The Inactiv ity in military allairs alter tno cessa tion of hostilities nnd upon tho return of peace, has In a great measure been uispcucd, and an aclivo martial spirit now prevails throughout tlio Btato ; moro particularly in Philadelphia, whero, by a epocial legislative enact' meat, the minimum number of men re quired to form a company has been re duced. and a brigade-fund is raised by a tax upon tnoso who aro not memuers of u'milltary organization, but liable to tno pcriormancu oi mi itarv duty, l recommend the passage of a similar law for tho whole State. For tho sake of preserving tho great interests In volved, which inctudu the Jives, prop erty and happiness of our people, this is presented to you as an important iiiu- Ject for your deliberation. l-jvery possiuio encouragement ot vol unteers has been afforded, nnd notwith standing tho difficulties Indicated It has resulted ns follows: In 1SC0 thero were eight volunteer companies in tlio State in itiuT.uurty-eignt : and in lsus.seveu ty-soven, ana a uumuer oi others in preparation for organization. By a reduction of tho number for company from that now required to an aggregate of fifty oillcers and men, companies would soon bo numbered by the hundred, nnv or wh ch cou a easi v bo recruited to tho maxitim number if reuuired for active service Tho Stat th.it always maintains tho highest de gree of preparation, accomplishes most and sutlers least in thoconlllct of arms and by being iu readiness it often pre vents improper enroaenmunts upon ner rights.

HTATE AGENCY. Tlio existence of tlio Military Stato Agency at Washington terminated on tho 3lst day of July last, at which time tho appropriation for tho payment of its expenses was exhausted. Jiucn benefit resulted to many oftho f-oldiors oi our state, anu tneir representatives, from this oillce.in which their Just dues from tlio United States Government wero collected and transmitted to them freo of chargo. In August, after tho agency ceased to exist, thero htill re mained a considerable nuniberof unset tled claims, a nil ns no ono knew moro about their condition, or could possibly obtain an earlier settlement of them than tho lato Agent Col. Cook. I per mittcd hlnigiippu Ids own offer, to closo up tlio business of tho office, and to transact any other business lor tno sol diers of Pennsylvniant one half the fees mat nro en irgeu uy any ner private agency in Washington city, this nr ran;;mcnt lias thus far been carried out and I am pleased to xuld, with vor general satisfaction. All tho books and papers of tlio ngency will be transforre to inoomco ot tno Adjutant uoucrai REGISTRY LAW. At tho last session of tliu Legislature an act was passed. known as tlio "Reels- try Law," the intention of which was to protect tho ballot-box ngalnst cor ruption and fraudulent votiug.to which it has, lor many years, been tnsgraeo fully exposed. Tills law seems to hav ueen so de ectlvo iu somo ol Its pro. visions ns to havo received the condem nation of a majority of the Supremo Court, by which it was pronounced "In congruous and unconstitutional." At the election Immediately after this deci sion, it is alleged that frauds wero pro petratcd, surpassing in magnitude, per haps, any that havo been consummated heretofore in tho history of tlio Com monwealth. These frauds havo de monstrated tho necessity of tliu passago ofsomolawor luws that will accom plish tho desired object without being subject to thu exceptlouablo features pointed out by tho learned gentlemen who pronounced thu opinion of tlio Su premo liench. Thero Is no subject of such vital im portance lo tlio whole country ns tho sanctity oftho ballot-box, .aid tho pro tection of all citizens iu their right to tlio elective franchise. This right is our proudest boast. It endows the Ameri can citizen with a freedom and a power not possessed by the subject of any other government. It makes him the peer of Ids fellow man, whatever may buhls rank, station, or position iu life. To bo deprived of it by any means whatev er, Ids boasted freedom becomo a sham Ills especial nnd exalted prerogative a mockery and a Airco. AVhat avulls it to tho citizen that ho is entitled to a voto, if that voto