To the People of Philadelphia: or, at any rate, at Carlisle, and every woman in For nearly a week past it has been publicly known that the rebels in force were about to enter Pennsylvania. On the twelfth instant an 'urgent call was made on the people to raise a departmental army corps for the defence of the State. Yesterday, under the proclamation of the President, the militia were called out. Today, a new and pressing exhortation has been from the portraits of the governors to the books given to furnish men to repel the invasion. in the library. The books, papers, paintings, Philadelphia has not responded-meanwhile and other valuables were packed in freight-cars, the enemy is six miles this side of Chambersburgh, and advancing rapidly. Our capital is threatened, and we may be disgraced by its fall, while the men who should be driving the outlaws from our soil are quibbling about the possible term of service for six months. It never was intended to keep them beyond the continuance of the emergency. You all know this by what happened when the militia were called out last autumn. You then trusted your Government and were not deceived. Trust it again now. I will accept men without reference to the six months' term. If you do not wish to bear the ignominy of shirking from the defence of your State, come forward at once. Close your places of business and apply your hearts to the work. Come in such organizations as you can form. General Couch has appointed Lieutenant-Colonel Ruff to superintend your organizations. Report to him immediately. and made ready for instant departure in case of decided signs of danger to the city. "Measures were taken yesterday to rouse the people to the danger at hand, and during to-day about one thousand persons were earnestly at work on the other side of the Susquehanna, throwing up a bastioned redoubt, for the protection of Harrisburgh. The work was kept up all day, and far into the evening, and late to-night we saw files of laborers returning from their unwonted toil. "There were but few regular soldiers in town to-day, the principal display being made by three companies of invalids from the military hospitals at York. They arrived during the afternoon, and when drawn up on Third street, they looked as if there was considerable fight in them yet. "During the entire afternoon, Market street was occupied with army wagons from Milroy's division, which rumbled across the old bridge, and from thence past the railroad depot and out to a -BRIGADIER-GENERAL FREDERICK S.

At Harrisburgh the excitement was intense. A correspondent at that place, describing the scene, says: "It is difficult to convey an exact idea of the state of affairs here to-night, not only on account of the confusion existing, but in consequence of the danger of trenching on what may be contraband ground.

A procession composed of military and civic organizations and the citizens of the State generally, with numerous bands of music, marched through the principal streets to State House Square, where the meeting organized by choosing Ira Perley, President, with twenty Vice-Presidents. A series of resolutions were adopted, pledging support to the Government in putting down the rebellion. The fourth resolve was as follows: "That the men of the loyal States, who, by word or deed, directly or indirectly, under what ever pretence or disguise, discourage the recruiting and maintaining of our army and navy, or in any other way lend their aid to schemes calculated to embarrass the Government in this crisis of the national life, ally themselves with the rebellion and are traitors at heart." -YESTERDAY, in latitude, twelve degrees Eloquent addresses were made by Major-Gennorth, longitude thirty degrees, the rebel priva-eral Butler, Montgomery Blair, General Hamilteer Florida captured the ship B.

She had received sixty bales of Sea-Island cotton, and was awaiting for another arrival from when a spy or some traitorous person conveyed the fact to the enemy's fleet blockading. The result was, that the enemy sent nine launches with armed men, captured the schooner with the cotton on board, and took her to the fleet. When the news reached Chattahoochee, Lieutenant Guthrie, commanding the confederate States ironclad gunboat Chattahoochee, ordered steam to be raised, and was determined to pass the obstructions in the river, if possible, with a view of attacking the United States steamer, and endeavor to relieve the Fashion.
