FROCURATION OF GOVERNOR, CURTIN.
HAltitlf Sept 4-1 P. K.—Governer Curtin has
just issued the following proclamation:
erentrioniosolth of Pennsy/vania, is
In the name and by the authority of the Common
wealth of Penneylvaela, ANDRXIT G, Clams, Governor
of eald • Ontimonwealth;
PROOL &MA vox.
Whereas, in the present poettion of affairs, It is ex-
I:client that measures should be taken to arm and pre. .
.pare our people for defence—
Now, therefore, I do earnestly recommend the Imme
diate formation, throughout the Commonwealth, of
volunteer companies and regiments, in conformity with
'the militia sot of 18.58. Arms will be distributed to the
-organizations so to be formed, 'agreeably to the provi
elope of that act.
It is further recommended that, in order 0 give doe
-opportunities for drill and instruction, all places 'of
business be eloried daily at three o'clock P. rd., so that
persons employed therein may, after that hour, be at
liberty to attend to their military duties. • •
The cheerful alacrity with which the men of Pennsyl
'Tanis have hitherto given themselves to the service of
*be country bee seemed heavily on her military re
bources. Tam reluctant to ask her to assume ranker
burdens ; but as their safety requires that they should
do so, it is in their behalf that I put forth the recom
mendations herein contained, and urge a promptcom
pliance aft them.
Given under my hand and the g7eat seal or the State,
at Barrieburg, this fourth day of September, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sig.
ty..two, and of the Commonwealth the eighty-seventh.

