PROCLAMATION
OF THE
Governor of Delaware.


A desperate enemy has invaded the neigh
boring States of Maryland aud Pennsylvania.
The Philadelphia, Wilmington 4 Baltimore
Railroad, the main reliance of the Govern
ment for the transportation from the north,
Of men and munitions of war, is menaced,
not only by open foes, but their marauding
coniederates, who, under cover of darkness,
threaten to destroy ii.
The defence of your soil lies in keeping
open this door of communication, through
which renIorcements can be forwarded. The
true military line of this State is the bank
Of the Susquehanna. The most effective
wuy to prevent the spoliaiion of your house
is to, keep the enemy outside of il.
In this emergency an appeal was made to
the loyal men of Delaware, They have re-
sponded with readiness that challenges en-
comium, and self sacrificing spirit that ex-
torts admiration. They have left their work
shops, their stores and their fields. The
plough stands in the furrow, and the reaper
in the grain already white for the harvest.
They have abandoned their homes and com
mitted their wives and children to your pro-
lection.
appeal to you, citizens of Delaware, not
to permit their devotion to be unacknow-
lodged or their sacrifices unrewarded. Save
their crops, till their fields, succor theil
lamilies
May God have them in his holy keeping

GEN. rEIMBIE A PRISONER.


1t is now placed beyond the possibility of
a doubt that Isaac r. Trimble, the rebel
General, is n prisoner. He is confined in
house near Gettysburg, having lost one foot
in the late battles. The committee that
went from this city, for the purpose of look
ing after the wounded belonging to the
Delaware regiments visited him in his pri-
son, and there is nc longer any question
about the authenticity of the statement in
relation to his having been taken. eW
hope the General Government will not treat
him as an ordinary prisoner of war There
is certainly no mau in the rebel service who
more justly deserves hanging than this
same Isaac r. Trimbe. He should be
handed over to the civil authorities Of
Maryland for trial on the charge of murder
and incendiarism He is the villain who
led the mob in the streets of the city OF
Baltimore, April 18th, 1851, that attacked
Massachusetts, regiment and also Col.
Smalls regiment, as they were on their way
to defend the nations capital from falling
| into the hands of rebels and traitors. That
mob shot down the Massachusetts soldiers
and had it not been that Col. Smals force
escaped almost by a miracle, they would
probably all have been killed The latter
regiment was unarmed yet coward-ike the
mean demons of secession under Trimble'i
direction made onslaught on it with pistols
aud guns, and brutally maltreated the men
A being who would be guilty of so foul al
act deserves no pity at the hands of tn,
government, aud should be Immediately ex.
ecuted. But this was not his only crime
Rallying his blear.eyod and besotted fol
lowers, he repaired to the depot, seized tn
cars aud passing over the Railroad to Gun
powder Bridge, he applied lighted torcl
to that structure aud it was consumed il
the flames. This interrupted the travel be
tween the city of Washington and the loya
north, ut a time when hostile foe was I'D
vancng to its destruction. This last ac
was not prompted by desire to serve tn
cause Of the rebels, but to satisfy the male
violence of his own base heart. The schem
was premeditated, and renders him crimi
nal liable 10 be incarcerated in the PEN
Tertiary of Maryland at least, and perhap
hung. We hope the loyal Governor Of tina
State, will urge the President to hand hi
over to the civil authorities for trial as
felon, and not treat him as a prisoner {
war. Every principle Of justice and rigl
demands this course at the hands of til
\ National authorities, and au acquiescenC
' on their part would meet with the appr
baton and applause of every loyal man
the country. Having some time ago ei
capped the penitentiary as a Railroad robbie

and asserted by the military authorities All
peaceful citizens are required to remain quietly
ut their homes and in pursuit of their ordinary
avocaiious, except MS they may be possibly sub
ject to call for personal service, or other neces-
sary acquisitions for iltary purposes or uses,
hereafter.
All seditious language or mischevous practl
ces, tending to the encouragement of rebellion
are especially prohibited, aud will be promptly
made the subject of observation and treatment.

has been formed, under command of Col.

A very important arrest of traitors has
Just been made in Philadelphia. John

They also intended to destroy the Cape
Henlopen Light house before going to
to sea.
As will be seen this morning says the
U. S. Gazette of yesterday, we have
large number of dispatches in reference TO
the movements Of the two armies near
Williamsport, Md. Most of these dis
patches are mere speculatons on the pro-
bable results of the coming battle. All
the reports, however, seem to agree on
one point, that Lee has been unable or
unwilling to cross the Potomac, and that
he is moving his army to the westward,
some say as far as Hancock. The only
engagement seems to have been on Fri
day, lasting from daylight till P. NJ,
when we succeeded in throwing Long
streets division into confusion, and drove
them back several miles If fight OF
such magnitude as this really occurred Oh
Friday, it is strange that nothing should
have been known of it here before Sun
day morning.
Lee appears, from the late Hagerstown
dispatches, to be concentrating his army
around Williamsport. Our forces occu-
pied the former place on Sunday morn
ing. The position now held by Lee is
said to be Of great strength These dis
patches make no mention of the battl,
said to have been fought on Friday.

A GREAT DISCOURSE.

On last Sunday morning the congregation
of the Central Presbyterian Church were
electrified with one of the most powerful
sermons on the late victories of the Union
army that has ever been delivered in
Christian pulpit.
Rev. Mr. WIswELL never did better in the
whole course of his ministry in this church
than upon this occasion. Always loyal, al
ways patriotic, always Internationally for
the dear land of his nativity he far excelled
all former efforts in the delivery of this his
masterpiece of patriotism and Christian
devotion TO the glorious cause of Liberty
and Union. Animated by the true spirit Of
Christianity and love of Country, he stirred
up the hearts of his hearers from their very
depths, and seemed to infuse q new inspra.
tion into the soul of every true friend oil
law, religion, and government who heard
him, The patriot felt his heart swell
within him as he listened to the eloquent
sentences gushing like SO many streams oil
liquid fire from the speakers lips, and-sarC
u few rebel ignoramuses in petticoats, ant
one or two little fellows in pantaloons =
one grand. responsive AMEN rose up nvolun
tarily in silent awe to the God of victory
from the entire audience present, at the sen
timents and truths then being uttered Il
was great discourse. We shall not attemp
to give even synopsis Of it; our reader
must be content to wait until we can plac,
it entire in type for pamphlet distnb button
which will be in very few days, when al
can have an opportunity to read it,

GENUINE AND CROCODILE TEAR

During the delivery Of Rev. MIR. Wiswells
discourse for the Union, he took occasion to
allude, in touching terms, to the sick and
wounded and dead of the late battles. His
remarks brought tears into many eyes and
evoked the tenderest sympathies of his hear
ers. Among them, however, we're several
persons Of known rebel feelings and pro-
clivities While we accord all honor and
respect 10 those humane persons whose pity
and tenderness of heart found expression in
honest tears BETTING patriotism and
Christian philanthropy, we cordially dcs
pise the miserable creatures who, aping re-
fnement and gentlity would thus drop their
crocodile tears in church, while the remain.
der OF the week is spent by them in abusing,
scapdalizing and donouncing the loyal and
patriotic people who are striving by every
honorable effort to alleviate the suffering.
and cruelties Of this abominabe war brought
about by traitors, and encouraged by just
such puny souls as these rebel sympathisers
who albeit they may cry in church, are re-
sponsibe for much Of the misery and desc
latou which now abound in the land.
