Governor's Message.
\\ e issued this document in an Ex
tra on Saturday morning, together
with sundry proceedings in the Senate
ot this State, by which our readers
can judge of the factious opposition
made to legislation by the copperheads
in that body. The Governor recom
mends many important measures for
the consideration of the two houses,
and every man liable to draft ought to
remeinhf-r for years to come that every
hour th;e demagogues consume in de
laying legislation on is in
creasing his chances to'b;e dratted—
that delay in passing a proper militia
law may again endanger the property
of our citizens, and that the taxpay
ers have to foot the hill of this blue
light move at the rate of a thousand
dollars a day.
Upon a careful examination of the official
reci'fd, we find him (Mr Halo) voting, true
as the nepJle to the pole, invariably with the
ultra Abolitionists on every test question
lie seems to have about as much regard for
the 8.000 democrats who voted for him, as he
for an equal number of Kamtchatkans
Thank fortune and Berks county principles,
we were not of the deluded.— Lock Haven
Democrat. #
How do you know that tho B,OCO
democrats desire Mr. Halo to vote with
Wood of Xevv York for a cowardly
peace, with Ancona, Stiles, Miller and
other tories to embarrass tho govern
ment, or with Cox, ot Ohio to drive
colored meu from enlisting and thus
compel white men to enter the army?
Mr. Hale's course may not please sun
dry copperheads who voted for him.
but truo Union men have little fault to
find with his course.
1 hat's a fact—we received as much salary
in on year as the editor of the Gazette dues
in three or four, vet we were not able to buv
even one, much less tico extra presses lie
however, in the few years he has been'clerkj
has bought not only an Adams Power Press
and a Newbury Jobber, but a house and lot
besides!!
Yes, and we bought and paid for a
house costing more than the second
one and both presses together before
ice. had a clerkship, but we didn't keep
half a dozen turkeys and sixty chick
ens in a pen when corn was over a dol
lar a bushel. Your covert inuendo
' therefore don't bit the mark, and still
leaves the public in the dark as to
what became of the five thousand four
hundred dollars received in four years
besides the profits of the Patent Dem
ocrat !
—The Washington Chronicle states
that it has good authority for believ
ing that the question of an exchange
of prisoners has been committed en
tirely to General Butler, and the rebel
prisoners to his charge. It predicts
an early resumption of exchanges.
—We have received the first number
of a new paper published at Baldwin
eit}*, Douglas county, Kansas, called
the Kansas Home Circle. It is edited
and published by Messrs. Emery and
Mount, two of the principals of the
Kansas Deaf-Muto Institute, at 82 per
annum, and will prove an interesting
sheet. Our citizens will remember
Mr. Mount as the son-in-law of Mrs.
Kerr of this place
A Record of Toryism.
The history of the present war will
furnish more instances of blue-light
toryism than any other that has pro
bably ever occurred, and when once
over will consign more individuals to
merited contempt and infamy than anj*
other political acts over conceived by
the unprincipled demagogues who hide
their constructive treason under the
cioak of democracy. When the rebels
last summer were within sight of Har
risburg the controlling spirits assem
bled there to nominate a Governor
had not a word to say against the in
vaders of our State, though they did
not hesitate to fulminate their tory
falsehoods against both National and
State Governments. In this we were
not disappointed, for their nominee
was well known as a panderer to the
Southern Slave power; nor were we
disappointed when McClellan pomp
ously announced that Woodward and
himself " cordially agreed," for from
the day he asked the President to
leave Washington totally defenceless
by giving him all the troops in front
of it, —an act which most assuredly
would have resulted in its capture and
pillage by the rebels—we always be
lieved '■ the game" was to patch up a
peace with the rebel leaders, and thus
preserve Slavery and Slave Power,
which may truly be said to be the cor
ner stone of that "democracy" foster
ed under the infamous administration
of James Buchanan and his cabinet of
traitors. These ends however were
defeated, either by the foresight and j
firmness of President Lincoln, or by !
an overruling Providence. Since then, 1
events have been hastening onward, J
and no man in his senses car now doubt
the success of our arms, and the total I
overthrow of Bebeldom.
But warning upon warning rooms to
have no effect upon the leaders of the
so-called and self-styled democracy,
and instead of bending their energies
to wards defeating the re bels, th ey su tie r
no opportunity topass to put themselves
in that position best calculated to benefit
the rebels and injure our government. As
an instance of this we have sixteen
senate rs calling themselves "loyal men"
who, since the second Tuesday of Jan
uary, have set themselves up in factious
opposition to the-State Government,
not for right, or principle, but that
some locol'oco minion may be clerk,
another doorkeeper, and a few others
folders and pasters! They know that
the Union men have a majority, but
one of them being purposely withheld
as a prisoner in Richmond, sooner than
go on with legislation under the Speak
er elected at the close of last session,
they vote against the soldier enjoying
the right of suffrage, against giving
thanks to Meade and his gallant army,
and against ever} thing else that is
offered, and are thus robbing the tax
payers cf at least a thousand dollars
a day. It is worthy of record that in
a similar case in this State, in a time
of peace, when Buckalew was absent,
a whig senator gave them a speaker
and principal officers, and in another
State a few years ago the Republican
members did the same It is however
reserved for a set of men elected as
democrats, in a time of war . when all
is at stake, to make a tory record as
enduring as that of the revolution. It
is almost unnecessary to add that the
piece of democratic machinery who
misrepresents this district, is one of
them.

