TEE.WAR
Tan advance of the rebel army from Frederick
to TiagerstoWn, where it had taken up its position,
by the latest accounts, would seem to explode the
theory that Baltimore or Washington had been
aimed at as points of attack. Perhaps the enemy
feared to risk battle with out forces which
were arrayed in front before him,
Doubtless he. saw that with numbers so
nearly equal, his aflame of a ,decided vie
tory ware anything but encouraging, and that
anything but a decisive victory would be a most
deeisive discoinfiture , if not fatal to his darling
schemes, on the very threshold of their develop
meat. But, whatever his reasons, he has
, turned
his gaze from the Federal capital, and is now
marching for the capital ,of our State. He
marches, not with his army swelled to twice
its numbers r as he bad confidently expect
ed, but disappointed, demeraltzed, and baffled.
Re is marching headlong into danger, of which he
now can have but small conceolon, and each mile
of his advance finds him weaker, from the neces
sity of keeping open his communication with
the, main army, now said to be at Leesburg.
Hagerstown Is less than ten miles from our
Southern border. Why does he hesitate to cross?
He knows too well that our people have not b ten
idle in the meanwhile. He knows that the experi
ment is one which, if it fails, roust Shatter the last
hope of the rebellion ; and he fears that he may
be overwhelmed and utterly crushed by the mere
preponderance of numbers He cannot call masked
batteries to his aid in the struggle whieh his despe
ration compels Whim to invoke ; nor can his most
skilful generalship avail, when every avenue of
escape has been closed by out solid legions. These
truths press home upon his shrewd convic
tions, and so perplex his judgment, that he
has determined to cut the gordian knot by risking
all on one mad enterprise. He cannot turn back
ward now. Let him come forward, therefore, to
Ohamberaburg, or Harrisburg, if he will ; bat let him
first turn upon his heel, and with a parting glance,
bid his last good-bye to the sacred sod of Virginia.
Our friends in Cineinpati are still preparing to
meet the foe, and it is not at all improbable that a
battle may yet be fought for the possession of the
Queen City of the West. It is gratifying to know,
however, that every preparation has been made to
resist any attack that may be made upon that city,
and that no fears can be entertained for its safety.
The whole rebel scheme of invading the loyal
States is in fact proVing a grand failure. Ohio is
amply able to defend her soil, Pennsylvania is
gathering and arming her freemen by tens of thou
sands to hurl back the rebel hordes, Maryland re
mains steadfast'and loyal to the Oaten, and Ken
tucky, though overrun by the rebel Strinitre, is atut
undismayed, unfaltering in her devotion to the cause
and as earnest in its support and advecaey as ever.
The rebels, no doubt, have invaded Kenticky for
the twofold purpose of making a diversion in favor
of the rebel army in Virginia and of sapp - ying
themselves generally with men and other neces
saries. But our new levy has enabled us to furnish
the loyal army in Virginia with all the reinforce
ments it needs or can manage, and at the same time
to overmatch any rebel force that can be thrown
into Kentucky, so that invasion of that State will
make no sensible diversion whatever in favor of
the rebel army in Virginia.
THE NEWS
Nzw likvzx hks raised her quota of 662 men
without a draft. Wednesday, o ther last day, the
money was poured out like - water by the citizens ao
reach this patriotic and honorable result. Five
over the requisite number were secured, and hand
some private bounties made to all.
GENERAL DOBLADO, one of the warmest support
ers and defenders of Juarez, has resigned his seat
in the Mexican Oebinet—as we learn by the arrival
of the Ooltimbia, at New York—and, together with
Oomonfort, it is, whispered, is about to inaugurate
still another revolution. in. the North, and declare
the States south of the, i tTrixted Statesan'iiale
pendent Republic.
A numnEn of rebel guerillas made their appear
atm at the mouth of Salt river, on the Ohio, on
Sunday list, and then disappeared. The object of
the raid was, no doubt, to capture a number of
store boats that bad been lying there for some
time, but they had been removed before tip rebels
made their appearance.