is to bo nullified by fraud? Such guards then should thrown around tho polls as will effectually, if poisiuiu.'preservu inein irom the taint of a slnglo Illegal voto. Not only should false voting bo fcuverely punished, but fulso swearing to obtain a vote, bo visit ed with tho pains and penalties of per jury, and with perpetual disfranchise, meut. ' Tho people must bo perfectly freo to regulate their ptibllv business iu their own way, and when the volco of tho majority is fairly nnd clearly expressed all should bow to It as to tho voice of God. They nro tho sovereign rulers, and their will must bo tlio law of the luud. Corruption ot sull'rngo in a re publican government Is the deadliest crimo that can bo perpetrated ; it Is as sassination of tlio sovereignty of tho peoplo, and will bo followed by a des potism, tho motlvo power of which will bo money nnd peijury. And If this privilego bo tampered with, sooner or later tho suro and Indignant popular couuuiii'iuiioii win uo renuoreu una coudgn punishment administered. All good citizens, of whntovor political opinion, should lend their aid for t-be accumpiisiiiiiuiii oi any ami every mea sure that may tend to secure to each vo ter, not only his right to tlio elective iranchiso, put inu ossuratico that Ms voto will not bo rendered valujless by Illegality, corruption or fraud, livery proper facility for the natural. Izatlon of citizens of foreign birth should be nflbrded ; but I ho Legislature in its combined wisdom, can surely en uct toinu modu to prevent tlio possibill ty of a slnglo voto being cast upon spu rious nalurall.atlon papers, nnd thus fully sccuro tlio purity or the electlvo franchise. UHV1SION OF THE CIVIL CODE, The Commissioners npnoln ted to cod ify thu stntuto lnws of tlio Stnto havo diligently prosecuted tho work assign ed them, and with every prospect that It will bo fully completed within tho time prescribed by tho legislative reso lutions of April 8, 180S; and in further coinptiuucu with them, thoy will cuuso to bo laid before each branch of the General Assembly, at Its present sess ion, various titles of bills, with brief abstracts or tno several sections oi eacn whlch lmvo been matured. INSUltANCE DEPARTMENT. Among tho subjects of importance to tlio citizens of Pennsylvania is tlio es tablishment of an lusuranco Depart ment. Such departments aro in success ful operation iu several neighboring States, by means of which tho interests of .insurers aro guarded and promoted. So careful ti supervision is had over the transactions or lnsuraucocompaniesinat frauds nro rendered almost imposs ible nnd spurious companies can have no oxlstenco. Tho result of the rotection tints uftorded Is, that whilst foreign companies thus protected, do I . 1... .1 , 1 .1.1.

Whilst Pennsylvania Insurance com panies transact llttlu business outside of tlio Stato, it is alleged that foreign life insurance companies nlono paid tax es last year on threo million eight hun dred thousand dollars ot premiums re ceived in Pensylvnnla, a great propor tion of which would be confined to this Stato if the samo protection was given by law to lis citizens ns is niiorueu by other States. Tho report of tho lusur anco Department of Now York, pub lished in 1KU7, snows mat tno compan ies which wero doing business in 1800, in Pennsylvania, and also in New York had risks in force for moro than flvo thousand million of dollars ; and It is believed that tho risks iu Pennsylvania companies, which, for want of a proper lusuranco uepanmeiu, cannot uu uu. tallied, would swell thu amount to over Ms thousand million. lu view ot those lacts.nnu oi tno cost ly experieuco of tlio peoplo who havo been imposed upon and defrauded by unstihstant ainnuepnemerm companies. l repeat tno recommendation innue to tho Legislature nt its last session, that an Iiuuranco Department bo establish ed, and a superintendent appointed uy law, who shall have supervision and control over all insuranco companies al lowed to transact business within tno State, and annually publish, under oath, lull reports ot their transactions, xno community Is deeply interested iu this matter, and demands tno protection which can thus only bo nlfbrded.

