Governor Cartin’* KF«^affe.
To say that Govenor Curtis's f message should
determine the course of the Legislature is to
give it very high praise. Bat are not dis
appointed in the message; it impractical and
business-like ; it exhibits the condition of the
State, and abounds in esceiUt/A suggestions,
upon which the Legislature :isl f Id promptly
act. Govenor Curtin has not l jjjrishod three
columns of criticism on the; ifltgahres of the
Government, butjms wisely gil-fp (pe,most of
hi*, attention to the affairs of fits bwn State,
and we are now to see if the i jthrpis impera
tively demanded are to be_ I pciertaken by
the .'Legislature. The Gotel is j ijhas done
nearly all that he can do in sikititef tho mam
features .of a wise and patriot!'? State policy.
, The finances of the State at 4 in'; a healthy
condition, and one of the most '■ meas
ures recommended, is. we thrsk, pseential to
our future [prosperity. It heS'bjtheijlo been the
rule of the State to pay its iqtel?4st ijn coin, and
the Govenor is right in saying tiiaVthis fact is
honorable! But he is also rigtit ip affirming
that the Commonwealth shou*djnot|pay the in
terest of its debt in the- naVpna., currency.
Ttiis'ia the currency of our <iv( 0 Government,
and we could not, the Goveafif wijll says, at
tempt to refuse it in payment of ta-tes and oth
. - I —-• >sri»Kmit
gross indecency. Sucbarefurffl ppuld injure
tfao credit of the Gorernment,'<ftn( • would not
be tbeactof a loyal State. ThLStale han, then,
the right to satisfy its credilofiswrjth’ the cur
rency which it is willing to i-ttcejjt from its
debtors. Govenor Curtin smitdrip his argu
ment by the necessities of oBi condition and'
the precedents of other Governtneqts. He pla
ces this dilemna clearly : either the State
must use the national cuprei'icyrin payment
of debt, or prepare to pay the jireplium on coin
by levying heavy taxes. The legislature must
ofaoose between , the evil 6f‘bu|!dening the
people with new taxes, or the'gbotl of respect
ing the currency, which is,rcftpeijted by the
whole country, and based too soundest
cceurity of the Government. - |
There is no important BnlftSpt-iupon which
the message is not (explicit.'" ?t;«fcommends a
revision of the act for the relief t 4 families of
Volunteers, to increase its efficjeacy and press
es upon the Legislature the.immediate relief of
the orphans of soldiers. The ,rnor advises
'that the State should becomtU (sponsible fur
the education and mainteaaG: j of these chil
dren in. existing schools. iTky Governor calls
attention to the fact that, for Ji ietity years, no
alteration has been made ih t> (revenue laws,
and suggests additional tarifo bf certain mi
ning companies which enjoy tit hcpolics of un
.patented lands, of corporator:!lads, and upon,
tbo gross receipts of all raiiro canal com
panies. The noble tribund 1 bo-pays to General
Estsolds' ought not’to his eloquence,
but in fitting legislative acijoK." Govenor Ccb
rtN finds in the invasion of ad
ditional proof of the of’ a revision
of the mulitia laws. He k nctUrijusly right in
declaring them shamefully: defective. On all
matters connected with 'organ
ization and the services of sol
diers we find the message ferf'ea-rnest; it sug
gests that the history ofesreli 'Pennsylvania
regiment should be preserved jn jhe State arch
ires, injustice alike to theGkQigpnd the dead.
It also Yecommends that the legislature should
pass the amendments to giv
ing the soldiers the right p ln order to
protect the State and advsn'G Vjlunteering, it
advises that the penalty of iUc :knd iniprison
taenf be-imposed on all concerned in
enlisting citizens of this fey regiments to
be credited to other States’ 1686 measures
and others recommended.fehJw what duty the.
State has yet to perform, huj{th? Governor has

which deals sow- 1 the great
. material interests of the S jttt, and if proof
were needed that the of the voters of

to pur confidence is his Intel i Jept loyally. The
one paramount duty of .sili porting our Gov

THE AGITATOR.
M. H. COBB, EDITOE AHD PitOPIUETOE..
■WEDNESDAY, : ; : JANUARY 13, 1864.
