THE INTEGRITY OF TEE STATE ADMIN.
I. • ISTRATION.
Among the first of all the loyal common
wealths in the Union, that responded to the
summons of the President, during the dark and
portentnons days of April last, was the state of
Pennsylvania. Governor Curtin, with a zeal
which knew no bounds and an energy that has
since proved itself invincible, had the satisfac
tion of beholding at least a thousand men on
their way and actually in Washington city,
before the mobs of Baltimore had fairly com
menced to gather their missiles to obstruct the
passage of loyal troops to the national capital.
This energy on the part of the state adminis
tration has never flagged or abated from the
first signal of alarm to the notee of terror and
dismay which followed the Bull Bun disaster, up
to the present hour, when order and ardor once
more animate our troops, and the prospects of
victory are as certain as life. In the midst of
the stupendoue labors in which the Governer of
Pennsylvania was thus engaged duringolmost
the entire year of his administration, and being
compelled to encounter and conquer new diffi
culties as the strange policy of a government
engaging in warlike operations to preserve its
elf against those who had sworn to defend and
maintain its existence, was being developed
and vigorously carried out, Gov. Curtin sud
denly found arrayed against himself a foe more
desperate, if possible, than those which were in
arms for the overthrow of the government.
While he was summoning the people to the
rescue of their country—arousing them to en
listments—organising them into companies and
regiments, and hurrying them forward to the
national capital, he was assailed with a viru
lence and a rancor, which at once defined a
desperate and most wretched purpose, not only
to destroy him but to break down his adminis
tration. This was the means adopted then, by
the enemies of the government, to assist the
progress and success of rebellion. But it was
met at its inception, by the Executive whom it
was designell to destroy, in a manner at once
becoming of his high position and proud repu
tation. The people of the state have not for
gotten the clamor which was the nraised ag stoat
the state administration—they have not forgot
ten the men who engaged in the work of de
famation, and when a commission was insti
tuted to examine the charges thus preferred,
the facts and the testimony then fairly estab
fished not only the falseness of the allegations
as to fraud, but they added to the integrity and
independence of the Executive by placing before
the public, in an official form, a relation and
exposition of his labors which, under other
circumstances, would never have been known
to the public.
The report of the commission thus con
stituted, after the most rigid and thorough
examination of all the witnesses acquainted or
connected with the military organization of
the state, was received by the people with the
most complete satisfaction. That commission
was composed of men of all parties, men of
integrity and respectability, who entered on
the work untrammeled and unprejudiced.
Every means that could be afforded was
tendered by the state administration to facili
tate and further the ends of justice, in develop•
lug the fraud, if any had been committed in
the organization of troops, the supply of arms,
clothing and 'rations. Nothing was left un
tested—nothing unexplained—nothing unex
plored. It was a clear, searching and indepen
' dent investigation of the truth, and in the
light of that truth, as honoratle a vindication
as ever was made of the reputation of any
official officer, basely charged with dereliction,
or meanly held to account to gratify personal
spite and satisfy political vengeance. And yet,
in the face of these facts, the enemies of
the state administration are not satisfied.
They are determined to persist in their persecu
tions, because they depend on this very system
of defamation for success in their darling
purpose of aiding rebellion by means of libel
ing loyalty. Not satisfied with the truth, and
professing to legislate for the interests of the
people, they have resolved again to revive the
stale charges with which they embarrassed the
• labors of the state administration from its
inauguration and during all the•stormy and
startling events of last summer, but they for
get that the Governor of Pennsylvania has
passed through the fire unscathed, that impar
tial investigation has increased his reputation
for integrity ; and that once vindicated by a
commission composed of men of the highest
character, he can now defy the scrutiny of those
whose characters and instincts do not rise
aboie the charlatonisms of politics, or the
meaner business of wasting legislative time to
promote. partisan purposes.
The influence which is at work in the legisla
ture to inaugurate investigation, might be re
spected, if it was prompted either by a patriotic
or manly motive. -But, lacking these as bum-
tives, and aiming only at the achievement of
the meanest party purposes, those who are as
sailed by its insinuation, and those who threat
ened with exposure men who have no conceal
ments, can afford not only to defy but to court
investigation. And when such investigation is
started, the pseudo patriots in the legislature
will find the state administration ready to re
spond to any summons they can issue, prepared
and armed with the truth, to maintain not
only its own integrity, but to hold those re
sponsible who thus seek its moral destruction
that they may rise on its ruins to political
power.