STATE COAT OF ARMS, Diligent but unsuccessful search lias been repeatedly mailo for the coat of arms of tho Stato, and for the authority under which tho present do sign was established. It seems that for years u:i-t no trace of either tho origl nal authority or design could anywhere bo found, and it is recommended that tho Legislature take the necessary steps to supply tho omission, by such means as they in their wisdom snail determ ine. STATE BENEFICIARIES. A number of benovolent, charilablo and other similar institutions annual ly receive appropriations from tho Stato lor their support, xnesoappropnniions, in most, If not In nil cases, appear to havo been adequato for tho purposes to which It was intended thoy should bo applied, and areas liberal as can reason ably bo expected In tho present condi tion of tho Treasury of tho State. THE SUSQUEHANNA FISHER IES. A preliminary report on tlio Susfiue- liaiina fisheries has been submitted by Col. James Worrul, Civil Engineer, Commissioner under tho net of tlio Legislature in rcferenco thereto. Thero aro somo facts which should bo embodi ed lu the report, but which cannot bo ascertained until early iu Janua ry. Permission lias therefore been granted lo tho Commissioner, at his re quest, to postpono tho submission of Ids' regular report until tno earnest day practicable during tlio present month. CATTLE DISEASE. Tho prevalenco of contogious or epi demic diseases among cattle and other nnlmals has for' somo years past been a proline source oi anxiety and alarm among tho producers and consumers of meats in many of tho States. It was therefore deemed important to call a convention of competent persons to tako Into consideration tho means bast calculated lo remedy tills great and growing evil. This convention, com posed of threo commissioners, appoint ed in accordance with an agreement by the several Governors, assembled nt Springfield, Illinois, on the llrst of Do- comber last, and an account of their transactions Is herewith presented. Without legislative authority, but be lieving my action would be sanctioned by tho people's representatives, I ap pointed Dr. Hiram Corson nud Messrs, .E. C. Humes nnd A. Royd Hamilton, commissioners to represent Pennsylva nia in that convention. Thcso geutlo men freely gave tholr tlmo and experi ence, ami also Incurred a pecuniary ox perleuso of about threo hundred dollars, to defray which I recommend that an appropriation bo made, STATISTICS. In view of tho vast amount and great variety of tho products of tlio State, n desk for tlio collection of statistics, rel ntlvo to exports and Imports, agricul ture, manufactures, coal, Iron, oil, lum ber, &c, might, witli propriety and profit, be established. Tills could bo accomplished by the employment of a competent clerk, under tno supervision of ono of tlio present heads of depart ment, whoso duty should be to collect and publish such facts ns might tend to stlmulato and increase our productive energies, Instill new life and vigor into our manufacturing interests, nud lead to moro accurate knowlodgo of all our Internal resources and thu proper meth ods for their development.

IN MEMOIUAM. It has been tho misfortune of tho Stato during the past year to loso by death two or her representatives In tlio Con- gros of lho nation, Hon. Thaddous Stovens, of tho Ninth, nnd Hon. Dar win A. Finney, of tho Twentieth dis trict. IJotli wero natives of Vermont. but iu early lifo selected Pennsylvania for tliblr homo, nnd identified thein solves with her interests, which they wero chosoirto guard In tho Legisla ture; and the pcopio oi thocommpn wealth will long remember with grati tude their faithful and eftlciont services. Tho first wont down to his grnvo alter a long iiio ol public uselumcss and in well matured honors ; tho other in tho prune ot mammon, winch gave prom iso of a scarcely less brilliant career. PARDONS. Tlio list of pardons Issued during tho past year will bo found among tho pa- pers to which your attention is called Tho principal reasons upon which thov wero based, mid thu names ol some ol tno prominent petitioners, nro given in every case. That a few of these pardons may navo ueen unworthily granted, through misrepresentations of relatives, friends, sympathizing neighbors and other interested parties, there Is no doubt, but In tlio majority of instances It is certain that tho lacts notoniyjustl (led but demanded Executive clemency The "whole number of applications for pardons during tho year has been six teen hundred and twenty-three. Tho number pf pardons granted iu that tlmo lias been ouu hundred mid six, which is a llttlu over six and a half per cent. Of those pardoned about flvo per ccul.have been again brought before tho courts in consequence of their return to tho com mission of crime. 