THE PENNSYLVANIA SOLDIERS
A FLAN TO FACILITATE THE REMITTANCE OF THEIR
PAY TO .THEIR FAMILLEFI AT HOME
The Committee appointed by Gov. Curtin,
consisting of Senator Cowan, E. C. Humes, of
Bellefonte, and Thomas E. Franklin, of Lancas
ter, to proceed to Washington, and while there
devise and adopt some plan for the protection of
the soldiers from.this state who desire to avail
themselves of the allotment system in provid
ing for their families. The Commissioners
have made the following .
REPORT.
CITY OF WASHINGTON, Nov. Ist, 1861.
His Exow.T.P.NGY A. G. CURTIN, Governor of Penn
sylvania,
The undersigned commissioners appointed by
your Excellency, charged with the duty of visit
ing the several regiments of Pennsylvania vol
imteers now in the field in the vicinity of this
city, and to make such arrangements as in their
judgment may be necessary to facilitate said
volunteers in assigning portions of their pay as
provided by law, beg leave respectfully to report
that we met for the purpose of our appointment
in the city of Washington, on Tuesday the 29th
ult., and found on application at the War De
partment that a plan had been adopted, pro
viding for the distribiltion among all the regi
ments of volunteers, of allotment rolls, by
which the members of each company are ena
bled to assign such portion of their pay es they
may designate to their friends at home, and to
appoint a trustee to receive and distribute the
same. The Adjutant General .has undertaken
to furnish three of these rolls to each company
of volunteers in the service, and the Paymaster
General will promptly forward to each trustee
so appointed, the aggregate amount allotted by
the company selecting him, to be by him dis
tributed among the beneficiaries. This plan
has been matured by the department in con
junction with the sanitary commission, who
have given it their sanction, and as the amount
allotted will thus be transmitted without loss or
expense to•the soldier, and as it is presumed the
trustees named will generally act without com
pensation, it appeared to us to present the
safest, simplest and most effective mode which
had been suggested for accomplishing the ob
ject intended. We therefore approved and
adopted it. In order to ascertain whether any
thing in addition was requisite to promote its
practical working, we visited several divisions
of the army near this city. The largest body
tif Pennsylvania volunteers collected together is
M General McCall's command, to which we,
first proceeded. General McCall was absnet, but
General Reynolds received us with marked
kindness and courtesy, and entering heartily
into the spirit of our mission, invited the sev
eral eolonels in his command to his quarters,
to receive our explanations and make any sug
gestions they thought proper in reference to it.
They all approved the proposed plan and prom
ised to give it their attention and co-operation.
We called also in company with General Rey
nolds upon a number of colonels in General
McCall's division with like effect. We after
wards visited General F. J. Porter at his quar
ters, and communicatel with the several Penna.
Colonels in his force with the same favorable
result. There seemed, therefore, little further
for us to do than to impress upon our citizen
soldiers the importance of their attention to the
subject, and to urge them to devote as large a
portion of their pay to their families as they
can spare from their own immediate wants. As
it was not possible to meet them in person, we
have prepared a circular addressed to them, of
which we have the honor to enclose a copy
herewith. This circular we propose to have
distributed among all the volunteers from our
State, and have for that purpose obtained an
order of the Secretary of War directing the Ad
.jutant General to deliver two hundred copies
to each regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers in
the 5ervice.................-- •
In conclusion, we take pleasure in acknowl
edging the attention and kindness of all the
Officers of the Government upon whom we • had
occasion to call in connection with our mission,
and have the honor to be, •
Very truly and respectfully,
Your obedient servants,

Gov. Curtin, in acknowledgement of his re
port, replied as follows to the members of the
Commission:
Exmounvz Citaxsza,
Harrisburg, Nov. 4, 1861.
GENTLEaum :—I desire to express to you the
thanks of the people of the Commonwealth, for
the manner in which you have performed your
patriotic mission to the volunteers at Washing
ton and on the line of the Potomac.
The plan you propose is plain and practical,
and I have no doubt that, under it, a large por
tion of the pay of the men from Pennsylvania,
now bearing arms in defence of the legally con
stituted authorities of the federal government,
will be secured for their families.
With sentiments of high regard,
Your obedient servant,
A. G. CURTIN
Hon. EWAN. COWAN,
" THOMAS E. FneNraor f
E. C. HUMES, Esq.,
annmissioners, 81T
The following is the circular issued by the
Commissioners and addressed to the Pennsyl
vanians. It commends its own eloquence in its
truthfulness :
CIRCULAR TO THE PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS
SOLDIERS : Having been commissioned by the
Governor of Pennsylvania to visit your camps,
and make arrangements, in order. that that part
of your pay which you might assign for the
benefit of your families at home, should be
readily and safely transmitted to them, we came
to Washington city on the 29th inst., and then
found that the War Department of the general
government had already perfected a scheme,
which we expectwill serve the purpose intended
as well as any other. There then remained
nothing further for us to do, unless it were to
urge upoti you the propriety of sending home as
much of your pay as would be possible in view
of your wants in the service.
