OF THE
Governor of Delaware.
OFFICIAL



A desperate enemy has invaded the neigh
boring States of Maryland and Pennsylvania
The Philadelphia, Wilmington 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 it.
The defence of your soil lies in keeping
open this door Of communication, through
which reiniorcements can be forwarded. The
true military line Of this State is the bank
OF the Susquehanna. Tho most effective
way to prevent the spoliation of your house
is to keep the enemy outside of it.
In this emergency an appeal was made to
the loyal men Of Delaware. They have re-
sponded with readiness that challenges en-
comium, and a self sacrificing spirit that ex-
torts admiration. They have left tLom 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 their
families.
May God have them in his holy keeping

The Commanding General, in behalf of the
country, thanks the Army of the Potomac for
the glorious result of the recent operations. Our
enemy, superior in numbers and flushed with
the pride of successful Invasion, attempted to
overcome or destroy this army. Bafiled and de-
ieated, he has now withdrawn from the contest.
The privatons aud fatigues the army has en-
dured, and the heroic courage and gallantry it
displayed, will be matters Of history to be ever
remembered.
Our task is not yet accomplished, and the
Commanding General looks to the army for
greater efforts to drive from our soil every YES
tige of the presence Of the invader.
1t is right aud proper that We should, on suit