Beeretery of the Commonwealth
THE WAR
fins people are much disturbed at the recent
retrograde movement of our armies in Virginia,'
and the near approach of a desperate and wicked
enemy to our homes. We can assure them that
no apprehension need he felt until the rebels °row
the Potomac in force, which we believe to be
an impassibility under existing circumstances.
General Stonewall Jackson is moving towards the
Potomac, it is thought to a point, near Harper's
•Feriy, where he "will offer heavy battle, and
endeavor to draw our troops from below on
the Maryland shore; Longstreet will, in the
filleantime, force his way over the river into Mary
with the main body of the rebel army, move
. I
Tspidly upon Annapolis Juno tion and the Re
lay House, take possession of Baltimore, and
force the Government to surrender the na
tional capital and all the troops around it. Such
is the' rebel plan, it is said, and stupendous as it
may appear, we believe they will make a strong
effort to carry out the scheme. It will be their
last] and greatest act of impudence that our Go
vernment has submitted to during this outrageously
impertinent rebellion. The chivalry hope by this
move to humble us in the dust and force us to sue
for peace upon any terms, to take the capital,
scatter our army, steal our 'wealth, inaugurate
Jefferson Davis as President of the United States,
claim foreign recognition instantly, make is the
rebels, and turn things upside down, generally.
But if they shoUld not succeed in earryi.
out this grand design, they will march off
'" with whatever spoils they may be allowed
.to secure, and General, Leo will exc'aim
with Captain Bobadil, " I was panic-struck,
certainly." We have not been in the habit of
criticising the work of our. Government, or its
generals, of late, or tinkering their plans, but we
would like to make a su g gestion touching our
future movements: Let .an able fighting ge
neral head a , portion of tho army, and
' move upon the enemy, attacking him in
flank and rear, and thereby save the capital, stir
Op the enthusiasm of the people, thwart the enemy
in his designs, and perhaps send his army flying is
every direction, disorganized and demoralized,
.never.again to concentrate in the vicinity of Wash
ington. It will be by au , * advances and attacks
that the rebel army wilr be destroyed, and peaoo
'restored to our bleeding country.
"INTER A. CRISIS WITHOUT ITS HERO." Who ,
can deny the assertion we have made, that this
is the critical hour of the rebellion—aye, the last,
groat crisis? But where is our hero? Echo does
not ans wer this question, bat oommon sense says "in
the ranks." We have many men who aspire to the
important position of a military leader, some of
whom have proved their ge ius and courage
on the field ; but wheie is the man that is
to bear the proud name of Salvator Pe
trie in America's slip-shod history in all
time to come ; the man who is to assume oom • mud
now in the hour of our greatest peril, yet ang- •
mented strength, ,and lead us Ito victory? We
have gained some brilliant victories, but thoy have
been attended with indecisive results. The cause
of this has been mainly that political influence has
had too much to do with appointments to high
offioe in the army. It wounds the heart of a loyal
man to bear, as we have heard, privates who have
fought and been wounded in the service of
their country, complain bitterly of the ac
tions of our major, generals upon • the field
of battle in the Southwest and in Vir
ginia, not for their own sakes, bat for the
sake of their country. One of these generale made
a blunder on the Peninsula, it is said, involving
the loos of nearly five hundred soldiers, as brave as
any that ever carried a musket, and from that day
to this be has never been beard of. Once a great
battle was imminent in Arkansas, during the pre
sent rebellion, and a subordinate officer begged
again and again of the commander•in-chief to be
allowed to attack and annihilates the enemy in detail.
But the commanding general waited until the
enemy bad gathered all his scattered bands and
organized them in a strong position. At this jam
tare the came subordinate officer said to the general,
" I can whip him now, if you will give me a decent
command, but we 'shall have bloody work." Per
to move upon the enemy was reluctantly*
given, the battle that followed• was, indeed,
a sanguinary one, but the banner of the free
finally waved triumphantly over the battle
ground, and success here was due to good
generalship, as it will be elsewhere. The hero.
of ;that oriels was an humble, bat well. edu
cated, officer, who was born a military genius, and
had made the science of the art of war the study
of his life, and had no politics, or at least has
always kept them hidden during the war. " Phil.
Kearney," said General Pope, on Friday last, " the
enemy will try to turn our right to-day, and although
there are officers who rank you in my army, you
are the only man I will trust to take command of
the right wing !" The oentre, under Sigel, was
sante, and the left, under McDowell, was very
heavy and strongly posted; so the post of dan
ger was assigned to the man who knew
nothing but how to fight men sueoessfally,
who had served his country in all her wars,
and had served Prance as a volunteer in Algiers
and in the Crimea, as Zouaved'Afrique and an
aid-de• camp. The right wing that day (taught the
• enemy thrice and hurled him back, when he fell
upon the centre and then upon.the left, sweeping it
away. These men were the heroes_of the reaped.-
ive crises of their lives. There are man in our
army who are just like Kearney—would be
our leaders now to certain and overwhelm
ing triumph --whose ambition to save the
country from disaster and shame is strong •but
chaste, hut to whom neglect is death. True Re
publicans and Demottrats, they will ask no office
when their work is done; no remuneration will be
worth their notice if they have the love of their
soldiers and the people, and no monument will
make their fame so enduring as impartial history
itself. " Giye•ue as good leaders as vre give men,"
is all, the people ask for now. -
THE NEWS.
Wit present to.day some highly important news
from the South, gleaned from Richmond papers,
covering dates to the Ist inst. The readers of The
Press are thus favored with rebel accounts of the
recent battles, and can now look at both sides of
Abe picture. The rebels say they will not accept
mediation from foreign Powers, but demand
armed intervention. The proceedings of the lc Con
federate Congress" are as defiant and amusing as
ever. Among other interesting news we have the
report that the bombardment of Vicksburg has
been recommenced.
TRH latest news from Cinoinnati, like that from
Washington, induces us.to place our hope in the
people who compose our armies. They are in
earnest; at last, on all hands.
Ova epitomise ofnews from the Army of Virginia,
presented on the first page of to•day's Press, wil
be found full and replete with interest from be
ginning to end. It•is the duty of• every one to read
every paragraph written by intelligent men about
the rebellion, and thus tit themselves, to some ex
tent, for a personal realisation of the scenes de.
scribed, in their future life. Is may be that the
day is not far distant when most, of our oitisens will
have to serve their country as soldiers. -

