TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1862.
If it be true that forty thousand rebels are al
ready at Frederick, it may be supposed that this
force is merely the advance of a formidable army ;
for it is scarcely credible that the enemy would at
tempt to execute so difficult and dangerous an ope
ration as the crossing of .a river, to attack the large
reserve army now at Washington behind entrench
ments, unless they saw an inviting prospect of sue
eeas. It is, therefore, probable that those wh6 have
already crossed are simply a powerful advance
guard, and that they will make a stand, at Frede
rick or vicinity. We hear, also; that McClellan has
marched with a heavy column either to Point of Rocks
or Frederick, with the double design of preventing
the further passage of the rebel army, and to re
-pulse that portion already over. As to the worn
plishment of the first object, he will probably be too
late. If the force under Ilia is an independent body,
it will probably not risk a battle, but :g silently steal
away ;" if it is /sot, we may expect to hear of an en
gagement somewhere on the line of the Baltimore'and
Ohio railroad. In spite of the energy of the rebels,
wo do not fear that the odds can be much against
us. Strategically, however, our army will have
to commence the battle at a disadvantage, as it
has to fight to keep open its communication - with
the North. The whole result depends noon the sue-
Oese of our tactics, and it is impossible, from our
present data, to foretell what that result may be.
Its' importance demands our earnest attention, even
while its promise may inspire us with hope.
To a certain extent, it may be . decisive to
ourselves, without perhaps being decisive -to
the rebels. In the improbable contingency
of defeat—for it is the part of wisdom, the part
of duty, the part of loyalty, to study every con
tingenoy whioh may arise to affect the interests
of our cause—our army could only retire to Wash-
Ington, which would itself become imperilled. If
the enemy is defeated, he will sustain a heavy loss,
but there will still be a prospect of, his escaping to
Virginia. Under such eiroutnstences it would be
perhaps viisest, it' praotioable, to fight no battle
until we can got into such a position as will insure
us the victory. But let`the struggle come at once,
if come it must; our men are confident and eager
for the fray. -
The present aggressive movements of the enetny
have thus far been to our advantage in a very im
portant sense. We were so blindly confident of our
immensely superior strength that our very eon&
donde, misplaced, became an'elerdent of weakness.
Lplled into a false sense of security, too many of us
,dad fallen into an apathy from which nothing but
the most imminent peril could have aroused us.
That peril is now menacing us, and calls for the ex
ertion of all our energies with an imperative
ness which dare • not be disregared. The inva
sion of Pennsylvania would have the effect to
call into the field 'at least . " three hundred
thousand more" from our noble old Commonwealth
alone.' The idea of conscription to fight aloe who .
comes to .drive us' from our homes, would be re
jected indignantly by every man whose nature is
not utterly 'corrupt. A New York ootemporary
suggests that the militia regiments of that State,
being fresh from the field, and therefore well drill
ed, should be offered to us for 'temporary protection,
until our forces can be organized. It adds that " the
regiments-could be started off in forty-eight hours,
and the next forty-eight hours may be as forty eight
years."
The next forty-eight hours promises to prove
as grand an epoch in the history of Pennsylvania
as in the fortunes of the rebellion. We are
on the eve of another tremendous uprising of
the North—an uprising, compared with which
the records of the past year will sink
into insignifmanoe—an uprising which, gather
log force in its mighty impetus, as it rolls from the
Avildit-of-hiaisas -to the oapital_of the_nation,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific shore, will orush
the last spark of life from the hideous monster,
whose desperate writhing betoken already his
coming dissolution.
The Hour
acts
of small men. We apply , this -remark more
particularly to the City of Philadelphia. The
Hour is here; but where.% the Man? Philadel
phia is now to the rebel army what Rich
mond is to the Federal army. The rebels
have invaded the State of Maryland, and the
intelligence this morning indicates that they
have also invaded our noble State of Pennsyl
vania. Hanover, a little town in York county;
and very near the Maryland border, is said to
be' invested by a rebel force. The roads
through Franklin, Adams, and York counties
are filled with Union men, Women, and chil
dren, flying before > a rapacious and needy
army. The banks in the southera counties
are sending their specie to more secure depo
sitories, the citizens are assembling in miss
and arming themselves for service, every
man on the border is preparing to defend his
home and his fireside, the capital of our State
is being p'aced in a condition of defence. A
rebel force is within twenty-two miles of Bal
timore, and the richest counties of Maryland
are being imPoverished and plundered.
