THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.
HARRISBURG, PA
Thursday Afternoon, May 9, 1861.,
THE OHIO VOLUNTEERS, according to the Press,
were badly treated on their arrival in Philadel
phia yesterday. This is too bad. These young
men leave comfortable homes, many of them
scenes of luxury and affluence, to defend the
honor of the country.
INCLUDING the Home Guards, there are not
less than five hundred thousand men enrolled in the
free States, ready for service at a moment's
warning from the government. This is an army
more numerous than there are free white men
between the ages of eighteen and forty-five in
all the seceded slave States.
THE troops at Perryville, with Sherman's
Light Artillery Battery, will most likely make
a landing on the Baltimore side, and form a
union with the forces under Gen. Butler at the
Relay. It is expected that other troops from
Harrisburg will join them, when, in a body,
they will march through Baltimore, on their
way to the capital.
LETTERS from American ship captains at Ha
vana, show that the war is operating upon
American marine interests there with even
greater hardships than the published accounts
represent. The Spanish merchants are afraid
to ship by United States vessels, and were giv
ing French, English and North of Europe bot
toms the preference.
THE Govmmos's liftssAms, in reply to a reso
lution originating in the House calling for in
formation relative to the disbursement of the
first military appropriation of $500,000, will be
found in the TELEGRAPH this afternoon. It will
repay a perusal, as placing important facts be
fore the public, and giving the details of the
disbursement of the money referred to in the
resolution of the House.
" ITIGOROIIB WAR," 15 the unanimous cry of
the Union men and the Union press all over
the country. The real Union men of Charles
ton, Montgomery, New Orleans, Memphis, Bal
timore, Richmond—every city and every sec
tion of the South—are just as anxious to see the
Secessionists put down as those of the North,
It is felt everywhere in the South that Seces
sion rule is the rule of an oligarchy—of a few
scoundrels—backed by fraud, swindling, and
the force of military power. They pray that
the Government may not stop till it puts
down the rebellion.
Thu PELAY o THE TRAITORS is the best evi
dence of their want of confidence in their own
strength. There is no unity of action among
them. They fight with halters around their necks,
AND ARE BNCERTAIN OF TEM MOMENT THE NOOSE
MAT BE TIGHTENED ! If they had had any confi
dence in their strength or the justice of their
cause, Washington city would have been in
their possession three months since, or they
might have laid the capital iu ashes. But they
hesitate, because they know that they are
struggling against the might, the mind, and
the great majority of the American people.
The whole rebellion is only the struggle of
some three hundred thoUsand slaveholders, who
demand the recognition of their property in
human flesh and blood as superior to that of
all the other property owned by nearly thirty
millions of people.
PERSONAL SAFETY is not an issue in this con
test. The idea of protecting cities or saving
public improvements will not animate the true
soldier. The mere defence of the federal capi
tal will not vindicate the law. The issue is
for the power of the government, and in de
ciding that issue, the rebels must either lay
down their arms unconditionally, be conquered
and forced into obedience, or this government
must yield up its dignity, its power, and its
existence. There can be no real benefit derived
by shrinking from this issae, because to such a
settlement treason must eventually submit, or
law and order must surrender to its force. This
is the spirit in which the people accept the
Issues of this war. They have entered on Its
first campaign to achieve this if possible in a
few months, but if that time is too short, they
are determined to battle until it is accomplished,
or perish with the race of tyrants and rebels
Rho have armed for the overthrow of free gov
ernment.
To Wiw THE BATTLE in which we are now en
gaged, without a severe and desperate struggle,
would be to win it without honor. To pass
through the traitor territory and not have the
satisfaction of coping with treason, would be
to leave the poison unchecked in the body po
litic. We must have a Battle ! Those who have
arrayed themselves against the government
must be brought to temrs of obedience or the
point of the bayonet or the muzzle of the
cannon. Those who have armed for the de
fence of their country by the vindication of ils
honor, must have the satisfaction of humilia
ting and chastising their country's foes. Any
other mode of settling the differences between
loyalty and treason, will only allay and not
check and forever destroy the rebellion. There
are of course difficulties in the way of such a
settlement, but without difficulties to contend
with, there would be no success. Where there
is nothing to struggle for, there is nothing to
achieve. But when we remember all that we
are now struggling for—the rich inheritance of
our fathers that we desire to transmit untarn
ished to our children—we forget all but our
filod, our country and our destiny.
