Mb In the name and by the authority of yaw .: the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. ANDREW G. CURTIN. A PROCLAMATION. Wassass, An armed rebellion exists in a portion of the States of this Union, threaten ing- tile destruction of the National Govern ment, periling public and private property, en dangering the peace and security of this Com monwealth, and inviting systematic piracy upon our commerce; and WHERMIII, Adequate provision does not exist by law to enable the Executive to make the Military power of the State as available and efficient as it should be for the common de fence of tha State and the General Government, and Waimea,- An occaßion .so extraordinary re quires aprompt exercise of the Legislative power of the State; therefore, I, ANDRSW G. Cutrrm, Governor of the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania, by virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution, do berebYtdintrene the General Assembly of this Commonwealth, and require the members of the Senate and House of Representatives to meet in their respective Houses, in the Capitol at Htiiiiiburg, on TIIESDAY,THE THIRTIETH DAY OF APRIL, A. D. one thousand eight hun dred and sixty-one, at twelve o'clock noon of that day, then and there to take into consideration and adopt such measures in the premises as the exigency may seem to them in their wisdom to demand. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the Common wealth to be affixed at Harrisburg, this 'twen tieth day of April in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-sixth. By the Governor. ELI SLIFER, Secretary V the Commonwealth Extra Telegraph We have concluded to issue a regular Morn ing Edition of the TZLIGRAPtI hereafter and made arrangements accordingly. All the tele graphic dispatches that appear in the Philadel phia and New York papers will appear in our morning odition, twelve hours in advance. The morning edition can be obtained at Bean nart's Bocasrons every morning. Toe SECRETARY Or Wan, Gen. Cameron, is putting his mighty energies to their utmost use, and in this momentous crisis, is wielding the immense influence which so justly be longs to him. In our telegraphic despatches, and in every newspaper that we receive, these labors are spoken of in the highest terms of commendation and gratitude. He meets, either in person, or through his depart ., the soldiers gathering in the capital for its • toe, and has a word of council and encour ageolent for every soldier. In this connection, it is only just to mention the services of a son of the Secretary of War, J. D. Cameron, Esq. This gentleman has neither waited for a com mission or an order, but emulating the energies of his father, has done his utmost in facilita ting the passage of troops from this and other points to Washington city. In the hour of peril and danger, the services of such men cannot be too highly commended. CAPT. HENRY HANBRIGHT arrived IN Harris burg yesterday, with his company, the Lama * Rifle. It is not our purpose to make invi dious distinctions when all men are so gallantly emulous in performing their duty in a perilous crisis; but we cannot refrain from referring es pecially. to Capt. Hambright. He has the blood of a solder in all his veins, and is as brave's man as ever drew a sword in defence of his nation. During the last war, he won im perishable laurels, which he now brings to lay on the altar of his country, offering them and himself a sacrifice to preserve the law and maintain the Union. The men under the com mand of Capt. Hambright partake of his daring spirit, and when battle comes, the :Lancaster Rifle will seek victory at the bayonet's point and cannon's mouth. As we wrote above, we do nobleWet° make any invidious distinctions. The gallantry and daring of all our brave vol unteers are beyond question,—and in the hour of danger, they will prove their devotion to the Unron. BLit& BALTIMORB BB TEM BATILB GROVHD is a question which some of our very best sol diers are now asking themselves.. Shall the army of this government marching to the de fence of tkgitapital, be forced from its direct road by a brutal mob f These are grave ques tions, and no .time should be lost in pondering the issues which they present. So far as Mary land is concerned, we still have faith in the loyal feeling of a large class of her citizens, but if they are unable to give the military from tifirNorth and West a safe transit through their territory, we must force our way at the point of the bayonet 1 We have succumbed already to too much of mob spirit, to be de terred now by talk of the danger of precipitat ing matters in Baltimore, and unless we meet the mob spirits in that city,with a firm and de termined front, the road to the National Capi tal will choked up with the legions of tree ion and onr brave defenders who are already there, fall an easy prey to the traitors. It is a question now who shall hold and possess the seat of government. If the administration of Lincoln Is forced from the Capital, and Jeff Davis succeeds in getting possession of the 84 chives and Rale, before the nations of the world he will demand recognition as the gov ernment, di facto, of the 'United States. Our salvation now is in prompt and speedy action. We have no time to parley. If our troops cannot pass through Baltimore in safety, make this city responsible. We have a navy that shoillat once be ordered in to the waters of that poit,wilch, with shell and shot, might doubtlesi inffre the mob of that city to give the defenders of the Capital a courteous wel come instead of a hostile rejection. WI WANT THE PEOPLE to remember that this war was commenced for no other purpose than that of forcing the civilization of the North to yield to the barbarism of the South. Not con tent with being allowed to pursue their own paths—not satisfied with having been sup ported in their retrogression—not appeased with innumerable compromises, and not willing to submit to the competition which common wealths, as well as nations, undergo in their developement and progress, the Southern peo ple, or their leaders, are determined to plunge this whole hemisphere into the horrors of civil war and riotous rebellion. For this purpose they have been preparing themselves secretly, as the history of the last six years attests. Ter ritorial aggrandizement was first made the medium of strengthening their institutions.