Tothe President and Members of the Select Council of the Mtn if Philadelphia: GENTLEMEN: The invasion of Pennsylvania by armed forces of re bele, which took place yesterday and their rapid advatce towards the interior of the State have mane it necessary to a-sernble Councils, that their may take into consideration measures essential to the defence of the wty Official notice has been given by Gov. Curtin that Col. Ruff; U 'S, A. has been appointed by General Couch to superintend the organization of military la this city. A proclamation has been issued from this office, requesti7 all citizens to coke,their:places of business, and to co met themselves without delay with .existing militia organizations. The Governor has authorized a valence lion of notice that all citizens will be received for. the present emergency, without requiring an enlistment of six months. The committee of citizens entrusted with the fund sub-' scribed during the past year for bounties to volunteers, have -resolved Ito pay tea dollars to every private arid non-commissioned oillcer, and twenty-11611am for the expenses of each company enlisted - for immediate 'ser vice. In view of these circumstances it will be desira ble to make proviston for am expenditures that may be incurred for the immediate organization of citizens, and you are requested to determine the amount, and mode of dieburseramt. Respectfully, ALEXANDER HENRY, Ma - yor of Philadelphia. Mr. WITHERILL, .of the Committee on Defence and Protection, in a few patriotic remarks, read a report of the committee, who recommenced the passage of the fol lowing ordinance: An Ordinance to Provide for the Immediate Defence of the Vity of Philtuielphia. Section 1. The Select and Common Council.; of the city of Philadelphia do ordain that the sum of two hun dred and fifty thdusand dollars be and is hereby appro priated- to' provide for the enlistment. equipment, and pay of all able-bodied citizens who may volunteer for the 'defence of the State or oily, not exceeding three months; the said sum of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to be reimbursed to the city treasury out of the proceeds of a loan to be hereaf.er created. - Sec. 2. The Mayor of the city of Pniladelphia,with the advice of the Committee on Deence and Pr nection. is hereby fully. Authorized to expend the -said sum of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and to carry oat the provisions of this ordinanes. Sec. 3. it , necessary to reprove the people of Philadel phia for seeming apathy, we are convinced that in the hour of trial our city, which - has sacrificed so much for the cause of the Union', will not be found.wanting. As we understand' the sitnation, as it ap pearS at midnight, there, is leis ground for alarm .than prevailed during the day. The rebels have ocenpied Chambersburg, but be yond that point no force is knOwn to be, ad vancing: The wires were working through Shippensburg and, Carlisle at midnight, although the rumor on the street was that those towns had been abandoned to the ene my. This suggests to us that the rebels have too.great a dread of HOOKER to divide themselves in his front, and that, while they might rejoice in the opportunity of occupy ing and holding Pennsylvania, they would not dare to do so with a powerful army - on their line of communications. This< is a • hopeful view, and we give it as the most cheering theory that can. be suggested. At the same time the danger is so imminent, that nothing but the utmost energy and per- severance will save us from disaster. Our own good swords must be our shields, and Pennsylvania must defend, herself. New York and New Jersey have nobly come to our rescue. We thank them for their loving kindness, but, at the same time, let it not be said that the citizens of a sister State were first in defence of our own homes. HONOR TO NEw, Yost ! Her Governor has acted like a man who knows when the time for partisanship is at an end.