The world’s case has been diagnosed several
hundred thousand times by several hundred
thousand physicians. The result is lime-hon
ored—“ Doctors disagree."
But what ails the world 7 Ab, that’s the
question. To say that it is wicked is vague
and unsatisfactory. Everybody is aware of
that fact. It talks much about equality, and
declares that before their Maker, all men ore
equal in their quality as man. And then it
makes laws and fosters customs which tend to
create and perpetuate inequality. It talks
much of goodness and venerates the bones of
dead, saints % and it goes out of the way to per
secute the i living saints. It proclaims the
sanctity of human life,—and hedges it about
with statutory defences; and then goes to
—Dinugmering vena or tdou
sands as if they were so many swine or hub
looks. -It revels in visions of universal free
dom, yet not only tolerates, but seeks to per
petuate human bondage and traffic in men and
women. It declares avarice to be one of the
cardinal sins ; and too often requires people to
unlock the gate of society with a golden key.
So it is an inconsistent, insincere, canting,
hypocritical old world. That is the judgment,
is it not ? It Is a mendacious, pilfering, tat
tling, bigoted, uncharitable, murderous old
world, is it not?- Nevertheless it is as we find
it—at once the best of which wo have any
certain/knowledge, and one in which wo have
work to dot So we must all, if wise, make the
best of it.
But the world is not inconsistent, menda
cious, and insincere by accident. There is a
reason why, and tbongh many have thonght to
discover it, scarcely two of the many assign
the same reason., To say that Adam-sinned
will only satisfy those who;endeavor to get
through .the woyld with as little thought as
may he. The question seems to be—“ of what
particular phase of sin baa the world been
guilty for so many ages, that it scarcely seems
to have left a single honest hair in its head ?"
To answer this question dogmatically ought
to stamp the respondent as an empiric. It is
easy to say that men are depraved by nature,
and therefore their deeds must be somewhat
evil. But this does not answer the question.
It is easy to say that men are selfish and am
bitious, and therefore oppression and war en
sue. But this does not solve the riddle; for
what the enquirer demands to know is, not if
man is depraved, or selfish, -or oppressive, for
that is evident; but why, in this Christian
age, man is all of these, and perhaps still worse
and more. ' ' •
It is therefore with great rolnclance that we
attempt to deal with this subject, at all. Cer
tainly we do not intend to answer the question.
But on looking over the history of the world it
does seem as though all the doctors had begun
at the wrong end of the case in making their
diagnoses.
-- For instance; Talleyrand, Metternioh, Bol
ingbroke, and others, are regarded as types of
a subtler intellectuality than most of their
respective contemporaries. Yet these men did
more to render lying one of the fine arts than
any who figure in modern history. When it is
said of a" man that he is a skillful diplomatist,
it is only another and more vague way of say
ing that he is an adept at lying and deception.
At once lying becomes fashionable; and there
fore “ the world is given to lying.”
, Again : _AH the world exclaimed against
the exclusiveness of the Chinese, as; to-day,
the exclusiveness of the Japanese is denounced.
If these nations have any peculiar fault it is
that of too intense nationality. Yet all the
nations of the world are endeavoring to be
come more distinct, one from the other, and
putting forth all their energies to erect political
Chinese walla on every side. Hero is a plump
and authoritative denial of the Christian doc
trine that all men are brothers, and some sort
of an explanation why the strong are every
day trampling the weak underfoot; they are
trying to become intensely individual, as na
tions are trying to, become more intensely na
tional.
It may seem paradoxical to say that the in
dividual is more virtuous and decent-than the
aggregate roan. But we so conclude! And
we apprehend that the intensification of those
imaginary lines on the' map, called national,
State, county, and town lines, has bred more
bad blood and spilled' more good, than all the
foul brood of human ambitions and follies
besidcd.
Wk are not greatly given to the emotion of
surprise, or even of-indignation, at anything
the Copperysneaks may do, either ns citizens or
as legislators. Like the old lady when a
neighbor ran in haste to tell her that the cow
had swallowed the bread-trough, we “ always
expected” whatever’ happens in the Copper
bead line. «
Therefore, we shall not dissemble enough to
show indignation at the action of the sixteen
Copperysneaks in tho State Senate. Some of
our contemporaries exclaim loudly against the
factious course pursued by them in preventing
the transaction of business in that body. The
history of the case is this: The Unionists have
seventeen members and the rebels sixteen.