— By the addition of new States they hoped to make the South supreme in the councils of the nation. They sought these additions in every shape and form—looking first to the absorption of Mexico as the simplest means of accom plishing their objects, and next to the purchase or acquisition of Cuba, as the best policy to embroil the country in a foreign war, the end of which was designed to cripple and prostrate the labor of the free States, and thus give to slavery a surer road to empire abroad, prepon derance at home, with the ultimate control of an entire continent. Any man acquaint ed with the history of legislation for the past twelve years, understands how persist ently the advocates of slavery have been pushing that peculiar institution into every measure of legislation, that was sought legiti mately to benefit any of the other great sections of the country. We all know that on the floor of Congress, it is forced in antagonism to any policy not directly subserving its interests, and that its advocates make this institution the standard by which to measure their friends and try their enemies. These aro plain facts, which we wish to impress on the minds of Northern and Western men. They are neither adduced in condemnation or approval of any political party, but brought forward to show that the rebellion against which we are now compelled to take up arms, is one of the unholiest, most desperate and damnable in intent and purpose that ever was led on or provoked by ambition, lust, passion or hatred. It has not a single re deeming feature. It is designed only to de stroy the good those who are engaged in it cannot equal. It is an aristocracy neither of intellect or of industry, but of desperate game sters, struggling to get possession of the Gov ernment, that they may reduce the labor which has made it great and powerful, to a level with their own slaves ! This is the purpose of this re bellion. It is neither to vindicate a right laid down by justice or contained in the Constitu tion, but merely the efforts of the slave holders of this nation to bring its free white inhabi tants within their control. They have told us that the object of their Government was to make slavery the condition of all labor. They have declared that labor reduced to this condi tion was unequal to the responsibilities of self government, and that therefore the producing classes to become useful as well as successful, must be held in subjection, bondage, slavery ! What a picture is here presented for the con templation of the civilized world t One portion of this country, devoted to every improvement which science or art have yet suggested, quietly and peaceably pursuing its conquests through all the avenues of genius and industry, is sud denly startled from its achievements by grim visaged war and rash rebellion We are boldly told that the labor we encourage and protect must end its triumphs. That the civilization we have cultivated and extended must be ar rested and abridged—and that standing in awe and obedience before these unnatural and un reasonable behests, we must patiently yield the order, security and impartiality of a gov ernment that was baptised in patriot blood be fore it was bequeathed to us, and accept one of doubtful guarantee from the hands of traitors and assassins. We are asked to forget the re miniscences of Lexington and Bunker Hill, and accept as history the piracy of a mutinied navy and the treason of a revolted army. Let us ponder these truths fairly and candidly before going into this struggle, and when we have done so, the conviction will carry the innumer able hosts of our Northern army beyond the banks of the Potomac, to seek treason in its congenial climate of the South, and demand reparathm and dictate terms at the doors of its own temples in South Carolina and Mississippi. If we expect peace hereafter, we must not pantie on the steps of the Capitol and be satisfied with seeing our banners floating from its lofty domes. The stars and stripes must take the place of the rattlesnake—they must float from the very pinnacles of treason, the insult which has been offered atoned la the blood of traitors, and the majesty and potency of the govern ment and laws if not acknowledged by a will ing, admitted by a conquered and subdued peo ple. MAJOR ANDEasoa's vindication is satisfactory and complete, and his surrender of Fort Sum ter was the result of a necessity which no other course would have justified. His brother offi cers express the highest retipect for bis gallantry as a soldier and his loyalty as a man. In fact his whole command join in the testimony that his defence of the fort was ono of the bravest and most daring military exploits, under all the circumstances, In the history of the American army. In the midst of treason in the army, we rejoice to learn of this gallant action on the part of Major Anderson, because the reputation he had earned was too great to be recklessly sacrificed to fear or treachery. Hiaa traitor authority demand let, The surrender of all the Forts. 2d, The surrender of the right to collect the revenues. Bd.