Intervention.o . : There is not Much chanee -- that France will agitate the question- of :intervention in . American airairsJ/But at theisitme time, it ,must be eonfessecT that the success (such as it is) of. the French at Puebla is a point against us of the Union.: Whateier gives any European Power a Ocis standi in North America has a tendency to weaken the influence of the United States. What turn affairs may take in Mexico is as yet but a matter of speculation. France started into the - Mexican war, we have always thought, with the definite purpose of obtain ing a foothold in North Aiherica—nay, of obtaining it, by conquest or treaty, by vio lence or payment, and Sonora, so close to the Pacific and also so 'near to our Cali fornia, is known to have been the desiderated territory. -The noble resistance of Puebla must have dispossessed the French of the idea that the 'Mexicans were not fighting men. .It took the French fully twenty months to advance half way between Vera Cruz and the city of Mexico, and other twenty months may, elapse before (if ever) that - metropolis be occupied by foreign troops. With the chances of an European war on the tapes, NAPOLEON is as likely as not to abandon his Mexican, enterprise ; but should he proceed, talking the city of Mexico, and erecting Sonora into a French colony, this long-cherished desire for inter vention may mature into action: But for our Civil War, it is improbable that NADS - should have been permitted to de in Mexico what so much resembles rendering the Monroe 'doctrine an obsolete nullity. As for "intervention"—it means war between the United States and the foreign Power that may attempt to force it upon us. We question whether France would risk such a contingency. If Lord RUSSELL and TM Times are to 'be credited, England will steadily decline any co-operation with France, tending to acknowledge the inde, pendence of the South. THE BLAZING RUINS of Greencastle should be a beacon-light to summon us to arms, and a signal to warn us of our danger. The enemy comes with fire and sword, and must be met with fire and sword. The post of danger is the post of duty. It is not a time for discussion, or recrimination, but for ac tion—prompt, energetic action. Past diffe rences, of whatever nature,, sink into insig nificance in the present hour of emergency. As loyal men, whose most cherished inter ests are at stake,' our common peril should be our common bond of union, -If we would save our Commonwealth from shame, our homes from •the torch of the invading ene my, and our fair fields from devastation,, we must respond at once to the call of the Go vernment, and hasten to protect the, threat ened points, and drive back the audacious foe. LEE, by his desperate movement, has invited destruction. Let us precipitate such overwhelming numbers upon his advance as shall delay it until, strengthened by rein forcernents from adjoining States, we can assume the aggressive, and crush the rebel army. IT. IS NOT A TIME for panics, but it is a time for serious alarm. If we would not have the theatre of war transferred from Virginia to Pennsylvania, we must arise and resist the advance of the pneSny. Hitherto we have remained tranquil - and undisturbed in the midst of a gigantic war. Vire hate been too confident—too much assured of our own security--when we should have been arming and drilling. Now that the danger is upon,us, let us endeavor to - repair the mis chievous results of our neglect and apathy. Promptitude, energy, and unanimity may - yet avail to-save us, and if any disaster or disgrace should overtake us, the responsi bility must rest with ourselves. FOR THE FIRST TIME in the history of the war, we are seriously threatened with a realization of its horrors. We have looked upon this struggle for national life as some thing afar off; and hundreds of miles away. We have been accustomed to read of it in the newspapers, and to make it a prominent theme of conversation. We have been wait ing to hear of battles in far-distant States, when we should have been preparing to fight battles at home. When will we realize that our enemy is in earnest in waging war upon the 6overnment, and that all his hopes of success are based upon its destruction ? IF ANY of our citizens have remained in apathy, during the past two days, under the impression that the rebels are merely -making another raid, and that the danger to be apprehended is but temporary, it is time for them to be disabused of such, a fal lacious idea. The enemy is coming with his whole force, and brings with him all the paraphernalia of war. He means to make one more desperate struggle for the State of Maryland. The single proclamation of the rebel General Tuustnrk, inviting -Mary landers to arise and join his army, is sufficient proof of this statement, if any proof were needed. The peril of Maryland is the peril of Pennsylvania. Let us exhibit the same high courage which our sons and brothers have displayed on countless fields, and we may not only avert the peril, but turn it to a good account. THE SI7CCESS of General LEE'S aggres sive movement would mean the fall of our national and State capitals, as well as of Philadelphia and Baltimore, the most im portant and densely populated cities of the Union, .with the exception of New York. Rapine pillage, wantonness. 1 the sacking of cities, towns, and villages; the destruction of all public and private property—these are the fruits of rebel invasion. Men of Penn sylvania; upon you devolves the sacred duty of meeting the invader and driving him from your soil ! Will you accept that duty and act up to all its requirements ?. "MUCH 110.6LNCIER makes great hearts most resolute." In this alarming crisis, it re mains for us to practically exemplify the language of the poet. In the " courage never to submit or yield," which marks the true soldier, the men of Pennsylvania are as brave as any soldiers in th 9 land. They may be undisciplined, and poorly armed, but they will not shrink from any danger, nor hesitate to give battle to any force that LEE may bring againsfiliem. Let the same spirit" animate all our people, and our State will not only be saved, but the insolent ene my, who has dared to press its soil, with the design of ravaging and laying waste, will either be captured or dispersed, and Rich mond will be ours THE EVENTS' of the next few weeks, or perhaps the next few days, must have an im poitant bearing in determining how long the war shall endure. Upon the fate of LEE'S army depends not only the fate of Rich mond, but the fate of the whole of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. If we crush that army, we not oAly virtually restore those States to the 'Union, but, in all probability, we strike a•blow at the rebellion which, before the lapse of many months, will result in its downfall. And, critical though'our own situation may appear, we have never had a more splendid_ opportu nity of striking a 'fatal blow at -LEE's army than now presents itself. Why should we • not inaprove it while yet we have the chance ? WllO WOLFED think of business now ? It is no time to buy arid sell and make mer chandisee. If LEE occupies Harrisburg and holds the Susquehanna, Philadelphia be comes a menaced city, and our homes so many camps and stockades. Then war will be around us, with noise, and blood, and death,, these fair highways so • many barri cades, and the hills of our beautiful Schuyl kill long lizies of embattlements and fortifi cations. All this may now , be met and pre; vented. IN NEW Yowl the bells rang at midnight, and men took up arms. In Cincinnati the stores were closed and business suspended.

