THE REBEL OCCUPATION OF CHAM.
EERSRURG
Whit Ther Did WE


A gentleman who left Chambersburs on
Thursday says the rebel force under Jenkins,
which entered Chambersburg on M onday, was
$50 strong, and were composed Of cavalry and
mounted infantry. They are also reported to
have had two pieces of our artillery captured
at Martinsburg, which they did not bring into
the town. They seem to have been drawn as
far as Chambersburg in their attempts to cap
ture the wagon train which escaped from Mar.
tinsburg.
Immediately upon taking possession OF the
town Jenkins threw out pickets as far as Scot.
land, a distance of five miles from Chambers
burg. where the railroad bridge, substantial
wooden structure, some eighty feet long, was
/ destroyed by them. He also establis he'd chain
Of expresses between himself and Gen. Rhodes
at Williamsport. Scouting parties OF consid-
cradle force were sent out IN the direction Of
Shippensbnrg.
Jenkins then demanded the surrender of all
Government muskets in the hands OF the citi-
zens, and thus Obtained about eight hundred
muskets, which he destroyed.
The drug stores next claimed the rebel atten-
ton, and the contents were packed up and re-
moved. Beaver hats and everything in the
millinery line were also gobbled up. On Tues
day morning, about IL O'Clock, a detachment
OF about forty cavalry from Carlisle, while
connoiteriDg, met rebel scouting party On the
pike, about four miles this side of Chambers
burg, and had a skirmish, in which two Of
our Carlisle men were captured. Jenkins,
however, here got scared and sent expresses
to Hagerstown to inform Gen. Rhodes that
there was large force i'll his front; and later
in the day he told citizens of Ghambersburg
| that he soon expected heavy renforcements Of
infantry; but this expected force not coming,
he at one O'Clock on Wednesday Withdrew in
| the direction OF Hagerstown.
The rebels were in great fear during the whole
| time they held the town. They seemed i'm
pressed with the idea that they were holding
very dangerous position. Indeed, they were
drawn up in line of battle during the whole of
Tuesday afternoon, nomentariiy expecting an
attack.
| They took with them when they left Cham
bersburg all the negroes which they found
there fthe ma iority having fled towards Har-
risburg), with the exception of two Or three,
| who claimed that they had been set free by
their masters. The stronger and more refrae-
tory ones were tied together, making somewhat
of an extemporized coiiie-gang. The smaller
ones We're placed upon the horses which the
rebels had stolen.
No resistance wha yer was offered when the
rebels entered Chambershurg, but one or Two
Struggling behind after the main body had left
were fired upon from the Franklin House, 1t
is said by the party whose storehouse had been
set on fire.
The rebels have not at any time been nearer
to HARRISBURG. than Scotland, with the excep-
lion of scouting party of thirty 10 fifty, winch
