When finrt summoned before you, three years ago, to as sume the sacred duties of the Executive office, the long gathering clouds of civil war' were about to 'break upon our devoted country, For years trea son had been gathering in mights—had been a|c propriating to its ,fiendish lost more, and more bountifully of the nations honors—bod grown steadily bolder in its assnnption of power until it bad won the tolerance, if not thei sanction of a formidable element of popular strength even in the confessedly loyal States. The election of a Presi dent in 1860, in strict conformity .with the Con stitotion and the laws, though not .the cause; was deemed the fit occasion for the organized attempt To,overthrow the whole fabric of otir free institu* tions, and plunge a nation of thirty millions of people Into hopeless anarchy. The grave offence charged against the President; elect seemed’ alone to consist in his avowed fidelity fo the Govern ment, and, his determined purpose to fulfill his solemn covenant to maintain inviolate the Union of the States. When inaugurated,die found States in open rebellion, disclaiming allegiance to the Government, fraudulently appropriating its pro perty and insolently contemning, itsnuthority. Treason was struggling for tupremacy in every department of administrative power. In the Cabi net it feloniously disarmed us—our arsenals were robbed to enable The armies of prime. to drench a continent' in fraternal blood—our' efiasts were left comparatively defenceless to fall an easy victim to tnutore—onr navy was scattered upon distant seas to render the Republic helpless for Us own protec tion-officers, educated, commissioned and .sworn to defend the Government against any foe, became ” B f r *? rB >^ffi e< l Heaven in shameless perjury, and with fratricidal hands drew their swords against the country of their allegiance,; and/when treason diad thus completed its preparations, wanton, wicked waf was forced upon our loyal people. Never was war so Tfie North had sought no sectional triumph. Invaded no rights, inflicted no wrongs upon the South. It aimed to preserve the Republic not to destroy it, and even when rebellion presented the sword as the arbiter, we exhausted every effort consistent with the ex istence of our Government to avert the bloody drama, of the last three years. The-insolent alter native presented by treason of ; fatal dismember ment or internecine war, was met bv generous ef forts to avert the storm of death Which threatened to j i > but *he leaders of the rebeßionspumed peace, üßlesS'tbey could glut their infernal ambition over the rains of the noblest and freest Government ever devised by man. > Three years in bloody, wasting war, and the horrible sacrifice of a quarter of a million lives attest the desperation of their purpose to overthrow our liberties. Mourning arid sorrow spread over the entire nation, and oefeat and desolation are the terrible trophies won by the traitor’s hand. Our people have been sorely tried by disasters, but in the midst of the deepest gloom to the great i u. cause of onr common country, relrina unon the I i, ■. , “*** ultimate triumph of the right/ they - - themselves equal to the stem duty, and worthy of I ™ ~n a troo P s ure so much disaffected that | flaw x their rich inheritance of freedom. ' Their fidelity * ... ,i„. lln( j the | Shirting, 10 c has been well rewarded; fp God’s own good r "■ g 1 ’ “ ‘ time, He has asserted His avenging power, and if this war is presisted in bv the leaders of the re bellion, as-has become evident, then slavery and treason, the fountain and stream of discord and death, must soon share a common grave. In this grand struggle for our honored nation ality, Pennsylvania has ' won immortal fame.— Despite the teachings of the faithless, and the hesitation of the timid, she has promptly and gen erously met every demand made upon, her, whether to repel invasion or to fight the battles of the Union whenever and wherever her people were demanded. Upon every field made historic and sacred by the valor of our troops, some of the martial youth of Pennsylvania have fallen. There is scarce a .hospital that has not been visited bv our Ltind officers to the sick and wounded, there is not a department in which brave men do not an swer with pride to the name of bur noble State, and wfide history endures, loyal hearts will turn with feelings of national pride to Gettysburg, where Iheoommon deliverance of Pennsylvania and the Union will stand recorded in the unsurpassed ttiorv of that bloody field. I need hardly renew .my pledge, that during the term of office on which I am about to enter, I will give my whole moral and official power to the prosecution of this war, and in aiding the National Government in every effort to secure early and complete success over our malignant foes. For the preservation of our national life,- ,11 things should be subordinated. It is the first, hightest, noblest duty* of the citizen—it ishis protection in person, property, and all civil- and religious privi leges, and for tts perpetuity in form and power, he owes all bis efforts, his influence, bis mains, and his life. To compromise with treason would be but .to give it a renewed existence, and enable it again to plunge us into another causeless war In the destruction of the mllilaty power of the rebellion is alone the hope of peace; for while roarch over the soil of any State, no I Wls h all to understand that these prices are authority, consistent with t^geniM 6^™™ e R|^ UI .

