Upwards of 300 volunteers from Pennsylvania are now prisoners, but as artaug meuts have hovAr made lor the txjuauge of prist.utis it cii*y be expected that they will soon be released. Iu compliance with the joint resolutions of the 16.u of May last, 1 h,.ve procured regi mental flags for tt.e Peuuiyivauia voiuoteers, and have presented them in person to m >st of the regiments. Iu oilier cases, the regitu, uts being ou or near the Potomac, r have n quest* ed Mr. Gowau, Senator, and Messrs. Grow and YV ngi.t members of the House of Represen tatives, from Pennsylvania, to preseut them in the name oi the Common Wealth. The General GotutiUHiatrtquetted that the States thuuid abstain trorn purchasing arms, as their competition Mas found injurious iu the market, aud iu view of the large expenditures of money in arming aud equipping the volun teer force of the State, providad~for the de fence of the Rational Government, I did not purchase any as authorized by tae. ilSth sec tion of the aat of the Isth of May, 1801. The Statu has now quite as many arms as are nes ccssary to arm all her volunteer organizations in existeaoe; hut, influenced by the threateu iug aspect of our relations with foreign gov ernments, 1 have directed the Adjutant Gener al to procure arms as soou as it can be done ! on reasonable terms and without injurious com petition with the National Government. Arms have beeu distiibuted auiuug tku border coun ties to all the organizations that have been formed to receive theui. 1930 arms have beeu thus distributed, i have also addressed a let ter to the commissioners of ail the border couuties, offering arms to them as soon as tail, itary orgaizatiotis shall be formed to receive them. Besides thus complying with the re quirements of the 27 th seoiiou of the Act ot loth May last, 1 have deemed it prudent to off-r five thousand arms to such military or" gauizatious as may be formed in Philadelphia on a pliio to be appro ved by me as Commander in-Chief. Muskets and rifles to a considerable extent have been furnished to the Pennsylva nia volunteers Ironi the State arsenal. Others have beeu sent by the United Stales authori ties to arm them before leaving the State. In some cases regiments have gone without arms under assurances from the War department that they wou.d he urrned at Washing tun or other uoar designated poiuts, and tut their immediate departure was required, it was thought wise in these cases not to iusist on the arms beiug .-eot before the regiments marched, as this woulu have imposed on the government an unutceasary expense iu freight, and would have been productive ot dciays which ought have been seriously detrimental to ilie punite service, ijorty-two pieces of artillery with limbers, caissons, forges, ammunition wagous, haruess aud ml the ueces.-aty iuipluiueuts and equipments were furaiahad t>y the State to the aruliery regiment of ibu litaerve Corps. Ten of these wero furnished by the State,and their cost has beeu refuuded ly the United States. Diligence lus been used iu collecting aims throughout the State and repairiug uud alter ing them in the most unproved uuoutr. VQL. 35. M 3. 'J be Stite has now 62 pui.-cs of artillery, of which 17 need repairs, 26,753 muskets and rifle*, somo of which are in the hands of mechanics being re paired, 1910 are in the hands of vol uo e*r corps throughout the State; 1930 in the possession of County Com missioners, and 1,000 with tha reserve corps of Philadelphia. • In addition to this tha city of Philadelphia 9 pieces of rifled artillery, and 4.976 muskets ami rifles. 1 he citttte has also in the arsenal at Harris* burg 1 966 sabres and swords, and 1,957 pistols; and the city of Phil*, has 440 sabres, and 026 pistols with the necessary accoutre ments. 