About eleven o'clock on Monday night they arrived at the southern end of the town, and the same Intensely strategic move- ments exhibited at Greencastle were displayed here, Several were thrown forward caul reccnnoitre, and a tew of our brave boys captured them and took their horses. This taste of war whetted the appetite of Jenkins. and he regolved to capture the town by a bril- liant dash, without so much asa demand for surrender, He divided his forces into several columns—about two hurdred in advance as a forlorn bo;e, to whom was as- signed the desperate tusk of charging upon the empty and uhdelended streets, store boxes, mortar beds, &e, of the ancient village of Chambersburg, Every precaution that strategy could invent was taken to prevent failure. Men were detailed to ride along the columns before the charge was made, bawling out as loudly as possible t» plant artillery at different points, al- though the redoubtable Jenkins had not 80 much as a swivel in hisarmy. The women aud children having been sufficiently frightened by the threatened booming of ar- tilery, and all things beiug in readiness, the foriorn bope advanced, and the most desperate charge ever known in the history of war—in Chambersburg at least—was made, Down the street came the iron clatter . hoofs, like the tompest with @ thousund thunderboits ; vut the great plan bad failed ip one particular, and the column recoiled be- fore it reached tbe Diamond.