What has been done to meet and avert this
danger? We should have thought that the
very moment the foot of a rebel invader
pressed the soil of P ennsylvania, the State, and
especially the city, would have risen to its de
fence as one man. Instead, we have dilettanti
soldiers, and generals of a parade day--men
for Whom we have little respect, and in whom
- we have no confidence, officiously interfering,
with noisy proclamations and meaning
less orders. Oar local military •organiza
tions, as organizatioas, are worthless—and
simply because , the men at their head
do not possess the regard of the people.
So long as nothing was to be done. but to
parade around the city in gay nniferms, and
repel an imaginary enemy with real bayonet
charges in the city diillgrounci, we enjoyed
their petty Splendor and endured their osten
tation. Our militia forces were little more
than gentlemen of leisure, or sedentary young
men in need of exercise ; their officers owed
their commissions- to the" Influences which
elect the common councilman or ward con
stable, and knew nothing of the duties
theyhad assumed. Worse than this, many of
them were known to have no consciene
the fight. Fort_au
..-ear ouch outh held high commands.
The petty quarrels of small ambition were per
-e milted to divide and distract those who,avere
loyal and anxious to manifest their loyeity—
and our whole system of local defence was
unreliable, badly managed, and inefficient.
Those who desired to fight went into the army,
and theee who remained at home either did
the best that could be done in our local organi
zations, or awaited a call to arms from the.
Government.
The people are ripe for action. They only
want 'a leader, some one m whom they believe
—a man of couragd, sagacity, and character--
a man who will realize the spirit of the old Re
volutionary times—a man who might ride along
the streets of - Philadelphia at noonday and
summon thousands to arms bp hiti influence
and example. 4 C Oar people should awaken to
the fact," said a despatch from Harrisburg
yesterday morning, which we may assume to
have been official, (c that danger is imminent;'
and though Governor CURTIN is doing all in
his power, his hope for the 'Were is based en
tirely upon the prompt response of our citi
zens when called upon to march." The peo
ple are ready to .march, but where is their
leader—whom can' they follow '
must be defended on the banks 'of the Sus
quehanna, or hi the' Valley of the Cumber
land. AU who can bear arms should in
stately cease all occupation and go forth.
Close the stores, stop all employment hat that
absolutely necessary—even proclaim martial
law ashes been done in Cincinnati—let iicre
hove our State from the shame and oppreo
- coming upon her. lieUncLneie is ad
vancing to overtake them ; we iihould advance
to meet them. Under a leader whom ,they
could trust, fifty: thousand men would leave
Philadelphia for Chambersburg in fortY-eiglit
hours. We pray-that God-may raise up 'sueh
a man among us. This Hour will live in eter
nity if the Man but rise to aCt.
The enemy have given us the challenge.
Let us accept it. They have come to our
homes—plantint on free soil the banner of
slavery. Let the first invasion of Pennsylva
nia be a memory and a warning for all time,
for if we permit any one of these invaders to
THE WAR
return—if we do not utterly crush and annT-:
hilate them, we dishonor the liberty we pos.-
ess and the race to which we belong.
Don't Give no the Ship.
In the midst of our present disasters there
is great hope for the success of
,our arms.
The rebels are moving from their former lines
of operation, where they defended their own
firesides, to invade the North, where they will
be met by the same spirit that animated them
when they fought to save their own capital.
The further North the rebels go the more
perilous will be their position, the more
effectually may their cause be ruined by a
single defeat.