TB& PROCLAMATION OF SHE PRIELDINT, con- vening an extra session of Congress in July next, has given rise to much speculation on the probable compliance of that body when again convened. On this subject, the Cincinnati Com merdal says, that of the twenty-seven States which have remained faithful to the Union, all but seven have already elected their Repre sentatives in the Thirty-seventh Congress.— Elections are pending in the following States, to be held regularly, at the dates indicated: Virginia, 4to Tuesday in May......... 13 members. North Carolina Ist Thursday in August 8 " Tennessee, Ist Thursday la August.... 10 " Kentucky, Ist Monday in August..... 10 " California, Tuesday after Ist Monday in September 2 Maryland, Ist Wednesday in November 2 Kansa3, date uncertain I " Two of the above are free States and five slave States. The remaining border slave States, Missouri and Delaware, (as also Arken ass,) have already elected their Congressmen. Of course, it becomes necessary for those of the above States who would be represented inCon gress, at the extra session in July, to hold an election at an earlier date than usual, Virginia being the only State yet to elect, whose.day of election ante-dates the assembling of Congress. This it is perfectly competent for them to do. It is customary for the Governor to call the Legislature together, who order a special elec tion for Representatives. This was done in 1849, when Gen. Taylor called an extra session of Congress as early as May, to consider the criti cal situation of the Union, and other important business. Whetherall these States can now be relied upon to "keep step to the music of the Union," under the altered attitude of the Government toward the secession usurpation, time alone can determine. The President's call for volunteer militia to put down unlawful combinations against the United States, will furnish a test which may almost be regarded as an "experimentum creels" of the loyalty or disloyalty of every State remaining in the Union. At all events, it cannot be doubted, that every State which responds to the call for volunteers will also elect representatives to the next Congress. It is not so certain that some States may not elect their Congressmen, while hesitating about furnishing soldiers to the Government. Some enquiries litss been made as to whether Congress can consettutionally or legally act, in the event of the failure or refu sal of the Border States whose elections come in the fall, to return representatives to the ses sion convening July 4th. There is no doubt that it can so act, and its enactments will be valid and binding. The Constitution of the United States provides that "a majority of each House shall constitute a quorum to do business." There have already been elected to the next House 155 members. Assuming that, in contemplation of the Constitution, the se ceded States are still in the Union, (which was the theory acted upon at the last session of Congress) the whole number of members of the National House of Representatives is 238. A majority of this number is 120—leaving 85 more than a quorum already chosen, and who may take their seats at any moment. In the Senate, again, there is no difficulty whatever, since the members of that body are all elected, except from the Seceded States. THE PENNSYLVANIA BoLomas now quartering around Harrisburg, anxiously waiting orders to leave for Washington, will read the following base slanders from the Baltimore Republican with amusement. They will also, no doubt, ex hibit their decency to that sentiment in Baltimore which prompted the publishing of such abuse : Tan PENNSYLVANIA Younitssits.—lt is said the miserable creatures which passed through our city yesterday, under the name of Penn sylvania volunteers, were the emptyings of the poor houses and jails of the State ; the Black Republican rulers there thus transferring the burden of their support from themselves to the Washington administration. The appearance of the ragged, filthy crew would justify the re• port. If this is the character of Old Abe's volunteers, it is no wonder Pennsylvania is so ready to part with them. They are not, how ever, such materials as the citizen soldiery of this State can ever fraternize with. If the submissionists like•snch company, in heaven's name lot them fall into line as soon as possible. Baltimore will be as happily re lieved of them as Pennsylvania is of her loaf ers, and let them march to Lincoln's support under the head of Hicks & Davis. Men of Pennsylvania, what do you think of this description ? Your fathers marched to the defence of Baltimore, when a foreign foe threat ened its safety, and succeeded in saving the city. You, the sons of the gallant dead, marching and preparing to march to the de fence of Washington city, when a traitor is planning its overthrow, are described as "pau pers and felons." Remember all these insults when the hour of battle arrives. A PATRIOTIC RECOMMENDATION —520,000 Yon THE SVPPOPT OT Till FAMILIES OP ova VOLIIN TBIERS.---It gives us inexpressible pleasure to state that this morning Col. W. B. Fordney, Geo. M. Kline, Esq., Major 0. J. Dickey and Col. Patterson, appeared before the Grand Jury and solicited them to recommend the County Commissioners to appropriate the sum of $16,- 000 or $20,000 to be placed at the disposal of the Executive Committee, for the relief of such of the families of the volunteers, as may need assistance during their absence. The recom mendation was promptly adopted, and the jury recommended that the sum of twenty thawed dollars be thus appropriated. The recommen dation was endorsed by the Court, and sustained by an eloquent speech from Col. Fordney. We clip the above from the Lancaster bk• press, and as our Court meets on Monday next, we hope thit the Grand Jury will at once take similar action and appropriate any sum neces sary for the maintenance of the families left behind. We have traitors nearer home than Char leston. They daily try the patience and insult the patriotism of the peott. A . The time has gone by - when true rain can quietly hear trea son eulogized or the Government libelled. There is now no middle ground to stand upon. Those who are not for the Union are against it, and the free air of the Empire State should not be tainted with the foul breath of treason. Cor. B. A. Duane'', aid . toGen.

