ANDREW G. CURTIN.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHERNAS, An armed rebellion exists in a
portion -of the States of this Union, threaten
ing the destruction of the Nationa Govern
ment, periling public and private property,
endangering the peace and security of this
Commonwealth, and inviting systematic piracy
upon our commerce:
And whereas, 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 defence
of the State and the General Government:
And whereas, An occasion so extraordinary
requires a prompt exercise of the Legislative
power of the State; therefore
ANDIIEW G. Cinrrnt, Governor of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania, by virtue of the
powers vested in me by the Constitution, do
hereby convene 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 Harrisburg, on TUESDAY, THE THIRTI
ETH DAY OF APRIL, A. D. one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-one, at twelve o'clock noon
of that day, then and there to take into con
sideration and adopt such measures in the pre
mises 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 Com
monwealth to be affixed at Harrisburg, this
twentieth 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 of the Commonwealth.
To the Public.
Having purchased from William B. Sipes,
Esq., the late editor and proprietor of the State
Sentinel, the material of that establishment, the
State Sentinel has ceased to exist. .Any person
Whose name is not already on ourlist as a sub
scriber, and who has been taking the Sentinel,
can have their name transferred to our list as a
subscriber to the PATRIOT AND UNION, by noti
fying us of their desire. The terms of our pur
chase from Mr_ Sipes do not in any way bind
us to carry out any contracts he may have en
tered into as editor and proprietor of the State
Sentinel.
The Proclamation of Gov. Curtin.
In this morning's paper will be found the
Proclamation of Gov. Curtin, calling an extra
session of the Legislature, which is to meet on
Tuesday, the 30th inst. It is but proper to ob
serve that, in view of the present state of the
country, we think the Governor has done right
in thus calling together the Legislature in ex
traordinary session.
It was our opinion, when the Legislature ad
journed on the 18th instant, that it would have
been better if they had remained in session a
week or two longer, and thus saved the expense
of recalling the members. Nothing but a sense
of imperious necessity could for a moment in
duce us to consent to the recall of the Legisla
ture, but as we believe such a necessity does
exist, we think the Governor is fully justified
in this instance.
The Border States and the Federal Cap-
EMI
The people of Virginia determined by a large
majority that, in the event of the Convention's
passing an ordinance of secession, it should
not go into effect until ratified by a popular
vote. The issue was distinctly made at the
time when delegates were elected to the Con
vention. Maryland has never taken any action
with reference to secession, the Governor hav
ing hitherto refused to call an extra session of
the Legislature to consider the question of
calling a State Convention. North Carolina
elected delegates to a Convention, but at the
same time determined by a small majority that
the Convention should not assemble. The
great majority of the delegates elected were
Union men, chosen on the distinct issue of
Union or disunion. Missouri, Kentucky and
Tennessee have occupied the same position as
Maryland. In neither of these States have any
serious or authorized movements been made
towards• secession. They all contain large
numbers of individual secessionists, but as
States they have up to this time not attempted
to emancipate themselves from the authority
and obligations of the GOvernutent of the Uni
ted States.
Every one of these States, however, have
refused to obey the requisition of the President
for their quota of the 75,000 militia summon e d
for the defence of the Government and the en
forcement of the laws. The Executives of
these States have answered promptly, decidedly,
defiantly, that they will not furnish troops.—
They have gone a step further than this in de
claring that they will resist any movement of
the Government to march soldiers through
their territory for the "coercion" or "subju
gation" of the Southern Confederacy; and
they have given no pledge or assurance that
the Southern Government shall not recruit
Soldiers from their midst, or pass over their
territory with the object of attacking the Capi
tal at Washington. We shall, perhaps, know
in a few days exactly the course these States
intend to pursue, end what they mean by pre
0. BARRETT,
TEC& C. MACDOWELL
serving an attitude of neutrality in this strug,
gle, and whether they intend to abet and en
courage the forcible seizure of the Capital of
the Nation, while demanding that the Govern
ment shall not use force against them or the
Southern Confederacy.
Meanwhile, the Governor of Maryland
as
sures the people in his proela ion, that no
troops will be sent from that e, unless it
may be for the defence of the National Capital.
The Baltimore American, the exponent of the
best Union sentiment in the State, uses the fol
lowing language:
The safety of Maryland may be considered
et the present National crisis, as in strict har
mony with b er highest-honor in a determination
to occupy the position of a neutral in the threat
ened contest; because it may be laid down as
an axiom that no laurels are to be coveted which
come to the wearer stained with a brother's blood.
And if the path of honor is, in addition to
this, the path Of safety, who shall blame us for
desiring to put as far from our ownhearthstones
as possible that fearful and revolting strife
which the whole civilized world—far away—
regards as calamitous in every light in which it
can be 'viewed ? We repeat, it is consistent
with the highest dictates of honor to avoid so
dreadful a contest.
Of the Constitutional right of the General Gov
ernment to protect the Capital and the public
property, there can be no question, and let no
false notions of honor, or of State pride, cause
Maryland needlessly to provoke a contest with
those who in protecting the National Metropo
lis, protect her soil, possibly, from the pollution
of the blood of brethren. Adhering to • this
line of policy, her honor is consistent with her
safety, forgetful or heedless of this, she can
not control results, although she might use
lessly compass her own ruin.
The Missouri Republican, the great conserva
tive organ at St. Louis. is much excited at the
President's proclamation, With reference to
the Border States it says:
Not one of these States, whether in or out of the
Union, will ever permit an army mustered in the
free States to pass over their territory with the de
sign of invading either of the States now in rebel
lion against the Federal Government. If Governor
Curtin, of Pennsylvania, wishes to test it, let
him put himself at the head of his troops, and
attempt a march through Virginia; and so,
Mr. Lincoln may as well understand at once,
it will be with all the hordes he may send into
the field for this purpose. Their track will be
marked with blood, shed by the people of the
slave States in defence of their own territory,
and of what they conceive to be the rights of
the South, and in anticipation that the same
fate is intended for them should this war be
successfuL
The Border States have no reason to appre
hend thatit is the purpose of the Administration
to pass through:their territory with the design
of invading either of the States now in rebellion
against the Federal Government. But when
the Capital is menaced, the Government must
provide for its defence, and this cannot be done
without marching troops across Southern ter
ritory.
William B. Sipes,.Esq.
Captain Sipes has gone to the war, and quit
the life of an editor. The gallant captain has
signified this fact in an article in the last num
ber of the State Sentinel in a style as sententious
as a dispatch of the elder Napoleon, of whom
were only outrivalled by the sententiousness of
his dispatches." The public are thus informed
itwas said, "That the splendors of his victories
by Captain Sipes, that his connection with that
paper has ceased with the last number pub
lished on Saturday, the 20th inst. In another
column will be found a notice by the Editors
and proprietors of this Journal, That they have
purchased the material of the late State Sentinel,
and that that paper has been discontinued. In
parting with Captain Sipes, as an editor, we
feel that the corps editorial has lost, for the
time being, one of its brightest ornaments, a
gentleman of courteous manners and fine abil
ity. But we part with the Captain with much
less regret, than we might feel under other
circumstances, when we know that he has ex
changed the pen for the sword, which he will
doubtless wield, on all fitting occasions, in
such manner as to reflect credit alike upon his
country and himself. The Captain has our best
wishes in his new sphere.
CEIMINAL STATISTICS OE NEW YonK.—The
Secretary of State has reported to the Legisla
ture the criminal statistics of the State of New
York for the year 1860. The report gives a
list of all the criminal convictions in the courts
of record and of Special Sessions in the several
counties of the State during the year. A com
parison of the report shows that while convic
tions for the higher crimes have decreased,
convictions for petty offences in courts of spe
cial sessions have been from ten to fifteen per
cent. more than in any former year. This is
owing in a measure to the conviction of the
same individuals several times in the course of
the year for intoxication, vagrancy, b. The
returns by the sheriffs and clerks were more
promptly made and are fuller than usual. The
Secretary recommends an amendment of the
law of 1859, making it conform to the rules
and practice of our criminal courts of the pre
sent day, and more clearly define the duties of
officers connected with the courts.
The whole number of convictions in courts
of record, Oyer and Terminer and GI eneral Ses
sions in 1860 was 2,172. Of these, New York
county had 477; Kings, 336; Erie, 128; Albany,
83; and the other counties from 4 to 50 each.
The number of convictions for murder were 12;
manslaughter, 44; assault with attempt to kill,
48; arson, 16; forgery, 141; the remainder were
for larcenies, burglaries, etc. The convictions
for petty offences in the courts of Special Ses
sions amounted to 37,967, of which no less than
22,073 were for drunkenness.
During the year the Governor restored 52
persons to citizenship, and liberated 76 pris
oner from State prisons, jails and penitentia-