The rebels crossed into Maryland, because
they hoped to recruit their army by rebel
sympathizers from 'that State and, if their
expectations are realized,, it is, perhaps, not
more than just that Maryland should be made
to feel some of the disastrous consequences
of this unholy war: As to their crossing into
Pennsylvania, ‘g Stonewall " JACKSON might
undertake it; not so the cooler and calmer
General LEE, who cannot but know that, in
such an enterprise, the stakes are not pro
.
portionate to the possible gain. What the;
rebels are likely to attempt is to cut ,off
the communication between Baltimore and
Washington, thereby compelling a battle'
either at Ellicott's Mills or the Relay House,
and, in case of - victory, to compel the evacua
tion of Washington.
From what we learn, Gen. Mcantne.x has
already anticipated this movement, 'and has
Marched to meet the enemy on a battle-ground
of his own selection. We entertain no doubt
of his success, and feel confident. that the
army, which has such implicit faith in his skill
and valor, will, after all the trials it has under
'
gone, be led to victory. In this case the
rebels will go back as fast as they advanced,
and no apprehension need be entertained for
either Baltimore or Harrisburg.
What the rebel Government want is PEACE,
on terms humiliating to the North—terms to
be submitted to by our fears—terms that would
render our name and our fame mock words
throughout the civilized world. Itather than
submit to such a peace, cc let the last man," to
use one of the rebel phrases, ‘g die in the last
ditch." The rebels know they cannot con
quer us by.numbers, and therefore try What
effect their threats and menaces may produce
on our susceptibilities. They know that this
is.their last chance, and that procrastination
with them is synonymous with defeat.
Peace can never be made unless the North
dictate the ,terms, however lenient the condi
tions may be which we might be disposed
to grant the vanquished. Peace dictated
by the South would be a mere delusion,
and would overwhelm the whole country with
disgrace. How long would such a peace last?
How long before the jeers and gibes of the
Confederate States, and of all Europe, would
compel us to take up arms again to assert our
manhood, and to save us from the contempt of
our contemporaries, and of posterity? No !
Better let both ships go down in the tempest, -
than be thus ingloriously taken in tow, with
flag struck to the foe ! •
But we have no fear of such a result. The
good old flag will not be lowered to the rebel
uf start ! The labor, the enterprise, the acti
vity, the energy, the valor of the North, will
not succumb to the mock-feudal aristocracy of
the Smith, and its tattered retainers. The
progress of civilization, which has destroyed
feudal tenures on the continent of Europe,
and ,werikened them in. England, cannot be
arrested by LEE and ,TAcusorr; and America,
which in her very cradle has waged war against
the feudal barbarism of Europe, will notallow
its bastard brother in Virginia and South Ca
rolina to defile her historical records.
One Word More apout Gen. McClellan
The press of the country is still divided in
regard to the military capacity of the general
who now holds the destiny of this nation on
the point'of his sword. Some who doubt his
ability as a military leader are undoubtedly ;
biased by their political proclivities, while
others, admitting his talents as an engineer,
deny him the genius which shows itself best
on the battle-field. The opinions of Military
Men are less divided. Few among these doubt
his generalship, and it is an ,
by the President must set to resftlitt many
calumnies wbich.have aspersed his character
as a patriot and soldier.
'We do not remember, in all our historical
readings, a poor general who'has enjoyed the
_affection and confidence of his army. The
Russian soldiers whofollowed the "City Storm
er" SIJYTAIIROW, the French who called NA
roLEow "the Little Corporal," the Prussians
who baptized BLUCHER ." Marshal Forward,"
the Austtians who called RADETZKY their
c• Father," bad implicit faith in these com
manders long before these had reached the
zenith of their renown. Soldiers, in this re
spect, are like children, who discover the good
and bad ghalities of their parents and teachers
long before the latter have discovered theirs ;
and the instance is not known in which the
favorite of the troops has betrayed and for
saken them on the battle-field. Let us apply
these historical precedents to our judgment of
"Little Mac;" and trust that events will jag
tify our faith.
The People's War.
