Postage to California, Colorado, Nevada, Dako

All letters and transient newspapers are re
quired to be pre-paid by stamps before they can be
mailed.
WILL Bs FixEn.—The supervisor informs us that
the pond in Raspberry alley, at the end of the jail,
will be done away with this week.
But comparatively little business has been trans
acted in the city for some days, all parties being
engrossed in the war news, and seeking for infor
mation.
A LARGR TRAIN.—The train of ears which left
here yesterday morning, consisted of fifteen pas-
Banger "ears and two baggage cars. Lots of live
freight in that party.
RAFTENt.—The immensity of the river at the
present time enables the pilots of the Susque
hanna to take their lumber to market. Quite a
number of rafts have passed our eity within a few
days on their way eastward.
STATE CAPITAL GUARD.—This 'company, re
cently formed in our city, were out on parade yes
terday. They are, generally speaking, young men,
but appear to have the grit, and when the call is
made they will be found at their posts.
No Ems, Szsmom—Rumors were current all
day on Wednesday that the Governor would issue
hie proclamation yesterday calling an extra ses
sion. No such proclamition was issued, and the
inference is, that calling such session will be gov
erned by future events.
Tau LOCK-ITP.—Five volunteer lodgers were in
the lock-up on Wednesday night. They gave the
same old story that they were short of funds, were
in search of work, and willing to do anything.—
The whole party were furnished with lodging and
discharged in the morning-
A meeting of the State Capital Guard was held
on Wednesday evening, when the following officers
were duly elected : Captain, W. B. Sipes; First
Lieutenant, Henry Davis; Second Lieutenant, Jas.
Murray; Corporal, Robert S. Boyd; and William
Bush as tenor drummer for the company.
A SPECIAL POLICE.—In consequence of the ex
citement that has existed in town for the last few
days, the Mayor of the city has deemed it advisa
ble to inaugurate a extra police force. This was
done on Wednesday night, and although our town
was full of strangers, yet they remained docile and
no arrests were made.
Insomommv.—Bill Patterson was arrested on
Wednesday evening, and taken to the lock-up.—
Bill was charged with creating a disturbance in
the neighborhood of Noith street, by pelting the
residents thereof. It is now easily to be seen that
Nay& Kepner was the man who struck "Billy
Patterson."
DEPARTURE OF THE TROOPS.--On Thursday mor
ning, many of the volunteers who had enlisted in
the army, were sworn in by Captain Simmons, of
the United States army. Each man took the oath
to serve the country to the best of his ability. The
oath was administered with the uplifted hand,
after which the soldiers took the cars for Washing
ton.
THE Porn or Musw.—Yesterday Wood's Min
strels engaged a vehicle and proceeded through
the various streets of our city, and created consid
erable sensation. The war fever being at its
hightb, the sound of the band brought out the peo
ple, who were no doubt laboring under the impres
sion that they were drumming up recruits for the
I=
Mora Somasus.—Yesterday afternoon the Wy
oming Artillery, from Wilkesbarre, commanded by
Capt Entley, arrived in town and put up at Peter's
Hotel. The company is full and expect to leave
town this inornieg.
The Juniata Rifles alsci arrived here yesterday
afternoon. They number seventy-eight men, and
are commanded by Captain Alexander M. Lloyd.
The Rifles are from Hollidaysburg and a fine body
of men.
The Toner Rifles,numbering 97 men, arrived in
town yesterday morning. They were quartered at
the Franklin House.
[Communicated.]
To Ames, TO Anus !—Whereas, revolution exists,
and the glorious Stars and Stripes have been torn
down, and trampled in the dust, and a piratical
gag thrown to the breeze in its stead. And
whereas, many of our young men have offered their
services to, and been accepted by, the .Govern-
Neat, and are about leaving us for the seat of war;
therefore, in order that we may be secure in our
persons and property from enemies within and
enemies without, all able-bodied men (above 45)
are requested to meet at the Court House on Sat
urday evening, the 20th day of April inst., to cr
ganize a company for the purpose of guarding our
homes, and elsewhere, as the emergencies may re-
Ax OLD SOLDIER.
