The Telegraph In siNew Dress
We present the EVENJONG TEL; GRAPH in a
new dress to-day, composed of entirely new
founts of brevier and nonpareil type, with new
co lumn rules Bc. The cost for such an im
provement is just double that which it would
have become necessary to expend two years ago
for the same material. Our readers will learn
from these facts, the necessity of our asking
them to share with us this great expense of
publishing the TELEGRA.PH. Nor is it only in
printing material that the price has thus in
creased. Labor and the cost of all the attendants
in a printing office have also increased, render
ing it absolutely a matter of the utmost vigi
lance, industry and economy, on the part of all
publishers, to secure the financial success of
their 'newspaper enterprises.
The circulation of the Mormrso and the
EVENING editions of the TELEGRAPH is now
greater than that of any daily newspaper west
of Philadelphia. Our morning edition finds
its way into all the towns and villages along
the Lebanon Valley, the Pennsylvania, the
Northern Central and the Cumberland Valley
railroads, where it circulates immensely, and
where it affords the earliest means of con
veying the news of the day to the people.
The Morning edition of the TELEGRAPH is al
ways in advance of the Philadelphia journals,
in the regions named, at least eight hours,
with all important intelligence, and on this
account it has become immensely popular in
the localities where it circulates.
We intend, as heretofore, to continue in our
efforts to render the TELEGRAPH a reliable
newspaper. Discarding the ordinary sensa
tions of the times, and restricting our columns
to such intelligence as is made up only of
facts, we shall continue to look for that libe
ral support with which the great reading pub
lic now sustain our enterprise. At the same
time,while our columns are thus made worthy
the confidence of our readers, we shall with
unabated ardor support the cause of our coun
try, defending the personal and political
rights of those who uphold that cause, and as
far as is in our power, labor to make all
interests subserve the great interests of civil
liberty and national unity.
The Delay in the Organization of the Leg
ialatures as it Effects the Cause of Ed
vocation.
Not the least disastrous effect of the delay
in the organization of the Legislature, by the
factious course of the minority in the Senate,
is that which is now interfering with the
operation of the Common School System.
During the session of the last Legislature, a
law was enactedifroviding for the distribution
of the school fund, pro rato, among the
school districts, with the number of scholars
actually attending the various schools in each
district. The amount to which each school
district would be entitled, under this arrange
ment, was to be-ascertained from the reports
of the different ,County Superintendents of the
Common Schools.•- The difficulty of arriving
at a correct and aniznpartial estimate from the
data afforded by these reports, is now severely
testing the clerical force of the School De
partment. Indeed it has been found, that no
correct estimate can be made, and that any
attempt to distribute the appropriation as
the late law provides, would result in great
injury to a large majority of the school dis
tricts. in the Commonwealth. As an instance,
some of the largest and most flourshiug school
districts in the State, if the appropriation
were distributed as is provided in the law of
1863, would be sufferers from the fact that
they-would not receiVeby . many thousand dol
lars the sum usually disbursed to them. Other
districts, where it was an up-hill business even
with the aid of the State, to support their
schools, would be left almost without any
share in the bounty of the Commonwealth,
were the law carried into force.
In view of these facts, the Superintendent
of Common Schools, after consultation with
the State authorities, has concluded to with
hold a distribution of the School fund, until
the law on the subject can be modified so as
to avoid the manifest injustic which it now
inflicts upon the cause of educati6n. The
delay in the organization of the Senate has
tended to increase this embarrassment.—
While a clique of angry and hungry politicians
are wrangling for a monopoly of the offices in
the Senate—while an impertinent and aggres
sive minority are essaying to destroy the great
principle of the rule of the majority, they are
also dealing a ruinous blow, at least for a
time, to the cause of education. By the de
lay in the organization of the Senate, many
of the school districts in the State will be
compelled to suspend almost for the term.—
Even if the appropriation, as it is now fixed
by law, were disbursed to the different districts,
it would not help the cause of education. The
effect would still be the same, as in that case,
for the want of an adequate amount to conduct
the schools, many of the districts would abso
lutely be compelled to suspend altogether.
—This is one of the effects of the wrangling
of a few hot-headed politicians, intent on se
curing the 'control of the patronage of the
Senate. It is worthy of the consideration of
the people; and when the majority in the Sen
ate can bring their working force to influence
and control the actions of that body, we trust
that no concession will be made to the minori
ty. Under ordinary circumstances, minori
ties have rights and are entitled to the same
consideration in the government as majorities;
but a minority, as in the case of the
senate, attempts forciblyto control any bianch
of the government, they become revolutionists
of the most desperate character. and should
be accordingly treated,
-
The Work.of a Pat;lot....The , ,pp of
Pennsylvania Regiments.
