If there be an able-bodied young man, with
none positively dependent upon his labor or
care in all this great Commonwealth, who can
read the last Proclamation of Gorv. Curtin with
out conaciencesmitings and shame, be is not
to be envied. Of what are Pennsylvanians
guilty, that such a rebuke and bitter reproach
must blot the page of our State ? Time
was when the ancestors of tbe men who have
waxed rich in the Cumberland Valley, poured
out (heir blood as water in defence of their
hearths, homes, and rights. Has that blood
deteriorated by transfer, or become corrupted
bjy transmission from sire to son, that it turns 1
to water at the approach of armed traitors f
Had every district in Pennsylvania respond*
eti os nobly and promptly as did this borough
and the region adjoining, Lee’s army had been
checked on the border. Cut this is no lime for
recrimination. It is never too lafb to repair
such neglects. Pennsylvania demands the ser
vices of sixty thousand of her citizens. ShaE
that demand be complied with,? Young men
and idlers—how will you meet the judgment of
a discerning posterity if you fail to rally to the
aid of the Commonwealth in this hour of trial!
How can you endure the contempt of a critical
public if you, with no earthly burden but un
employed time to detain you from the field, re-
fuse to respond to this appeal of your State !
The quota of Tioga county is 550 men. The
term of service is sixty days. These men can
"be found among the non-producers. They can
be raised without crippling the industrial inter
ests essentially’; and a healthy public opinien
woufif convert service under this call into A de
sirable alternative. Until such a healthy pub-
lic opinion is universal we can never triumph
over the formidable wrong that threatens the
Commonwealth with devastation.
But this quota mest be furnished ; by volun
teering if possible, by draft, if necessary. Let
it be by draft and service for three years is in
evitable, unless the war sooner ends. Wisdom
to voluntary service as the best. Let
every ope choose for himself.
“ IE ”..ITB VALUE.
“ If," is a contraction of the word “ give,"
is equivalent to “ grant,”: “ allow," “ admit,"
and in use introduces subject matter in which
some condition is implied or expressed.
Perhaps this odd introductory sentence may
prove relevant to what wo have to say. Let us
sec:
B has erected a splendid block of buildings
in the business heart of a largo town. He
lets this block to various persons, tradesmen
aud mechanics. Everything goes prosperously
on, and B, with his tenants find mutual profit
in tbe arrangement. But some night half-a
dozen men wait un G, and inform him that his
splendid block must come dowo. They notify
his tenants that they must remove their goods
and wares. B protests; his tenants protest;
but the demand is enforced.“ The demandants
place powder under tbe structure, apply the
match, and tbebleck falls in upon itself a mass
of ruins. B finds himself some thousands out
of pocket, and many tradesmen and mechanics
find themselves without a place of business.
What no outrage ! What an infraction of
the rights of property and of domicil, as guar
antied to the citizen by the Constitution !—you
may say. I‘ee, —in the light of this ex parte
statement, the proceeding appears a stupendous
outrage. .
But hold. Ir at the very time of the perpe
tration of this destructive deed tbe business
portion of the,town was in flames ; ir the tor
-rent of fire bad got- headway beyond the con
troiDf-rjrdinary appliances to subdue it; ir, in
the judgmebtruf the authorities, tjle destruction

of B’» property was the condition of Miration
for the property of jc, D, E, F, and many others
—property worth tens, or hundred* of thou
sands of dollars—why, then the outrage disap
pears, and the deed is at once, sanctioned by
correct public opinion. We here see one of the
value* of “ if."
JLDLY ,1. 1863.
But suppose some man in that -community
sheuld visit regions distant from the scene of
the conflagration, and relate the fact of the de
struction, carefully concealing the attendant
circumstances; and-should charge that -in the
community he had left the rights, privileges,
and immunities of the citizen were utterly dis
regarded would you consider such a man in
the light of an honest, honorable man, a friend
of the community he maligned ? or would you
eet him down as a scoundrel, from surface to
marrow 1 • And if, on being rebuked by some
one cognizant of tile facta and circumstances,
he should-protest that he bad the interests of
that community at heart, —would you hesitate
to, mark him down a liar ?
