What the Rebels did in Franklin
County, Pennsylvania.

From The Harrisburg Telegraph, Cd.
We saw and conversed with gentle
man last night, who had just managed to
effect his escape from Franklin County.
He gives a horrible description of the raw
ages Of the rebels in Chambersburg and
within circle Of ten miles around that
ancient borough. Every article that the
rebels desired to eat or to wear was ruth
lessly wrested from the people. After the
stores of Chambersburg had been stripped,
private residences were entered, and then
searched from the attic to the cellar. In
robbing the stores, the rebels destroyed
what they could not carry Oft. Sugar was
trampled under foot; coffee was scattered
on the sidewalks; rebel canteens were
filled with molasses; webs of muslin, rolls
of cloth, hats, shoes, hardware, drugs,
medicines, and every article OF manutac-
ture or merchandise, were seized, placed
in wagons and sent towards the Potomac.
After the stores had been thus relieved,
citizens were attacked on the streets, their
hats taken from their heads, their coats
pulled from their backs, and their feet re-
lieved of their boots or shoes.
One citizen of Chambersburg had Sc
creted in his cellar three barrels OF fine
sugar. He was called on by the rebels,
informed that they knew the fact, and then
asked to hand it over.
In many of the houses of Chambersburg
the clothing of the male inmates was so
completely carried off that the owners
can scarcely appear in public, unless it is
as a Georgia Captain once reported on
parade in a shirt and pair of spurs.
Our informant, on whose statement this
description is written, says that Franklin
county will not fully recover from the eff
tects of this raid for years to come. 1t
has completely ruined many of the most
prosperous men of Chambersburg and vi
cinity.
Among the localities visited by the re-
bells, and among the manufacturers who
suffered most in Cumberland county was
Mount Holly and it's paper mills. Mount
Holly is about six miles southeast of Car
Isle. 1t is principally noted for its paper
mills. and on these the rebels made large
drafts. The firm of Kempton & Mulin
was relieved of over $4,000 worth of SUI
perior cap, letter and note paper. After
this stock had been taken possession OF,
the rebels gave the firm a receipt for the
stock taken, enjoining on them also lot to
allow single ream of any other paper to
be removed from the mill, without an Or
der from Gen. Ewell. Other mills were
treated in like manner, receipts being CIV
en- for the stock taken, and iniunctions
laid on the proprietors to give no paper to
any one without an order from Ewell.
The rebels told the paper manufacturers
that the stock they had contributed to the
rebel government was the most desirable
article vet captured. It was greatly need
ed in the department at Richmond, and
would be welcomed with more satisfaction
by President Davis than dozen captured
Union standards.

From the Cincinnati Daily Times, March 81, 1861.
The Scandinavian Remedies appear to be growing
in favor with the public, If may Judge by the tes-
tmonials constantly received by the proprietor. A
letter from Wisconsin to be found in our advertising
columns, announces that among the physicians of
that locality it is becoming very popular, and, what
isvery unusual is being adopted by them in their
practice cure for many diseases which they can
not treat effectually in any other way. We under
stand that the immense trade carried on for several
years in these medicines has during the present year
doubled. Their process Of operating is by thor
ough publication of the blood, and a consequent
eradication of disease Read the letter. oct17-1yeOm

The Government have official adyices from

Mississippi represents that Gen. Joe Johnston's
forces-except one division-haye been sent to
reinforce Gen. Brang, and that there are not
more than 10000 rebel troops In the State of
Mississippi. Gen. Loring was at Cation on
the Sth inst, with 8, 900 infantry and Joe john
ston had gone to Holly Springs, on tour of in
speclion. Richardson, Ross, Whitfield, Blythe
and Chalmers, with bands about 500 strong,