We pt, this afternoon, a characteristic
military oclamation from the Commander
in-chief of the Pennsylvania militia. It was
issued for the purpose of facilitating enlist
ments to fill up the different Pennsylvania
regiments attached to the Second Army Corps,
commanded by Major General • Hancock,
and the Ninth Corps, commanded by Ma
jor General Burnside, and appeals with
stirring eloquence to the valor of the
ardent young fighting men, not only at
home, but to those in the army whose terms
of service are about to expire. Gov Curtin is
extremely anxious that the full quota of troops
called for from Pennsylvania, should be raised
without a resort to a draft. He is ready to
lend the full influence of his official power
as well as the force of his great personal
energy, to the re-enforcement of the armies
which will remain in the field for the cam
paigns that will become necessary during the
approaching Springsmd Summer. Hence the
promptness with which he goes to the support
of Major General Hancock and Major General
Burnside. In the Second and Ninth Army
Corps; commanded respectively by these dis
tinguished heroes, are regiments from this
State, and it is now almost essential to com
plete success, that these regiments should be
promptly filled up, and thus rendered efficient
once more for active operations against the
enemy.
Pennsylvania, we earnestly believe, is de
termined to furnish her quota of troops under
the present call, without a resort to the draft.
The efforts of her State authorities seem to
tend to this result. The liberality with which
municipalities are offering bounties, with the
auguries that a prompt re-enforcement of the
armies in the field will speedily end the war,
all indicate that our glorious old Common
wealth will make her final struggle for the
complete safety of the National Government
as sublime as was her first blow to stay the
progress of rebellion.
Who has been Extravagant'
During all the progress of the war, and even
this morning, the Tory Organ as well as all
the organs of toryism in the land, haVe been
denouncing the Government for its extrava
gance while conducting the war fur the safety
of the Union. But the bubble of extrava
gance, as it has been blown from the pipes of
the sympathizers with treason, has at length
collapsed, and we now have in the confession of
a favorite of these same organs, an explanation
Of the extravagance which has attended the
military operations of the Government. The
report of Major General M'Clellan shows .that
he wasted more money in his wild schemes
while controlling the Army of the Potomac,
than any other four Major Generals in the ser
vice, while he accomplished absolutely noth
ing of benefit to the country. M'Clellan was
really carrying out what would be the policy
of the Democratic party, were its leaders in
power. During his Virginia career, instead of
obeying the orders of his superiors in autho
rity, he was responding to the flattery of the
demagogues of the Democratic party, yielding
to their counsel, attempting to carry out their
plans, until he, himself, indiscreetly confesses
that he squandered one-third of all the money
it has already cost the people to put down the
slave-holders' rebellion. This is a most sin
gular commentary on the 'charges of the Tory
press that the Government is extravagant, and
shows. conclusively who is responsible for the
alleged extravagance.
URGENT NECESSITY FOR INCREASING ORR
CAVALRY FORCE. —We will have by next spring
the strongest and the beit drilled army since
the beginning of the rebellion ; but there is
one fact which deserves the attention of the
Government, In the reverses which we have
suffered, it has been the rebel cavalry which
has given us the severest blows. In a calm
try as large as this cavalry will always render
the most efficient services, and our cavalry
force is far from sufficient to support the
movements of our numerous veterans. With
a force of one hundred thousand cavalry,
which could be raised before next spring, our
army would be the most efficient in the world.
The Filling of Pennsylvania Regiments
HOW TO AVOID THE DRAFT

PROCLAMATION OF GOVERNOR CUR TR
.._....---. .
HuAruplurrnits P. M.,
ADJUTANT GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT,
Hamusstrao, January 21st, 1864. I .
The War Department having authorized
Major General Winfield S. Hancock and Major
General Ambrose E. Burnside, two of the most
distinguished commanders in our army, to re
cruit the Second and Ninth Army Corps, now
under their respective commands, to fifty
thousand men each, for such duty as may be
sj?ecially assigned to said Corps by the War
Department, I address myself to the patriotic
and loyal citizens of Pennsylvania, earnestly
invoking them to lend their ' active aid to
Generals Hancocl3 and Burnside in the prose
cution of such measures as they may adopt,
under the regulations of the War Department,
governing enlistments in this State to fill up
the Pennsylvania regiments and batteries of
these noble Corps.
They comprise the following Pennsylvania
regiments and batteries, viz :
In the Second Army Corps, commanded by
Major General Hancock, are the 53d, 69th,
71st, 72d, 81st, 106th, 116th, 140th, 145th and
148th regiments, and Independent batteries C
and F, and batteries F and G of the Ist Penn
sylvania artillery.
In the Ninth Army Corps, commanded by
Major General Burnside, are the 45th, 48th,
50th, 51st and 100th regiments, and Durell's
Independent Battery D.
The reinforcement of our victorious armies
in the field is the only means of bringing the
rebellion to an early close, and of forever seal
ing the fountain of civil war. Let us then
maintain.the illustrious record which those
gallant armies have already won, and effect
ively aid the Government in securing a glori
ous future to 'our country, by filling up their
ranks now greatly reduced by disease and the
casualties of the field.
Full information regarding bounties and en
listments in any of the Pennsylvania organi
zations attached to the Second andliinth Army
Corps, will be found in the published cfieulars
of Major Generals Hancock and Burnside.