But one Union Senator—Maj. Harry White—
-is a prisoner in Richmond. Jeff. Davis refuses
to exchange him on any terms. This leaves
tho Senate a tie. llon.'Mohn P. Penney,
Union, was elected Speaker during the recess..
WSUSBOBOIT6S, PBNMAi
WHAT AILS THE WOULD ?
WHEELS LOCKED,
THE TIOGA a-COUNTT AGITATOE.
Common sense -would" decide {hat hb must be
the presiding officer of the Senate until bis
successor shall bo chosen. The Copperyancaks
deny this, and demand nn election. Of course
n 0 election can be had so long ns the Senate is
equally divided. They put forward Hiester
Clymer—a virulent rebel, for whom no loyal
man can vote. The Union men put forward
Mr. Penney -the present Speaker. Nobody
doubts Mr. Denney's loyalty ; therefore nobody
will hesitate to vote for him except upon strict
ly party grounds.
So the case stands. Every ballot results in
sixteen votes for each candidate ; and so must
continue to result, indefinitely, as far as now
appears. Thus the entire, session may bo lost,
as no legislation can bp had in either house
until both are organized.- By the factious op
position of these sixteen Copperysneaks the
State must pay §lOO,OOO for nothing at all.
These are the fellowa who make much of the
public expenditures and bowl so mnoh-about
taxation. To pay the Legislature §lOO,OOO,
dear reader, you and all of us must put our
hands into our pockets. About $2,000 of
His« ranro nr .lean, will eventually be required
of Tioga county. Let os remember, then,
when we pay it, that sixteen Copperheads, like
tjpose who made such an exhibition of their
ignorance last fall, in this county, put this ad
ditional burden on our shoulders. These arc
the canting fellows who bellowed so lustily
about taxation last fall, i Shall we remember
them ?
WAR NEWS.
A diupatch from Fort: Smith of the 10th re
ports that a : Rebel Lieutenant, with a squad of
men, came into our lines; that day, having left
Price’s headquarters at Longwobd on Christ
mas. Gen. Holmes commands the Rebel
Trans-Mississippi Department, and Price com
mands the army in the field, which is from
13,000 to 10,000 strong., Only 3,000 or 4,000
of Price’s Missourians survive—the veterans of
Lexington and Pea Ridge are nearly all dead.
The Rebel troops are badly clothed and fed, and
are greatly disheartened hy news of Union sue
cesses in Texas. It was supposed that Holmes
and Price would make an attempt upon Little
Rock and Fort Smith. ,
Nino full regiments have gone into camp in
Indiana, and two more regiments are nearly
full. Recruits for the old regiments are pour
ing into Indianapolis by hundreds. The State
has nearly filled her quota.
Gov. Bramlelte of Kentucky sent a message
into the Senate on Saturday, urging the imme
diate necessity of raising troops for the State
defense.
The Navy Department has been advised of
tho capture of the Rebel schooner Marshall J;
Smith by the gunboat Kennebec.- She was
discovered about 18 miles east of Mobile Point,
at night. Discovering the Kennebec, sho
changed her course and hauled to land. A
shell was fired, and the vessel was approached
and boarded. She was from Mobile, bound to
Havana with a cargo of 260 bales of cotton
and! some turpentine. Her manifest and pa
persl were thrown overboard.
The recent attempt of General Early, with
the brigades of Lee, Walker and Rosser, under
the immediate command of Fitzhugh Lee, to
capture the-Union garrison at Petersburg and
take possession of Cumberland and New-Creek,
has proved a failure. A few empty wagons—
thirty-five in all—of Colonel Thoburn’s force,
were captured by the Rebels on their route
from Petersburg.
While our prisoners in Richmond are, by
Rebel confession, wretchedly fed and clothed,
and while Rebel papers are tolling the most
absurd lies about our behavior to their prison
ers at Point Lookout, theGjdiernmentat Wash s
ington is devising means to relieve the distress
of the t neople of Virginia, whose substance has
been wasted by the tramp of Lee’s and our own
armies, and the incidental buzzards of the war.
