TUE REBELS IN M'CONNELLSBURG.
tie Fulton itcpub/icon says that after 3PCaus
land had burned Chambersburg, his command
moved West on the Chambersburg and Bedford
turnpike, entering our. town about 3 o'clock on
Saturday, the 30th Mt. They numbered about .
3,000, encamped here over night, mid took up
their line of march on Sunday morning for Han
cock. Gen. Averill was close on his rear Sunday
morning, his pickets driving the rebels from the
mountain, and harassing him through our valley.
Soon after the rebels entered town on Saturday
afternoon, they commenced plundering the stores,
pillaging private houses, and robbing citizens.
They first demanded the key of Dr. Duffield's
Drug store, which was given, to prevent them
breaking open the door. Not content with taking
what they choose, they emptied the contents of
drawers, jars, cases, &c., on the floor in a hete
rogeneous mass. Private papers, accounts, and
books shared the same fate. The stores of J. W.
Greathead, Cahill & Thompson, Hoke .& nice,
and the Messrs. Shoemaker, were !did visited and
received the same treatment.

The greater portion of the dry goods had been
removed from the store - of Hoke & dace—which
caused no little cursing-and swearing among the
chivalry—as they expected to reap a harvest from
this establishment. The losses of Dr. Duffield.
J. W. Greathead. Cahill & .Thompson, and A.iz. W
D. Shoemaker, were very considerable. Most 'of
the private houses in town were pillaged ofchdlbs
—and many citizens were stripped and robbed in
the streets and roads. t Money. was demanded
from every one, the demand being accompanied
in most eases with threats of burning, or n cocked
revolver inclose proximity with, the head. -

--Gen. Grant has made a new rnoveinent north
of the. James River. The 2nd mid 10th Corps
were thrown rapidly north of the river on the Ulth
inst., and secured a position within nine miles of
Richmond' Several guns and about 500 rebel
prisoners were captured. .Just what move Grant
means to make is not clearly indicated.
--Gen. Hood, the rebel commander at Atlanta
seems determined to bear the'title of chief rebel
butcher. ,He has made three attacks upon Sher
man to raise the siege,,and each time has been
repulsed with fearful slaughter, leaving his dead
and wounded on the bloody field. His assaults,
have cost him fully 20,000 men, while the Union
loss was not one-fourth that number. Of Sher
man's success at Atlanta at an early day, there
seems to be no reasonable doubt, and with Sher
man in Atlanta, Richmond could not be long held
by the rebels.

BURNI . NG OF CHAMBERSISFRG
We give in to-day's paper a detailed
account of the the burning and sacking
of Cluunbersburg, on the 311th ult. by the
rebels miller command of Gen. McCaus
land. Appalling as is the account given
by our reporters, so far from dealing in
exaggerations, it falls far, very flu , short of
a complete picture of the wanton atulci
ties practiced by the bat barons foe. Save
the few humane exeepticms who openly
and manfully resisted the leutal fury of
their military superiors and associates.
the entire command engaged iu the work
of destruction seemed like insatiate fiends
fiotn hell itself, who reveled in indiscrimi
nate robbery and arson, regardless of the
appe.• is of the widowed and fatherless. or
the - claims of the stricken in years, the in
firm or even the sanctity due to the dead.
The allegation that Chambersburg was
burned in retaliation for the destruction
of rebel property by our armies, merely
adds unblushing falsehood to shameless'
baibarity. True, the rebels who in their
fiendish intoxication thrust their torches
into our homes. cried "retaliation"
they rubbed defenceless women. and rifled
drawers, jewelry-boxes, and purses; but
that they should love falsehood, and pre
fer it to truth, as they prefer robbery to
honesty, and brutality to the ordinary
Inunanities whTch characterize all but bru
talized men, is - most natural. We can
understand why the thief, with a remnant
of shame, should resit to falsehood to
paliate his crimes; but for the incain the
North who cowardly skulk and whine
over rebel falsehoods to extenuate rebel
atrocities, there can be no excuse save the
common law that binds men of like sym=
pathis to justifyfhe acts, anti rush, with
the mantle of charity to hide the defor
mities of those whose cause they would
openly espouse, had they common hon
,esty and manhood.
It is untrue—wholly, maliciously and
treasonably false, as broadly stated or in
sidiously intimated by several journals in
this State, that the Union troops have fur
nished-any precedent for the burning and
plundering Of Chamliersburg. Rebel jom.-
nals have' so stated, it is true; but the fal
sity of their statements has been clearly
disproved, and a deCent respect, for truth,
if not for the claims of patriotism, should
have saved Pennsylvania the blistering
sliame„of jothmals supported by her own
people justifying, by every c.!.onceivalile
excuse, the fiendish malignity that has left
Chambersburg a mass of blackened walls,
and our people robbed ,and homeless.—
Gen. Hunter destroyed just six house, in
his late march to Lynchburg - itil Parkers
biug,.and by well recognized rules of war,
he was fully justified in so doing. He
burned the 'residenee,of Guy. Letcher, af
ter having af-tirst guarded it, because he
hound an appeal written by Gov. L etcher,
a few days before, urging the people there
to arm and ‘ ambush and murder the Union
troops. - The destructiomof the Lexington
Military:lnstitute we regretted, and still
regret that \ it Atits, dime; but When (ten.
Rhodes burned a similar institution in

now costs us' nearly one-half more per

justly advanced as the niressaries of life
have increased in cost; everything we
use has doubled or trebled in value, and
w'e must strictly adhere to a cash business,
or suffer serious embarassmenta.

come; when Peace and order and a- re
stored Union shall be the golden - fruits of
this wanton, appalling wai, to resume our
old form and old prices; but till then, we
are prepaied to make any and every. pos

no step backward, though .fire and sword

Tin , . new Militia bill passed by the leg
islature on Friday last provides for a loan
of $3,000,000, and authorizes the organi
zation of fifteen regiinents to by called the
State Guard, to be-composed of such pro
portions of infantry, artillery, and cavalry
as may be deemed best. The men Are tii
be mustered into the service of the State
for the term of three years unless sooner
dischargee They matt be called upon at
any time by the Governor to repel inva
sion or suppress insurrection, and any por- ,
tion of them deemed necessary for the
=safetyof the border may be kept upon duty
all the time while the war lasts, and the
remainder of the corps be armed,
- equipped, drilled at stated periods, and
ready for duty whenever ; called upon.—
They will be paid and rationed the same
as volunteers in the United States service
when on actual duty. We have no as
surance that men enlisted in this corps
will be exempt from draft into the United
States service; but we presume that all
who, may be actually and all the time in
the service of the State will not be trans
ferred to the service of the general gov.-
ernment in case they are drafted. We
doubt not that under this bill Gov. Cur
tin will keep not less . than 5,000 men.on
the border the time, under experienced
and efficient officers, and thus have a com
petent force ever ready to repel rebel
raids. When the call is made for the or
ganization of this corps, we hope to see
everyman in Franklin county able to
perform military duty connected with it.
Those who prefer constant service can
join organizations for that purpose, and
all others can join the reserve regiments
and thus b e re /1( 13- and qualified for their
own defence at any time it may be neces
sary. We shall find room for the bill in
full in our next issue.
