Owing to their greater destitution and want

orphans of our colored sokhera may require
some special attention. Perhaps authority to
the State 814perintendent, to use, tbr a short
time, the services of an agent, to ascertain their
number and claims, and bring them into the
schools that may lie provided for them, will be
sufficient. The whole number in the State is

Col. James Worrell, continissioner appointed
under an act relating to the passage of fish In

j them, and the reports of the Surveyor General
and Adjutant General.
The Agency at Washington should, in my
judgment, be continued. It has proved very
I useful in all respects, and especially to our vol
unteers and their fyuilies.
Four thousand six hundred and ninety claims
have passed through the Agency during the
past year, and three hundred and eleven thous
, and seven hundred and three dollars have been
collected from the Government and transmitted
to the elainuuds free of charge.
It will he necessary to continue the office of
Chief of Transportation, as there aro unsettled

Which require it. An additional appropria

earnestly recommend, in justice to the

Arsenal.
It is too small—unsafe as a deposna. f . filr the
large amount of valuable military material to be
kept in it, and is, in all respects, incßnyeniens
and not adapted to its purposes.
Much inconvenience was experianeed during
the war for want of sufficient room and safety,
and I recommend that ground be procured and
a new and commodious arsenal be erected in or
near the Capital of the State.
.Since the adjournment of the Legislature I
drew Inv warrant 911 the Treasury for dye
thousand dollars. appropriated to the Nation;}
Cemetery at Antietam, and appointed Major
General Jno. R. Brook, trustee to represent the
, fiitate. Before the warrant tams ijrawn I ap
punted Colonel Wm. H. Ilittii And Captain J.
Linn, who examined W ground and
made a full investigation. their report of which
accompanies this message. It will noticed
that they report seven hundred and.nino_ ser _
en bodies of Pennsylvanians that will \c re
moved into the cemetery. and recommenct an
additional appropriation, in which I most co,.
diahy unite.
I I cannot close my :ast Annual Message, with
out renewing the expression of my gratitude to
the freemen of the Commonwealth, for the
hearty approval with which they have cheered
the labibta of the Executive Office. To have
earned such approval by my official condnet,
during the last six years, must always be a
source of pride to myself and children. With
out the consciousness that I was endeavoring
to deserve their approval, and without the hope
that I should succeed in attaining it, I must
have stink nudes the responsibilities of my po
sition. It was only a reliance on Divine Pro
vidence, arid the active, resolute, hearty sup
port and seal at the people, and their represen
tatives, that encouraged ma during the dark and
terrible crisis through which the country has
passed. I tried to an my duty to my country,
and I know that I was at least faithful to her 41
her deep distress'. and I coneeived that duty pot
to be limited to the merely putting of men into
the field to suppress treason and rebellion, and
maintain the national life, and doing of every-'
thing iq my power to sustain the just war
forced upon ns. I felt also bound, so far as I
could. to protect and promote the rights and
comforts of our volunteers. after they had left
the State, to aid and relieve the sick and
wounded, and to care for the transmission, to
their bereaved families, of the precious bodies
of the slain, and the maintenance and educa
tion of their orphans as honored children of
the country.
To have been the Chief Magistrate of this
great ' Commonwealth, during the period
through which we have just passed. and to
have earned and maintained (if indeed I have
done so) the eonfidenee and affection of her
people and ascir representatives. are Mite
enough to satin fY the highest ambition, and in

"My uniform course during Ric late

OilFtin's aspirations to a seat in e the

pda somersault. A radical course only
leave him a chance of election, and
he takes to it as ardently as oven Mad :
Stevens cotdd desire him to do, He de
clares himielf in favor of forcing negro
suffrage on all the States, Pennsylvania
inelstled, when he avows that he sees no
objection to reducing the representation
of any State which refuses to allow ne
groes to vote. Ile declares that three
fourths of the States represented In Coa
gressiirp sufficient to pass upon any con
stitutional amendment; that's majority
of Congress have a right to determine
whatBtates shall be represented therein ;
that the States recently in rebellion have
no existence as Stites in the Union ;
that they have no valid S:ate goveror
ments ; that CiMgresa blintlid regard them
as terdtories, and refuse to admit them
into the Union until they comply with
all the demands of an insolent Radical
majority. All this Governor Curtin man
ages to say in a style that is peculiikr to
himself, but he means that it shall be
quite satisfactory to the Radicals,—
Whether he has hit the "nail on the
' head," will be seen on the 15th pf the
present month, when the election for
United States Senator will take place,
The message lain several other reattach'

There is a universal demand
throughout the country for a reduction
of taxation. The manufacturers who
made such fortunes during the war are
particularly clamorous, and with good
reason, for they are suffering now as they

we quote the following words from the

The now unrepresented States should be

one-horse wagon, for the loan of a scald

at a brisk trot on his return. The noise
made by the trough bouncing on the wa<

away;-rapidly rounding a corner in
the lane, the wagon was up-set, and Mr.

lighting upon his head, with the trough
upon him. He was rendered Insensible
for some time, and his recovery is yet a
matter of much doubt.