1 here is also in the Arsenal at Harrisburg a large amount of accoutrements and ammuni tion tor artillery and small arms. rile Adjutant General is successfully en gaged in collecting arms throughout the State, and it is expected that the number above stat ed wiil bo largely increased. Probably, at •a .st, 5, £ 00 muskets and rifles and several pieces of artillery will s ill be ooilected. Ine one vwiiuh has beea bestowed upon the comfort of the volunteers, and the goodness and siilficieuey of tbeir supplies Of ail kinds, and ma excellent arrangements of the Medical Deym tuieut under the control of Surgeon Gen eral Henry 11. Smith, are proved by the fact tDtt more than 6U,000 men have been for va* nous, geuerdly short peri- .Is at Gamp Curtiu since toe 19th of April last, and that down to ihe Ist -January iust. taere died but fortv-ni> i meu at thai camp, viz., forty-four from ,fck ueoa, two (belonging to regiments horn oth r iiatee,) who had been injured ou railroads, two accidentally killed in Camp Curiin and on* shot in llai i isourg. To iaeiiiuie the making of allotments of their puy by our voiuntcors in the held for the support tu ♦tour families at home,! appointed *l°"' %wau, Xaouias JB. Franklin and U. HuioaaTpLl ti,., commissioners tD'Vwii the camps ot oar men on and south of th§_ Poto mac, and also James Park and M. VV.Beltz h'jovei, iu-qs., - comaiis-ioners to vi*it tbo camps of our men iu Kentucky and elsewhere in the western country, to calf the attention of the troops io the system of allot meat and to encourage them iu adopting a practical piaa for carrying it into efLct. Abe several reports of these commissioners are highly satisfactory. For details oa the several subjects connec* ed with the military operations of th ; s StHte, ; 1 refer to the reports of the A -jutant General, Surgeon General, Quarter Masier General, Commissary General and Paymaster General which accompany ibis .Message. The duties imposed oa tue wero so onerous that I touni it necessary to invite the temporary assistance of gentlemen oa my staff to aid ma lo perfo-m them. In this oup'.oily, Cols. Tboma* A. Soott, Gideoo J Sail, and John A Wright contrbuted thtir valuable services from the middle of April until *bey were called away by other duties. Go). Scott remained until he became oonnect ed wish the War Department, Col- Ball ntitil the Ist of June and Col. Wright uuiil the 23d of July; for the time thus devoted to tbe ecr vieo of the Stare they have iefused to receive any compensation. Cols. Joseph D. Potts, A. L. Russell, J. Brown Parker and Craig Biddle were in ser vice op to the 20th of December. Tbe De partment of Telegraph aud Transportation waa under the exolusive control of Col. Potts. The system and economy of its mangement show how faithfully and well he fulfilled his office. It is but just to all these gentlemen that I should bear testimony to ibe untiring zeal and fidelity with which their duties were perform ed. The quota of the State having been more tbau filled, and her military foroe organized, I was enabled on the 20tb of Deo. last, to dis pense with a persoual staff, aud the tempora ry arrangement which had been made for its employment was then closed. By the 13'b section of the Act of the 15th of May, 1361,1 was authorized to draw my warrants on the Treasury for a sum not ex ccecdiug $20,000 for compensation to such persona as might be required to servo the coun try in a military capacity, &o. Or this fund 1 have drawn from the Treasury $8,500, out of which I paid tbe compensation of my per sonal staff, also other expenses of the military departmeut, and tbe actual expenses of persons employed on temporary lervioe, neoe of whom received any further compensation, and expen ses of the eommissioos appointed to investi gate alleged frauds, &e , and the expenses of establishing military patrols on the Maryland line *nd five hundred dollars on secret service. My account is settled in the iffioa of the Au ditor Gen -ral up to tbe Ist of December. On that day 1 had expended $6,400, and except seme inconsiderable payments made since, she balance remains in my hands. 1 he report of the Auditor General will ex hibit the '.turns of the account. An account ot military expenditures by tho Siate un behalf of ihe United States, as far as the same bad then Leeu aseeitaiuod uud settled by the accounting department here, w.,8 nr.do up to the first day of Sepiember, 1861, aud presented on the 12th of that month ut the Tita,.ury Dep-aituieut of the Unite#! States for settlement and allowance. The sum of $006,000, has bctu received from the Treasury lbpuitmrnt on that account. The repayment by iho General Government of the' expenses attending the organization ami sup poit of the Reserve Corps, may not be piu ttded tor by suy of Congress.