A PRIZE FIGHT ON STATEN ISLAND BROKEN
llr Wholesale Capture of Prisoners.—lnforma
tion was sent to Superintendent Kennedy, that
a prize fight would take place at an early hour
on Thursday morning, near New Brighton, on
Staten Island. Thereupon some thirty of the
harbor police were embarked one steamer, who
reached the Island about one hour after mid
night. A number of the officers in citizen's
dress were sent out to discover the field of bat
tle, and soon "struck the lead." They mingled
with the "roughs," the rest of the police keep
ing out of sight. At daybreak the prepara
tions were made for the combat, the principals,
bath of Irish birth, stepped into the ring, with
there bottle-holders, referee, &c., all ready for
the combat, some six hundred spectators being
present.; when,
at a given signal the police
marched forth from an adjoining wood and
m ade towards the ring. For a moment every
one was seemin g ly petrified with astonishment,
but in a trice each took to his heels, the prin
pals,- referee and buffers making good their
escape. Twenty-two were taken captives, and
though they fought sto ut l y with pistols, yet
P
nobody was hurt. The Prisoners were taken
before the magistrates, who committed those
actually engaged in the brutal display to jail,
while the balance were fined $lO and costs.—
Quite an assortment of c'othing, blankets, ropes,
&c., were left on the field, which became the
*oil of the victors.

