PENNSYLVANIA, SS
In the Name and by the Authority
OP THE
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,
ANDREW G. CURTIN,
GOVERNOR OF THE BED COMMONWEALTH.
A PROCLAMATION.
TEE State of Pennsylvania is again threaten
ed with invasion and an army of rebels are
approaching our border.
The President. of the United States has issued
his proclamation calling upon the State for'
fifty thousand men. I now.appeal to all the
citizens of Pennsylvania who love liberty and
are mindful of the history and traditions of
their Revolutionary fathers, and Who feel that'
it is a sacred duty to.guard and maintain the
free institutions of our , country, who-hate trea
son and its abettors, and who are 'willing to
defend their homes and their firesides,' and do
invoke them to rise in their might, and rnsh
to the rescue in this hour of imminent peril.
The issue is one of preservation or destruc
tion; it invokes considerations paramount to
all matters of mere expediency ;' and all ques
tions of local interest, all ties, social arid, poli
tical, all impulses of a personal, and partisan
character,sink by comparisonintoinsignificance:
It is now to be determined , by deeds, and not
by words alone, who are for us and who are'
against us.
That it 10 the purpose of the enemy to invade
our borders with all the stiength he can com
mand Is now apparent.
Oar only depsrelance rests upon the'-deter
mined actim of the citiz'ans of our free Com
monwealth. "
1„now, •therefore, call upon the people of
Pennsylvania capable of bearing arms to enroll
themselves in military organizations; and to
encourage ail others to give aid and assistance
to thit efftrts which will be pat forth for the
prctection of the State and the salvation of our
common country.
Given under ruy hand and the Great Seal of the
State, at Harrisburg, the fifteenth day of
June, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and . sixty-three, and of the
Conamonviealth the eighty-seveuth. •

THE SITUATION:
Let no man believe the stories circulateii by
copperheads this morning, that we are-more
secure aow than : we were yftterday.---,,
It is done to, discourage enlistment and retard
preparation:for our defence. •
The rebels are lying at Chambersbnig in their
entrenchments. well , fortified with pickets,. e 2.-
tended six miles ont.of -toWil, waiting for Te
snforcementsc and wherusver, they arrive .- a fOr
ward movement May be Made at any time by
the men who have been resting for two •clays
past, and their places will be filled by. the*
weary. Such is the real-state of the case.
It is true wa are now partially prepared to
meet the foe, and we gnarantee thein a 'waim
receptiob with powder and shell ; yet:we must,
continue our orgenizotion—we ramityecialt ad
ditional Men, and prepare not only to :defend
ourselves, but we must capture 'the Invaders.
Let this . be the determination of. every- patriot.
Troops arrived last.night, and
~continue to poor
in, every railroad train bringing additional
men, and we shall be able to defend the city,
which will be done at all hazards. Transporta

In Maryland the situation 4s unchanged.
Our forces In Harper's Ferry are safe, and up
to eight o'clock last evening no offtnsive move•
meat against them had been made. A. few
rebel cavalry had shown themselves at Point of
Rocks, but we cannot learn that they did any
damage. The cars run only as fdr as Itionocacy
Junction, four miles from Frederick. The lat
ter city is in our possession, whilst the rebels
hold Hagerstown and Williamsport.
While it may not be pruden t to mention
Geneial Hooker's whereabouts, yet all loyal
hearts can lest assured that he has taken mea
sures that will checkmate the operations of the
rebels.
Official advicea from Vicksburg, dated the
11th, have been received. They are of a most
cheering general character. Oar artillery and
mortars continue at intervals to play upon the
the town. Three females who were put outside
of the city by,,General Pemberton assert that
the garrison is short of ammunition, provisions
scarce and not to be bought at any. price. The
garrison is subaisting on . qoarter rations;:inain
ly n?orn. meal and . peas. The women-and
children seek shelter in;caves from our *tot ,
and shell, which fall heavily.: on the city, and
consequently but fewlives are lost among them.

Let this prompt reply satsify all loyal men who
ask us, what is the Government and General
Rooker doing.
The Rebel Organ.
We hope every loyal Democrat will read the
Tory Organ of this morning, and ask himself
the question, is it possible that the rebel gece
ral Lee has been permitted to edit that concern.
It says that the TELsortarrr has been suppressed
by the order of General Lee. If such be the
fact, it gives the permission to the Tory Organ
to publish its sheet, and it has well espoused
the rebel cause. The article headed "The
Rebel Invasion" must have been written by
none other than a rebel who has been permit
ted to eat'the bread of loyal men.
THE SUES AND STRIPES which protected the
Tory Organ from violence by the returned sol
diem several weeks ago, and which were display
ed at the office np to the time the rebels entered
into Pennsylvania, has quietly been withdrawn.
Was this one of the first orders of General Lee ?

below, and learning the bad ilia of affairs, re
turned for reinforcements of tillery and a
gunboat Both were started up, .d the gun-
boat Choctaw arrived upon the spot early on
Sunday morning, to find that the rebels had
returned. Dining the night they had busied
themselves gathering large numbers of mules
together, and when day broke started them
forward, using them as a means of protection,
while they followed close behind. They were
promptly met by our troops this time, behind
their breastworks.
Gradually the rebels moved their line, sacri
ficing their mules to the rifle shots, and opened
upon the works with rifles, shot guns, and ar
tillery ; but they made little by their strategy.
They had got fairly engaged when the gunboat
Choctaw came in for her share in the fight,
tiring with effect, her heavy guns, charged with
shell. An unfortunate shot from the Choctaw,
it is said, killed several members of the negro
regiment. It was owing to the fact that she
was not able to raise her guns sufficiently to fire
above them. This was remedied.
The fight continued, and when the. Choctaw
succeeded in getting range, she-seat such a
storm of shot and shill into the rebel ranks
that, after being once or twice rallied, they
broke into disorder and fled, taking off their
dead and wounded. It was impossible for my
informant to learn the extent of our loss, but
it must have been heavy.. One hundred col
ored men fell. The enemy's lohs wits also con
siderable, and up to the latest dates on Monday,
when the steamer Niagara left for Memphis,
they had not returned to renew the attack.
Should they do so, sufficient reinforcements in
artillery have been forwarded to give .them
Sadden and effectual quietness.
