The Vigilance Committee are desired . to giro the notice as much publicity as possible. titr - Gov. Curtin issued the following order Sept. 4th : • CommoNwEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,B3. In the name and by authority of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, An. drew G. Curtin, Governor of the said Commonwealth. Whereas, In the present position , of affairs it is expedient that mearures should be taken to 'arm and prepare our people for defense, now, therefore, I do earnestly recommend the immediate formation throughout the Commonwealth of volun teer companies and regiindnts, in con formity with the Militia Act of 1855. Arms will be distributed tothe organiza tions so to bo formed, agreeably to the provisions of that act. It is further recommended that, in or der to give due opportunities 'for drill and instruction all places of business be olused daily at three o'clock in the after noon, so that all persons therein may af ter that hour be at liberty to attend to their military duties. .The cheerful alacrity with which the men of Pennsylvania have hitherto given themselves to the service of the country has pressed heavily on her miltary re sources. I am reluctant to ask- her people to assume further burdens, but as their safety requires that they should do 13.), it is is their, behalf that I put . forth the recommendations herein contained and urge a prompt compliance with them. Given under my hand, and the great seal of the State, at Harrisburg, this 4th dey of September, in the- year_ of our Lord 1882,1 and of the Commonwealth the 87th. By the Governor. ELI SLIFER, Secretary' of State. ItarCouitr next week. LATEST NEWS. , CINCINNATI, Sept. 6, 1862.--;;Condttc tor Woodale made a reconnoisance yester day with an engine - on the Kentucky Central Railroad. He epceeded to . a point 10 miles northof Cyntliianai where he :discovered three men, ,who," upon be, ing -hailed, said they belongid to a Geor gia regiment. He afterward discovered their camp, but it was so much hidden by bushes that 'he could- not make out how many they numbered. I A dispatch from Falmouth, dated 1 I o'clock this morning, say that our scout's report the Rebels within four miles of that plebe with artillery. A dispatch from Pomery, Ohio, says that Spencer, Virginia, has surrendered to the Hebei forces under Jenkins, and that Col. Aatbbone's command were taken prisoner by him. On Widne;day. morning, Jenkins' forc es entered Ravenswood, Virginia, and on the same evening crossed the Ohio River at Buffington'a Island, and came down to Racine Ohio, where they killed one man, wounded two others, and stole 12 horses. They then recrossed the river at Wolf's Bar, and encamped for the night. The people were rising to resist fur ther attempts at invasion by the Rebels. A lateri report says that the Rebels are crossing at Racine, and are coming down on both sides . of the river. A dispatch from Point Pleasant to the Military Committee at , Gallipolis, says that the contending forces are in sight of each othei,' that the Rebels are but nine, hundred strong, and that's battle is bail minent. Governor Morton has ordered all the male citizens between the ages of 18 and 45, residing in the border counties, to or ganize themselves into military compa nies, to repel the invasion: MONDAY, 8, 1862.--About tho War in the South-west we have this : A Louis ville dispatch of Friday says, all is . quiet along the Ohio; Louisville is safelor the present ; a man from Shelbyville .'says, the Rebels left that place , that day and were marching toward Frankfort. There, is a story 'in Cincinnati that Stevenson, Ala., had heen attacked by Rebels, but they were repulsed ; Athens had been burned by, the Union troops ; 'Gen. Bragg was marching upon Nashville fretn -Chat tanooga. !There was a -Georgia l regiment at a point! ten miles north of Cyathiana. The smaW village of Spencer, in Western Virginia, the county seat of Roane Coun ty, about 25 miles east of the Ohio River, had surrendered to the Rebels, and Col.; Rathbone's Union command were taken. prisoners. On Wednesday evening the Rebels crossed the Ohio and came to Ra-: eine, where they killed one man, wounded two, and stole a lot of horses. immediately returning to the Virginia side of the riv er. Other reports have it that the Reb•l els were goinc , down both sides of the Ohio. All able bodied citizens are or dered otit to repel the invaders. All manner of wild rumors were afloat at Cincinnati; preparations for defense were such as to inspire confidence.— The rebels appear to be very strong in the KinawhalValley, and are trying to cut off- - our troops. The Rebels have burnt three bridges on the Louisville and Frankfort Railroad, about 60 miles east of the former place. There is a report that our small force at Salt River Bridae, near Sheppardsville, had been attacked by a large force of Rebel cavalry and ar tilery. — Col. Shackleford had a spirited fight with the Bebels at Morganfields, week ago,doing them considerable damage. The correspondence of the Associated Press, which is under the supervision of the Government, tells us that the Rebels have taken possession. of Frederick City, IMaryland ; that they have declared pro tection for private property, appointed a provost guard, and are buying provisions with United States Treasury Notes. The bridge over the Monocracy had been I !seized, the telegraph wires cut, and peo- I nle who differed in political sentiment I krom our Southern brethern were going Ito Pennsylvania. We have from a spa. cial correspondent the opinion, founded I upon statements of persons from the neighborhood, that the condition of affairs on the Potomac is safe, and he, (our cor respondent) discredits the rumors of Jack son's invasion of Maryland. He says the greatest confidence and cheer prevail in Washington, and that a day or tsso will demon rate that all goes on well: A NOBLE MontEit.