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.

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,

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.

"Tee LIPS OP,Taa FLESH Is IN me BLOOD," WAS
by inspiration long before Harvey'e discovery . of its cir
natation had brought to light its purposes and MEN. Nor
we know not only that "life is in the blood," but that
disease inhabits it also. Many of the disorders that per
vade the human frame, have their home in it, thrive is
it. The celebrated J. C. Ayer, of Towel, has bad regard
to this important fact in making a Remedy to cure thew
disordere. His Extraot of Sarsaparilla purges Cut ate
impurities of the blood and induces a healthy sale/ l'
it that expo s disease. This looks reasonable, and it

true, for we know by our own experience. Feldout as
we take any medicine, we. have nevertheless re, end
times been uuder obligafioue to . the skill of Dr. alef for
the relief which his remedies never fail to &foil ua W/17
