tinual turmoil brthe 'numberless rumors afloat, and the

columns of the rebels do net tend to abate the intense
excitement. The 'specie from this place has all been
chipped for safe;keeni4 to your city, and' the most of
the merchants if liageretown, and, in fact, all 'the
points between-this and Ilarrisbargi have packed and
removed their most valuable 'goods. ltundreds of re-'
fugees from the vial:MY of the Potomac arrive daily,
and doleful, indeed, are the tales they tell. The most of
them have Bogerstown - and Williamsport notes..;tvhich
are not at all current in this neighborhood. Oar ei ti-
zees are organizing for home protection, and the stores
close early in the afternoon, so ae to afford them time
to drill. Pickets are nightly stationed in the environs
of the town s and on the road to Hager'. City. Every
scent • tbat comes in brings the report of 't rebels ap
proaching." Yesterday the battered and toil. worn
remnant of the gallant 29th Pennsylvania, which figured
so conspicuously in the battle of Front itoYal, arrived,
and' encamped near town. 'rimy number about three

To•day the examination of the draft exempts began,
and it Was really astonishing to me the number of 'crip

ills which flesh is heir to are brought forward in order
to get 'spats to stay at home. To-day, in realionse to an
Order trots Oov. Onrtin, they are drafting two hundred
horses into ihe service. This causes mush gruMbiltig
among the rural pdpulation. While I write, a despatch
has arrived, oaf ing the rebels are crossing in full force at

have notified all the loyal men to lease immediately on

of this town is near. If the rebels get this far you may
expect to hear of our pretty little town laid in ashes, for
many time* have the traitors' expreEsed a wish to help
sack the •place where (as they say) John Brown was
raised and fed; and whoro the whole affair was con
rotted. But they are wrong, for it would be a hard met

If anything of import transpires I will notify, you,

column was passing through Hagerstown, and. another
one through Emmettsburg, towarne Gsttysburg.
PLANS OF TUE REBELS IN PENNSYLVANIA,T;'
.
Their intentions were plslnly declared. They wore to
invade f ennsylvania with so strong a fords as to. make
resistance on the part of the Pennsylvania troops un
availing; to proceed to Harrisburg and capture that
city ; to destroy, if possible, the PoonsylVanta Central
Railroad ; to strike for the town of York, in Pennsyl

railroad between Baltimore and Havre de artuns, so as to
cnt off all communication by railroad between Baltimore
and the north.
AFFAIRS AT LANCASTER.
LANCASTER (Pa ), September 9, 1862.
As far as I can learn, the tegorts about the advance of
the rebels into this State have been greatly exaggerated.
Up to the present time it does not appear that they have
advanced beyond Hanover, which ie a town Of one thou
sand inhabitants, mar the Maryland line, in York
,folatty. It is forty miles from this city, and eighteen
from York city, which has a population of ten thousand
souls. Even as far as Hanover, only-a few of the rebel
Scouts have dared to show themeelvet Theie is an un
incision hero that there is a large force of the onomy on
the border, near Hanover, which may be the fact.
PATROLS ESTABLISHED.
coromitico of' safety has had the management and
control. of . offalie, deputeci to it in Lancaster county,
since this morning, by the Governor of rho' State. 'Tnis
committee has, established patrols, and keeps an eye
upon the movements of all strange or suspicions-looking
persons. The city lies not yet been placed tinder martial
law. .

