bedford Springs.
That celebrated watering place is the
resort of the leading copperheads, who,
it is fairly believed, are constantly in
correspondence with the rebel chiefs.
During the past ten days, many and
distinguished Union men were also at
the Springs ; prominent among whom
was Gov. Curtin. his Excellency
constitutes a glittering prime to the
sight Of the robs, and doubtless
Davis would delight to have a live
Governor of a great and loyal State, to
adorn one of the foul corners of Libby.
Whatever was the object of the inva
ders,-they were too late to have sue
ceeded in this purposo„ as Gov. Cur
tin left Bedford Springs on Friday
night, and was in . Harrisburg early
on Saturday.
9 o'clock p. m.—A heavy gust rose
in the West about eight o'clock, which
put an end to telegraphing up to this
hour. It was rumored in official cir
cles that the rebels had succeeded in
reaching Hancock, on the Upper Po
tomac, where thc,y would, of course,
affect a creasing. Whether this be so
or not, it is at least confidently believ
ed that the column of rebels which .
moved in three - divisions from Wil
liamsportlast week, has left our State.
Aside from their hellish work at Cham
bersburg, the extent of the damage
perpetrated by the invaders cannot
be fully known until we can hear mbre
definitely from the district of country
over which they passed.
The manner in which Averil pursu
ed and punished the rebels as far as—
and oven beyond AlcConnelsburg, al
most renders it certain that Weans
land has left the State, fearful no doubt
that there were other forces on his
track, and that after the burning of
Chambersburg, his greatest safety
would be in immediate hasty retreat.
The Cumberland Valley railroad
was open to Chambersburg all day
yesterday, and several trains Which
left this depot with supplies for the
suffering people or that ill-fated locali
ty, reached there in safety.
"Shall the Republic still live ?"
Hon. John Cessna, of Bedford, Pa.,
delivered a lecture before the Alumni
Association of Franklin and Marshall
College, at Lancaster, on Tuesday
evening last. His subject. was, "Shall
the Republic still live." Mr. Cessna
has been a prominent and leading De
mocrat, and wo are glad to learn that
ho is truo in the fair the still. The
following extracts from:his speech will
be read with pleasure :
'The great mass of the people of all
parties aro honest at heart and mean
to do that which they think will best
promote the welfare and prosperity
cf the country. But it is not always
so with party leaders. Some of these
at least, are unscrupulous. So com
pletely do they become embittered
against each other that they would
sacrifice almost anything, not excep
ting the cause of country and of truth
in order to secure their own triumph
and tlio overthrow of their political
adversaries.
These are the most efficient emissa
ries of the rebellion and vastly more
serviceable to its leaders than an equal
number of armed mon in the ranks of
the country's enemies.
In our own midst these emissaries
have been actively at work to aggra
vate the rancor of party spirit-to ar
ray one portion of the people against
the other—to cause dissatisfaction
among the people with the necessary
measures adopted to suppress the re
bellion—to excite the people against
the enforcement of the draft and the
collection of revenue sufficient to car
ry on the war. Our people aro taught
to favor peuce—compromise—an ar
mistice—any thing except a vigorous
prosecution ot.tha war.
•At ono time this is styled a negro
war—at another a negro has no busi
ness to serve as a soldier. When our
armies aro defeated the Government
is incompetent and inefficient,. or it
would have raised more men. When
volunteers are called they aro oppo
sed to the plan. They want an en
rollment so that all may have an
equal and a fair chance. When the
draft comes it is unfair, unlawful, and
deprives them of their constitutional
rights. The clause of the act allowing
payment of commutation is all wrong
because it discriminates between the
rich and the poor. As soon as it• is re
pealed those same men strive to excite
the anger of the people because it is
another stop towards a military des
potism. All these things do the peo
ple no good, lead only to angry dis
cussions, bitter controversies, numer
ous dissensions, prevent mon from en
listing into the service of their coun
try, have already produced bloody ri
ots, and may culminate in fierce
neighborhood and fireside war. These
dangers are truly great and calcula
ted to dishearten the patriot; but it is
confidently believed that they will all,
sooner or later, be overcome.
There are mortunately those among
us who' cannot discuss the question a
single moment without showing that
they are at heart foes of the govern
ment and enemies of their race.
Tho people soon learn to find Out
and know these mon. Human skill and
ingenuity and all of a traitor's cunning
cannot long succeed in concealing
their real sentiments. They hang
back or slunk away from our public
gatherings on our national holidays;
they disparage Union officers and sol
diers and eulogize the rebels. All
Union victories are insignificant—of
little account; rebel victories are of
incalcuable value and importance.
Good news is never credited—bad
news is often originated, believed and
circulated long before verified. Taxes
aro obnoxious and oppressive; drafts
are unconstitutional and odious; war
is bloody and desolation and the na
tion ought at once to stop it. For
nearly four years everything has been
wrong; nothing excellent nothing even
praiseworthy or passable has over
been done. by their own government
—only mistakes, wrongs, wicked acts
of tyranny, and earnest appeals are
'made to the people to arise in their
might and prevent the establishment
of a military despotism. During all
this time they have never been known
to utter a word of denunciation against
the rebellion, or see an improper act
south of the rebel lines. These aro
the unmistakable ear-marks of the
traitor. Ho may remonstrate : ho
may write down beneath the picture
in large letters the word "Patriot ;"
he may, 'in very noisy and earnest
words, insist that he is a "sound Dem
ocrat," and that every man of his par
ty who sustains the war is an "Aboli
tionist." Yet after all ho is neither a
patriot or a good Democrat. You
may turn him up-side-down and in
side-out, and cleanse and wash him
with all the pure waters of America,
and you can make nothing out of him
but a poor, miserable traitor—just
such a ono as General Jackson would
have strung up for treason in his day
and looked . for the authority after
wards !

