OOTERKOR OLDEST. PROCLAMATION 8. In our present issue, and the Inst twfl previous, we hare published two proclamations ol tj)e Governor of our state, to wbich we wish to call especial attention. The first of those proclamations calU for the organization of the militia of our8tate; and to understand its requirements, the reader will only have carefully to read it. The proclamation appeals to every good citizen of New Jersey, but, more especially, to those between the ages ef eighteen and fortyfife.^ We are sorry to feel that there is a necessity of urging the subject matter of that proclamation upon the people ; but it appears to us that such a necesity exists. We hare eo long heard of a war at a distance, in the Southem States, without feeling the immediate devastaliagelbcla in our own territory 2d at oar own homes, that, so far as invasion of the north is concerned,, we seem to bsve lulled into an apathetic security, and many people will laugh at the mention of an invasion, at least so far north as New Jersey. It fa. true the whole nation, but a short time since, was startled with the appearance of the rebel enemy on the ; eery borders of Pennsylvania, and the j wear approach of another- olan of the j same enemy to Ohio, and, subsequently, 1 toTllinois ; but lined1 they have been j Mini in their attempts there, we have i again relaxed oar exertions, and seam i to bare pome 'to the conclusion that they will never make another inch attempt ; j or. If the y do. thet they, never can snc- ! cessfblly carry h out. Wo - hope, they ! never «R1 ; bnt, et tbo same time, we are not passed danger yet, and those who. think we are, are greatly mistaken. ^ttbfM^d the rebels attempt aaother sutu a raid, we hare no doubt but the people would rise up, almost en matte, as they did at the last threatening bnt then, what a difference it would make in tha efficiency of snch en army, were they well drilled. Nor fa thfa all : There will be other calls for troops, probably, withott any each threatened invasions ; and what a vast difference a thorough drilling of our miUtia would make in the efficiency of Mt recruits, warn c*Jlqjl into service. Bad there been -/uch * drilling throughout the northern stales, tor the last twelve or eighteen mouth, what a vast difference it #ould hare made in the fast 600.0(8 called into tbe field Tt it upon this very point that we are deficient, sad entirely in the rear of the rebels. While we are now drilling that 660,000 mea, they, by cenecriptioo, are increasing their army, with men tolerably well drilled. We say, then, that tha recommendation of the Governor ought 15 be heeded at once. Let it be •ceded In Cape May. Let companies lb organized whtre they have not been, and reorganised whore they have. Will thryaeple of Oepe May, as well aa the rem of tbo state, head ikie recommendation? Bat we base • few words ia relation

to the second proclamalbn, which may ' be fonnd iu oar present issue.. This proclamation calls for volunteers to fill . up the first ten rtgimen ts, who have been in tha service,* most of them, for a year or more, during which time their ranks have been considerably thinned by . disease and tbe sword. Of lliese regiments the Governor < speaks ia the highest terms o^pr- i^e, j but hot above what they have richly j J merited. -Too much can scarcely be I r said in commendation of their bravery, ' j gallantry, and endurance of hardships • Who has not heard of the "Jersey . ' Blues" on the fields of Williamsburg, ' . Fair Oaks, in the seven days battle be- i " fore Richmond, at Roanoke and New. . . bern ? and in tbe more recent battles i ' at Bull Run. Aud who, on any occa- ( sion, has ever heard that one of lhem „ • has ever showed the "while feather ?" ' ' They have seen their comrades sicken j and die in camp; they have felt tbe j • withering effects of disease themselves, j ■ and have beard tbe rebel bullets whist- t | ling around their ears, mod- seen their comrades fall at their side, and yet | amidst ail these hardships and (tarda, | they have stood unflinching as vetefans I of a lifetime service of warfare; anil., • still they stand, though their ranks are \ , thinned, ready to do the bidding of their., • country. These men havd gained for > their Stale an enviable reputation which » the army of the "first Napoleon well - might covet ; a reputation which bos been : I sounded all over tho, country. Aud i shall they be left with their thinned r Tanks, scarcely able, in tbe future, to . t maintain that reputation ? or Bball the ■ ranks of such brave men have to be filled by draft ? Let tho gratitude wo owe ; i them forbid. Let the honor of our j , r State forbid. Let tbe spirit oS our young men still left at home forbid. , - And let the lore of oar country, with , f its free instituting, forbid. Are there i no more young men ready to follow the s example of the 80,000 Jersey men who { r have preceded them 7 Are there noue In , i Cape May. It is true, New Jersey has , L done nobly, and Cape May, of late, has ( : come np to the work manfully ; but our , t bleediug country's cause calls for still > more self-sacrificing patriofk, and shall | there not be a heartj response ? , !

