Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 7. (ed. Frank Moore), Border war, as seen and experienced by the inhabitants of Chambersburgh, Pa. (search)
ns now returns again, And Lee and his army following them, Grief, terror, and desolation Throughout our lovely valley fling, And nearer, nearer, nearer bring Destruction to the nation. The first to come over the roads was Rhodes, And then brigade, division, and corps Into the town with clatter and roar, In one unceasing current pour; Divisions almost half a score: Johnson's, Anderson's, Picket's, and Hood's, On, and on, and onward still, McLaw's, and Pender's, and Heath's, until The corps of Ewell and A. P. Hill, And “Bull-dog” Longstreet, all were found Encamped throughout the neighborhood round, These rebels were flushed with insolent pride, Believing an irresistible tide Like the waves of a deep-flowing river, Was sweeping the nation far and wide, Engulfing us ‘neath it forever. “We're back in the Union again,” they cried And endless their boasting and vaunting; “You'll in it remain,” was all we replied, Though endless their gibes and their taunting While Hood's division w

ith that impetuosity which has ever characterized the men of the First New-York cavalry, returned each with a prisoner. Amongst the number was the son of Colonel Miller, of Sharpsburgh, belonging to the Twelfth Virginia cavalry, and a notorious scoundrel called Hill, who has acted as a guide to the invader since they set their feet on our soil. Four more were taken during the same evening, and of this number one was courier to General Lee, who had been returning to him with a message, from Ewell. On Wednesday morning we resumed our old position on Red Hill, which is one of the highest of the Elk Ridge, overlooking Sharpsburgh and the pleasant village of Keedysville, situated on the Sharpsburgh and Boonsboro pike. Lieutenant Martindale, having learned from citizens the plunder of several stores in Keedysville by the straggling parties of the enemy, resolved to put a stop to it by the capture of some of their number. Accordingly, as soon as he observed them entering the village, h

r nearly three weeks at Hagerstown, and the streets are continually crowded with men, women, and children. The Union men congregate in front of the Hagerstown Bank — at times numbering hundreds — all bearing a cheerful look and discussing the prospects of the war. On the other hand, the secesh make their headquarters at the Washington House, immediately opposite the Bank, where they can be heard vowing vengeance upon the loyal portion of the community. A pleasing incident occurred during Ewell's stay in town. The Fourth North-Carolina, Colonel Grimes, was encamped in the public square, doing provost duty. Attached to this regiment was an excellent brass band, and on the first evening of their arrival they enlivened the town by playing rebel airs. At last they struck up Dixie; immediately some twenty young ladies, headed by Miss McCameron and Miss Emma Wantz, joined in singing the Star-Spangled banner, which soon drowned the rebel horns. This created intense feeling, and the Un