Anne are being forwarded by. Gov. Curtin to the citi
zens of York county, and other adjacent ones. who are
rapidly organizing to - resist an Invaeion by the rebels,
should they attempt one. In this city there are 831 truly
organized Eome Guards, who are well armed 'and equip
ped, and there are 5,000 more in the county readitto
rush to the rescue at a moment's notice, and tesph the,
rebels a lesson that they would not forget in a hurry, if
they attempted , to invade the southern koniftles., These
Borne Guards are drilling every day, and are new quite
an efficient force. A proclamation from the Mayor has.
been issued, wronglf supporting the one from the Gover
nor 11 garding the arming of the State.
TEE ONLY AVAILABLE FORD ON TEE SUSQUEHANNA.
The rebels cannot advance to Ilarrisburg across the'
Ihrequehenna river without encountering a force In their
trout perhaps as large as their own; independent of the
army which would certainly fall upon their rear in such
an event. There is a ford at allace galled 'Peach I3Jt •
tom, on the Susquehanna, abut twenty utiles from here,
by which the enemy might attempt a demonstration
against • Philadelphia. Even a demonstration of this
kind la exceedingly Improbable. There are two, and only
two, objects, lam now satisfied, which the rebels can
hope to accomplish by a raid on Pennsylvania, and these
are the breaking of the Noihern,Central _Railroad, run.'
nieg along the south side of the Susquehanna, and the
carrying off of booty. These achievements, if carried
out, must cost them more than they can possioly be
worth, and might bring about the capture of their army
and the end of the rebeltion.

THE CHIVALRY OPPOSITE WILLIAMSPORT.

Fought in ,the invasion of Maryland was not so much'to
occupy that State as it was a Mitt' to draw off a large
bcdy of tbe'Union force in front of Washington, as also
to get suPplisa in Maryland. I learn it from authentic

