We remained in Rome six days—till Fii

convince us that we might stay six months
or even years. and not explore all the imen st

say, that it is improperly called "the Eternal

columns new and old, monuments, &c..
each and all claimed and received our atlet
lion by turns—of which I cannot Dow spear
particularly.
Au amusing incident marke?l my departur
from the Papal city. Every one leavio t
Rome must get his passport rifled previous',
by the Superintendent of Police. I got int,.•
host of the flood d Angleterre to attend r
this for mc, and on sooting received my a
1 thought) p.ssport, and paid? fumes for to
vise. When 1 had boug,ht my ticket Mr N..
pies, and gave up, as is required, the passpoi
until we should :olive at the Frontier, 1. sa‘•
by a glance that it was not my pas-put.
Not wishing, to be detained, I Eat l nothing t

trontier the passport was rout ned to me, an
nothing said about a mistake—only 6 franc
were demanded for the vise; it scented tin,
the passport had not been steed at How
I paid the artney, and then was curious t ,
know how the description of the passput
would suit - my case. So I opened it, an
read thus: "Age--Go years (!), eyes blue
hair light—slightly gray - (:), and below w
the "Signature : *PETER Rtcn kED Knstunct,

was traveling as the Archbbiliop of S

day before! But as I got alou 4 as well as i
I had my own, and had become an .trchbisl

Waled myself, and enjoyed, with others
whom 1 told the secret, the fun of the thin,.
On arriving at Naples, I sent the Archhisit
op's pass to Dr. McCloskey, explaining tit•
mistake, and while thew received mine:agait.
by mail—and hope the Archbishop got alot,.
as well as I did. Dr. McCloskey is one of tin
most genial men I ever met and seemed to
not &lime to us, but to his students and to ail
about him ; and our enjoyment of Rome if•
greatly due to his kindness. . .
At Naples I attended Presbyterian chum !

shall I say of the silent city—so suddenly be
reft of all its life—brought to utter desolation
in a moment I We walked through the

Au hour before reaching Naples we could
see the burning mountain Alm afar. But the
first good opporiunity, we came near, to see
this wondrous sight. On Mouday we made
the ascent. And now the cold of St. Betnard
has become intense heat, and the rivers of ice

Oil t. it way to the foot of the mountain, we
walked over the vast beds of lava poured out
in 1858, t•till smoking ; and saw that of 1861
and other yeasts. It iooked just like melted
iron pouted out and coiled—clack and deso
late. After lung walks over such material,
we came to the fresh streams pouring down
!rum the summit, and making a !wise like
rolling cinders scraping together. We sat
beneath the :steam till it chased us—great
tsdls, red hut, istiliag by. We cooked eggs
in the lava and ate our lunch. Then, leaving
the ladies of the company, and their gentle
man compaulon, C-- aud I, with a guide,
commenced the ascent. We went between
the streams f file, walking in ashes and sco
ria up a steep and hard ascent. The smoke
blew iu our faces, and the sulphur, and C—
became intensely thitsty. I sat (limp once,
and fi:lt the mountain shake under me. On
we went till we came to the border of the

e%ery few moments a ttemendous buratw ,uld
occur. and fire stuns fell thundering into the

,round us. We did not stay long. It was L

than the eruption of Vesuvius to crown out

Our country has just emerged from the trials
and dangers of au unrighteous rebellion and
entered upon a period of important political
struggle arising therein:3m. Being convened
as the representatives of a confiding conatitu
ency grave duties devolve upon you to so
legislate upon the great and manifold inter
est+ committed to your charge as best to sub
set ve the welfare of the pc.-t9le and advauci
the honor of the State. The fullest conti
deuce is entertained that your deliberations
will result beneficially and your public dudes
be faithfully discharged ; and on my part,
permit me to give you assurances of zealou
co-operation in all your labors calculaftd to
promote the general welfare.
One of the-most important duties devolv
ing upon the Legislature is the consideration
of the public finances Stich action should
be taken for the provision of funds to defra)
the current expenses of the Government, the
preservation of the credit of the Common
wealth, and the speedy extinguishment of the
public debt, as circumstances shall be found
to require. These objects are of the highesi
importance, and claim the first attention oi
Representatives of the people.

