HEADQUARTERS ELRST CORPS, WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 31. To His Excellency, HON. A- G. CCRTIN, Governor of Penn sylvania : SIR:—I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 29th inst,and have re ferred the same to the War Department. I thank you for your kind expression of personal good will, and regret that there should bear.y occasion for hesitation on your part to lend your official influence, as Gover nor, to tne raising of the corps as proposed by the War Department. It is not within my province, perhaps, to discuss the plan of organisation, as I am acting under the direct orders of the War Department, and my own Tiews, therefore, are of no practical moment. I may say, however, that I have no knowledge of the organiza tion other than what I have derived from the orders and circulars of which I mailed you official copies De cember sth. I cannot see how volnnteers for this corps from your State lose any of the advantages attaching to those for other organizations. They are credited to the localities where they or their families are domiciled, and count on the quota * of your State. It should be borne in mind that this is an effort to get men into the service who are not subject to a draft. I have the honor to remain, very respectfully, your obedient sei-vant, WINFIELD 8. HANCOCK. Major General U. S. Volunteers, commanding First Corps. The only act of Congress for raising volunteers that I am aware of. requires that the field and line officers shall he commissioned by the Governors of the sever al States. The men in tills corps are not to be formed into organizations of the respective States, and it is proposed that its officers shall be appointed by the general government. I know of no act cf Congress or of Assembly under which men so raised will be en titled to peßsious or their families to benefits from the United States or State government. In addition I will observe that without auy feeling of jealousy, I am still not ready to participate'actively in transferring to the United States illegally the rightof appointment vested in the State, and which t/ie State authorities can exer cise with more discrimination by reason of havmg a greater familiarity with the merits of the citizens of their own State, tnan the United States authorities can possibly have. I will transmit any further communi cation that I may receive on this subject. It will be perceived by reference to the correspondence, that 1 have offered to raise, in the manner provided by law, two or three regiments of veterans for Hancock's Corps. My desire is to assist the Government in every legal mode in raising men, and especially to-facilitate an officer —a native Ponnsylvanian—so distinguished as General Hancock, in his efforts to organize a new corps. I shall throw no obstacles in his way on the present occasion, but I cannot certainly, be expected to invite a violation of law in carrying out a plan which sacrifi ces the rights of the State under existing laws, and would leave the men unprotected by them, so far as concerns future provision for their comfort and that of their families. I will further observe that it appears by the report of the Adjutant General, herewith transmitted, that the State, under the system established by law. has put into the military service of the United States since the commencement of the war, the follow ing number of men, vsz: Troops sent into service during 1864. Organizations for three years'term 9.867 Organizations for one hundred days' term 7,675 Organizations for one year term 16,094 Volunteer recruits 26,567 Drafted men and substitutes 10,651 Recruits for regular army fie-enlistments of Pennsylvania Volunteers: Infantry ' 13,862 Cavalry 2J534 Artillery 7(gl Accredited to other States 589 91,704 Troops sent into the service of the United States since the commencement of the rebellion, iucluding the ninety days' militia in the departments of the Jdononyahela and Sus quehanna tn 1868: During the year 1861 130,594 do do 1862 71.100 do do 1863 43,046 do do 1864 73,828 Re-enlistment of Penn'a volunteers 17,876 336.444 The twenty-five thousand milrtia of 1862 are not in cluded in this statement. 1 call the attention of the Legislature to the report of the Surveyor General, herewith presented, and com- i mend the suggestions made by that officer to your j consideration. This message is accompanied by full reports of all ! the military departments. They exhibit the large j amount of service performed auring the past year, i and contain a full history of all the nulitarv operations i of the State Many valuable recommendations are i made in them to promote the efficiency of our volun teers, and the comfort of the siekand wounded, which I commend to your earnest and immediate attention. It affords me great satisfaction to bear my testimony to the ability, diligence and fidelity of ali the officers in these several departments. Before closing this message I desire to advert to the delay which has sometimes occurred in the passage of the general appropriation bill. It is necessary that this bill should become a law, as otherwise the action of Government would be stopped. To delav its pre sentation to the Executive as was done at the" last reg ular session—till a late hour of the night before the morning fixed for the final adjournment, is to deprive the people of their right to haye ail bills submitted to the revision of Legislature before becoming laws, in case the Executive should not approve them, if there had been time, I should probably have returned the appropriation bill of last vear lor such revision, as when I had the opportunity of deliberately examin ing it I found provisions which I could not have ap proved—but that opportunity was denied me before the bill had become a law, and in fact, as the Legisla ture was on the point of adjournment, the only ques tion presented to me was whether that bill should be come a law wnhout amendment or the necessities of the government remain unprovided for. The gallantry of our soldiers in the field still sheds lustre on the Commonwealth, and that their merit is appreciated by a generous people is shown by tha con tinued and cheerful liberality with which the men ana women of the State contribute of their means for their eomfort and welfare. May the blessing of God be on those brave men who have stood bv the eonntrv through the dark hours of her trial. country r A. G. CURTIN.

