SIP. : 1 have the honor to acknowledge the receipt

unk yon for yonr kind expression of personal

OBJECTIONS AGAINST THE CORPS.
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

•HE REPORTS OK THE SURVIVOR GENERAL AND
THE DEPARTMENTS.
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 !

BINDERY. —Persons desiring Binding of
any description can have the same done in the best
manner, in the bindery connected with the REPOR
TER OFFICE. Blank Books of all kinds made, and
Binding done to order.
CAITIRED.—A letter from Capt. HOSKIXS,
A. Q. M., states that W. S. BRIGGS, detailed and
acting as wagon master, was captured by the rebels,
on the eve of Dec. 10, about twelve miles south of
the Nottaway river.
GAIT. G. \Y. KILMER, of the 14 1 st
regiment, who has not been_ heard from for some

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.