Special Despatches to " The Press), On Sunday night some slaves in the neighborhood of Annapolis stampeded, taking with them a wagon and cart, with horses, and a portion of their per sonal effects. They travelled all night, and- at various pointi on the road were •reinforced until their numbers reached seventy-five. Yesterday Morning they were stopped near the lone old fields by a party styling themselves patrols, armed with sbot•guns and pistols, but the party of slaves massed themselves and pushed on, the patrols attempting to stop their progress, etc., driving , them from the trains, and when about one mile from Fort Keige, they fired into the fugitives. They, as is said by one of the slaves, returned the fire, and several other shots were discharged. The party;of fugitives broke and fled, and the" patrols also dispersed. • SO far as is known, two men and one woman of the fugitives were killed and five wounded.

Governor Bradford has issued a proclaniation stating that the quota of Maryland will be organized into eight regiments of infantry, two batteries of ar tillery, and one regiment of cavalry. The City Councils, in answer to 'a call of Mayor Chapman, met tonight and appropriated $400,000 for bounties, each volunteer to receive $6O. The Baltimore battery, commanded by Captain Alexander; covered the retreat of our forces at Ber ryville. It was lost three times, and finally retaken by the 6th Maryland Regiment General Daniel Tyler, who commands at Harper's Ferry, is amply provisioned, and will hold out to the last extremity. Gen. Kenly is in command at Maryland Heights. A gentleman who ' , witnessed the passage of the rebels through Hagerstown says they numbered 8,000 men. They destroyed no property there. They approaohed by Front Royal and Stanton roads. Milroy cut his way' out with five regiments, in cluding the 87th and 88th Pennsylvania Regiments. We had no artillery, and were unable to cope with the rebels. Our force reached Harper's Ferry after 'Milroy. Our men left their knapsacks behind them. The force which attacked Milroy consisted of two full brigades. All is quiet at Frederick. There are no trains running on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road, ' beyond Monocacy. The road, however, is still uninjured. DEPARTMENT OF VIRGINIA. [Special Correspondence of Tti e Preas.ll FORTRESS MONROE, nine 15, 1863 The expedition under General Corcoran, which started from Suffolk on Friday night, has not re turned up to this writing. I mill- not mention .the force which proceeded to the Blackwater, but rest assured it ought to be sufficient to capture all the rebels and their fortifications if they would only fight; but General Davis , brigade, which deserters state to have been stationed near Blackwater bridge, have gone, two weeks ago, to swell the ranks of Lee, leaving only. Jenkins' brigade, which was foe: merly stationed at Franklin, to man their works in that locality. One of the deserters describes the for tifications as unsubstantial ; says they will only con test the passage of the bridge ; as soon as our troops force a passage over that, they will retreats as fast as possible, to avoid Capture. Heavy firing was re ported to have been heard -in the direction of the Blackwater to-day, and the 112th New York and 13th New Hampshire were reported . to have sharplY engaged the enemy, but I do not place any reliance in the rumor. Immediately after the rebels evacuate their en trenchments on the Blackwater, our generals should direct their attention to the bustling town of Wel don, situated about twenty-five miles from Franklin, where concentrate or cross each other, the Peters burg road leading to Richmond, Seaboard and Ro anoke, Raleigh and Gaston, and the Wilmington Radroads. Through this town flows the principal portion of the sustenance which maintains the army about Richmond.