THE MONROE DOCTRINE AND THE IN
VASION OF TREASON'S TERRITORY.
It seems to be the settled determination of
the federal government to do more than mere
ly open paths to and form connections with the
city of Washington. And we believe, too,
that in arriving at this determination they have
been impelled as much by public sentiment
pointing beyond the federal capital fora full Pill
dication of the laws, as by their own sense of
stern and imperative duty. Every day impres
ses the people of the loyal states with the fact,
that unless this rebellion is speedily and effec
tually crushed, anarchy and revolution will he
the fate of all the states of the American
Union. We cannot live in peace while culti
vating the most opposite and antagonistical pol
icies, nor is it any more likely that the spirit
of our laws will permit a mob to create a forced
rule on this hemisphere, than this government
would allow a foreign nation to acquire territo
ry or dominion in our own midst. This is the
Monroe doctrine, as applicable to the designs
of the traitor Davis as it would be to the Sultan
Mahomed, did he attempt to erect his Seraglio
on the banks of the Susquehanna or build a
haren beneath the porches of the White
[louse. The Monroe doctrine distinctly de
dares that it will neither permit a foreign
power to act as a protectorate for, or establish
and extend a rule on this continent. By this
it was meant that the whole of the north
American continent was designed for and ac
tually dedicated to the purposes of free govern
ment. With the forms of government already
in existance here, and not in harmony with
the spirit of free institutions, it was not as
sumed that the United States intended to in
terfere—but with any attempt to introduce
new doctrines or establish and create new gov
ernment at variance with republican principles,
this government emphatically declared its hos
tility, and determination to oppose at all haz
ards. With this conviction, then, it must op
pose to the Utter end, the present attempt of
the rebels, at the south to organize a new form
of government immediately above the prestige
of the present nationality, and therefore the
rebellion assumes a new shape, and is invested
with a new feature to justify the administra
tion in opposing - it with all the force in its
power. And in this opposition we mat not
pause at trifling considerations of duty, but
second the efforts of the administration that
are now ;so manfully tending towards the
most vigorous measures:of military operation.
It is determined not to pause on the portals of
the Capital. Not to rest its armies on the
banks of the Potomac, but to push them as far
as the season will permit, into the heart of its
own territory, claimed as the sovereign domin
ion of free commonwealths, but forfeited by
their renunciation of an eternally binding alle
giance, and an open warfare with a power that
knows no limit in the exercise of its Constitu
tionally delegated authority within all the
States of this Union.
When traitors take the field governments
must be positive as well as brief—brief in their
declaration of what is right—in doing what is
right, firm, prompt and decided. They mnst
take the responsibility, and depend on the ac
complishment of good for their justification
and reward. In this rebellion however one
must agree that the administration is full of
vigor, prolific in action and determined to
prosecute its fixed policy of maintaining itself
and vindicating itsown laws, let it be proclaim
ed at once that all this preparation is not mere
ly to defend the stupendous piles of carved marble
in Washington City, that these regiments and
squadrons are not merely to guard the ar
chives of this government, but that they will be
pushed forward to the extremity of treason's
territory, nor stop in their march until every
traitor in the land is brought to justice and to
punishment. Any other policy would only
postpone and not settle this difficulty. If we
are to preserve our freedom and our form of
government, let them be made the issue of this
fight, and we will win both while exterminating
treason. But if both are to be surrendered, it
can best be done by leaving the army to per
ish in the ditch at Washington city.
OBE Of TIM Etas of the age, and an evil
which is working much of the mischief now
threatening the security of human rights,
cial order and political equality, is the desire
of acquiring sudden riches. Men are no long
er satisfied to struggle honorably and work
honestly in the construction of a fortune. They
are not willing to give value for value, and
produce in science and art or mechanism, ai
they accumulate money. Such process is too
primitive. It seems behind the times to rely
on individual labor for success, and an evidence
of ignorance in the estimation of some men to
make money by a manly effort in any path of
usefulness. Fortunes must come in an instant.
Fabulous wealth must be created by the touch
of a wizard's wand, or the force of a specula
tor's power. This is all wrong. The evil is
becoming a stupendous load of national and
state shame as well as degradation and misery.