Two GlrfrflOATS have been ordered to ply between
Louisville and the mouth of the Wabash river, to
keep the river clear of rebels. Two other gun
boats will be'assigned to the same service shortly.
IN our local columns will be found full details of
local military moveinents, which have begun once
more to assnine Considerable briskness: The call
for fifty thousand men meets with general favor,
and will be promptly responded4e.
WE devote much of our apace—but not more
than the serious importance of the subject : war
rants—to the threatened invasion of our Common
wealth. The excitement in the border counties,
and, indeed, in Harrisburg, Lancaster, and other
interior cities, is intense, though the people
gene
rally are not apprehensive.
The Call to Anne.
The proceedings in Councils yesterday, the
message of the Mayor to that body, and the
proclamation of the Governor, as printed this
morning, will remind the people of Philadel
phia that the hour has at last come for the
performance of the noblest duty that can
devolve upon an American citizen. The
presence of a large rebel army within a
morning's ride of our_southar,i..--1---risa
nat.,...ay-cailirea great apprehension among
the people. While every strategical reason
might be adduced in opposition to the idea
that the enemy contemplated an invasion
of Pennsylvania, it is enough for us to
know that his army is composed of desperate
men, commanded by desperate , generals, and
embarked in a desperate cause. Tf is enough
for us to know that • the army is within striking
distance of Pennsylvania's soil, within sight
of free homes, and oppressing a loyal people.
The proclamation of his Excellency the Go
vernor, and the response of his Honor the
Mayor, can leave no doubt in the rabid
of every tiue citizen as to the duty
that devolves upon him. This day will be a
play of preparation in every part of Pennsyl
vania. Twenty thousand men are lammed front
Philadeiphia to ckfend the Busguehanna. - Fh;
must be famished at once; and the llfayo r
Jrequests that every citizen should assemble d tt
e'en o'clock this ' morning, at his precinct home,
and proceed to the place of genera/ rendezvous.
We must prepare for the field of bittle.
We can no longer • close our eyes to' the
fact that war, grim-visaged and terrible, i s
fast pressing upon us. Thus far it has
been nothing more than a mere campaign
in Virginia, a bloody battle on the Penin
sula or the complicated movements of
great 4rmies in the distant West, Wow has

been to us the going forth of thousands of
stalwart men in the hey-day of life and happi
ness; the coming home of thousands ; of

fering, and covered with 'honorable
We have been away from the real scenes.
We have witnessed none of their hor
rors. We have lived our busy round of
life—irs pleasures ; its sorrows, its gayeties,
and charms—as though peace reigned over
the land, • and: 'the people were at rest.
By a dispensation of Providence, however,
our armies have been prevented from ac
complishing the task assigned them, and a
rebel army, numbered by tens of thousands,
has crossed into a loyal State, and is now on
the threshold of free territory.' What that
army will do, no one can tell. What it may
do, his Excellency the Governor is endea
voring to prevent.
What can we say in a time like this, when
words are meaningless, and our exhortation
can be little more than sound and fury, siget:
fytng nothing? The danger that hangs over
us. ranst speak for us. The * anticipation of
rapine arid desolation, the fear. that civil
liberty may beswainped in 'this awful fined—
all admonish us to respond to this great call.
Leltvery man who can bear a musket assem
ble to-day at the designated rendezvous,
at,d hold himself ready to march. Whe
ther old or young, rich or poor, if
he has nerve, and sinew, and stout limbs,
let him fall into line. Pennsylvania must
•
defend herself from the invader. We have
men 'enough in our valleys and fields, in
our streets and. workshops; to roll back the
haughty enemy into the Potomac. Let there
be a general and instantaneous rising to artns.
Let us feel the enthusiastic spirit ot other
days, and,:remembering that - we have a cause
as precious as that which animated our fathers,
endeaVor to imitate their glorious 'example.