The Governor's Proclamation.
The country will applaud the proclamation
of his Excellency. the Governor. It is neither
ttiolate nor too soon. Every one will concede
its propriety. When the guns of. JACKSON are
echoing •in the streets of Washington, it is
time to think of Pennsylvania. Whether the
contingency is remote or present, it is in ex
istence, and it is the part of wisdom to meet
it by instant and universal action. We do not
•
need to discuss the reason of our present trou
ble—let us admit that we are in trouble, and
the only way to avoid it is to meet it boldly.
We have hoines to defend, interests to.pro-.
tect, and immediate peril to anticipate. The
Governor is not an alarmist. He' 'does not
create dangers, and call upon the people to
defend themselves ; he simply profits by the
experience of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky,
•and tells the people cc that their safety re
quires" that they should cc assume further bar
dens." We can say to the Governor that we
assume no burdens in responding to his
call. It is a pleasnre—it is a pride that we
have the opportunity to exhibit the qualities
that have made our fathers beloved and re
spected in all parts of - the world. Let us
prepare to meet the Southern foe, or any foe
that may dare to invade our State Let us
guard our coasts, our . cities, our rivers, our
• roads, our farms,' our homes. Fighting in a
just cause-I.:defending liberty And consti
tutional law—let us do it like men, remem
bering that if liberty perishes in America,
centuries of oppression may darken the world
before another race will attempt an experi
ment which failed amid bloodshed, crime,
•
anarchy, and civil war.
And now let us repeat—even at the risk of
repeating an old and tedious injunction—the
necessity for a unity of action and a harmony
of sentiment. We do not ask men to change
their opinions or yield the convictions of con
science; but when the country is in peril
every opinion, prejudice, hope, and belief,
should be sacrificed to the common danger, on
the altar of our common country. Demo
crats—Yon have no opinions but those that
look to the • good of the country. The good
of the country demands them at your hands.
Republicans--What is more dear to you than
the salvation of the Republic? The salvation
of, the Republic. asks your earnest, unquali
fied, and unquestioning support. There is
but ono way to serve the country now. It
is not by advocating mere Democratic prin
aiples or mere Republican principles. Dis
miss thou until other and happier times.
Take your musket, lay down your pen and
• had•ruer, leave the plough in the furrow and
the shuttle in the loom, and come' forth to the
cotomoit defence. Do not hug the delusion
that you are to pass through the fire and come
forth unscathed. Do ;Lot dream away the
,precious hours that should be employed in
busy preparation. Trust in Providence, but
let it be with arms in your hands. An angry,
furious, and implacable enemy, strengthened
by the enemies of liberty in every part of the
world, and susta , ned by the sympathy of
every despot that oppresses mankind, is plot
ting your humiliation and overthrow. For
ourselves—and we feel that we speak the sen
timents of every true man—all that we have,
all that we are, all that we believe, we sur
render to the common danger. That man is a
brother who comes forth at this hour and sus
tains the call of the Governor—that man is
an enemy who fails in a duty that is now the
dearest duty a citizen of Pennsylvania can per
form.
Our able and distinguished cotemporary,
the New York Times, in alluding to a panic
which was created in the New York stock
market, by the publication of false and inju
dicious despatches in the New York papers,
says cc the selections made by the telegraph
from the confused medley of despatches in the
Philadelphia papers, excited momentarily the
profoundest alarm in the city" and very justly
proceeds to comment upon the folly, the
recklessness with which many absurd state
ments are published in the. newspapers. • As
the Times has recently done us the honor
to quote largelyfrom the despatches published
in THE PRESS, it is only just that we should
dissent from its censure and excuse ourselves
from its criticism., We are not much in the
habit of referring.tO the.enterprise manifested
in our various news . columns. That is alto
gether for the consideration of our readers.
We are satisfled 'to know' "thit they manifest
their:, approval , by• constant expressions of
friendshiP and - approbation, and, large addi
tions to our subscription list. It ley however,
. • ,
with us a matter of special pride that during •
all this war, laboring in common- with our
cotempraries under tho, many embarrass
ments which surround the American - press, we
have printed but one or , two statements that
subsequent information did not prove to be
coricet.. It will be remembered, too, that we
have done our • share in furnishing special and
exclusive information of great events. to the
public. Tux PRESS was the first marl!):

of the Chickahominy ; to announce the ad

We allude to these thinglOpi the purpose - of

mon with all the other joufigs of the country,
it did not hesitate to copy ur accounts, and
pitOPerly credit them, without once et.l.presfing
the opinion that they were CC a contused Med
ley of despatches." It has been the aim of
THE PRESS and we will de our contemporary
ttie;justice to Say, :that it has generally Ap
peared to be the-aim of the Times to obtlin
early, and at the same ; ime reliable intelligence,
of every great event that transpires. No one
knows better than the % Times of the enormous

knows better the difficulty and embarrassments
surrounding the • honest correspondent in the
discharge of his duties . That we have suc
ceeded so Well'in avoiding sensational des
patches, and; at the satne'titnec printing early
and exclusive intelligence, is a subject for
self-congratulation. We are sorry that the
Times, in common with the other New York
papers, should have been betrayed into print
into startling and mischievous rumors from
any Philadelphia paper, but it will certainly
do us the justice to say that it'never.bas been
so bettayed by any 'statement that' hai art

do us the further justice; whenever it has
occasion to. criticise the journais Phila= ?