That this is a war of the people, involving
the happiness and safety of all classes, the
highest and the lowest, we are every day re
minded. It comes home to every hearth
stone, and every man feels it a part of his
duty, a part of his responsibility. We all
have friends in the field, and their fate ties us
down, with a fascination of anxiety and fearful
interest, to the bloody records that come from
daily battle-fields. - We go with them into the
camp, upon the watch, into the trenches, amid
all the hardships of their strange life, amid all,
the 'perils of victory, and to the sufferings'
of the hospital tent. We are all in this
war—those who. fight, and these who stay at
home that their brethren may fight; those
who'give their hearts to the enemy, as well as.
those whose heart-strings are lacerated by
every ball that comes from a rebel rifle. We
are forced to these reflections by reading of
the death of Lieutenant FESSENDEN, aid-de
camp on General TOWER'S staff, who was
killed at dentrevilks, while gallantly fulfilling
his mission, and whose remains have just
been recovered. He was a sou ar
711 Waizax
EkSENDEN, whose faithful discharge of
his duties, at the last session of Congress,
entitled him then to the gratitude of his
constituency, as his great bereavement now
entitles him to their. sympathy. The feeling's - 5f
the father were sacrificed to the instincts or
the patriot, and he gave up the life of a well.
beloved son to the need of his country. Such
noble instances of .self-sacrifice are the off.
spring 'of no 'fitful enthuslasni, fl but are an
every- day occurrence among all classes of the
people. We hail tlieni as an unfailing indica
tion that the loyal spirit which alone can pre-
Jame our. institutions from decay still per
fades thgt : eommunity, and unites all its mem
bers in the bond of unanimity.
r • Let us Obey our Country's Call.
Whatever dissensions may have existed
among us heretofore, the hour has arrived for
one grand, irresistible and united effort to up
hold the flag of our country: The enemy, in
the desperation of a bad cause, is menacing
our capital, and at the risk of annihilation
threatening to invade our own State and city.
Freemen of America shall we stand idle and
see this .glorious old Mecca of Constitutional
Liberty polluted by rebel hands I Never !
the cry, c( To arms, to arms l" is no longer the
alarm signal of the camp, but a prompting of
duty that throbs in every patriotic breast.
Men of Philadelphia, let us not tarnish by our
supineness, but rather burnish by our (‘ eternal
vigilance," the honor of our city, bequeathed
by the men of: 76.. The time has come for us
to sink every other consideration and interest,
and rush to the rescue of our imperilled flag.
Men of all parties—friends of Henry and Fox,
of Orlfg/Illatid Myers- - and 'Kline,
of KallekaridiTicholson--:sniely we can afford
to lay 4(4 all 'party discusaions and political
preferences in view of threatening etiergen
cies. a If we are patriots we will do this. The
man who hesitates as to his duty in a crisis
like the p re sent—who - requires time to reflect,
is a traitor at heart. 'He that is'not for us is
against us," was the verdict of the Son of
God, eighteen Centuries ago ; and that we have
now but two parties in our country, (( patriots
and traitors," is the no less truthful verdict
of faithful men today.
LETTER FROM " OCCASIONAL."
Before this letter appears in print one
portion of Pennsylvania will be occupied by
the •advancing column of the rebels. This
fact, so far from disheartening, should at once
unite and strengthen all classes of your
people. r I am not permitted •to describe
passing, or to anticipate coming"movements.
Enough is known to induce 'the prediction
that this adventure of the 'traitors will prove_
to be the most fatal, as it has certainly been
the most desperate, of all their undertakings.
,
In attempting to transfer the field of War from
Virginia to Maryland and Pennsylvania, they
have unconsciously-done everything to ,
con
solidate and purify the Union sentiment in the
one, and to extinguish all sympathy with Se.;
cession in the other. Undoubtedly a large
portion of the people of'Maryland, who pro- .
fessed to be for the country, were, as their
present conduct shows, at heart against it.
These are :now in public fraternity with
the traitors of the > northern counties of
that .State; but it is a most gratifying
fact that thousands, heretofore distausted, in
the counties of Allegheny, Frederick, Wash
ington, and Howard, have, in the face of ex-.
isting perils, established their loyalty. It is=
well that ; we should know our foes and our
friends, so that, in the quick coming day of
remembrance and retribution, punishment and
reward may be duly apportioned. And so in
reference to Pennsylvania. It is right that you
should ascertain whether any portion of your -
people are at heart with the oppressors and
enemies of the Government. How fearful it •
would be if, while the chief towns of Adams,
and Franklin, and York, are crowded with
loyal families fleeing from the invading
columns of the rebels, Pennsylvanians should
be found in your border counties indifferent to
the sufferings ()Their country, and full of
sympathy for her enemies. In the Southern
seceded States, unanimity for treason 'has
been secured by misrepresentation and
threats. The masses have come together
in those States almost as one man.
