HARRISBURG, PA. Tuesday Afternoon, April 30, 1861. THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY. No branch of the public service is of more importance than the Medical Department, and the suggestion of a correspondent of a Philadel phia paper on the subjectshould be acted upon, both as regards the selection of skillful and ex perienced persons to purchase medicines for the use of the Pharmaceutists in the field, as well as the selection of skillful Surgeons. The practice of Surgeons employed in the public service giving an order to an apothecary, who fills it without regard to quantity or price, is exceedingly to be deprecated. The Governor has been peculiarly fortunate thus far in the selection of his officers, but it is not expected that he is acquainted with the medical standing of the numerous body of Sur geons who are applicants for commissions in the different regimen ts. A correspondent re commends that the establishment of a Medical Board of Examiners at Harrisburg would obvi ate much of the difficulty under which he must labor in making the selection of his medical staff. We submit the suggestion to those in power. THE GOVERNOR'S MESSSAGE. We have only time this afternoon to thank Governor: Curtin, in the name of the people of Pennsylvania, for the bold and manly position he has taken in his message to the special ses sion of the Legislature, convened in Harrisburg to-day. It is the first executive document that has been laid before any of the legislative bodies of the loyal states, refering to the rebel lion which now prevails in the States that I have renounced their loyality. Gov. Curtin takes the lofty position, that this government, framed for specific objects and founded in prin ciples that are eternal, cannot and shall not be broken up to serve the visionary aims and ends of misguided ambition. With a written Con stitution, there can be no mistake in its purpo ses, no misapprehending its powers, and there fore no necessity to seek its violent overthrow. The interests of the commonwealths of this na tion are all equal in its guarantees—their in fluence is equal for good, their power for evi the same when they suffer passion or resent ment to lead them astray. Therefore, in an hour like this, of great public and private peril, it is most fitting and appropriate that the Governor of a sovereign state should boldly interpose hie Executive power by invoking the legislature of his state to provide the most ample and prompt means for the deliverance of the country from its embarrassments and dangers. The recommendations of the message were foieshadowed in an editorial that appeared in Saturday afternoon's TELEGRAPH. The organi zation of a military force for the protection of our line of territory lying in juxtaposition with that of States that are either in open or secret rebellion with the Federal Government is, of course, of a practical necessity and must be en. couraged by the most prompt legislation. The other references to the forces now organized by the State, will also meet with approval, while the manner in which the message defends the right of our people to march through any terri tory for the defence of a common capital, will assuredly call forth the enthusiastic response of every true heart in Pennsylvania. Gov. Cur tin feels and declares that the honor of the Keystone State has been tarnished by a south ern mob ; he feels and declares the horror ex cited by the murder of our citizens, and if the dignity of his position had permitted him an expression in an official paper, there is little doubt that he would have declared the purpose of the people of Pennsylvania to avenge these wrongs sooner or later, and without delay wipe out the disgrace which has been heaped upon the State. We commend the business suggestions of the message to our readers. The details which its suggestions will necessarily create, are of a character such as become necessary in exigen cies like the present. In this movement and in the sentiment so boldly expressed by the Executive, he will have the certain support of the people of this State, as well as the appro val of the citizens of the Union. 0/1E OF TEM Tamura to the people of the North which the rebels of the South are un consciously paying them, is in the fact that all the women and children who can be removed from the rebel country are Bent to the North for refuge and safety. There is neither, it ap• pears, in the South for defenceless women and helpless children. In this tribute the people of the South admit that the very elements and in stitutions they so much defend are not able to stand alone. They are destructable in them selves, and unable to bear the test either of revolution or rebellion. What better evidence is needed of the power of free institutions and the influence of the free North?— Even in war, our enemies send their most pre cious possession (their wives and children) into our midst for protection. The North accepts their flying wives and children, not as hostages, but as sisters, whb sutler by the perverseness of those who should be more solicitous for their safety. The wives and children of our exas perated and insane brethren of the South are welcome to the hospitality and safety of the free homes of the North, until their husbands and fathers learn to love them and their coun try more sincerely. ME SUMMER CAMPAIGN. Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and Indians, operating jointly as well as separately, will doubtless prosecute the Summer campaign with a vigor and an energy that must surprise our Southern rebel cousins. Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana are themselves able to crush this rebel lion, and to crush it, too, without firing a gun. They can at their will hold the entire northern frontier of the Slave States, cut off the provis ions which sustain them, and effectually dam age the already insignificant trade of the border States. Unable to cope in numbers or strength with the people of the free States, the rebels are calculating an an encounter between the army of the Government and the disease of their climate, but in this they may be disap pointed. With the capital safe, with Maryland re-enlightened and brought back to her senses, and the mob of Baltimore chastised and hu miliated, the summer campaign may rest on the border. Western Virginia has declared her purpose of standing by the Union, even if it becomes necessary to separate from the eastern portion of the State. Under such circumstan ces, it would be easy ito take possession of Richmond, and to hold the Old Dominion by force of arms, whore her ancient faith and noble ancestry, if both were animate and alive, would undoubtedly place her, viz : firm in her devotion to the Constitution and laws of the land. Virginia may have men, but she has neither money or credit, or means of sustaining an army to carry on a lengthened campaign. Twenty-five thousand men could march from one end of the Old Dominion to the other, and encounter no fiercer opposition than the blustering of the Wises and the trea chery of the Tylers. They could hold the city of Richmond, while the remainder of the Federal L troops were protecting the borders.— As the winter approached, after the gathering of the harvests of the Western and Middle States, an army could be organized such as would place all opposition at defiance, march to Montgomery, and take Jeff Davis with the surprise his vanity and ambition have long needed. There is nothing either improbable or impracticable in such a plan of operation. It would not necessarily be a war of aggression or invasion. The march of the Federal troops through its own territory, the territory of its sovereign states, whose sovereignty has been violated and disgraced by usurpation, would be I an act of mercy, tending to its own vindi cation, and the ',re-assertion of the rights of its citizens, instead of an invasion of any of their sovereign privileges. It would not be aggressive to rescue the people from the pbrenzy of a mob, to prevent the oonfiscation of their property, and the incarceration of their persons in loathsome cells, as punishment for their refusal to fight under the banner of trea son. An army of frce mechanics marching through the benighted and prejudiced regions of the south, would have an immense influence on the future of the people of those States. The knowledge which they could dispense, the evidence of power which they could exhibit, the material of their genius accompanying their march, would dazzle the eyes of the south ern laboring men with a wonder more brilliant than that which once marked the triumphal marches of the armies of Macedonia and Rome. —That the operations of the government will lead to its vindication and the perpetuity of the Union, we never once doubted. It has the power to do so, and while indulging in the speculations such to ate contained in this arti cle, we only express the popular desire for practical results from the crisis which has been forced on the nation. TWO FAIR CONCLUSIONS We are forced to two conclusions while re viewing the embarrassing circumstances and dangers ebbing and flowing around the gov ernment. Had Abraham Lincoln openly and publicly attempted to pass through the mob town of Baltimore, while on his way to Wash ington, he would have been assassinated by the ruffians who laid in wait for his appearance. They were prepared for that purpose, had sworn to have his life, and when they were disappointed, they raved like hungry tigers, frustrated in their hunt for blood. The other conclusion that forces itself on us is the cer tainty that had John C. Breckenridge been elected President the title of every white labor ing man to freedom would have been as liter ally obliterated and destroyed as John C. Breckinridge has since destroyedfils own proud title of a loyal American citizen, and become a bold and unscrupulous traitor. The plot was all arranged. It was concocted at Charleston, and at Charleston it was announced. The plan of these rebels did not spring from the election of Abraham Lincoln. It was not an antagonism to Republican princi- ples, nor_ any fear of the principle of a republican organization. Altogether, the treason which Breckenridge hoped to strengthen and consumate by his own election, was the result of an ancient aristocratic opposition to free labor, now attempting for the last time to gain power in the South. The reader will bear us out in our conclusion, and ponder well the dreadful dangers the country has just escaped. As we move forward in crushing the rebel lion that has superceeded the effect which would have followed the result, such as the election of Breckenridge or the assassination of Lincoln, let us guard well every avenue to the safety of the Union, and provide for treason hereafter, by at once making a terrible exam ple of the traitors. AMONG THOSE who have been voluntarily zealous in efforts to aid the State in its labor to sustain the National Administration, there is no man in Pennsylvania who deserves more credit than John A. Wright, of Mifflin county. He left to Its own charge a very large business at home, and came to Harrisburg with the only and the disinterested motive of serving his State. In this service he has been most assidi one in a hundred different respects, from the