Letter from Reading, Pennsylvania
MEETING Or THE TWENTY•FIRST ANNUAL CONVEN
TION OF TEE EVANGELICAL LTITIOIRAN SYNOD
OF EAST PENNTSI.VANIA.
[Cone*°Mance of The Press.]
READING, Pa , September 11, 1862.
The East Pennsylvania Synod of the Erangelical Lu
theran Church has just concluded its twenty. first annual
convention, in the church of ilev. M. Valentine, iu this
city, after a maim of about a week. The attendance
was quite large, over one hundred clerical and lay mem
bers having been , present, besides visitors from other
bodies. Notwithstanding the excitement produced by
the war news, the proceedings throushout wore conduct
ed with remarkable calmness, and were characterized
by more than usual unanimity. The synodical sermon
was preached on Wednesday evening. 2d instant, by Rev.
J. A_Seles. D. D , pastor of St. John's, Church, Race
street, Philadelphia. His theme was the second coming
of Christ, and the discourse fully sustained the high
reputation of the speaker. Synod received an accession
of six new members, viz: Reif. 0. D. Hilary, from the
Pittsburg Synod ; Rev. Theophilus Hellig, from the
Synod of West Pennsylvania; Rev. CI L. Reedy, from
the Allegheny Synod ; and Revs. Pd. Rhodes, H. G. Ehr
hart, and A. H. Shertz, from the Central Synod of Penn
sylvania. On Thursday morning, Synod formally orga.
sized by the election of the following officers, viz :
President—Rev. A. C. Wedekind, of Lebanon.
Sect etary—Rev. T. T. Titus, of Milton.'
Treasurer—Rev. M. Valentine, of Reading.
Rev. J. R
s Plitt, of Hill Va ll ey, New Jersey, was an
'pointed assistant secretary.
Revs. George F.ldther, Professor lifnhlenberg, Baer,
Brobst, Sill, Lampe, Kendig, • Hinterielter, Biennia,
Yaeger, and Rberman, all of the Pennaylvania Synod
and Rev.. W: A. Passavant, of the Pittsburg Synod,
were received as advisory members. Rev. F. A.. M.
Keller presented himself as the accredited 'delegate from
the Bsnod of Pennsylvania, and was fraternally
received.
From the report of the retirinetressurer, Rev. L. R.
Albert.' it armoured that the following amouats passed
through hie, hands, daring the current year.' viz
Synodical purpesee, $214 25 • 'Home Afiesions, $ 630 84 ;
Foreign Missions ; $335 42 ; itduria tion, $1,490.84. it is
to be observed, however, that these sums ,are tar from
fornisbing.an exhibit of all the financial operations of
Synod, as some of the largeet congregations themselves
disburse their money,, and they - hence do not pose
through the channel of Synodical disbursement.
A consioetable portion of the time of Synod was occu
pied in agreeing to a Rubric for the public services of the
sarictnary. The- complaint is becoming general; that
there, exists' in the order of services in the Lutheran
Church 'an almost interminable diversity, and, hence
many aro laboring, with ehligent :zeal, , zto bring- about
some kind of nuffornitty. .This is designed to. impart to
the Lutheran Church, and especially to its sanctuary
services, a more distinctive character. At the.eession
held last year at Germantown. the subject was given in
charge of a committee, who made report, and which was
n,•vv acted on'. The Rubric of the General Synod syn . '
revised, and an order of service agreed on by this body,
which is to be observed by the churches in connection
with it.
' A large amount of education and home missionary
business was transacted, and the anniversaries of these
societies were celebrated, at which Item Briber and
Falhe delivered addresses. •
Much time was occupied in the receptiOn of the petro•
chial reports frem the various charges, together with the
State manta of the motors, verbal and written, on the
elate of religion Many of these reports exhibit a highly
encouraging relitione aspect, others the reverse, and oil
have &offend, to a greater or less extent, from the loss
of members by reason of eni etments •in the war. But,
notwithstanding these hindrances to the growth of con
aregational prosperity, it is evident from the reports that
the Divine blessing atilt refits on the churches connected
with this Synod ; and that, ae a body, it is by no moans
retrograding, but is still enjoying a healthy and sp atify.
lug increase. Catechization- end Sabbath School labor
ere well attended to, and, in many charges, special sea-
Eoni of grace have been enjoyed, and the liberality of
the churches, too, hes been encouragiogly developed.
On Tuesday evening, in the presence of a large au
dience,' by the eolemn act of ordination, ( 4 the laying on
of bends," the following named brethren were formally
set apart to the work of the Gospel atinistry, viz : Revs.
Samuel Laird, Johnson R. Grog, William E. Crebs,
Theophilue Honig, and O. J. Keedy. The discourse on
the occasion' wee preached by. Rev 0. P. Kranth The
licenses of Revs. A. Shertz, blosheim Rhodes, and M.
G. Rhrhart, were severalty renewed. .
As is usually the case, much of the time of Synod was
again occupied with the consideration of disagreements
between congregations sod pastors belonging respectively
to this body ano the Pennsylvania di nod. Both synods
occupy the same territory, with no boundary lines what
ever, and hence collision, are of, frequent occurrence.
Those which claimed the attention of the body this year
were the cases of Zion's Church, in Bucks county, and
the Jonestown charge, in Lebanon county. To adjust
these, end guard against others, various propositions
were offered ; one; by the former ,resident (Dr. &les)
providing for the appointment of a Board of Arbitrators,
to be composed of so equal number of both bodies, with
full power to act on all these cases, and pronounce a final
decision: Another plan is to fuse the two synods, and
then divide geographically.
After a protracted discussion, on motion of Rev. L. B.
Albert, it was finally revolved, that a committee of five
be appointed to meet a similar committee from the Penn
sylvania Synod, :to shall be entrusted for final set-
Dermot the etiatutig dispute between the two . Synods;
cornand that this e be also a committee of conference
to take into comideration the union of these two El panda,
and report at the next meeting of our Synod. On motion
of Dr. Seies, 4 lt was reso.ved that the above committee,
when appointed, shall, immediately confer with the pre
eideny of,the Pennsylvania Synod on the subject of the
applApt of a similar comtnittee'on the part of that
body. the part of the Beat Pennsylvania Synod the
following Eommittee'was appointed: Revs. Hatter, Green
wald, Fink, Willard, and Valentine,
St. illerk's Church, Philadelphia, through its delegate,
L. L. Bonet, withdre w from this body, to connect with
the Synod of Pennsylvania. On the other hand, three
newly organized congtegations were received.
.Rev..Ebrhart made a report on' the condition of the
EI113181:18 Orphan House, at Middletown. P. There are
now twenty-two orphan. children in the institution, in
charge of Prof. John T. Son. Since toe last session of
Synod, its prospects have materially brightened.
A direvor in the Theological Seminary, at Gettysburg,
was balloted for, to supply the place of L L Houpt,
hiaLinEil to another body. The ballot:, resulted in
`tHA'cleoloe,ot ehriiiitaitikerslG.si:of. Jobsgalltt
'Philadt !phis.
The Female Seminary at LutherviPc Md., :was com
mended to favor, and Bey. Dr. Rranth al:whited vi;
sitar. The same action was taken•in- remiril to the Fe
male Seminary at Selinsgrove, Pa, and Rev. T. T. Titus
appointed vis itor.
Delegates to corresponding bodies were. apprdnied as
follows : To the Sinai of Pennsylvania, Bee. M. Valen
tine; to the West Pennsylvania Synod, Key Dr Dor
sey ; to the Central 83 nod of Pennsylvania, Rev. Bibb;
to the fdaryland,nynod, Boy. 0. J. Ehrhart.
On the Sabbath al tenant of the session, the Holy Sa
crament of the Lord's Supper was administered, the
members of Synod, together with those of the Church,
and others participating. The sermon et the prenaratery
services was preached by Be' ' : George Parson of Money,
and that at the Supper itself by Boy. Dr. Greenwald of
Easton. Most of the evangelical pnlnits in the city were
filled, morning and evening, with east acceptance, by
member* of the Synod . ta itch other tusinese.Was trans
acted. but , as it was mostly of a local character, we omit
it. The session was-.en interesting one, and all present
profi seed thrmarives• well pleased "with what was done.
The neat meeting is to be held on the evening of the last
Wednesday in September,lB63, in the church of Rev. T.

