CLEARING UP.
After a silence of two weeks, the HERALD
again makes its appearance. We greet our
readers today in a new dress, with our forms
enlarged, and appearance generalliimpro
fed and beautified. Our first side was regu
larly. printed' for our usual weekly issue on
Friday the 26th ult., when JENKINS I rebel
brigands stepped in upon us, and Called a
halt upon our labors. We reckon, however,
that Gen. MEADE has . so well done for him
and his compatriots that we can safely pro
mise our readers immunity from any further
interrnOtion on their account. The glorious
intelligence from the army of the Potomac
and Vicksburg will gladden the heart and
brighten the eye of every patriot. Never
since the fall of Sumpter, has our cAuse
looked so bright or our arms been so un
qualifiedly successful. The army.of the Po
tomac, after two years of marching and
fighting _unparalled in the history of nations,
has at last achieved such a signal and fruit
ful victory as entitles it to the proudest im'si
tion among the arir.ies of the Republic.
In the fall of Vicksburg, we see what
steady, persistent, undaunted bravery will
accomplish. GaANT, after a series of most
brilliant victories, drove the enemy to his
last stronghold, where that enemy boastf\lly
proclaimed that he could laugh at all storms
and sieges. But our brave captain heeding
neither menace nor missile ; steadily batter
ed away until the blatant rebel was glad tc
surrender to him. All hail to our victorious
armies and the bright days surely coming.
THE INVASION.

BOXIBARDIIIENT OF THE TOWN.
INCIDENTS, &c
[We are under obligations to S. K. Don
arm, Esq. for the following report of the
doings of the Rebels in this place, which
has been furnished by him for the press ot
this place.]
The ten days just past have been the most
eventful and interesting in the history of
our Valley. An immense rebel army has
marched through our midst, wasting our
substance, devastating our fields, robbing
our granaries and warehouses, searching
our dwellings, and visiting on us many oth-
ercalamities of war. For the purposo of
giving a connected and intelligent account
of the events, It will be necessary to revert
back to the time of the occupation of Ha-
gerstov,n
THE FIRST ALARM
Last Monday three weeks intelligence
was received of the defeat of Milroy at
Winchester, and the advance into Maryland
of the rebel hordes. The arrival on Tues
day mortdrlg:i;Of,tho tiain of Government
wagons, and-Vm.Seldiers who accompanied
them incrsgod6the excitement, but very
little appreMmiliin'was felt .for this portion •
of. the Vallirna..of the community- be

that town connoto to was restored, and
all the march:lll6 4 .'4lth but, one or two
exceptions, brought back their goods.—
Thia:rfulet was not 'destined, 'to be of long
' duration. The goods were tipt "yet on the
shelies when information was received that
the entire rebel army was adianCing, Chain
bersburg was re-occupied, and the advance
was threatening Shippensbarg. To those
not willingly blind, it was evident that it .
was no longer a mere raid, but on the con
trary, .the threats so often made by the
Southern papers were to assume reality,
and the States of' Maryland and Pennsylva
nia were indeed to be made the battle-fields.
The Bth nod 71st regiments of New York
Volunteers, who bad beet' stationed at Shl .-
ponsburg retrtinTeffircithis7PlYce;unksteps
were immediately taken by Gen.ltinite, the
officer in command, which indicated that a
stand would be made by our troops.
THE MILITIA. TURN OUT
The New 'York regiments were removed
from their CainpS, and took positions, the
Bth on the Walnut Bottom road, and the
71st on the turnpike, about two miles west
' of town. At this point a barricade was e
rected- across the road, , slight defenses
thrown up, and rifle pits dug. Everything
indicatedf bat resistance would certainly be
offered, and as soon as this was understood
the militia of our town commenced organiz
ing., Companies were 'formed by Captains
Martin 'Kuhn • John, S. Low,A. Brady
Sharp, David Black, ' and Robert B.
Smiley. On Wednesday morning the
cemp'anies proceeded to the scene of ope
rations
on the turnpike. . The' companies
were composed of the beseelemeuts of the
'town, and among the members were several
gentlemen over sixty-five years of ago.—
The Revs. Mr. Clore, paster, of the Episco
pal church, and Mr. Phillips
. pastor of the
German Reformed Chinch, had. - shouldered
muskets and were in the ranks. A degree
of,earnpathess was exhibited, worthy of all