LETTER FROM " 011PASIONAL."
WASHINGTON, September 4, 1862.
From the East and the West we have war
and rumors of war. Ohio is in a state of
alarm, and the gentlemen of Cincinnati are
enjoying the healthful recreation of digging
ditches and entrenchmepte at Covington. Gen.
Lewis Wallace hastened a characteristic pro
clamation, and is giving every able-bodied man
a musket ora spade. In Washington we are
more fortunate. , The foresight of Gen. Scott
and Gen. McClellan is seen in the labored
rampart-lines that environ the city. For the
last year many of these earthworks have been
neglected.- The grass has grown over the - etn=
brasures, andin some of the forts nearl Long
Bridge flowers bare been springing up. The,,
workiaround. Arlington have been.little more ,
' than'. obj tipteiest to curious travelled
from tbe Eastern tea: They kie now in an ex-
Cellent condition fo Mae, and begin to look
picturesque with' - dotter anvas; and the ft gs
floating over them. If there: is anything in
human' skill, artilleri, 'and destrnetive ord
nance, I do not see how Washington can be
taken. Wherever yon look forti are seen.
They command every bill, ford,, bridge, and •
ferry. From Bladensburg to Alexandria, from'
Alexandria to Chain Bridge, from Chain Bridge
to Bladensburg; , is one complete and unbioken
line of defences. It would be as difficult; to
Cross" the Potomac within range of any ,of
these points as it would have been to evade
the flaming. sound of :the• guardian angel.
Under their guns our army is now resting—
gradually accumulating strength, and pre
paring for another campaign.
No one, however,an ticipates an attack upon
~
''Ara4hington from the:Potomac. The general.
ly accepted military theoryis that the rebel
armies will attempt to engage our troops at
Fairfax, and, while diverting - their attention,
make a movement by :way of Leesburg, or
Harper's Ferry, force a crossing at these
points, occupy. Maryland, and excite the Se
cession feeling there into riot and anarchy,
break the line of the railroad from Washing
ton to Baltimore, and thus interrupt all com- -
munication with the North, prevent supplies
from reaching Our :army and our people, and.
naturally cause a surrender by causing a fa
mine. In the meantime,' to Prevent these
supplies fron reaching the city, it is supposed
that another column of the rebel army • will
-move down to a point lower on the . Potomac,
erect batteries, sod either cross into Maryland
or prevent our transports from coming up the
river. • To avoid these schemes,' I .may
state that we have on the lower Potomac
a large number of gunboats; on the up
per Patoms.c large bodies of troops... A
crossing at Edward's Ferry is - a favorite
theory pt .tbe rebels. At. Edward's Ferry
the river is narrow and fordable, but a
division of men at Poolesville, with , a battery
on the bills, occupied by Gen. Banks last year,
atter the Ball's Bluff, would render such an at
tempt a:dangerous experiment. Poolesville,
Point of Rocks, and Harper's Ferry, are all
strongly guarded, while a large body of tro*
are being massed Ist' Baltimore, as I am told,
to be held as a reserve, for the purpose of 04
slating the capture or the invasion of Mary
land, or the assault,, upon Washington. It is
said, also, that there'la a proposition to esta
blish a large camp at Chambersbnrg, in your
State, for the purpose of preventing a raid
into. Pennsylvania. Jackson would desire
nothing better than to go into winter quarters
in the fruitful valley of the Susquehanna, and
his guerillas would find abundant and exhila.
rating sport in foraging upon , the loyal farmers
of York, Franklin, and Adams.
All this may be the mere speculations of a
closet critic. I confess lam not a valiant
ma', nor do I emulate . Xenophon or Dr. Rus
sell ; but it is impossible for any one who has
eyes to see, or ears to hear, not to form some •
opinion about the situation of affairs in this
military department. There is a better feel
ing here to-day than I have seen for a few
days past. Many gentlemen Whet Mule pre-
Aparationa for hasty departure s are leisurely
unpacking their trunks, and have put aside
their travelling apparel. Our little world goes
on just as quietly as . though we were not
within a few hours' ride of General Lee's
headquarters. We have our gaieties, our
troubles, our enterprises, our amusements ;
• as Richelieu would express it, we are con
stantly dispensing Rapture, Penury,
Death." Mr. Ford announces new attractions
at bis theatre ; Mr. Maguire sells real estate to
highest bidders ; Mr. Riggs honors and dis
honors drafts , upon bis treasury. The Cartha-
genians Akre 'before Rothe, but their camping
grounds will bring excellent prices. Whatever
the Present may bring, inevery loyal face I see
hope for the.fatire; while every sympathizer
is ft ank •to -admit, • that what the Southern
leaders intend to de they must do quickly, for
the opportunity will soon pass away forever.
The energy, enthusiasm, and dauntless spirit
of the Northern States are seen in every blue
.coatedeitivin that comes over the Susquehanna
with a musket _on his back. I have faith in
the North. I sometimes feel sick, weary,
and impatient; I often lament the apathy that
forms such a sad contrast to the fiery despera
tion of the Southern people but I cannot
recall the Pilgrim Fathers and the stern and
stalwart mei who met in Independence Hall
and think of failure. We are a long time
summoning our energies to the task before
us; our eyes are still heavy with the lethargy
that has been clinging so persistently to us.
Let us hope that this new peril will arouse the
hidden strength of our Anglo-Saxon race—
the strength that conquered at Naseby and
Marston-Moor. Then may we hope for a
quick, speedy, and desolating war; and then
we may hope for a hutting peace.
The Late Major Frink
Major Henry A. Frink, of the 11th Pennsylvania,
Col. Coulter commanding, was killed on Saturday
btat while gallantly leading his men against the
enemy. Major Frink was well known in Pennsyl
vania, having lived in this State for a number of
years. He was the son-in•law of George W.
Hameraley, Esq., Clerk of our State Senate, and
had served under J. Edgar Thomson, on the Penn
sylvania Central, and Edward Miller, on the Sun
bury and • Erie, as a civil. engineer. Re occupied
a similar position on the North Pennsylvania, and
was chief engineer of several leading routes in
Ohio. Major Frink was educated at the West Point
Military Academy, from , which he honorably re
tired to practice his profession as a civil engineer.
The 11th Regiment, of which he. was Major, was.
originally commanded by Col. Phaon jarrett, and
served with distinction daring the - three-months
eampaisn. Reorganized under Col. Coulter, it
"fought in most of the battles of the Peninsula, and
in all the recent battles near Washington. Major
Prink was thirty-three years old at the time,of his
'death. His widow .and her only child are now at
her father's residence in Germantown, and received
the sad intelligence Of his fate, on Monday. ,The
old 11th suffered terribly in Saturday's fight - We
• are not only called upon to record the death of
Major Prink, but also the death of Lieut. Colonel
Martin; intimately connected with many well
knoWn Pennsylvania -families. ' It is oertain'that
Col.!.Coulter, of this same regiment, was not killed,
as reported, in the .battle of Cedar" Mountain, bat
it is ;feared that he, too, perished in the drelidful.

