Cloudy. Left for Shippensburg where we found things much in panic as before. Large stampedes of men and horses from all parts of the country. Dreadful accounts that the Rebels are still active about Chambersburg, and are robbing and stealing as before. How much of this is true, I cannot say as in times as these, exaggeration is rife. Each small episode is magnified a thousand times. Decided to stay overnite in Shippensburg. Rained very hard. The town is packed with people. I luckily found a bed for my wife and I. A New York regiment stopped here very disgusted as they had yet to see a Pennsylvania Company on the job. One I talked with said, "Dam your State, we came here to protect it, where are your Pennsylvania soldiers!" If they don't soon appear, we shall go home.