Now, A, meeting B, strikes him down, dead.
Ais arrested and'thrown into prison. On this
statement, A is a homicde, and fallsunder the
severest displeasure of the law. But on inves
tigation !it appears that B drew a pistol upon
A,-who' killed the former in self-defence. So
the killing is declared justifiable and A is dis
charged.
We offer these in in illustration of the famil
iar proposition: CiitccusTATtcEs. alter Cases.
—A proposition utterly ignored by a class of
> political gamblers, who aspire to rule or ruin.
These are times of deep trouble. We regard
the issues of this hour as Prudential,' intend
ed to conduct this nation up to a manhood and
prime that history shall pronounce noble and
grand. We do not believe in the possibility of
accidental happenings in the development of
the Almighty plan. ,We consequently reject
the oft-repeated assertion that this war might
have been prevented by any human mea,ns.
We also regard the law of Necessity as the or
ganic law of the universe. By that lavy every
man, and every community of men, are held
strictly to account for every intelligent action.
This nation hat sinned against the light from
the hour it cast its cradle-bands; it must there
fore suffer. As the punishment is laid on, so
must it he borne; andhe who sits down anti
repines, or grumbles about taxes for the common
defence; or he who seizes upon this season of
public disorder to mislead the ignorant, mould
the, weak, and inflame the vicious, to the end that
any man, or any set'of men may be benefited —
that man deserves to have' no country. And the
latter named is deserving of the measure of
scorn and loathing that every honest man
would mete out to the suppositious scoundrel
described in the introductory illustration above.
Circumstances alter cases. The rule in times
of profound peace is altogether inadequate to
the emergencies that constantly present them
selves in times of civil war. Else, the institu
tion of martial law had never been provided
for. The so-called democrats who protest
against the arrest, and trial by military courts,
of men who, like Vallandigham, counsel resist
ance to tbs execution of necessary laws, are
either ignorant or wickedly factious ; if ignor
ant, they are to be be pitied ; if factious, they
aro simply aud only traitors, and deserve to
be by every true man. To us
a villain is not the less a villain because of po
sition or vocation. Be be in rags or in purple
—if his lips drop lies he is a liar, and nothing
belter. And if a man be falsa to bis country
he cannot be true to any man. Such is our
rule, and such our practice ; for we are as ear
nest in our haired of treason as in our love of
fidelity. Therefore we ignore the subtle lines
established by jpettifogging politicians, which
leave us in dojbt as to the margin where truth
ends and treason commences, and draw a line
so broad that not even a child can mistake the
boundary.
THE INVASION OF PEKK&Yt VAXIA!
Fighting at Harrisburg !!!
TOAEMS! TOAEMS!
There is no doubt but that the entire rebel
army under Lee is now north of the Potomac
and advancing rapidly upon Harrisburg and
Philadelphia.
All the principal towns and villages in the
Cumberland Valley are occupied by the rebels.
York, and Wrigbtsvtllo opposite Columbia, are
also in rebel hands, and the mala body is ad
vancing on Harrisburg.
Tho citizens of Harrisburg, 3000 in number,
have been armed, formed into companies, and
sent across the river to tho entrenchments.
Despatches from Harrisburg so late as 6 p,
m., of Sunday, report the rebels within 3 miles
of the city, and throwing shells. Our troops
were in the intrenehments awaiting the onset.
The occupation of York cuta the railroad
communication with ; Baltimore by the North
ern Central railway.’ Several bridges have
been burned between York and Hanover Junc
tion,
There whs r skirmish between a detachment
of our militia and a force of rebels at Wrights
rille, opposite Columbia, in which our troops
were forced -to retire across the bridge. The
bridge was burped to prevent the rebels from
crossing. i
The resia are said to have a pontoon train
approaching the river Below York. '
The Army of the Potomac is closing in upon
the rebel tear, and will soon-be on the Penn
sylvania border.