1 am fully impressed with tlio weigh t.v responsibility oi tno pardoning pow er,which ranks among tho most difficult and embarrassing duties.of tho Execu tive office. Daily beset with powerful nnd pitiful importunities, as well as coninciing representations, irom tnoso in whom ho should be enabled to placo the fullest confidence, in order to avoid errors in tho decision of nny case, tlio uovcruor is compelled to tauc into con sideration tho anion of tho court before which tho convict has been tried : tlio ma esty ot tho law which may or may not havo been violated ; tho condition of tlio prisoner; his temptation to err; tho injury twit may bo mulcted upon his helpless nnd dependent relatives, and tliourgumentsand appeals of citi zens whoso opinions and wishes ho if bound to respect. And however just his decision, and humane and generous hisnction,either Infavoroforagainst tho petitioner for clemency, ho must expect to iiavo his motives impugned, ids name and character maligned, and to sutler virulent attacks for tlio exerciso of this most important and merciful prerog.v tivo. Tho pardon report will exhibit that many instances in which Executivo clemency lias been invoked, youthful prisoners, charged with tneir nrst oi tenses, and thoso of a trivial character have been the recipients. Thoobjoctof punishment, in an cases, suouid not bu so much to inflict pain as to reform tho offender and prevent tho repetition of ovil deeds. This met is irequeutiy lost sight oi tu imposing punishment upon criminals, especially wneu inexperienc ed youths aro shut up in closo cells wit! men hardened in crimo, whero Its arts aro daily (aught and a romanco tiirowr around its commission. Instead of be ing improved, they eotno forth at tho oxpiration of their terms of scntenco with the loss ot sen respect, tneir moral sentiments blunted, and prepared to practico upon society tno luminous les sons thoy have learned. Such punish mcnts tend to increase rather than lessen tho quantity of crime. When bouses of correction and reformatories aro con structud, or a proper system of confine ment ami prison discipline is adopted tnero win uo a material increase crime, and comparatively few cases demand tlio exerciso of lho pardonin power. COMMUTATION OF SENTENCES There are confined in tho Pliiiadel phia county prison tho following name convicts, under scntenco of death, for whoso execution warrants havo not been Issued : Edward Ford, sentenced May 12, 1801 ; Jerry Dixon, May !)0, lbuu; i'atrtcK I'innegnn, i'Cb. ii, ibu;i; Newton Champion, Dec. 1, lBfiO, and Alfred Aloxander and Hester Vaughn, July II, ISO'S. Successive Governors, for witlsfactory reasons, havo declined to order tho execution of theso persons. Tho law requires that they shall bu ex ecuted in nccordanco with tlio sentence, unconditionally pardoned, or held iu close confinement in tho county jail du ring life. The hitter punishment, witli tho additional emblttcrmeiit constantly preying on tho mind thatn death war rant may nt any moment bo Issued, is, perliaps, tho severest tliat could bo In flicted. It would bo both Just and mer ciful to give tlio Governor authority to commute tho scntenco of dcatli iu the nbovo named cases to imprisonment, at labor, In tho penitentiary, for such a term of years as tho ameliorating cir cumstances may seem to justify and de mand. Ono of tho convicts named lias been Imprisoned about eighteen years, and although it might nut bo advisable to set him at liberty, huumnityyuul tho ends of Justice require tho commutation of ids bontonco in tho manner sugges ted. CONCLUSION. Tho foregoing subjects havo been deemed of suillcfeilt Importance to sub mit nt tho present timo for your infor mation and consideration. Others may occur before the closo of tho session which may bo worthy of snecinl com- municatlons. It will bo my constant caro and determination to co-oper.ito with ybu lu tho prosecution of any measures that may tend to prcservo nnd Increase tho prosperity of tho Stnto and tho happiness of its pcopio, with tho firm belief that your united wisdom will aim constantly to promoto theso desirable results. Many of the events which havo tran spired sinco my last annual comifluul cation to tho Legislature havo been un usually interesting nnd significant. Theyitavfl been infinitely moro than political, and bear directly upon tho great interests nnd most sacred destinies of tlio nation. Apart