Notes: Printed on border: "When the Confederate cavalry force under General Jenkins crossed the Potomac, a movement happily portrayed by our artist, and hurried across Maryland, within the borders of the Keystone State all was confusion and alarm. As they advanced it was impossible to tell what point would be assailed. Pittsuburg, with its machine shops and foundries; Harrisburg, the capital, with the State archives; Philadelphia with its great wealth, might any or all be reached. In this emergency the Governor exerted his full powers, the citizens to some extent rallying to his call."