To it can be traced our national difficulties—
from it flows our local troubles, and by it Penn.
sylvania has been cursed until her energies and
her strength and her reputation have been
blighted and almost destroyed. Those who ate
engaged in thus robbing treasuries, speculating
on the necessities of the times and corrupting
legislation for the purpose of acquiring this
sudden wealth, cannot much longer escape the
vengeance of public indignation. The wealth
which they have wrested from the wants and
embarrassments of the Commonwealth and the
nation may serve for a time to pamper their
pride and bide their corruption, but there is an
hour of retribution for every crime in the cal
endar, and a punishment in reserve for the dis
honest, however long it may be postponed. As
independent and fearless journalists, it may
become our duty same day to tear the mask
from the face of this corruption, and expose
the frauds of which the people know so little,
but by which they suffer so much. There fp
a dark annal in the legislative career of Penn
sylvania, and it is becoming more and more
necessary every day to light it with the torch
of truth.
NOTWITHSTANDING- the reported advance of
Southern troops on Cairo, it is believed the
Federal forces there will be able to defend theta
eelves and put the enemy to night. -

IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE.
Between General Cameron, Secretary of War,
and Governor Curtin, a very important tele
graphic correspondence has taken place on the
subjectof changing the tenure of those who have
enlisted for three months, to three years, or
during the war. In the present position of af
fairs, and as the crisis is developed, the War
Department finds that the tenure of three
months will be of little service to the govern
ment, if the regiments thus formed are to be
disbanded at the end of that period, and the
government consequently left without the sup
port of an adequate army at the commentement
of the proper season for operations at the South.
We understand, in fact, that Gen. Cameron
was doubtful of the practical uses of the
three months enlistment, justly alleging that it
would require almost that time to organize,
equip, and render proficient any force of raw
recruits—and since it has become the policy of
the government to push this war in the most
vigorous manner to as speedy a conclusion as
possible, it must be supported by the people in
a like vigorous and confident manner.
In order to secure the success of the tenure
of enlistment fixed upon by the War Depart
ment, Gov. Curtin has issued the following
circular letter to the Colonels of regiments.
There can be no doubt that the response will
realize all that is expected by the federal gov
ernment from the citizen soldiery of Pennsyl-
12MCI
Sea : I have been requested by the Secretary
of War to let the Regiments now in the ser
vice of the State, know that it is "preferred to
have all the Regiments already mustered into
service for three months, which are not actual
ly sent forward, re-mustered into service for
three years or during the War, should they be
willing to do so." I therefore deem it proper
to direct that you immediately ascertain the
preference of your Regiment upon this qestion,
and communicate the result forthwith to me.
Those who do not desire to re-enlist for this
additional period, cm be formed into Regiments,
or have such arrangements made as to enable
them to retire with honor, in accordance with
their enlistment.
I cannot refrain from saying that it would
afford me pleasure b Ke the Regiments so
promptly and patriotically offered to the State,
give this additional and more enduring evi
dence of continued devotion to their country.
Very Respectfully Yours,
A. G. CURTIN.
Governor and Commander-in-CW.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE t 3 estimate the demorelizing
influence which the bickering and delay in the
Legislature must have upon the brave men in
camp, whose patience is being se much abused
by the postponement of their march. Among
some of our representatives there seems to be
no other desire than to dispute and distrust
every movement of a necessary or practical
character, while the morbid_purpose to discuss
every measure proposed, is becoming actually
ridiculous. In fact, the people are beginning
to distract the entire system of legislation, its
objects, its merits and its integrity. There are
of course many honorable and patriotic men
in the Legislature, but who will dare to deny
that suspicion does not attach to many others,
for whose actions no party can he justly re
sponsible, and who should at once be made an
swerable before the bar of public justice. The
evil is becoming a crying shame and mon
strous disgrace. Every Pennsylvanian feels it
—every honest man suffers by it—and every
good citizen is ready to assist in hurling such
corruption from trust and position. •In an hour
like this there should be no differences. The
people are united, and their servants, there
fore have no right to differ or delay. If they
persist in doing so much longer, let the danger
rest upon themselves. An outraged people
will not be slow in seeking their own re
paration.