'Avery intelligent conscript informed mei how utterly impossible it was for the'war to lam much longer. The spirit of their leaders is bitter enough, their pugnacity has not diminished a par ticle, neither have they lost confidence in their Con federacy ; but after fighting two years for their inde pendence, they cannot help seeing it is further from their reach than ever., lie told me'all the fightiag material of the South was now in the army; at first, there waemuch chivalry in the ranks, but they were all gone—not one left to support the dignity of the common soldiery. Magnet, disease, and death took hold of them first. What was left procured Substi tutes at ruinous prices ; so that, while we wax stronger and stronger; . the rebels continue to grow fainter and weaker. The rebel Major Hill, who was wounded at Chancellorville, and captured near Gatesville, by some of Major Stratton's-command, arrived here this afternoon. It appears he was not so badly wounded as he feigned, for he got married when he reached his home, and the: first night of his honey moon a number of Yankee cavalrymen tenderly took him from his newly-wedded bride, and the youth ful Benedict is enjoying the • Coarpanionship of a Yankee . soldier, who will not leave him outside of Fort Delaware. • Major Hill was very careful to keep up the semblance of an invalid, and though he did not marry his wife under arms, yet he stood at her side with crutches under his' arms.

Jdne 15.—[Special to the New York Timesd—A. letter in the Knoxville Register, of the 9th, from Meridian, says that the proclamation of Governor Pettus and General Johnston, urgiog the people of Mississippi to rise en masse and take up arm›,will add- little strength to the Southern armies. A few counties will respond nobly to the call for volunteers, but, from all the indications, it will be found Impossible to arouse the population generally. The Mississippians, in many instances, deem Vicksburg as already lost. The Chattanooga Rebel of the 13th contains an ac count of matters near Vicksburg, from a gentleman lately from Central Mississippi. It says it has been generally known that Johnston's army was concentrated at Jackson, with little artillery, means of transportation,-and commissary supplies. We have the strongest assurances, however, that these deficiencies have been supplied. Johnston has his right resting on the Yazoo river, near Yazoo City, and his -left at a point on the Southern Railroad, west of Jackson. 111HEFEBESHORO, June 15.—The Memphis Appeal of the 11th says that Kirby -Smith started up the Tenses on Thursday week, and that during the ab. sense of Gen.

Two hun dred negroes are reported to have been sent out' of lithe city yesterday, Reason, the scarcity of pro visions. Last night another sortie was made by the rebels on McClernanffa line. The firing was sharp for a few minutes, when they withdrew inside the fortifications. All reports of our capture of enemy's forts, since the 23d ultimo ' are untrue. We are fortifying all approaches on the rear flanks. No ordinary force can attack us successfully now, and every day adds to our ability to maintain our position against John ston and compel the surrender of the city. A despatch from Indianapolis, June 11, states that Colonel Balwig, just returned from Vicksburg, re ports that Grant could take the town at any time within three hours ; but he delays because he has some ulterior object, which, Colonel Dal Wig thinks, looks to the annihilation of Johnston or Pemberton. Colonel declares that in front and rear every thing is in Grant's power. Troops were constantly being shipped up the Yazoo.