The Impending Draft
To the Editor of The Press:
818 In a a table. published in this morning's twine,
you' show conclusively that . Philadelphia has furnished
far more men to our volunteer army, than. is accredited
to her.. Now, as
,you there state, we are willing to do
ear share, as d more than oar share of this work, to put
down *and eed this unholy war. We have poured out the
blood of thcinsands of our sons. Within the' last sixty
days a million of money has been subscribed by. oar
city, end by the private citizens, and thousands of dol
lars daily find their way into the hospitals, and certainly,
after all we have done and are doing, we are hot satisfied
with the return of less than twenty thousand men as
having entered Pennitylvania regiments . . fr.= this city.
By your statement, over thirty-three thousand men have
enlisted in regiments formed in Philadelphia, and cer
tainly it is reasonable to suppose that the mai )rlty of
Ureic ;We from our oast CM. When so greet a disuse-'
palmy exists, certainly the matter should be thoroughly
sifted. If this bad occurred to New York, before twenty
four hours had passed some arrangement would have
been made, by State or city Government, to testlhe
matter, and why not bare • The rolls of Philadelphia
regiments are open to examination, and in a very few
*bows, by such examination, the truth could be proven.
If. Philadelphia has furnished but nineteen thousand
men, for regiments of this State, the citizens have been
grossly misled, brit. if she has furnished more than this
.she should a credit for the whole number. Let-our
Governor or Mayor Fleury , see to this. We wish to do
our wholeAut, In the matter, but we do not wish others
to have the glory of our acts. Our city has certainly
done as well as any other city in the Union, but by the
statement of oar assessors we are far behind all our sister
cities. This Is not eo. Let it be looked to. Our citizens
"are dissatisfied; they wish their city to have the honor
and credit for her efforts. Lot the draft come for twenty
or fifty thousand, and let it be filled if necessary, but do
not allow our city to be saddled with any more than her
just proportion. ' , .
I am, sir, very truly, yours..

