About 9 o'clock Ewell's corps passed through, probably some 10,000 men with an immense train of artillary and army wagons. Among them many farm wagons and teams they acquired along the way. The men looked well, but lacked uniforms, being an array of all shades and colors. No two hats alike, and their shoes could hardly be called that. It was hard to distinguish the officers from the men, except those of high rank. They sang and cheered lustily as they marched along. About two, the pillage of our stores began. Not a place escaped, never in the history of our boro was there such a scene. The merchants were compelled to pack up the wagons with their goods, which is being sent to Richmond. The streets are crowded with Rebels who try to interrogate our lessor citizens as to where things are hidden or sent to, and also as to the movements of the Federal troops that had left. By now, all of our stores have been ransacked. My neighbor, Widow Murphy, who kept a small store, dispensing Queens Ware and shoes, nothing of value to the Rebels, did succeed in having her place exempt from being robbed. Some of the Rebel officers were very considerate. My son's mill and warehouse has suffered much from confiscation for which they gave him $800.00 in Confederate script. I hear my tenant farmer, Thos. Miller, was shot at while plowing his corn. I have felt much concern for him, but cannot get thru the line.
