to ARM—TO ARMS
OFFICE OF THE MAYOE
OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA,
• June 29; 1863.
'Citizens of Pltiladelphict
One more appeal is made to
. You in the
name of Duty and of Manhood.
You can close your eyes no longer to the
startling danger and disgrace which hang
over your State and City. The foot of the
rebel is already at the gates of your Capitol,
and unless you arouse to instant action, it
may in a few days hence cross your own
threshold.
There is yet time to prepare for defence.
ou number more than fifty thousand able
bodied men,-the means to arm and equip
yourselves are at hand.
Close your Inanufactories, workshops, and
stores, before the stern necessity for common
safety makes it obligatory. Assemble your
selves forthwith for organization and drill.
Come ready to devote.yourselves to the pro
tection of your homes until your services
shall be no flonger needed. Spurn from
you those who would delude you to inac
tivity or disaffection. Their tongues and
hearts are more false and hateful than even
the inuadery of your soil. Let no one refuse
to arm who will not be able to justify him
self before•man and God in sight of a deso
lated hearth or of a dishonored family.
ALEXANDER HENRY,
Mayor of Philadelphia.
THE INVASION.
There are a few men in Philadelphia—
and they have long since passed the limit
assigned to_human,life—who can . recall' such
a day as yesterday. Many years have
passed, generations have come and gone,
since the people of Philadelphia waited an.
invading army, and counted thermiles that
•divided their homes from the 'destroyer..
Hearty, hale, and genial old gentlemen still
tell us, with a lusty laugh, - how, in the war
of 1812, an attack was .dreaded, and men
dug rifle-pits and fortifications at Fairmount,
and at-Gray's Ferry, and at the Passyunk
road. 'But the danger then was little more
than a holiday sport, and, could scarcely be
called serious. It was not so in the Revo
lution, when General HOWE -reviewed the
British troops in our streets. It is not so
now. _ Those whose memory goes back
to those days could . tell us that even
4hen, yhiladelphia, weak and puny as she
was, knew how to resist an invading enemy.
It May be that, in this present time, we
have not shown the alacrity manifested by
our fathers ; that we have failed to exhibit
what is called the" Spirit of Seventy-six" ;
that se have been slow, apathetic, unbe
lieving-rtoo fond of sleep and merchandise.
It may be that we have permitted political
dissensions to interfere ; that we have been
Democrats and Republicans,when we sh mid
have known nothing hut the country. It
may be—although we blush even to speak
the stspicion-that there are- men ... whose
hearts are-witythose who are
who
upon
us with l an- sword, and who Mock the
fear& lof the,;atuofic;,inca

Think, hate seen the denger,..A.arepre,
paring to meet it.
The Philfidaluhl
y o -
The spirit we saw manifested yesterday was
- worthy of, ourselves and our 'pause. The
fife and druni drowned the noise of all busi
ness, pleasure, 'or society—.there was - no.
thing but marshalling .in. arms. Every
corner seemed to have been extemporized
into a recruiting-station . ; the air seemed
tremulous with flags, and the stores were
closed as on the Sabbath and the holiday.,
Our places of resort were so many camping
grounds, and where children prattled and
played a few hours before, stern men
marched and countermarched, and learned
the first lessons of war. Throngs of men.
crowded the streets, and eager thousands
looked longingly for the hourly bulletins
that were issued from the newspaper offices.
Everything seemed to yield to the general,
danger—men postponed engagements and
pleasures, and buying and 'selling. Our
Union League, after having made the ar
rangernents for one of the grandest displays
on the coming holiday ever seen in the
state, at a meeting yesterday morning
abandoned the project, and are now giving
their energies to the cause. Already one
regiment has been organized by the mein
bers, 'and others may follow. The clergy-
linen did not think it beneath their holy
' calling to wait upon the Mayor and tender
their services in the entrenchments. Cotton
mills, and large establishments where many
xnen were employed, stopped, and the em
ployees formed into companies—and on
store ~windows and doors the crisp and
'jrompt announcement "away to drill," ac
counted foi the cessation of business. It
- .
was a day to be remeMbered, and the years
will come when it will be proudly spoken of
to glistening eyes around happy hearths and
'homes.
If we would be worthy of happy homes,.
let us continue to show this enthusiaitic and
deioted spirit. The hours are precious.
LER is on, the Susquehanna, eating the fat
:neis of the land, and looking . proudly on
Philadelphia. The capture of this 'metro : .
polls would give him millions of money,
equipments for a new army, stores, and
food, and ammunition enough for a new
+campaign. It would give, his cause a pres
tige worth more than all combined'; it
would be. o .us :a humiliation and a shame.
Let us resolve that this shall, not be so, or,
at ; least, that Philadelphia shall not fall
,
'without a manly effort being made for its
defence. -We can-die but once, and surely
InIxo ; holler 'cause than that. of our homes
And firesides.