WASHINOTON, July 31
Informtalon from the headquarters
of the army of the Potomac, dated
July 80th, says the groat event so long
anticipated, viz : tho explosion of the
mine under the enemy's feet in front
of the 9th Corps, came off this morning
at 4,40.
The picket firing was kept up all
night, and in fact, at the time the
match was applied, the skirmishers
were all engaged on both sides.
The volume of dirt thrown up was
immense and rising over 300 feet in the
air resembled an immense fountain of
dirt or a crater.
The 9th corps at once 'charged the
works, driving the enemy to the sec
ond line arid taking a number of pris
oners, some of whom were dug out of
the dirt, badly bruised. They state
that only about a dozen remain out of
their regiment—a South Carolina one.
As soon as the explosion took place
120 0 guns opened along our front while
the musketry blazed in ono continu
ous line of fire along the front of the
9th - and parts of the sth and 18th
corps.
The scene was ono long to be re
membered, but the • smoke from the
guns soon obscured the view and the
first particulars. of the success was
gleaned from' those who came in with
the prisoners.
The prisoners say they were com
pletely surprised, most of them in the
fort being asleep at the time. They
state there were few guns in the for
tification which, of course, were bur
ied far out of sight.
One prisoner reported that they
were busy mining under our works,
and that in two days more they would
have been ready to blow us up.

A disfatch, dated 7 A. M., says: Re
ports just in state that we have poses
sion of the entire first lino of the rebel
works, with a large number of prison
ers Our loss in the charge was se

field to reach the rebels.
BALTIMORE, July 31.—A1l doubt as
to good news : - seems to be removed.
We have just received by private
hands a later dispatch from home
which says tho _assault commenced at
4 o'clock on Saturday morning, by a
terrific explosion which completely
destroyed ono of OM enemy's princi

ing sixteen guns.
Immediately upon this explosion
our artillery opened with ono simulta-

leaving of the mail boat-10 o'clock—
we had captured two other earth
works, and also the entire outer line
of intrenchments.
The battle 'was progressing with

