The enemy Approaching!
‘
--By special courier from
Romney,
Hampshire county, we are informed that the
Federal forces, to the number of 1,000, arrived in that town on Wednesday, at 12 o'clock, and took possession.
A forward movement is hourly looked for, and
Winchester is beyond question the next point to be advanced upon by the miserable mercenaries of a corrupt and profligate military dictator.
Men of
Frederick, arouse, and prepare to meet the invader of your soil.
Your honor demands it. The sanctity of your homes, the protection due to your wives, your mothers and sisters, demands an instantaneous rally.
By all the memories of the glorious past, by all the demands of the exigent present, and by all the hopes for a successful future, we conjure you to rally to the standard of your State, and prepare to give
Lincoln's ruffians a warm reception.