Although they have suffered for' want of
many of the:necessaries of life, or have 'ad
mitted the injustice of the policy of their lead
ers, they have been rallied by fanaticism, or
thud, or force to a common standard. Why
should not Penneylvania, and Ohio, and Mi.
nois, and Indiana, present a front,equally
lermined ? They have, I will not say a bet
ter cause, but the only good cause in this
struggle. They have everything to lose, not
only their political, and physical, and ritimeri
.
cal, and commercial superiority, should they
fail in this fight, but their self:respect. Are
their people willing to be branded as inferiors,
as Worse than mud-sills, atilives 7 Are they
ready to see those minorities in their,midst,
'which have heretofore, been powerful by the
aid of the Southern slaveholders, wielding su
preme power'over them for uncounted coming
years, with the aid of the same slavehold
ers, and in consequence of their own want
of spirit and their own want of harm*?
For, remember, if the Govermnent is defeated
in this contest for self preservation, the slave
holding South will be the arbiter of the destiny
of the free States, and therefore their dictator
and their despot. The free States must be
divided in the event of the triumph of treason,
while the slave States, flushed with the sense
and the recollection of their own victories,
and strengthened by, the strong hand of fo
reign intervention, will be united, if net irre
sistible. I write in the midst of every sort of
rumor, but it may be well to beax in mind that
that which looks like theory to-day may be
practical truth to-morrow. OMASIONAL.
.:Tax following is an extraot from a private letter,

WiIAT ARE THE OBJECTS OF THE REBEL
The aims and the objects of the rebels are so r en
clouded in mystery, but let us hope they will n• .5 so
long. It is known that they have crossed the t . man
at several places, and that Frederick and venal
other important points are occupied, but furth• than
this every one appears to be in the da . It
is also now positively known, that instead of 1 . son

they will send out cavalry who will destroy the ra oad

ward is regarded as a feint to draw our army after them,
with a view to make a sudden flank manah into Balti
more or Washington. On.the other hand-4nd this opi
nion. Prevails quite extensively—it is supposed that an
invasion of Pennsylvania, It not already acooMpliebed,
is determined on, while the idea that they have crossed
merely to get supplies is adhered to br some. I have
convened with the prisoners taken at Pooleyrille, and
paroled by the enemy, and they all agree that the rebels
are determined to take Baltimore .and Washington.
Their generals 'spoke of this in no boasting manner,
but with that confident, quiet air which seemed
to say that their past successes would insure the security
of their Intentions for - the present and future. They.
said that their nnriabera would lead them to the free
torder States ano hold them, expressinifaithin their
immediate' recognition' by foreign Fewer', nod "of
"of their
dictatirg terms of peace in Philadelphia. This on other
soil would bo deemed idle boosting, but wlkep. declared 'in
fdaryland by . the leaders of a successful army of In
vaders, ',herald be heeded.
The paroled prisoners, as well as information from
other sources, all agree that the rebels have marched
considerable of a force into Maryland—arty, thus far,
fifty or Marti , thousand men There are, of course,-ez
aggerations placing the number at a much higher 'figure,
but this is probably a correct estimate of the column
which crossed at Noland's Ferry on Friday, and which
now threatens the Cumberland Talley. It is evident that
they have left a larger force at Leesburg, so as to pre
vent "our army from getting in the roar of their:ad
vancing column. There was are immense camp be

land; intelligence which to ewe to fall into the enemy's
hand and be of immense value.
