Maj.-Gen. McCLELLAN, Knoxville:

HARRISBURG,

October 11, 1862

Your message received. The rebels destroyed railroad buildings and rolling stock at Chambersburg this morning; also railroad bridge 5 miles east of town. Part of their force left, by Baltimore pike, in direction of Gettysburg. We are sending about 4,000 men and battery of artillery to Carlisle. Gen. Wool is here, and will probably go to Carlisle.

Will keep you advised of all that reaches me.

A. G. CURTIN,
Governor of Pennsylvania.