Gen. Hooker has been relieved and Gen.
Meade appointed to the command. The Gov
ernment is hopeful of a favorable result from
the transfer of the battle-ground from Virginia
to Pennsylvania.
■ The State militia are hastening' to the field
under .the last call of the Governor.
The prejudice againal colored troops has dis
appeared at Harrisburg and adjacent regions.
Two companies of colored troops have been ac
cepted and sent to the front.
The news from Vicksburg is still favorable.
Grant has still further closed in upon the city,
and has silenced all their big guns.
Proclamation by Osy. Curtin. -
Pennsylvanians ; The enemy is advancing
Joto Pennsylvania. He has a strong column
within 23 miles of Harrisburg, and other col
umns are moving by pulton and Adams Coun
ties ; and it can no longer be doubted that a
formidable invasion of our State is in actual
progress. .
The calls already made for volunteer militia,
in the exigency, have hot been met as fully as
the crisis requites.
I therefore now issue this, my proclamation,
calling for 60,000 men to come promptly for
ward to defend the State.
They will be mustered into the service of the
State for a period of sixty days, but will be re
quired to serve snly for so much of the period
of muster os the safety of our people and the
honor of our State may require.
They will rendezvous at points to he desig
nated in the general order to be issued this day
by the Adjutant-General of Pennsylvania,
which order will also set forth the details of
the arrangements for their organization, clo
thing, subsistence, equipment, and supplies.
I will not insult you with inflammatory ap
peals. A people who want the heart to defend
their soil, their families, are not worthy to be
accounted men. - -
Deed not the counsels of evil-disposed per
sons, if such there he, in your midst. Show
yourselves what you ate—a free, loyal, spir
ited, brave, vigorous race.
Do not undergo the disgrace of'leaving your
defense mainly to the citizens of other States.
In defending the soil of Pennsylvania we
gre contributing to the support of our National
Government, and vindicating our fidelity to the
National cause.
Pennsylvania has always heretofore respond
ed promptly to all the calls made by the Fed
eral Government, and I.appeal to you not now
to be unmindful that the foe that strikerat our
State strikes through our desolation at the life
of the Bcpublic.
Our people are plundered and driven from
their homes solely because of their loyalty and
fidelity to free institutions.
People of Pennsylvania! 1 owe to you all my
faculties, my labors, my life 1 You own to your
country your prompt and zealous services and
efforts.
The time has now co.me when we must all
stand or fall together in the defence of our
State, and in support of our Government.
Let us discharge our duty so that posterity
shall not blush for us. Com* heartily and
cheerfully to the rescue of out noble Common
wealth. Maintain now your honor and free
dom. A. G. CUJftTIN,
From the Six Month* Volunteer*.
Ciiip Cletin, Haebisbueoh, Pa., 1
June 24, 18C3. 1
Friend Cobb : I redeem my promise to write
you, at the earliest passible moment. But
words are not the soldiers weapon, and I am
very buisy, therefore, I will be brief.
We arrived at Troy,on the day of our de
parture, in time to meet the 6 o’clock evening
train, and immediately embarked for Uarris
burgh, where we arrived 1 o’clock Sunday
morning, June list.
The subsistence Department, consisting of a
dry goods box, well packed with fresh bread,
butter, beans, crackers, cheese, beef and etc.,
then had to suffer—grow “ smaller by degrees
and beautifully less.”
The depot platform was oup resting place
until 4 o’clock in the morning; What f (do
you say !) lay down on a plank, with perhaps
a stick of wood for a pillow ?
Ob, yes; that’s nothing; rather luxurious
you know—if you know enough about it.