The Washington Star of last evening has the fol
lowing medley of reports and rumors, which we give
for.what they are worth :
Little authentic information is known here outside of
the War Department (if within its purlieus) of the
movements of the rebels in Maryland. That is—in ad
dition to what was published in Baltimore this morning,
all important portions of which will be found in our
columns. •
We may add to that information, that the latest and
most reliable intelligence from the south side of the Po
tomac repretenta that no Considerable body of rebels
have been in the vicinity of Leesburg since the passage
through that quarter of Longstreet and his command,
(estimated at 30,0000 which proceeded in the direction
of Noland's and Edwards' Ferry and the Point of Books.
This hi, doubtless, the force that •has croatied into Ma
ryland, below Harper's Ferry, Annum% whct has
reached here from the vicinity of the Polgt, of Hocks
says that yesterday a large division crossed the river
at the Point of Hocks, which we take tq be A portipn of
the force referred to above.
Vigilant Inquiry has satisfied us th at nothing cellar
ever is known of the presence of any rebel infantry on
the other aide of Washington, thin aide of thy 181111 gun
mountains. We presume that the military atstherities
left by General illcUlallan on the other aide have or will
promptly take oceasion to verify this fact, which, if
verified, must prove of great importance in regulating
the future movements of our army.
It is alleged that the rebel pickets in Maryland extend
on the north some fourteen miles out from Frederick,
in the direction of Hagerstown. This, if true, strength.
ens the impression that the rebel column (probably under
Jackson) that was believed to have Bled back through
Thoroughfare Gap, almost immediately after the battle
of Saturday last, has Crossed,. or is crossing, the river
above Harper'. Ferry, with the purpose of. assailing that
point Brat, or of pushing directly on into Pennsylvania;
leering Longstreet to amuse oar army below, to prevent
'them from being followed, until they may have time to
do as much mischief in that State as they can safely, ere
beating a hasty retreat back into Virginia.
The fact that Longstreet is said to be hurrying over
the river ouch plunder—horses, cattle, atom, ac.—as
he can clutch, favors the Impression that he moans to
follow in that direction ae soon ae MeOlellau may Neils
him.
We have rumors of a considerable engagement yester
day forenoon, between Sumner's corps and Longetroet'a,
in which the latter is said to have been driven back over
the river. We believe them untrue, though there was,
doubtlees, skirmishing between their respective pickets
yesterday afternoon, ours retiring, being greatly oat
numbered for the moment. This must have ocourred in
the vicinity of Darbesiown and Pooleaville, and our
pickets engaged Were probably only cavalry.

be, are closely watched and cannot be encoesaful.

THE EMERGENCY.
Preparations for Home Defence.
ENTBUSI&Ei,"iit WAR_ NFL -MGR',
The r-•
advance of the rebels across the Potomac
and towards our national capital is exciting the spirit of
bur people, anal they are becoming alive to the public
peril, and are endeavoring, if possible, to provide ways
and means for the better safety of our State and city,
The war tocsin is sounding nearer and nearer, the van
dal . hordes are about Mslilog incursions into the "Old
Keystone E tate." Desolation and ruin marks their pro
grees. Onr recent reverses are producing a beneficial
elect in this city, and they are beginning to realize to
what extent- the Government' to endangered. They see
that our present helpless condition invites an attack, and
that our State should be immediately armed, and the
whole personal and material resources should be put into
ieetnisition to repel the threatened invasion.
le is no time now to wait and hope and pray that vo
lunteers will come forward. Words and promises have
failed. The hour has passed fir trust, and those in
power should make it obligatory upon every person from
18 to 80 years of age to drill at least one hour every day,
and learn to handle the musket. We shall then be pre
pared to defend our city and Commonwealth against any
army which the rebels might send 'against us. The pro
position to close the stores at 3 P. M. has met with gene
ral approval,. and our merchants are nobly responding
to the proclamation of our rulers. Troops from other
States are continually passing through our city, and as
soon as ono regiment is entertained and sent off another
arrives. According to the recommendation of the com
mittee having charge of the Bounty Fund, the officers
recruiting for the different regiments In our city have
pitched their tents in Independence Square.
