75.--Governor Curtin's proclamation, April 20.
Whereas, an armed rebellion exists in a portion of the States of this Union, threatening the destruction of the national Government, periling public and private property, endangering the peace and security of this Commonwealth, and inviting systematic piracy; and whereas, adequate provision does not exist by law to enable the Executive to make the military power of the State as able and efficient as it should be for the common defence of the State and the General Government, and
Whereas, An occasion so extraordinary requires prompt legislative power--
Therefore, I, by virtue of the power vested in me, do hereby convene the General Assembly of this Commonwealth, and require the members to meet at their respective Houses at Harrisburg, on Tuesday, April 30th, at noon, there to take into consideration and adopt such measures in the premises as the present exigencies may demand. Andrew C. Curtin.

76.--the capture of the Star of the West, April 20.
The expedition for the capture of the vessel composed of about 80 men, under command of Col. Van Dorn, hurriedly organized in Galveston, Tex., was made up of men from the Galveston Artillery and the Island City Rifles; the Guards are Irish, and the Rifles are a German company.
The party arrived at Indianola on Wednesday, and kept all ready, apparently in no manner interested in the active preparations going on for the debarkation of the United States soldiers, which was effected by the aid of the steamship Fashion, acting as a lighter to remove the men to the Star of the West, which lay outside.
About half-past 9 o'clock at night Col. Van Dorn and his band quietly got on board the Gen.
Rusk, and made out to the Star of the West.
When the Rusk got within hailing distance, the captain of the United States vessel sang out to know who was approaching.
Van Dorn replied:
The General Rusk, with troops on board.