from the vindica tion of tho principles of tlio party which sustained tho Government and the ar my during tlio contest for tho preserva tion of tho Union, and tho election to tho Presidency of tho llrst soldier of inu age, is tno lact that the pcopio have by triumphant majorities, lorover t-et-tied our controversy upon curtain fun danicntul principles. Parties may and undoubtedly will nrlso upon oilier is sues, but there can bo uo future strug gle about slavery. Involuntary servi tude ns a monopoly of labor, Is forovor destroyed. Tho monster obstaclo to the national progress has been removed. and henceforward nil tho faculties of our peoplo can bo doveloped "without let or hindrance." Tlio fair nnd exuli cruntly fertile States of tho South, here tofore comparatively retrogressive and unproductive, rollovod from this terri ble cutso, with tho Influx of northern Immigration nnd capital, will soon be como the rivals of their northern sister States In nil tho arts of pence; and ad ditional inarKcis win uo developed in which to oxchnngo tho varied products of tho heretofore hostile sections. Hardly less magical has been tho ef fect upon other nations. General Grant's election has continued tho holies of our nation's menus, nnu tno lenrs or its iocs In tho Old World. It supplements atid soals tho verdict of arms nnd progress f republican principles. Tim downfall f tho rcbollion in tho United States was quickly followed by tho great civil revolution In England: tho peaceful expulsion of tho last of tho llotirbons from Spain ; lho unrest of Cuba ; tho concession of moro liberal principles In uermany; ami tno necessary acquies cence of tho Emperor of tlio French in the republican sentiments ho fears even ns ho fins betrayed them. What nro these but tho echoes of the dlro cuius tropho that has overwhelmed aristocra cy in tho United States'.' iNuiwithstaiiding tno nnportanco of tho issues Involved in tho Into ennvass. and tho blttorness of feeling as well as tno earnestness with winch it was con ducted, lis termination was happily mot with tho ncutilescenco of nearly tho wliolo pcopio; nnd at no tlmo In tho nisiory oi tno nauou has tnero been opened boforo us a brighter nrnsnent of continued peace and increasing pros perity aim wo iiavo no greater causo for Universal concraf illation thntt that no differences of opinion now exist that can materially mar our national happi ness, retard our onward pi ogress, or threat'in the pcaco and perpetuity of our government. In conclusion permit mo to remark that tho voieo of Pennsylvania, as well that of a majority of the Status, has at tno uauui-uox proclaimed to tno world that ail our national indebtedness, no matter now heavy tno iniriien, will bo paid according to "tho letter and splr- t" oi inu agreements mailo and enter- il in tu thu tlmo thodebt was contract ed, and that in tills us in all other res pects our individual and national hon or "must nnd shall ho preserved;" that wo aro determined by alt honorable means in our power to secure ample neouragement and protection to eacli and every branch ot Homo Industry. and every manly entefprlso thnt con tributes capital, labor, skin and Indus try to our material wealth, social ad vauccment and political trunmiilitv that for nil of our citizens tlio children of tho Commonwealth being also citi zens or the united States, wo demand the fullest protection, in their persons, their property, and in nil their rights nnd privileges wherever they may go within tho national Jurisdiction or in foreign lands; and that whilst our fi nancial policy shall bo such as to main tain uutrnmmcicd our national crcuit. it is to bo hoped that it may at tho same time bs such ns will permit and sanction tno construction ot tno great railways now in progress and stretching out their giant arms to grasp tho migh ty commerce of tho Pacific, to develop the untold resources of wealth in thu intervening territories, nnd to connect tno most distant portions 01 our coun try in a common union, hot only with iron bands, but by tlio still stronger nnd more indiisoliiblo tlesof a common interest and n common brotherhood. To lessen tho burdens of tlio people and to keep tlio expenses of tho Stato ns nearly as possibio wltiiin tho limit; of its absoluto necessities, will alwav; bo among tho chief oblects of wisonnd just legislation. Let us, then, with uuo sciiso 01 our oougations anu nigi responsibilities, endeavor to discharge our duties as to secure tlio greatest good ol tlio community and mcrlttheappro bation of Him by whom our Common wealth has been so abundantly blessed JiSU.

