A Proclamation.
li'heieas, circnmstanccs render it not im
probable that the President of the United
States may, withiu a short time, callonPenn
iylvania for Volunteer Militia for a brief term
f serv.'ce :
And Whereas, The example of the brave,
mfa noff in tho field from Pennsylvania,
heretofore on every battle field distinguished
for courage and efficiency,, but who", in tho
recent battle3 in Virginia, have gained an
' enviable distinction by their deeds of valor
and endurance, should stimulate their broth
ers at home to increased effort to sustain
their country's flag, and terminate tho rebel
lion :
Now, therefore, I, Andrew G. Curtin, Gov
ernor 6f the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
do .make this nfy Proclamation, earnestly re
questing the people of the Commonwealth,
willing to respond to such call of the
rrieidcnt, to form military organizations
without dehy, that they may not be found
unprepared to do so. And I do further re
quest that commanding officers of all military
organization?, which may be formed in com
pliance with this Proclamation, da forthwith
report the condition of their respective com
mands, that prompt measures may be taken
fir getting them into the service in case a
requisition should be made by the General
Government. . Such call, if made, will be for a
term of not less than one hundred days. The
froops will be clothed, armed, subsisted and
paid by the United States, and mustered into
the service thereof.
Given under my hand and the great seal of
be State at Harrisburg, this eighteenth day

fbtir, and of the Commonwealth the etghty

Secretary of the Commonwealth.
Cnlon County Convention.
Pursuant to the call of the chairman of
ihe County Committee, the Union Ccn
Tsntion of Cambria couuty met aU the
Town Hall, in Ebensburg, on Monday,
23 J inst. Col. T. L. Hey tr, of Johnstown,
WS3 called to the Chsir, ar.d Cyrua EUcr,
of Johnstown, and E. Roberts, of Ebens
burg, were chosen Secretaries.
The delegates, to tlie'number of sixty
one, presetted their credentials and were
admitted to seats in the Convention. A
representation was prcseut from every
district in the couuty excepting Cone
inaugh township and Loretto.
After the Convention had been fully
organized, the following resolution was
offered by Mr. Robert Cai:an; and unaui
njottsly adopted :
Resolved, That A. A. Darker, Esq., be nom
inated by acclamation as the choice of the
Union men of Cambria county for Congress,
und that lie is hereby authorized to appoint
hi own Confjrees.
On motion,' the Convention procesded
to the nomination of a candidate for As
peinbly, when lion. Evan Roberts, cf
Johustown, was unauitnously tendered the
nomination. "
- The Convention then proceeded to the
nomination of a candidate for Sheriff, and
Capt. F. M. Flanagan, of St, Aujustine,
was, on the first ballot, nominated. The
nomination was made unanimous.
' Abraham Good, of Taylor township,
was nominated for Commissioner by accla
mation. George Scttlcmoycr, of-Summcrhill tp.,
ras nominated for Poor House Director
by arelamclion. . . .. "
Thomas Holle'n, of YVliilc township,
was nominated for Auditor by acclama
tion. The nominations bring concluded, Robt.
trie's of resolutions, rjuch, on motion,
were unanimously adopted. They are as
follow3 :
Resolved, That recognizing the imperative
duties of the hour, we renew our obligations
to our Couutry, and are determined to ignore
all differences on minor questions, and stand
firmly, squarely, and uncompromisingly on'
the platform ofthe Union, thereby rendering
a firm support to our National Government
and Administration in crushing the unholy
attempts of open and secret traitors to destroy
the temple of our liberties.
Resolved, That in Abraham Lincoln we find
an honest man and a patriot one who has
been tried as by a trial of fire, and stands
unscathed. The offspring of the people, he
Is their fit representative. We unhesitatingly
endorse his efforts to sustain the sovereignty
of the Union, and as tha slaveholders' rebel
lion was forced upon his Administration by
tho (to use the mildest term) weakness of
his predecessor, it is but proper that it should
be crushed during the continuance of the
same. Therefore we instruct our delegate,
to the Baltimore National Convention to
support his nomination for re-election, first,
last, and all tha time.
Resolved, That until this unholy rebellion
is crushed, we solemnly pledge ourselves to
know no party, save that of the Union. There
can be no middle ground. All men are either
patriots or traitors ; those who arc not for the
Union are against it.
Resolved, That in the name of the Union
men of Cambria county, we extend to our
noble army our heartfelt thank3 and sympa
thies. Congratulating them on their recent
glorious achievements, we assure them that
we realize the debt of gratitude under which
they have placed their countrymen. While
we rejoice with the living, we mourn the
dead ; the memory of the latter ha3 become
the sacred trust of their country, never to be
forgotten. Even now the clouds of battle
are lowering around our country's flag, and
thousands of her brave sons are yielding up
their limbs and lives a willing sacrifice, that
we and our posterity forever may enjoy the
blessings of freedom.
Resolved, That the amendment to the State
Constitution, to be voted upon nest August,
giving our soldiers the right to vote, claims
our warmest support, and we pledge ourselves
to use our utmost efforts to secure its adoption.
Who can claim a greater right to exercise all
the functions of a freeman, than he who risk3
his life that freedom may live?
Resolved, That in unanimously presenting
the name of A. A. Barker as the choice of the
Union men ot Cambria county for Congress,
1 - ... . 1 A.
we do so with a hrui conviction oi tue just
claims of oar county to the nominee, and we
earnestly uige upon the nominating Confer