PVlVYAracitiettßalaiiBv(er
The evident disposition of Congress to abolish
the franking privilege, reminds us of a fact,
which is not generally understood, and when
it is within the knowledge of the people, not
fully appreciated. The fact to which we allude
is, that the franking privilege was one of the
prolific sources out of which has sprung mud!)
of the influence which is now at work either in
upholding rebellion at the south, or encourag
ing and sympathizing with it in the north. At
first this postal privilege was designed to afford
members of Congress and their constituents the
facilities for epistolary intercourse, where
by it was expected that the interests of the
people would be promoted, and the means of
gaining a knowledge of their wants by Senators
and Representatives greatly enlarged. But from
these objects, the franking privilege has been
prostituted to the basest partisan purposes, until
the system has become not only a burden to
the Post Office Department, but a terrible in
fluence of danger to our social and political ex
istence. The mere franking of written com
munications passing between members of Con
gress and their constituents, is a matter of
small importance when considered as a gratni
tious work on the part of the Post Office. In
this respect no burden is imposed and very
little fraud practiced. It is the franking of
political documents which imposes the burden
and creates the wrong to which we allude when
we assert that to the franking privilege might
be traced much of the cause of our present diffi
culties.
Among members of Congress the practice has
long existed of making at least one speech
during a session for home cohsumption or bun
comb. These speeches abounded in exaggera
tion, extravagant assertion and direct false
hood, where that served best to achieve the
purpose of the Congressman. Such speeches
were generally circulated immediately before
every election, at the public expense, with no
other object in view than that of benefitting
their authors and the political parties to which
they adhered. The system as it was developed,
begat one vice after another, until it assumed
an influence of fearful extent and magnitude.
It had the tendency of inflaming the passion of
the people of one section against those of
another. It assisted in giving currency to the
perversion of truth when patriotism should
have dictated only the utterance and circulation
of fair and honest words. It was used by the
minions of slavery to create a bitter hostility
among the people of the south against those of
the north ; while an equally fanatical band of
men in the north, promoted their objects in
the same manner, by filling the mail with in
flamatory matter, and making use of their high
official positions to create a prejudice in sections,
which has at length culminated in an organized
effort to destroy the government.
It is fitting therefore, that the whole system
should either be abolished, or so amended and
restricted, as to confine the franking privilege
only to such documents as are official, compel
linethase who correspond with members of
Congress to pay the postage thus incurred, and
forbidding the circulation of any speech on any
subject, at the expense of the government
through the mails.
A PATRIOTIC RESOLVE.
The Republican State Central Committee met
yesterday in this city, and after a . `, colloquial
discussion of informal business, resolved to
adjourn without suggesting any other political
action to their fellow-citizentethan that which
aims at the support of both the state and na
tional a !ministrations, and in all their efforts
to maintain the Union, vindicate the law, and
restore peace to the government. This noble
example on the part of the State Central Com
mittee will not be lost on the people. It proves
by patriotic deeds what rival partisans are at
tempting vainly to establish by hollow profes
sions, and as the leaders of Republicanism thus
cast aside all party obligation which may in
any manner interrupt that anion essential for the
Union, they are unconsciously gathering to
their ranks the independence and intelligence
of all parties, to be consolidated some day into
such an organization as will sweep from exis
tence not only traitors but the sympathisers
with treason.
This action of the State Central Committee,
while it treats as insignificant any mere organ
isation of the Republican party, will not be
understood as abrogating any of the principles
of the same organisation. So far as those
principles relate to the defence of ' the govern
ment by the administration of the law and the
enforcement of the legal authority in all sec
tions, they still animate the Republicans of the
land, and woo those to allegiance who would
otherwise be in open rebellion. The present
object of the Republicans of Pennsylvania is to
assist in the preservation of the Union. The fu
ture, fall of hops and glory, is reserved for them
for such political triumphs as can also only en
sure the future peace and prosperity of the na
tion.
TIER Q 111831014 ABROA.D.—A pamphlet has just
appeared in Paris with the title "The American
Union and Europe." It is signed by M.
lienouf. He argues that the war between the
north and south is not a war for abolition, and
consequently that great sentiment ought not
to affect political action or the sympathies of
mankind. They should remember only that
the Union has repeatedly extended itself, that
its statesmen claim the; whole continent, and
that a federal republic can absorb all races.
He, therefore, suggests that as the war is not
one of political danger, as the contest embar
rasses Prance, and as England must imminence
a campaign, England and France united should
guarranty to the south her independence on
condition of emancipation.
This view see= to meet with some favor in
Paris.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22:
The following dispatch was received at Head
quarters to-night:
Lounwrims, Jan. 22, 1862.—T0 Major-Gen
eral McClellan, commanding the United States
Army—The following has just been received
from General Thomas:
The rout of the enemy was complete. After
succeeding in getting two pieces of artillery
across the river, and upwards of fifty wagons,
he abandoned the !net, with all the ammunition
in the depot at Mills Spring. They then threw
away their arms and dispersed through the
mountain by-ways, in toe direction of Monti
cello; but are so completely demoralized that
I don't believe they will make another stand
short of Tennessee.
The property captured on this side of the
river is of great value, amounting to eight 6-
pounders and two Porrott guns, with cessions
filled with ammunition; about one hundred
four horse wagons, and upwards of twelve hun
dred horses and mules; several boxes of a ma
which have never been upsned, and from five
hundred to one thousand muskets (mostly flint
locks bur. in good order); subsistence stores
enough to serve the entire command for three
days, and a large amount of hospital stores.
