73.-Proclamation of Governor Parker.
A ProclamationEXECUTIVE Chamber, Trenton, N. J., June 16, 1863.
Jerseyen: The State of Pennsylvania is invaded.
A hostile army is now occupying and despoiling the towns of our sister State.
She appeals to New-Jersey, through her Governor, to aid in driving back the invading army.

The organization of these troops will be given in General Orders as soon as practicable. Joel Parker. Attest: S. M. Dickinson, Private Secretary.
