NoTE.-Thc Paid, or threatened Invas-
ion, is over. The Rsbs were no nearer
Harrisburg, than Scotland, four miles
East bf Chambersburg. Gov. Curtin and
Hesscn Bergner, were more scarced than
hurt, a, the first sent his family out of
town ard the last like most of the
cowardly Loyal Leagers, ran away when
they are threasened with danger.
The truth is, the meeting of the Demo
cratic State Convention-,he only loyal
party in the Union-at Harrisburg, drove
back the tide of invasion, and by the nom
ination of Judge Woodward for Governor,
restored confidence, preparatory 10 saving
tho Union.
Our brave men who marched again to
Harrisburg, to resist the invasion of the
Capital, have mainly returned, not relish
ing the idea Of six months enlistment in
the general Army. Ed. Democrat.

Another Rebel Raid into Penn
syIvania.
The President calls for 100, 900 sic
Months Militia.
TURN OUT TO REPEL INVASION,
GOV. SEYMOUR SENDING N. Y. MILITIA.

We give in another column what is
known up to the time Of going to press, of
the rebel raid into Pennsylvania. The
President and Governor Curtin have made
calls for State Militia Tor six months and
for thirty days, or so long as the danger
seems imminent, to move at once to Har-
risburg, and wherever needed to drive
back The ruthless invaders.
We hope and trust there may be a
prompt response to the call, and as W.
hear nothing Of Hooker and his army
that the State will show that she can take
care of herself. There should not only b
no hesitation, there should be alacrity il
answering this thirty day call, for will
proper military stratagem it might be th'
destruction Of that portion of Lees army
this side of the Potomac.
1t is one of the first, if not the very
first duty Of the citizen to defend the homo
and integrity of the State, and PeDpsyl
vania should not permit her soil to b,
desecratcd by a foe that comes 10 ravag'
and destroy. The destruction Of propcrt.
through the lower counties may be i'm
mense, and should be early checked if i
cannot be entirely prevented.
Col. Tate is in Harrisburg, attendin!
the Democratic State Convention, and vii
probably join the Columbia county boy
from that point.
Lieut.. Aem B. Tate is now (Wednes
day morning) off with the company iron
Bloomsbury, and We hear of another from
the county which will he of on tomorrow
Success attend them.

pressions Of pleasure or displeasure.
The ninth ballot stood as follows:

Hon. George w. Woodward having re.
ceived the largest number of votes, was
declared the nominee of the Convention,
tremendous cheering,) and he was after
wards declared the unanimous nominee of
the Democratic party Of the State for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania.
VICToR E. PIoLErT moved that Walter
II. Lowrie be made the nominee for Judge
of Supreme Court by accamation, which
was agreed to amidst the widest applause
Mr.. Lamberton offered the following
resolution
ReSolued, That it is the desire and re-
quest of this Convention that Hon. George
w. Woodward will continue to occupy his
seat on the bench until his Inauguration
as Governor of Pennsylvania.
A motion was made to reconsider the
resolution.
Mr.. Hughes spoke at length in an elo-
quent strain. He thought that in the
present alarming crisis in our country S
history, when the State is stripped of her
sovereignty, and the Austrian system Of
provost marshals and guards, we need
just such men as Judge Woodward on the
bench. (Cheers.) This is the last in
trenchment behind which the people can
take refuge! (Cheers.) And l ask you
to preserve it,
Let Judge Woodward resign, and let
the power 90 into the hands oil the Exccu.
tive Of this State let Barrett and NJ Do.
well be taken to the government bastiles
from under his very nose, thus abandoning
all State sovereignty-let him resign p
No! tremendous applause.)
Mr., Nebinger thought it would be more
advisable that it should be left to the taste
of Judge Woodward.
The motion to reconsider was Withdrawn
A resolution was adopted instructing
the Chair to appoint the Chairman of the
State Central Committee, subject to the
approval of the candidate for Governor.
Adjourned, SINE die.
After the adjournment, loud calls were
made for Messrs. Hepburn, Clymer, Witt

1ast evening, and the decision was rendered
this morning, dischasging the prisoner from

formation By r.. Il. Dillon, q private in the
39th Iowa regiment, who testified that Ti1man
Chance, who is Il merchant Of Adel, Dallas

vice. Dillon was young man Of good char

forward and consistent. The defendant how
ever, produced five witnesses, all Copperheads
except one, who sworc in direct opposition to
the testimony of the soldier. The Commits.
sioner WIS therefore compelled to discharge
the prisoner. THIS is the first arrest which
has been made under the Conscrlption act in
this State; and notwithstanding the result, 1t
will work good effect, notifying traitors In
