VOLUNTEER MILITIA OF 1862.
When the rebel army achieved its triumphs in the second battle of Bull Run, it hastened northward and commenced crossing the Poto- mac. The southern border of Pennsylvania lay unprotected in close proximity, and its rich harvests invited invasion. The Reserve Corps, which was originally organized for the State de- fense, had been called away to the succor of the hard-pressed army of Mcclellan upon the Peninsula, and was now npon the weary march, with ranks sadly thinned in the hard-fought battles of Mechanicsville, Gaines' Mill, Charles City Cross-Roads and the second Bull Run, to again meet the foe, but powerless to avert the threatened danger. The result of the struggle on the plains of Manassas was no sooner known than the helpless condition of the State, which had been apparent from the first, became a sub- ject of alarm. On September 4th, Governor Curtin issued a proclamation, calling on the people to arm and prepare for defense. He recommended the immediate formation of com- panies and regiments throughout the common- wealth, and, for the purpose of drill and instruction, that after three P. M. of each day all business houses be closed. On the 10th, the danger having become imminent, and the enemy being already in Maryland, he issued a general order, calling on all able-bodied men to enroll immediately for the defense of the State, and to hold themselves in readiness to march upon an hour's notice, to select officers, and to provide themselves with such arms as could be obtained, with sixty rounds of ammunition to the man. He tendered arms to such as had none, and promised that they should be held for service for such time only as the pressing exigency for State defense should continue. On the following day, acting under authority of the President of the United States, the Governor called for fifty thousand men, directing them to report by telegraph for orders to move, and add- ing that further calls would be made as the exigencies should require. The people every- where flew to arms, and moved promptly to the State capital. One regiment and eight companies were sent forward during the night of the 12th,
