HARRISBURG, Pa
Thursday Afternoon, May 16,1861
TEE LEGISLATURE.
The extra session of the Legislature termi
nated to-day at noon, after fifteen dile pro
ceedings. The session was a very important
one, and the legislation which has now passed
Into laws has already been noticed in our col
umns, and has also been endorsed by our co
temporaries of all parties throughout the State.
We cannot permit the adjournment to pass
without noticing the good opinions which were
expressed for the Speaker of the• Senate, Hon.
Louis W. Hall. During the short time he has
presided, he made for himself a reputation 9f
which older parliamentarians might well be
proud, and which will go far to re-instate him
iet`the chair at the next session of the Senate.
Speaker Davis of the House, also carries home
with him the good opinions and esteem of the
members of the House, as well for his impar
tiality as a presiding officer, as for his courte
ous demeanor as a man.
A Goon APPOINTINNT. —We chronicle to-day,
with more than ordinary pleasure, the appoint
ment of Jacob Knabb, Esq., as Postmaster of
the city of Reading. Many of our citizens will
recognize Mr. Knabb as a former resident of
Harrisburg, and an active participant in the
exciting political contest of 1844. He will be
tainentbered in that campaign in the capacity
of assistant editor of the Clay Bugle, whose
music echoed in those days the glorious senti
ments of gallant "Harry of the West 1" Mr.
Knabb left Harrisburg for Beading shortly after
the campaign of 1844, and has ever since re
aided in that city, publishing and editing the

WX WWI highly gratified with the appear
ance of the volunteers who marched from
Camp Curtin yesterday afternoon,' 14 Ipin in
the salute of welcome to Maj. Anderson.—
They looked like soldiers, although they were
neither accoutred, equipped or armed—and for
shitvery reason they won our adusithtfoa and
app lle
e: hey marched through the airests
of tfi with a firm and steady step, :and a
slipMssi r that spoke in eloquent tertaskif the
MneerityWhich actuates them, ef sval4ss of

respect. It must be remembered that the
largest number of these men were yet in the
clothing which they wore while at work at
home, their hunting shirts and caps—that they
were in the ranks without arms—and that only
a few weeks since they knew nothing of the
order of march, the rules of the camp, or the
discipline of drill. ' Now, however, they seem
to appreciate and understand all thatiajooldier
ty,qualifications.
Pennsylvania owes a lasting debt of grati
tude to these men. She must urge forward,
the work of arming and equipping these com
panies that are now without arms and equip
ments. This fact seemed to impress those who
witnessed the parade yesterday—and as com
pany alter company passed along the crowded
sidewalks of Market street, we heard the ez
chunation repeatedly, "They are a noble look
ing set of men, and would look better and
more soldierly, if only armed and equipped."
Tau applications to the Montgomery Confed
erates for letters of marque, which first started
out at 300,000, and then fell to 3,000, are now
down to 300, and by striking off another 0 we
shall doubtless approximate to the truth. Still
another 0 may be safely struck off to get at
the number who will be likely to risk their
.necks at the business.
Tin Lsornannts of Maryland have passed a
resolution declaring it inexpedient to arms the
militia of the State at this time.
BRUTE FORCE
North Carolina, out of a population of wren
to eight hundred thousand, contains more than
seventy thousand white persons, over the age
of twenty-one years, who can neither read or
write. This is a ' , sinful conditiod of things,
and speaks not well for the capacity of the
divas so accursed to understand the principles
and blessings of the government under which
they live. For a man who cannot read or
write at the age of twenty-one years is surely
accursed. He is no better than the perrenial
plant which puts forth its leaves and blossoms
mechanically under the influence of the sun,
and with the frosts relinquish( a its beauties
and retires to a season of torpor. He is only
an implement in the hands of his superior to do
as he is directed, whether for good or ill. Help
lessness is his characteristic, and only by an ac
cident are his harvests not the accumulation of
those errors which must result in ruin. Such
persons cannot divert evil, and may not be in.
duced to do it, until they have been personally
and seriously damaged. The cry of secession
has been taken up by them, under base leader
ship, and without knowledge to point out the
crime of the act, they follow on in the course
that will cause them to think only when
slaughter has made them helpless. There is a
large element of this kind in the seceded
States, and upon it, and its almost Dahomey
like nature, do the leaders of the rebellion de
pend for their success. But the brute and the
savage eventually fall before intelligence. The
ferocity of the brute, of whatever species, lasts
not forever ; by its own violence it is exhaust
ed, and then cowering and defeated it crawls
away to seclusion or death, There are in the
no**, too, men who can neither read or write.
Bat :they are surrounded by associations to
which they in some degree assimmilate.
In
stead'of a home in the retired stillness of the
pine barren or the sandy upland, they are in the
midst of commercial or agricultural activity.
The operation ot, intelligence is hourly before
their sight, and they feel daily the effect of its
might. The supremacy of the law they learn
by experience and observation, and the doings
of the world they hear read or spoken of so
constantly, that they incontinently acquire an
interest in what is transpiring. The southern
unfortunate has none of those opportunities.
His life is a state of nature in a very original
and peculiar style. Associations are confined
to his own class ; the world is restricted to. his
own sphere, and instead of ever rising out • of
the slough of barbarism, he but sinks deeper
in it, and with him his progeny.
Between the two classes the difference is mark
ed. In one (here is no improvement, but a
certainty of usefulness superior to that of his
southern type. For military purposes, the last
will be the most reliable, and according to his
more frequent contact with civilized life, he

is too true that those who started enthusiasti

have offered their services lately. It is useless
to conceal these facts from the volunteers in
camp. Men have eyes to see and judgment to
comprehend whatever of wrong and favorite

this, and their complaints are bound to be
heard. When the hour of battle comes, if ever
it does, some of those who are now apparently