M!!
FINAL Araoritratrarr--Both Houses adjourned
finally yesterday, and by this time all, or nearly
all, of the members, as well as the necessary and
indispensable adjunct, the Third House, are either
at home or on their way thither. The closing
scenes were marked by an outburst of patriotism
never before witnessed upon any similar occasion.
At 15 minutes before 12 o'clock both parties met
in the hall of the House, when a number of gen
tlemen mounted upon the Speaker's stand and sang
the Star Spangled Banner, the entire body joining
in the chorus, which was rendered with most thril
ling effect. After the Senators returned to their
chamber, and when the Speaker's gavel was just
about ready to fall for the adjournment sine die,
a Mr. Smith was milled upon, and sang the Flag
of Our Union and the Star Spangled. Banner, the
entire audience joining again in the chorus. At
the conclusion, nine cheers were given for the
Union, and the Senate closed its labors in an out
burst of wild enthusiasm never excelled, if ever
equalled.
MILITARY MOVERRNTS.—For the last twenty-four
hours our city has worn the appearance of a gar
risoned town, and everything betokens stirring
events is the future. " Grim-visaged war" stares
us in the face—the tramp of armed men, the nod
ding plume, the tap of the drum at intervals, in
every direction, show that the people of Pennsyl
vania possess a martial spirit, stimulated by a pa
triotism that the ancient Roman republic, in her
palmiest days, might have felt proud of. Stalwart,
beardless boys, of eighteen summers, are side by
side with the gray-haired, marching with measured
tread. The fancy clerk, the Wide Awake, the
Democrat, and the dust-begrimed mechanic, who
has just left his anvil, are in the same platoon.—
Party lines are obliterated, social distinctions are
effaced, and one common sentiment rules the hour
—and that is, for the Union and the Constitution.
The Cameron Guards and the State Capital
Guards, Captain W. B. Sipes, were sworn in and
mustered into service yesterday. The former held
an election in the afternoon, which resulted as fol
lows :
Captain—J. M. Eyster.
13t Lieutenant—George W. Davis.
2d Lieutenant—J. W. Awl. •
2d 2d Lieutenant—Alex. Wilson.
It is likely that the Cameron Guards will leave
with the troops which depart for Washington to
day.
The following companies left for Washington
yesterday morning:
Ringgold Artillery, Reading, Captain James
M'Knight, 104 men.
National Light Infantry, Pottsville, Captain
M'Donald, 104 men.
Allen Infantry, Allentown, Captain Yeager, 64
men.
Logan Guards, Lewistown, Captain Selheimer,
100 men.
In addition to these there were regulars from
Carlisle and the West, making in all ten car loads.
A painful rumor was put in circulation about 1
o'clock that the troops were to be intercepted, but
dispatches received later in the day brought infor
mation that they went through unmolested.
The streets of our city are crowded with stran
gers from the adjacent counties, many of whom,
no doubt, come here to enlist. As nearly all the
companies that come here have their complement
of men, recruiting for a new company will be com
menced to-day.
The following companies arrived yesterday:
State Guards, of Allegheny city, Captain M'-
Donald, 88 men.
United States Zouaves, of Pittsburg, Captain
Jos. Seigcrist, 110 men.
Johnstown Infantry, Johnstown, Captain J. H.
Lansley, 70 men.
Zonave Cadets, of Johnstown, Captain J. M.
Power, 70 men.
Turner Riflemen, of Pittsburg, Captain John
Geiser, 110 men.
Wyoming Artillerists, Wilkesbarre, Captain A.
Emeley, 66 men.
Juniata Rifles, Altoona, Captain A. M. Lloyd,
80 men.