Capt. Sharp of the condition of affairs.—
Before removing either his eompany , or hid
pickets, Capt. Sharp went to, town , •to learn
the particulars of the movement, and find
ing that The retreat. had really taken place,
returned to his command and ordered it , to
town. Then accompanied by, the tanner of
the Guard he visited all the picket stations
and withdrew those 'on duty. ' Failing to
find the pickets of Lieut. Marshall, and
concluding that they bad 'already been re
moved, (which was a mistake, that officer
and his command remained on duty all
night,) he started for town; where he ar
rived at one o'clock in the morning.
THE SKEDADDLE OP CITIZENS
Tho information that, the rebels were up
on us, seriously affected the nerves of some
of our citizens. Many of oUr prominent
ones, and many not so prominent, conclud
ed to leave town, and conveyances of all
kinds were in groat demand. Some unable
to procure vehicleiY . , - started on foot for Har
risburg and other points. The females, of
course, were much alarmed and a scene of
confusion and excitement ensued, which we
Ivill not attempt to describe. A number of
citizen:from the upper end of thecounty,
bad stopped in and near-Carlisle with their
stock, and they were soon hurrying on their
way, thronging the roads, greatly increas
ing the confusion and alarm.
A DAY OP QUIET.
The residents of our town retired to bed
on Thursday night under the full conviction
that the rebels would occupy the town, be
fore morning. But day dawned and thb old
town was more than usually quiet. Citizens
met each other with a smite and talked about
the big scare." Scouts arrived and as-,
Sorted positively that there was not a rebel
nearer than Leesburg,
_three . mites_ east _oL
Shippensbtirg. There Was a laugh all a
round, and the' militia discussed the propri
ety of again going on duty. Friday passed
one of the most cheerful days. On Saturday
morning at an early hour the rebel force
was again said to be within a few miles of
the town, but it was very difficult to find
any one willing to believe the report. There
bad been too many - "-scares," and the-peo—
ple were absolutely exhausted with rumors
and reports. A degree of unconcern, had
settled down on them and they were un-
willing to listen and give credence to the
cry Di wolf," when it was. reality. The
—morning-hours-passed_ disebasing _the_trut h_
of the remora and the people could scarcely
believe their senses when it was definitely
settled that the Tebels were within a quarter:
- of a mile of town. tjapt. Boyd's caralry
fell back through the town and-announced
the Int. — The Tifeltng alitrm
seized on the entire community the night
previous was no where to be found. There
was calmness amounting almost to indiffer
ence, and a resigned courage that was more
than virtue prevailing everywhere. If it
was necessary that the town should he sac
rificed, those most interested were willing
to make the offering. If it was essential
that this beautiful valley should be offered
up 'to destruction, so as to save the Army
of the Potomac, or give its,curnmander time
to mass his forces, it would have been of
fered. Thus was a Manly courage exhibit
ed-by-citizens which will everreflect credit
upon them.
THE ENTRANCE OF THE LEBELS
When the rebels neared the town, sever-.
al citizens proceeded out to meet them, a
mong whom was Col. Wm. M. Penrose,
and Robert Allison, Assistant Burgess. In
response to questions asked by Gen. Jen- -
kins, commander of the forces, Col. Pen
rose stated that there was no force in the
town, and that no resistance would be made
'consequently it. would be useless to charge
through the streets, which could only have
the effect of seriously alarming the women.
and childreny Gen. Jenkins said he had
no disposition t0,,d0 so, and would much
rather prefer to enter the town as quietly as
possible. Accordingly about eleven o'clock
on Saturday morning, the rebel advance
entered the town from the West end of
Alain-street. Their horses were at a walk
'atiVtlhe general conduct of the soldiers
gotid.,t;They were about tour hundred in
- mtub&onounted infantry, and every man
earripd his gun in a position to use it on
thertnistant, with his hand on the hammer.•