By order of A. G. CURTIN, -
Governor, &c.

The FiveaTlW . eiiti Loan.
AS the sale Of this popular loan progressed
it rose in public atrial., so that on Thursday
last, when the closing sales were made, the
amount sold, advanced from four millions on
the previous day to sixteen millions. Another
notable fact is that about ten millions of the
loan were subscribed for, before the Agents
and Sub-Treasurers could stop the subscrip
tions, over and above' the five hundred mil
' lion dollars authorized by the Act of Congress.
Facts like these are the highest possible evi
dence of the faith of the people in the resour
ces of the Government and in its power ulti
mately to conquer the Rebellion and restore
the National unity. They show one other
gratifying truth, which it required this war, or
some:like terrible trial, to reveal and-make
plain to ourselves and to all the world, namely,
that the strength of our Federal Government
is like that of an arch, which increases with
the pressure that is brought to bear upon it.
The credit of the Treasury is better now than
it was when the war began. Its loans to-day
are taken with more alacrity, in larger amounts,
and at lower rates of interest, than in the out
set of our troubles. As the conflict with the
Rebellion stretches out in time, and the debt
it imposes augments, popular patriotism rises
higher under the test, and popular confidence
in the invincible financial power of the Gov
eniment grows stronger and firmer.
These are results brimful of encouragement
for the friends of the country. They prove
that our Government, when originally insti
tuted, was based on the best and strongest of
all foundations, the consent, affections and in;
terests of the people, and being so founded, as
on a rock, it will hereafter be recorded in his
tory that when the winds came and the rains
beat upon it, the sacred fabric did not fall.
. In estimating the success of the Five-Twenty
loan,the mode of its negotiation is an imports
ant item. The Secretary of the Treasury :
projected it on the idea that if the Govern
ment was to be permanently sustained in this
fearful crisis, it could only be so sustained by
the people, and to them the Government
should m i ke an early and direct appeal. The
people, in taking the loan, have not only vin
dicated the sagacity of Mr. Chase, but they
have justified the assurance that there is
hardly any point to which they will not cheer
fully go in supplying out of their own means
the necessities of the national exchequer. Nor
was the wisdom of Mr. Chase less displayed
in themethod he adopted toinake the loan ac
cessible to the people. He invoked no great,
fiscal corporations to aid him. He interposed
between the loan and the purchasers no com
bination of bankers and capitalists. He boldly
threw aside all such complicated machinery,
which would at once haye embarrassed the
Departnient and the loan takers. His plan
committed the sale of the five-twenties (out
side of the regular United states sub treasurers
and depositaries,) to one sole General Agent,
who was hold in heavy bonds to the, Govern
ment for the faithful execution of his trust,
and who was charged with all the labor and
responsibility it devolved on himalone . under
the constant supervision 'of the Secretary of
the Treasury. This simplified the whole thing.
It relieved the Treasury Department from a
vast amount of onerous and difficult work
which it could notpossibly have performed ;
it secured it the utmost economy, safety; and
expedition in the sale of the bonds ; and it
threw upon one completely accolintable per
son the whole business of the negotiation, to
gether with the choice, control, and sponsor-
Ship for all the agencies and means he might
emply for effectually accomplishing his Her
culean task. And now that the grand result Of
the Secretary's plani is before us, more than
consummated, in little over nine months of ef
fort, who can deny its wisdom? Who 'Will
yet believe that a different system avould have
worked equally well?
It is but simple justice to say here, how
ever; that the general agent of the loan per
formed his work with signal ability and fidel:
ity. It demanded all his time, thought and
exertions, and he gave them up totally to the
business. If he has, gained the personal
credit of great success, it should be recollected
that'he took upon himself, in the beginning;
the risk of great failure. And it may also be
added, that if those who have envied him his
agency for the sale of its supposed profits.
could have had a full appreciation of the vast
personal toil, care and risk it entailed, they
probably would not hare accepted the under
taking _for all its commissions.. It is alSo
worthy of remark that the intrinsic difficulties
of the agency were greatly increased by Mili-,
tart' disasters, from time to time, fears of Sor
eign coMplications, and the elgrts of a"dis
loyal press to injure the credit of the Gov
ernment and embarrass the sales of its secu
rities. All these, and other like facts, -fairly
go to excite a just public admiration of the
successful manner in which the work of ne
gotiating the five-twenty loan was done, and
to effectually silence all malignant criticism
upon this subject.
Success such as has marked the history ; of
this splendid financial measure of Mr. Chase,
through all its progress, from its inception !to
its brilliant close, is at once the highest proof
of its merit and the best possible reward which
those who originated it and carried it
„gut
could receive or desire. The immense saving
in cash to the Government; which has resulted
from the increased confidence and prompt pay
effected by this successful mode of negotia
tion, and the still more important result of
restored confidence in the fimmeiel credit, of
the nation, on the part of our people and ,all
the world, are facts patent to everybody.---yi t ..
