The Rebel Raid into Pennsylvnia
In another column, we give the despatch
es explaining and accounting for the re
cent daring raid into our State. The el
faJsof the news uponour citizens were va
ried, and sometimes ludicrous. It was
about 8 o'clock on Friday evening when
we-received- the first intelligence -of the
rebel presence in our immediate neigh
borhood. Of course nnbmiy beleived the
rumor. We had so often been deluded
by the satire cry of " Wolf," that when
danger really did coiner — l - t 'found - us so
incredulous that it took half an hour to
convince us that the report was anything
more than a foolish canard, started, as
many beleived by the Breckinridgers, for
the purpose of covering up heir trai
trous tracks, and diverting the attention
of loyal men from the impending election.
But about 9 o'clock, Captain •II AS-
T 1 NOS, ever watchful and on the alert—
had sent a mounted bugler
, into town,
and as the sharp notes of his " boots and
saddles," rang through the streets, our!
people began to arouse themselves to 1 ,
a consciousness of the impending danger;
and when Italian hour later, a squad of
ten of the regulars under comularxtri a if
Lieut. McDoNALD, went galloping up ,
Main street, on their way to the scene ofd
action, the excitement became intense.—
Old women began to wring their hands,
young women to bury their silver, men,
old and young rushed for fire-arms and
fire-trot r. We have heard of some of
the body-guard, (a company of whom soon
marched off on picket duty) who actually
tried on the " fearful embrace" (not of
death, however) before they left town.
On Satur..'ay a train containing two
companies of regular and two companies
of volunteer infantry arrived This, with
the force at the barracks, made about fif
teen hundred effective soldiers. This
force, all felt to be ample for the protec
tion of our oWn immediate neighborhood,
and their presence tended to allay the
apprehensions of the timid in a measur
able degree. In the evening Gen. Wool
arrived, and made a little speech to our
citizens, exhorting them to form military
organizations, and bo always ready to de
fend the border
On Sunday morning we received the
intelligence that the rebels . had evacua
ted Chatnbersburg, and were making•for
the Potomac. on their h9sty retreat to Vir
ginia: They had accomplished their pur.
poses, and were returning, loaded with
their booty. The chagrin and mortifica
tion at their safe exit, cannot well be do
ecribed.• Somebody is responsible— who
is it?
We give the following letter from Col
McClure, to a friend. It is a very graph
ie and interesting narrative . of the whole
affair.:..
CIIAMBERSBURO, October 1862.

of rebel rule; and, although, net so bfid
as might have been, my rather thoderite