if the city Councils would meet at once, and lend a help

worth years! Yet those sleepy " :att.( re" intend to wait

To'-the Editor of The Press :
sy t it : Call after call has been made upon the delight:ere
of tbM land for lint and bandages to bindlip the wounds
and Ircerations of our fighti-g men. It is quite unne
cessary to state bow. nobly all such demands have been
met Now, we propose to let the command go forth that
the surplus power of each faithful hands should be ex
pended on the formation of cartridges If our Preajdeat
cannot immediately call forth the men destined for draft
ing for want of arms, let him demand of every competent
town in the Union a certain amonnt of masculine labor
expended in the roannfactme of - dlnekets, and require of
the ladies cartridges In <proportion. If the order ware
bottled immediately, and the most rapid execution re
quired, we could have en army arrayed in a week that
might well overawe and anblne our audacious enemy. It
..
might be argued against this proposibon that such men
wtmld require drilling. We answer that a very - mall
almaunt of drilling would suffice for en sit a time as this—
even a woman can fire a gun In an emergency. Let haste
end despatch be the Words, end if men are to be dr.fted
lot all help to arm at.d Bend them on before the accursed

AMary Suggestion
To the'Edfior. of The Preu :
t :I do not want to propose plans to those in Ruth°.
thy, but the foll.,wing idea seems so probable that I can
not help making it public. Our purpose is to put down
rebellion, and if the following plan is followed I think.we
- m
can be miceini I am, myself, an army ollicerrand
know the ground I speak of, having been scooting over
it ever Shin the rebels left it, last spring. Wa have a
large army at Washington, divided into three portions ;
rend one.portton to meet the rebels in Maryland, keep
one-third of it (ray the greenest troop) to defend Wash
ington, ondnu; lagnabiag, third send along the Hoe of
the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, to the ground 'attar
occupied by Gen. Pope's army, and from there lot them ,
march to Richmond. The rebels io Maryland. under Lee,
• will immediately fall bark to defend Richmond. There
are now nc troops in Richmond. and if we can once get'
posseaelon we strike a blow to the rebel canna that they
can never recnver frnn. Even though they may succeed
in Maryland, fora short time, It 'is more necessary that
we should have Richmond than it is that they should
have Maryland-

God in Our Hibtory
To the Editor of The Press:
Fut: Is a word on the question of God in our national
mists out of place in the columns of a daily newspaper !
Why ehonld it be? Whether to the type or. not of the
paper, it is in the harts of many. very many. readers.
Is not God to be owned in national affairs? Even heathen
affirmed it, (vide Creser de Bell. Gall, and Cicero °rat.)
The heathen shipmati s of Jonah, in the storm, came to.
the sleeping prophet and cried : upon thy
God. if so be that Gild will think upon ns, that we perish
not " Ton ate not expected to preach a sermon in your
coltmos ; but is it not proper that all, especially now,
should own God in our nation's trial, and humbly crave
His mercy 7 God in history" is a maxim. s. He ruletb
in thet ins& nt of men" is a truth declared in the Bible.
Should not our national authorities be moved to appalnt
a fast for our whole people? Have we not occasion to'
col.fees before God pride, and selfishness, and vain coofi
deuce, abuse of mercies, and many other sine? If we
humble ourselves, not in the fear of man, but of God,
though men may speak of it to our ehame, God will not
overlook our prayer, but may show great mercy and
Dowel...in our national salvation Ta a enggeation so ob
viously right my came could add ny weight.

to find in my precinct that the whole number, enrolled as
liable to draft. or military duty, is 637—enlisted 78, while
the total vote at the lest Presidential eleition was only
348 for all four candidates. How is this ?: the nun ber

klr Editor, no loyal man can complain' at making a draft
.be • All up our armies, but justice to all demands that it
dual be made from Agues that can be depended on. In
this precinct my three immediate nelghbore (each over 50

no' doubt if this is the cam in my immediate vicinity, it
is so . throughout the whole precinct, and by this means
(enrolling persons non-liable) the total is swelled to the
figures named, thus making it appear that. we• have a'