The Position of Maryland and Virginia.
BALTIMORE, April 20.
Well-advised parties here express the con
vinctiou that Maryland and Virginia have both
been boldly committed to Secession from the .ba.
ginning, and that their apparent hesitation has
only been worn as a mask, to throw the North
off its guard. The events of the last twenty
four hours strongly confirm this, and if the re
port be true that Southern forces are now
marching upon Washington, nothing can save
that city from surprise and capture, but the
instantaneous concentration there of all the availa
ble men and arms within reach. At present
their forces are but few. Reinforcements must
fight their way through Maryland if necessary,
and that quickly, or the Federal Capital will
be lost. Every hour is important.
The Douglas Democrats of this District, in
Convention yesterday, nominated W. G. Brown,

sion, and will undoubtedly be elected.

DIED.
On Thursday morning, April 18th, at her residence in
this city, Mrs if ur.r.tssa FISEL'ER. (daughter of the late
General John A. Hanna,) in the 71st year of her age.
The deceased needs no eulogy. her worth is.so'uni
versally known and acknowledged among us, that every
heart yields its tribute to her memory, without the re•
mindings of an obituary. Yet its omission would be re
garded by all as a strange default to put on record some
memorial testifying to the confidence, affection and ad.
miration which she enjoyed over a long life, in a large
circle of acquaintances, friends and relatives.
Many, who outlive their eotemporaries, sever but few
chords of attachment when they die. But it was not so
With Mrs. Fisher, keeping up wonderfully her attach
ment to those who were much her juniors, they hardly
realized that she was among our most aged women.
Her frankness, sincerity, uprightness, friendliness
kindness—prominently also her eminent good sense—
and chiefly her earnest enlightened piety—all leave a
fragrance of memory that will not die out for a genera
tion.
Of all our Christian women we know scarcely any one
on whom might be bestowed with such fitness the Apos
tle's address—" elect lady. ;' Her life was illumined by
the light of a warm, consistent prayerful piety, extend,
ins through half a century of connection with the Pres
byterian church in this city. Even in such ripe old age
we had not expected her to die, for she had grown old so
gracefully, and had seemingly so much vigor; and her
life of prayer seemed yet to be such a necessity to us,
that our hope of continued life still struggled against
the strong premonitions of death ; until the spoiler, in
a sudden hour of mastery, closed his triumphs over our
hopes and wishes and prayers.
66 Thou art gone to the grave; but we will not deplore
thee,
Though sorrows and darkness encompass the tomb,
The Saviour has passed through its portals before thee;
And the I.mp of his love was thy guide through the
grave."

SPECIAL NOTICES.
PURIFY YOUR BLOOD.—BRANDRETH'S.
PILLS WARRANTED TO CURE FEVRR AND AGUE.—The
effect of purging with BRANDRETH'S PILLS is to re
store the health, no matter from what cause it may be
suffering. They take out all impurities from the sys
tem; and they have the same power of expulsion over
miasm, poisonous vapor of decayed vegetables, or indeed
any poisonous exhalations breathed by man whatever.
In fact, if the blood is poisoned, it is impure, and im
pure blood results in disease.
BRANDRETH'S PILLS,
though innocent as bread, yet they are capable of puri
fying the blood and curing disease. So, they cure all
kinds of fevers, all asthmas, catarrhs, costiveness and
painful affections of every kind.
Sold, price 25 cent; at N 0.294 Canal get, New York,