We lay before our readers this wcel; tho Governor's Message, to tliu exclu s!on of much moro interesting matter but wo hold it to bo our duty topublisl all important documents from whatov ersourco they may einanule. Tho Mcssago contains no new points and not ninny facts to which it is ne essary to call attention. His exhibit of the Treasury shows that millions of dol l.trs aru.loft toniccuinulato in tho hand of the Treasurer, who gives noadco.uuto security for tlio same. These immeti amounts instead of being used to pay off our Stato debts, aro kept for specu latlvo purposes, or for thu iiso iif corrupt politicians. Ily tho exhibit of tho Govornor, tli public debt Is still over $03,000,000, and though in tho past eight years (15,000. OOOof roventto iiavo been paid into tho Treasury, only $1,000,000 of tho debt has been cancelled. Whero has the re malutng $01,000,000 gone? Tho (.'onstittition of our Stato ids creates a Sinking Fund for tlioredcnip tlon of tiio public debt, and by an act of tlio Legislature certain specified sources of revenue, aro to bo used for that purpose, and nny misapplication of tlio fund Is to bo visited witli a pen ally of $1,000. Yet sine 1831 thero has been paid into tho Sinking Fund oyer $2.1,000,000, and nt least $21,000,000 of it havo been applied to other purposes I If this fund had been honestly used ou Stato debt would not now oxcecd $15, 090,000, instead of $33,000,000. on which wo pay $2,000,000 Interest annually. The Messago also shows that about $5,000,000 of Stato bonds were cancelled bearing Interest at -1J nnd 5 per cont Inasmuch n3 Pennsylvania has over $25,000,000 af Ponds at six per cent, in terest, why In tho namo of common sense wcro thoy not redeemed y?,thus saving tho Stato tho dtllercneo lu inter est? It looks much llko tho Radical financiering of two years ago, which called lu Stato bonds not due bearing flvo per cent. Interest, In order to issue $25,000,000 of now bond? at slxjier cent. and which aro exempted from taxation whereby the Slato loses over $180,000 per annum. Tho Governor speaks encouragingly of our Military establishment, Consid ering that thoro nro nut n dozen regi ments organized, nnd that our military expenses fur tliepnst year wero $100,000, wo think tlio luxury of military parades can lie dispensed with until our heavy tax burdens nro somowhnt reduced, Tho frequent censures oftho press for tho abuse of tho pardoning power, lias drawn a long dofouso from the Gover. nor. Among tho cases appended Is quo from our county, viz ; .1. Parvln Eves nud Geo. W. M'Ewen. Indicted iu Columbia county Dec. 2, '07 on tlio charge of "Rejecting tho Votoof a Qualified Elector." Pardoned Jan. I. Recommended bv Charles W. Sny der, J. W. Chcmbcrlfn, E. P. Lutz, J. Roblson, Jesso Shnunon, Samuel Knnrr. O. F. lCnnnt). nnd many others. who stato that tho defendants wero Jud ges of election In Greenwood township, mi nctcd in pursuance oi tno net ot mo .legislature disfranchising deserters: nnd thnt they deservo not only protec tion but praisofor their patriotism and fidelity in fulfllllne? their obligations as good citizens. Among tho persons recommending thcso criminals for pardon wo observe tho uames of a, couplo of our County nttornles. How members of tlio legal profession can conscientiously com mend citizens for n wilful violation of tlio iw, passes our comprehension. Tlio Governor mentions tho death of Tliaddctis Stovens nnd other prominent clllitons, but studiously avoids mention ing tho deceaso of Ex-President Uu- chaiian, who mado Geary Governor of Kansas. A studied insult llko this to one of Pennsylvania's most Illustrious sons shows tlio littleness of John Geary. As lho most of our readers will read tho Mes-agc for themselves, wo forbear further comments on 11 for the present. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A DMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE. IX ESTATE OF CUA-IT 11.
