The following is condensed from the
evening Telegraph:
Gen. Pierce. in command of Milroy's
troops, on Saturday evening. captured a
rebel wagon train of about 100 wagons,
between Cham bersburg and Greencastle.
The contents were chiefly plumber, con
sisting of clothes. shoes, hats, and even
women and childien's clothing A great
many rebel wagons fall into our hands as
they near the Potomac, and farmers along
the line OF the retreating rebels greatly
harrassed them. The rebels desert their
sick and wounded 1t is thought they do
so to EN- barass our army.
1t is said that the Headquarters of the
Department of the Susqaehanna are TO be
removed to Carlisle.
Ii is fully believed here that Lee is
making bold front to cover his retreat.
and that he is working as if he intended
to entrench himself in position beyond
Gettysburg. the more effectually to cover
his design of extricating his army from
its present position without q fight.
1t is said his troops are dishesrtened
and dismayed. taa