The inhabitants of the whole country from
Washington to the Rapidan, and from the
Blue Ridge to the Peninsula, is to share in such
supplies of food as they choose to purchase,
themselves guaranteeing its transportation;
and further efforts are on foot to supply those
who are too poor to buy. If Mosehy and Stu
art do not steal the provisions sent to suffering
Rebel non-combatants, the United States Gov
ernment will go far beyond the line of duty
and the laws of war in feeding its enemies.
No oath of loyalty is required, nothing but a
pledge that the bread and meat thus sold shall
not go to support men actually in arms against
the nation ; in other words, that this source of
supply shall not he open, by purchase or other
wise, to the Rebel army. Will the Copper
heads who howl so dismally about Northern
barbarity, note these facts ? If they do, ton
to one they complain that the United States
does not give away a hundred millions .worth
of food without pay and without question.
‘We have dates from New-Orleans to the 31st
nit. A secret expedition left there on the 30th,
destination thought to be toward Mobile, prob
ably to'land and fortify at Pascagoula. 1 New
Orleans had been drowned out by heavy rain,
Deo. 28, nearly the whole of the city streets
are a foot or two under water. Nothing espe
cially new in war matters. Prom the front the
report is •• “ Army encamped ; all well.” The
Texas refugees were freely coming in to swear
allegiance.On the 18th the bones of Captain
W.W. Montgomery, of the First (Union) Texas
Cavalry, a Union officer, captured and hung by
the Rebels, were picked up and interred in Fart
Browne, in presence of all our troops in
Brownsville and a large concourse of citizens.
General Dana, commanding 13th Corps, and
Governor Hamilton, were present. Governor
Hamilton made a thrilling speech. The loyal
Texans have taken an oath of vengeance on his
murderers. Recruiting is rapidly going on.
Rebel sympathizers are forced to fly into Hex
ico. At New-Orleahs a mass meeting of all
the loyal people in the State of Louisiana has
been called for the Bth of January. The ob
ject was to take into consideration the forma
tion of a Free State Government. Nearly
enough are enrolled to enable the'State to re
turn to the Union under the President’s Proc
lamation. Guerrilla firing upon bouts along
the Mississippi bad almost entirely ceased.

■Death op the Right Bet. Archbishop
Hughes.— —This distinguished prelate and orna
ment of the Catholic Ghurair died at his resi
dence in Now York on Suhdsy -the 3d instant.
He had been in infirm health for soma time
past, and therefore tbo announcement of his
death did not take the community by surprise.
The Archbishop was not so advanced in life as
many supposed, being but sixty-five years of
age. Archbishop Hughes was a native of Ty
rone county, Ireland, and came to this country
abopt the year 1820. He settled at Gettysburg,
in Pennsylvania, since made so memorable in
our country’s history. He completed his edu
cation at Mount St. Mary’s College, at Em
mittsburg; was appointed or ordained priest in
1830, and was stationed in Philadelphia. In
1840 ho was appointed Assistant Bishop for the
see of New York, and on the death of Bishop
Dubois was appointed his successor. Ten years
ago he was elevated to the dignity of Arch
bishop, and it is but feeble praise to say that
the office was never dishonored while he filled
it. The deceased first distinguished himself in
a controversy with the Rev. Dr. Breckinridge,
of Kentucky, and nt a much later period in a
protracted correspondence with Mr. Erastua
Brooks, of New York. Abouto year ngq Arch
bishop Hughes was deputed to visit Europe in
the interest of the Government, and did good
service to the Union cause by his judicious
management ol tne trust reposed in him. In
brief, few exolesiastics in this country have
been so well known and so universally beloved
and esteemed.
The Richmond Whig on Gen. Boiler. —ln
an article on the exchange of prisoners, the
Richmond Whig of the 20th December, says:
“ A preliminary question to be considered hy
our authorities is whether they will treat with
a person whom they have formally outlawed.—
If this difficulty can be got over, we /lara say
Butler, may be dealt with on as good terms as
any one Lincoln will select. Hitchcock and
Meiredlth both proved themselves scurvy fel
lows—falsifiers and tricksters. They are well
got rid of, It it known that Butler disapproved
their conduct, and that he has all along fa
vored, or pretended to favor, a just and liberal
plan of exchange. Tho first cartel that was
entered into was negotiated, if we remember
aright, between him and General D. 11. Hill.—
Upon the whole, and in view of the accomplish
of so desirable an end as the liberation of so
many of our noble fellows, now the tenants of
Yankee prisons, we hope tho President may
not find it incompatible with the dignity and
duty of the government to waive the outlawry
and recognize the beast. It will be necessary
for Col. Gold, though, to be wide awake when
they get to arranging tho terms of exchange;
for this cross-eyed Yankee has in him the cun
ning of the Evil One.”
