It is a complete anavn "'-do the Sen ator who interrogated me. They Jail meet on the first’ Tuesday in every year, unless sooner convened by the Governor; and each house shall eboose its Speaker and other: oSicsrH.. Now, I do not understand the Constitution to mean that the Senate shall choose a Speaker annually. ' Certainly the Constitution does not require that. •ItU not in the letter of the Constitution ; and we contend it is not in the spirit the Consti tution. In th« case I have supf ls?d, there is a Speaker; and there is nothing a this consti tutional prorieiofl which requires jmt a Speaker should b» elected, except a JSpeab t'pro tempore tHien the Speaker exercies a tho Jo ties of the Gotcrnorship. : f ’ _ } - Mr, STEIti. It says every y« fcr; Mr. WILSON. Not at all. I oeg your par ddp, sir, The Assembly shall meet every year. Not the'rSpeaker, but the Assembly, shall he elected every year. We say that if is not the letter of the Constitution,- that the Speaker should’ be elected annually; add we .say it 1 is not-the.spirit of the Constitution; and that View has been taken by as able ftmators as we bays here now. The Speaker hit) held his seat after, the Senate had been ia sesjjbn for several weeks'; i, ■ - -! i ■ Now,' the only plausible thug which might ire taken by the people.at 0 have some thing in it, is this, that the Speab Jr of the Ssn ate'usualiy steps out of the char,, and does not act while a Speaker is besing elected. Well, sir, I do. not suppose that ,a Senator here be lieves, that by vacating the chair, the Speaker assigns his' position as the presiding officer. ■Dees any Senator believe, that when the Speaker goes oul to get a drink of water, ha thereby changes his position; or whether, when he di rects the Clerk to act in bis place,; he loses his authority ? Where does the Clejit get his au thority to act ’as teller ? Why, air, from the Speaker; who, when he steps out-of the chair, makes a direction to that effect. Mr. CLYMER. Will the Senator allow me to correct him ? When the motion is made that the Senate proceed to ati election for Speaker, the question is asked, ‘ ‘.who shall act as tellers;” the response from, the Senate iS, “ the Clerks.” ■ : • ■ Hr.

The Senator will find it so on the Journal. ! Mr. WILSON. A suggestion jias just been made to me, and I deem it a ver'r proper one. It is this: The Speaker otjmea ot-’t of the chair, and takes his seat in his ordiqpr.tr place. Does Ihc Seoatpr from Berks, nr aoy tjther man, say that he is no longer Sppakf' Suppose the house should get into and a rebel lion should be kicked up Jberß, ,>ould not the Speaker step back into tbit chili rband command -order? -Or, how can a mot ou-to adjourn be made, unless the Speaker; reaotsßs the chair? - Mr. CLYMER. The Clerk pit-sides. I point the Senator, fur information on.that score, to the proceedings of the Senatt 1855. He will perceive that then the Senate balloted for four days, and that the Clerk acted as the pre siding officer, and,that no other motion was en tertained by him, except a’mot (in to proceed to a ballot for Speaker, or a mothti’to adjourn. - Mr. WILSON. Well, ;then ; T am prepared th say he acted in error. ' This is the same Sen ate that has existed ever since the Constitution. It is a continuous and organized body. ■ Now, Mr. Speaker, asjl do -hot deem time very important, I trust that rji southern side of the house will bear patient j with toe in the few remarks I may add.; 1 la've listened pa tiently to the extreme feeling which has been manifested on that side ip relation to certain imputations alleged to hVe been cast in tbat direction. Now, I have not been able to bear any of these alleged iqjputft'^ns; and I at least hgye not thrown any upM* them. Yet, it I occupied a seat upon that ’side, I think I would he as sensitive as any olnhem. Now, as has been well said, we hear -those gentlemen saying, “ we are in favor of organization.”- That sounds well, and will sei'd well to their constituents. But my constit tents will not be lieve any. thing of the sortft? the very fact, that every time a vote, was taken for organiza tion, they voted against Jt. Well, then we of fered a resolution that the ses lions of the Sen ate he opened with prayer, as has been the cus tom heretofore; and while tl «y repeatedly de clared themselves in favor of organization and piety, and of everything!else, ;tbey voted “no.” Then we offered a resolution ipmplimentary to «en, Meade and the officers s-d privates under him, for driving the rebels o ( of our own ter ritory, and for preventing t! cm from tearing down the capitol of the State ;Sf Pennsylvania. They were exceedingly jmsicits that those to whom our thanks were jjirecttd should receive them, and yet, when an opportunity was nf forded tho other side to tende'] those well merit ed thanks, every Senator thei;e voted “ no.” We offered a congratulatory Resolution to Gen. Grant, and received the san-ie response. And yet the Senators are anxious’, that the Senate should be organized. Now, this looks to me very much like the spirit th it, actuated a cer tain convention which met it ; !;he adjoining hall at the very time that it-was ixpected this Capi tol would be blown up by tl q rebels. . At that time, a set of men ocoupyin ; seatsun the Hall of the House of Repre’sentui-ves, got up and hurrahed fur Vallandigbao V Yet those men yvera ip favor of putting dosVn;rebellion I Look ing to the city of New York, we'find this same body »till in fovor of putting ’ down the rebel lion; but when the draft comes to he made, there is an insurrection. 