As soon as I received the report of the Bri
gade Commanders, I will furnish a detailed re
port of the battle. Our loss was thirty-nine
killed and one hundred and twenty-seven
wounded.- Among the wounded were Colonel
McCook, of the Ninth Ohio, commanding a
brigade of his, and Lieutenant Bart, of the U.
S. Infantry. The loss of the rebels was Zolh
clffer and one hundred and fourteen others
killed and buried, one hundred and sixteen
wounded, and forty-five taken prisoners, (not
wounded,) five of whom are surgeons, and in
cluding Lieutenant Colonel Carter, of the Sev
enteenth Tennessee regiment.

Further of the Fight,
Louismua, Jan. 22
General Thomas now reports the federal loss,
at the recent battle, at thirty-nine killed and
one hundred and twenty-seven wounded.
Among the wounded are Col. McCook, of the
Ninth Ohio, and his aid, Lieut. Burt, of the
Eighteenth U. S. Infantry. Of the rebels,
Zollicoffer and one hundred and fourteen others
were killed, one hundred and sixteen wounded,
and forty-five taken prisoners.
A prisoner says that George B. Crittenden
was the first in command of the rebel forces,
and Zollicoffer second. Crittenden fled to the
woods, taking the wrong road, and it is sup
posed he will be captm ed.
The Federal fortes aotively.engaged were the
Tenth Indiana, Fourth Kentucky, Second
Minnesota, and Ninth Ohio—their respective
loss being in the order named.
They were reinforced, after the first and,se-
vereet engagement, by the Twelfth and Tenth
Kentucky, First and Second Tennessee, Four
teenth, Thirty-first, Thirty-fifth and Thirty
sixth Ohio regiments, and Standard's, Whit
more's and Kinney's batteries.
The rebel forces were estimated at ten
thousand.
Green C. Clay, of Bourbon county, a eon of
Brutus Clay, and aid to General Schoepff, was
with General Thomas in the engagement, and
has just arrived, bringing a splendid silk rebel
flag, bearing the inscription—" Presented to the
Mountain Rangers, Captain F. A. Ashford, by
Mrs. W. D. Charderoyne."
Col. S. S. Fry, of the Fourth Kentucky regi-
ment, had his horse shot from under him by one
of Zollicoffer's aide ; when he turned and shot
Zollicoffer through the left breast.
The first breaking of the rebel ranks was e
Noted by Colonel R. S. lii'Cook, of the Ninth
Ohio,
acting brigadier-general, who ordered his
men to charge bayonets, which put the rebels
to immediate flight.
The last order issued to the rebels, which
was found in their enctimpment, was signed by
Col. Crimmins, the senior! n command after the
death of Zollicolfor and flight of Crittenden,
directing the rebels to disperse, and save them
selves the best ray they could.
• The Journal says that General Thomas, with
a large force has crossed the Cumberland, and
Is hunting the flying rebels through Wayne
county.
A private letter from Somerset says citizens
and soldiers are struggling in loaded with tr.,-
phies of the battle. Our bullets were sent with
unerring aim, many of the rebels being shot in
the forehead, breast and stomach. ,
The Union people here flocked to the battle
field in droves, and are jubilant at the result.
It is thought that Gen. Crittenden is taken
prisoner, disguised as a surgeon.
STILL LATER.
Crsoutsert, Jan. 23.—Yesterday's Louisville
Journal says the instructions of General Buell
show that he is fully master of the situation.
It was arranged that Geo. Thomas should leave
and that General Shopf should advance from
Somerset, thus hemming Zollicoffer in from
west and north.
Some secession spy (landed intelligence of
Thomas' 'movements to the rebel camp, and
Zo!Scoffer making a forced march on Saturday
afternoon, reached Thomas' encampment early
on Sunday morning. In the meantime Major
Sheppard of the 18th regulars, Col. Mansou'a
brigade, the 10th Indiana, Col. Harlens, 10th
Kentucky, Col. Fry's, and the fourth Kentucky,
reached General Thomas' camp after a forced
march of 25 miles, so that he was- able to ad.
vance upon the rebels and drive them be.ore
him, until they reached their entrenchment
at night.

One correspondent says Vera Cruz is sur
iounded by the Mexicans on the inland, and
almost besieged. No vegetables or fuel could
reach the city, and many articles of prime ne
cessity were sadly needed. Many of the Span
'eh troops were sick, and many desertions had
taken place. There were great fears of an at
tack by the Mexicans on Vera Crnz Several
Spanish sentinels had ben shot.
An American vessel, the Beautiful Star, ar
rived at Vera Cruz with four thousand guns,
three hundred pounds of powder, and other war
munitions for the Mexican Republic. She was
seized by the Spaniards, as was also a small lot
of arms aboard the brig Puebla. Nine other
vessels of the same description were expected
soon to arrive, and they will also be confiscated.
The English, French and Spanish flags wave
