Since it was dated April 15th of 1861 and the following states had already left the union (per his proclamation) South Carolina - Mississippi - Florida - Alabama - Georgia - Louisiana - Texas; therefore I assume this proclamation would include the remaining states that had yet to secede:
Virginia (April 17th); Arkansas (May 6th); North Carolina (May 20th); Tennessee (June 8th)

per Simon Cameron's letter to the state governors for 75,000 volunteers April 15, 1861, Arkansas (1 regiment), Missouri and Kentucky (4 regiments), and Virginia (3 regiments)

Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Virginia.

 

[luinrina]

Virginia and Arkansas.

The call for troops was sent to the governors of all states not (yet) seceded (excluding California and Oregon) but only the following states got a quota to fulfil:

The quota to each state is as follows: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Arkansas, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota, one regiment each; New York 17 regiments; Pennsylvania, 15 regiments; Ohio, 13; New Jersey, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, four regiments each; Illinois and Indiana, six regiments each; Virginia, three regiments.

After that call for troops, Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas and Tennessee seceded, but since neither North Carolina nor Tennessee were asked to send troops, the answer to the question is Virginia and Arkansas.

Edit - Although they never officially seceded, Missouri and Kentucky were eventually represented by stars on the Confederate flag.

Arkansas, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri.
Of the 13 states with stars on the rebel flag, these six had not yet joined the rebellion when Lincoln called for volunteers on April 15, 1861. Arkansas, Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee eventually seceded; Kentucky and Missouri remained in the Union.

Edit - Lincoln's call recognized that seven states had already seceded, so he didn't ask for troops from those states.

[Michigander]

There were 13 stars on the confederate stars and bars, each representing a state. Lincoln in his executive order for calling up 75,000 troops declared 7 states in open rebellion leaving 6 to make the decision to raise the troops needed or secede. Those 6 states were:
1. Virginia
2. Arkansas
3. North Carolina
4. Tennessee
5. Kentucky (didn't officially secede)
6. Missouri (didn't officially secede)