'The draft is resisted by them: We find saerr; party declaring their, belief that the draft is right, while their judges are -deciding that it }£unconstitutional. But now, when the whole opuntry is satisfied that this Senate is practical,fy, honestly, and legally organized, we find tint body declaring, “ Oh 1 it is unconstitutional, it is wrong, to proceed to business.” i That .looks tome very much like the spirit of fai (jousness ; and the people of Pennsylvania will Charge our present delay and difficulty upon tl ose who have occa sioned it. Let Senators ret ect upon it, that the .other side are making a ca; Pious objection, and taking sd vantage of thcifa.-t that Jeff. Davis xtoSos in bondage one iif i ur members. Yet they say to us, " we are fteti Stive; do not charge “• w A th any eymp& ; jjy with the rebel lion.

I say thatthat ia a horse-jockey proposition. We are here to do the business of the Common wealth, and I trust that this side of the cham ber will stand firm. Mr. Speaker, if any unnecessary delay should prevent the passage of legislation upon tho sub ject treated of in the resolution of the Senator from Erie; tho people will look to this Senate for the responsibility. . I should not have occupied the time of the Senate, hot I believe now that the interests of the Commonwealth demand that the proposition here submitted should be acted on carefully.— If it had received a careful consideration last year, I, .believe that the State would have ef fected a saving- of $1,055,000. I thank God that I voted for it then. I shall be glad to vote for it now. THE AGITATOR. M. H. COBB, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. WEDNESDAY, ; ; : JANUARY 27. 1864. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. I suppose most readers will find it difficult to believe that and Washington have enjoyed tolerable sleighing for some ' days. However, so it is. The snowfall seems to have been greater here than in Philadelphia and Harrisburg, and I found It greater in those cities than it was in Tioga county. The climate of this is so erratic that it need not surprise us to hear that the Gulf of Mexico is converted into a vast skating park, and that the picaninnies are building snow houses in New Orleans. ■> But a climate “ everything by turns” can bo nothing long. Therefore, I was not surprised to find the afternoon of Thursday last as humid .and bland as an April evening,’or the forenoon of Friday’ enveloped in a fog, whose density rivaled all that is described 'of a London fog. Objects could not be distinctly seen at a dis tance of a hundred feet. It wap like respiring feathers to draw one’s breath. The effect of all this transition from January to May has been to gobble up the snow and retnrn it to the streets in the form of mud of the consis tency and nastiness of wagon grease. Satur day morning dawned npon us with all the splendors of a morning in September. The mod was solid and the sky was full of autumn hues. The air was just bracing enough to re mind one of the presence of Jack Frost. I speak of .these little things, not as matters of moment, but for diversion. It is good to gossip' about the weather occasionally, to relieve the mind of a too constant strain in its effort to solve the riddle of the times —“ How is all this going to turn out 1” The American peo ple are too impatient of the slow progress of events. It is well that they were notin being when the work of creation was in progress, or they would have begun to grumble about the Tuesday of the creation week. They would have found fault with the slow progress of creation, yet now that it is over, so far as this orb is concerned, they are eager to believe that the earth is something less or more than 500,- 000,000 of, years old. This reminds me that I ventured to’dare the mud and slush of Friday night, 15th inst., to listen to a lecture .by Prof! Agassiz at the Smithsonian.. His subject was the Glacial Pe riod. He concludes that at one period of time this continent, from the Arctic to 38° south, was covered with a glacier 5000 feet thick. On Friday night he explained how there came to be moisture enough in the atmosphere to carry d snow-storm which must have raged at some thousands of years. Up to a certain point he dealt in incontrovertible facts; then stated that farther progress in that direction must be speculative. He supposed that at the beginning of the cold period the internal fires of the earth threw oat imihense, continuous streams of red-hot lava, which fell into the ocean and produced vast volumes of steam. This process of vaporization would result in intense cold, of course, and the vapor would ne'cessarlly fall in snow and sleet. This is a very meager sketch of his lecture, but such lectures cannot be reported. Prof. Agassis is a noble looking man, with the finest head I ever saw. His speech' betrays bis Switzerland origin, but he speaks quite correct English save the