Chamberabnrg. A. meeting of citizens was called yesterday after noon at the Board of Trade rooms, to adopt mea *urea whereby aid could be extended to the citizens of Ghauittersburg who had been turned out of their :homes, and whose houses and effects had been de atroyed by the rebel invaders. The meeting Was -Organized by calling Mr. Alex. G. Cattail to the -chair. Messrs. George A. Miller and Simon Gratz were chosen secretaries. The Chair stated the ob. .jeot of the meeting as above, and requested Rev. Mr. Warner, who hail just returned from Chem bersburg, to make a statement relative to the con dition of the people of that city. Re said I reached the city of Charnbersburg, merely by so tildent, about four hours before the rebels arrived there. Riley reached Chambersburg between 4 and .6 o'clock on Saturday morning. They first de 3nonded their breakfast, and obtained It. A number Ot citizens were in consultation with a rebel surgeon with whom some of them were acquainted, when •Gen. filcifausland rode up and told them they were prisoners, and ordered a guard to take them to the main house. Re then ordered the bell on the county buildings to be rung. The door of the building was closed, but they effected an entrance by breaking It down. The citizens were thus called together, and he told them that $lOO,OOO in gold or $500,000 in - United States money would save the town. They told hisktliere Waif not one-fourth that amount in town, and ho then mild, " you ere released." Re had hardly said the word •ireleased,” when Minolta was seen rising in all directions; the town 'was fired in fifty places in a few minutes. I didn't Inowtilat the house.' was in was on fire till it was too late to secure any valuable personal property. 'While one portion of the rebels was thus setting lire to the houses, another body of them was robbing the Toeing citizens of all their valuables. Women name out and pleaded with them to spare their houses for the sake of the suffering sick, but they might as well have pleaded with adamant. They went to a house where a woman was lying dead, and her hus band begged them to spare the house on that ac count, but they told him to go and dig a grave in the yard, and they would help him to carry out the body of his wife, and while some of theta were doing $0 others burned the house. A citizen of Ohambersburg told me that none 'who had the means of subsistence wanted any of our subscriptions • only the poor, suffering, and helpless would ta ke them. The universal opinion of the people of Chum bersbarg. was that It was all right. and better that they had done as they did than to have raised the monepand got exemption from their terrible troubles. It is well known that ministers are poor business men, and I leave the pert of the business relative to the ralaing of means tor the relief of these poor people to wiser heads. There are eighteen hundred people entirely houses his and homeless, of which number at least four Amami have the means of subsistence, leaving -loutteen hundred as destitute as you can imagine anypeople to be. It was a heart-rending sewn to ...lee them go to the railroad depot to get rite bread of .011111'1%y. They told me not to refuse any second hand clothing. They want particularly groceries, and not so much perishable food. I have been told that there have been $1,500 raised in Mr. Drezers °lnce, and Harrisburg has subscribed $1,500. Mr. Shryook was next requested to make a state ment, He said: I. was in my house, with my with and two children, ten and six years old, on Satur- Ality morning. •I knew nothing of the town being on .hre till 1 was almost Stifled with smoke. We all hurried down stairs. A rebel stood at the door, and called to us, for God's sake, if anybody was in there, to collie out, or all would be smothered. I then Went up stairs, to see 111 had left anything. Coming •down again, I met two rebels going up stairs. I came down, and looked the door upon thorn; I didn't, want them to be disturbed .. went .along the street, and saw a crowd stopping at a door, and a woman, carrying a. baby, came out. The baby was about a year old and was One of the olliciers cried out, "Remember Hinter. My_ wife, who was carrying the sick baby, said, •what do you mean by remember Hunter 1" He said, "I mean that we are to do to you as General liunter did tons I" She said, ".Well, look at this poor child that you have murdered—ls not that satisfaction for your His heart seemed touched ; he came up to the house door, and wept like a child, .and said, • • Madam, can't I do something for your ;She said, "No, it la too late ; I have lost all I had." A rebel officer came up to me and said, "If you are a citizen of influence, do ratite a little money to save that'part of the town, a very little will satisfy