About fifteen of the Massachusetts soldiers are in the hospital. They are doing well and in good spirit& The steamer Pawnee left last night. The government troops are aboard. There is no violent excitement among the people, but evidently a deep feeling of anxiety and painful suspense. There are whispering among the military that martial law will soon be declared. . The Steamer St. Nicholas plying between Washington and Baltimore was seized this morning by the Government, for prudential pur poses. There are about five thousand men under arms in Washington and vicinity. Additional measures have been taken to guard the entrance to the city. The President has issued a proclamation stat ing that, whereas, an insurrection against the United States has broken out in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and the laws of the United States for the collection of the rev enue cannot be effectually executed therein con formably that portion of the Constitution which requires the duties to be uniform throughout the United States ; and further that a combin ation of persons engaged in such insurrection have threatened to grant pretended letters of marque, to authorize the bearers thereof to commit assaults on the lives, vessels and pro perty of good citizens of the country, lawfully engaged in commerce on the high seas and in the waters of the United States, and whereas the President says an executive proclamation has been already issued, requiring the persons engaged in these disorderly proceedings to de sist therefrom, calling out a militia force for the purpose of repressing the same, and convening COngress in extraordinary session to deliberate and determine thereon. The President, with a view to the same purposes before mentioned, and to the protection of the public peace and the lives and property of the orderly citizens pursuing their lawful occupation, until Congress shall have assembled and deliberated on the said unlawful_ proceedings, or until the same shall have ceased, he has further deem ed it advisable to set do foot a blockade of the ports within the States aforesaid, in pur suance of the laws of the United States and law of nations in such cases provided. For this purpose a competent force will be posted so as to prevent the entrance or exit of veaselsfrom the ports aforesaid. If, therofore,with a view to violate such blockade, any vessel shall attempt to leave any of the said ports, she will be duly warned by the commander of one of said blockading vessels, who will endorse on her register the fact and date of such warning ; and if the same vessel shall again attempt to enter or leave the blockaded port, she will be cap, tarred and sent to the nearest convenient port for'such proceedings against her and her cargo 'as may be deemed advisable. Yesterday afternoon the Vcretary of War visited the Capitol Building in this city. He was received with great enthusiasm, and his ad dreises to the different companies produced an electrical effect. He called first upon the Ring old Light Artillerists, from Beading, Berks county, commanded by Captain Jas. H'linight. There he was received with great cordiality by officers and men, after which he was presented formally to the two companies from Pottsville, numbering each over one hundred, and the company from Allentown and that from Lewis town. He addressed them as follows ; Gistinsiasn : I have deemed it my duty to visit you, for the purpose of extending to you a hearty greeting to the National Capital. I am more than rejoiced that the first volunteers out side of this district should have come from my native State of dear old Pennsylvania. lam glad to see so many faces recalling old recol lections in your ranks : so many young and able-bodied men ; and so many belonging to the party which did not contribute to the elec tion of the present Administration. But, my friends, this is a question no longer of party but of country. The Administration has at tacked nobody, and yet I believe your most energetic efforts will shortly be required to de fend the flag of the country from being again assailed by those who attacked it at Fort Sum ter. "And now, gentlemen, I cannot, of course, discriminate in the treatment I shall extend to the regulars and volunteers called here for the defence of this beautiful metropolis, but I as sure you it will give me peculiar pleasure to pay every attention to the volunteers of Penn sylvania—and this not alone because they come from that State, but because they were the first who were fortunate enough to reach Wash ington to repel the