accent. I think he lectures a few evenings more this week. M. H. C. The debate on the amendments to the En rollment Act in the Senate have not partic ularly enlightened tbs country. Many of the amendments proposed, debated and rejected seemed pointless and unprofitable. It will sometime be understood and {admitted that no Government ever failed to prosecute a war suc cessfully which maintained its credit more ef fectually than its antagonistthat is to say— sphere the belligerents were placed under other circumstances equally favorable. Men can always be had for money ; and were tho Gov ernment placed in n condition to offer the bounties at present offered until the need of men should be obviated by the return of peace, there never be any dearth of men to take the field. Turn the matter in any way yon please, still, the inevitable fact, that this war must be supported by the accumulated and the accu mulating wealth of tho country, stares yon in the face. It is simply a question whether men of no means shall fight the battles and endure the hardships of the service, and dare death by bullet and bayonet at $l3 per month, or, that men beyond' military age, and who have WELLS BOROUGH, PENN’A: Washington, January 19,1864. Washington, January 20, 18G4, THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. become enriched, shall be secured in the pos session of their, property; or whether this ac cumulated capital shall help to make the sol dier’s family comfortable by paying a generous bounty. I repeat-“tho wealth of the country must now be made tributary to the prosecution of this great war for independence, and the sooner men face the fact, and prepare' for it, the better. The commutation feature of the law is effec tually the helper of the poor. Strike it out, and every man in moderate circumstances must go into tho service if drawn, and not exempt, while every rich man will commute by substitution. There seems to be a very general belief that the rebellion must collapse within the coming six months. I rather incline to give it a little more time to subside—say a year. - , Washington, January 21, 1864, Being under no obligations to Mr. Lincoln for favors, possibly it may not seem to proceed from interested motives of a selfish character if Isay that .his.renomination and re-election seem ..most, likely to happen in 1864. Apart from .the almost universal uprising of the newspaper world in his favor, and which pre ceded, and doubtless influenced the recent ac tion of several State Legislatures, there seems to be a remarkable coincidence of purpose that “ this thing must be,” among the masses of the people in every loyal State. As to President-making, I have something of a horror of it, especially at this time, when so much else seems necessary to be first accom plished. But the people have taken the matter oat of tbe'hands of tho politicians, and must he permitted to carry it on. I have never, wit nessed so much feeling, and so much unan imity of will oiearly expressed, upon such a subject at so early a day* You will hear the subject canvassed everywhere —in thecars, in the depots, in the streets and in the saloons of tho great hotels, wherever you go. . ; Mr. Lincoln was considered a very popular man when first elected. But I have seen him on the street and in public places—not more than a year si nee—when his presence attracted not mnch more notice or comment than that of any of his Cabinet advisers. Now, all is changed. He never enters a public assembly now that there is not a spontaneous uprising and long continued applause. So that, to-day, no man seems so much respected and revered as this man Abraham Lincoln, who has occu pied the Executive chair for three most trying years of public disorder, and seems not to have been soured by abuse or spoiled by applause. Quiet, unobtrusive, shrinking from public dis play of himself, he has aged somewhat from the strain of cate; but he is, to all appearan ces, as truly modest, as severely plain, and as strictly upright and honorable this day, as be was when he became the Chief Magistrate of the republic. We have had no President for twenty years who has preserved his individuality so mark-, edly as has this plain Illinois lawyer. Most of his predecessors have permitted flattery to warp their characters until none but flatterers were tolerable to them. Mr. Lincoln cares little for any man, as snob, but much for the country. No man ever gained a favor of him by words of compliment. •Ho sees right through such things and stuns the sycophant with some close, practical, common-sense re mark. He offers no inducements to the press gang to sing his praises, but is seemingly con tent with the approval of bis own conscience. This will explain the eccentricities of tho Herald, which lauds him one day and abuses him the next. X jot down these well-known facts as matters of interest to many, and not for the purpose of aiding in this business of President-making. If nominated, none will support jiim more cheerfully. lie is what the nation has not had for a full term since the 'days of Jackson—an honest and upright President. If his enemies call him a fool, they never name him n knave, and I do not find, men here, of any party, who think him at all lacking