Hurlbut marched on Saturday to tbe south side of the Ustcbie riser, I with & largo force, thus culling- off i Price's retreat. - Geueral Rosecrans moved early this . morning, to renew tbe attack. Cannon- j i ading was beard to-day in tbe di- , rcction of tho forces. Price is in the forks of the Ilatchie, between Hurlbut audLRasrcrens' forces. . / |g^""Leter official* despatches fully confirm tbe above. | There has been no battle yet in Kentucky, but considerable activity in both armies, and some skirmishing. There is a report that the rebel Morgnn, at the bead of 1,000 rebels, attacked the Carter county Home Guards, near Olive i Hill, on Friday last ; and after several hours' severe skirmishing, the rebels ; were repulsed, and retreated. Several | of the rebels were killed. Another body of nome Guards was attacked 6n the Red River, by tbe reb. els ; but the rebels were repulsed with great slaughter. The rebels were concentrating a large force at Bardstown, about twenty miles ; northeasterly from Louisville but havo retreated towards Frankfort, and onr [ army was occupying Bardstown. The , rebels were supposed to have from 30,- ' 000 to 85,000 within a few roths. We had captured 600 rebels iu that vicinity, ^ during tbe skirmishing. Gen, Geo. W. Morgan, with his whole force from Cumberland Gap, has arrived at Greenupeburg, on the Ohio, after 'OMTof the hardest marches during the war, of sixteen days, in which they were harassed on every hand by the rebels. One day they marched twenty-four consecutive hours, and for three days had nothing to subsist on but corn gathered from tho fields on their line of march, and often no water but that from puddles by the way. Tbfcy left the works at the Gap in a worthless condition. They brought away all their cannon but | four, whieh they left in a damaged con-* dition. They left nothing of any ser- ' vice to theirebels. There is no special nows from McClellan's army. Last Saturday the rebels eaptnred a company of n Pennsylvania regiment, which was guarding tbo Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridge at Pawpaw, tlcrnity of Uarper's Ferry, Va; and at about the same time our cavalry captared the camp of the rebel captors, bringing nwaj two pieces of artillery, ten wagons, and sixty horses and males. The railroad bridge at Harper's Ferry baa been completed, and tha cars are carrying over troops, provisions, amnoition, Ac. An advance into Virginia, either by the way of Harper's Ferry or Williaaisport, is expected. There aj^eare to have been a pretty brisk fight dt Ssrcozie, -according to reports from Springfield. Mo. Two brigades of the Kaaafa army were there on tbe 2sfb, and heavy triag bad been hoard in that direction. Tie particulars of tbe battle art not known. The rebels boast of having large forces in Arkeosas, on the Missouri Bute line, from whence they threaten lo march direeily on St. Louis. thrj louisvuir tra6rdt. Last wet k, we briefly noticed the killof Gen Nelson, by Gen. Jeff. C. Davfa, at | he Gelt Honse, Louisville, Ky. They were both brigadiers, but ' Nelson v is the senior of Davis,

i and therefore bis superior officer The 1 1 1 circumstance! or tbe case, so-far as we [ i ' are able to learn them, are brieby as I. i follows: Davis, at aome time prevfau, j i ; had applied to Kelson iu referer.ee tQ I ) ; arms for volunteers ; Nelson asked Dai i via how many men he bad, to which j. i ; Davis replied, "About 2500 •" Nelson, I , in a most sarcastic and rough manner, ' , ! rebuked binrfor not knowing the exact i unraber. Davis replied that he bad only r applied to know whether tbe article ! 1 conld be supplied, on learning which, he would ascertain and report tbe exact , number of men, as new ones were com- > ing in. Nelson continued his abusive ' • language; and ordered Davis to report , himself to Gen. Wright, at Cincinnati for orders, wbich he did ; but Wright • ''having gone to Louisville the same day, » Davis returned. On the doy of the tragedy, Davis in presence of Gov. Morton, who was conversing with Nel- . son at tho /task or the botol, demanded 1 of Nelson an apology, tbe demand bring < twice repealed, at each of wbich Nelsou ' slapped Davis in the face, calling him bv ■ j various "insulting epithets ; whereupon Davis procufad a pistol of u friend, and tkot Nelson through the left breast, as , he was goin^ np stairs. Nelson surviv- | ed but about tw<p^J minutes. Davis is under arrest, and will be tried by court martial. The penalty of his crime, according to tbo articles of i i war, is death. While Nelson was a brave and effi- , cient officer, he is said to be very oveii j bearing, rough and insulting to hi-; subi : ordi nates; and while wo would by no I means justify Davis for bis conduct, it is'riol so much to be wondered at, if the I circumstances are correctly reported ; and we can but think that Nelson re- , ; ceived bnt little more than his deserts. I Such affrays- among the officers of our , army arc, however, deeply to be regretted. latest' news. (Jen.
