FROM PENNSYLVA


rapers Of Yesterday and to day, concerning the
Confederate raid into, or invasion OF, Pennsyl-
yauia, are Of such a loose and contradictory
character that it is difficult to ascertain what is
the real state Of affairs From the dispatches
that are published, it appears that the public
buildings and some private property adjoln
imp, in ghambersburg, has been destroyed =
sto the force that has penetrated into Penn
sylvania, there are. no two accounts that agree,
itbeing yariously estimated at from 500 to
600. It's also reported that the Confederates
we're driven outof Chambersburg by the Fed
eral forces, under Gen Ayerill, and that they
retrealed towards Loudon, In Franklin county

tered and burned the property IN Chambers.

Of Confederates, it is now reported, have not
crossed the Potomac. A dispatch from Har
risburg dated yesterday says =" General Nc
Causland vas in command Of the Confederates
when they burned Cham mbersburg. The peo-
pie Of which place failing to comply with de-
mand for five hundred thousand dollars in cur
rency, or as another account has it, one hun
dred thousand dollars in gold, the town was
fired in many places, and upwards of two hun
dred and fifty houses were consumed, including
all the public buildings, stores and hotels, the
damage thus inflicted is estimated at over one
million Of dollars An appeal to the benevo-
lent citizens of the North has been issued by
acommittee appointed for that purpose, in
behalf of the homeless citizens of Chambers
burg.
One accountis that Avesill entered McCon
nelsburg at one end of the village as the Con-
federates Quilted it at the other. 1t is asserted
