time being The dread of the approaching enemy
has fallen like blight upon the interests of this
community and fearful suspense has taken the place
Of that business life and activity which erewhile
prevailed.
At the first alarm Of danger most Of the merchants
Of the town hurried many Of their goods and val
uabes out of the reach OF the thievng enemy who
il expected and for the past two days their almost
empted stores and shops have been closed. In lieu
Of business engagements, crowds OF citizens stand
around the market-place aud at the bulletin boards
anxiously awaiting the latest news.
While l am writing, dispatch comes from Major
Halter, Of Gen. COUGHS Staff that the borough OF
Gettysburg has been entered by large Rebel force
of infantry and cavalry, accompanied by artillery
and that they are advancing toward this place. This
near approach Of the enemy has driven In this drec
tion a large number Of refugees. Since early morn
ing there has been a continual Dgress and egress Of
these people from Adams and Cumberland Counties
fleeing with all that is dear and valuable to them
The streets are lined with wagons, carriages, carts.
drays and vehicles Of every shape and design Some
loaded with grain, farming machinery and tools,
others with household goods, store goods and in fact
all that is valuable and movable. Following these
come other vehicles filled with women and children,
whose wan aud iimid faces it pitiful TO behold,
then come men and boys driving before them droves
OF horses or Of cows and sheep. All are hurrying
away, before the dreaded enemy, from their once
peaceful homes; and many have lett rich farms with
ripening crops 10 be trampled down by the foot Of
the invader who will probably find little else to
destroy.
This city ha. sent forward several companies upon
the late call of the Governor of this State There
is also organized here "A considerable body for home
defence which will DO very servceable unless the
enemy come in force.