The American soldier is, in the highest sense of
the term an American itim—equal before the
laws with all the rest of us. He is unquestion
ably the first in the affections of the people ;
and having imperilledhilf tor ns upon. the
field of battle, we ever codsider him as first en
titled to favor. When peace returns, and the
proud flag of the Union floats in triumph every
where throughout the Republic, then our sol
diers will came back to take the first rank in
civil life, and receive the civic honors and dis
tinctions all will be proud to bestow upon
them. Every hardship suffered on the march
or bivouac—every danger braved, and every
wound received in the field of combat, will be
reckoned by a grateful people as qualifications
for the high places in the nation—and will all
be rewarded then, if our soldiers are true to
themselves.
Your life is now one of difficulty, and the
snares of the tempter are set about you. The
sutler's stall and the gambler's table invite you.
Deprivation of home and its restraining influ
ences, leaves you weaker than before ; and, ex
cited, bewildered by the revel of a multitude of
men, you may go away captive to the vices that
will curse you after life, and unfit you for the
honors that are in store for you. Against all
this we endeavor to warn you. In the same
spirit, too, the government and the laws seek
to protect and preserve you—for in your safety
and success we are all saved.
In other countries the pay of the soldier is
merely nominal ; so trifling that it is not sup
posed sufficient to purchase him the means of
vicious indulgence. Here with us, however, the
rule is the reverse, and the pay allowed the
American soldier is so liberal, that it is a substi
tute for the earnings of an American citizen—it
is commensurate with his rank and station in
the Republic, and it is presumed he will apply
it to the same purpose as if he had earned it at
home.
The law supposes, and prudence would dic
tate then that this pay should be sent home to
your families, in order, it necessary, that it may
be applied to their support and maintenance; or
if it is not, then that it be laid away or invested
till the owner retruns. If you have a mother
who has nursed you, or a wife who has solaced
you, they will be the fit custodians of your
treasure ; and you will have , surely, more con
solation in reflecting that it has fallen in loving
laps like theirs, than if it had gone to engorge
the maws of the harpies who hover about your
camps, to batten upon your vices.
You will also be entitled, on your return
from the service, each to one hundred and
sixty acres of land out of the public domain.
This, to those of you who are landless. is in
tended by the government as a home for you
and your children ; and if you can now lay
away a fund for the purpose of improving and
stocking it as a farm, will put you in a position
which the most favored people in the world
cannot hope for elsewhere, and which, as a
general rule, limits the desires of all men. Cer
tainly no one can be more independent, or bet
ter fitted to perform the duties of a . free man,
under a Republican form of government, than
one who owns the soil from which he derives a
livelihood. We hope that the_suggestiou will
not be unheeded by men whose race is prover
bial for providence and thrift.
In conclusion, we have only to say to you,
that Pennsylvania not only expects but believes
you will do your duty, as well in seconding the
wishes of the State for your own individual well
being and that of your families, as in defending
the Constitution and Government of the Union,
against the rebellious war now waging for its
overthrow. She trusts you all feel that you
now stand face to face with the greatest ques
tion which has ever arisen in the world—the
question of the ability of man for self-government !
If you cannot maintain your present Government,
free as it is from every charge of tyranny and oppres
sion, you cannot maintain any under the republican
form, and we must go backto despotism again,
to find peace and security in our depredation
and disgrace. But if we behave ourselves as
men worthy of our ancestors and the inheritance
they left us, then we will stand foremost among
the nations of the earth, and achieve for our
selves a destiny still more wonderful than our
,past history seemed to indicate. The proud
fabric reared by our Revolutionary fathers, be
im' g proof against the shock of this great rebel.
lion—strengthened and cemented by the blood
of their children—will then remain impregnable
for ages, and unborn millions will rejoice in the
.enjoyment of the highest earthly blessing—
:Civil, LIBERTY.

Sketch of Commodore Samuel F,
Dupont.
Commodore Samuel F. Dupont, the com
mander of the naval forces of the great expe
dition, is a native of the State of New Jersey,
but received his appointrneat into the Navy
from the State of Delaware, of which he is a
citizen. An original entry into the service of
his country was on the 19th of December, 1845;
he has been, therefore, nearly forty-six years in
the service, and his forty-sixth anniversary may
bring him more glory and raise him higher in
tha estimation of the people, both at home and
abroad, than all the previous ones. tio, if the
present expedition is successful, there cannot be
too much said in praise of those having com
mand.. Up to the present time Commodore
Dupont has spent nearly twenty-two years on
sea, eight and a half years in active duty on
shore, and the balance of his time has been un
employed. His present commission bears date
September 14, 1855. He was last at sea in May,
1859, and since that time he has been com
mandant of the Navy Yard at Philadelphia,
where his kindness of manner, together with
his strict discipline, won for him many friends.
