Indeed we did not insist on them working, for they are all connected with families living in our town, vriio required their assistance. We issue this hslf-shcot, so thutour readers may know what has transpired since our lust. Wo hope to ho able to issue our regular paper for next heck._-,jjj ALARM IN OUR TOWN. When the nows reached Carlisle—early on (Saturday morning—£hnt the rebels had pos session of Chamberaburg, the excitement and alarm became intense. About day-light Gon. Coach and staff, accompanied by ninny chi tons of Chamberaburg, arrived in our town, confirming the intelligence wo had received ly telegraph. Soon hundreds add thousands of hotsoSi CuttlU; dli'cejl, hogs, wdgono, and ve hicles Could bo seen moving down the piko and Walnut Bottom road, all on a full rdn in the direction of Harrisburg. Of course the alarm became generol in the town and throughout the valley, arid our merchants and all others owning goods rind valuables redoubled tHUif labors in packing up and •ending their boxes to the different wnre-hou •cs for transportation. During the day sdver sl hundred stragglers from our army—most of' thsm belonging to the commands of Averell tod Hunter—arrived in town, notoneof whom appeared to know of card where hS wad go lag. Finally an order was received from the garrison ordering the arrest of the Ckodud lors, and many of them word picked up by the guard and escorted to our Barracks.— Next day they Word fortned ifatb companies and ordered back to their rogimontd. Hundreds of negroes—men, women dfid children—streamed into tottm, some in wagons and buggies, and otlidfs on horseback and on foot. Many of thorn woro almost naked and nearly starving. How these poor wretches wore provided for, few appeared to know of care. The rampant Abolitionists paid no at tention to them whatever. On Sunday meriting the Boitrt-liouaß bell was toiled, when a mefetiog at once aseembled lo devise means for rendering assistance to the Cbambersburg sufferers. Committees "■ore appointed, who at once proceeded to col lect money, provisions and clothing. In n lew hours soma $3OO or $6OO in money, together withlargeßUppliesof provisions, such as frb’sh and salt beef, ham, flour, bread, clicesß, eggs and vegetables, were Collected, in the niorket House where they were placed in a oar, and accompanied by a committee, sent to the star ring people of ChttmbefsbUrg. 'this largo contribution was Worthy of and creditable to our people; Of course' all business in our town is now •tod has been, since Saturday morning, d a stand-still. Our people feel uneasy and entertain fears that the rebels may yet pounce "pen and servo us as they did tho people of Ohamhersburg. •At this Writing (Tuesday afternoon,) all is fime't, and it la hoped that our enemies have been forced beyond tho limits of the State?— No one appears to know touch about them, however. In conclusion, wo repeat the suggestion we ttsde several weeks ago, and that is to form tome-guard companies for our own proteo *'°n.. If we desire to protect our firesides, ®«r wives and little ones, we must fight for, * na > if necessary, die for them. I’ast Dat Services. —The English Luther *n Church will bo open for service on Thurs a °7, (the 4th inst.) at U o'clock, A. M. Curtin has issued a Proclamation, ea.,ing the Legislature to meet on the 9tb ,n>st. to devise means for the protection of the THE REBEL INVASION. CHAMBERShURG IN ASHES! Three 'thousand of its People are left Houseless. Suffering and Want. THE REBELS ESCAPE, In company with a number of ourcitixenß, we paid a visit to Chambersburg—or rather to the place the town lately stood—on Mon day, Immediately on our arrival, wo took from our pocket pencil and paper, intending to note down interesting items oLinfortna tion; hut wo anon found, tho task would prove a herculean Cdo, requiring more time and pationco tb'aa SSp'A cfityld bestow upon it. No one who has 66b feon Chambersburg since the conflagrati6ri, can have an idea of the 'destructive chaVacter of tho fire. Nearly every valuable building, both publib and pri vate, was reduced to ashes. All the county buildings, tho banks, hotels, (except one or two small taverns,) churches, Uio female seminary, law offices, fared the fliroe common fate. Indeed, the very heart (the business portion) of Chamboraburg is gone-, and tho town it may bo