burg or PhilaAfentral railroad has been
the f,oreflidaterday a train ran within
#llVra i . Hanover Junction'; but even
4th9Pwas a hazardous undertaking. This,
howeY,er, is, what we may expect. LEE is
massing his forces along the river, and is
threatening many points, while'preparing to
strike at some point where his power will
be overwhelming. There,: a general feel
* ing of alarm along the';whole river, and
the Pennsylvania railroad is regarded as
in imminent danger. The bridge at Mount
Union—a point near Himtingdon—is Me
tiaced by guerillas, and we should_ not be
surprised if an attempt were made to burn
it this:evening. A despatch from high au
thority in Harrisburg, received last evening,
states 'that Govern ors has positive
information that LEE .whole army isk in
this State, and thkt-aipukin COMMA . 4 •,,
z l . The
*
rebels, the Governor also - thought, „ e:iit
lickt
tempting,to cross et,piirtbridgi, - .od a, .the
same time approanling Perryville. •As,
Perryville is beyond Harrisburg, While ,,
„ .
Bainbridge is on this side se movements
side, these
indicate that LEE is endeavoringto invest
Harrisburg on either flank, and finis attempt .
to take the city in the rear, while he avoids
the fortifications beyond the river. Harris
burg itself was awaiting.' an attack,. while
cannonading was heard at the fortificatiens
beyond. The Governor also possessed reli
able information to. the effect that the rebels
had three hundred 'guns.
The rumors that, an advance ,had been
made upon Havre-de-Grace are not con
firmed. It is hardly= probable that if one
portion of LEE'S force is menacing Mount
Union, while another is - endeavoring to cross
the Susquehanna as high up as Bainbridge;
.that he could - spare any troops to annoy
Havre-de-Grace—particalarlY as our gun
boats can ascend, the. Susquehanna at this'
point, and thus control the river. The - fall
ing back upon York is a temporary Con
centration of force—for, haying b'urned the.
Wrightsville bridge, there was no use in re
maining in front of Columbia. We have
not seen enough of LE - E's manceuvres to
enable us to divine his plans. He will
probably destroy the Northern Central rail
road in order to prevent any communication
between Harrisburg - and Baltimore, and, if
possible, cut the Pennsylvania •Central, iu
order to isolate Philadelphia from Harris
burg and the West , Having done this, he
may take his own time in devastating the bor
der counties, and, mounting his infantry on
the horses of these rich and teeming districts,
advance, by easy stages, .on Philadelphia.
It is certain that his army of invasion is
now advancing in movable columns, living
on the country, and without any direct com
munication with Richmond: We know that
this is the most hazardous chance of war, but
it is very much like the plan adopted by
Lord RAGLAN when he landed on the Cri
mea. • If the Allied armies could live on the
barren fields of Orlin Tartary, there is no
thing to prevent the rebel army from -
living
upon the rich valleys of Pennsylvania.
Where is the. - Army of the Potomac?
According .to the latest advices it had
crossed the Potomac, and was thrown in
front of Baltimore and Washington. This
virtually transfers the campaign into Mary
land, and, perhaps, when hostilities com
mence, we .shall have bulletins-of-War from
the Susquehanna, just, as we have had them
from the Rappahannock.' This - we must
makeup our minds to see, and if we see no
more than this we may be grateful. The
more closely we look at this news the more
painful it appeare.• The rebels are massing
themselves for some vigorous movement.
They have come to the Susquehanna, but it
is with nointention of resting content upon
its banks. The . danger of Philadelphia is
veiy great We'are glad to see the people
are rising. The city must be defended, and
we Must defend it ourselves. •
The Army of the Potomac.
It might be impossible for us to give
the reasons for the existence of such a
feelini, but it is very certain that the
confidence of the Army of the Poto
mac in . General HOOKER had become seri
ously ;impaired. His removal was there
fore a necessity -beyond the control_ of the
Administration, and no one seems to have
felt it more deeply than General Hoor..F.n
himself. " Impressed with the belief," says
General HOOKER, "that my usefulness 'as
the commander of the Army of the Po
tomac is impaired, I part from it, yet not
without the deepest emotion." In the
country and in the army there existed great
animosity toward General HOOKER. It is
the fate of frank and brave men to excite
animosity, and General HOOKER has not es
caped. He seemed to - hold the Ungracious
position of a rival, and, 'whether unjustly or
not, every partisan or friend.of former ge
nerals became his enemy and critic.
.A great
party in the Northern StateS pia:de - enmity to
, Gen.`H.ooji"Ert a part of their political creed,
d 13 0," hks been attacked as no commanderin
the Union army had - ever Veen attacked
before. The misfortune of Cliencellorville,
hWer.lmovi to have , been fault "or
neglect Greite:ral HooK*li, intensified:this
1
those *did only estimate
battles by their results, and suffer defeats to
obscure the highest qualities of the soldier
when; employed with unavailing effort. The
recent invasion of the State by the very
necessity of this combination of circum
stances, reacted upon General 1100 - EBn with
fearful effect.; and the efficiency of the
Arn3y of the Potomac accordingly made it
necessary that a new commander should be
chosen. So, that although the removal of
that general became unavoidable, we shall
still love to think of him as , a gallant, brave,
and earnest soldier, as the hero of many
fierce and, bloody fights, as a true friend 'of
the country and the Administration, as a
general who, whatever may be his faults, is
certainly one of the finest officers the Ameri
can army has known. His sword is still in
the service of his country, and the country
will not forget that it is the sword of Wil
liamsbuig, Fair Oaks, and Antietam. History
will speak of him, in the:words of General
141 - cCDEDDAN, as "that-most excellent officer
Major General JOSF.TIT ROOEER, who was
eminently conspicuous for his gallantry and
ability as a leader in several hard-fought
battles in Virginia."
The successor of Major General Hoomun
is Major General GEORGE GORDON MEADE.
General MEADE entered into this war as a
soldier, and has been a soldier for nearly
thirty years. He served in Mexico as an
engineer, and obtained distinction at Mon
terey. Since that time he has been con
itantly in the service, and the rebellion
found hiret'in the army, having risen by the
tedious, and lingering process to the rank, of
captain. When the great Pennsylvania
Reserve Corps was organized he assumed
!command of the third brigade, and. very
soon obtained the fame of being a just, se
vere, and accomplished officer. We may
claim General MEADE as a Philadelphian,
for although born in. Spain, while his father
was residing - temporarily, at Cadiz, he is a
member of an old and highly-respected Phi
ladelphia family, his grandfather, GEORGE
MEADE, being one of our most opulent and
generous citizens, while his father, the late
- ItronAßD W. MEADE, was a merchant of
large wealth. Geueral - MEADE married the
eldest daughter ortifelAto_lion. Jan.& SER
GEANT, and is a member of the Epizeurlai
Church. There'are few officers in, the army
who possess more military experience; and
in' addition to this, he is a just, honest,-high
minded man, intensely, loyal, and devoted
heart and soul` to the cause. He has ob
tained the confidence of the Army of the
POtomac by his valor rota his stern but
careful discipline, and we feel assured, from
what we know of, him, that he will jUstify
the highest expectations of the country.

The Amenities of war.
A powerful and respected nation; with a
l military establishment larger at the present
time than that of 'any - other country on
earth ; with all the force of military power
at our .disposal; with a righteous cause to
sustain us, :ad assure its of an ultimate
ftriumph ; and waging war that the autho
rity of the most benign government in the
world may be respected by all to whom it
!legitimately extends—with such a cause,
'end with such resources. as these, it becoraes
lu's tO be careful,Jest 'in somp,degree we , : in; . _
!sensibly permit these resources to be rats.v;
;applied, and this cause to be injured or.dis
,graeed by a few injudicious men, whcf, in.
ftheir intense anxiety, to.serve the Polern
:ment would overstep the laws of justice
and military usage,.to which it has always
conformed. Unlike the enemy; iye have never
sanctioned the employment .of paytisan
rangers, never.violated flags of truce, never
wantonly destroyed property •of any de
s.cription.. It has been our aim never to do
violence to the , instincts ; of humanity, or to-
tile teachingi of 'ciill'iiitiolai'hifd it" has
been our sincere hope that the fearful strug
,...
' •
gle which we found precipitated upon Bus y
might never`assume a retaliatory character,'s
but might -rather be-so temperately combet
ed that When pea‘'returned to bless, the
land, conciliation would take the place of':
alienation in the breaSts of all men, North
and South. Oftentimes we have beeh sorely
tempted to swerve from the strict line of
duty by the wrongs and insults-that have
been put upon us ; by the wanton acts of
barbarity that have disgraced the rebel rule
in East Tennessee, and stained with blood
the story of the Richmond prisons. But
conscious that there no retribution so
terrible as Justice, we have patiently en
dured these things without making an at
tempt to repay our enemies in kind.
It-is with no little surprise and regret thit
we hear of an exception to this policy of
forbearance, which we have made our rule
of conduct. It is stated in, the papers that
Colonel MONTGOMERY, of Kansas notoriety,
has lately been making expeditions inland
from the coast of Georgia, has destroyed
'considerable private property, and has visited
devastation wherever he has marched his
troops. Colonel MONTGOMERY, appears to
have a peculiar ability, and considera'ble,
fondness for marauding ventures of this
description"; and we fear that these stories
of his exploits are not much exaggerated,
although they have' not yet been officially
reported. We hope that General Gr.L4onp,
just apPointed to command the. Department
-of the South, will - Prevent- the recur
rence of such disgraceful affairs, 'which
accomplish nothing toward weakening the
rebellion, but rather give it new strength,
by inspiring the people of the rebellious
States with feelings of revenge and hatred,
and imparting to their treasonable cause the
,aspect :of a struggle for. the protection of
those interests which the world cherishes as
sacred and inviolable. Our business is not
to fight women or children, or to lay waste
tracts of country, but to, disperse or crush
the rebel - armies. t. , -.11 1-11P411a necessary to
accomplish this end are perfectly legitimate.
We - may destroy bridges, tear up railroads,
and:do everything which can ;weaken the
rebel armies in the field, even though the
destruction or seizure of private property
should • thus become necessary. Farther
than this we cannot go'with justice ; and as
it haS been and ever should be our policy to
make justice the basis of our cause, swe
should be content with having gone thus far.
France, Meiico, and the South.
Intelligence of the fall of Puebla reached
Londonon June 11th. Mexican'stocks lin
mediatel3r. sprung up in price. One might
wonder at this, but an article in the Irish
Times, one of the best papers in Dublin,'
gives a clue to the mystery: It says : "This
fairly expresses the sense of the mercantile
and monetary. community.. The Mexicans
are indebted to British merchants in a sum
nearly - equal to 212,000,000; Agents sent
out to requeit payment even of the interest i
were locked up in prison, poniarded, or pis
tolled. Mexican Governments.were Usually
changed three times a year, and all that
one Governnient had promised. a succeed
ing Government repudiated... The - country
was in chronic state - of revolution for
years, and there was little hope that a firm
Government could be established by any
combination amongst the Mexicans. If
France holds the territory there is a proba
bility that the overdue bonds will in time
be paid."
What makes this more plausible is the.
fact, (noticed in THE PRESS nearly two yeais.,
ago,) that the movement against Mexico,
in which • France, - Spain, and England at
first united, was got up by Earl RUSSELL.
The Irish Times declares that, in our
anxiety to' carry out the Monroe doetrine,
we would have made the invasion of Mexico
a easus belli, provided the Southernrebellion
had not broken out or had been speedily
put down. It adds, what is very iMportant,
if true " There are many indications that '
the .vigorous ands long continued resistance
of the l4le icans pievented‘lhe Emperor of
closer Or—
As long as an army of 40,000 men
full occupation and stubborn opposition in
Mexico,,the Emperor would hesitate to in
volve' hiMself with another and more pow
erful enemy. Now that difficulty is re-,
moved, it is not probable that the Mexicans
can offer much resistance hereafter ; and the
Emperor in a month or two will have an
army of 40,000 men, tried and acclimatized,
on the frontier of Texas, ready to aid the
South, should his policy so guide him."

The Maryland Invasion.
It is said that one hundred and fifty colored men
were captured by the rebel cavalry at Edwards'
Ferry, yesterday, in addition to fifteen barges, load
ed with Government stores. The barges were burn

which consisted of:rations of all kinds,

The repOrts generally agree that a hundred negroes
were captured with the large train of wagons and
mules near Rockville on Sunday. A gentleman
had thirteen horses stolen from his stable in that
Vicinity. A large drove of very fine beef eittle,
grazing not far from Mechanicsville, in the same'
County, (Montgomery,) were'secured through the
vigilance of Col. BECKWITH, and at a wonderful
speed driven into Washington by a circuitous route
this morning. Two of our citizens who had visited
their farms in the neighborhood of Dranesvillehave
returned hither minus their carriages and horses,
which the rebels confiscate& They represent that
the enemy consisted of nearly 4,000 men,_with fifteen
pieces of artillery, under Gen. Frrz HUGH LEE.
They crossed the Potomac at Muddy Branch, taking
with them a number of Prisoner& All =the horses
and forage about Draziesville were seized by the
rebels.
The enemy's cavalry made their appearance in

seizing all the finest-horses, ,to take.the place of
their jaded animals. Some few of them showed
themselves as near Washington as Silver Spring
aboht Bite miles from the city, but did not
long. A party of the raiders this morning halted the
stage which connects with the railroad at Laurel,
taking Out the horses, but not otherwise interfering
with the drivers and passengers. Sandy, .Spring,.

HARRISBURG, June 29.--I have ascertained, on
inquiry at official quarters, the following authentic
particulars. They are all exact and reliable :
Nearly all of the rebel army, General Lee com
manding in person, is now in the State. Hill and
Longstreet, as well as Ewell, are at the - head of the
invading corps, so that it will be at once realized
that the whole rebel Army of Northern Virginia
are invading Pennsylvania.
The enemy are attempting to cross at Bainbridge,
but arebeing sharply resisted. A rebel force is also
approaching Perryville.
There was more cannonading at the fortifications
this afternoon. Every moment we expect attack r
but will meet it manfully.
We have respectable information that the enemy,
has three hundred and twenty guns. It may be
safely estimated that his strength in-artillery is at
least two hundred guns.
No time is to be lost. The work of arming,nhould
be carried on with vigor. _ W.

Yesterday will ever be remembered as an eventful
period in the history of Philadelphia. The princi

after midnight. All seemed to realize, at last, the
magnitude of the threatening danger, and every one
expressed his willingness to use his humble efforts
towards driving the invader from our soil. The
greatest exeitement ,prevailed. Citizens met at dif

were closed, and in the afternobn business gene

GIN. DANA AND THE MAYOR ADDRESS THE PEOPLE

In response to the call of his Honor the Mayor a
large niimber our citizens assembled at the various
police-Stations, and subsequently marched to Inde

gathering numbered several thousand. 'At that
time Mayor Henry, accompanied by Major General
Dana, made his Appearance, upon the steps at the
rear of Independece_Hall. - Both gentlemen were
greeted with loud 'cheering. -
Mayor Henry, when order was restored, said that
he did not appear to make a speech; but' merely to
introduce Major General Dana, who had been ap
pointed to the command of the defences of Phila
delphia. He then paid a high compliment to the
soldierly abilities of the General, and said that he
was a leader in whom everybody could :hal;reconfl

by his own requests but he should be faithful to the
trust committed to him to the extent of his ability.
He was , unable to express himself as he would like
to, as he had not time to think what to say. - He
took it for granted that every main present was a
loyal Man.,lf any man there was not loyal, he hid
no apology for the hate which he bore him; nor the
utter Scorn which he had for him.
. ,
He had a feeling of hatred against the South, and
thonaht that any man who did not hold a hatred
againit, the Soutberri - gentlemen, as they call thein
selves,\was not fit to be called an American. Have

ADJUTANT OENEEAL THOMAS AND BLACK
Adjutant General Thomas, of the United States
Army,was present at the meeting, v esterdiy morning
of the "Supervisory Committee for Recruiting Color,
ed Regiments," and expressed warm approbation of
the enterprise in which they were engaged. He de
sired to bear his hearty testimony to the value of
the black man as a soldier. He was a Southern
man, and his prejudices nad been opposed to black
enlistment. But his mind had undergone a radical
change. His late experience in the Southwest had
proved to him that the blacks make as good soldiers
ae thewhite, and, - in some respects, even better.
For picket duty they are peculiarly well qualified.
Fond of sleep, as the negro is represented to be, put
him on duty, as a sentinel at night and his wakeful
ness and watchfulness cannot be exceeded. lie
makes an admirable scout, and is especially adapted
to cope with the guerillas. He knows the country
and can tell where to find them. To illustrate their
fitness for this, duty the General related, the case
of a negro who was attacked by three armed
guerillas. Being fired at by one of them, he up
with his piece and shot the fellow through the
head, and then took the other two poisoners, with
their arms in their bands I General Thomas had
been present at the five hours' naval battle at
Grand Gulf, and on going aboard of the Commo
dore's ship, after the engagement, he found that a
large proportion of the gunners were black, and—
he should think—nearly one-half of the men on the
fleet were negroes. His observation and experience
at the Southwest bad satisfied him that in camp
and in field, in moral conduct and in soldier-like
bearing, there were no superiors to the blacks in
our entire army. He was now as heartily in fiiiror
as he had once been hostile to the policy of arming
the negro:
In order to secure the co-operation of the colored
people, Gen. Dana directed that they meet in their
different churches and organize for the defence of
their freedom and their homes.
The excitement, with the exception of a few
1 . 014 , 8, , the result of intoxication, was all that the
most patriotic of our citizens could desire. Compa
nies of solid mes marched up and down the streets
with determination to shame any person who stood
upon factious quibble or exhibited a lukewarmness
of disposition. Up to the midnight hour the streets
resounded with the roll of the drum and the squeak
ing of the fife. Many men, availing themselves of
the clear moonlight evening, kept up their march to
the music of the Union, calling upon the stragglers
on the sidewalk to go and enroll themselves, and
show their patriotism.

To the . Ectitor of The Press:
Sis: After reading the spirited editorial in this
morning's Pres; I resolved to submit to. you the fal
lowing plan, by which something might, be.done to
increase the , number of men for the defence of our
beloved Pennsylvania. - -
There are yet many occupations being carried on
by men, in which women might act as substitutes
during the present ernergency, and without, in the
smallest degree, compromising their dignity and
self-respect.
Let the conductors on the City Passenger RAM
ways enter the army for ninety daye, and, .guring
that: time, let the responsible women collect the
fares on the different routes, who shall be both able
and willing to hand over to the families Of such con
ductors thesame salsries,as if they were at home.
In this way; could we not raise one company of a
hundred men
Next, let the proprietors of the various post
routes delegate the delivery of letters to patriotic
women, in the same manner.
Let the drivers of milk wagons. and bakers' wa
gons be the wives and daughters, Instead of the
husbands and sons.
And, lastly, let each proprietor of a.large mercan
tile house try the exPerlment of having his hooks
kept in a female hand.
I, for one, would gladly offer my services as book
keeper, and I am authorized to say that several of
myfriends would unhesitatingly COriee fOrward to