It seems to us that there is a want of action
somewhere in both branches of the legislature,
which is not in harmony with the enthusiasm
displayed by the people. Before the assemblage
of this extra session, the people of the State
rushed almost simultaneously forward to the
rescue of the country, offering themselves in
battalions, regiments and brigades, to serve for
almost any length of time, at any sacrifice and
in any locality. But it appears now that this ar
dor is to be dampened by the dilatory proceed
ings of the legislature. Both branches have
been in session for ten days, and yet neither
have done anything to facilitatelhe stupendous
arrangements entered into between the War
Department at Washington and the Governor
for the purpose of sustaining the federal author
ity in the territory of rebellion. This delay
has not passed the notice of the masses of the
people. It cannot be shielded much longer, nor
can Pennsylvania be protected from the doubts
and imputation's of her neighbors, if the legis
lature persistsithus in delaying the important
business of the hour by postponing the action
of the people in their endeavors to defend and
sustain the federal administration.
At the time of the assembling of the present
extra session, the work of organizing an arm
was progressing in the most satisfactory man
ner. Regiments were formed and sent forward,
they were equipped and armed for the service,
and to-day Pennsylvania has more men actual
ly in the field than any other State in the
Union. But eversince this secession commenc
ed, delay, debate and doubt have taken the
place of action, organization and enthusiasm.
The object of calling the Legislature together
was certainly clearly defined. They saw their
duty in the pressing emergency by which the
Commonwealth is surrounded, but so far they
have failed to perform that duty, and their
constituents will hold them responsible for the
delay. Their desire to force false issues on the
Commander-in-Chief can serve only the pur
pose of satisfying the captlousor the disappoint
ed, and unless a different spirit soon prevails, to
actuate and impel men to their duty, it would
be better for the safety of the nation and the
reputation of Pennkylvania, if the Legislature
at once adjourn, and leave the part 'the people
are to take in this crisis to their own discretion,
instead of to the uncertainty and delay of leg
islation-
MB supplies of arms, ammunition and pro
visions to the Southern States, via the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers, will certainly be stop.

LEGISLATIVE ACTION.
GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
The following message from the Governor in
response to the accompanying resolution, was
d :livered to the Legislature, Wednesday, May
8, 1861 :
EXECITEIVB CHAMBER,
Harrisburg, May 8, 1861.
To the Senate and House of _Representatives of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
GENTLEMEN
I receive•l your resolution of the third of
May, of which the following is a copy, on Mon
day afternoon at five o'clock :
In the House of Representatives.
FRIDAY, May 3, 1861
_
Resolved, That the Governor be requested to
inform this House how much of the moneys ap
propriated by the Act of 12th April, 1861, for
the purpose of organizing, equipping and provi
sioning the militia of this State, has been actu
ally disbursed, and how and in what manner
the same has been expended, what contracts, if
any, have been made, with whom made,
through what agencies, for what articles of sup
ply, in what quantities, and at what prices, and
also what number of public agents has been ap
pointed in connection with the Quarter Master
or Commissary's department established by the
said Act for the purpose of carrying out the ob
jects thereof, and who are the persons so ap
pointed.
Extract from the Journal.
To which I have the honor to reply.
I recog,nize, to its fullest extent, at all times,
the necessity of prompt and satisfactory ans
were of all departments of the government to
the requirements of the representatives of the
people; and especially where they are entrust
ed with the disbursement of public money.
When the call was made upon Pennsylvania
to arm a part of her people in the service of the
General Government! to meet a sudden and
extraordinary emergency, we had not such an
organization of our military force as was ready
to answer a call into active service. Your re
solution of inquiry comes to me, when all the
departments of the government, and all per
sons called into its service, are entirely engaged
in the organization and equipment of the quota
of militia from Pennsylvania under the requisi
tion of the General Government.
In answer to your interrogatory as to what
agencies have been employed, I have the hon
or to reply that I appointed E. M. Biddle, Ad
jutant General, It. C. Hale, Quarter Master
General, and Wm. W. Irwin, Commissary Gen
eral ; and that all purchases and disbursements
have been made through their various Depart
ments, and so far as it was possible, under my
immediate supervision. The reports of these
officers, made to me on a request for that end,
which accompany and are made part of this
communication, will present to you the details
of the administration of their office, so far as
practicable ; and it is due to, these gentlemen
to declare that their conduct of their respect
ive Departments meets my unqualified appro
bation.
I called to my assistance Col. Thos. A. Scott,
to whose valuable labors I am much indebted.