said, is wiped out. The loss is almost beyond calculation, and no one, wO believe, has attempted to estimate it. ~~ NUJ And All this was tho work of some 350 re bel cavalry 1 What an everlasting infamy and disgrace. AYa will not speak on this Subject now, for wo have no heart to refer to tho cririiitial nbglige/ice, tho ignorance and imbecility that- permitted this great calami ty. It is a flint that tho people.of this State, and particularly the people Of this Valley, have never been protected or feared for since the war commenced, and, judging from the past, We can expect little for the future. We are now and always have been, at tho mercy of rebel invaders; But, more nnoti; feelow will he fouhd some of the particulars of the great confla gration, as we find thoni in a city paper; The Rebel Raid into Pennsylvania. CHAMBERSHURG IN ASHES.!! THREE THOUSAND CITIZENS BtIRNED OUT; Gen. McCausland, it now appears certain, was in command of the rebel troops when they burned Chambersburg. It will be ro meittbored that McCausland fired Greencas tie when tho rebels made their great raid a year ago, and that he levied an exorbitant tax upon the people of Hagerstown a few weeks since. He is a desperate, ferocious and untamed freebooter, ready at any time to violate tho usages of honorable warfare in order to gratify his dark and malignant pas sions. The burning of Chamberaburg is described by fugitives, who reached Carlisle on Sa turday as having been tetriblo*and hofriblo in the extreme. After McCausland had taken formal pos session of the town he made proclamation to the cilizeris demanding $lOO,OOO in gold. • It was of couratf impossible to comply with such a demand, a demand no doubt made confi dent of its failure, and sure of its affording a pretext to, efcecutb the premeditated plan for destroying Ohambersbiirg. The fact that the most valuable portion of the merchandize of the town having been removed added to the rage and disappointment of the rebels, and when thus inspired the order was issued to fire the Court House, Towti Hall and Bank Building. A strong bffeeie prevailing tit thh tiafe edon colli moment?! the flames to Surrounding buildings, parties of soldiers, having sacked several drtig atid Chemical store's, had manu factured turpentine balls, which they tbfew in all directions, thus creating ns marty dif ferent flhmea in different localities Bf the town, which sßoh hnited lit bnb gtnferal, ter rific and devouring conflagration. Speedily the scene became heart-rending find appall ing, the crackling and roaring of tho flames, as they leaped from house to house, the Shrieks of terrified wonted, thB cries 6f panic Stricken and suffering children, the pitiful appeals of the old and helpless, ae they were Weird above the noise of the conflagration, only served to elidit thd dh'rieion of the hriao wretches who dime thus to sack dnd destroy the town. Everywhere families Were rush ing from .fheir homes to find safety ifi flit), de solated fields around Chambefsbufg. Wo men could be seen wildly, ebflking tor chil dren that were lost; while children were weeping for parents rffiO ttfuld not bo found. A gentleman who coriimunichtes these brief facts says that the history of mtfdern warfare contains nothing to equal the atrocity dnd unprovoked barbarity of the burning' of Chnnihersbh'rg. The invaders had entered Without resist ance. The citizens, unprotesting, had sub mitted to their plunder; had, even as it Were appealed to their mercy, but nothing could appease the butcher and incendiary, MoCausland. lie ordered the torch to he applied, and has now a monument of ashes added so bis infamy as a thief and a traitor. Retribution will lurk in his path; as the tiger watches in his lair for his victim'. There is no doubt that _the destruction of Ohamhersburg is toast complete, and that two hundred and sixty-five of its most valu able and prominent public and private build ings have been destroyed.' It will require at least a quarter of a Century to repair the damage which the rebels perpetrated in lit tle less than four hours. They fired the town as near as can now be ascertained at 7 o'clock, A. M., and remained just long enough to see the flames spread and get a proper headway, when the alarm was given that Averill was approaching the town. Instantly every treebooter was in his saddle, and the incendiaries hurriedly took to the St. Thomas road, with Averill in the pursuit. The Telegraph open to Chamhershtirg. Chambbrsburq, July it. —Two hundred and fifty bouses in the centre of, the town have been burned by-the rebel 'Gen. Early, who demanded $500,000, but gave the citi zens no time to comply with the demand.