—A correspondent of The Independent, dropping a note from Tiffin, Ohio, mentions the following in cident: "When • Captain Shriver of the 101st Ohio Volunteers was recruiting for his company in Tiffin, a widow from the country, with her three sons, called upon him and. said, 'Captain, I am informed my country needs volunteers : here are three of my boys; take them into your' company. I believe you are a good 111301, and I wish them to go with you. I have ,one more boy at home. I have kept him to take care of me in my old age and widowhood; yet if he is needed I will give him also.' As she spoke, a tear, trickling down her aged cheeks indicated, the strength of a mother's affection and a mother's sacrifice. None present were unmoved. ,Truly the days of moral hero ism have not passed away, and the Union that possesses such seltSacrificing moth-, ers "cannot but be 'enduring !" When the Devil rebelled, God didn't swear bin) in and ask him. to give bonds. --Laiisville Journal. No; bit. he gave him a pass beyond the lines to go South.--HasA. Union. . . • THE DETAILS Or THE PRATT.—lion. A:X. Velure has kindly volunteered to aid Gtoy. Curti* in the details and the preparations for the draft, a work at once fraught with great labor and importance. The organization of this force will require great _care and attention, and much de, pends upon the manner in which it is offteered and sent into the field, as to whether it will be of the service designed when the War Department made' the order for the draft. The material for au immense force will be found to exist in every locality of the State. Such locali ties are to be credited with the force already contributed, with the distinctive differenceohat 'the number enlisted in the regular, service cannot be estimated and credited as au offset to what may be required in the draft.: It is .only those who have. volunteered in , response to calls from the State, that will be credited in the draft. To attend to .such of the de tails of;the work' as tveuld have Tallen'on the Executive, Col. M'Clure has patriot ically volunteered, and we can safely an ticipate that he will discharge such du ties faithfully. The organization of the drafted force into eompanies and regiments , will be made as has been the other forces from this State, by Adj.-Gen. Russell. It is of I course to this department that such work belongs, apd' we need not write how well Gen. Ruseell will discharge his share of this most important duty.. NEW YORK vs PENNSYLVANIA.—We dc;* not complain of the disposition of New Yirk journalists to disparage Pennsylva l nia and the giant efforts of its people to contribute to the , overthrow 'of the rebel- Hob, because tlit disposition is the off spring of a low o jealousy, for which the people or the press of New York are not accountable. It is innate and therefore they cannot resist its influences. But NV C i . do complainof the settled purpose and premeditated plans of th.i New York press on all occasions and at the risk of manly candor, to disparage Pennsylvania--to pass her wighiy hosts in silence, and leave the world the inference that our pe6ple ate not 'doing their full share to wards the vindication and the preserva tioir of the National authority. All that We ask is a fair, statement of facts from a press that depends so largely for its sup port on the great masses of the Keystone State—and if the New York - press do not put faith in what Pennsylvania is doing, let! them apply; to the Secretary of War or I the President himself, and the intone- atien will be forthcoming. In the mean-, time we repeat,our declaration that Penn sylania has pia more men into the field under the last call, than New York and all the eaStern. States combined ! Among tha released prisoners, says the Harrisburg Telegraph, who have lately arrived in this city, we had the pleasure of meeting Lieut. J. B. Hutchinson and Sergt. Mathew Hyte. These soldiers belonged ,to a Centre county Infantry company commanded by Capi. Hess, and were taken prisoners on the 2d of July,, 1862, at Falling Waters, where they were betrayed into the hands of the enemy, and almost the , entire company captured., The officers were conveyed to Richmond, and afterwards sent to New Orleans, and then again removed from that city to one of the many rebel rendezvous of loyal prisoners;from which they were released by the late order for the exchange of prisoners. Lieut. Huchins'on tells a sad story of rebel brutality towards loyal pris oners, and is ianxious to return to the service that he may repay some of those who dealt so inhumanly with him during his• imprisonment. The editor of the Saratoga Republican tells the following story at his own ex pense : "Yesterday, wishing, like others, to evince our patriotism ; weinformed the six compositors in our office, tEat if they would enlist, we would pay' them half wages while they were gone to the war. They replied—ghat is more than we have ever had before,' and the whole crowd have enlisted! . 'That's what's the mat. ter.' " Hon. Owen Lovejoy lately addressed 20,000 people in.McLean county, Illinois. He was for arming the Degrees, and the ithmense crowd shouted their approbation. He said that Mr. Lincdu 'did not drive the team as he would,•but pert ps it was better driven. During Mr. Lovejoy's speech, a: man in the crowd•avowed him self a secessionist, and swore be could whip . aoy d—d abolitionist on the groucti. He had a trial, and got licked, and was then made to' take the oath of allegiance. A Nova" Scotian, who has resided in the United States for many years, recently sent word toy his relatives in Nova Scotia that he intended to claim British protec tion and return home in order to avoid the draft. His father replied to the lowing effect: - ."Tell my son that his father has been a Colonel in the British army for foity years, and if he will not stand by his adopted country's flag, will go myself." One of the soldiers of a Maine regi, meat, who was. in 'the battle of- Baton Rouge, boasted l after the fight that be had the pleasure of leveling his musket at the man who bad been his favorite can didate for the Presidency. He was too far off, .the soldier added, to appreciate the full force of the compliment. • The BritiSh ship .