nomination of Mr. Barker.

Francis Flanagan, Abram Good, George Set
tlemoyer, and Thomas Ilollcn, the candidates
this day nominated for county offices, the firm
and united support of the Union men of
Cambria county.

Who First Urged a Draft. In the
history of the administration of President
Lincoln, by Mr. Henry J. llaymond, just
published in New York, we find a letter
which wi commend to the attention ofthe
adherents of General M'Clellari who have
so violently opposed drafting to fill the
armies. It was written to the President
of the United States about a month after
the battle of Bull Bun, and at a time
when citizens were .rushing to arms all
over the country, and when volunteers
were pouring into Washington from every
State. Here is the letter :
"Washington, August 26, 1861.
"Sir : I have just received the enclosed
dispatch in cipher. Col. Marcy knows
what he says, and is of the coolest judge
ment. I recommend that tho Secretary
of. War ascertain at. once by telegram bow
the enrollment proceeds in New York and
elsewhere, and that, if it is not proceeded
with great rapidity, drafts be made at once.
We must have men without delay.
"GEORGE B. M'CLELLAN,
"Major General U. S. A."
The following is the dispatch of Colonel
Marcy alluded tj :
New York, August 20, 1S61.
"I ro upon you to make .positive and
unconditional demand for an immediate
draft of the additional troops you require.
Men will not volunteer now, and drafting
is the onjy successful .plan. Tlo people
will applaud such a course, rely upon it..
1 will be in Washington to morrow.
"R. B. MARCY."
We do not find these dispatches in the
report of General M'Clellan. They were
doubtless omitted through, some inadver.
tence !
A Bogus Proclamation.
In the New York World ot 18th inst.,
was published what purported to be a
proclamation of the President of the
United States, ordering another draft.
Every sensible man who read the docu
ment must have seen at once that it was
a fabrication. But bow a' paper of such
importance could have been smuggled into
the columns of any well-conducted journal,
while bearing on its face such palpable
signs of being spurious, is a question
which will puzzle anybody to answer sat
isfactorily. The offense committed is a most grave
one, both against the Administration and
the people. Whoever invented the proc
lamation must have forged the signature
of Mr. Lincoln. That, under any circum
stances, would be atrocious in the extreme.
But the guiit of such an act is enhanced
immeasurably by the fact that the forgery
grossly misrepresents the intentions of
the Government in lime of war, and in
such a manner as seriously to injure its
cause in the estimation of foreign States.
The writer of the bogus paper cot only
exhibits the National Executive in the
attitude of deploring a disastrous defeat of
the Potomac Army in the recent conflicts,
but actually makes the President say that
our troops are exhausted, and that the
present campaign is closed. This is a
falsehood of surpassing iniquity, and should
be visited at once with the severest resent
ment of the National authorities.
'The. World makes it appear it was
imposed upon by some unconscionable
scoundrel, and that it published the proc
lamation in good faith. It offers a large
reward for the discovery of the perpetra
tor of the fraud. The Associated Press
also denies all knowledge of the forgery,
ar.d offers a reward. The editions of the
IVorld, as well as the editions of the Ar. Y.
Journal of Commerce, (which latter paper"
published the proclamation contempora
neously with the former,) containing the
forgery, were seized and suppressed, and,
under the belief that the editors of thoso
papers were parliceps criminis in the affair,
a guard was placed over the offices for a
few days.
This is the proclamation as published
in the World:
"FOCB DCXDBEDTHOrSAJi'D MORE TROOPS CALLED
FOU,
"Executive Mansion, May 17.
Fellow-citizens of the United States : In
all seasons of exigencies it becomes a
nation to carefully scrutinize its line of
conduct, humbly to approach the Throne
oi Grace, and meekly to implore forgive
ness, wisdom and guidance.
"For. reasons known ouly to Him, ithas
been decreed that this country should be
the scene of uuparalleled outrage, and this
nation the monumental sufferer of the
nineteenth century. With a heavy heart,
but an undiminished confidence in our
cause, I approach tKe performance of a
duty rendered imperative by my sense of
weakne3 before the Almighty, and of
justice' to the people.
"It is not necessary that I should tell
you that the firt Virginia campaign under
Lieutenant-General Grant, in whom I
have every condcnce, and whose, courage
and fidelity the people do well to honor, u
virtually closed. He has conducted his"
great enterprise with discreet ability. He
has inflicted great loss upon the enemy.
He has crippled thcirstrcugth and defeated
their plans.
"In view, however, of the situation in
Virginia, the disaster at Red Rivtr, the
delay at Charleston ; the general state of
the country, I, Abraham Lincoln, do here
by recommend that Thursday, the twenty
sixth day of May, A. D. 1864, be solemn,
ly set apart throughout these United
States as a day of fasting, humiliation, and
prayer.
"Deeming furthermore, that the present
condition of public affairs presents an
extraordinary occasion, and in view of
the pending expiration of the service of
("100,000) one hundred thousand of our
troops, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of
the United States, by virtuo of the power
vested in me by the Constitution and the
laws, have thought fit to call forth, and
hereby do call forth, the citizens of the
United States between the ages of (18)
eighteen and (45) forty-five years to the
aggregate numDer of (400,000) four hun
dred thousand, in order to suppress the
existing rebellious combinations, and to
cause the due execution of the laws.
"Aud furthermore, in case any State or
number of States shall fail to furnish by
the 15th day of June next, their assigned
quotas, it h hereby ordered that the same
be raised by an immediate and peremptory
draft.
"The details for this object will be com
municated to the State authorities through
the War Department. -
"I appeal to all loyal citizens to favor,
facilitate, and aid this effort to maintain
the honor, the integrity, and the existence
of our National Union, and the perpetuity
of popular government.
"In witness whereof I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal ot the United
States to bo affixed.'
"(Signed), ABRAIIAM LINCOLN.