ot the financial administration of the State du

it•lature, including the Sinking Fund, pay

interest to the general reader. The finance:
of the State are in a healthy condition. The
debt on the aUth of November, 1866, was $35,

334.766,481.22—5h0wing a reduction duri4

1890, when one million of the residue shall fah
due, and one million annually thereafter, with
,ifit interest, until the whole is paid, which
mill be in the year 1895.
By the act of March 7, 1861, the i.!3,500,

oad were surrendered tt that company, upot:
he deposit of four millions of dollen of their
otitis as eullatetal security for the payment
.f the original bonds, and a mortsage of fow
['nuns of dollars was also given by the corn
'any to secure their payment. These bonds
,re to be paid in forty years from date of issue,
md will mature A. b. Ilan.
In April last, in accordance with the act of
ast session, the Governor advertised for s
min of $23,u1 . 0,000.00, to meet the over-dui
kinds of the State. The • ntire loan was
oromptly taken by citizens of the State, (the
nils being for upwards of $33,000,1X , 0.00,) iu
dealing the popular confidence in the. gout.
aitli and substantial credit of the Common
sealth.
l'he Governor draws attention to the lug
miance otrried forward in the State Treasury
ruin time to time, after amounting to one and
wo millions of dollars, and the insufficiency

.y and incorruptible honesty of the State
Treasurers. He reci.mmends that provision

:arge balance in State or National Stocks,
.v hereby the State would realize from $ I00,1)00

;Lidice to the' Treasury—that the Treasurer s
}crud be increased; as also his salary, now

The report of the Superintendent of the
Common Schools exhibit- a full view of our
excellent system of public instruction, which
is widely diffusing its blessings by securing a
.ound and substantial education to all the
atildren of the State. A brief summary will
;ive an Idea of the immense pmportiousit has
maimed, and the vast SWAM of usefufness of
.vhich it is capable.

Your attention is particularly invited to the
want of uniformit and constant change ot
nooks in the pob c schools. These are mat
t
ters of salons I convenience and needless ex •
pause to the pOor, and might easily be re
inedied by judicious legislation.
The clueraint of our system of common
schools is/h) place the advantages of an alum
don within the reach of all the children of the
amunpnwealth ; and when it is considered
that intelligence and virtue are the principal
:antiwar& of our free institutions, this system
estnestly claims the fostering care and wise
guidance of the Legislature. '
The graded schools have largely increased
luring the pastiyear. The system established
by the :gide was designed, not only to furnish
Instruction to our youth in the dements or
rcnowledge, but Wherever practicable, to im
part to them an education in the higher
',ranches of learning. The multiplication of
gam titer and high schools should, thermore,
repelim every encouragement, for they are
decessary to perlbcl the system and enable the
State to avail itself of that talent which is born
to the cottages of the pour quite as frequently
as in the palaces of the rich.
(loud schools canna exist without good
teachers, and good teachers, can only be
dawned by using the proper means to prepare

A revision of the Militia laws of the State it
recommended, by ado r tiog a liberal and ef
fective system for increasing and regulating
the volunteer militia. The minimum of men
necessary to form a company under the pre
sent law is too high, and in many places
where smaller companies could be raised it is
impossible to raise them in aceoidance with
ihe ratio of she present act There are now
but 38 uniformed companies i- the State, with
about 3,000 men.

memory of that gallant soldier.
HISTORY.
In 1864 the Legislature made an appropria
tion for the purpose of having prepared and
published a complete history or the military
operations of the State fu reference to the late
war. My predecessor appointed Samuel P.
Bates, Esq., for the purpose of consummating'
the provisions of that act, who proceeded to
collect the necessary materials and to prose
cute the work.
Although the country has again been re
stored to peace, the people continue to feel al