Last evening, before we went to press, six more
companies arrived—two from Mauch Chunk, two
from Pottsville, and two from Easton.
CURB ZOR DRIINICENNEK—There is a famous
prescription in England, says the Springfield Re
publican, for the cure of drunkenness, by which
thousands are said to have been assisted in reco
vering them Selves. The receipt came into notoriety
through the efforts of John Vine Hall. father of
Rev. Newman Hall, and Capt. Vine Hall, com
mander of the Great Eastern steamship. Tie bad
fallen into such habitual drunkenness that his most
earnest efforts to reclaim himself proved unavailing.
At length he sought the advice of an eminent phy
sician, who gave him a prescription which he fol
lowed faithfully for seven months, and at the end
of that time he had lost all desire for liquors, al
though he bad been for many years led captive by
a most debasing appetite. The receipt, which he
afterwards published, and by which so many other
drunkards have been assisted to reform, is as fol
lows : "Sulphate of iron, 5-grains; magnesia, 10
grains; peppermint water, 11 drachms; spirit of
nutmeg, 1 drachm; to be taken twice a day." This
preparation acts as a tonic and stimulant, and so
partially supplies the place of the accustomed li
quor, and prevents that absolute physicalind moral
prostration that follows a sudden breaking off from
the use of stimulating drinks. In cases where the
appetite for liquors is not too strong, the medicine
supplies the place of the accustomed drachms en
tirely, but Mr. Hall continued the use of liquors
at first with the medicine, diminishing the amount
gradually until he was able to throw away his bot
tle and glass altogether, after which he continued
to take the medicine a month or two, till he felt
that he was wholly restored to self-control, and
could rejoice in a sound mind and a sound body.
Tins SENATE.—The term of the following mem
berg of the Senate expires with the present ses
sion:
Mr. Thompson, of Montgomery ; Mr. Yardley, of
Bucks; Mr. Clymer, of Barks; Mr. Palmer, of
Schuylkill; Mr. Penney, of Allegheny ; Mr. Blood,
of Jefferson; Mr. Schindel, of Lehigh; Mr. Welsh,
of York; Mr. Gregg, of Centre; Mr. Pinney, of
Crawford; Mr- Parker, of Philadelphia. Demo
5, Republicans 6.
Mr. Clymer was elected to fill the vacancy occa
sioned by the death of Mr. Nunnemacher, and will
most unquestionably be re-elected, as he hss made
an excellent Senator, unless something should
happen that we know nothing of now. The dis
tricts of Parker, Thompson, Palmer and Yardley
will be regained certain, and there is good reason
to believe that Mr. Gregg's district will return a
Democrat—so that we are likely to have not less
than eleven Democrats in the Senate; and as for
the House, that will be very apt to speak for itself.
A MILITARY CITY.-Our city has now fully as
sumed all the aspect of being thoroughly committed
to the ends and purposes of a military sway.—
Wherever the eye is turned, soldiers,fully equipped
and wearing all the grave air of men, borne down
by stern rigor and powerful tests, are seen peram
bulatingthe streets and byways; business of all
kinds; seem to have been laid aside to give way to
the more potential mandates of military exaction.
The soldiers are arriving in every train, and our
street corners are depots of standing armies.

THE WAR NEWS !
PROCLAMATION OF JEFF. DAVIS.
OUR COMMERCE THREATENED.
