GEORGE BERGNER
The Reliability of the New 'York Herald
In, the New York Herald of the 13th inst., the
following paragraph appears as a telegraphic
dispatch from Washington city:
OM. CAMERON AHD THE HE-ELECTION OF MIMI
DENT LINCOLN.
Simon Cameron Is here, as the bearer of the
resolutions of the Republicans of the Pennsyl
vania Legislature favoring the re-election of
Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Cameron's claim to the credit
of having procured the passage of these resoln-
lions has taken the friends of Mr. Chase com
pletely by surprise, as he was surely counted
among the strongest advocates of the election
of Mr. Chase. The sudden transfer of his affec
tions and efforts from the great financier to Old
Abe has created no little chagrin among the
particular adherents of the former.
The Washington correspondent of the Herald,
who indites the dispatches purporting to como
from all parts of the country, not only misstates
the facts connected with the position of the loya
men of the Pennsylvania Legislature, but he'
absolutely misrepresents Gen. Cameron in every
particular connected therewith. In the first
place, there worn no resolutions passed
by the Pennsylvania Legislature endors
ing President Lincoln ; but the endorse
ment was in the shape of an address, signed
by all the Union men of that body, approv
ing of the course pursued by the President,
and Insisting that the re-election of Abraham
Lincoln is essential to the restoration of the
Government in all the States now claiming to bo
out of the Union. In the second place, while
it is true that General Cameron favored and
urged on the loyal men of the Pennsylvania
Legislature, the signing and presentation of
such an address, he (Gen. C.) has not been in
Washington for more than a month, having
been detained at home in affectionate vigils by
the bed-side of a dearly beloved and dying eon.
So much for the statements of the Herald on the
subject of the "resolutions" of the Penna. Legis
lature and the presence of General Cameron in
Washington. The *whole story was a mere
fabrication of the eaves-droppers employed by
the Herald to manufacture sensation dispatches
for its columns.
In regard to Gen. Cameron's attitude-to
wards Secretary Chase, we hive no authority
to write a word, and yet we feel justified in de
claring that the feeling between these two dis
tinguished statesmen has always been and is
now, of the most friendly and cordial character.
Whatever Gen. Cameron may do in the con
test for the Presidential succession he does with
& conscientious motive that he is best serving his
country, and not with a desire to depreciate the ,
claims or interfere with the aspirations of any
who are candidates for the Chief Executive
office in the Union. The elevation of men,
in his opinion, should not interfere with the
success of measures; and because he may pre
far the re-election of the now ruling President,
it is not to be inferred on this ac
count that he makes the preference in depre
'elation of the compeers of Mr. Lincoln, but be
cause the re-election of that statesman and
patriot involves the salvation of freedom and
the Government.
The Inauguration of Gov. Curtin
The arrangements made for the second inau
guration of Gov. Andrew G. Curtin, are, as far
as possible, now complete ; and if we may judge
from the character of these, the spectacle will
be one of peculiar Interest, if not grandeur.
The ordinary- proceedings of inaugurating a
Governor of the Commonwealth, will be en
hanced on this occasion by the glorious fact
that the inauguration of a great and glorione
principle will also take place. With few ex
ceptions heretofore, the election of a Governor
of Pennsylvania only meant the elevation of a
man to executive power, where he dispensed a
certain amount of patronage, and distributed
among his supporters offices of trust and honor.
Events have changed all this, and now the ele
vation of a man means the success of a princi
ple, the enforcement of some vast policy in
which is involved the good or the evil of the
people. The election of Andrew G. Curtin to a
sekstli Gubernatorial term, involves this good
to an incalculable extent. Upon his success de
pended the strength of the national power.
Had he been defeated—had the principle and
the policy which he advocated been rejected—
the right of rebellion would have been established
and the triumph of treason become a fixed and
irresistible fact. Hence, on Tuesday next, it
will not be the inatigdation altogether of the
mere man, the representative of these results;
bat it will be the inauguration of the sublime
principlewith which he succeeded. The prestige
of the Government will be inaugurated on that
occasion in the presence of the people who have
given It force and power. And from that
inauguration, freedom, peace and prosperi I y will
derive the largest benefits!