Gen. Cadwaiader.
Gen. Cadwaleder is here, with the view of replacing
Gen. Butler in command at New Orleans, but hes not
yet officially received his appointment. His staff is yet
imap'pointed, with the exception of Gaps. Isaac noses,
his suit/teat adjutant general and chief of staff. Capt.
Noses was till the war a rt &Aleut of New York, and has
been till recently an . aid to . Gen. Heintzlemau. In his
new position lie will rank as major. . •
The army is busily 'employed in recuperating the
etrength of those wearied in the late battles, and in drill
ing new levies. A demonstration neon Leesburg is
daily looked for. From among the eleven hundred pa
roled prisoners who arrived here last night , it is under
stood that the enemy Is now in various directions, north
ward of Fairfax Court House, ready;either to return by
way of Thoroughfare Gap, or march forward to Leesburg.
The prisoners were studionely kept away from the main
body of the rebel army, and had, therefore, no MAIM of
estimating the enemy's force The troops they met were
miserably clad, and many, being without shoes, had
their feet bannlfddo rage. Their musketa.fre of varied
desortptloint: It seemed an impression among them that
Gen. Lee would soon march towards Leeebnig, and
attempt to cross the Potomac into Maryland. The pros
•nect of feeding from the fertile farms of, that State gave
them great pleasure, as they bad but little to eat. Not
withstanding the apparent scarcity of provisions in the
rebel army, the Question of subsistence has undoubtedly
-been attended to by Davie Government, and grain has
been soffielently planted this year to guard against all
needs. That the army is now badly provided for is
doubtleesoWing to the rapidity of their late movements,
precluding - an accompaniment of the necessary wagon
trains. .

