The Burning of Chambersburg.

On the morning of the 30th of July,
1864, the rebels, under the command
of McCausland, with force of about
500 men, entered Chambersburg, Pa,
and demanded i've hundred thousand
dollars from the citizens under threat
of burning the town. This requisi-
tion was in writing, and was signed
by Gen. Jubal Early. 1t is now es-
tablshed by indisputable proof that
this demand was a mere pretext on
the part of the marauders to cover up
a purpose formed before they reached
the town to burn it to the ground.
Without giving any time to remove
private property, and scarcely time
enough for the citizens to remove their
families, they fired the houses of the
citizens in perhaps fifty places. Over
$50 houses in the heart Of the town
were consumed, including all the pub
lie buildings, stores, and hotels, CON-
prising about two.thirds Of town
containing 5000 inhabitants. Thus
large body Of citizens are reduced
from comparative wealth to absolute
poverty. Many families have lost all
their bedding, and all their clothing
except such as they had on their per-
sons The loss will be largely over
100000.
Gen. McCausland was in command
of the rebel troops when they burned
Chambersburg. lie is desperate,
ferocious, and untamed freebooter,
ready at any time to violate the usa-
ges of honorable warfare, in order to
crafty his dark and malignant pas
sions.
The fact that the most valuable por-
tion of the merchandise had been re-
moved previously, added to the rage
and disappointment of the rebels, and
when they were thus apprised the or.
der was issued to fire the Courthouse,
Town-Hall, and bank building. A
strong breeze communicated the flames
to the surrounding buildings. Parties
Of soldiers, having sacked the severa
drug and chemical stores, manufac
tured turpentine balls, which the,
threw In all directions, creating q
many different flames in different lc
calities, which soon united in one ger
eral conaagration.
Speedily the scene became hear!
rending and appalling. The cracking
and roaring Of the flames, as the.
leaped from house to house, the shrek
Of the terrified women, panic-stricke
and suffering children. and the pitifr
appeals of the old and helpless, forme
an indescribable scene of horror
The citizens, without protest, ha
submitted to plunder, and had eve
appealed to the mercy of the rebels
but nothing could appease the butche
and incendiary McCausland. The tow
was fired at about Ii o'clock in til
forenoon. The rebels remained jus
long enough to see the flames sprea
and get under proper Roadway, whe
the alarm was given that Averill wa
approaching the town. Instantly ev
cry freebooter was in his saddle, an
hurriedly took to tho ST. Thomas road
with Averill in pursuit.