enemies of the country." Strangers in Washington, to the number of about 160, assembled at Willard's Hall, (where the Peace Congress was held,) and enrolled themselves last evening, under the command of Cassius IC Clay, for the protection of the city. Gen. Nye, of New York, was appointed firstoLieutenant, and Col. Butterfield, Orderly Sergeant. The company remained on guard during the night, fully prepared for any emer gency. Among those enrolled were the Hon. Edward Mo'Pherson, Hon. Gilman Marston, and Hon. J. F. Potter, members of the present Crongres, =- Congressmen Woodruff, Percy and Millward, Hon. D. Taggart, Chas. Allright, Cornelius A. Walborn, Win. B. Thomas, E. Reed Myer, B. Rush Plumley, Gen. Geo. • Emmen, and J. Puletton, of Pennsylvania; Wm Grandson, of Rittore; Thurlow Weed, of New York; ands inamiter of other 'distinguished citizens. GenittOni,o9wart Wilmot wore Wee 011 hand, as was, too, Col. John W. Forney. Col. Forney, however, was called away to the Capi tol to receive the Pennsylvania Volunterts, with whom he remained until a late hour, con tributing to their comfort, and making such ar rangements for defence as were deemed pru dent and necessary. He placed at the disposal of the officers his own room and that of his chief clerk, which they cheerfully accepted. The Cabinet has been in session daily since Monday, and are united and harmonious in supporting the President. Mr. Lincoln is equal to the occasion, He dis plays much of the Jackson spirit in his quick decision and unwarriog firmness. Those who expect to find him unnerved will be disappoint ed. With the aid and co-operation of a united Cabinet, Mr. Lincoln has a plain duty before him, and that duty he is prepared to meet and discharge, without halt and hesitation. His capacity for the emergency will be recorded in indelible characters in the future history of our country. Nearly a thousand troops were stationed in and around the Capitol last night. The build ing was lit up as brilliantly as if both Houses were in session. Breastworks of wood were erected to close up the archways leading to the entrances; the gates of the parks were guarded; and no one was allowed to pass without a permit. VIRGINIA Reports continue to multiply, but many of them are too unreliable to be repeated. One thing is quite evident—the Secessionists have made no converts in Virginia, since the scenes in Charleston harbor were enacted. In this they are disappointed, for victory there was expect ed to give their cause such an impetus that they would be enabled to crowd the State out of the Union without further delay. They have been disappointed, and are manifesting their Lolly in tearing down signs, sinking old light-beats, running ip rebel flags, &c. This mad folly will have its day, but it will soon spend itself. Yesterday, the spectacle of two flags, the Seeession and the Union, floating from the Slate Capitol, was witnessed by the citizens of Richmond. Quite a stampede hex taken place among Se cessionist& The exodus is generally so quickly executed that sundry little "obligations" are left unattended to by those who are so quietly "leaving their country for their country's good." Those of the Secession type who re main are owners of their own "castles" here, and will defend them in case of an attempted invasion. Over" two thousand troops from Massachu setts and Rhode Island arrived by steamer at the Washington navy yard this morning. They are chiefly young men, hearty, bale looking fellows, who eviden.ly are animated with an intelligent appreciation of the duty to which they are called. In Richmond, Va., yesterday, a mob pulled down and destroyed the s;gn on the "United States Court House" because they wished to disgrace the name of their country. May they live to learn where the disgrace attached to this shameful act rests. I will send you by mail a portion of the sign battered down, indicating, as it does, the extremes to which man will per mit himself to be carried in disloyalty and in• gratitude. THE SECRETARY OF WAR. The troops offered to the Government were ordered to come to Washington by the energet ic Secretary of War without reference to uni forms or arms, and regardless of all obstacles. The Government is resolved to- arm all who come to offer their lives in its defence. The Government will not be balked in its ef forts to bring forces to defend the capital. They will, if mobs at Baltimore interrupt travel and transportation, send troops in ships to Annapo lis, and keep communication open at all has ads from there to Washington. Latest from Baltimore.