• Citizens of Philadelphia! Let this be a
prondMoment in your history ! The Repub
lic is in danger; your State is about te be in.
waded; your country calls upon 'you for as
vsistance. We know that you will do your
duty, Lke freemen !
The Duty of the Flour.
It is of vital consequence to the people
of Pennsylvania, and particularly of Philwiel
phia, that they should have a correct Under:
standing of the dangers of their preient posi
tion, and of the duties which now devolve
upon their patriotitm. Unless they fully ap
preciate the magnitude of the peril waich
confronts them, their efforts to repel it must
necessarily be made at random, and success,
which might be a probability, becomes a mere
possible contingency. They surely will not
incur this risk which may prove fatal;:they
surely are intelligent, and can understand how,
in a certain critical juncture, apathy is treason,
and supineness the most despicable cowardice.
'As they would avoid either stigma, and main
tain the honor of their Commonwealth unsul
lied, let them arouse and hasten to the field at
once. Let every inch of Pennsylvania's soil
be as sacred in their regard as the soil of lade
perdence Square—to be guarded just as
jealously from the pollution of invasion's
tread—to be hallowed, if the need be, by memo
ries just as thrilling, and a devotion to the.
common good, as sslf.samificing and complete
as any that our history ever has produced.
This is the solemn duty of the hoar, which
may not be evaded, nor postponed till a more
convenient season.
Con they not instinctively perceive that
promptness is one-half the battle, and that an
hour devoted to the defence of their homes
to-day, will be worth infinitely more than ihe;
devotion of ten thousand men herdafter? neir
only hope of safety lies in- the present hour;
the work of the past has been of no avail.
The Governor of the State has called on them
for fifty thousand men—cannot thrice fifty
thousand step:forward in response ? If they
can, There will be work enough for them to
do. If' they repulse the invader, • they,zill
do but balf their duty, and must constantly be
under arms, and on the alert, to prevent his
return. They have not only to detend their
homes, nor only to prevent the flag of treason
from floating over Pennsylvania so' 1. They
must capture or annihilate The foe. „His teme
rity must be visited with a swift and terrible
retribution. The reverses of the past, the
honor of our ; Union, and the memories of our.
slaughtered blythren t must _be_aveneed.
hour - to - retriev - e — Ord errors is upon us. Let us,

Base Money
Imitating the historical example of JAMES
the Second, who issued brass half-crowns in
Ireland in. 1689, whereby coin valued half a
cent had the nominal value of sixty cents, the
Confederate Congress has voted $200,000 for
the purpose of coining copper mosey, much
alloyed,
I to the extent of $5,000,000. This
will be the most extensive cheat of modern
times. One cent, by this process; will be ele.
rated to the value of twenty-five, and thus the
Confederate coinage will vie in worthlessness
with its utterly valueless paper Money. This
shows as much as any thing else, what straits
the rebels are in. They might as well issue
coin Made of sold-leather as this depreciated
currency, which is to consist of five, ten, and
twenty-five cent tokens, 'in alloyed copper.
This ought to convince the South of its utter
want of pecuniary means for carrying on its
rebellion.. Base money, issued by authority,
is the last despairing effort of a bankrupt
treasury.
Hon. W. D. Kenny. •
The Times, a sprightly and influential news
paper printed at 'Portland, Oregon, makes the
following complimentary allusion to the Hon.
W. D. KELLEY, the member from the Fourth
district The friends of Judge KELLEY will
be glad to see that his ability and services ar e
appreciated even to the uttermost ends of the
Republic
" We present our readers this morning with the
speech of Hon. Wm. D Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
delivered in Congress May 9, on=the Pacific Rail
road. His remarks are very able, and will psy
well for their perusal. He is evidently a common
sense man, and handles the question in a clear and
practical manner. All who have watched the
progress of feeling in. Congress on -this subject
will take a sp ecial interest in reading the speech
of Mr. Jitney, if for nothing else, simply• because
he was one of the first movers and advocates of a
railroad across the con inent.'