—Th e gentlegien having in charge the ar-
rangements for the inauguration have given
the affair their utmost attention. It is'expect
ed that the display of military on the occasion
will be very grand., Already, replies to invita
tions have been received from various portions
of the Commonwealth, indicating that a large
nuniber of veteran troops willtemor the cere
monies with their presence. There could be no
thimg more fitting than the appearance of these
veterans on that occasion. They are the men wlto
perilled their lives in the support of the princi
ple by the advoc icy of which Andrew G. Curtin
succeeded before the people, and therefore
when he is again invested with civil power, the
approving presence of the warrior defenders
of the Government will be considered the
crowning glorwf the occasion. In addition to
the military, there will be a large number of
civil societies present, with as many of the
Loyal Union Leagues of the State as can pro,
, eurVransportation for the State Capital. Alto
gether, theifore, we anticipate a glorious dis
play in the second ,inauguration of Asousw
GREGG CURTIN.
Important Military Notice—The Enlist
ment of Veterans.
Major General Hancock publishes an impor
taut notice in the TELEGRAPH of to day, in ref
erence to the Second Corps, Army of the Poto
mac, and more particularly setting forth the
importance of filling up the Pennsylvania
regiments attached to that command. A
careful perusal of. this notice will impress
the people with the importance of at
once interesting themselves in the busi
ness of filling up the armies in the field. The
quota of Pennsylvania in the approaching draft
' amounts to 30,000 men.. In the State, at a
rough calculation, there are at least sixty thou
sand soldiers—that is men who have had more
or less experiencein the field, and forty of these
sixty thousand at least have been under fire,
have faced and fought the fo3 in some df the
hardest battles of the war. It is this material
that General Hancock now seeks to attach to his
command. He comes to his native State in
the name of the brava Pennsylvanians who
now fight beneath' his banners, to enure the
service, if possible, of entirely veteran troops,
but he' s of course also ready to enlist all who
come zealously and ardently to serve their
country.
At no limo in the history of the rebellion,
has the reinforcement of the national armies now
in the field been of more Importance. The rebels
have rallied to their su.ppert the aid of every
fighting man in the South. Southern society
has been drained of its youth and manhood ca
pable of bearing arms. - Every Southern family
has been robbed of its male members—so that
the rebel arnica now in the field contain all
that there is of .pilsical force in the revolted
States to sustain the cause of the confederacy.
If these forces can be properly net at the
opening of the spring campaign—if the govern
ment is now afforded the men to organize and
prepare for immediate active operations, we
honestly beijevo that the men who leave
Pennsylvania, an/ who escape the common
risks of battle, will be able to return to their
homes long before the harvests are cut in the
rural districts, long before the summer work
is over in any portion of the Commonwealth.
We believe this, because if the Government is
afforded the men, it will ba able early to crush
the rebel armies in the field—utterly to route
and scatter the deluded wretches who now up
hold treason—and when this is accomplished,
of course the confederacy goes to pieces, because
its civil representatives will not be able to call
i [another man into the field. A moment's consid
eration will establish these facts to the satisfac
tion of every man in the Commonwealth, and
when once convinced of these truths,duty points
the way into the army to assist in the realiza
tion of these results. Oar veteran brethren. In
the field ask us now to join them in deal
ing the final destructive blow to treason.--
After having endured years and months of hard
ship and peril, the soldiers in the field appeal
to their fellow citizens at home to rally in the
support of the old government, the old Union,
and the dear old flag, and are willing that the
glory of the final triumphshall be shared by
all equally.
We trust the appeal of Maj. Gen. Hancock
will be carefully ensidered by the able-bodied
active young men of the Commonwealth. We
trust that it will reach the hearts of the vete
rans whose time is about expiring ; and that it
will meet with the response which its import
ance, and the glory of the cause in whose be
half it is made,demands. Maj. Gen. Hancock is a
Pennsylvanian, and hence his anxiety to secure
the filling up of the Pennsylvania regiments in
his command. Next to the cause of Gls gov
ernment, the honor of his own State is as dear
to him as his own reputation. Hence his de
sire to rally in his command the full power of
the 30,000 men due from .this State in the
coming draft.