PRIVATEERS TO BE FITTED OUT,
LETTERS OF 111.4RQUE AND REPRISAL
TO BE ISSUED
MONTGOIsIERY, April 17.—The following pro
clamation has just been issued by Jefferaon
Davis:
PROCLAMATION BY TILE PRESIDENT OF THE
CONFEDERATE STATES
Whereas, Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States, has, by proclamation, announced
his intention of invading the Confederacy with
an armed force, for the purpose of capturing
its fortresses, and thereby subvertin g its inde
pendence and subjecting the free people thereof
to the dominion of a foreign power.:
And whereas, It has become the duty of this
Government to repel a threatened invasion, and
dsfend the rights and liberties of the people
by all the means which the laws of nations and
the usages of civilized nations place at its
disposal;
Now, therefore,l, Jefferson Davis, President
of the Confederate States of America, do issue
this my proclamation, inviting all those who
may desire, by service in private armed vessels
on the high seas, to aid this Government in
resisting so wanton and wicked an aggression,
to make applications for commissions of letters
of marque and reprisal to be issued under the
seal of these Confederate States. And Ido
further notify all persons applying for letters
of marque to make a statement in writing,
giving the name and a suitable description of
the character, tonnage, and force of each
vessel, the name, place, and residence of each
of the owners concerned therein, and the in
tended number of the crew, and to sign such
statements, and deliver them to the Secretary
of State, (or the collector of a port of entry
of these Confederate States, to be by him
transmitted to the Secretary of State. )
And I do further notify all applicants afore
said, that before any commission or letter of
marque is issued to any vessel, the owner or
owners thereof and the commander, for the time
being, will be required to give bond to the Con
federate States, with at least two responsible
sureties, not interested in such vessel, in the
sum of five thousand dollars ; or if such vessel
be provided with more than a hundred and
fifty men, then in the penal sum of ten thou
sand dollars; with the condition that the own
ers, officers and crew who shall be employed on
board of such commissioned vessel, shall ob
serve- the laws .of these Confederate States, and
the instructions given them for the regulation
of their conduct, that shall satisfy all damages
done contrary to the tenor thereof by such ves
sel during her commission, and deliver up the
same when revoked by the President of the
Confederate States.
And I do further especially enjoin on all per
sons holding offices, civil or military, under the
authority of the Confederate States, that they
be vigilant and zealous in the discharge of the
duties incident thereto.
And I do inorcover solemnly exhoit the good
people of these Confederate States, as they love
their country, as they prize the blessings of a
free Government, as they feel the wrongs of
the past and those now threatened in an aggra
vated form, by those whose enmity is more
implacable because unprovoked, that they exert
themselves in preserving order, in promoting
concord, in maintaining the authority and the
efficiency of the laws, and in supporting and
invigorating all the measures which may be
adopted for the common defence, and by which,
under the blessing of Divine Providence. we
may hope for a speedy, just and honorable
peace..
In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand
and seal this the seventeenth day of April, in
the yeai of our Lord one thousand eight hun
dred and sixty-one.
(Signed,) JEFFERSON DAVIS,
Attest, ROBERT Tumults, Secretary of State.
PROCLAMATION OF GOVERNOR OLDEN
TRENTON, N. J., April 17.—The Governor
of New Jersey has issued the following procla
mation :
Wunitzas, The President of the United States
has requested me "to cause to be immediately
detached from the militia of this State four
regiments, consisting of seven hundred and
eighty men each, to serve as infantry or rifle
men, for a period of three months, unless sooner
discharged. The mustering officers will be in
structed to receive no man, under the rank of
commissioned officers, who is in years over
forty or under eighteen, or who is not in phy
sical strength and vigor."
In compliance with the requisition, orders
have been issued to the several Generals of the
Division to furnish each one regiment, and that
they fill the regiments severally required to be
furnished, as far as practicable, with volun
teers; the regiments to be completed by drafts
from the reserved militia.
It is, therefore, directed that all individuals
or organizations willing to respond to the call
must report themselves within twenty days
from the date hereof, to the Major Generals of
the respective divisions within the bounds of
which they reside. The captains of such com
panies as accept the invitation will, with the
offer of service, transmit a roll of their respec
tive companies.
(Signed,) CHARLES S. OLDEN.
The Governor has issued orders to the four
Major Generals of the State to raise in their
divisions seven hundred and eighty men each.
They are to accept volunteer service, if this
should not be sufficient then to draft from the
reserved militia.