The stories alleging that considerable quaniities of our
quartermaster's 'and commissary's stores. fell into the

rations only that they 060 M -e a -at Manassas, ( which,
by. tbe•bye, were well-nigh entirely wasted by the'pertY,
making the capture in their famished eagerness each to

wsgon•losde of bOspital storm, the bulk of them being
whisky only. We have been able to hear of, no other
captures of stores made by them.

changed 4n the last twenty tour hours, except that order
on the cther side of the river ie being rapid, brought
- ont of theebaos of the late retrograde movement, which
"was by no means as chaotic, however, as usual in each
cares.
The impression continues to prevail in military cir.
oles here that Lee lb surely preparing to cross the Pogo.
mac above. It is not believed that he will gain anything
by ench an attempt, or that it is one to be dreaded.
There has been no fighting whttever on the front in
the last twenty-four bouts.
While the rebels held the paroled - prisoners, referred
to above, It is - worthy of note, that they took especial
pains to withhold from them, one and 'all, opportunities
for estimating theft force, marching them always as far
as poisible around and out of eight of their several bodies
of troops. It was very geuera'ly mild by the rsbels, with
whom the prisoners conversed, that it was the purpo* of
Lie to get over the river into Maryland, we may add ;
though, of course, those saying so to them had really no
means of knowing what bee's intentions were.'

and conducted to the Capitol building. The Hecker
regiment, under the command of the lieutenant cclonel,
formed the escort. Boring the ;rearms of the proces
sion through the streets the General was sainted with
cheers, wavingof bats, handkerchiefs, dm. At the south
door of the Capitol Governor Yates introduced the Gene
ral in a nest speech, in which he feelingly and foroibly
alluded to the military eervices of the General. Ilia re
marks were highly applauded.
General MoOlernand rose, and was saluted with
hearty cheering. He made a very able speech, strongly
in favor of the war, and of wing all available means to
bring it to a successftil termination lle donounced all
who supported the Government with an 6 . if" or
' , but" as hypocrites, and no bettor than the rebels.- It
was,
in tine , an out-and-out war 'speech, as strong as
that of-Governor Yates at ohiurgo. At the part where
the General said that he was for using *every means,
negroes included; for putting down the rebellion, the ap
plause was most marked.
A Word to Pennsylvanitins
To the Edztor of The Press: 1
SIB : Will you permit an Englishman to venture
a few words, through your columns, to the men of
Pennsylvania? I tusk it with the more courage,
because the action of ' the gallant and patriotic
Keystone State seemingly promises to be neutral
ised by the machinations of the traitors in her
midst.
A former residence in the United States, during
a period of five years, gave me a considerable in
sight into your national , politics. I then learned
bow much trn h there was in the title of Pennsylva
nia, " Keystone of the Union," and the past twelve
months have convinced mo that'she is more than
ever the "Keystone" in this contest. Your fellow
citizens
recognize the high honor of their position,
and have. therefore, furnished more defenders of
the Union than any of her sister States. Will you
permit two hundred thousand of the best blood of
your relatives' anti friends to be sacrificed by the
unholy tr ason of a, fo'ir Men who' remain at home
for the sole.,purpose of assisting the enemy and be
traying the interests, honor, and the very existenoe
of your State? • -,
A week ago, I listened to a speech delivered by
a Maryland oelonel from the balcony of the Conti
- Dental-Hotel. He told the vast crowd in f
him that Maryland - had infinitely more to &MUM
• With in this contest than Pennsylvania ; and 'yet, -
said he, " my State has a larger proportion of loyal
and true men, this day, than Pennsylvania!' The
crowd cheered his remark, and many even called oak
Teara so!" - Will you, patrio ioicitizens of the
gloriouS " Old Keystone," allow his words to be
correct ?
• That secret organization of rebel sympathizers
• and traitors to the Republic, which I believe you
term the Knights of. the Golden Circle, has hun
•dredst eye thousands, of members in this very city.
Go, sir, as I have frequently - done, into Third
street, near Chestnut, and listen to the remarks in '
:the crowd in front of the newspaper offices; watch
the signs passing from man to man ) the smiles of
Satisfaction when news of defeat arrives. Your
hotels are full of these traitors, and so confident are
,they of final success that they care little to disguise
their sentiments. Wilt you allow such a state of
_things longer to continue, or will you fight them
with their own weapons, and hand over the
-traitors to the condemnation they merit?'
Another fortnight of false confidence and apathy,
and you will - find these very men rejoicing at the
presence of the rebel vanguard in your beautiful ,
Cumberland Valley, and rioting unchecked in the •
very capital of the State. You are slow to believe'
this ; but do you think the left wing of the Con
federate army is now in sight of Harper's Ferry,
for no object? Have_not the rebels lately threat-,
sued to transfer the horroni of this civil war to -
the soil of the free, States? and does not Pennayl
verde offer a rich field to their inroads, her count—
less granaries and peaceful farms inviting invasion ?
"The Gaul is at your gates," and yet traitors
swarm in the streets of your metropolis.
You have mach to 'lose, much to gain, much to
retrieve in this dire conflict. Your blood is now
excited, 'and men cannot reflect so justly as in
peaceful times. Think, oh think, what - must be
the verdict of history on Pennsylvaniatif this God
founded Republic is broken atwain—Pennsylvania,
~,the mother of a President who saw the rebellion
grow up from infancy to stalwart manhood and
never moved a hand to check it. Bat the day of
retribution will assuredly oome before long, and
the stigma of their dishonor will not leave you un
spotted.
• • In the name of God, civilization, and humanity—
for the honor of Pennsylvania and the security of
your State, arise and silence thee° traitors. Ferret
out and orush these black-hearted sympathizers
with rebellion, and lose not a day, or it may be too
`late. • •
Viotoiy•hi this contest is more than the mere re
establishment of the Union. It is the enthrone
ment of democracy amongst the nations of the
earth ; it is for your children the' empire of the
world. Defeat is the qulac ruin of your State and
the enslavement of your fellovr-Otizene, and a by
word and reproach upon yOtir descendants through
out all time. Will you that. America shall b the
Niobe of the nations, the liughing-stock and jibe,of
tyranny? Men of Pennsylvania! you can deter
mine the Wire.