Numerous military companies have been organized at
some of our principal workshops and places of business,
and recruits come forward very briskly. Large and en
thusiastic war prieetingo will bo held in different portions
of our city every evening, and the fact that we are in
a country at present drenched with civil blood, and that
a bloody and relentless war is now being waged against
us, Is at last beginning to arouse the people to a full sense
of their danger. Large numbers of recruiting stations
were opened during yesterday, and a great war spirit is
beginning to show itsell among our loyal and patriotic
citizers, and they have determited that come weals,
isna nraffdeqr - --The
war spirlt'among our people yesterday was much greater
than it has been since the call of the President for the
additional three hundred thousand men, and the feeling
will grow stronger each day .until this wicked rebellion is
no more. We shottiknot again allow onset:ayes to fall
into that deep leth y from which we have just been
aroused. During yeieterd ay the excitement around the
military stations, and among private individuals, who
are taking an active part in the formation of coati:males,
was in tense. The principal events of the day were as
follows:
THE RENTING of GUARp.
. •
Under a call of General Pleasonton, a meeting of the
commissioned officers of the Home G uard was held yes
terday afternoon in the Supreme Court Room. General
Pleaeouton was in the chair. He explained the objects
of the meeting in a speech cf some length, arguing that
there was most urgent necessity for the Home Guard
at once to take measures for immediate service in the
field. It would not do to delay in the matter, as the
crisis is immirent.
To place the HOMO Guard into service would require
an expenditure too great to be met by individual mem
bees. 01.111161 s will not meet until Thursday, so that it
would be necessary for the people to contribute towards
the object if they wish protection for their homes. The
danger, he thoneht, was very great, and the apprehon
sloe of danger greater, because the Government keeps
its counsel to rteelf. We are not permitted to know any
thing of our condition, except what we can obtain front
stray paragraphs in the nowepapers.
General P. would like to Impteas upon the minds of
the people that we are now fighting a double enemy, and
therefore we should redouble our energies to put down
the rebellion ; we are fighting "England. as well as the
South The Rnglieb ministry have declared time and
again that they do not intend to tam fore in our affairs.
yet they furnish the rebels with all their. allpplies, and
thus place them upon a war footing It would be well if
we would consider these things and act accordingly.
Lieutenant Colonel Snowden remarked that we have
already had enough of speech•makieg about what the
rebels could do and what they could not do. Speeches
will not save us from the offectt of what they can do •; so
let ne get to action, action He proposed, without fur
ther dissertation, to appoint a committee to wait on the
Mayor, and request that he would order the Home Guard
into immediate service.
The chairman appointed as the committee, Lieut. Oa
Snowden, Capt. Wilson, and Capt. Berney.
The committee then procmelea to the Mayor's offiee,
and the meeting took a red es till their rotate, when
Gol..einowcen stated that the interview with the Mayor
had been quite satisfactory. lie endorsed the movement
of the meeting, bat . said that he would like to confer
with th e Governor before ordering out the Home Guard.
Theldayor further Field that the Home Guard and Be-
Serve Brigade should unite, and have one organization,
and if that could not be done,that a committee from
each organization ask froth otinoila the same appro
priation.
Mr. Spangler said that it would be impossible for these
organizations to unite, as they were formed upon distinct
hafts. tie also said that the Home Guard should ask an
appropriation from Councils The day has passed when
a member. of Councils can sneer at the Home Guard.
[a ' , planet 1 If the Councils will not give the appropria.
lion, let the Home Guard be dispensed with.
A rootlet' was finally made that a committee bo ap
pointed to. confer with the Reserve Brigade relative to
the uniting of the two organizations.
•This motion was, warmly discussed, some contending
that the Brigade would not listen to a proposition'of this
kind. No action was taken on the motion.
Mr. Spangler offer ed the following: ) •
:Resolved, That• a committee of .five be appointed to
, wait anon our City Councils at their next meeting, on
Thureday next, and urge upon ^their consideration the
importance and - expediency of immediately snaking such
appropriation' as will at once place the Home Guards
upon a war footing. Adopted.
It wee agreed that when the meeting adjourn it adjourn
to meet to. day at 12 o'clock, ant from day to day until
every arrangement ie completed.
