rebels, and at once business men comnenc-
ed packing up their stocks. and before 10

rebel force OF 500 mounted infantry reached
/ Chambersburg and eaclmped on the far
grounds. This force was met a short dis
lance from Mercersbgrg nv small party of
troops from IariIS t barracks, who fous h,
the advance >tubbanlV. but were compelled
to withdraw on account of the overwh-lm
ing numbers oi the iavalerS The DISPOSE
ton of the rebel forces as ithey crossed the
Potomac IS described as follows:
One party moved VIA Mercershurg. another
through Waynesboro and the center by
Greencastle. Gen. Averill is reported a.
having engaged the center in hot fight, aud
is sal! % be falling back on Cham bersblrg.
Ii this be 50 his position must be ,erilols.
ard he IS Likely 10 be surrounded al ans no
ment should the rebels leave Caamb-r>bHrg
to meet him, ard those moving from Wavres-
, boro also join in the assault.
The rolling stock OF the Cumberland val
! ley road is being moved to Harrisburg
| Large numbers Of fugitive c1lored people
accompany this stock ana present n most de-
plorable condition, as they are huddled on
the heated sidewalks around railroad de-
pots.
It is reported the rebels have burnt the
court house, town hail. and the residence of
Col. \. X. Mcclure at Chambersburg.-
Various estimates are made of the numbers
of the invading rebels, the lowest putting
chem at $4,000. ~ one o'clock Saturday
they had made no advance beyond Chambers
burg. Our forces still hold Shippensburg, IL
miles east vi lhambersburg. Should the
rebels advance on Shippensaurg. their move
n.eEt will deyelope All apparent Intention 10
make demonstration still further down the
valley and, if not. actually lay sic t TO Har-
rsburg.
APPEAL FOR HE'LL FOR THE CITIZENS.
Prominent citizens Of Chamber burg have
issued an appeal to the benevolent people Of
the North for aid. Il appears that Gen. Ne
Causland, the rebel commander, demanded
100000 TO save the town from burning. but
without waiting for citizens TO remove their
effects, they fired houses in fifty places. Up
wards of 80 houses in the heart Of the
town were burned. ncl,.ding all the public
buildings, hotels, &c.. comprising about two
third of the place. The loss is over a mil
lions dollars. MANY Of the citizens are left
without bedding, clothing or place to s!een.
Without aid from abroad there will be great
suffering; Contribution, cat be sen, to Rev.
John X. Warren.