A committee of five wag app - Jinted to bring the can

The resolusione reported' by the committee were then
read: The Prat deplores the demoralizing tendency of
the . 4 higher-law P - teachlugs of the Republican party,
and reiterates the faith of the Convention and the party
in the doctrine that constitutional law is the only basis of
ExeCutive action ip time or war.
The second resolution extends to the National &drain
istration'a cordial support for the speedy suppression of
the rebellion by all coniattotional measures.
The third reads as follows ; The people have reserved
to themselves all power not delegated to the Government,
therefore all assumptiose of power by the administration,
whether in the enpprestion of the habeas corpus, arrest,
sad imprisonments, without due course of law, or re
strictions et freedom of 'speech and the vette, are dan

LON 4 BRANOH;Sept. 4,1662
The regular opening of the new route from Phi
ladelphia to New York, via Long Branch, took
place -to•day. - A large party from Philadelphia
started from Vine-street wharf at eight o'elocu this
morning, and reached Long Branch at 12 o'clock,
noon, without delay. This was, indeed, a fast
party : They distributed, on landing (how we un
consciously 'pick up sea phrases on the Atlantic
shore!), and went to various hotels. Your corres
pondent 'located himself at Shoemaker's United
States Hotel, a - capital house, close on the shore,
and can report himself and friends es in a flourish
in•g condition.
The cars on this new line, which run in connec
tion with the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, are
the beat I have ever seen anywhere. They excel
in height, ventilation, width, and neatness. Each
cost $2,700. As for the line, which is quite new,
nothing can excel its smoothness. We were accom
panied all the way by John Brodhead, Esq., Presi
dent of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, and it
ii his opinion that the new line , will be of mutual
advantage to New York and . Long Branch, Atlantic
City and,Cape May. The trip to-day was dose in
about three and a half hours.
A; great many will return this afternoon. I shall
remain a day and report. R S: M:
