The only act of Congress for raising vol ntms, that I am aware of, requires that lie field and line officers shall be commis i.jiied by the Governors of the several tates. The men in this corps, are not to .•formed into organizations of the respect re States, and it is proposed that its offi crs shall be appointed by the General Gov nmient. I know of no act of Congress or f Assembly under which men so raised rill be entitled to pensions or their families i. benefits from the United States or State iovcrnmeut. In addition, I will observe hat, without any feeling of jealousy, I am till not ready to participate actively in ransferring to the United States illegally It right of appointment vested in the State mil which the State authorities can exer isc with more discrimination by reason of laving a greater familarity with tho merits : the citizens of their own State than the "nited States authorities can possibly have, will transmit any further communication hat I may receive on this subject. It will it- perceived by reference to the correspond that I have offered to raise, in the Banner provided by law, two or three reg inents of veterans for Hancock's corps. My |.-dre is to assist the Government in every i gal mode in raising men, and especially • > facilitate an officer—a native Pennsylva nia—so distinguished as Gen. Hancock, in lis efforts to organize a new corps. 1 shall throw 110 obstacles in his way on he present occasion, but I cannot, certain y, he expected to invite a violation of law a carrying out a plan which sacrifices the ghts of the State under existing laws,and v aihl leave the men unprotected by them, i" far as concerns future provision for their : 'infurt and that of their families. N I'll HER OK STATE SOLDIERS IN SERVICE. 1 will further observe that it appears by ile- report of the Adjutant General, liere h itli transmitted, that the State, under the kvstem established by law, has put into the iiiilitary service of the United States, since lite commencement of the war, the follow-" ing iimnlier of men, viz : TROOPS SENT INTO SERVICE DURING 1864.

I call the attention of the Legislature to report of the Surveyor General, here in presented, and commend the suggest ■i made by that officer to your consider- I -lion. ibis message is accompanied by full re ports of all the military departments. They M il'it the large amount of service perform ■ 'uriug the past year, and contain a full ;'stnry of all the military operations of the Mute. Many valuable recommendations are 'U'le in them to promote the efficiency of II volunteers, and the comfort of the sick ' '• wounded, which I commend to your ir uest and immediate attention. It affords " jTe.it satisfaction to bear my testimony the ability, diligence, and fidelity of all l! "' "fticers in those several departments. REMARKS IN CONCLUSION. Ik-fore closing this message I desire to 1 - v, rt to the delay which has sometimes urred in the passage of the general ap -1 'Triatinn bill. It is nrcessary that this ■ Tiiiuhl become a law, as otherwise the ; ' '"•ii of Government would be stopped.— ' '' ;t y its presentation to the Executive t jw was done at the last regular session— hour of the night before the niorn uriv! 1 ® na ' a( \journment, is to de bill- 1 °f their right to have all lat ui . M |"? lUf i l tlj tl f e revision of the Legis- Exeem; L ,aWB> i" case the tW 1 !\* 1 . !u,t a PP r ove them. If iai been time, I should probably have returned the appropriation bill of last year for such revision, as when I had the opportunity of deliberately examining' 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 Legislature was on the point of adjournment, the only question present ed to me was whether that bill should be come a law without amendment, or the necessities of the Government remain un provided for. The gallantry of our soldiers in the field still sheds lustre on the Com monwealth, and that their merit is appreci ated by a generous people is shown by the continued and cheerful liberality with which the men and women of the State contribute of thoir means for their comfort and wel fare. May the blessing of God be qn those brave men who have stood by the country through the dark hours of her trial ! A. G. CI7RTIN. EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, Hurrisburg, Jan. 4, 1865. . LOCAL AND GENERAL.

THE attention of those desiring to purchase a valuable property is called to the notice of L. L. MOODY, in our advertising columns. The opportunity is a very desirable one, for persons de siring to engage in business. Ax EXCELLENT BEE-HIVE. —We had an op pertunity recently of fully examining " R. S. TOR KEY'S Maine State Bee-Hive, " pattentcd June 7, 1859, and which has become so celebrated through out the country. We might here remark that Mr. TURKEY, whose residence is at Bangor, Maine, is probably the most extensive cultivator of Bees in the United States. That this hive is justly entitled to celigrity there can be no question. It is, according to our bumble judgement, the tie {tins ultra of bee hives. It is simple, yet perfect in its entire construction, and its value cannot fail to be appreciated by all intelli gent minds who will give it an examination. We are not alone in our good opinion of this hive, for it has never failed to take the first premium at all state and county fairs where it has been on exhibi tion ; and it has the unqualified endorsement of the largest and best bee men in the country, who are using the hive ; as also all the leading Agricul tural and other Journals of the land. We know that pattent bee hives, like many other pattents, are regarded, and often justly, with dis trust ; but the common sense exhibited in the con struction of this hive, is so palpable that there can be no misunderstanding its value. It is not expen sive—it is jierfect in form and construction all surplus honey can be easily removed without dis turbing the bees or hive—the condition of the bees can lie seen at any time—it has perfect ami scien tific ventilation—no frost or ice, which is so fatal to the swarm, accumulate in winter—it is a perfect deatl shot against the moth, robber bees, Ac,, if properly managed. In times like these, when we are paying such ; exhorbitant prices for all kinds of sweets, it be- j comes more imperative than ever to save by culti- ; vating the bee, what would be otherwise "lost up- j on the desert air. " Now, ourladvice to farmers is to teke care of j their bees, if they desire to make the bee culture profitable. Let the " dilligent little bee" live, and j it will repay you tenfold for your trouble. To do I this secure Torrey's Hive,ami follow his directions, | and you are all right. Mr. T. will remain in the county for a week or . two, and all communications addressed to him at j Towanda, will receive prompt attention.— Aryns. j We join in the above commendations of our neighbor. We have seen Mr. TORREY'S bee-hive i and examined it thoroughly, and in our judgment, ' it is the most perfect thing of the kind ever inven ted. TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT. —A sad and appalling accident occurred at the Depot, in Owego, on Thursday night last. The particulars of the accident, from the Times , are as follows : The Dis patcher, about 12 o'clock, began to make up trains for the morning, and in doing so ran a caboose and three freight cars out on the western bound main track and with the switch engine started for others, and while away in the lower part of the yard a train was heard approaching with greut rapidity and he fore any thing could be done, it dashed into the caboose in which two brakemen had taken their lodging for the night. The shock crushed the ca boose like an egg-shell, ripping its floor up some six or eight feet. The head of the engine was shat tered all to pieces—the smoke stack was hurled over into the tender, and the exhaust and steam pipes connecting with the cylinder crushed and broken, at once throwing the whole steam of the engine into the caboose and literally boiling the two unfortunate men so completely that the skin of their hands, feet and faces, came oft'entire. The skin of the hands and feet were as complete as a glove, the nails of the fingers and toes accompany ing the skin. They lived for about two hours, and were sensible almost to the last. Their names were I. WATERMAN, of Catlin Hill, and W. H. LAW RENCE, of near Athens, Pa., both are said to have l>een returned soldiers, both the sons of widows, and both had been on the road,' one a week, the other, we believe, only two days. The train that came in is what is called a "Wild-cat," that is, a train running on no particular time. A SOLDIER'S \\ IFE IN A FlX. —Fpon the or ganization of the 141 st Pa., a resident of Hawley enlisted in Co. G, Capt. Mumford, and went with the Co. to \a. At the battle of Chancellorsville he was reported killed, and a coiurade'sent, an he KUI>- posed, a pocket book and a lock of bis hair to the soldier's wife. On such evidence she regarded him as dead, and some two months ago married again. Among the prisoners who were recently released from Georgia prisons, was the supposed dead hus band. Upon bis arrival at Annapolis he immedi ately obtained a furlough and started to see his family. Our readers can imagine his surprise at finding his wife married again, and hers at behold ing. as she supposed, her dead husband. This war causes many curious scenes to be enacted.—Hones dale Hep. A similar case to the above occurred in Rome, in this county. The wife of a private in the 141 st regiment, having as she supposed, indubitable ev idence of his having been killed in battle, contrac ted a second marriage. It turns out that the hus band was a prisoner, and uninjured. COWI.ES A Go's Exi RESS. —Cowlcs & Co., are now sending daily, through their express, large quantities of Boxes to the army, for the soldiers, filled with everything good to eat and wear. We are rejoiced to know that the brave soldiers who are so gallantly in the field defending their coun try's flag, are not forgotten by their friends at home. As the army has now gone into winter quarters, it is a good time for every family to send a box well filled with "good cheer,"to gladden the hearts of our brave boys. They will be prop erly marked at their office, and to get througlqquick, should be brought in early in the week. COWLEH ACo connect with all the Express Com panies throughout the United States.