—Our cotemporaries all over the Common
wealth, could do the-cause of the Government
no greater service than by copying the notice
published by Maj. Gen. Hancock in to-day's
'TSLEGIREPEI, and urge upon the people every
[where throughout the rural districts, in cities,
towns and hamlets, the necessity of at once
sally to , the filling up of the 2d Corps,
Army of the Potomac. We earnestly recom
mend to the publishers of newspapers in the
State, the immediate insertion of the notice in
question.
An Item for the State Treasurer and Au
ditor Gineral to Explain:
In the BePort of the State Treasurer we have
set forth the gratifying fact that there is in
the Treasury a surplus of several millions of
dollars. Of course the State Treasurer is not
entitled to any particular credit for the fact
that the State Government is possessed of this
vast amount of money at this particular time.
But when the fact is known that the just claims
of the soldier have been repeatedly rejected at
the Trea \ sury, and that the Auditor General
has more than once refused to issue warrants
for such claims, on the plea that, there was no
money in the Treasury to meet such demands,
the question will naturally arise, why is it that
this overplus of millions now reported was
allowed to accumulate, while the claims of our
fighting men went begging in the market for
purchasers at almost any discount ? We demand
that the soldier has a right to know why all
this is so—why he was kept out of his just
dues when the Treasury was overflowing ? The
Board of Claims patiently and fairly examined
the accounts of all phrties having demands on
the State. These accounts properly itdjctsted
went regularly before the Auditor and Trea
surer, but they were stopped there with the
plea that there was no money in the Treasury.
At-the.same time a gang of huckstering poll.
ticians in this city, scheming and speculating
sharpers, were parehasiritt the just claims of the;
Soldier—shaving our fighting men to the last
peany—and are even doing- this now, the
claimants being under the impression that there
is no money in the Treasury to satisfy their
claims, while it is boastingly set forth by the
Treasurer that the Treasury is overflowing.
—We may have occasion hereafter to refer
to the facts involved in the delay of the pay.
ment of just military claims. So far as the
Board of Claims Is concerned, there can be no
complaint preferred in that direction, as no
delay attended the settlement of claims coming
before that body. Bat that there should have
bee:
a hesitancy, and even a refusal to pay
claims after they were properly pasted, when
the Treasury was full of money, is a matter
involving an injustice which others must ex.
plain, and which the soldiers will not permit
to pass without satisfaption:
The Expulaton of Garret Davis from the
11. S• Senate.
When the resolution to expel Garret Davis
was offered in the U. S. Senate, we supposed
that it was a mere cautionary movement, made
to admonish not only Davis, but all such as he,
that henceforth no man will be permitted to
insult, with impunity, the dignity of our high
est legislative bodies, by the utterance of rank
treason. Congress has tolerated the utterances
of the sympathizers with treason beyond the
endurance of the people's patience. The pro
ceedings of the Senate and the House of Rep
resentatives have been already too foully dis
graced by just such men as Garret awls.
genets the motion for his expulsion is well
Um& and judicious. If it has the influence to
silence the voices of such noisy benders of loyal
men as Davis and others of his ilk, it will have
effected its object; but if the country is to be
outraged by the persisteney of Davis and his
companions in sympathy for treason, then the
Senate will bo only responding to what is the
unanimous desire of loyal men, by the prompt
expulsion of the traitor.
—The example of the resolution for the ex
pulsion of Garret Davis from the U, S. Senate,
could be profitably emulated by every legisla
tive body In the country. The man who Is not
solely and wholly and conscientiously devoted
to the euppoit of the Government—who IS no
willing to facilitate the most rigorous opera
tions to end the war of treason—is not fit to
occupy a place in the councils of the State or
Nation, and the sooner he is expelled the better
for the peace and prosperity of the people.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
HEADQUARTERS BEURUITLEG SERVICE,
SKCOND °oars,
limuunuan, N., Jan. 15, '64.
Authority having been given me to recruit
the 2d Corps to fifty thousand (50,000) men for
such Fpecial service, under my command, as
may be designated by the War Department,. I
appeal to the citizens of Pennsylvania to aid
me in filling up the regiments and batteries of
my command, which owe their origin to •the
State.