ItEQUISITIONB.
Getialenkins asked for the Borough au
tboritipS,,tindiChiel Burgess Andrew Zieg-;
ler, Esq.', accompanied by several of thti
members of the Town Council were conduc
ted to him, when he demanded fifteen hurt
dred rations, to be furnished within ono
hour and deposited in the market house.—
The Burgess and a number of citizens went
through the town informing the people of
the demand and requesting each family to
furnish a proportion. The request had to
be complied with, and was done with alac
rity, as Jenkins had threatened that on a
failure to furnish his men would help them
selves. In less than an hour the stalls of
the market house were piled with all kinds
of eatables, and considerate, hungry seces
sera-were-lining-themselves with - good food. -
r heir horses were picketed arong,
ments faring equally well with their mas
ters, the corn having been procured at the
crib of Mr. John Noble. After dinner the
rebels rode up and down the different
streets, visited the Garrison,Gas Works
and other places of note, an conducted
themselves, generally speaking, with deco
rum.
ENTRANCE OF ENVEL'a ARMY. •
At five o'clock in the afternoon the sound
of music announced the entrance of 11:wet's
Corps. It came by way of the Walnut Bot
tom road, down South Pitt street to Main
street, thence to Bedford street, and thence
to the Garrison. The Baud at the head of
the column playing Dixie" -as it passed
down the streets, and the emotions awak
ened by the incident, were of' the most-hu
miliating character. The men of the nom
. mand presented a sorry appearance. Many
• were barefooted, others hatless, numbers of
them ragged, and all dirty. But they ex
hibitecl. 4 cheerfulness which was indicative
of great spirit and endurence.• . They had
marched twenty-miles on thatday, yet none
- of thetn - iippeared - to - be - fagged - or -tired.—
They went •along shouting, laughing, and
singing "Dixie"and other camp airs. A
few by their tuan'ner stewed Insolence,
but
the reins of discipline Were drieWn so tight
upon them that they" could not gratify the
latent desire which they no doubt felt, to
inflict injuries on those whom they asserted
were the authors of their troubles.

