Clear and warm. All quiet until about 9 o'clock when the locusts begin to swarm again. On each side of the street, they stop and make further requisitions. There isn't much left to take. All businessmen suffer--Eyster brothers, Myers and Brand, Huber and Tolbert, Sol. Huber, Gelwix, James Shaffer, D.S. Fahnestock Dittmann, Metcalf, I. Hutton, James Hutton, Feltman, Croft and Miller, W. Heyser, Miller and Hemsley, Nixon, these were the principal losers. This afternoon brings much activity among the Rebels. Evidently new orders have been directed as they are packing up and securing their stolen goods as fast as possible. Officers are riding off in all directions. At seven, we have reports of a skirmish near Carlisle driving back the Rebels. Jenkins, Ewell, and Rhodes have returned to Chambersburg with the intention of crossing over to Gettysburg The drums beat-calling their men to camp and hunting the stragglers. All indications point to readiness for a march. Tonight there is not a Rebel to be seen. We are not sure what caused the move, we do know large forces were now built up in Harrisburg, ready to march South. McClelland is supposed to be there, but so far Washington refuses to use him, politics being behind this. With his skill and knowledge, the war could have been ended but the power in Washington will not admit him. The streets tonight are deserted and still. Not a soldier to be seen except the posted sentinels. I remained up until one.