details of business to the most valuable coun sel and support. Such men are seldom known, and are mostly satisfied with a consciousness of having done their duty. But they deserve and must have the appreciation and gratitude of the people. Pennoptuaniri iil Zettgraph, znesZtap 'Afternoon, Iprit, 30, 1661. A LADS writes to us on the subject of the promptness with which the ladies of Harris burg have responded to the call of assisting with their needles in providing haversacks for the volunteers, and desires to know whether, as their work passes through so many hands before it reaches the Quarter-Master's depart. ment, the State will be charged for the same. All we can write in reply to our fair correspond ent is, that the State should not be asked tom for this work, the voluntary contribution of the la dies, and if money is drawn from the treasury for such a purpose, i will be a baser fraud than any that has yet been perpetrated on the peo ple of Pennsylvania. if our lady correspond ent will write to the Auditor General, Thomas, E. Cochran, the object she aims at will be much better accomplished than it can be by our dis 7 cession of the subject. In this connection we are also authorized to state that the ladies of the different churches, with the most commend able zeal, are busily engaged in preparing bed clothing, lint, &c., for the accommodation and service of the volunteers. All this is done voluntarily—the free contribution of beauty to valor—and in return for which no greater in sult could be offered than the intimation that it was performed for pay. The ladies love their country, its liberty and its cause, with a zeal that cannot, perhaps, shoulder a musket or wield a sword, but with a fervor that prompts them to deeds of loving kindness, and genuine acts of mercy and assistance. ENGLAND will not recognize the rebel govern ment, based on the principles of universal slavery. This, of course, settles the diplomatic intercourse of the rebels with the governments of Europe. The refusal of England will be fol lowed by similar refusals in every Court of the civilized and christian world. Not a nation on earth will bind itself in alliance of defence or comity with a band of men who stand on the principle that rebellion against truth is the only way to correct error, and that treason is deemed a higher merit than honest devotion to a practical, reasonable, just and liberal govern ment. Jeff. Davis and his confederate traitors will next be compelled to turu their attention to less civilized nations. An offer to the King of Dahomey or the Emperor of Morocco would perhaps be more successful than the one pro posed to the virtuous and liberal Queen of the English. How strange it must read to Northern eyes, what amongst us scarcely excites a remark, that among the subscribers to the Confederate Loan at Montgomery, were two negresses, taking jointly $4OO. Still more strange, that in the vicinity of the same city, a wealthy planter asks leave to arm his negroes and form them into a company, offering to commend them himself in any services which they might be ordered.—Mobile Register. All this would be very strange, did not "northern eyes" view this infatuation of igno rance in a different light from that in which it is viewed by the slave owners. The Mont gomery negroes had no other alternative to save their lives than to give up their money, as refusal would have entailed confiscation and death. As to the wealthy planter arming his slaves and compelling them to fight, being an evidence of a slave's devotion either to his master or his slavery, is evidently false. It is only the evidence of the degradation to which the human soul and purpose can be brought by the institution. I9£ WERE wrong, yesterday, in stating that Col. Longenecker was in command at Camp Curtin, that duty devolving on Lieut. Col. W. H. R. Hangen, who is an officer of experience and ability. GOVERNOR Boleros, of Delaware, has issued a proclamation calling out troops to defend the Union. A CANADIAN has discovered that the insect foud on the common black spruce yields a dye of great beauty resembling cochineal. A SHORT time ago a man became as complete ly "wrapped in thought" that he was tied up, labled, and sent off on the "train of ideas." THERE is a colored man in Charleston, South Carolina, who pays taxes on $40,000 of real es tate and fourteen slaves. ALLEGHENY HOMY, Maryland, has instructed its representatives that if they vote for seces sion, they will be hung when they return home. SIXTY of the Amherst College (Mass.) stu dents have formed a company . , and are about leaving for Washington. The authorities of Queen Anne's county, Md., have appropriated $20,000 for the de fence of the county. Andrew Jackson Smith, late United States Consul at Laguayra, Venezuela, died at Galves ton, Texas, on the 14th inst. Tau rebels saved the powdbr magazine at the Norfolk navy yard, as the slow matches did not burn sufficiently to reach them in time. Dimon& does not arise from any known combination of physical causes. It is commu nicable, but not highly contagious, and attacks families. GENERAL HARPER, the commander of the forces at Harper's Ferry, has given assurances that Virginia would allow no attack on the Capital from her soil. THE Mnnna Rms.