The democratic papers, since the election, have dropped many of their ultra views, but adhere to the stale cry that President Lincoln will accept no terms of peace. How these wiseacres would make peace—whether by ac knowledging disunion, withdrawing our armies, restoring slavery, or offering to join the 6oealled Southern Confed eracy—they do not say, hut they icould make peace! The Lewistown Demo crat chimos in with these political dog matists, and last week again declares that the President will offer no terms. We have heretofore drawn attention to the fact that on three different oc casions, since the commencement of this war by the South Carolina hell hounds, President Lincoln publicly offered clear, distinct and unequivocal terms of peace, all of which were un heeded. First, they were invited, under a general amnesty, to lay down their arms; secondly, they were told by proclamation to resume their relations, with slavery unimpared, by sending senators and representatives to Con gress; and thirdly, to lay down their arms and submit to the laws, excepting only from pardon the leaders. Singu lar as it may seem, the clubfooted speakers of that party, as well as most of its newspapers, totally ignore these historical facts, and continue to press it upon their hearers and readers that the President will offer no terms! The rebels themselves, however, it ap pears, know better, perfecly under stand the conditions, and wo have no doubt but for the military despotism exercised by Jeff Davis and his minions, would gladly embrace the opportunity to come back into the Union on the terms laid down. All therefore that is necessary is to destroy that military power, now reduced to one-half its original strength, and there is an end to the rebellion. In proof of this we cite the city of Savannah in Georgia. We are told by the Savannah Ilepub lican that on the 29th ult. a large meeting of the influential citizens as sembled in the City Hall, at the call of Mayor Arnold, to "take into consider ation matters relating to the present and future welfare of the city." The Mayor took the chair, and a committee to report resolutions, consisting of Col. Rockwell, Alderman Lippman, Dr. Willis, Alderman Villalonga, Martin Lachlison, and Alderman O'Branes, were appointed. Following the reso lutions, which were unanimously adopt ed : Whereas, By the fortuiis of war and the surrender of the city by the civil authori ties, Savannah passes once more under the authority of the L nited States; and, where as, we believe that the interests of the city will be best subserved and promoted by a full free eipresssion of our views in rela tion to our present condition, we, therefore, the people of Savannah, in full meeting assembled, do hereby Resolve , That we accept the position, and, in the language of tha President of the United States, seek to have "peace by laying down our arms and submitting to the national authority under the Consiitu twn, leaving all questions which remain to be adjusted by the peaceful means of la is lation, conference, and votes. Resolved , That, laying aside all differen ces and burying bygones in the graves of the past, we will use our best endeavors onee more to briDg back the prosperity and commerce we once enjoyed. Resolved, That we do not put ourselves in the position of a conquered city asking terms of a conqueror, but we claim the immunities and privileges contained in the proclamation and message of the President of the United States, and in all the legis lation of Congress in reference to a people situated as we are; and while we owe on our P* * strict obedience to the laws of the United States, we ask the protection over our persons, lives, and propeity re cognized by those laws. Resolved, That we respectfully request his Excellency the Governor to call a Con vention of the people of Georgia, by any constitutional means in his power, to give them an opportunity of voting upon the question whether they wish the war be tween the two sections of the country to continue. Resolved, That Major General Sherman having placed as military commandant of this post Brig. Gen. Geary, who has, by his urbanity as a gentleman, and his uni form kindness to our citizens, done all in his power to protect them and their prop erty from insult and injury, it is the unan imous desire of all present that he be allowed to remain in his present position, and that for the reasons above stated