' evening, to fill several political appoint
ments in the county; and. when I got off
the cars the telegraphic operator called
me aside, and informed me that he had
a report from Greencastle, of the rebels
entering Mercersburg. We agreed that
it was preposterous, and thought it best
not to make the report public and alarm
our people needlessly. supposed that a
few cavalry had crossed the Potomac to
forage somewhere on the route leading
to Mercersburg, but never for a moment,
credited their advent into that placefa.
I came home, and after tea returned to
the telegraph office to ascertain Whaher
the rebels had beep over the Potomac at
at any point, and I was there met by two '
reliable persons who had narrowly escaped
from the rebel cavalry seven miles west of
this place. The telegraph wire had also
been cut west, aud it was then manifest
that we had but an hour to prepare for
our new aid novel visitors.
Our people were confounded with as
tonishment at the brilliant audacity of
the rebels penetrating twenty miles in
Gen. McClellan's rear ; but however reck
less or well devised on their part, the fact
and the rebels were both staring ouipeo
ple in the face. The rain was pouring
down in torrents, and in a little time cit
izens were-seen running to and fro, with
their muskets ; but there was no organi
zation, and nu time to effect one. Col-
Kennedy attempted to improvise mounted
pickets for the several roads on which
they might, enter, but he had scarcely
got-his.fOrees-mounted until—the clatter ,
ing hoofs was heard on the western pike,
and in a few minutes the rebel advance
was in the centre of the town. They
stated that they bore ""a flag of truce, and
wished to be taken to the commandant of
the post.
I had just got word of the movement
to Gov. Curtin and Gen. Brooks at Ha
gerstown, when I was sent for to meet
the distinguished strangers A hasty
message to Hagerstown and Harrisburg
stating that the town was about to be
surrendered, closed telegraph communi•
cation, and Mr. Gilmore, the operator,
prepared at once for the advent of his
successors, and struck out along the line
toward Harrisburg with his instrument.
I went up town to meet the flag of truce,'
and found a clever-looking " butternut," 1
dripping wet, without any mark of rank, , 1
bearing a dirty white cloth on a little!
stick. He politely stated that he sought '
"BM couninaulerof authorities of the town,
and in the ,name of the general command- •
ing thi'Courederate forces, he demanded!
the surrender of the village. He refused!
to give his name, or the name of the gen
eral commanding, and he could not state'
what terms they would accept a surren
der. As I had no command other than
the scattered and bewildered home guards
I—all brave enough, but entirely without
drill' organization—and about three
hundred wounded men in the hospitals,
I acted with the citizens us one of them ;
and it did not require a protracted coun
cil to determine that we could not suc
cessfully resist cavalry and artillery. So
we concluded that the venerable village
had to be consigned over to rebel keep
ing. We had been kindly allowed thirty
minutes to'decide, at the end of which
time, we were informed, rebel artillery
would demand submission in rather un
pleasant tones. Colonel T. B. Kennedy
(colonel by political brevet, like myself),
Judge Kimmel, provost marshal, and
your humble servant, mounted three stray
horses, and tiled in with the rebel escort, I
amidst a thunder of cheers for the Union
and groans for the rebels, to meet we did
not know whom, and to go we did not
know where. Without umbrellas or over
coats, we had the full benefit of a drench-
ing rain, and I must admit that we were
treated with the utmost courtesy, by our
new associates. They conversed freely
without manifesting any degree of brava-
After travelling a mile westward we
were brought to a halt by a squad of
mounted men, and informed that Gen.
Hampton was one of the party, to whom
we should address ourselves. It was so
dark that I could not distinguish him
from any of his men. Upon being in
formed that we were a committee of citi
zens, and that there was no organized
force in the town, and no military com
mander at the post, lie stated, in a re
spectful and soldier-like manner, that he
commanded the advance of the Confeder
ate troops—that he knew resistance would
be in vain, and he wished the citizens to
be fully advised of his purpose, so as to
avoid needless loss of life and wanton de
struction of property. He said be had
been fired upon at Mercersburg and
Campbellstown, and had great difficulty
in restraining his troops. lie assured us
that lie would scrupulously prpteet citi
zens—would allow no soldiers to enter
public_ or private houses 11111068 under
command of an officer upon legitimate bu
siness—that lie would take such private
property as ho needed for his Govern
ment or troops, but that he would do so
by men under officers who would allow
no wanton destruction, and who would
give receipts for the same, if desired, so
that claim might be made therefor against
the U. States Government. All property
belonging to or used by tne United
States, he stated, ho would use or de
stroy at his pleasure. and the wound
ed in hospitals would be paroled. Bo
! ing a United States officer myself, I
naturally felt some anxiety to know what
my fate would be if he should discover
me, and I modestly suggested that there
might be some United States officers in
the town in charge of the wounded, stores'.
or of recruiting offices; and asked what
disposifiTu would be made of them. He
answered that heAVould parole theta, un
less he should have) special reasons 'for
not doing so, and lie instructed us that