Reaghed Camp Curtin at 5 o’clock—had the
company examined—a mere fprm, a causual
glance, accepted ae young as 15 years, in fact,
any and all that can carry n musket —were
mustered in, for “ 6 months, unless sooner dis
charged”—issued requisitions for rations, uni
form, blankets and everything except arms,
which were filled and drawn, by 4 o’clock the
same day.
Eight young men from Tioga village joined
the company, making 46 all told, who were
sworn in Sunday 21st.
The company has since been increased by 7
men from Lebanon county, and 11 men with
Lieutenant Bobt. Young from Vfellaboro, and
vicinity —total 66.
I am authorized by the Governor to fill the
company to 101, although it is accepted with
the present numbers. The company is A num
ber 1, as far ae age and morals is concerned;
of course their military knowledge is to be ac
quired. There has yet, since we left your place,
been no instance of disgraceful drunkenness
| or disorderly conduct, and there will not be, if
military discipline and moral principle will pre
vent it.
There are about fifteen thousand (15,000)
i troops here, and perhaps one thousand .(1,000)
coming and departing daily—and have been
for about one week. The majority of them
are “ emergency men,” sworn into the United
States service (and theretoie beyond recall by
the Governor) to be held as long as the emer
gency lasts, be it three weeks or three years—
and when sent home, they take their arms with
them and are subject to be called into the ser
vice, whenever needed, during the war. Our
Six-months volunteers simply say; “ Let them
emerge,” as six-months service saves from the
draft and whop discharged, it is for three years,
at least, as drafted men will fill the army to all
needful strength. • t
These men for the emergency are organized
immediately and sent into the Jield —without
even the shadow of preparation, either in com
pany drill or the manual of arms ; while the
six-month* volunteers, being fewer in number
are to be kept here at Camp Curtin, until they
become more or less schooled in movements
and the use of arms.
New York has sent, and is still sending on
men, but they go to the front, and will be re
turned to their State as soon as our state shall
fully respond, to the President’s call for 50,000
Pennsylvanians. 'New York has poured out
troops like water and no doubt saved the Capi
tal from sack by her noble response. -
Our State is answering pretty well to this
call, yet 1 think it quite doubtful as to her
filling it up. : Woil, the draft will do it.
The people must not nettle over the draft,
when they would not close so favorable a bar-,,
gain to.escape-lit—l mean those who were sub
ject to draft, japd (so circumstanced that they
could leave home without disturbing their fam
ilies' ’) * •
I found circumstances as favorable here as l
could possibly have desired; but what elicits
the broadest and most good-natured smile from
CoL Beaver—-commander of camp—is the re
ports of in coming six-months companies. You
may judge of the want of men, when I tell
you the examining Surgeon accepted one man
with only one eye, but the mastering GffiOer
(being a better military man) rejected him
only because it was the right eye gone, as a man
cannot Arabia musket le/2 handed, according to
Ibe “ manual of arms.” I had two men re
jected : Nathan Broughton—rheumatism: and,
George Putman,—loss of right eye.
These men were furnished with
tion and rations bonus as all rejected are.
I refused 20 men from Philadelphia who
wanted to enlist in the company; refused them
from the fact that they were not morally fit,
although they may have been . physically so.
They were “ red noses," while the majority of
the'company a* to morals, is good.
I will send -you a muster- roll of the com
pany, as soon as it is filled a little, fuller, and
the non-commissioned officers are elected.
Ib the meantime if any good, man wants to
enlist for six months service, send, him on. and
be shall be received in a company where not
one wishes to come home" before his time.
Meanwhile, you who stay at home remember
this; We will endeavor to look after the Rattle
snake, but you-must take care of the snake which
dont rattle. If you want tiny help, call on the
six-months volunteers. Volunteer.
Speech by a “Conservative.”
Among the speaker* at a great Union Meet
ing in Springfield, Ohio, on the,llth, was Gen.