—The first rifle in vogue in France was the so-called pillar rifle of Thou venin, but the invention of M. Minis is the one which has practically revolutionized the fire arms of the present day. The improvements made by M. Minis are confined almost wholly to the form of the projectile, and have very little reference to that of the gun out of which it is fired. The ball is of an oblong conical form, something like an acorn without its cup; but instead of being solid this cone is hollowed out at the base into a cuplike form. The ad vantages of this form of projectile are that it offers less resistance to the air than a round ball would, and that having its centre of grav ity in its foremost part, it has no tendency to turn over in its flight; but its chief merit, in a military point of view, is that with it the rifle can be loaded as easily as the ordinary smooth bored gun, the forcing of the ball into the grooves of the barrel being effected by the ex plosion of the gunpowder, and not by the ramrod. The form of the rifle proper to these conical missiles differs very little from those used with the old spherical bullet, except that a three grooved rifle has superseded the old two grooved gun, and it is still an unsettled ques tion whether four groove would not he better than three. With this weapon the soldier can make far better practice at five hundred, or even one thousand yards, than he would with the old musket at one hundred or two hundred yards, XI SCELLANEOUS BY TELEGRAM THE WAR FOR THE UNION.

WASHINGTON, April 30. Senator Hunter, Wm. C. Rives, W. C. Rives, Wm. J. Preston, and Judges Cabaden and Brockenbrough have been appointed by the Virginia Convention as Delegates to the Southern Congress. The repotted release of Gen. Harney by the Governor of Virginia is verified. He has ar rived in Washington. The Virginia Convention has passed an Or dinance establishing the Navy of Virginia and authorizing the banks to issue one and two dollar notes. An unfortunate affair occurred here early on Sunday morning. A corporal's guard went to the house of one Boyd to arrest him on a charge of endeavoring to raise a company for the Southern army. Boyd resisted, and, it is said, discharged a revolver at the corporal. He was immediately shot dead. A Coroner's inquest was held, and, though the evidence was con flicting, it bore against the soldiers. They, to the number of eleven ' were arrested by the civil authorities, assisted by United States troops. Our communications by mail with the North are not yet satisfactory. The Post Office De• partment stand ready to send a regular mail by way of Annapolis and Perrysville, if the War Department will run a regular train to Annapo lis. This will probably be done, but the ar rangement is not yet perfected. From Alexandria we learn, by an occasional traveler that drilling is going on, though it "is thought not over two thousand troops were in that vicinity. Provisions have doubled in price there within a few days, and stringent regula tions are made to prevent supplies coming to the District. Two gentlemen of Boston, Messrs. Wilder Dwight and G. L. Andrews, left town this morning, authorized to raise a Massachusetts regiment to serve through the war. This regiment will probably be commanded by a well-known graduate of West Point, and an officer of the Mexican war. It will be sent at once to Fort Independence for drill for two months, unless needed sooner for ac tive service. BAITDIORE, April 30 A despatch from Frederick says a gentlemen from Washington, informs me that Gen'l. Scott showed him yesterday, the copy of a proclam ation to be issued immediately, declaring par tial martial law in the District of Columbia and over the line of Railway established by the Government for National purposes so far as to suspend the right of habeas corpus. In the Legislature yesterday, Mr. IVallis, from the majority of the Committee on Federal Relations, to whom was referred the memorial of 216 voters of Prince George's county, pray ing the Legislature, if, in its judgment, it possesses the power, to pass an ordinance of secession without delay, reported that, in the j udgment of the committee, the Legislature does not possess the power to pass such an ordinance as is prayed for, and that the prayer of the memorialists cannot, therefore, be granted. This report is signed by Messrs. Wallis, Long, Dennis, Briscoe and Compton. Messrs. Gordon and Goldsborough, of the Committee on Federal Relations, offered a mi nority report favorable to the prayer of the said memorialists. Mr. Dennison moved that the minority re• port be substituted for the majority report. The question was discussed by Messrs. Wallis, Gordon, Dennis, Compton, Pitts, Chaplain, Briscoe, Long, ad Dennison. Mr. Wallis said that the motion presented the direct question to the House of the consti tional power of the Legislature to pass an act of Secession. He was in favor of immediately taking the sense of the House on the subject, and settling the public mind as to the senti ment of the Legislature. Mr. Gordon said it presented only the ques tion of the expediency of granting the prayer of the petitioners. The vote was regarded by many of the mem. ben as indicating their views upon the consti tutional question. The motion to substitute the minority for the majority report was rejected by a vote of 13 yeas against 63 nays. The yeas were Messrs. Worthington, Denni son, Chaplain, Bryan, Wooten, Jones, of Prince George's, Jacobs, Kessler, Goldsboroug, Grif fith, Gordon, Barnard and Mills. Mr. Bryan, of Prince George's asked to be excused from voting, but the House refused. The majority report was then adopted with out a division being called. SECOND DISPATCH. From information gathered from gentlemen whose position and influence puts them in the way of knowing the feeling and views of a ma jority of the Legislature of Maryland, we feel warranted in saying that that body will not even pads a bill to call a State Convention, but will content themselves with making a calm and dignified appeal to the country.