in intellect or intelli gence. M. 11. G. Washinotos, January 22,186-4. I have waited for the subsidence of the waves of popular enthusiasm before writing a word ahopt the brilliant dehut of Miss Anna E- Dickinson in the Ilall of Representatives on Saturday night, 12th inst. She came by invi tation of the most eminent men in the country, and was greeted by an audience incomparably larger, more refined, more intellectual, and more appreciative than any person, male otf fe male, ever drew togetherin Washington. Uer address, which was upon the condition of-the country, was made for the benefit of the freed men. There were no deadheads, and no tick ets at loss than 50 cents. “ All the world” went to hear her, and “ all the world” have been enthusiastic in her praise ever since. Enough time Las elapsed since she electrified “ all the world” for one to write of her and her speech in a calm and rational matter. Miss Anna Dickinson is about 22 years of age, rather under medium height, gracefully formed and well poised. She has black hair, swept back from the forehead, which is fine, and artistically tucked under behind. She has dark eyes, full of expression, not nnpleasing features, and a modest carriage. Her voice is full-toned and deep, yet not at all masculine, and the manner of one not over confident but fully conscious of power. As a speaker she is master of the graces of oratory, and moves her audience as sbo wills. Probably the Hall of Representatives never resounded with a loftier eloquence than hors. There was no reaching after effect, no strained periods, no vain repetitions, no mannerism about bier address. She spoke as one having perfect command of her subject and of herself. Those who heard her no longer wonder that she wielded sa'h power last fall in our .State campaign. And here I cannot but speak of the indubit able evidences- of change right here in the po litical heart of the nation. Three years ago public opinion would not have tolerated such a breech of masculine privilege. Three years ago Miss Anno Dickinson could not have ad dressed the people of Washington save at the risk of a "baptism with stale eggs. I must in sist, therefore, that freedom of speech is more perfectly realized under northern than it was under southern rule. Then it meant license of coarse vituperation by gentleman (?) theaters. Now it means the very reverse. To show how favorably she impressed the people, I must mention that Dr. Sunderland, Chaplain of the Senate, and one of the ablest and most eloquent divines in the land, in bis prayer on Monday morning took occasion to return thanks for the gift of so excellent and wonderful a woman as Miss Dickinson. He regarded her as a great teacher of the people. Dr. S. is pastor of the first Presbyterian Church of Washington and one of the moat staid and proper of churches it is. I suspect that his endorsement of Miss D., will go far to com plete the change in public sentiment which now tolerates woman and the negro on the rostrum. jLet me say that lam glad such tol eration ii found. I. know from observation that this public is improved morally and re ligiously since the days of the old regime. M. H. C. A Rebel mail was captured a few days ago in West Virginia. Most of the letters had re marks confirming the stories of suffering, disaf fection, and despondency among tho Rebels, News from Chattanooga is to the 23d. Trains were then runningregularly to Nashville. The greatest distress exists in the Rebel army. Desertions are frequent and sometimes number over a hundred in one day. The Tennessee and Kentucky troops in the Rebel army are said to be kept under guard to prevent deser tion. Union recruits are arriving sufficient to balance the number of veterans going home. The Rebel army at Dalton is reported to be 30,000 strong, and so reduced in supplies that they arc killing their best mules for supplies of meat. Gen. Grant arrived at Chattanooga on Saturday morning. It seems that the Rebel Gen. Vance, recently captured near Strawberry Plains, Tehn., was a Major-General, and that four of his staff, who were captured in his company, were recognized as having been paroled at Vicksburg.'

'* Some have discouraged its organization, on the ground that articles procured with care and trouble, were appropriated for other purposes than those for which they were designed; that instead of affording relief to the suffering sol diers, they were used by untrustworthy per sons having them in charge. That such has been the case in many instan ces, there is no doubt; .but at the present time, the Commission has a safe and thorough organ ization. They have agents in the different corps and hospitals throughout the army, who, by a regular. Quartermaster’s method, account for all stores intrusted to them for distribution. The knowledge of these facts, will give gen eral satisfaction to those who are laboring in this noble cause, and encourage them to con tinue their work. I am pleased to see the interest taken in the welfare of our sick and wounded soldiers, by the lad'oj of Tioga county. , They have shown a record of patriotism worthy of example. By their efforts, they have secured the comfort of many a poor fellow, whoso appreciation of their kindness cannot be described.