All the transports are below now, and the gun boats are moving slowly down, covering the re treat. There is no enemy in the immediate vicinity of the fleet.

Last evening, at a meeting of citizens in the Court house, General Cameron made a speech, in which he said, that while he had great confidence in the effi .ciency and ability of the present Commander of this Department, - he thought it would he well if the au thorities would place the militia of the State in the hands of such a loan as General McClellan and General Franklin, in whose leadership the people had every confidence. General Cameron assailed the. Administration, saying that Pennsylvania had furnished thousands of troops to carry on the war, but now, when her sail was invaded, the au thorities at Washington refused to aid her in the hous of peril. He called upon the Governor to send for Gen. McClellan as the man to rally to his stand ard the loyal men of the State. The refugees are now coming in by thousands.

PEnxesrauco, May 16.—The Privateer Florida captured the brig Clarence, from 'Rio de Janeiro for Baltimore with 260 bags collbe, on the Ith ofd May. She pieced twenty men with a swivel gun on board and, sent her cruising. On the Bth May the Florida arrived off Pernambuco and got permission to enter to repair machinery, and receive 140 tons . coal. Great anxiety was felt here for the safety of the - hark Azelia, momentarily - expected from Philadelphia, and. doubtless, would have been captured had the Florida been refused permission to come in, The Azelia arrived here atil A. M., 12th instant, and passed the Florida with - her color, hying. Thousands ,of people were on the beach, watching both vessels. The Florida's time being up; she steamed 'out of, port same day. The American consul has - chartered the British brig Mary Garland to carry to New York about 150 sea men, who arrived here from Fernando de : Noronha, where they were landed by the privateer which took them from captured vessels: Rebel - Address to Maryland.

HAnnrsuir.uo, June 16—Midnight—De : spatches received up to this hour from Ship penaburg, eleven miles this side of Chain bersburg, show [that the rebels are still at the latter place, but in force not exceeding two thousand cavalry, with no infantry. General Jenkins, who commands the rebel forces, ordered all the stores in Chambers burg to be opened at nine o'clock this morning, which was complied with. The mer Chants were forced to take Confederate money in payment for their goods. At 1 o'clock to-day the rebels were drawn up in line of battle on Col. McClure's farm anticipating an attack. " The rebel cavalry to-day occupied Little tow); 11 miles from Gettysburg, but at last accounts they had not advanced beyond that point. The rebel officers at Chambersburg stated that they were only waiting for infantry, when they ..would move forward. The authorities here doubt this statement, and, are inclined to believe that they will not at tempt to move farther North. The farmers in the valley are sending their horses and cattle into the mountains to avoid their fall ing into the hands of the rebels. The rebels are gathering up all' the negroes that can be found with the intention of taking them along. So far as heard from, private pro; perty has been respected. Last night they burned the railroad, bridge . across Scotland creek, six miles this side of Chambersburg. The excitement here is subsiding, although hundreds of women and children left the city 'during . the day. Several citizens, on leaving; were hooted and groaned by the crowd assembled at the dePfit.

The authorities have information, which. has not been confirmed up to the present time, that the rebels are at New Market, Pa.,-with a force of 20,000 or 25,000 men. The hotels are filled with delegates to the Democratic Convention, which meets to morrow. Clymer and Witte are the two most prominent candidates for Governor. The friends of both are hard at work. The Governor of New Jersey has tender ed Pennsylvania the services of many men, which have been accepted.