GEN. MEL'S MEAD -QUARTERS.
The Requisitions. •
Gen. Ewell passed through the. town to
the Carlisle Barracks whero , he established
his head quarters, occupying the dwelling
used by Capt. Hastings. His staffnunaber
ed over twenty-five, and they occupied the
adjacent building's. Soon after fixing, his
headquarters he despatched ono of his aids
to town with a &mewl _on the authorities
for - supplies, medicines,- amputating instru
ments, &c. 'This demand was ridiculous In
its character. Among the many articles was
one for 1600 barrels of tlour,wben there were
not 200 in the town; another for follr cases
of amputating Instruments when there was
not one set in the Drug stores. Immense
quantities of qUinine;chteroform, and other
drugs were - called .for,lar beyond the capa
city of the Druggists to supply. Proniinent
citizens were present when the demand was
made, and they informed the officer of the
utter impossibility to comply with the re
quisition. The Borough authorities were
informelt that unless the articles were forth.
coming at a certain hour the stores and
dwellings of the' Wien Wohld be searobed,
as the military were ctihfident the demand
could be met. The requisition was so out-
rageous that the authoiities determined not
to attempt to till it, knowing the utter ina-.
_.bility_to_d_o_so,_a.nd eeling-cortain-that--in
anyny caso, the town would ho thoroughly
e
searched.
THE CONDITION Of TIIE TOWN ON SATURDAY
ECM
Before dark on Saturdak the entire com
mand, which consisted of Rhodes' Division
of,,Bwel's Corps, had passed through the
-town and encamped in and around the mill
-- tary post.---They--had-but few tents-find the
soldiers slept on the ground, very few of
them bad blankets, and.in their naked and
exposed condition spent the night. Guards
were placed on the corners of the principal
streets, and during the night excellent or
_ det_prey_alied, be.guards_wimiti not allow
any soldier to pass unless ht had a written
pass.
(lEN...EIV EL ,SENDS.,III9„VA RD
On Saturday evening Gen. Ewel sent his
, --- - -carit s -Avlth-a'noteTtirseveraftimilies; - ussur ,
ing them that the-strictest diiicipline would
be maintained in his command, and that no
act of outrage or violence would be com
mitted. Ile also nElbred them special pro
tection to alloy any - tears which they might
have. Ills assurances were fully realized,
and while his command were here the citi
zens lelt satisfied that they would be pro
tected.
SUNDAY 111012NING-•••-TUE SEARCHES,
The authorities having failed to meet the
'requisitions, on Sunday morning, squads of
soldiers, each accompariled_by_an_efficer,
appeared on the several streets, and com
menced the search. All the stores and
warehouses were visited, and such articles
as were needed by theni were taken.- They
were not fortunate in gaining very large
supplies, and in some instances refused to
take things which could have been made of
use to them. Nothing was taken from
dwellings except such articles as were
dently ou storage. The officers command
ing the squads were gentlemanly and polite
and performed their work in as mild a man
ner as possible. - -
=I
There Can be no doubt that there were
some persons in our midSt who acted as- pi
lots, and pointed out where goods and pro
duce were secreted. It would have been
utterly impossible Tor them to have known
where the articles were, with such accura
cy, unless they received intormation from
some of our own citizens. The squad
would move directly to a house where the
goods were stored, halt, name the.articles,
and demand that they should bu produceit, -

t".l SUNDAY.
Several of the Churches wore open on
Sunday, and services were conducted. The
attendance was very small, among which
was alew rebels. Thu day passed quietly
and the night also.
MONDAY
About ten •o'clock on Monday morning
our citizens felt much relieved when they
learned that an order had been issued for
the entire force to leaVM The olifceri3 and
privates who were in town hurried to their
camp and it was very evident that some
powerful influence was operating on the
command. For two days ail communica
tion with Harrisburg had been cut oft, and
our community was in total ignorance in
'regard to events transpiring anywhere ex
cept in our midst: A painful anxiety was
felt by all,- and the most anxious solicitude
__manifested to_learn_whaLwas_transpiring on
_the south side of the mountain. There
were a thou Sand rumors afloat. The •very
air was heavy with them, and the Teeple
with,a patience that was a virtue, Suffered
and waited. The commotion among the re
bels subsided about one o'clock, and the
question in every' one's mouth was ct how
long will they remain?"
JOHNSON'S DIVISION
Johnson's Division of Ewel's Corps, had
encamped near Plainfield, on Saturday.
On Monday about noon they received
marching orders, and were soon under
arms. They marched to a point above
Stoughstown, where they encamped, and
on Tuesday morning they resumed their
march and proceedld to bhippopsburg
,whore they took the road leading over the
mountain by way of Fayetteville. This di-,
vision committed a great many' outrages.—
What had been left by Rhodes' Division,
not through mercy, but,from want off nfor-
motion, was swept away by this horde.—
, Every barnyard was visited, and poultry,
and in fact everything which would furnish
a moUthh , ir of food was taken. Cavalry -
- rode,-throe g olds- of grain- t
de, and-the vowing corn was trodden down
by acres. The foraging parties-were in re,..

