cavalry, causing quite an alarm among the Rebel
forces.

posed to be a fear Of a flank movement on the
part of Gen. Milroy.
The Rebels we're about 5000 strong. under
Gen. Stuart. They retreated in the direction of
Chambersburg, and will 10 day reinforce the
Rebel forces m.nacing II ,rrisburg, the destina-
ton of the raid m .de through the lower part Of
this county o-day by a body Of Imboden's men.

they destroyed. These bands of plunderers are
more to be feared along the borders than the
regular Rebel army.