Relics or the Olden Time. —Many persons
suppose that the Stamp and Revenue Law is a
new thing in the history of the country, and,
are often beard deploring the “ good old times”,
of our fathers and grandfathers, when such
things were not. Such persons, however, labor
under a mistake. The Daily Times notices as
a curiosity a Bond executed by Nicholas Seidel,
Iron Master, of Alsace township, Berks county,
in favor of Cornelius Tyson, Innkeeper, of Rob
eson township, same county, for two hundred
pounds, good and lawful money of the State of
Pennsylvania. This Bond bears date the lllh
day of August, 1801, and fifty cent Internal
Revenue Stamp, having been given in the days
when the Stales were still obliged to resort to
direct taxation in order to meet- the - expenses
incurred in tho Revolutionary War. We were
also shown, a month or two ago, several re
ceipts of the date of 1815 or ’2O, for Internal
Revenue tax on carriages—the rates then being
much higher than now. One of the blank
books is still kept among the archives of the
Beading Library, in which was kept an account
of taxes levied and collected in Berks county,
upon the manufactures of distilled spirits. The
fact is, the burdens now borne by the people
are no greater, if as great, as they were in the
"good old times’ 1 , which we hear so much
about. —Reading Journal.
Losses and Captures During 1863. —Gen-
eral Halleck’a report furnishes the following

year 1863;

The N. Y Evening Post estimates the num
ber of Southern Unionists now living in New
York city at twenty thousand, which would
give, at a fair calculation, more than half of a
million in the free States, exclusive of those in
the army. Many of these will return to Lou
isiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Virginia, and,
with the Northern emigration already begun,
will decide the destinies of these States. The
war, by the agitation and distribution of pop
ulation, will inevitably take the political power
from the few slaveholders and give it to the
many workingmen. The plan of the Presi
dent for the restoration of the Southern States
will prove to be effectual, because of these
great social changes in the condition and char
acter of the people of the South, and the de
struction of the tyranny of the greaf’planta
tion oligarchs.
A Considerable Lot of Old Iron.—Work
men have been engaged for some time past, un
der the direction of Col. McCallum, Superintend
ent of military Railroads, in collecting all the
old iron scattered along the Orange and Alex
andria Railroad, from Alexandria to the Rap
pahannock river. The lot comprises remnants
from the wrecks of locomotives, railroad cars,
bent end twisted rails, and iron from the
bridges destroyed and track torn un in the va
rious rebel raids which have taken place on the
line of this road within the past two years.
These fragments, of all sorts, sizes and descrip
tions, spread along the road for miles, are being
gathered up and taken to Alexandria, where
they will be sold during tho coming month.
The lot will amount to upwards, of two thou
sand' tons, and comprises some nine or tea dam

Hare You a Friend in the Army ?
Fort Alexander, Md., Oct. 12, ’62.
Let me assure yon that persons 'having sons,
husbands and brothers in the army will do well
to send them Cline’s Embrocation. It is just the
medicine now wanted by soldiers for colds, coughs,
sprains, rheumatism, and camp ailments produced
by exposure. Hoping that Sutlers for the army
will take prompt measures to get a supply, I re
main, sir,

' For Diptheria, Colds, Coughs, Sore Throat, or
Hoarseness, its equal is not to be found. When
taken in time, or immediately after an exposure,
the effects aro astonishing. TVo or three doses
will throw off the cold and perform a cure, and
prevent the setting in of the fever and coash that
usually follow a cold, which always racks the
eastern, often leading to dipthcria and consump
tion. It is highly necessary, therefore, that the
remedy bo administered in 'time. One-or two
doses may prevent these destructive complaints,
and save yon from an untimely grave.
