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.