Tho rebels captured during their course
down the valley several bund p;vhbri - d s of
cattle, which they brought withv'them ah
pastured in a 'grain-field adjoining the post
Some 90 head were killed AIR: they were
here, to feed themselves. The slaughter
houses were the open fields, and the offalt
and hides .presented a most offensive scene.
Some of,the citizens carried away the hides
and sold them.
TUESDAY
On this Morning the people congratulated
themselves that they were clear of the ene
my: "An unusual good feeling prevailed and
our town bad assumed its wonted appear
ance, save that the places of business were
all closed. As yet there was no communi
cation with Harrisburg. The Rebel pickets
thronged but. h the pike.and the Trindle
Spring roadi'although none of them wore
near Carlisle. About two o'clock P. M.,
however,.a cavalry force, over four hundred
in number, made their, appearance on the
Dillstown road,and soon alter entered the
town. They were under command of a
Cot. Cochran, and ft very soon became evi
dent that they were not underthe sane dis
ciplina which characterized -those which
had been hire. They had not been in town
halfan hour until they were .riding wildly
through the streets. By some means and
vit—sonte place they procured .liquor, .and.
this exciting drink appeared to madden
them. They tore through the streets, curs
ing and yelling, and playing the demon, as
demons only can play it. The feeling' of
safety which prevailed while Ewel's com
mand was 'here vanished, and the entire
community felt the utmost alarm, As twi
light approached terror increased. A num
ber .of. citizens visited: Col.:_Coehran at
his encampment near the College and asked
that l might restrain his men. He assured
!bent that he would carry out Gen. .E‘vel's
orders, and that no outteage should be com
mitted. This partially quieted the. fears of
ourpeople, but the disorderly conduct did
not enflinty cease.
I=
,About eleven o'clock nt night Gen. Jen
4ins' command, which had been doing pick
et-duty-between-Carlisle and - HarrAtittrg - , -- to
cover the movements of Ewel, returned to
the town. Their arrival was really hailed
with joy. The outrageous.cond act of Coch
ran's men, made the arrival of any other
command desirable, and as Jenkins had ac
ted well he was prkiferable to Cochran.—
The result proved that the citizens were
right in their estimates. As soon as he
learned the conduct of the drunken demons
be ;en/ squads of men in search of them,
and had them all gathered up. Quiet was
again restored, and the people retired not
to sleep, yet in much more peacefulness
than.they-would-Inive-done had they remain , -
ed at the mercy ot•Cochran's men. During
the night this body departed, and morning
found the town deserted by theta.

The infantry which had occupied our
town during most of the day had tailed
. to
throw out any pickets, and the cavalry force
under Capt. 13oyd were operating in the rear
of the main body of the rebels. About sev
en o'clock a body of cavalry imide their ap
pearance at the junction of the Trindle
Spring and York roads, and at 111.4 it .was
generally supposed that it was a part of our
force. They were within, two hundred yards
of the town, and sat in their saddleS, gazing
up the street at the stacked arms of the in
fantry. It was thought impossible that they
could bejobels. The effrontery and bold

It was terrific, fiercer, heavier and more

time were crowded. with those who were
fleeing from the scene. But the dastard who
commanded the force was not only lost to
pity but destitute of humanity,- and the
shells' flew thicker and the , grape and
canister raked the streets incessantly.—
TIM women and children ran into the
dwellings and secreted themselves in the
cellars, where , they in terror listened to
the hellish carnival-that was going on.—
Those who had succeeded in getting to the
country, gathered their little ones .around
them 'and, in the mud- and . wet, througli
the long, terrible night, waited in the most
intense anxiety the 'e'essatipn of the storm
of fury. To add 'terror to the scone the
Rebels fired the boar& yard near the gas
works and soon the flames were leaping up
against the lurid sky. The fire communi

with the yard and soon they were enveloped
in flames. This increased the consternation

About ten o'clock the torch was applied

sheet of flame spread over the sky in the

red tongues high into the [leavens, and
their mad fury could be heard amidst, the

Of Judge Woodward, the Philadelphia Bul

and bigoted Democrat, and in the begin:Aug

has recently kept. quiet on the .subject, What.