LYNNVILLE, TENN.
Detachment 7th P. V. V. C
July 15th, 1864.
Dear Globe:—Not having much of
importance to communicate to you, I
will givo you a brief synopsis of the
country, crops, and political fooling of
the inhabitants.
The crops yielded largely this sea
son, those that have arrived, to matu
rity. Wheat, rye and oats, are all
cut, • and ready for thrashing. In
about two,.weeks we will have roast
inn ears in abundance. Potatoes are
plenty, and fine ones too.
The boys have boon for the past
two weeks, enjoying themselves finely.
living on the products of the country.
The cotton crop is rather backward
this season - , nevertheless it looks prom
ising.
It is • customary here among the
planters, to give the cotton its final
hoeing, on the 4th of July, at which
time, they will find its first blossoms.
But there were very few blossoms on
last fourth. The country is broken
and hilly, but it is a splendid grain
growing • country.. The boys have
great times baking and eating black-.
berry pies and pudding, as we have
them very plenty all around us:
The political portion of the inhabi
tants are greatly excited as regards
the coining election, which will decide
who is to be our chief ruler and mag
istrate. They say the termination of
the war, depends upon the Presiden
tial election. They say if old Abe is
elected, the war will' be prolonged,
and if Goo. B. McClellan is elected, it
will stop where it is—the indepen
dence of the Southern Confederacy
will be acknowledged, thereby dissol
ving the Union. Therefore the loyal
people of this noble State, (Tennessee)
will go strongly for Lincoln and• Joh
nson, as they are, and always have
been for the preservation of the Uni
on. But they will have no say so in
the choice of our President; yet they
have their views and opinions -on, the
question which I think are.to , the
poir _ TenneSsee •coulit vote :this
fall, she would respond nobly for the
rail-splitter and tailor. I consider her
a loyal State, - as-she never seceded.
We all kndw, or should know, that she
was co-erred out of the Union. The
vote of secession was taken twice, and
both times, the majority were for re
maining in the Union. Now, can you
call it a disloyal State ?
The excitement is great among the
soldiers of this command—a majority
of them, are for the re-election of the
rail-splitter, who is the soldier's friend
although we have some copperheads
among us, but the Union party being
the strongest, causes them to bo very
docile. I hope the people of the old
Keystone State will do honor and jus
pco to themselves, and vote- - for Lin
coin and Johnson, and not ' disgrace
themselves by voting Vallandigham
or his likes; they will bring not only
disgrace upon themselves, but also up
on their brave boys who are out per
illing their lives for the preservation
of this glorious Union.
Hoping they will take the right
step, and vote for the rail-splitter and
the tailor, I will close for this time.
Yours,
MONMOUTIT, ILLS., July 18th 1864
FRIEND LEWIS :-A few months after
the breaking out of the present roboll
ion, one of our Democrat brethern, who
web very sure of foreign intervention,
remarked in my presence that he was
in favor of a "Peace," that'he for one,
never would vote for any man for office
who had supported this war in any
name, I told him in reply that I thought
it would be poor policy to organize . a
party in opposition to tho war policy,
in as much as the present administra
tion, had the control of the govorn
ment, and had, decided on a war poli
cy, and as it was then some time be
fore an election could be bad, I did
not think any good could be accom
plished, even if the war policy was
wrong on the part of,Congress, which
I denied; and I further remarked
that a party to be successful at an elec
tion, must be able to carry a majority
with it, and I thought from indications
at that time that a peace party would
bo hopelessly in the minority. To
this he replied, that with Southern
bayonets and Northern ballots, we can
hold the abolitionists in check, till we
do get a majority, and as the war pro
gresed they would get convents fast
enough, when it came to paying taxes.
Ho went on to say that it - would be
the meanest part of the war men they
would got first, but they would come
over fast enough when thejaxes came
to be paid. I told him I thought it
was wiso in him to count on getting
meaner men into a party in the North,
that was _to act in conjunction with
the Southern rebels. Well the war
has held on for a long time, and now
these "peace snakes" aro trying to use
the machinery and name of the old
Democratic Party for the purpose of
acting in concert with rebel bayonots,
and judging from samples, about this
acetion of country, the meanest men
this, or any other county over pro
duced, have been the first to go into it.
Only to think! men who were raised
in a party, whose watchwords were
such as, "Tho Union must and shall be
preserved," "Liberty and Union ono
and inseperable are now to be found
conselling the adoption of a Peace Pol
icy by the Democratic party, and at
the same time deliberately writing it
down as their opinion, that in such an
event. 'Their success would depend on
the success of Lee and Johnson, and if
Grant and Sherman should succeed,
then Lincoln ivould be 'cleated" yet,
sir, I saw a letter Written by a dele
gate to the late democratic convention
of this State in which he.puts it down
as above to wit: that if Grant and
Sherman succeed; then Lincoln will be
elected, or if Lee and Johnson succeed,
then the Democratic nominee will
succeed, and yet strange to say such
men grow quite indignant at being
called secessionists or traitors? if not
traitors, what are they, but I will
close for the present,

I am daily receiving letters of in.
quiry from the relatives and friends
of sick, wounded and deceased sol
diers in this . department. It al
ways affords me pleasure to give them
what information I can, as speedily as
possible. I desire to ofer a few sug
gestions, which I think will be found val
uable to such correspondents, arid will
greatly facilitate my endeavors to aid
and oblige them.
The name of the person concerning
whom inquiry is made, should always
be given in full—also the regiment
and company to which he is attached
—if sick, or wounded, the hospital
in which he now is, or was when last
heard from—if deceased, the . time
when, and where, is known.
Applications asking my aid in pro
curing a furlough for a soldier, should
state where the soldier for whom ap
plication is made entered service, and
when he last visited home, whether
sick or wounded, and where he may
be found, if known.
If correspondents will always be
thus explicit, it will save me much val
uable time, and their wishes will'be
more fully and promptly attended to
than otherwise-
To the friends of Pennsylvania Sol
diers in this Department, I would
state, that all communications address
ed-to me will meet with the earliest
possible response.