—Our notice of the fact—for fact it
15 that thus far tho only persons
prosecuted for frauds at the recent
military examination at Mifflintown
were patent democrats of the tory
stripe, is not palatable to the Mifflin
town Democrat, which paper had in
the main endeavored to put the odium
on certain republicans whom it is well
known that paper cordially hates. We
only noted a tact; if the republicans
spoken ot are guilty, let them be pros
ecuted. and if tound so punished.
Message of the GJV. of Maine.
Ai ousr.A, Me., Jan. <. —The niessageof
Governor Cony, which was delivered to
the Legislature of this State to day, is a
plain and practical document fie recom
mends an increased State tax. and the pas
sage of an effective militia law, and cJls
attention to the education interests, espe
eialiy to the agricultural colleges.' He
recommends the appointment of a commis
sion to classify the public lands, and thinks
that the practice of granting lands in par
cels is injurious. Calling attention to the
existing laws relative to capital punishment,
lie sa\s ttint twelve convicts are now in the
State prison under the penalty of death,
and the ciime of murder is alarmingly
increasing. He recommends a law making
it imperative on the Executive to issue
death warrants upon the expiration of the
year of grace, lie recommends tliat the
soldiers in the field be allowed the right of
suffrage. Further legislation is deemed
necessary relative to the reciprocity treaty,
ihe benefits of which are all on the side of
the provincials. The dream of trade is
over, and the treatv has signally failed in
eliciting the good feeling of our territorial
neighbors. He conceives that a railroad
to the north-eastern froutier is necessary,
as a means of defence. The reconstruc
tion of such a road can only be accomplish
ed by a combination of private enterprise
and public aid, either State or national.
Some more speedy means of communication
should be devised to reach our Eastern
frontier, near Calais.
The Governor thoroughly endorses the
emancipation proclamation.
Message of the Governor of Maryland
BALTIMORE, Jan. 7. —Governor Brad
ford's message was transmitted to the
Legislature to-day. The finances of
the State are in a prosperous condi
tion.
At the end of the year just closed,
the gratifying result of ail "the treasu
ry operations is, that with no new
debt contracted, with more than
& 100,000 of the old debt extinguished,
and upwards of 3371,000 paid to the
General Government, there is a balance
on hand of more than one million of
dollars, exclusive of cash to the credit
ot the Sinking Fund. He recommends
making a pension for the soldiers of
the State, in the way of aiding the
families of volunteers or drafted men
He recommend a thorough revision of
the militia law of the State.
Ilef'e rring to the subject of a Consti
tutional Convention, lie says, with re
ference to the question of emancipation,
'•I believe to-day, as 1 have done for
years, that if we had long ago provided
for tiie gradual emancipation of the
slaves of the State we should now be,
as regards all the material elements
of public prosperity, far in advance
of our present position. The products
of our State and its natural resources
are not such as are adapted to, or can
be developed by slave labor. I am
satisfied that the people of this State,
in their moments of calm and deliber
ate reflection, long since came to the
same conclusion. When the conspir
ing leaders at the South lifted their
hands against the Union, and pointed
to slavery as the institution upon which
their visionary Republic was to rest,
they struck a blow at its vitals in
every border of the State, under which
it has continued to languish,and which
must inevitably result in its ultimate
destruction. It becomes us, therefore,
to whom the whole question rightfully
belongs, to take immediate measures
for its removal, which should be no
longer delayed than may bo required
by a proper respect for those industrial
pursuits with which the institution
has been so long and so intimately
interwoven, and a humane regard for
the slave himself, which forbids us t(
cast him, all unprepared for so great a
change, too suddenly upon his feeble
resources."
The Governer reiterates his objection
to the m; nner in which the enlistment
of slaves has been conducted in the
State, and to military interference
with the elections.
Governor Seymour's Message—A Peace
Document.
ALBANY, Jan. s.—The Legislature
met and organized this morning, the
Republican officers being elected in
both houses.
The Governor's message was read.
After referring to State topics, he de
votes a portion of bis message to the
consideration of military matters in
connection with the draft, etc. lie
goes into the consideration of national
affairs at length, and after asking what
has been accomplished by the Govern
ment in the territory wfested frdflh
rebellion, says: "But one course will
save us from national ruin. We must
adhere to the solemn pledges made by
our Government at the outset of the
war. We must seek to restore the
Union, and uphold the Constitution.
To this end, while we put forth every
exertion to beat down armed rebellion,
we must use every influence of wise
statesmanship to bring back the States
who now reject their constitutional
obligations. We must put forth every
honorable inducement to the people of
the South to assume again the rights
and duties of American citizenship.
We have reached that point in the his
tory of the war for which all have
struggled. Wo now stand before the
world a great and successful military
power. Wise statesmanship can now
bring this war to a close upon the
tetms solemnly avowed at the outset.
Good faith to the public creditors, to
all classes of citizens and to the world,
demands that this should be done. The
triumphs won by our soldiers should
be followed up and secured by the
peace-making policy of the statesmen
in the Cabinet. In no other way can
we save the Union.'
e suppose the wise statesmanship
means peace at any price with the
rebels.