Recruiting Service, I Second Corps, >■ Harrisbitrg, Fa., Jan. 15,1864. j Authority having been given me to recruit the 2nd Corps to fifty thousand (50,000) men, for such special service, under my command, ns may be designated by tbo War Department, I appeal to the citizens of Pennsylvania to aid me in filling up the rogimsnts and batteries of my command which owe their origin to the State. They are as follows ; 81al, 140tb, 116th, (battalion,) 148th, 53d, 145tb, 71st, 72d, 69th, and 106th Regiments of Infantry, and Batteries F and 6, Ist Pennsyl vania Artillery, and C and F, Independent Pa. Artillery. Until the Ist of March next, the following bounties will be paid by the General Govern ment : For veterans, §402 ; for others, §302. , All volunteers enlisted for this organization, will be accredited to the city, county, town, township, or ward, which they may elect as the placo to which they desire the credit given. When no such election is made, the enlisting officer will give crediftothe place of enlistment. Each locality is therefore interested in in creasing the number of enlistments to the ex tent of its quota in the draft; and any stimu lus given by local bounties or other efforts, will have the effect of preventing those who ’desire to volunteer, from leaving the places of their residence and enlisting elsewhere, where the inducements offered may be greater. The same regulations that have hitherto gov erned enlistments in this State, as to the per sons empowered to enlist, the rules for muster ing and for furnishing transportation and sup plies; will apply in this case. Any one desiring to enlist in either of these organizations, may do so in any part of the State, by making application to the District Provost Marshal, or any recruiting officer from the 2d Corps, no matter to what regiment said officers may belong. I have come among you as a Pennsylvanian, for tiie purpose of endeavoring to aid you in stimulating enlistments. As this is a matter of interest to all citizens of this State—its quota being still nearly 30,000 deficient—l earnestly call upon you all to assist by exerting the influence in your power in this important matter. To adequately reinforce, our armies in the field, is to insure that the war will not reach your own homes, and will be the means of bringing it to a speedy and happy conclusion, and of saving the lives of many of our brave soldiers, who would othcrwise.be lost by the prolongation of the war and in indeci sive -battles. It is only necessary to destroy the rebel ar mies now in the field. to insure a speedy and permanent peace. Let us all act with that fact in view. Let it not be said that PenhayWunia, which has already given so many of her cit£ zens to this righteous cause, shall now, at the eleventh hour, he behind her sister States in furnishing her quota of the men deemed neces sary to end the rebellion. Some States have filled their quotas ; others will do so; a little exertion on our part will soon fill all the deci mated regiments of the State, and obviate the necessity of a draft. Let it not be, that those organizations which have won for themselves and their State so much honor, shall pass out of existence for the want of patriotism in the. people. Unless these regiments ore filled to the minimum strength, they will aoou cease to exist. It will be neces sary to act quickly to insure success. Other States, by having used great .exertions, hnd by the inducements of local bounties, draw away your young men. By giving bounties at borne, and stimulating the State pride, yon will secure to your regiments that portion of the mala pop ulation whose circumstanpes readily permit them to take the field. „ Wujfield S.

The copperhead presses have endeavored to get up a prejudice against the Administration, by representing that it is in fault for tha stop page of exchanges. General Butler has just proved, in his peculiar and striking way, that it is the rebels who refuse to exchange, and who are in fault, and not the Government. He pnt five hundred rebel prisoners on hoard of a flag of truce boat, and sent them up to City Point; bo received in return fire hundred mea But when he was about to send another boat load of five hundred to City Point, the rebels refused to receive them and give ns the same number of men in exchange. "Will the TFbrid after this accuse Mr. Stanton of stopping tho exchange. Jeff. Davis deinands that wa shall give up at. once, all the prisoners in our possession, in ei.' change for those he holds. Now, we have be-’ tween forty-five and fifty thousand, and Davis holds of otfr men only between ten and fifteen thousand. No doubt Davis thinks ifia vary ha portant to reinforce his armies ; he would like to add to Lee, or to Longstreet, or to Johnston immediately, the forty or fifty thousand vetar; ans we hold. He thinks that iy asking for them he can get them—if only the copperhead press, and Congressmen of the same stripe,- id the North, will help him. But the trick has been exposed by Butler.