)lAJOR GEKERAL GEORGE A. Al CALL
The Governor has this day appointed by and
with the advice and conse.,t of the Senate,
George Archibald M'Celi, of Chester county, to
be Major General under the act of Assembly
for reorganizing the militia, passed at the spa
cial session of the Legislature which has just
adjourned.
General M'C.tll is a native of the city of
Philadelphia, graduated at West Point, and
was afterwards appointed second Lieutenant iu
the first Infantry, on the first day of Ju1y,1822,
and remained in the service until June 18h0,
when he resigned from ill health, and as
since that time resided In Chester comity, "of
this State, where he has been engaged in api
culture! pursuits.
At the time of his resignation, he was ur
gently solicited by Jefferson Davis, then Score
tary of War, to remain in the army, with
every assurance of having such service assigned
him a., would relieve him from arduous duties.
Lieut. General Winfield Scott also united in
urging General M'Call not to relinquish the
service.
During his long connection with the army,
his course was steadily upwards, distinguishing
himself in both the Florida and Mexican wars,
and being twice brevetted, once in thebriitle
of Palo Alio, and again at Resaca de la
Palma.
The following shows the promotion of Gen
eral M'Call, from the time of receiving his first
commission, as above, in July, 1822. Second
Lieutenant, First Infantrylin December, 1822 ;
Second Lieutenant, Fourth Infantry, in Janua
ry, 1829; First Lieutenant, in November, 1829 ;
Assistant Commissary Sub jstence, in April,
1831 to 1836; Aid-de-Camp to Major General
Gaines, and acting Assistant Adjutant Gen:Ual
in January, 1832.
September, 1836, Captain, distinguished
under Colonel Worth in the Florida war--
Brevet Major and Brevet Lieutenant Colonel,
for gallant and distinguished services la bat
tles of Palo Alto and Reseca de la Palma.
July 7, 1846, Assistant Adjutant General,
with rank of Major,
December, 1847, Major Third Infantry, and
relinquished staff appointment.
June 10, 1850, Inspector General, with rank
of Colonel, and relinquished rank in line.
The above is obtained from authoriZed pub
lications of the War Department and reliable
military authority.
Since his residence amongst The peaceable
citizens of his adopted county of Chester, Geo
McCall endeared himself to all by his unas
suming depot talent and excellence of private
character. We congratulate Governor Curtin
upon so worthy an appointment, and the peo
ple of the State.should rejoice that they have
received the assistance of so excellent a man
and inch Lthorough soldier.

of the President and Heads of 'Departments and
other Government officials were threatened with
imminent danger, was : responded to with an
alacrity and generous proffer of services, of
which our State may well be proud.
And whereas, fiirther requisition's were made
upon the Governor and a very large number of
companies throughout the State have at great
inconvenience and personal sacrifices maintain

themselves in readiness for instant service, and
it is desirable to know whether all regiments
have been filled or if there are any to be filled.

And as stated in the same message, this or

under date of April 30th, and some days later
a telegraphic despatch from the War Depart

Twenty-four regiments in all were mustered
into service, besides the Scott . Legion in the
city of Philadelphia.
On the seventh of May I was requested by
telegraph from the Secretary of War to as..er
tain how many of the regiments mustered into
the United States service, and not sent forward
were willing to change the time of their service
from turee mouths to a term of three years or
during the war. In pursuance of which I di
rected a copy of the following letter to be sent
to the Colonels of all the regiments, (as design
ed in the request of the Secretary of War :)
HEAD QUARTERS, COUMANDER-IN - CHIEF,
Harrisburg, May 8, 1861.
Sin : I have been requested by the Secretary
of War, to let the Regiments now in the service
of the State, know that it is " prefered to have
all the Regiments already mustered into service
for three months, which are not actually sent
forward, re-mustered into service for three
years or dui ing the war, should they be willing
to do so." 1 therefore deem it proper to direct
that you immediately ascertain the preference
of your Regiment upon this question, and com
municate the result forthwith to me.
Those who do not desire to re-enlist for this
additional period, can be formed into Regi
ments, 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, to see the regiments so
promptly and patriotically offered to the State,
gives this additional and more enduring evi
dence of continued devotion to their country.

I have bad since that no other order or
request from the War Department, except one
received yesterday of which the following is
a copy.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Muhington, May 14, 1861.
Gov. A. G. CURTIN : Dear Sir:—Enclosed
herewith you will find the plan for the organi
zation of the volunteers for three years service.
Ten regiments are assigned to Pennsylvania,
making, in addition to the thirteen regiments
of three mouths militia, already called for,
making twenty-three regiments. It is impor
tant to reduce rather than enlarge this num
ber, and in no event to exceed it. Let me
earnestly recommend to you, therefore to call
for no mote than twenty-three regiments of
which only ten are to serve during the war, and
if more are already called for, to reduce the
number by discharge. In making up the quota
of three years men, you will please act in con
cert with Lieut. Col. Andrew Porter, who will
represent this Department, and so far as possi
ble make it up by taking in preference, regi
ments already offered for three months, having
of course due regard to a fair distribution of
the forces among the different sections of the
State. If it should be agreeable to your Excel
lency, it would be especially gratifying to this
Department to have some of those regiments
offered for three years service from Allegheny
and other westemcounties, including the "wild

It is proper that I should, remark in this con

ments mustered into service by the properly
authorized officers of the Federal Government;
nor have I any power to change the terms of
their service, nor to disband them, or in any
other manner to affect their movements.
I received the letter of the Secretary of War
yesterday evening, and have not had time to
reply to it. 'So far as it is in my power I will
conform to all the directions contained therein,
and will, during the continuance of the troubles
now impending over our country, give to the
Federal Government in the re-establishment of
peace a cordial and active support.