— He was in command of a. force of 400 cav alry. The Burning of Chamherehurg—Lose over $1,000,000 —An Appeal for Aid. CnAimißSDUia, July 31.—0 n the morning " OUR COUNTRY—MAY XT ALWAYS BE RIGHT—BUT BIGHT OB WRONG OUR COUNTRY." of l the 30th of July, 1864, the rebels, under the command of McCausland, with n force of about 500 men, entered Chambersburg, and demanded $500,000 from the citizens under a threat of burning the town. # This requisition was in writing, and w'Rs signed by General Jubal Early. It is now established by . indisputable proof that this demand was a mere protect Cm the part of the marauders to cover bp a purpose formed be fore they reached the town, to burn it to tho ground without giving any time to remove private property, and scarcely time enough for tho citizens to remove their families. They fired the houses of our citizens in per haps fifty places, and upwards of 250 houses in the heart of the town were consumed, in cluding all the pointing offices, public buil dings, stores and hotels, comprisingabput two thirds of a town'containing 7,000 inhabitants. Thus n large body of citizens arOvroduced from comparative to absolute poverty. Many families have lost nil their bcdcling and all their ctawN>g,.except such as they had on th'eir persons. The loss will be largely over $1,000,000. Without aid from .abroad there will be great suffering in our community. THE WAR NEWS. Assault Upon Petersburg. 'S’HE filNtll CORPS OPENS THE HALL, SPRINGING THE MINES 16-Gun Baitefy Biown Up, THfc GARRISON DESTROYED, Bombardment of Other Works. GENERAL, ASSAULT MADE Two Lines of Rebel Works Carried Washington, July 31.—Information from the headquarters of the Army of the Poto mac, dated July SO, says:— “ The great event bo lortgttnticipated, viz,, tub ‘explosion of the mine under the enemy’s fort ip front of the Ninth borps, came off this morning at 4:413. ’l ho picket firing was kept up all night, and, in fact, at the time the match was applied the skirmishers were still engaged on both sides. “The volumes of dust thrown up was ira mehsb, ahd Hsitig ov'er three hiintired feet in the air, resembled an immense fountain of dirt or tho crater of a volcano. “The Ninth Corps at once charged the woHtfr, driving the ferihifiy to their second line and taking a nUthber of prisoners, some of whom were du£ olit of tho dirt badly bruised. They state that only about a dozen remain out of their regiment, a South Carolina one. “ As soon is Uie eipldsion took place 120 guns opened along our front, while tho mus ketry blazed id bfie continuous line of fire along the front ot this Ninth and parts of tho Fifth and Eighteenth Corps. “ The scene was one long td be reiHenibor ed by all who witnessed it. But tho smoke from thb ghns shod obscuredjljhe view and tho first particulars of the sudiJess was gleaned from those who came in with the prisoners. 44 The prisoners say they were completely surprised, most of those in the fort being-asleep at the same tihle; They slntb tliilt there wore four gluts in the fortification, which of course, wbre buried far out of sight, due prisoner reported that they were cross min ing under our works, and that in two days more they would have been ready to blow us up. But we got tho start of them, and it is hoped that long ere this roaches you, Peters burg will bo in our posessiou.” LATER. A despatch dated 7 A.

Our loss in the charge wgs seyere, as our men bad to cross an open field to rbitch the Rebels.

Further Details from General Grant’s Army. Baltimore, July 31. A Inter disjtiitch from the Associated Press correspondent at City Point states the assault of Petersburg comthoncoi) at four o’clock on Saturday morn ing by a terrible explosion which completely destroyed one'of £he enemy’s principal Torts in front, of Petersburg, containing sixteen guns. , This was reduced to a rfiiiss of ruin’s. Immediately upon this explosion our artille ry opened with one simultaneous and oonfih nous roar along thC entire line of General Grant’s army.

