We presume that tho people Of Cbambersburg

is not that they arc sinners above Others, but
that the War must be prosecuted and upheld III

non. resistance of Chambersburg. o. it can have
INIT one result, and that q bad ono.
Chambersburg was large and thrifty
borough. the capital Of tho wealthy and pop
ulous County of Frnnklin--a County having
AZ. 1913 inhabitants, and casting last year 1856
rotes. We estimate that there were 5000 able
bodied men within twelve miles Of Chambers
burg when M'Causland entered that borough
lunopposed and burned it without shadow of
excuse. (The COpperhead organs which assert
that the Union armies have burned towns under
similar circumstances simply lic-therc is no
other word that does them justice. No Union
General ever ordered the firing OF city or
borough wherein he had encountered no resist

but called most of its unarmed male citizens

Chamborsburg was by far the most exposed
borough or city of six thousand inhabitants
or oyerin the Free Statcs--one which the Rebels
had often threatened and twice already captured.
Ii lies in The mouth Of the famous Cumberland
Valley. opposite that Of the Shenandoah, down
which every Rebel force has marched that ever
yetinyaded or threatened the Free North. Despite
the thin shred of Maryland here interposed, it is
essentially border town, often threatened, and
always in more or less danger.
Yet Chambcrsburg, We are told, had no
militia organization, no nlinutc-men, no arrange

telegraph or hcacon-fres, of the approach OF II

with what result We have seen.
II Is fashionable now to abuse the President,
the Administration, the Military management.
