to be few hard biscuits and piece of salt
pork.
On our return to Hagerstown, we could de-
fine with accuracy the line of battle by the
fires burning where the soldiers were burying
the dead. From right to left, all along the
front, the battle field was lighted up, by these
fires kept up to enable the burial parties to
pursue their labors. Along the turnpike and
in the groves thousands of stragglers had
built their watch-6res. The scene was highly
picturesque if it had not been marred by so
many horrible features But beside the road,
as wepassed still lay the unburied dead, while
in the fields by the light of the fires we could
see lying the rows of dead rebels, or the busy
plying of shovels as the soldiers heaped the
dirt upon what was soon to be dust.
The houses and barns 10 the vicinity of the
battle field were converted into hospitals, and
were filled with wounded, mostly by the ser-
ously wounded, who could not bear removal.
The horrors of those extemporzed hospitals,
the maimed bodies, the amputated limbs, we
had no desire to see, and contented ourselves
with the accolnts of those who visited them.

q Proclamation.

WHEREAS, The threatened invasion OF PENN
| sylvana by the rebel army has been arrested
by the prompt and patriotic response OF loyal
men of the State, and the signal victory
achieved by Gen. McCIellan's army on the
Antietsm.
And aChereas, The alacrity with which the
people in every section of the Commonwealth
rushed to the rescue of their brethren on the
Cumberland Valley border, is worthy of the
highest measure of praise. Although not re.
quired by the terms Of the call to pass the
borders OF the State, our brave men, unused
to the rigors of war and untrained in military
movements, not only entered Maryland, hut
held HagerStown against en- advancing foe,
pressed forward to the Potomac, and resisted
the threatened movement of the rebels upon
Williamsport until troops in the United States
service arrived and relieved them. Their time
y and heroic action has saved the State from
the tread of an invading enemy, whose neces-
sites made even military strategy subordinate
to plunder. .-..
Now therefore, I, ANDREW G.. CURTIN, Gov
ernor of the Commonwealth do hereby order
that the troops called into the service of the
State by General Order No. SO, be discharged,
aud that they be sent to their homes as rapid.
40 Cdu Uc buTulSueU, ana IN
the name of our mighty State, and in hehalf
of our threatened people on the border, I tea.
der them the grateful ackno sledgments of o
rescued Commonwealth.
And | recommend, that, the companies here.
by discharged from active service, should take
prompt measures to preserve and perfect their
| organizations, and that new ones should be
formed in every county, SO that they may at
all times be ready to answer the call OF the
State should their services again be reqpired.
Arms will be issued to them as soon as thev
can make regular acquisitions in az cordanea
with law, and the companies lately in the ,ox
vice of the State, will be PREFER ed to o,hsrs
should the supply not be equal TO the demand

The intelligence flashed over the telegraph
IL wires, that the rebel horde under LEE and
JACKSON, were preparing to invade the State
of Pennsylvania, reached this county, on Fri
dsy, 10th inst. The appeal of the Governor
for aid startled and aroused every citizen. A
uubc meeting was at once called at this place,
and arrangements made for conveying the in
telgence to other sections of the County, in
yting volunteers to defend our State from in
yason. The proper committees were appointed,
and JAMES MACFAaLANE Esq, despatched to
Harrisburg, to learn the true condition of af-
fairs, and ascertain what was needed On
Sunday he returned, with an urgent request
from the Governor to forward all the men
ready, with their arms, ammunition and equip,
ments By Monday morning Company was

was as good a Union man as Mr. Cessna, and

to get iuto the Legislature this wlnter, and by
his course there, make State reputation, have
Bedford and Somerset divided, so as to make

known, and that be will still have to keep his