The late Bebel Demonstrations in West
Virginia.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 11.—Xo lit
tle excitement has been caused here during
the past few days, by the reports from
. Western \ irginia, not in cinles where the
entire falsity of wilful exaggeration was
: known, but among the public generally,
| whose ignorance of the true condition of
affairs naturally induced them to varnish
the statements of the sensation papers of
New \ork. The Herald's dispatch, for
; instance, dated Cumberland, January Bth,
was written some days previous; and was
it is understood, refused transmission over
the wires from Washington, its untruths
j being so palpable. The enterprising cor
i respondent, however, was not to be thus
i checked, and the dispatch was placed in
the Baltimore office on Friday afternoon,
and on the f. Mowing morning was pub
lished in the paper to which it was addres
sed, and from its columns sent over the
country by the Associated Press.
In the early part of last week Peters
burg and vicinity were threatened by the
eueuiy, but not only was Cumberland not
occupied or in danger, but no rebel in
arms has been within twelve miles of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad for the past
month. The wagon train said to have
been captured on Thursday really fell into
the hands of the enemy on Sunday last,
and the scene of the exploit was about
thirty miles from Cumberland. Some
days ago when the military authorities had
become somewhat alarmed by the rumored
approach of the rebels, the general com
manding gave orders for one of the trains
from the West to return to Wheeling; but
on no other occasion since the reopenin"
of the road has the travel upon the Balti
more and Ohio railroad been in the slight
est degree interrupted, and we learn, upon
the best authority, that the troops are so
admirably distributed along its length that
all attempts at raiding wili prove futiie
Although these false statements doubt
less injure the road, the passenger and
freight traffic is very profitable aud satis
factory.
Captain Blackford, who was killed a few
days since in the Shenandoah Valley, has
been a guerilla commander almost since
the war began. He lived upon his farm
about four miles from Charleston, in Jeffer
son county, and formerly prided himself
greatly upon the fleetness of his steed, not
unfrequently when Gen. Banks exercised
temporary sway in the valley, placing him
self in such positions that the speed of his
animal alone saved him from capture. He
was much respected in the section in which
he resided, but was an unscrupulous lead
er of a no less unscrupulous band of guer
rillas.

NEW \ ORK, Jan. 6.—The steamer Ya

31st ult., has arrived. The following is
the latest intelligence ,
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 31 —Another se
cret expedition left here yesterday. Its
strength and destination are not known.
Little doubt is entertained that it is event
ually destined to operate against Mobile.
For the present it is supposed that Pasca
sronla will be occupied, an intrenched camp
formed, and preparations made for an ad
vance on Mobile as soon as the rainy season
is over.
I 1 or three days it has rained terriflcally.
On Sunday morning the city was submerg
ed to a depth averaging from one to two feet.
1 Lis lasted near the river for several hours,
and back towards the swamps the strefets
are still under water.
Theie is nothing from the front. The
army is still encamped and all is quiet.
The latest advices from Texas represent
nothing new. Gov. Hamilton is said to be
in New Orleans.
On the 18th theories of Captain Mont
gomery, of the Ist Texas Cavalry, a Union
officer, who was captured and hung by the
rebels, were picked up and interred in
fort Brown, in the presence of all our
troops in Brownsville, and a large concourse
of citizens.
Gen. Dana, commanding the 13th Corps,
and Gov. Hamilton were present. Gov.
Hamilton made a thrilling speech. The
loyal Texans have taken an oath of ven
geance on his murderers.
Recruiting is rapidly going on. Refu
gees are continually coming into Browns
ville, and all join the army. All the citi
zens that remain there have taken the oath
of allegiance, and are loyal. AH others
are forced to cross the Rio Grande into

A Nation of Pigmies.
In the Bay ot Bengal, on the very hiili
road of commerce, is a group of islands
thickly covered with impenetrable jungle,
and swarming with leeches in the rainy,
and ticks in the dry season. Except a
species of pig, until recently unknown to
science, there are no wild animals that ot
j fer any uioiestatior to man; but to make
up for this deficiency, the human inhabi
tants are among the most savage and Fios
| tile that voyagers have ever encountered.
They may truly be termed a nation of pig
mies, being on an average only tour feet five
inches high, and weighing from seventy to
j seventy five pounds; but they aio well pro
j portioned, and display an agility and nitu
j bleness truly wonderful. Their skin is
! dark, though not a- bh.ck as that of the
negro, and their facps decidedly ugly. They
| go entirely naked, shave the hair off their
head with pieces of bamboo or broken bot
, tie, and furtli er increase their unsightly
appearance by daubing themselves ali ever
with a mixture of red ochre and oil; or
covering their persons towards nightfall
with a thick coating of soft mud, to serve
as a protection against uiusquitos.