ANTICIPATED COLLISSION AT FORT PICKENS.
WASHINGTON, April 16.—A collision is anti
cipated at any moment at Fort Pickens. The
Administration have no means of ascertaining
the movements of the vessels off the harbor or
the troops in that fort. If reinforcementshave
been landed, the present commander, Lieut.
Slemmer, has been superseded. The Adminis
tration is not entirely satisfied with that offi
cer's loyalty. They have no definite informa
tion on the subject, but they strongly suspect,
since he refused to obey the orders which were
sent him, to allow .supplies and men to he
lauded, that he is not the proper man to com
mand that important position.
No doubt is entertained at the War Depart
ment of the reinforcement of Fort Pickens.—
Orders have been sent to Lieut. Slemmer to
stop the erection of batteries by the besiegers.
The GOvernreent has no doubt that the report
that Fort Pickens has been reinforced is true.
It was the intention not only to put provisions
into the place, but men, additional powerful
guns and ammunition. When the rebels attack
Fort Pickens they will find it a very different
affair from the bloodless act so recently played
at Charleston. There is a report to-night that
an attack has been made upon that fort, but it
is not credited.
The Government is about notifying the For
eign Powers o f its intention to blockade the
Southern ports. The exportation of cotton will
not to obstructed. •
SEIZURE OF ARMS AND POWDER AT CINCIN
NATI.
CINCINNATI, April 17.—Chief of Police Dud
ley, this morning, seized thirty boxes of guns
on the steamer Ohio, No. 8. Twenty-three of
the boxes were marked "G. F. W., Little Rock,
Arkansas," and seven were marked " L. IL,
Memphis."
Five boxes of guns were also seized on board
the steamer Glendale, which bad been reshipped
from the steamer Fannie Mcßurnie, on Monday
last. These occurrences have occasioned much
excitement and attracted a great crowd to the
Finding. The guns were shipped at Parkers
burg. Va., and are supposed to have come from
Kartsr'e Ferry.
A heavy shipment of powder has also been
stopped. All the war steamers have been pro
hibited from taking provisions South. Two
steamers have been chartered by the city au
thorities to act as police boats, thoroughly
armed, and will stop and search all passing
boats.
Three companies of troops will leave here
to-night for the rendezvous at Columbus.
The Home Guard is rapidly filling up its
ranks.
The enlistment ai; the Newport barracks is
very active. Over five hundred men are now in
garrison.
- A large consignment of bacon for Charleston,
via Nashville, was taken off the steamer Glen
wood this morning.
The excitement in the city is on the increase.
The volunteer companies are all full, and
more men are offering than can be accepted.
UNION MEETING AT LANCASTER, PA
LANCASTER, April 17.—The meeting to sus
tain the Government, held here this afternoon,
was the largest and most unanimous ever held
in this city. The veteran Democrat, Dr. A.
Muhlenberg, presided. The meeting was elo
quently addressed by Hon. Thomas E. Frank
lin and Judge Champneys.
Resolutions were adopted, giving a cordial
response to the President's proclamation, pledg
ing all we have to the maintenance of the Con
stitution and the Union, and the defence of tl
National flag, approving of the action of the
Governor and the Legislature, and expressing
grateful acknowledgments to the gallant soldier
and true patriot, General Scott.
An Executive Committee was appointed to
collect money and provisions for our volunteers
and their families.
A flagstaff has been raised in the public
square, by order of the City Councils. It is
150 feet high. The stars and stipes were run
up amid a display of the wildest enthusiasm.
Speeches were made by Gen. Steinman, Dickey,
Shenk, and others.
The Fencibles and Jackson Rifles are ready
at an hour's notice.
Lancaster county is prepared to send a full
regiment if wanted. Money and prdvisions
are liberally tendered by our citizens. •
RHODE ISLAND
PROVIDENCE, April 17. —The Legislature has
appropriated half a million of dollars for mili
tary purposes. It gives each of the Rhode Island
volunteers twelve dollars per month in ad
vance.