He continued to assist me until he was called
into the service of the Federal Government.—
I then invited Col. John A. Wright and It. Bid
•
ale Roberts to active service near my person.—
Except Col. Gideon J. Ball, who served me in
the same capacity during the recess of the Le
gislature, I have not employed any other per
sons in the Executive Department beyond the
constituted and ordinary officers of the govern
ment. No compensation has been paid these
gentlemen.
Some of them, I know, will not accept of
any ; and I eannat too highly commend to you,
and the people of this State their patriotism
and fidelity.
Although your resolution of inquiry was di
rected to me, and it might have been sufficiently
answered by my referring you to the auditing
and paying Departments of the State for partic
ulars of expenditure, I have obtained through
the kindness of the Auditor General, copies of
all his vouchers for disbursements and a state
ment from the State Treasnrer of the amounts
paid by him.
A. large amount of bills has been furnished
to the Commissary General, for the camp at
the seat of government ; the prices of articles
furnished have only been settled in the bills
furnished by the Auditor General ; those un
paid will be supervised, and, if necessary, cor
rected by the Commissary General and Auditor
General before paid, under a system to which
I adverted in my message presented to the Le
gisliture at the opening of this special session,
as being calculated to protect the interests of
the State in these transactions. For the num
ber of persons employed, and other details, I
refer you to the reports of these officers.
It was necessary that Quarter-Master General
Hale should transfer the largest and most ex
tensive of his operations to the city of Philadel
phia, and for that purpose he opened an office
in that city. He was furnished with rooms
rent free by Singleton A. Mercer, Esq.,Presi
dent of the Farmers and Mechanics Bank, and,
as fully set out in his report, accepted the vol
untary service of a number of patriotic gentle
man, whom, by their names, he has properly
commended. During the time he was in Phil
adelphia he was, from necessity, discharging
the duties of Commissary in that city, as well
as those of his own office.
lam happy to say that the transactions of
that Department are fully before you in the re
port of General Hale ; and bearing in mind the
necessity for immediate action and the absence
of previous organization, I cannot too highly
commend the conduct of those patriotic gentle
men who left their private affairs and devoted
all their time and energies to the service of the
State.
No arrangement has yet been made to com
pensate the gentlemen referred to. Many -
them refuse to receive any compensation.—
Some of them ought to be reasonably paid fox
their services, and if I have the power, com
pensation will be made to them.
In answer to interrogatories which I put to
the Secretary of War, and which answers were
contained in a former message to you, I learn
ed from the War Department of the United
States that the accounts of the Commissionary
and Quarter Master's department of this State
would be mainly re-imbursed by the United
States Government. To a large extent these
claims have been already formally recognized
by the officers of the National Government.
And the accounts have been, and will be so
kept, and audited, as to establish their validity
beyond all question.
I deem it proper to communicate at this time
to the Legislature, as no opportunity may be
afforded, the fact that the Cincinnati Society of
Pennsylvania have sent me a check for five
hundred dollars, to be used towards arming and
equipping the volunteers of Pennsylw.ni a. It
is proper that some official notice should be
taken of this patriotic munificence; and if it
should be the pleasure of the Legislature, I will
be much pleased to be directed in its appropria
tion.
I take this occasion to say that the period of
time has arrived for prompt and decisive ac
tion ; and the Government should be equal in
alacrity and zeal to the spirit which animates
the people. We are now called upon to meet
the most causeless and wonderful conspiracy
recorded in history ; in the name of Constitu
tional liberty and for the progress of civilization
and christianity, this great people are to vindi
cate before the world that our government
has inherent strength for its own perpetuity,
and that we have the power and the will to
transmit to posterity its blessings. The unity
of the millions of our free and loyal people, pre
sents to the world a fact without a parallel in
moral sublimity and devoted patriotism in the
history of the past or the present. Let us all
act in harmony, and so administer this State
Government, that our brave people may go to
the field organized, armed and equipped, and
in such numbers as to assure the speedy over
throw of this attrocious conspiracy and rebel
lion, and the condign punishment of theguilty;
and may we by prompt and courageous action
avoid the culpability of sending companies to
the field without that full preparation which
the future will inevitably require.
Gentlemen, you represent a 'loyal constitu
ency ; you are called upon to legislate in a try
ing emergency for a State whose history is
without stain ; our annals and our traditions
exhibit rich and rare examples of true Christian
heroism, and leaving the honor of the State in
your hands, I pledge to you the full perfor
mance of every duty imposed upon me by the
Constitution and the laws.
