For Mcclellan, he is Jurnt out Never once

They came in rags and filth, but went away
like gentlemen-that is, if good, new clothing
will entitle man to be called a gentlemen
for the stores and two car loads of new cloth

party, and THEN appearance was as bright as
"new pin; in fact, their appearance was
highly creditable to Philadelphia tailors and
seamstresses, who made up the uniforms for
''the boys in McClellan's army.

which there was no insurance The car, en-.

were totally destroyed, and, for space Of
three hundred yards, there is now nothing left
but blackened and smouldering remains. The

When the building blew up, there was no one
near: but those in the other sections of the
town made some of the tallest travelling that has
ever been seen in this section of the country,
or anywhere else. Fortunately no one was
| hurt. These buildings were located on Second
street, near the Falling Spring Creek, and
were ieveled with the ground. One of the shells
was blown into Mr.. Frederick Groves stable.

One car was loaded with revolvers, which the
rebels carried off with them. Two long trains
of cars, loaded with goods consigned to private
individuals were not disturbed.
Gen. Hampton appeared to be in command
and appeared anxious that the citizens should
net suffer. Soon after he entered the place he
rode up to a house on the main street and tod
the occupants of the house to shoot down any
private that attempted to enter the house un.
less accompanied by an officer, and he would
protect them in the course. One of the officers
exhibited long list of the names of the prom
inent Unionist of this place, and said that he
was fully posted in regard to the feeling of the
people of this section.
There we're about eight hundred horses TAX
