I cannot omit f to Rcknowledgo, with profound grati tude, tho kind, considerate and affec tionate course w hich you pursued du- ? ring my constrained absence. A heavy addition has been thus made to the s dobt which I already owed to the pco- iloofthe Commonwealth and their iepresentatives. I The bal. in tho Treasury, Nov.

J , In my message to tho Legislature at its opening, I recommended tho imniediato organization, disciplining and arming of at least fifteen reg munta, cxclusivo of those called into tho service of tho United States. Tho Legislature acted prompth upon this suggestion, and mado full provision for its effectual accomplish ment. Tho result was the early and completo organization, clothing equip ping and equipment of tho Pennsyl vania llcservc volunteer corps, with its thirteen regiment of infuntrj-, one of light artillery, and ono of cavalry, under tho supervision of George A. M'Call, w ho was selected to command it, with tho commission and rank of Major General. This corns contained 15,S51 men, and tho whole expense of raising, coming, snbr-isting and pay ing them, until their entry into the United States service, was $55,441 87. They were encamj-cd in different parts of tho State, excepting two of tho regiments, commanded by Colonels Charles j. Biddle and Seneca G. Sim mons, aud two batteries of artillery, under tho command of Colonel Charles T. Campbell, which, at tho request of tho War Department, wcro sent on tho 22d of Juno, 1801, to tho relief of Colonel Wallacc,at Cumborland.Mary land, and remained for about six weeks ihere, and in Western Virginia, en gaged in active operations. Towards tho close of July the whole corps was called for and taken, on n requisition, into the sen ice of tho United States. Within four days after tho disaster at Bull I'un, eleven regiments, in nil re spects ready for active service, were in Washington and Baltimore. The troops sent to West Virginia wero re-called, and with the other two regiments of tho corps, forwarded to Washington. On tho 20th of July, 1801, the Sec rotary of War expressed his gratifi cation and thanks for the prompt re sponse from Pennsylvania. Tho wisdom of tho Legislature in providing for tho formation of this corns, for the Interests of tho State and nation, was fully shown by sub sequent events. Most of tho men who filled its ranks had been accepted by mo under tho call for twenty-five reg iments, which was afterwards rescind ed. , They had left their families and homes under the deep senso of duty to theirconntry.nnd to havo sent them back unaccepted would have caused serious difficulty in making future en lisitmenU. By net of Congress of 22-1 and 25th of July, ls1, tho President wns au thorized to call upon the several States for volunteers to serve for three years. Under this authority requisitions, were mado on (his State, and fourteen reg iments wero promptly furnished. In tho meantime aiitliorilies bad been granted by the President and tho War Department to a number of individu als to raiso regiments in different parts of tho State, w hich seriously interfer ed with tl.o. notion of theStatennthor itits in filling requisitions regularly mndo under tl. acta of Congress.

On my jnggestlon, the policy con solidating our reduced rcginionts,and filling them np b tho assignment of new companies was adopted, and in 18C5,under this sj-st em. besides organ izing threo entire new regiments, seventy-five companies were assigned to reduced regiments, by which they wero again filled to the regimental standard. Theso threo new regiments and seventy five companies, with vol unteer recruits for regiments in the field, reported by the superintendents of that service, amounted, in tho ag gregate, to 25,790 men for this year. In tho month of September, 18G2, after the second disaster at Dull Hun, it becamo evident lint the enemy bad adopted an aggressive policy ,and was about to invade tho Northern States through Maryland and the southern border of Pennsylvania. Under tho sanction of the President of tho Uni ted States, on tho 11th day of that month, I issued my proc!mHtion,caIl ing into immediate service fiAy thous and of the freemen of this Stato.

Tho details of tho services of the militia on theso occasions, as well asj the generous assistance rendered by the militia of the States of Now York: and Now Jersey, have been fully rco ognized in previous messages. cting under orders, they did not hesitate to cros the Stato lino and enter Ohio and Western Virginia, in the west ; and in the oast.they defend ed tho lino of .the Susquehanna, wcro at Gettysburg befor the -advance of the Army of tho Potomac, defended Carlisle successfully when attacked by a superior force, made long marches, patiently Buffering great privations for the want of sufficient means of transportation,crossed into Maryland, w hen ordcred,and attacked tho eneni3 nucccBsfully, and saved tho Capital of their Slate from destruction. When tho history of tho rebellion is truly ' written, no part, w hich relates to Pennsylvania, will reflect more credit on the patiiotism,couragoand fidelity of her people, than their prompt an swer to the call made for military ser vice for domestic protection. It is a record of which tho great body of tho peoplo aro aparty,and of which they may all bo proud. In July, 18G4. a retel army again crossed the Potomac, threatening tho southern bordor,nnd marched to Wash ington. Under the pressing demands of the National authorities, all tho organized troops in Pennsylvania were immedi ately sent forward. Tho rebel army was defeated and driven back. A rebel col umn, of threo thousand men, had, however, crossed the border, and, on tho 30th of July, burned the town of Chambersburg. In my mcssngo of last year, I stated in detail the move ments of the enemy, and tho circum, stances attending tho destruction, of that borough. Although tho peopla of tho southern border suffered much from annual incursions of tho enemy) Chambersburg is the only town entire ly destroyed within our border, and, it is believed, in any loyal Stale. Tho citizens of tho town wero sud denly reduced to poverty, and, for a time, were sustained by the active benevolence of the people of other parts cf the Slate, .aided by an appro priation of one hundred thousand dol lars from tho Commonwealth. They nave su-iiggiou energetically to revivo , fro,n this cal uniity, Lut it is now fear- I cu inai low oi tnem will be able to succeed. I submit, therefore, to tho w isdom of the Legislature, w hether it would not bo proper to extend to that people somo additional relief.
