During those exciting days of
April and May, 1861, there was
no limit to the numb ber OF rumors
and reports of events transporting
everywhere, but especially in the
south, of events, real, probable,
improbable and otherwise. The
very air seemed charged with
them. First we would hear that
Baltimore Is Ia flames; Then, that
military and naval force has
sailed from New Orleans or.some
other place. having New York
and Philadelphia as Its objective
destination; again, the rebels are
in force at Harpsr's Ferry, Mar
tinsburg or elsewhere and so the
! reports few.
Finally, the climax came. One
morning the report was that a
force of rebels, 0,000 strong had
left Hagerstown and were march
ing rapidly on Chambersburg.
This rumor, unlike any ofits pre-
decessors, was continually grow.
ing stronger all day. The fact
that four or five regiments fully
equipped and ready for services
were encamped just east Of town,
was cited as sufficient to corrob-
crate the truth of the report. II
was bell wed that the rebels In
tended n = tack those troops and

would not down. It's origlnatorl