The Second Army Corps, for Special I . ■ Sonrioe. Maior-QeoeraiHancock has issued thefollow in* spirited circular, which will, as it ought, reeeiTe a hearty response from all parts of the Commonwealth:— ■ Haar-qbAßcaßa Bacomuo Service Second Coare, .Hmwubdbo, Pa., Jan. 16, 18^4.—Au thority haying been given me to recruit the Second Cora tofiftythonsand(so,ooo) men (of such special sor* ice, under my command, as mav be designated by the War Department, I appeal to the eitinns of Pennsylvania to aid me in filling np ihfl regiments and batteries of my command, which owflj their origin to the State. : They ani as follows: . Eighty-first, One-handred-and-fortieth, One hondred-and sixteenth (batallion), One-hundred and-fiwjhrwjghth, Fifty-third, One-huodred-and fotty-ftftb, | Seventy-first, Seventv-second, Sixty ninth and: One-nondred-ami-slxth Regiments of Infontry, and batteries F and' G, First Pennsylvania Artillery, and O and F, Indepent dent Pennsylvania Artillery. ■ Vofil the Ist of March next, the following bounties wiu be paid, by the General Government: For veterans, $408; for others, $302. All volunteers enlisted for this ofganation, wHI be accredited to the city, county, town, township or ward which they may elect as the place to which they desire the credit given. When no such election is made the enlisting officer will give credit to the place of enlistment. Each locality is, therefore, interested in increas ing the nnqiber of enlistment to the extent of its quota in the draft, and any stimlus given bv local bounties or Other efforts will have the eflect of preventing those who desire to volunteer from halving the places of their residence and enlisting elsewhere, where the inducements offered may be greater. The same regulations that have hitherto gov erned enlistment in this State, as to the persons empowered foenlist, the rules for mustering and for furnishing transportation and supplies will apply in this] case. Any one desiring to enlist in' either of these or ganisations may do so in any part of the State'by making application to the District Provost Mar shal, or any recntitiiig officer from the Second Corps, no matter to which regiment said officer may belong.| ■ co, * ie wnOD B yon as a Pennsylvanian, for the purpose of endeavoring to aid yon in stim ulating eoJiet|Dents. this is a matter of interest to all citizens of this State, its quota being nearly still 30,000 defi cient, I earnestly call upon you all to assist by ex erring the influence in your power in this impor tant matter. To adequately reinforce our armies in the flaid isjto insure that the war will not reach your, homes, and will be the means of bringing it to a speedy and happy conclusion, and of saving the lives of many of our brave soldiers, who would otherwise be Ipst by the profnogation of ihe war and in indecisive battles. It is only necessity to destroy the Rebel armies oow in the field to insure ft speedy nnd permanent P 8- W all act With that fact in view. Let it not be said that Pennsylvania, which has al ready given tso many of her citizens to tbis righteous cause, should now, at this-eleventh hour, be behind her sister States in furnishing her quota of the nfen deemed necessary to end the Rebellion. Some Starts have filled their quotas; others will do so; a little exertion pa our part will soon fill all the decimated regiments of the State, and obviate the necessity of a draft. 1 ' l>t it nbt be that those organizations which have won for themselves and their State so much honor shall pins out of existence for the want of patrfotiun ?n (be people. Unless these regiments are filled to foe minimum strength they will soon cease to exist.; It will be necessary to act quickly to insure success. Other States, by having used greater exertions, and by (be inducement of local bounties, draw away your young men. By giv ing bounties at home, and stimulating the State will secure to vour regiments that por- : tion of the male population Whose circumstances 1 readily permit them to take the field.