They are as follows :
81st, 140th, 116th, (battalion,) 148th, 53d
145th,_71at, 72d, 69th and 106th regiments of
infantry, and batteries , F and G, let Palma.
Artillery, and C and F, Independent Penns.
Artillery.
'Until the let of March next, the following
bounties will be paid by the General Govern
ment
For veterans $402; for others $BO2.
All volunteirs enlisted for this organization
will be accredited to the city, county, town,
township or ward which they may elect as the
place to which they desire the credit given. •
When no such election is made the enlisting
officer will give credit to the place of enlist
ment.
. Each locality is therefore Interested in in
creasing the number of enlistments to the ex
tent of its quota in the draft, and any stimulus
given by local bounties or other efforts will
have th 6 effect of preventing those who desire
to volunteer, from leaving the places of their
residence and enlisting elsewhere, where the
inducementroffered 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 mus
tering and for furnishing transportation and
supplies, 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 which regiment said
, officers may belong.
I have come among you as a Pennsylvanian,
for the 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, I earnestly call upon you all to
assist, by exerting the influence in your power
in this important matter. To adequately rein
force our armies in the field is to insure that
the liar will not reach your 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 otherwise be lost
by the Prolongation of the war and in indecisive
battles.
It is only necessary tp, destroy the rebel
armies now in the field to insure a speedy and
permanent peace, let us all act with that fact
in vies; let it snot be said that Pennsylvania
which' has already given so many of her citi
zens to this rigliteouscause, should now, at the
eleventh hour, be behind her sister States in
furnishing her quota of the men deemed ne
canary 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
decimated 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 pitriotism in the people. Billets
these regiments are filled to the minimum
strength they will soon cease to exist. it will
be necessary to act quickly to ineuremuccess.—
Other States by having used greater exertions,
and by the inducements of local bounties draw
away your young men. By giving bounties at
home, and stimulating the State pride you will
secure to your regiments that portion of the
male population whose circumstances readily
permit - them to take the field.

Model Operations of Steamboat Owners'
FORUM 'MONROE, JEW. 14
The Military Commission, now in session in
Norfolk, of which Brig. Gen. J. L. Wietar is
President, have investigated another model
steamboat operation.
The steamer Nellie Baker was chartered in
February, 1862, at $350 per day. Capt. A. W.
Cater, Capt. Ohas. Spear and J. H. B. Long, all
of Boston, were the owners.
The Nellie Baker cost $19,800. She was In
the employ of the Government about ten
months, receiving $106,200 charter money.—
she was then sold to the United States for
$42,000, the owners realizing the snm of $148,-
000. In addition to this the profits derived
from the sale of refreshments was about $25
per day during the time she was running from
Old Point to General .114'Ciellan's army, and she
of all her coal gratis , from the Government.
•
Another neat case is that of an old canal
beige called the Mies Mary, which was worth
from $BOO to $9OO. She was chartered in No
vember. 1862, at the exorbitant rate of $26
per day, and remained in charter until she
earned her patriotic owners $4,000. She wee
nominally a prison hulk, but the evidence - goes
to show that she was used a very small por
tiern of thejime. Her owners were the noted
John Corblents and John F. Plokernell of Bal
timore, who figured in the Grimes committee
of investigation. The testimony thus goes to
show that a most culpable lack of system pre
vailed in the Quartermaster's Department
during the year 1862.

XXXVIII Congress--First Session
SENATE
Mr. Fessonden (tie.) stated that upon exam
ination he had found that the opinion which he
expressed yesterday in the Senate, that the
commutation paid inlreleased the State from
their proper quota, waserroneous. It was im
possible to construe the commutation clause in
any other way than that the procuration of sub
stitutes, or the payment of the commutation in
lieu thereof, exempt; the State from the quota.
Mr. Clark offered an amendment providing
that the money paid'for commutation shall be
applied to procure substitutes in the district
from which the person was drafted.
Mr. Grimes (Iowa) opposed Mr. Clark's
amendment, and did not think it should be
left to the Secretary of War to furnish black
substitutes to fill the quotas of States, unless
such substitutes were citizens of the State in
question. .
Mr. Fesaenden supported Mr. Clark's amend
ment as a measure of justice to the States.