the thanks of the citizens are hereby tendered to him and the officers under his command. Resolved , That an official copy of these resolutions be sent to the President of the I nited States, the Governor of Georgia, Gen. Sherman, and to each of the Mayors of Augusta, Columbus, Macon, and At lanta. We submit it to the impartial read er whether it does not sound passing strange to hear democratic papers say the President will offer no terms of peace, when rebels in public meeting assembled, pass resolutions declaring they accept the terms offered , and give the very wording of those terms! THE LEGISLATURE. —The Legislature of this State met on Tuesday of last week and organized by electing Wm. J. Turrell, of Susquehanna county, Speaker, and Geo. W. Hammersly, Clerk of the Senate; and A. G. Olm stead, of Potter, Speaker, and A. W. Benedict, Clerk of the House. On Wednesday the Governor's Message was read. We give it entire to-day. Our members. Messrs. Hall, Haines, Balsbach and Swoope, are all at their posts. WAR NEWS. The rebel papers of the 6th do not contain much news beyond the fright ened telegrams from Charleston. They are discussing the intervention scheme, and are all the while exposing the fast failing strength of their Confederacy. The intervention, or "protectorate" theory, is still a favorite there. If France, especially, does not immediate ly intervene, this, according to the Enquirer, is what will be the result: Napoleon might be startled with another phenomenon upon peace be tween the North and the South. It might not be impossible that a portion of those now engaged in deadly conflict might unite under the same banner in a march upon the invasion of Mexico. We for bear to extend this suggestion, but it is borne out by the history of almost all nations who have fought with each other. The people continue hostile; soldiers will fraternize in common en terprise. WASHINGTON, Jan. B.—The Rich mond papers of January 6 contain ve ry confused and contradictory de spatches. They say that Gens. Hood and Forrest are dead—the latter killed by one of his own men—and other de spatches deny that they are dead; Sherman's army is and is not march ing upon Grahamsville; Kilpatrick has and has not crossed the Alabama river. The only uncontradicted despatches are one from Augusta of the sth, sta ting that the chronicle of that morn ing contained a significant communica tion entitled, "Is it Treasonable to Se cede?" and one from Charleston of the sth, stating "no further movements of the enemy are reported to-day. His force is still concentrating between Ilardeeville and the Savannah river." "Our Ftrat-Claaa" People. In this dreary winter time, when there are thousands of people in this city without a cheerful spark, and thousands of women and children who have almost forgotten the taste and flavor of meat, upper-tendom is as gay as though peace and plenty blessed the land—as though violent death, sorrow and cruel want were but empty sounds and had no being in our midst. There is one continued round of balls and parties and great suppers. Almost every night is made hideous by sere nades from braying brass bands. "Ne ro fiddled while Rome was burning." There is much fiddling in Richmond while battle and famine encompass us on every hand.— Richmond Whig. Raid by Sheridan's Cavalry. A letter from Loudon county, Ya., dated Jan. 3, says: A cavalry force from Gen. Sheridan's army visited the neighborhood of Upperville, and Mid dleburg, on Dec. 27, and destroyed and carried off a considerable amount of property belonging to secessionists of that neighborhood. A few days ago another party of Union cavalry entered the county from Fairfax, and made several arrests of disloyal residents. CINCINNATI, Janury 9. —The Com mercial's correspondent estimates that Hood took across the Tennessee river from twenty-five thousand to twenty eight thousand men. Forrest aban doned about one hundred and fifty wagons on the north side. On Friday Lyon, with about eight hundred men, I passed through McMinnville, capturing j a company of Tennessee Union caval-1 ry. He then crossed tho Chattanooga ' Railroad below Tullahoma, and tore up a few rails. He is on the way to join Forrest at Russelville. Raid by Dana'* Cavalry. MEMPHIS, Jan. 3, VIA CAIRO. Jan. 6. Gen.

Forrest's camp of dismounted men at Everona was dispersed, and six of ficers and twenty men captured. I he expedition did not lose a man. Gen.
