FROM CmAMBEKsBURG.

CHAMBURsBURGH July 81.
On the morning o the thirtieth the rebs
under the command of AlcCausland. with
a force OF about 5U0 men, entered Cham
bersburgh, Pa, ami demanded S5OOOOO
from The citizens under penalty OF burn
ing the town. This request was in writ
ing, and was signed by General Ju-
dan Early. 1t is now established by in
dlsputable proof that the demand was only
mere preJext on the part of the maraud-
efs TO cover up purpose formed before
they reached the place-to burn it
to tne ground without giving any time to
remove private property, and scarcely
time enough for the ciIIzens to remove
their families. They fired the houses of
our citizens IN perhaps fifty different pla-
ces. over 23O houses IN the heart OF the
town we're consumed, including all the
puDllc buildings, stores and hoLels, COM
prismg about twO-thirds of "a town contain
ing quo inhabitants Thus u large body
oi our citizens are reduced from compare
tive wealth to absolute poverty. Many
families have lost all their beddings and
clothes, excepting what they had on their
persoHr. The loss will be largely over one
million OF dollars. Without aid from
abroad there viii be great suffering.
The fact that the most valuable portion
Of the merchandise had been removed. ad-
ded TO the rage and disappointment of the
rebels, and when they were thus inspired,
the order was issued to fire the Court
House, town hall and bank buildings. A
strong breeze communicated the flames to
the surrounding buildings. Parties of
soldiers, having sacked the several drug
and chemical tores,,manufactured turpen-
tine balls which they threw in all dIrec-
tions, creating as many different flames in
different localities, which soon united in
one general eonhagration.
Speedily tine scene became heartrend-
ing and appalling, The cracking and
roaring of the flames, the shriekS of the
women and children, and the pitiful ap-
peuls Of the old and helpless formed an in
descriable scene of horror. The citizens
had submitted, without protest, to plunder,
and had even appealed to the mercy cf
the rebels, but nothing could appease the
butcher and incendiary, McClaushnd.
$50 of the most valuable and elegant
public and private buildings were burn
ed. The town was fired about 10 o'clock
in the forenoon. The rebels remained
long enough to see the flames spread ann
get under proper headway, when the
alarm was given that Averal was in
pursuit. #. u. s.flr1.... MANI.

NEW York, July 81.
Tho Herald's rrespondence dated near
Deep Bottom, the 2Bth, says prisoners re
port that when it vas discovered that the
Sc ond corps was north of the James River
the enemy commenced pouring in rein
forcenents both from Petersburg and
Richmond. General Lee was taken en-
tirely by surprise and was obliged to use
the utmost dispatch to rush troops to the
threatened point.
During last night the enemy continued
to strengthen the splendid natural posi-
tions he held, which in the morning were
found, together with the reinforcements,
too strong to assail. All the roads TO
Richmond belween the James River and
White Oak Swamp were strongly defend
ed.
Last evening Merritt's brigade of cav
airy drove Hamptons Troop from an i'm
portant point on the Central Railorad,
which was held until ten a. NJ. the next
day, when the rebels came out in three
brigades of infantry, making steady AS
sault on Merritts force, who had dis
mounted, falling back in order to a reserve
brigade. Both delivered a destructive vol
ley and then charged. Ike rebels broke
| and fled in confusion, leaving their dead
and wounded on the field.
AT the same time General Gregg's di.
vision became engaged at another point
with a superior force and the fighting was
very severe, Davis brigade receiving the
largest share. He was obliged to yield u
portion of the ground, and lost one gun,
! but soon rallied, checked the advance OF
the rebels, and finally drove them back
General Kautz took possession Of Nal
vern Hills, which had been abandoned by
the rebels to protect one of the Richmond
roads.
General Gibbon, after the repulse of the