"Be says that, notwithstanding our national em
barrassments, now is the most propitious time that
could possibly occur to set the , work in active head
way ; that we would not feel the expenditure ne
cesary to begin the work; thit it would cost ac
tually nothing the first year and the expense would
never amount to a serious obstacle'; the benefit of
the railroad would, accrue chiefly to posterity, and
they could well afford to pay the principal if .we
but set the thing on foot. This is sensible talk ;,..we
like it, and .recommend it to the attention of oar
readers."

Lion of Federal forces-in thid vicinity does not allay the
alarm. The Secessionists and 44 halt-and-half men

THE EMEIVIrENCY !
Movements Among our Local Military
Our city at present has the appearance of a vast mill
'tary encampment. Each day witnesses more activity
and bustle open our etreets. The sound4f the drum and
:fife le • heard at any moment, tip to a late hour at night,-
and all are slowly realizing what the greet stir and excite
ment, constantly taking place around them, indicates.
Everything pertakes of a military nature. Iu our civic
bodies and , assemblages the topic .of the day is military.
Every item of news we read is relative to the military
and the movement of troops, and it is a matter of impossl
biliry to write upon any other subject than this. The
newepapere, it seems, have been leased to the military
authorities, and the editors and reporters have laid poli
tica on the shelf, and are using their pens in defence of
a more noble canoe.
The ecene at our different armories is indeed a plea.
sant one. While some may be observed engaged in
drilling new enrolled Needs In the facings, dtbere are
going through the manual Of the nrms. Toe roil-books
are fart filling up with the names of aome of our hest
citizen's. All seem awakened, and are aware of the daa- ,
ger that now threatens us. The people aro willing to lay
down their lives in defence of their native soil, but are
sorely nonpluesed, and do not know how to act or whom
to ask'for advice. Teem appears to ho no single one who
is clothed with that authority 'which be should have In
an emergency like this. Yet all seem satisded with their
efforts, which, however, would bo increteet a hundred •
fold !sere this evil remedied. .It is- to be lioped, how
ever, that every barrier will be removed, and nothing
wilt be, left undone to promote the lendable work In
which cur citizens are now engaged Space our last is
sue, the following bait transpired :
REGULATION OF THE MILITIA
As steps are now being taken to organize military
companies under the Btate Jaw. of 185E1, we make the fol.
lowing brief reference to its provisions:
All able.bodied citizens between the ages of twenty one
and forty-five, not extmpled by the laws of the United
tiiktes, are subject to military duty. The militia of the
state is Civided into tweet, divisions, each county to form
a brigade, to be numbered in the divisions, and to con
form se nearly as possible to the regnlatious of the United
Sierra. A regiment may consist of live companies.
To organize a company it is necessary that not less
than thirty- twOnien, rank and' file, volunteer, - aud
plaseut their roll to the brigade inspector, who will in•
spent and organize them. •To every company there must
tie, if cavalry, one captain, one dot and one Woad
lientioat tome one cornet; artillery companies, one cap
tain, Iwo first and one second lieutenant; infantry and
rifle coMpai RV, one captain, one first ai.d one second
lieutenant. Ip addition to the coltuni.siot ed officers, every
company shill elect one quartermester-sergeant. Jour
sergeants and four corporals; arms and neQe:stary equip-•
melds will be turnishea by the State on the requisition of
the tonitnauder•iu-cbief or brigade inspector.

'not inconsistent with the litv,• for the government and
improvement of its milnbers in military science. W beta
called into active servi x+. either on a relictivition from
the... President of the United States, or under the.
orders of the Governor of this Bute, the officers and
privates will receive the like pay and rations as are or
eball be alloWed by the United States to the regular
army at the time they shall be in service. It id the
privilege of the militia to elect their own officers, field
end line. • • • • •
