MEssRs. EDITORS AS cannot spend
this day in the mapner in which | have
been used in spending it among my friends
and relatives, | will employ the time in
sending you few jottinss of my journey
from Butler to this place. ] left Butler
in the Freeport Hack, on Wednesday, the
29th ult., and reached that place just in
time to take the cars for the Smoky City,
where | arrived few minutes before 7
o'clock on going to the depot of the
Central, | had to wait until half past
eight for train for Harrisburg; getting
on board, we had run through the noun
tains OF Pennsylvania after night. arriv-
ing in Harrisburg about sunrise; here
we got breakfast, and then took the cars
for that city made famous by its inhabi-
1ants bathing its streets with the first Loy-
About 81 miles from Harrisburg, one
of the axles of the Tender broke, letting
the it down on the ties; the train
was running very fast at the time the ac-
cident took place; as soon as it was dis
covered the Engineer blew the whistle
for down brakes, and reversed the engine,
but we taEt tearing along over the tics for
about 500 yards; the train was checked
up, and on getting out to see what was
wrong, we found the tender a perfect
wreck. Here was a fix; the Conductor
had to send back to York for another en-
gine and baggage car; both these articles
being rendered useles by the break down;
about three hours after, another engine
came to our relief, and we arrived in Bal
timore about four honrs behind time, and
during a very heavy rain; it run along the
cutters, at the sides of the streets, in foods;
how I hoped it was pouring down in old
Butler county at the same rate. Along
the route the grain was nearly all in shock;
/ saw some splendid fields of wheat in
Maryland, the shocks standing very thick
upon them; great deal of the grass was
cut, and from all appearance, has been an
average crop; taking the cars at Balti-
more, | reached the Capitol weary and
worn out with travelling and want Of sleep.
| remained over night in the city; visited
the capitol and saw the sights in general
around the city, and then came out to this
place on Friday, the first day of July, af-
ter long journey of three days. All is
quiet about the city; no news of impor-
tance from the army. There is strong
talk of another draft, when some of the
Home Guards of old Butler county, will
get something to do, besides laying around
home. BY the word Home Guards, | do
not mean men of families, but those young
gents that have nothing to care for but
themselves, and think that the young la
dies cannot do without their presence
Girls, have nothing to do with them, for
young man that is afraid to come out
and fight for his country, will not make
a good husband; wait till the war is over
and get men whep the soldiers return.

Editors Citizen DEAR SIRs. | have
come to the conclusion to pen to you few
lines for publication, hoping you will give
it place in the columns of your paper,
and much oblige one of Pennsylvania
patriotic sons. l wish to give you a small
detail of our fifty-three days campaign.
Our Regiment left this place for the
front, on the second of May, and march
ed to Ringgold, at which point We Joined
our brigade, and marched to Buzzard
Roost, there we found the enemy in strong
position, they had their artillery massed
in the Gap; to charge on it would be
death to men, where nothing could be
accomplished. We formed our line as
close to them as possible and commenced
to skirmish, giving our fanks time to
close in on them We lay there until the
eleventh, when our division got orders to
march to the right wing of our line. We
took up our line of march on the twelfth,
and arrived at Resacca on the fourteenth,
there we formed our line in front of the
American citizen. [volume] (Butler, Butler County, Pa.) 1863-1872, 1864-07-13
Stirring Appeal to Freemen.
Veteran Soldiers Called On.

HARRISBURG, July 6-The following
proclamation has just been issued by the
Governor:
Pennsylvania S. s.: In the name and
by the authority of the commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, | Andrew G. Curtin, Gov
ernor of said Commonwealth, do issue
this my proclamation. 1t is now ascer-
tanned that a large rebel force has been
detached from Richmond, and is advanc-
ing on the North. SO large portion of
our army is at remote points that il be-
comes necessary to raise Immediately
sufficient body of volunteers to repeF
them. They are already within the bor-.
der of the Commonwealth. You have
always heretofore been ready to answer the
call Of your country. You will not be
less ready to come when your homes and
fresides are to be defended against prof
ligate horde of plunderers | am author
lied by the President of the United States
to call for twelve thousand volunteers in
addition to those required by my Procla-
nation Of yesterday. to serve for one hun
dred days in Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Washington and its vicinity. | appeal
to the freemen of Pennsylvania to rouse
themselves for the necessary effort, and
come promptly, to sweep the invaders
from her soil. refer to the general or
der from the headquarters of the Penn
sylvauia militia, No. so, dated July 5th,
1864, published with this proclamation
for the details of the arrangements, do
most earnestly require the good and loyal
men of the Commonwealth and especial
ly of the veteran soldiers in all her bor-
ders to show themselves to be worthy Of
her in this emergency. Her sons have
established for themselves on many,
bloody field reputation for martial vir-
tues, which they will not now forfeit, when
both their well earned fame and the safe
ty of their homes and families are at
stake