FEARFUL SLAUGHTER, WHOLE BBGIMENTS CUT TO PIECES. ■Washington, August I.'—lnformation from the Army of the Potomac dated July 80, 9 p. m., says: After the explosion this morn ing everything betokened a brilliant victory, but soon after matters assumed a different aspect, part of the attacking force having given way, thus exposing the balance to an enfilading fire from both artilioi'y and in fantry. The programme was as • Tho mihe to be- exploded at 3 a. in., and the batteries to open at once along the entire line; the Ninth corps to charge, supported by the 18th; ' Carlisle,- pa., Thursday,- August Ayres’ division of tho Fifth, and the Third division of the Second. The greater part of the arrangement was carried out ns ordered, although tho commencement was later than the hour designated, on account of the fuse going out twice. Tne' explosion took place at precisely 4.40, and tho roar of artillery that immediately followed was almost deafening. At 5.30 the charge was made, and the fort with part of the lino each side was carried in brilliant stylo. The Second division, which was in . the centre, advanced and crossed the second line, ft short distance beyond the fort,,and here re sted, Tiolding their ground with the Almost determination. It was’at .tins time that tho colored division, ling. Gfon. tYhito in Command, were pushed forward ftnd ordered to charge and carry the crest of tho hill, Which would have decided tho contest. , . The trortps advanced Vi good order as far os the first lino, where they received a gal ling fire whiohed checked although quite a number kept oii, th'd greater portion seemed to have become utterly demoralized, part taking refuge in the fort arid the IjAlance running,,to .the roitr ns fast as possible. They Were rallied and pushed forward again; hut without imeoeas. Tho greater part of theirolß cers being killed & wounded during this time they seethed to be without any one to maniige them, when they finally fell back to tiro rear out of range of th’o Volleys of canister and musketry that were ploughing through their ranks. Their losses are very heavy, particularly in officer*, as will be seen by the following ficures: The 23d U. S. colored roginWnt had 15 officer* killed and wounded, and lost about 400. men; including the missing. The 28th U. S. colored regiment had 11 officers and about 150 men killed, wpnnded and trussing. The 2 7 th U. S. colored regimed had G officers, about 150 men killed, wounded And missing. The 43d U. S. colored regiment lost 6 officers and a large number of men. The 39th U. S. colored regiment lost several officers and 15Q tnen killed, wounded and missing. The loss in the Second division of the Ninth corps \Getr. Ledlie commanding) was very se vere, being estimated at from 1,000 to 1,200, while many make the figure larger. Among those missing I regret to announce the nariVe of Gen. ijartlctt, who reached the fort with ins command, and his cork leg be ing accidently broken he was tioriole to got (ff the field*. He however held possession of the groiind for several Hours find, dhly sur rendered when ail hope of escape was gotle.. Some two hundred mep, both black and white, were with him it is believed at the time, a few of whom managed to get back to our lines amidst a storm of bullets. Nearly all of Gen. Bartlett's staff were captured nt the same time. Col. Marshal, commanding tHe Second bri gade of this division, was also taken prison er, with several of bis staff. Col. 1 Wild, of the 56th Mass., colored, is also reported h pH*»oncr. Col. Gould, 59th Maas., lost }i log. , Major Barton, 179th New' York, also lost'a leg. Lieutenant Col. Bar ney, 2d Pa., wounded ; Major Prescott’, 57th Muss.; killed; Lieutenant Col. Ross, Slat U. S. leg amputated. This division, having been ft good deal in advance of ilio rest of the line, held their po sition for several hours, but were finally com pelled to fdll back, suffering heavily doing so. . The loss in fixe First and Third divisions was also severe, the latter having some four hundred in the hospital. The IGth corps occupied a partofthb brie, but their loss was not very great. We took about 250 prisoners, mostly youth Carolinias, and fife battle flags. All is quiet this morning—Sunday the Slat. Proclamation by llie CcTernor.
