With the threat of invasion it is widely felt that Harrisburg will be the target of the Confederate forces, obviously to capture our railroads. Governor Curtin has called on the state legislature to activate the militia and declared a state of emergency in the capital city.

- A PROCLAMATION -

The State of Pennsylvania is again threatened with invasion, and an army of rebels is approaching our border. The President of the United States has issued his proclamation calling upon the state for fifty thousand men. Likewise Governor Curtin has announced a call for militia to be immediately activated and sworn into service at this time of great peril. The governor stated:

At this writing, efforts are being undertaken to enlist a company of emergency troops in Adams County. A notice of enrollment will soon be posted at the court house on Baltimore Street.

The girl in question has been serving in the army for near a year, under the assumed name of Frank Martin, and is still retained though her disguise has been detected a second time, and is, at present, said to be on duty at Louisville. She was born near Bristol, Pa., and her parents reside in Allegheny city, where she was raised. They are highly respectable people, and in very good circumstances. She was sent to the convent in Wheeling, Virginia [now West Virginia], at the age of twelve years, where she remained, until the breaking out of the war, having acquired a superior education and all the accomplishments of modern usage. She visited home after leaving the convent, and, after taking leave of her parents, proceeded to this city in July last, with the design of enlisting in the 2d East Tennessee Cavalry, which she accomplished, and accompanied the Army of the Cumberland to Nashville. She was in the thickest of the fight at Murfreesboro', and was severely wounded in the shoulder, but fought gallantly and waded Stone's River on the memorable Sunday on which our forces were driven back. She had her wound dressed, and here her sex was disclosed.