Mr. - Poutaton offered the following •
Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed, of
whom General Pleasonton shall be chairman, who shall
welt upon the Governor, in conjunction with Mayor
Henry, to represent the v iews and desires of the Home
Guards of Philadelphia. Agreed . to.
In answer to an inquiry, Gen. Pleasonton stated that
all those persona who had signed the rolls, but had not
been sworn in, could be compelled to serve. No company
had the power of itself to disband, although they might
pass such a resolution, and give up their arms.
Leopard Meyers, Seq., offered a resolution that the
commanding officers of tbo several Home Guard regi
ments at once direct their armories to be opened, and
cell upon the citizens to fill their companies to the re
quired standard. Agreed to.
A motion was hers mae at a committee wait on the
Governor, and use theft' b e etexertions to hare martial
law prockrimtd in Phektde/phia.
Thus motion was strongly advocated by some, on the
ground that it would be the only manner of bringing the
altimeters Into the ranks. A draft or martial law, it was
contended, was the only way of bringing Men to the
ranks.
A motion was finally mule to postpone the remainder*
for the present, which was agreed to, and the meeting
adjourned until to-day at 12 o'clock.
FORMATION OP A. COMPANY AT TRH MINT.
Yesterday morning, in pursuance of a call of the Hon.
James Pollock; director, a meeting of the clerks and em
ployees of the Mint was held, for the purpose of orga
nizing a military company, to be ready for any emer
gency that may require their services. The Hon. James
Politick was called to preside, and Henry C. Pollock ap
pointed secretary. About 85 min" promptly volunteered,
and a company was organized. The following odic-ere
were elected : Captain, John G. Butler; first lieutenant !
Frank Garrignes; second lieutenant, Chas. B. House
man; orderly sergeant, Ohms: Rehle. A, great deal of
enthusiasm was manifested during the meeting. The
youngest eon of the Director, James 0. Pollock, volun
teered BB drummer. The number will be increased to at
least one hundred men. The Union must be preaerved—
the Government sustained.

A der patch received from Harrisburg yesterday morn
ing, says that 4- the citizens organizing themselves into
commies under the Governor's proclamation are not
vended to clothe or equip themselves. Arms will be
furnished on application to Adjutant General Russell by
the rignlarly elected captain, and not necessarily through
the brigade inspector." This is Cheering, and evince s
diepoittion on the part of the State that they will warmly
second all the efforts on the part of our Midterm. ,
There is at present in our city:three . separate and

Mr. Miller, on taking the chat, 'urged the implrts ue
of immediate action to meet the emergency by which oat

that the Nome Guards of Mantua would all up mu,

approaching rapidly, yet we slumber on Who can eat
what may become of ns within the next two week,:
Unless something is done, and done immediately, as,
doom is settled. fie understood that one of the object,
the present meeting is to organize a military °reed
zation for defence. The movement is a good one, sod
deserves a hearty response. A ehort time ari, ti,
speater addressed a letter to the Governors of Ohio aci
Indiana, in which he communicated the fact theta ism
rebel force was approaching those States. An Ron
was received from Governor Tod, in which he glutei
Zdr. Brownlow for his interest in the present state or el.
faire. But, said Governor Tod : Mr- Brownlee, yx
are unnecessarily alarmed." How have the facts ;mix
my prediction? A t this day, the rebe's are maths t
direct advance on Ohio. Stonewall Jackson,
one of lie
beet fighting men of the age, antone whom the sleds
would rather see hung than Jeff Davis, is apsrotchitt
into Maryland.
Mr. Brownlow was no alarmist, but he felt obliged s
say that there was great probability that the rebate wall
be here before the close of Septemeer. At Elarrisuer,
the people are aroused t.O tbo crisis; and why should 71
not be here also? The time bee paused in Ptaladelpba
when men who are sympathizing with the n.bellid
should ko allowed to raise thrievoices in favor of the sy

action of the civil and military authorities of tbe city.

General Pleasonton had been omitted from the list of
commanders issuing orders, and the Borne' Gatsrtt wed
characterized as "not having met - public expectation."