S. F. Carey, of Cinoinnati, well known here
abouts aa a conservative gentleman of the
strictest sect. In closing his remarks, Gen.
Carey said;
“ Now a few words on the politics of partic
ular men. 1 was not in favor of Fremont’s
proclamation, hut I have got-religion since
then. This war will not cease until slavery is
sunken. It has been the economy of God in
all the past history to make slayeholding na
tions fight for the removal of the cause.
'■ Not at first, but now I am in favor of
using negroes in any way to assist in putting
down the Rebels. Let us save the Union and
the Constitution, and God will take care of the
white and the black races.
"When you hear a man vaporing about Mr.
Lincoln’s breaking the Constitution, with noth
ing to say about Jeff. Davis, set him dofth as
a traitor.
“ If you think Mr. Lincoln weak, then the
greater scoundrel you are if you do not help
him. ,
“ A Rebel has two rights—a constitutional
right to be hung, and a divine right to be
damned. God bless Mr. Lincoln with all his
faults.
“ We ate making history, let u« pledge each
other to make it welf.
“ The Rebels arT" guilty of a crime, but we
shall be guilty of a greater one if we do not
crush them.”
Loyal Men and Traitors. —ln his able
charge to the Grand Jury of this county, Judge
Pearson draws a clear distinction between loyal
men and traitors, which it would be well for ev
ery.oitizen carefully to bear in mind. We con
dense and append this distinction for the ben
efit of those whom it cbnoerns:
“Citizens have aright under the provisions
of the Constitution to change their rules at the
expiration of their term of office, and elect those
who will administer the public affairs differ
ently—but no one has the right to destroy the
Government itself; every 3uch act is high trea
son. .In a contest like that now waging in this
country, all whose feelings wishes and sympa
thies are with the rebels, are traitors in their
hearts ; and all who render them aid and com
fort, directly or indirectly, artjraitors in their
acts. All who are not for the Government
are against it. Ik inis great struggle for
national existence there can be bdt two par
ties, TREE MEN ANUTRAITOES —THERE CAN BE NO
neutrals. Every-titan receiving the protection
of the Government is bound, to render it his
warmest support, whether heapprotes or disap
proves of its administration.
The charge from which the above has been ,
condensed, is creating a most profound sensa
tion throughout the Commonwealth, as being a
timely, fearless, lucid and just exposition of
tho duty we owe to the Government. Men of
all parties who are loyal, conlmend this charge
as being among the ables that has ever emana
ted from the bench of Pennsylvania.—Harris

On Fatting Down the Rebellion,
In his recent speech at the great Anniversary
meeting at Madison Square,-New York, John
Van Buren said:
“ I do not'believe that simply belonging to
the democratic party, will war that has
been going on these two years. Since I be
longed to the parly, Jeff. Davis claimed to be a
member, so did Mason and .Slidell. Ido not
see that that ends the war.’ What would be
thought of the passengers of a ahip, who, in a
dreadful gale, found that the vessel had sprung
a leak, and who would say to the others, “ Find
out where the leak is; stop it at all hazards;
ifrour masts are all carried away, rig a jury
mast-; if you can’t save the ship, save the pas
sengers ; construct a raft; be sure and save :
your livetfTand as for the rest, toe will sit hei't
and grumble; we belong to the Democratic;
party.” .[Laughter.] If the ship had to ho
lightened to he saved it is easy to see what part
of the cargo ought to have.been-thrown over
board. [Applause and laughter.]
There is but one thing to do—that is, to
fight- DitTanybody ever hear that when people
moke war upon you', you are to supplicate for
peace ? Why, if we are conquered, of course
we must sue for peace ; but. if we are not con
quered, then all we have to do is to fight. Sup
pose a man came up to you, and took you by
ttje throat, would you call upon your friends to
see upon what terms he would settle ?- [Laugh
ter.] I know of no way except to defend your
self by assailing him in his mosLvulnerable
part. [Applause.] ~