leave, as I had ample opportunity after
wards to, do, I might be hell, as violatihg
my own agreement, and to what extent
wy family and property might, suffer in
consequence, conjecture had a .very wide
range. With sixty acres of corn-in shock,
and Three barns full of grain, excellent,
farm and saddle-horses, and a number of
best blooded cattle, the question of prop
erty was worthy of a thought. 1 resolved
to stay, as I felt so bound by the terms of
s-irrender, and take my chances of dis
covery and parole.
The committee went through the form
of a grave but brief consultation, some
what expedited, perhaps, by the rain, and
we then solemnly and formally surren
dered the town upon alto terms proposed.
True, the stipulations were but verbal,
and but one side able to enforce them;
but the time, the weather, the place, and
our surroundings generally were not fa
vorable to a treaty-in form, and history
must therefore be without it. We asked
permission to go a little in advance of his
forces to'prepare our people for the sud
den transition from the stars ai,d stripes
to the stars and bars. Gen. Hampton
permitted My associates.to do so, but de
tailed me to pilot his advance guard at
once to the telegraph office. I performed
the duty assigned me with no great com
punctions, as I had seen Mr Gilmore, the
operator, begin to " fix up" for them lolly
an hour before, and the rebel that out
wits him must take a very early start.—
Messrs. Kennedy and Kimmel! proceeded
to-town-to get, people- tcr - retirelteace; -
ably and prevent any provoking demon
strations; and so rebel rule began in
Chambersburg. They marched in very
orderly, and most of their Three started
out different roads to procure horses, for
age, and provisions.
• I started in advance of them for my
house, but. not in time to save the horses.
I confidently expected to be overrun by
them, and to find the
. place one scene of
desolation in the morning . . I resolved,
however, that things should be done so
bed N, if possible, and I had just time to
destroy all the liquors about the house.—
As their pickets were all_ around me, I
could not get it off A barrel of best
old rye, which Senator Finney had sent
we to prove the superiority of the Craw
ford county article over that of Frinklin,
was quietly rolled out of a cellar side-door,
and a good sized hole i bored into it. A
keg of Oberholtzer's best, sent me several
years ago, but never tapped, followed
Finney's testimonial to Crawford county
distillation ; and a couple cases of Pres
bury's best Girard House importation,
had the necks or the bottle 4 - :,:t.ttken off,
summarily, and the contents given to the
angry storm. I finished just in time, for
they were soon out upon me it': force, and
every horse in the burn—ten in all—was
promptly_equipp.esiamd.mounted,by.mreb
el cavalry-than. They passed on towards
Shippeusbrtrg, leaving a picket force on
the road.
In an hour they returned with all the
horses they could find, and dismounted
to spend the night on the turnpike in
front of my door. It was now midnight,
and I sat on the porch observing 'their
movements. They had my best corn-field
beiide them, and their horses fared well;
In a little while, one entered the yard,
came up to me, and, after a profound
bow, politely asked for a few coals to
start a fire. I supplied him, and informed
him as blandly as possible where he woUld
find wood conveniently, as I had diM vis
ions of camp fires made of my paiings.
I was thanked in return, and the mild
mannered villian proceeded at once to
strip the fince and , . kindle fires. Sete
after, a squad came and asked permission
to get some water. I piloted them to the
_
pump, and again received a profusion of
thanks.
Communication having thus been
opened between us, squads followed each
other closely for water, but each called
arid asked permission before getting it,
and promptly left the yard. 1 was some
what bewildered at this uniform edur-
tesy, and supposed it but rt prelude--to--a
general movement upon eve rything eat.
hie in the morning. It was not a grateful
reflection that my beautiful mountain
trout, from twelve to twenty inches long,
sporting in the spring, would probably
grace the rebel breakfast table ;
blooded calves in the yard beside them
would most likelygo
with the trout; and
the dwarf pear had, I felt assurediabun
dant promise of early relief from tl%_eir
golden burdens.
About one o'clock half a dozen officers
came to the door and asked to haVe-some

under no circumstances should anything
in the house be disturbed by their motif:

as my guests until it might please them
to depart, and I did so with as good grace
as posbiblo.

In the meantime. a subordinhto officer

and he was supplied
in the kittlen. He was followed by
others in turn, until nearly an hundred
had been supplied with something to eat

permission to enter the house, and
behaved with entire propriety. They
did not make a single rude or profane re

from the box of Killickiniek on the man

another hour of a free talk on matters
generally. When told that I was a deci

inquiries, I told them that I cordially
sustained the President's emancipation
proclamation, they betrayed a little ner

ful that it would not be sustained in the
North with sufficient unanimity to en-

Their conversation on this point bore a
striking similarity to the speeches of
-Frank - liughes - and - -Charles J. Biddle;
and had you heard them converse, with
out seeing them, you would have sup
posed that I was having a friendly con
fab with a little knot of Pennsylvania
Breckinridge politicians. Of the two, 1
am sure, you would have respected the
rebels the Most; for they ante open foes,
and seal their convictions with their
lives, and they openly avow their greater
respect for open, unqualified supporters
of the war over those who oppose every
war measure, profess fraternal sympathy
with the South, and yet say they are in
favor of preserving the Union. They all
declared themselves heartily sick of the
war, but determined never to be reunited
with the North.
At four o'clock in the morning the
welcome blast of the bugle was heard, and
they rose hurriedly to depart. Thank
ing me for the hospitality they had recei
ved, we parted mutually expressing the
hope that should we ever meet again, it
' would ,be under more pleasant circum
stances. In a feW minutes they were
mounted and moved into Chambersburg.
About seven o'clock I went into town,
and found that the first brigade, under
Gen. Hampton, had gone toward Gettys
tirg. Gen. Stuart sat on his horse in
the centre of the town, surrounded by his
stafff, and his command was coming-in
"frour_the country in large squads, leading
their old horses and riding the new ones
they had found in the stables hereabouts.