that G—u—n brute, McCausland." Rev. Mr. Warner here stated, in addition to what be had said, that he had seen a pereon who saw an order in the 'handwriting of General Early, coni-.. mending McCausland to burn the town. The senti ment or the whole people of Chamberaburg was one of gladness that they were made to suffer instead of having raised the money required to satisfy the rebel horde. And as the smoke surrounded at times the liberty pole erected a year ago in'the Centre of the city, the strongest hope of all was that It might be saved from the ruins to carry upon it in triumph again thageod old flag. And as a favorable omen, lam glad to say that did survive it all, and thoufekih , e flame kindle upon it, it will not burn it. The will etilldhot over burning Oinimbisrsburg. The airman•lerestated that Mr. Warner had been sent by a',large napkber .of the leading citizens of Ohanibersburg, fa - we — purpose of .raising money to relieve the suilindrig4Ktople of that oityi Mr. John W. Forney said I think we are met to do for a . suffering people of ‘our State what we should do; and I W i ll 'do what lam able• and more than I am Nothing even in Scottish warfare ever ocourred_ so terrible as. this de struction of .Chambersburg. It • has been caused originally by the curse bf human slavery and by the fiends who.•began this terrible' war, and we roust expect miseible like this and gird on our loins, ready to. meet and bathe the .foe at ail times. I am. surprised that a call which would have brought•rne to Philadelphia If I had been 1,500 miles away should be attended by so few, and I can not but expres' my contempt for the sentiments ex pressed in the New York Tribune, which taunts the people of Chambensburg and the people of Penn sylvania because they do not protect themselves. This State, which has been a fringe of fire ' and of 'blood, and has sent 100,000 men to the army, and done more to support it than any other, la'revlled by the New York Tribune. I have got tiredof this con stant assailing of my State and•thepeople of it. It is time the voice of the people, which, in ordinary • times, would have set a whole nation on fire, should be raised against It. I would remark that I have no MOM to say, except to come forward and do what I can. Please,put my name down for $250. It was, on motion, resolved to open a' subscription paper to receive subscriptions. Sheriff Thompson thought that a oommittee should he appointed to culvert, the different sections of the City. Mr. 0. W.'Davls said that he had started 'a sub- Mription-paper, and, after having gone around with it, he found that he had been anticipated in the movement by Mr. Drexel, who had radial $1,1500, and Mr. Gratz, who bad also raised $1,500, and he • - thought there would be no dlificultyin Philadelphia shone raising enongh money to relieve the immedi ate necessities of the people of Ohambersburg. Mr. Gratz moved that a committee of five be air pointed to receive contributions for the relief of the destitute, sufferers of • Chambersburg, and • make such use of the funds as they may see proper, with power to appoint ward committees. Agreed to.i Sheriff Thompson hoped that the committee would be appointed for the different wards,• if so, they could collect ten dollars where one would now be raised. Mr. Stuart thought a large committee coo slow and that it was better to have the treasurer announce the root in the papers, and he moved that Mr. E. A. Solider be, appointed treasurer. Agreed to. hey. Mr. Hatter thought It would"be well to have the ladies' co-operation. He thought that Col. .Forney had inado a mistake; that town meetings of this kind were generally very poorly attended, and he didn't want our brethren from Ohambersburg to go away with an impression that there was not - much sympathy with them. He moved that the ladles of Philadelphia hold a meeting in this place .on Saturday afternoon next-, to co-operate with us in this benevolent movement. Agreed to. The Chair appointed the , following committee: -Tos. Patterson, Cleo. E. Stuart, E. A. Solider, 0. W. Davis, Stephen Flanagan, A. S. Drexel, J. 0. James, Simon Grata. Mr. Geo.-H.'Stuan desired to be eioused ; his time 'was taken up from early dawn till. Late at night In ad min latering rell ef to suffering soldiers of the army. Ile moved the chairman of the meeting be added to and made chairman or the committee. Agreed to. The Chairman stated that Mr. Forney had went an order on the treasurer of The Press for $250, and he followed his example by a subscription for 4250. The followingsubscriptions were also made: Jos. Patterson, $250; 0. W. Davis, taso ; Geo. H. Stuart. $250; 'Yarnell Trimble, $250; J., Anspach, 11250 ; E. A. Solider, $250; Giiorge A. Miller, 4100; Peacock, Zell, tr. Rerachner, $lOO ; ,John M.

PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE UNDER DOTI- CIILTIES The special election on Tuesday presented an ex tended field to the reporters of the press to travel over in the purertit of knowledge, which they de aired to place before the oountry, relative to the vote cast. Of conrse, the official record wee re. quired, and the sum total, by wards, of. the ballots as voted was delired. The wards being Bub-divided into precincts, and the vote being light, the division .ofticore concluded their labors pretty much about the same time. Each reporter was detailed to ob tain the result in a ward. The reader will under stand that It required great activity to get the In formation, as the ward had to be travelled over WithinAtie limited, space of less than an hour. The dLLoulties which a representative of the press labors underupOn Such occasions may be somewhat estimated by an account of one or two Instances of the experience on Tuesday night. Heavy showers of rain fell at intervals ; the tem- perature ranged among the .nineties ; the dark storm clouds were relieved momentarily by dashes of sheet lightning, followed instantly by gloom seemingly more impenetrable to the vision than be fore. Upon each occasions umbrellas are in the way, and india.rubber overcoats are in demand,• which of course add to the heat, and send up the mercury in the human thermometer to about one hundred and fifty. This was the condition of oar indefatigable reporter, traversing a vacant lot, on Tuesday evening, in the suburbs. As he was trudging along, on or over, about or somewhere near • a beaten footpath,'" the clouds were " weeping" and he was "sad and lonely." Pushing on, and guided only by a distant gaslight, a grateful quiver of sheet lightning revealed to the wayfarer a huge bole before him, Into which he Would have plunged but for the lightning flash aforesaid. Shaping a different oenreeoa big dog-suddenly sprang out from an ripengateway of a yard fronting or backing on said lot. .a.,iiceaa.ensuedywhich resulted in the canine being "repulsed." The goal of the reporter'it am . bltion was finally reached. It was the last preoinCt in the ward, by "which he would be enabled.to make. out the full re tains. But all the ofnoers had retired, the ballot boxes and papers were Sealed, and on the wax to the nearest magistrate. The eleetleaTeu e was dark, and not a person was to be Been. *L'he only visible sign of animation was a dim light in the tavern, adjoining which, under the 'frame roof; was the place where the election bad been 'bald: Be. porter enters. An individual, with a sort,of grunt, went behind the bar and banded out a tumbler. "Have you.the returns of-the electionesirPt• said sthe reporter, in the pleasantest manner possible. , "No. sir ; I wasn't an election-officer," was-the ,reply tinged with the rich Irish brogue. "Did they not leave a record here of the vote I" .asked the reporter with nervous anxiety. "Nary a record, sir, except for drinks," replied the landlord. , "Do you know where I can find any or the can cers V) "Indeed, air, that wad be enthirely difficult, SA they're separated'thia half hour." "That is too bad—too bad. Wonder where I can get h ray:LSI" " It e is too ttl bad, air. t Did ye want them for the pi peral" inquired "ye jolly boat."

STUART, Chairman. At 111 f o'clock on Tuesday night, a green car, labelled on the sign In distinct lettering: "Uroeu and Coates—Fourth and Dickerson streets," passed our office. The oar was pretty well filled, six or seven of the passengers being females. Thore were seven persons, besides the writer or this item, who desired to take passage In the car for the southern part of the city. The man having charge of the oar said be Intended to turn up Walnut street. 4, Why, sir, your ear says Dickerson street," wail the reply of the writer. 16 .1 , m going up Walnut street ; no other car goes down to-night," replied the conductor. The car stopped at the turn-off on Walnut street, and, though the rain was falling pretty fast, a num ber of the passengers were compelled to get out, and make the best of their way through the rain. In company with seven Individuals we proceeded to Sixth street, and entered a car on that lino and rode to the lower end of the city. This company is the best regulated in Philadelphia. The arrange. melds are made to aocommodate the people.. Per sons should avoid as much as possible the unaccom modating lines, and avail themselves of those which pay some attention to the wants of the community.

Presently the lady of the house came and gave the interesting information that the Individual asked for bad boarded there, but had removed slave rill days before, she did not ow where. Half an hour was passed in the endeavor to find out where tho other inspeetor resided, and the re porter proceeded on this mission. The inspector was not at home ; his wife could not tell when he would be at home, nor where it was likely that he could be found, unless at a. certain public house where politicians mostly congregated. The loca tion of the place was finally ascertained, and the reporter triumphed at last ; he obtained the vote, and thha completed the full returns of the ward. These two incidents are similar to thousands that continually occur in the eventful life of a worthy reporter to the newspaper press. Eany times hours are expended to obtain Information that might be expressed in a line or two of print. NATI6RAL FAST DAY. To-day being the time appointed by the President as a fast day, the public buildings will be closed and the churches open as on Sunday. The post office will be open until 10 o'clock in the MOrning, when it will olose for the day. The car riers a make the BA. M. delivery and the col lectors will make morning and evening cclleotiona of letters. The Christian Commission has Issued the fol lowing appeal for contributions in aid of its work to-day : The day appointed by the President for national humiliation before God, with fasting and prayer, is at band. There are some encouraging indications that it will be observed with sincere and earnest de- Votloll throughout tho country. Would it not be in keeping with the true spirit of that day; Indeed, would it not aid oar other acts of religious worship, if we should remember our soldiers in the field by liberal benefactions t Thus, as with that noble soldier, the Centurion Cornelius, oar prayers and alms might go up together as a memorial before God. The Executive Committee of the United States Christian Commission would suggest, that, If practi cable,a oollection be taken up among the people on the day named, August 4th, in aid of their work. The soldiers have learned to love, and to rely upon the Commission for bodily and spiritual help. It would be cruel to disappoint them. We feel that this Is emphatically the great opportunity of the church, and she will be greatly blessed in her en deavors to occupy It. The suffering are' relieved; the despondent are cheered ; lives are saved ; souls are renewed; prejudices against Christianity are overcome in a gratifying and marvellous. Manner. But the demand upon us is greater than our means of meeting it, and would be, If our means were In creased four-fold. RAILROAD CAR IMPOSITION. METEOROLOGY XLLITAJIT.