Commodore Dupoint is'a man a little past
what is usually termed the prime of life, al
though possessed of all the vigor, bodily
strength and ambition that usually character
izes younger men, and thoie qualities, joined to
his experience, pronounce him to be the man
we need. In his personal appearance the Com
modore is a person that would at once attract
attention, having all the easy grace of a finished
gentleman together with a commanding look
that betokens perseverance Wand a determina
tion to successfully carry out any undertaking
that he may be engaged in. - He is just the
man to command respect and to deserve it.—
There is no doubt but that he will guide the
expedition with safety to its destination, and
return crowned with success.
A CmatolatAN rs TROUBLE. —The Rev. Freder
ick T. Broun has resigned the chaplaincy of the
7th Ohio regiment, in consequence of a difficul
ty with the commanding officer, Colonel Tyler,
and he writes a long letter to the Cleveland
Herald; setting forth his troubles. Mr. Broun
says that his offence was the publication of a
letter giving an account of the battle at Cross
Lanes, and that the Colonel was offended with
some of his statements'. This is one side of the
story. Colonel:Tyler has given no counter
statements as yet.

From Washington.
Completion of the Batteries on the
Maryland Shore.
THEIR RANGE TRIED ON THE PAGE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.
The steamer Resolute came up to the Navy
Yard last night.
One of the batteries on the Maryland shore
has been completed, and the range of some of
our 32-pounder parrot guns was tried on the
rebel steamer George Page yesterday. Three
shots struck her, with what effect is not known,
as the water being being very high, she was
enabled to run up Quantico Creek out of range.
A detachment of seamen from the yard this
morning attended the funeral of John Walters,
one of the unfortunate boat's crew fired upon
at the time of the death of Capt. Ward, and
who then received a bullet shot •in his breast,
under the effect of which he has lingered until
the present time.
THE WAR IN WESTERN VLRGINIA,
Nothing Later from the Fight at
Gauley Bridge.
Gen. Floyd's forces opposite Camp Tompkins
are not less than 4,000, but how many are at
Gauly Bridge, four miles this side, is not known.
The telegraphic communication by the Kanawha
line are interrupted and the casualities cannot be
ascertained. There has been no communication
with Rosencrans' head-quarters since Friday
afternoon. The operator at Camp Tompkins
at that time reported fighting going on at
Gauley, but gave no particulars, and immedi
ately afterward the line broke.
The Kanaha line was working to Camp En
yart, twelve miles above Charleston, on Satur
day, but nothing was known there of affairs at
Gauley.
A boat that left Charleston at 7 o'clock on
'Sunday morning has arrived at Gallipolis but
brings no information.
LATER FROM EUROPE.
The Captain of the Pirate Sumter at
Liverpool.
The steamship Jura from Liverpool on the
24th, via Londonderry on the 25th, arrived
here at four o'clock this morning. In conse
quence of the derangement of the telegraphic
wires between here and New York, the trans
mission of her advices was delayed till this
evening.
The steamer Fulton from New York arrived
out on the 24th.
Capt. Simmers, of the privateer Sumter had
reached Liverpool on the steamer Edinburgh.
It was expected that the Bank of France
will almost immediately adopt some measures
to palliate the existing crisis. The accouchment
of the Empress of Austria is expected at the
commencement of February. It is the general
impression that the resignation of the Kingdom
of Italy will be the basis for the reconstruction
by the Austrian Cabinet.
GOVERNMENT AGENTS FOR EUROPE
It is rumored here that Thurlow Weed and
Archbishop Hughes are about to start for Europe,
probably by the Africa, on Wednesday next, to
endeavor to counteract the operation of the
southern Emissaries and prevent any recognition
of the southern confederacy by either France or
England. General Scott, it is supposed, will
go in the same steamer.

DEATH OF AN OLD BANK PRESIDENT
AmisroWN, Nov. 4.
Hon. J. Dißinger, President of the Bank
since its organization, died yesterday at noon.
"TARING THE OATH."—Down in Wirt county,
where the rebels have recently been perpetrat
ing outrages, and where Dowland was lately
murdered, taking the oath is a standing joke.
Wu en a secessionist can show that he has shot
or shot at a Union man, or destroyed a Union
man's property, his compatriots collect about
and make him take the oath upon a peck of
cards or a brick-bat. They think it a good
thing, and we think it so too. There is some
thing irresistable funny about it, and we are
only surprised that the rascals had wit enough
to avail themselves of the fun it suggests. We
are told by a, federal officer who has just arrived
from Burning Springs, that all the rebels in that
country will walk up in a body and take the
oath every day for a week if permitted to do so.
They like it. They regard it as a license to do
as they please. The oldest inhabitant has never
seen the secessionist in Wirt county who
wouldn't take the oath gladly.— Wheeliny Va.)
