nor of said Commonwealth. issue this procla-
nation to the freemen of Pennsylvania:
Washington is again believed to be in dan
ger. The President has made an earnest
appeal for all the men that can be furnished
to be sent forward without delay. Pennsyl-
vania now puts forth her strength, the horde
of hungry rebels may be swept down to the
lattitudes where they belong. If she falters,
tumult, disorder and rapine may be transfer
red to her own soil. Let every man so act
that he will not be ashamed to look at his
father, mother, his wife or sisters. In this
emergency it Gevolves upon me to call upon
all commanders of companies to report imme-
diately to the headquarters of the common
wealth at Harrisburg, that means may be
provided for their immediate transportation,
with the men under their command. The
three months volunteers whose discharge has
SO weakened the army, are urged by every
consideration of feeling. duty and patriotism,
to resume their arms at the call of their coun-
try, and aid the other men of Pennsylvania
in quelling the traitors.
Given under my hand and the great seal
ofthe State. at Harrisburg, this twenty first
day of August, A D., 1861, and of the Com
monwealth the eighty sixth year. By order