To Our Subscrtbers

This issue of our paper will be the
last going out from Cincinnati, and the
next, and all future issues, will come from
Knoxville, direct, ria Nashville. We
have at length purchased one of Hoes
fine printing presses, in New York. and it
is now at Louisville, on its winding way
to Knoxville. We expect to have this
new machine in operation in very short
time, when our paper will come out by the
mails, with regularity. We may have to
miss one or two of the next issues, but
if they are delayed in coming to subscri-
bers, they will understand that it is done
on account of the shipment, and the put
ting under way Of our new press.
All communications, as well as ex-
change papers, either to the undersigned.
or Capt. A. E. Blunt, will be addressed
to "Knoxville Tennessee" where they
will reach us and receive attention, as we
go with the paper to Knoxville, and re-
main among the fixtures of the Office -
Our list Of subscribers is now very large.
and is growing daily Letadvertisements
as well as names of subscribers be sent on
to Knoxville, and they will receive prompt
attention. Remittences at our risk.
Those who are opposed to the late Bal
tnlore ticket, setting forth Lincoln and
johnson, and the Anti- ,HaUe,y Platform,
they stand upon, would do well not to pat
ronize us, for we stand with these candi-
dates upon the same platform! And all
who are in sympathy with this rebellion,
Or have plates Of copper on their heads,
would do well not to subscribe for our
sheet, as they will frequently get their
feelings hurt. And all who are for
Peace" for the Cleveland, or Chicago
nominees for the Presidency, would do
well to have no fellowship with our paper
for we are for Lincoln & johnson, and
for the war to the bitter end.
We will thank papers, friendly to our
cause, to insert this card once as means
of giving information to the public abroad

The Rebel Raid.

Since the commencement of the war,
there has scarcely been an instance of an
attempted invasion, the strength and des-
tination of which have been so long in
doubt, as the one now occupying Mary
land, with force variously estimated at
from 10000 to 10000 strong, and threat
ening Baltimore and Washington. Sew
eral sharp engagements have already Ia
ken place, and our forces have had to fall
back before superior numbers. The
participants in this raid seem more mali
cious in their work of destruction, than
is usual with even rebel raiders, destroy
ing property as they 60 This movement
is doubtless intended as an offset to the
many raids which have been made by our
Cavalry during the progress of the pres
ent campaign in Virginia, and perhaps in
the hope of diverting portion of Grants
army from their present offensive opera
tions against the strongholls Of Eastern
Virginia but in this they will be disap-
pointed The Government will find suffi-
cient force to take care of any force Ewell,
and Breckenridge, may be able to collect
In the mean time, all possible exertion
should be made to sustain the authorities
in this emergency The Gov. of Mary
land and Mayor of Baltimore, have join
ed.in call upon all the organizations of
the State militia, Loyal Leagues, &c, }
to rally for the defense of Baltimore
Similar arrangements are being perfected
at Washington. We trust Pennsylvania
will do her duty in this trying hour. The
patriot never despairs of his country.

ELECTION ON TUESDAY, AUGUST ., 1854.

R1" Two weeks ago, we called the at
tention of our citizens to the fact that a
special election was to be held on the I'd
of August, and urged its Importance upon
our readers. Wealso requested ourneigh-
Dor of the Herald, to call the attention of
his readers to this matter; but were sur
prisod to observe that the subject had been
passed orer without a word. Certainly
this was accidental We mention this
matter now for the purpose of enabling
him to dohimsclf justice by putting him
self right on the record on this matter -
the great majority of the people, we be-
lieve, without distinction of party, are
right now.