term.
Section 10 provides that the city of

Section 12 makes Bedford, Somerset,

Division of the State.
A Furlough tor Tiiirty Days. It
will be gratifying to persons having friends
wounded Jn the recent battles of the Wil
derness to learu that arrangements- have
been made that those who are able to be so
treated are to receive a furlough of thirty
days, while the great part of those who
are fit to travel will be forwarded to the
hospitals of their respective States. Friends
having seen the" names of the wounded in
the daily papers have gone to Washing
ton for the purpose of Beeking them in
the hospitals, and have as yet met with
but little success. Until lists are prepared
from the particular hospital a triend or
relative is in, it is useless to go to that
city for information concerning him. As
soon as possible full lists of the wounded
willbe published with the hospital designa
ted. A large number have already gone
home on furlough. This arrangement
will work admirably, as "heretofore, no
matter what promises were made by their
friends, the man must remain in the hos
pital. Relatives of wounded soldiers have
pledged themselves to return the precious
charge at the expiration ofthe time, if it
was only for a few days ; but the military
law knew no necessity ior any such pro
cedure; and petitioning and promises
were unavailing The giving the wound-
ed soldier a furlough will do more to
wards restoring him to health in thirty
days at home than sixty days Would in
the hospital. Not that he does not receive
the same care, but when he is wounded,
where his home i3 there his heart is, and
when he longs for home all the care and
attention bestowed upon him in the hos
pital avail but little. Let our boys in tho
field know that if they do their share in
the contest on the field, and are disa
bled they can go home. It will do
more towards defeating the rebels than a
reinforcement of twenty thousand fresh
troops.