Oscr Xaxxx Little Thinos Wanted.—The Richmond correspondent of the London Times, in his last doleful fetter, which has recroesed the At lantic, says that if the rebel Congress, “ which, it must be owned,; has hitherto shown Rule grasp or earnestness oroapacity, foils.to rise to ;foe height of the great argument before it, then may he ex pected such miser}- as upon earth has never been known.” But what is required of this rebel Con gress, to prevent this unexampled misery ? Only three things; bni three things which Jeff's Congress could not supply If it possessed all the Wisdom of the four quarters of the globe. These three things are t Pint, a passable rebel paper currency—as difficult a Job as; the filling with water a tub from which the bottom has been knocked out; second, large reinforcements to the rebel armies from half a dozen Starts j already exha stated by merciless conswiptfops ofj their able bodied men; third, f Ol1 ™ cottfribtttioiß from the people pf these half doaett States, when they themselves are star ving.

Strike on the Fort Wayne Railroad. ! tha * “ strike, extending from I Pittsoufg to Chicago, has taken place among the engineers of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chi cago,BaAroad, compelling for the prtaent at feast the stoppage of all traffic on the line. They de mandan increase of twenty per cent, upon the wages now paid them, and, as the company refuse i to accede, to the advance, they haver struck in a : and declare their intention of remaining idle until the road complies with their request. The officers of the company were notified some two weeks ago that, unless the required advance was given, the men -would "strike, and, yesterday after noon, failing to get a favorable reply, they quit yrork, so that last evening the company • was una ble to send out the usual trains, and the mails : and passengers had to go by the Cleveland and Pittsburgh road. The strike continues to-day, i butthe company Succeeded in sending out a tram ! with the mails this morning in charge of one of the ■ machinists in their employ.. Business is, however ; virtually suspended along the road, nor can it be > again resumed until new hands are|procured, or a ; settlement is effected with the old ohes. i The officers of the road claim that the men have ' had their salaries raised within a short rime and now receive a full equivalent for their services. However this may be, it is certain that the strike -i wtil not only greatly inconvenience the public should it continue for any length of time, but will also result in heavy pecuniary loss to the company, whose business just now is exceedingly heavy and cannot well afford to be thus interrupted. ’lt is aso said that very many of these engineers are old firemen and not machinists, and are now ear ning far more than they could in any other position • also, that the engineers make other demands which, it granted, would destroy all the discipline or the road, and subject the company to constant ami most tyrannical dictation from their employees, i* rom what we can learn,, the company arc pre pared and determined to withstand these demands, and will not resume business in full until tliev can manage their own road. So there is no knowing when the regular traffic of the road may be resum ed, although the mail, accommodation and passen pr trains will he running, it is hoped, in a very few days. The number of engineers on (he road is probably between two and three hundred.—Pittn hunjh Chronicle, lsth imt. .Reports from the South.

Armed with authority to meet during ; the session or in the recess, and to send for persons 1 and papers, it will be difficult for any suspicious operation to escape its notice; provide*! the com mittee be thorough and honest in its investigation. Of course the efficiency of the committee will very , much depend on the elements of which it is to hie composed; but, as all parties will have to be ap|Kiinted on it to give it a complexion of fairness, it ought to lyork well for the public intrests. A body like this, sitting en jtenumancr, cannot hut exercise a wholesome influence over both govern ment officers and contractors. When the latter find that detection is prompt and punishment cer tain, they will make up their minds; that honesty is the best policy. 1 GRAND VICTORY! THE CASH SYSTEM TRIUMPHANT! Two years experience has convinced me that when goods are sold for Cash, they can be qold at a very small advance on first cost; therefore I have determined to make amotheu reduction in my prices, to take effect « O.V AND AFTER DECEMBER 4th, 1863, j In taking this step, I have been actuated solely iby a desire to benefit the laboring classes. While l there has been but a small advance iin wages, the i necessaries of life have advanced enormously, and j the prospects are that they will still go higher, j Believing that the additional amount of goods 1 which I can sell, at the, reduced prices, will justify j me in my undertaking, I respectfully invite the j attention of the public to the following figures. Almost every person is aware of the prices at which the goods specified are now selling, hence they will readily note the reduction, and can easily j figure up the saving to them in them in the course jof a year. My prices have heretofore been as low, 1 if not lower,, than those of any other merchant in the country, hut I now make the following reduc tions in DRY GOODS. Calicoes, Delaines,..