The Vallandigham Platform.
The'resolutions - of the Vallandigham Con
ventiith at columbus';. Ohici r begin, continue
and end in ineaacti. The'Democratio Party
-the preamble says—aalis nothing but its
rights and it will have them. Not the rights
of the people, =but the rights Of the-Democrat
ic Party. It doej not desire to precipitate;
anarohy, but let. those 'who desire to avert it
see to it that they d 6 not provoke thi; Demo
cratic Party to do it: And what are the
rights which the Democratic party is going to
maintain at ail cost, is interpreted by the
course ofVallaudigintht—the right to stir up
sedition iu.a time of civil war, and to insti
gate and orgatiize armed hostility to the Gov
ernment, and against every measure for
prosecuthrg the war: '
The treason they call "the right. to discuss
public measures"—"the right of public and
private liberty." Under these names they
assert their right tO carry on a revolutionary
conspiracy in the north, and-declare their de
termination to precipitate rebellion if it is in
terfered with.
There, can no longer be any question as to
the nature of those who now control the De
mocratic organization. The Columbus Con
vention has thrown otf all disguise. Yellen
digham is its embodiment; and* hostility to
the Government in every form, to end in sep
aration, the establishment of the Confedera
cy. thesdisintegiation of the North, until it is
subjugated in detail by the Confederate mili
tary despotistn,-is its platform.
The War DeMoorats are 'adorned out of the
party aanneeretnoniously as they were by the
Fernando Wood meeting at New York. The
Copperheads have revolutionized the party,
discarded its platform pledging a support to
a war conducted according to the Constitution,
and have taken for a leader a than who de
clares that any war to maintain the 'Onion is
unconstitutional, and that secession ie a right.
The. Columbus ConVention has set up a divi
ding line for the people of. Ohio. On one
side is the' party of secession, on the other,
all who will support a war to maintain the
--National—Union. This - is the - only - party - line
that will divide the. people of Ohio in the
coming canvass.

A REDELIZON AGAINST A : De
serters who have arrived within our lines at.
Newborn, N C., concur that. the long smould
ering fires of. revolution are breaking out in
the interior of North Carolina, and that the
disaffection has reached a point far beyond
even the significant intimations of the journals
of the State; Several, thousand armed refu
gees from t'e conscription have been for
weeks intrenehed in the mountains with an
tiller-y, successfully defying the Confederate
authorities. The Raleigh Standard bitterly
comp) mins that. while the rebel conscription
act has not been enforced in . Georgia and Mis
sissippi, North Carvina "has been raked as
wilb a fine tooth-comb," It appears that in
the battle of qhfincellorsville twenty-nine
Nardi Carolina regiments were placed in the
front--to resist- llooker 7 B--advatce,- sustaining
an:immense slaughter, while the South Caro
lina and Virginia troops were held in reserve.
The massacre of North Carolinians is 'bold),
and freely denounced, and the Confederacy
is charded with gross injustice and bad faith.
The numerous and.-studied indignities put
upon this State and.her peoplo areteenly re
sented.
TREND AND HERB : Roebuck the'great rebel
sympathizer of. England, in 4 speech at a
mass meeting held in Sheffield., slated that
Mr. Lincoln was ,not an honest Abolitionist,
because the Emancipation Proclamation goes
not. free the'slvos in, the herder . States, anal
he gave this as a reason why England should
not sympathize, with the Nationaloo - fernment.
Oa the otherhand the rebel, sympathizers in
this country, oppose the Administration on
the groand that Abolition is the object of the
- War, -- These ,parties - are, equally dishonest.--
desire tits success of the Vebels,.and in look•
Ing.about Tor a - pretest to suit thar case, they
hit upon thenegro questiOn. Abolitionism
is popular in England ; therefore Roebuck ar
gues that tie Administration is not honestly
opposed to Slavery.. 10 this country the al.
lies of Roebuck seek to thrill their followers
with assurances that the War is not for the
Uui ,
zbut:fbi r, the - destruotion'or - Slave - ry.--