ROsECRANs TO BE sUPERsEDED.
We learn by telegraph that the New York
Triosns Of to-day eontaius q statement that
General Rosecrsns is shout 10 be super
seded. We are not prepared at present 10
say whether this is true or not, but We WIN
take the liberty to state, In this connection,
that the oft-repssted declarations that Cen
eral Rosecrans advanced beyond the works
Of Chattanooga ty orders from Waahingtor Il sot
tue. Neither The President, Secretary OF War,
nor Gen. Halleck gave such an order. General
Rosccrans, before reinforcements reached him,
advanced beyond Chattanooga Of his o~a accord.
The result was repulse, the moral effect Of
which has been very injurious 10 the National
use.
In view Of this great mistake and the i'm
mense importance Of avoiding similar ones in
the future, we can easily understand why q
change Of commanders may have been ordered.
There Is little doubt, II any change is now
made, that Gen. Grant will BE- the successor Of
Gen. Resecrans.
Thero Ia not another man In the American
army to-day who would receive warmer vel.
come from the Army Of the Cumberland OF
whose appointment TO that command would be
more heartily indorsed by the loyal American
people than Gen. Grant, and probably there ID
no man In the whole nation whom JEFF. Davis,
and especially Bragg, would not rather see
Placed In that position.

Railr0aA.


Railroad.
rhe Washington correspondent of the Chi
csgo yovrwal has the following just criticism
on the recent rapid movement of troops to the
west.
1.-THE fact that the Army Of the Cumberland
has been considerably reinforced from the
Army Of the Potomac having been made pub.
lie, and tho announcement Of the arrival of
troops ct Nashville been Published, there can
Be no military necessity for refraining from
now saying that there has not been, during the
present war, or, In fact during the progress Of
any war In this or any other country, as many
mon transferred from one department to an
other, and transported, either by rail or water,
90 great . distance In so short time without
accident or detention. Every one conversant
with military Affairs know that the movement
oflarge bodies ofmen, especially over railroads,
tasks the qusrcrmaster and commissary de-
psrtments to their full capacity. The duty Of
furnishing transportation falls on the former,
while the subsistence Of the men belongs ex.
clusively to the latter. II either one fails in
the prompt and ample discharge of Its duty,
there will bc necessarily confusion and delay.
In this instance, as likewise on other highly
important occasions, Col. d. z. McCallum,
Military Superintendent of Railroads, called
into reputation the immense facilities of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. W.
Prescott Smith, Esq, Master Of Transportation
Of that road, placed at the superintende dent's
disposal all necessary locomotives and cars.
and gave Gen. McCallum the exclusive use of
the entire railway; thus afYording additional
evidence Of the ability Of the road to transact
almost any amount Of business with dispatch
snd safety, % well as demonstrating the great
value the road Is to the Government, and the
comprehensive and energetic character Of Its
by Its present efficient and pstri.
otic officers. Though Col. McCallun has but
recently had the exclusive military control of
the railroad business Of the Government, he
has evinced in this particular case, as in all
others where he has had fair opportunity,
executive ability Of the highest order, Intimate
and thorough knowledge Of railroad matters,
wonderful energy and interchangeable applica-
ton in the discharge of onerous and compli-
Gated duties, upon the successful execution of
which the efficiency, II not the safety, of the
army greatly depended.
"The preparations as well as the details Of
the movement were made by Brig. Gen. D. H.
Rucksr, Deputy Quartermaster. 1t was easy
to plan the movement-the difficulty was in
carrying out the minutie. Thousands Of little
things had 10 be anticipated and provided for,
and all these preparations must be made with
nA I. IA
The moving Of tens Of thousands of men dis.
tance Of nearly thousand miles was hercu-
liam undertaking; and the fact that so large a
number Of men, baggage and arms have been
thus transferred, without delay and without
accident, reflects the highest credit upon those
who executed the giant epterprise.,

Mr.. Grover realizes the fact that NO amount
Of histrionlc talent will keep shsksperean plays,
or the "lcgitimate drams," /" II you please, con-
stantly upon the stage. In these days people
look for plays that relax tho mind and afford
easy amusement which do not tax the mental
powers. We have real tragedies enough In the
field, and In our hours Of rest and leisure we
require, at this time especially, entertainments
OF light and pleasing character.
With his usual tact, Mr.. Grover, after having
opened the season fairly with rars combina-
tion Of talent In tho representation Of tragedies,
which proved, by the way, emlneutiy success
full, gives us, just at the proper moment, an
engagement with those children of Momus,