enter a store by intimidating the proprie

and with a very few exceptions wore not

'I here were considerable Government
stores here : some two hundred pairs of
shoes, a few boxes of clothing, and a
large quanity of ammunition captured re

stored in the warehouses of Wunderlich
Nead. About eleven o'clock their rear
guard was ready to leave, and they noti
fied the citizens residing fluor tho Ware
houses to remove their families, as they
were going to burn all public property.
The railroad station-house, machine shops,
round-house, and the warehouses filled
with ammunition were then fired, and the
last of the rebels fled the town: In a
little time-a terrific -- explosion told that
"the flames had reached_ the powder, and

from our people, and destroyed, perhaps

$150,000 for the Government. Our
people generally feel that, bad as they
are, they are not so bad as they might
be. I presume 'that the cavalry we had
with us is the flower of the rebel army.
They are made up Mainly of young men
in Virgioia,"who owned fine horses, and
have hadiconsiderable culture. I should
not like to 'risk a similar experiment with
their infantry. I was among' them all
the time here, and..'Was expeoting every
minute to be .called , upon to report to

Nature's Guide in Taking Food
Of all the evidences of creative wisdom
that are furnished by the structure of the
human system, there is none more im
pressive than the wonderful adaptation of
the several organs to each other. if
man wishes to throw a stone so as to a -
complish his purpose by considering the
props motion_ he -gives-his-baud, his best
course is to fix his eye uptin the object
and then let his hand adjµst the motions
tollhe line of' vision. If the nervous en
ergies are exhausted, the eyelids drop to
shut out the light and-thus aid ill bring:
ing on that strange state ofsleep by which
the vital powers are so mysteriously re--
stored. if by violent exercise, the slow
fire that supplies heat to the system is
urged to too rapid co mbustion, the pores
,of the skin ; fall open, and a copious per
spiration carries 'off the superabundant
caloric. When the bag that is placed in
the centre of the system to hold the nour
ishnient which is constantly required to
keep the several organs in action, be
comes empty, a craving of hunger urges
a renewal of' the supply. And the sensa
tion of thinit is the efficient means provi.
ded by Nature for continuing the proper
quantity of that liquid in which the va
rious viscera are constructed to operate.
Ile adaptation of the sensations of
hunger and thirst-to the needs of the sys
tem is also shown in the craving for tar
tioular kind's of food in particular circum
stances. In the Artie regicils it is 'often
necessary that a large angina of heat
should be generated, in the system, and,
consequently, a largo supply of fuel must
be taken into the stomach. Nature makes
provision for this - need by causing the
appetite to crave enormous quantities of
fut. We recently published the account
' of an Esquimaux belle who ate a tallow
candle for desert, and Dr. Kano,while in
the Arctic regions, found that ho and all
his men preferred Walrus blubber to any

DAVID Ton,./ho. Governor of Ohio, at the
breaking out of the rebellion was an aoceptod
and honored chief of the Democratic party.
His high, personal character, and consistent
adherence to Democratic principles, made hini
one of the most popular men in the Northwest;
and gave to his example a wide and salutary
influence. Ile did not wait a moment in taking
sides for the Government, and against the or
ganization of the Demotiratie party; and such
was the effect of his patriotism, that he wail
chosen Governor of Ohio, at the last electiod
by an enormous majority,—patriotic men of all
parties contributing to the result. How ably
and well he has discharged the duties of hid
station the Whole country knows. Ho has not
hesitated or doubted in regard to any of thd
measures of Congress and the Administration.
At a meeting iu Columbus, Ohio, on Monday
evening last, lie made a speech, which we copy

My neighbors, it is very gratifying to be
thus cordially and kindly received. •But -I
hope that you'll &case me and not be disapz
pointed that I make no speech. I would be
glad to do so; but the labors of the past few
days, and the pressing labors now on hand
forbid. A few words will suffice for me to
speak my views on this proclanition. I hovel
studied it calmly : I have given it my faithful
attention:and I here say to you that /cor
dially endorse every sentiment and syllable of it,
I would bo sorry to differ with the distin-
guished Geneiml (Wallace) as to its being id
any wise ill timed. I think that it is well-
timed—perfectly well timed in every regard.
We must remember the position that Mr.
Lincoln occupies. lie is 'as much the President
I of South Carolina and Virgina as he is of Ohid
and Illinois. And 1 tell you. that his long
forbearance in laying his hand upon slavery
ettibles him to a monument that shall reach
high towards the heavens. Few tuen in this
world could have acted so carefully and sd
calmly as Mr 7 Lincoln has done. This oracle-
Illation, - is in my judgittent, perfectly well
timed : particularly so as to Ohio, for affairs
had come to such a pass that the questicat
was forced upon us—whether we, with our
army, Should stay At home to protect out

I have seen for mouths, my friends, that ei•
hausticin on due aide or the other is to be the
only end of this rebellion. For the spirit of
their mastr, the devil, has ao completely en

leaders that nothing but exhaustion will be
able to reduce them to obedience to tho re
quirements of their allegiance. And thitl
proclamation is the very thing to weaken theft
in in most vital part. [Applause.]
This proclamation—what is it? The Free.'