The steamer sailed the instant the search was over. The Brazilian minister had left London .for Paris. In--the House of Cominons, Mr. Crawford - asked if a claim for damages bad been made in the case of the schooner Will.o , .the-Wiep, seized in Mexican waters, near Matamoros, last July, by a Federal cruiser, but released by the court at Key West. Mr. Layard said that the statement involved a question which had not been proved, and was liable -to doubt—namely, that the vessel was seized in Mexican waters. The Prize Court decided that the vessel should be released, but thought there were sufficient grounds to warrant the seizure, and re fused to give damages. The only course for the own ers was an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. The negotiations were nearly _completed for a transfer of the Hudson Bay Company's rights to the British Government. _ .

Trim FLORAL FAIR at COnLett _Hall Was again thronged yesterday and last evening, With a brilliant assemblage. All are delighted, on visiting it, at the splendor of the scene. In the evening the tables fairly glitter with bead-yrork, glass s and silver ware, wan. the quantities of dowels perfume the large and richly-decorated hall. Table No. 6 repre sents" the " Penn Pellet Association." It is well sup plied with fancy goods, as well as numerous articles for domestic use. On this table the useful and orna mental are well blended, in addition to "comforts" for the inner man. Table No. S represents the " Ci tizens' Volunteer Hospital.""lt, like the others, is tastefully decorated, has numbers of hanging baskets, wreaths, flowers, and silver ware. Ladies zealous in, promoting the objects of the fair are in attend ance, who, in their manners; are social and agree able. Table No. 10, in style of erection, is different from the others. The front is a Gothic arch of ever greens. This " Style" does not admit of decoration ; hence its beauty is in its plainness. It is well sup plied with caskets, needle-work, cushions, and bou quets of natural flowers. One monster bouquet, on a pedestal of evergreens attracts considerable atten tion. At the back of this table is a profusion of flags encircling the word "Germantown," which hospital it represents. Their refreshment table is in the lower saloon. On it, also, are - some attractive bouquets. Table No. 11 represents the. Nicetown Hospital. It is beautifully decorated, well supplied with vases, hanging baskets, wax fruit, and bouquets. We would suggest to our readers to visit the hall during the day and examine the numerous handsome articles on the tables. This afternoon 'there will be another levee for school children ; this evening an other brilliant illumination and grand promenade concert. See programme in another column. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND bIIICIDE.— Between 8 and ,9 o'clock last evening; several reports of a revolver, in the third story of the rear part of the boarding.house at the southeast corner of Third and Evelina streets, above Sprude, attracted general attention in the neighborhood, and created great ex citement and alarth in the house. On rushing to the room occupied by a young married man named Ed win Kerr and his wife, he was found lying on the floor mortally wounded, and she on the bed bleeding freely. He shot his -wife first, but -it seems she was only slightly_ wounded. He then put the,re volver to the side of hie head, and pulled the trigger. The ball glanced, without - entering his skull. He then placed the muzzle to his , breast, fired, and fell mortally wounded, the ball penetrating the -region of the heart. Jealousy is alleged to be the cause of the rash and cowardly act. He and his wife had been -boarding for several months at the house wherein the tragedy was. enacted. He appeared to be of a very jealous disposition, but it, is thought the green•eyed monster certainly made the. meat it fed upon in this instance. Physicians were speedily called in to attend theunfortunate parties. THE STRAWBERRY AND FLORAL FESTI VAL, which is to be held this evening, in the lecture room of St. John's Episcopal Church, corner of Brown and St. John streets, is to raise funds to pay off some indebtedness necessarily incurred in the improvement of the edifice. This church , is One of the.oldest Episcopal churches in this city. The Gos pel privileges that so many there have enjoyed in its palmiest days should induce them now.to come for ward in this its hour of need. - Special efforts have been made by. the noble ladies who have the matter in charge tomake this feast of good things an inci dent to be remembered with pleasure in days here after. We trust to see a large attendance, - not only of the youth'and beauty of the northern section of the city, but also those of more mature years, who in former days attended services r at this sanctuary. Tickets for the festival -(which lie only. for this evening) can be bad at the door, or of.