The banks have offered $235,000 to the
State. Messrs. A. &W. s g ra g ue have offered
$lOO,OOO.
Volunteers are rapidly arriving from all parts
of the State, and the greatest enthusiasm pre
vails.
MOVEMENTS OF MILITARY IN NEW YORK
NEW YORK, April 1 7. —Volunteers are rapidly
coming forward in this city to support the go
vernment of the United States and suppress
insurrection. The Scott Life Guard met last
evening, volunteered its services to the Govern
ment, and decided to open recruiting offices to
day. The Zouave Guard held a drill, as did
various other volunteer associations. The right
wing of the Seventh regiment, and a battallion
of the Seventy-first, and others, held public
drills, which were largely attended. Colotiel
Vosburg volunteered to lead his regiment if it
desired to go South. An officer of the Seventh
regiment returned from Washington yesterday
with orders, which will be issued to the Seventh
during the next twenty-four hours. It is said
the Seventh will he sent to Fort McHenry.—
Meetings were held all over the city to organize

Government. Volunteers are offering in all
parts of the country.

taste, was conceived and carried out by ORMSBY, the
celebrated Bank-note Engraver of New York city. It
commences with exquisitely executed words of "Goa
FATHER." and then follow in succession the other parts
of the Prayer, every phrase of which is engraved in the.
most - elezant and tasteful manner. Near the bottom of
the picture is a superbly executed head of OUR SAVIOUR,
and encircling the upper part of the engraving are ten
angels, each bearing one of the TEN COMMANDMENTS.
The engraving has received the most unqualified praise
from the religious community, as there is nothing of a
sectarian character about it, having been recommended
by clergymen of all denominations. As an ornament it
is one of the most splebdid ever published in this country,
and is destined--to take the place of a poorer class of
engravings. The size of the plate is 20x28 inches, and
is unquestionably the cheapest engraving ever offered in
this country.
Who that loves Art—who that delights to study a fine
engraving—who that would possess a beautiful Picture
—who that would receive the impressions which such a
work is calculated to import, wou'd fail to secure a copy
when the price is only ONE DOLLAR, With the chance of
securing for that sum in addition a permanent home or
another valuable Gift?
As a work of art this valuable and beautiful engraving
is worth more than the dollar asked fot it, as will readiily
be acknowledged on an inspection of it; but the
subscribers intend to make a Gift Distribution to
purchasers of the engraving of valuable presents, as
follows
1 Rouse and Lot in York Borough;
2 Building Lots :
2 Buggies; Quinn & Palmer's make, warranted;
1 Rockaway;

50 Barrels of Flour, warranted ;

All kinds of Jewelry, embracing Cameos, Floren
tines, Mosaic, Gold Stone, &c.
A Gift worth from 50 cents to $500.00 with each En
graving sold.
When the Engravings are all sold, a meeting of the
purchasers will be called at Washington Hall, York, Pa.,
when the Gifts named above will be distributed in such
manner as the purchasers may determine—the purchasers
selecting a committee of disinterested persons to make
the awards in such manner as they may designate.

this Gift Enterprise has been received, and the number
of Engravings already sold, hope to be able to have the

THE LORD'S PRAYER.
We have carefully examined this Engraving, offered
for sale in this community by Messrs. Austin & Wehrly,
and do not hesitate to pronounce it one of the finest
works of American Art we have ever seen. The design
is beautiful, the style of execution is superior, and the
illustrations are excellent. Its appearance will at once
secure for it the admiration of a refined community, and
recommend it to the Christian public. It is highly or
namental, and is calculated to exert a refining influence
in a family, and an elevating and purifying effect upon
the morals and religion of society, and it should meet.
as' we understand it deserves, with a rapid and extensive'
sale.
